MERCIFUL SWITZERLAND.
Some of What the Little Republic Did In
the Late World War.

| M;ncful of her solemn duty, Switz-
erland has been, since the beginning
of the war. jealousy guarding her
| frontiers for the benefit or all the
bellgerents and no less for the benefit
of mankind,
This EARNED neutrality has so far
cost every Swiss soldier an average of
one and a half years field service and
hBve cost the country an outlay of ap-
proximateI $2o0, 100000. This Is
considerable amount OF money for
little land of but $500, 900 inhabi-
tants.
In addition Swiss commerce anu
industry has been crippled owing to
her being an finland natlon.,, with no
outlet to the sea and consequently with
no merchant marine of her own.
Of course, neutrality is never glor-
lous, but it may be honorable if digni-
fled by solemn agreements scrupu-
lously adhered to, by suferings and
privations ungrudglngly bourne, and
by charity warmly felt and generously
shown tor the greater suff arings of
others.
For four years Switzerland has
acted-to use Ambassador Stovall's
the Good Samaritan"
of war stricken Europe. The kindly
Ut the Swiss to those
who have felt deeply the storm and
stress of war has been one of the
beautiful by-touche5 of the tragedy
that has borne down on so many lives.
May one only recal that since the
outbreak of the war the Swiss have
taken care of the repatriation of over
500, 200 SICK prisoners of war, of all
and that the postal
authorities have received and for
Narded to and from prisoners OIL war,
rec of charge, over $4,000, 900 letters
md packages, as we'll a. some 10,00O,-
)0O money orders and $500, 00J bread
not included in these figures
$ a huge amount of express ship
nents.
Indeed, Switzerland's career of re-
ief work finds Its only parallel In the
of Hoover in BelgIum.--

Jews for November.

FARM CHANGES HANDS.
A. ], Hyder Sells I60-Acre Farm, Near
Vandever, to Arizona Man.

The 16O acre A. J. Hyuer farm,
twelve Il lies south of Crossville, was
bought by j. T. Holms, of Phoenix,
Arizona, and Mr.. Hyder and wife left
for Colorado Friday morning. The
consideration of the deal was around
$4,000, not including the live stock,
farm implements and feed. The deal
was closed through John Q. Wyatt,
real estate agent.
Mr.. Hyder was prompted to make
the change because his children are in
the west. He spent few years there
and returned here about two years ago
but was nnt satisfied to he so far from
his CHILDREN ana decided to retGrn to
the west.
Mr.. Holms and family took posses
sion of the farm last week. 1t is Sit
uated q 'ew miles from Vandever. 1t
is the purpose q Mr. Holms to devote
his energies to purbred Hereford
cattle.

section of Arizona, but was raised in
Tennessee, his mother now living near
Chattanooga.
Mr.. Holns will rent a house in
town and leave his family there dur
ing the school period so that they
can have the advantages of our good
schools. They have four children of
the school age. .
Besides buying the farm Mr.. Holms
also bought the cattle, hogs, sheep
on the farm.
They seem to be excellent people and
will prove very de sirable addition to
our citizenship. In the gong away of
A. j. Hyder and wife cur county loses
two excellent citizens and it is with
much regret that their many friends
see them leave.

SAY CONGRESSMAN
FILED HIS SUIT FOR
POLITICAL REASONS

That Congressman Thomas s.
crago, Of Pennsylvania, filed his suit
against the Fidelity Storage Com
pany to keep them from renting his
apartments in the Farnsboro apart
ment house to another party after the
expiration Of his lease, ''for political
reasons" Is alleged by the storage
company in its answer to the suit
filed today.
Contradicting the claim OF Con-
gresham Crago, the storage COM
pany, which is represented by At
torney c. H. Merillat, alleges that
Mr.. Crago had no yearly lease on the
apartment, but a lease from month
to month, and not at 81, 200 a year
rental but at S135 q month. The
Fidelity Storage Company declares
that il offered the apartments to Mr..
Crago at the rate of 81 200 a year,
but that he refused, saying he did
not expect to be in Washington with
his family after March. 1917. and
wanted an agreement from month to
month, which he might terminate at
any time.
In answer to the charge that they
were taking advantage Of the war
and were renting their apartments at
excessive rates, the Fidelity Storage
Company says II duly notified Mr..
Crago to vacate the apartments at
the end of December, 1917, and that
CraEo then offered TO retain the
apartments until June, 1915, at $135
a month. This offer was refused be-
cause the storage company claimed
that this would leave the apartment
on its hands at the beginning OF the
dull renting season. Later Mr.. Crago
offered to lease the apartment until
October, 1918.
