Why Flour Explodes.

Records of the last ten wears show that about twenty explosions have oc- cured in cereal flour and feed mills, with the loss of $2,000,000 worth of property, as well as the killing or in- turing of over two hundred employees Investigations regarding the causes of these explosions and subsequent fires have not proved conclusively what are the difficulties to be avoided. In eight cases the explosions are believed to have originated from the sparks pro- duced in the machines during the grinding process. Tiny particles of gravel or metallic substances coming into contact with the plates of the ma chine may produce enough sparks to ignite the dust within the machine. Another possible cause for cereal dust explosions. suggested is the use of naked flames.

GENERAL ELECTIONS IN SPAIN.

Madrid. Feb. 23.-The campaign preceding the general elections for the Cortes, which take place tomor- TOW, closed today with last appeals by the candidates through the news papers. A flood of leafle;s has also been sent through the post.
 The interest in the election, judg- ing from the attendance at the final meetings and the, space devoted to the campaign by ta1e newspapers, nas ] never been surpassad in the entire political history of modern Spain. From some time past the government has been in critical situation as re- sards affairs both at home and abroad. Industrial unrest is rife in many sections of the country and ec- onomic problems of gravest import are pressing for solution. With re- gards to foreign affairs the situation is equally unsatisfactory. The inter- ests in the war has aroused a storm of protest, and of late fuel ilas been added to the flames bv the ruthless sinking of Spanish merchant ships by German submarines.

E. SUNDAY WANTS TO
 HELP WIPE OUT HUNS

Billy Sunday, noted evangelist would help wipe out that dirty bunch of Huns" according to a dis patch from Washington, D. C., which says:
 "Just before leaving he announced to his big Sundaynight tabernacle au- dience that he was going to France to work among the soldiers at the front, probably in July. Although it is un- derstood that his services at the front have been sought both by the Y. M. CA. and by John D. Rockefel- Ter, Jr., who wants to have the evan- gelist made chaplain in the army, Billy's intimation tonight was that his work would be personally conducted, also that he would not be chaplain, for he expressed the hope that Gen eral Pershing would lend machine gun so he could help wipe out that dirty bunch of Huns'"

TtUT0NS AIDED BY UkRAINANS
 NEARING kIEV
Ukrane Capital Now Held By Bolsheviki Threaten
 ed by Advancing Army.

London, Feb. 23.-Austrian and Ukrainian troops are nearing Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, now held by the Bolsheviki, according to dispatches from Petrograd in the late editions of the morning newspapers. It is said that Polish legionaries aided the Germans in occupying Minsk.
 Petrograd newspapers, it is added, report that Russian soldiers on the northern front seized 27 trains which are being used to carry 40,000 of the soldiers to Moscow. The Germans are taking no prisoners, merely disarmng the Russians and liberating them.
 German airplanes, the correspond- ent of the Times says, are distributing proclamations calling on the Russian people to remain calm and keep order as the Germans are coming to sup press anarchy and to bring food as soon as possible.
 The Boleshevki are greatly perturb- ed and depressed. Foreign Minister Trotzky is reported to be sick in con- sequence of renewal of hostilities and is unable to attend the meetings of the council of peoples comllissaries which are being held constantly.
 The Times correspondent reports some anxiety in the British colony in Petrograd, the consulate there being crowded with persons wishing to get away.
 A British military order directs all Englishmen of military age who have been exempted from service up to this time to hold themselves ready to start for home at six hours notice. Other British subjects, especially women and children, have been advised to leave Russia without delay.

Riqht Use of Diversions.

Diversions are most properly applied
 to case and relieve those who are oppressed by being too much employed. them, and yet they, above all others, give themselves up to them. To un- bend our thoughts when they are too much stretched by our cares. is not more natural than 1t. is necessary; but to turn our whole life into holiday is not only ridiculous, but destroys pleas ure instead of increasing it.--Saville.

The fact that in one great meet.
ing in Lexington, there was liberia
subscription to the Third Liberty
Loan, should not deter the county
from going right along and every
nan taking one or more bonds just
as though nothing had been done on
the first day.
The government expects the
county to take 1877 bonds and that
number should and could be easily
reached.
We have hundreds of farmers who
are we'll able to take the bonds of
small denominations and we have a
comparative few who ought to mus
ter the patriotism sufiicien to in
duce them to at least temporarily
desist from loaning their money at
ten per cent. and help the govern

Lauderdale county has done the
proper thing in the manner in which
it went over the top" in the pur
chase OF Third Liberty Loan Bonds.
Not a firm, corporation or bank in
the county had bought a bond and
yet the county has bought 1888
bonds aeereeating S225,0OO, when
the countys minimum quolo was
but S1S8,750. The people simply
became aroused to their duty-and
did it independent of the banks.

Constant attention should be
called to the fact that non-Workers,
loafers should not now be tolerated.
Men of any age, who can contribute
by their labor to the crying need to
fill in all avocationS the vacancies
of men who are in the army,
should be forced to do that bit-and
do it every day. The time for per-
sonal independence and personal
privilege has passed and every town
marshal ought to have positive in
struction to tolerate no idling, no
loafinS, Public loafing ought to be
put in the same class with public
drunkenness. The work to be done
in this country can be done by a
much less number than the nor
mai population-if those left here
will work of their own accord or be
made to work. Lexington can set
a good example to other West Ten
nessee towns by drawing the line
against loafers, white or black, Let

Knowles authority to instruct all
non-workers to 60 to work or move

We have too many people who
have not yet reached the point OF
turning loose their money to back
the government and the boys whose
lives are put in the balance against
the means asked to feed them,
clothe them, and furnish them the
arms and munitions with which to
fight the barbarous Huns. Not long
ago rich man, well known in this
county, was in Lexington and ask
ed the question ARE THE BONDS

did not seem to know that If the
bonds were not good United States
money would not be worth the pa
per on which it is printed. God
pity such man-the young men
who some day come home from
France and control this country

now and not wait to be Justly CO..

Ripley Goes Over
On Bond Sales.

Ripley, Tenn, April ia tele-
gram just received by the local
campaign committee of the third
Liberty loan drive states that Lau-
derdale County has won the distinc-
ton of being the first to 60 over the
top in the Eight Reserve District
and had captured the honor flag for
said district. The quota for this
county was $188,750 and the cali
for individual subscribers was $3.50,
Up to this time bonds have been
sold aggregating $225,95O to 1922
individual subscribers, away over
the quota both in money and sub
scribers. The campaign will not
close until May 4 and much work
will yet be accomplished. Not a
bank, firm or corporation in the
county have bought a dollars worth
of bonds, the people having been
aroused to their duty have simply
responded to the governments call.
There are no duplicates and all SUBJ
scriptions are bona fide, and all sub
scriptions are in the hands Of the
several banks of the county, who
have in turn placed orders for the
bonds to meet their respective de-
mands with the federal reserve bank
of St. Louis. Old patriotic Lauder
dale is proud of the honor Of cap
turing the honor flag and each In
dividual subscriber will share in the
glory when rhe big flag raising day
is had at a time to be set later.
