London.-Millions of pounds are to
be spent In the creation Of a system
of industrial garden cities which ulti-
mately will rim metropolitan London.
The scheme. just outlined, is the most
elaborate city-building project ever
undertaken In England and Is an
adaptation Of the model Industrial
town idea originated some years ago
in tho United States.
Building on the first Of these
flower garden" suburb cities Is to
begin next month north of London, ac-

ments. The town will be self-sup'
porting and will cover several thou
sand acres. Within its precincts will
be an agricultural area. Its populact
will be supported by several engineer
ing industries to be located there.
The project Is an attempt not only
TO solve London's housing system
which has become a grievous one
but to prevent an overwhelming con
gestion of the city's industries ant
other commercial activities.

Asphalt Splashes;
May Lose Eyesight

Sioux Falls, Oct. 24.-CarI Nc
Cormick, carpenter in the employ
of the Sioux Falls Construction com
pany, met with an accident that may
cost him the sight of one eye. Mr..
Mccormick was at work on the addi-
tion to the Morrell packing plant.
He was using hot asphalt in working
around a door which was to be made
air tight. In some manner some OF
the hot asphalt splashed into his
face. There are several severe burns
on his face, but the most serious sit
uation is in connection with the eye
which the attending physicians and
specialists called believe will be ma
terially impaired If the sight is not
lost entirely.

BIGAMY PROBLEM IN ENGLAND
Regard 1t as veniai
Offense.

London.-Increase In bigamous mar
riages throughout the United King
dom, much more pronounced since the
end OF the war, Is causing grave con-
cern, and there is growing disposi-
ton to treat bigamy as venial Of
Tense.
Sir Bernard Mallet, the registrar
general, Is credited with the statement
that English bigamy laws afford less
security against bigamy than the laws
of almost any other civilized state. A
new act of parliament Is necessary,
and Sir Bernard suggests az prelim-
mary that some plan be outlined by
which accurate Information concern
ing the principals in proposed mar
riage may be obtained by the compe-
tent authorities before the ceremony
can be performed.

Farmers Make Record
Killing Rattle Snakes

Pierre, Oct 24.-A party of Mel
lette county farmers discovered a
colony of rattlesnakes evidently max
ing for winter quarters at some point,
and killed forty-one of these dam
gerous reptiles before they had clean
ed up all in sight.
The next day they returned to the
location and cleaned up nineteen
more of the snakes, which were head
ed in the same direction as the first
bunch.
To rid the county of sixty of these
poisonous reptiles goes a long way
toward keeping the supply down ir

WEIGHING THE SCHOOL

We are planning through the
schools of the county to have all the
school children weighed each month
during the school year. We hope to
get definite information on the de-
velopment of all children. If any
are under weight we hope to be able
to learn the cause of this and help
furnish the remedy. Some day we
hope to have scales in each school.
For this year we will have to depend
on the farmers and business men
that have scales to help us in this
work. We realize that this may fire.

CLOTHING FOR
EUROPEAN RELIEF
CAMPAIGN BY LUTHERANS TO
BE MADE in LAKE
COUNTY

10 lne LulneFanS OF Lake county:
l trust every Lutheran heart has
been deeply stirred by the accounts
of the suffering of thousands and
thousands of fellow Lutherans in
war-stricken Europe, particularly in
Poland, Austria, the Baltic provinces
and Hungary The suffering and
want as they face the severe winter
beggars description. The red wave
of Bolshevism has swept across the
lands. The pastors were the first to
feel the rage of the beast. Our
Lutheran national commission to
Europe reports an appalling condi-
tion. Men, women and children
were tortured and murdered by the
Terror. among them 25 Lutheran
pastors. In Finland IL pastors were
killed. Some were crucified and
some had to dig their own graves and
were then buried alive by their tor
mentors. Poland has had to endure
three armies of occupation In sue
cession-the Russian, the German
and the Austrian. Millions were de-
ported into Russia, and among these
were 100000 Lutherans. On their
return they found their homes in
ashes, their farms devastated, their
churches and schools in ruins. In
dire poverty they are now living in
temporary homes-huts that give
poor protection against the frequent
rains. Starved and scantily clad
they fall prey to tuberculosis and
typhus in large numbers.
What will happen to the masses of
people without shoes and underwear
and with very little other clothing
and with no bedding when the cold
winter sets in?
Here is what one of our Lutheran
commissioners in Europe. Rev. H. J.
Schuh, writes after investigating con-
ditions: I'm these former Russian
provinces the Bolshevists ragged like
devils. In Riga alone 25 Lutheran
pastors were murdered A number
were shot in prison where they had
been held as hostages. Some were
crucified, others buried alive and
still others submitted to tortures and
nameless cruelties. Smallpox and
typhus have broken out and the pop
ulation of the city has been reduced
by some 100000. The over-flowine
hospitals are without supplies.
Disease, privation and starvation
and certain death stare in the facs
the thousands who were deported
during the war an dhave now return
ed to Poland penniless, only to fine
their homes in ruin and their farms
desolate. Help is needed at once
Winter is coming. Without propel
clothing thousands will die.
A nationwide campaign among
the 100000 Lutherans in thi,
country has been started and speed,
drive is planned in every congrega
ton to collect secondhand clothing
and shoes. Two thousand tons O
clothing will be needed for imme
diate relief. This means that eacf
congregation must collect at leas
400 pounds of clothing. Articel
needed are: Underwear for men AM
women, stockings. shoes, mems suits
women's skirts and waists. over
coats, muffiers, sweaters. mittens
caps. blankets. bed clothes, etc.
Let lis make thorough canvas
for old and usable garments. Fo
every pound Of clothing 25c will b
needed to pay for transportation
distribution and supplying neede'
things in addition to the clothing.

LAY ALL UNDER CONTRIBUTION
Persian Dervshes Demand Aims as a
Right, and Simple People Read
lily Give Up.

A feature Of Persian life which Illus
trates the simple and superstitious
nature OF the people Of the mideast Is
their tolerance of the dervishes. These
weird, gypsylike beggars infest the
cities and annoy the village folk in
passing from one place to another, ac-
cording to their VOWS of itinerancy.
These are not the whirling dervishes
Of circus fame. Whirling would be too
energetic a form of worship for the
members of this most ancient leisure
class. Their greatest exertion consists
of walking slowly and blowing horn
to announce their presence.
The dervish Of Persia is known by
his begging bowl, conical cap, animal
skin cape and club. The weapon,
which is usually stick driven through
with nails, Is carried conspicuously.
1t fact, 1t seems unpleasantly ready
for use when its owner calmly de-
mands tribute. 1t Is true that there
Is small danger Of its use, even If
aims are refused, but a refusal how
ever polite and apologetical, is sure to
arouse the wrath of the dervish. His
vocabulary may be unintelligible, but
the meaning of his threats and proph-
ecies is usually understood. Fellow
citizens of the dervish tribe prefer to
make gift at any cost in order to
avoid having the wrath of heaven
called down upon them In the mastery
language Of an experienced heaven in
v0ker.
The dervish makes himself useful to
the community honored by his pres
ence by telling fortunes and stories,
reciting prayers, selling charms and
even curing the sick by blowing his
sacred breath on them-all in return
for which he turns over to his chief
after deducting living wage.

TO HONOR SOLDIERS
information Wanted Touching Cumber-
land County Soldier Boys.

At the last session of the Legislature
an Act was passed authorizing the
erection of a Memorial Hall in honor
Cf the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen OF
Tennessee. This Act carried with it
an appropriation OF $1,000, 600. 90 to-
ward the making of PARK, the erec-
tion of the Memorial Hall and other
buildings needed by the State. David
son County voted $500. 900. 90 and the
City of Nashville S4OO, 10000 toward
this work.
Already buildings along the Capitol
Boulevard are being condemned; soon
the property will be taken over by the
State, the buildings will be torn down
and the Hall and other improvements
begun.
This Act also authorized the Cover
nor to appoint a committee of twenty
five eminent men and women over the
State to constitute Tennessee War
History Committee, of which John
Trotwood Moore, State Librarian, is
the chairman.
Among other plans, they are ap-
pointing a County Chairman to get up
the data for ca h county in the State.
They are also providing Form Gard
to be filled out with the record Of each
soldier or sailor.
1t is also desired, and of great i'm
portance, that original letters written
by the boys, whether overseas or in
camp, trophies and maps pertaining to
our country's war activities should be
collected and preserved, wherever
parents and freinds will part with
them, as they will be of inestimable
value for future historians. These
will be securely attached to each SOL
dler's card.
After all have been occurred they will
be sent to the War History Committee
for filation and record, and then placed
10 the Archives of Memorial Hall;
thus preserving the names and valiant
deeds of "our boys where they will
be read and known for all tines-an
inspiration for future generations.
Will you not assist in the preserva-
tion of these records? When in Cross
vile will you not call upon Mrs. Chas.
Comstock or Judge Geo. 2. Burnett or
with them by letter, who
will have the cards to be filled out and
give you any information you may de-
sire.

GIVEN NAMES OF PRESIDENTS
Historical Applications Bestowed on
Submits Of MountaIn Range In
- Old Vermont.

Heretofore when one spoke Of the
presidential range everyone - every
New Englander, at least-knew, with
out further particularizing, that Mount
Washington and its attendant sum: lits
was the subject writes Allen Cham
berlain in the Boston Evening Tran
script.
Henceforth one must needs be more
specific, since during the last year a
rival presidential range has appeared
on the map In Vermont. That region,
hitherto generally spoken of as the
Bread Loaf Mountain section, lying
between Middlebury gap and the Lin
cOln-Warren pass was but little
known, except in its southorly portion,
until the Green Mountain club men
ran their Skyline trail through. They
found there q maze of unnamed sum
mits grouped as in council, and SEEM
ingly worthy of being recognized as
individuals OF distinction.
Just north of these heights is the
rugged mass whose SUBMITS have been
known for more than half a century as
Mounts Abraham and Lincoln. Quite
naturally the idea of a new presiden-
tial range arose and, with great parti-
san restraint, four of the neighbOring
mountains were therefore named
Mount Grant, Mount Grover Cleve-
land, Mount Roosevelt and Mount
Woodrow Wilson.

"Shirts are gradually gaining in pOpu-

of soft tennis shirts with collar and
pocket or collar and two pockets sell
freely. These shirts are usually worn
for dressy occasions, when the ma
tives are generally clothed in white

mand for khaki shorts and trousers.
The shorts are either plain or with
buckle knees and are being worn by
Fijian men beneath or instead Of a

ABOUT COMING CENCUS.
It Has No Connection with Taxation
in Future.

Washington. October 81 THAT the
facts and figures gathered by the
enumerators. supervisors and specia!
agents of the Fourteenth Decennial
Cencus will have absolutely nothing to
do with valuation of property for taxa
tion purposes is point l desire to en-
phasize with all possible vigor,' said
Director of the Census Sam L. Rogers
today in speaking of the forthcoming
1920 enumeration.
Some difficulty has been experienced
in the past, continued MIR. Rogers,
sin getting absolutely accurate values
of land and other property because of
certain amount OF confusion over
this point. Many people we're errene-
ously inclined to connect the Census
with taxation. We hope to avoid any
such confusion this time
The act of Congress which, under
the Constitution, provides for the tax
ing of the Fourteenth Decennial Cen
sus makes it unlawful for any enumer-
ator, special agent, supervisor or other
employee of the Census Bureau to di-
vulge any information whatsoever con-
cerning the census returns. A heavy
fine and possible imprisonment. or
both. is the penalty prescribed for
violation of this provision of the law.
The proper tabulated figures of the
Census are given odt nowhere but
here in W. shing ton and then only up
on, the EXPRESS authority of the Di-
rector of tie Census Bureau.
Actual rk by the enumerators in
the various census districts will begin
on January 2. 1920. 1t is expected
that the population statistics of all
cities and towns will be gathered in
two weeks. Final fig-
ures for rural districts, however, can
hardly be gathered in less than a
month.
