AVENGED HIS POISONED PET
Mean Way In Which Owner of Ma
rauding Cat Got Even With
Its Executioner.

A member of a certain national or
ganization was laughing over certain
attacks on the institution.
"These attacks" he said, "are clever
clever but crooked. They bring a
story to my mind.
"a man owned a big black cat that
used to sneak off to the butchers and
steal meat. The butcher warned the
man to keep his thieving cat at home
but no attention was paid to the warn
ing, and so finally the butcher de-
clared:
eff that pesky cat steals any more
Of my stock I'll poison it,
"Well, few days later the cat
made off with leg of lamb, and the
butcher, true to his word, sprinkled
bits of poisoned steak about The
next morning the black cat lay cold
and stiff before its masters door.
"The cats owner waited till the
butcher shop was crowded with saus-
age buyers. Then he tucked the corpse
under his arm and strobe in through
( the crowd.
Here you are, John he said,
slamming the dead cat down on the
meat block, beside the sausage ma
chine. Here you are. That makes
70. I'll fetch in the % others In the
course of the day."

Crossed Arctic to Help Red Cross.

Many strange things happen in the
course of Red Cross activities, and
not a few occur in that most versa
tile territory, Alaska. The Office Of
the Northwest division of the Red
Cross was mildly surprised recently
when Mrs. Sophia Redmond of Nolan,
Alaska, walked in and turned over $2O6
as the proceeds from the auctioning
OF a sweater she had knit for the Red
Cross.
This statement itself is only of pass
ing interest perhaps, but take your
map of Alaska and you will locate
Nolan well within the arctic circle, be-
tween the sixty-seventh and sixty
eighth parallels. Mrs. Redmond, who
is the only white woman at Nolan, left
there August TO- mushing to BEETLES,
70 miles away. From there she went
to Nulato by river boat, a journey Of
almost 500 miles. There she boarded
a Yukon river steamer to connect with
the ocean steamship for Seattle.

cuba,s Neglected Resources.

Though an agricultural state, there
are important branches of agriculture
that are all but wanting In Cuba.
Thus cereals are not raised on large
scale, the hay crop is unimportant and
large quantities of flour, potatoes,
meats, beans, canned goods, apples and
other agricultural products are i'm
ported. Though many cattle are raised
on the island. the dairy industry is
as yet undeveloped, and much milk.
butter and cheese are brought from
the United States and other countries.
The rural population largely engaged
on the great sugar plantations is es-
sentially different from an agricultural
state of the United States.

Restoring Mesonotamia

Under British occupation the fertile
regions of Mesopotamia are being re-
stored to productivity, for which this
region was celebrated in Biblical days.
This is disclosed in. official dispatches
received at Washington from Bagdad.
Under Turkish rule in some places
nothing was produced.
The British authorities, to save a
large part of the population from star
walton and to provide work, immedi-
ately set about, as soon as the Turks
were driven out, to construct canals
for irrigation and to encourage the
population to plan for the next har-
vest. An Arabian labor corps was or
ganized locally and three Indian labor
corps were employed.
AS result a new irrigation canal
has been opened at Mansarich, sew
enty miles northeast of Bagdad on the
Diala river, by which 100000 acres
already are being irrigated.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
+ + + + + + + + i + i +
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor
am certainly glad the article in
the Daily Sun on last Thursday con-
corning the pike roads of the county
had the desired effect in arousing the
ire of the Superintendent of Roads to
such an extent that the Tusculum
pike will be improved and it's condi-
ton made passable at least. A State
Highway Commission located at Nash
vile has manifested little interest in
highways of Greene county, and if
our highways are improved, our own
county road officials will have to get
busy, and especially so, when prom
ises by the State Highway Commits
sion are made only to be broken, ac-
cording to the statement made by
the Road Superintendent. For some
time we have been admonishing the
superintendent of the condition of
the Tusculum pike, and invariably he
would enter a plea that the State
Highway Commission was going to
work soon on this road, and we are
confident he was expecting action
on the part of the Highway Commits
sion to this effect, or he would have
given the Tusculum pike considera-
ton along with the other pike roads
Of the county. We believe Supt.
Cutshawl is doing about as well as he
can under existing conditions, for as
we have heretofore stated, and again
repeat it, that the amount of work to
be done by the Road Superintendent
is far in excess Of what one man can
do. We want to see the Tusculum
pike repaired, and if the State High
way Commission is not going to do it,
we want to see Supt. Cutshawl get
into action and give results.
