Life In other Planets.

Marconl truthfully says that many
of the planets are much older than
ours; therefore, beings who dwell
thereon ought to possess vast funds
of information that would be of In

He makes this reasonable statement
In a recent interview: at is silly to
assert that other planets are uninhab'
tied because they have no atmosphere
or are SO hot or otherwise totally diff
ferent from the earth, II there were

to our last breath that life therein

Vision and Headache.

A secent study of this subject has
brought out evidence that people of
one-eyed, monocular vision are not
troubled with eye headache. Whether
one eye be disabled or whether its use
has simply been abandoned, either
constantly or alternately, the fact that
seeing is done wholly by one eye elm
mates the struggle to make two I'M
equal eyes work in perfect unison.
Freed from the strain of that struggle,
the subject finds that the reflex influ-
ence upon the cranlal nerves is no
longer a matter of pain.

Can You Do LII

If you were TO ask an average cigar
smoker If he could smoke a cigar right
through in steady, consecutive puffs
without once taking II from his mouth,
he would probably smile at the sim
pllclty of the feat. You are fairly safe
to wager him that he cannot do 1t.
Half cigar generally consumes itself

YOUTHFUL BURGLAR
CAUGHT RED-HANDED
Took By Surprise After Entering
The Store.

Lawrence Sheffield. of Union City,
was caught last Tuesday night in
the F. C. Wehman hardware store.
The proprietors of the store, Messrs.
Frank Wehman and Jack Hubbs,
have been keeping night watch in
the store for some time. They have
been bothered heretofore and took
the precaution to keep a lookout for
burglars. So on Tuesday night young

upstairs and then down over the roof
of the old post office building, now
used for a warehouse by Mr.. Wehman.
He got down into the back alley,
got up on top of a goods box and
priced the upper sash of side win
dow down. Then he entered and
closet. Mr. Hubbs heard the noise,
but he did not know who YVES enter
ing. He was located by the heating
stove in the main building, lying on
the floor. Sheffield approached with
his fiashlight and as soon as he drew
close Mr.. Hubs got and covered him
with gun. Sheffield was surprised
and said, What does this mean?"
Mr.. Hubbs told him that he was
under arrest and escape was impos
sible.
So Sheffield was taken to Jail.
Wednesday morning the home of the
boys parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Sheffield, was searched and among
the numerous new articles found
there were two suits of clothes,
bicycle tire, baseball bat, ammuni-
ton, etc. One of the suits of cloth
ing was identified by M. A. Kauf-
man, the merchant.
John Sheffield was arrested and
arraigned for concealing stolen goods

In Loving Memory.

In the silent stiffness of the night
of July 30, 1919, the death angel
crept into the home of Mr.. and Mrs
E. L. Williams and sweetly waited
the spirit of their little grandchild
Marine Campbell, to mansions in the
skies. Another home made sad; the
world seems dark about us. Mother
and daddy's baby's gone, their hearts
are almost broken. But when we go
to God in prayer for comfort, we look
afar off through the mist of tears
and catch a CLEAN of Heaven, and
there we see sweet little Marine
among the angels, safe in Jesus arms.
Then we dry away the tears and look
forward to the time when we will
clasp her in our arms, with Him who
doeth all things well. She is trans
planted from earth to glory as little
rose bud, plucked in the early morn
ing. Little Marine was the young
est child of Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Camp
bell. She was an exceptionally
sweet baby girl of three years five
months and 23 days old. She was
sick only one week till God saw fit
to call her home. She leaves mother,
daddy, brother, sister, grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. e. L. Williams, and
reat-grandmother Mrs. Bette Cald-
well, and many friends and other
relatives to mourn her absence.
