each other and hold each planet in its


each other and hold each planet in its
regular path.
Whenever two planets wheel into
such positions that they pull together
on the sun-either in conjunction"
on the same side of the sun, or in
Opposition" with the sun between
them-their united pull causes the
SUMS gases to "explode"-to leap out
into space in the whirling volcano we
call sunspot.
These sunspots in turn cause
storms in the atmosphere of our
earth-doubtless on other planets as
we'll.
Two planets, united, are enough to
cause small sunspot and a storm.
Three cause large one-four make
very great storm, indeed.
But-on December II, 1919, no less
than seven planets will pull jointly on
the sun. These will include all the
mightiest planets, those with the most
powerful pull. Six of ofthem-Mercury.
Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and
Neptuhe-will be in conjunction;
grouped together in the greatest
"league of planets" ever known in
the annals of astronomy.
They will be massed in the narrow
limit of but 26 degrees, on the same
side of the sun.
Directly opposite, coming into
opposition with this gigantic league,
will be the huge planet Uranus. The
magnetic currents between Uranus
and the six planets will pierce the
sun like mighty spear.
Our earth is outside the league al
an angle of nearly 80 degrees-in per.
feet position to receive almost the
full force of the monster electrica,
disturbance as it leaps into activity
on what, to us, will be the eastern
horizon of the SUMS disc.
This means we shall get the full
strength of the storm when the suuspot
is at,its worst, before the exploding
gases have had time to die down.
Such a close grouping of planets
has never been recorded before. The
whole solar system will be strangely
out of balance.
What will be the outcome? MY
knowledge does not permit me t
state beyond the fact that the storms
eruptions and earthquakes will b,
tremendous, in their strength anc
scope.

BegIey Hearing Continued.
Lpoplar BLUR Republican.l J

Poplar Bluff Republican,
The hearing of George Begley, Jr.,
in voluntary bankruptcy proceedings
before o. A. Knehans of Cape Girar-
deau which was set for November %,
has been continued till December Sth,
and will be held in St. Louis where
the greater number of the creditors
live. D. H. Doane, who was appoint
ed receiver to serve until a trustee is
elected by the creditors, will serve till
the latter date and some of the cred
itors are asking that he serve until
January 9Th. However, Referee Kne-
hans is disposed to have trustee
elected at the first meeting.
Mr. Begley left town last Friday and
it is not known by the public where
he is. His relatives have said he went
to Chicago from here to be gone
few days.
No new Developments with regard
to the Begley failure have been made
public. Many tangled conditions are
presenting themselves in the various
affairs, especially where there are

who hold Begley paper and it is to be
threshed out as to which of these pa
pers are genuine and which ones are
the forgeries.
| One case has become known in
which there are four first deeds of
trust. They are against the Collett
property on Main street which is now
owned by Chas. Miller. When Mr..
Miller bought the property from Mr..
Collett he assumed $4,000 indebted
ness against the property. Mr.. Collet
had given first mortage deed to the
United Realty Company of which
Begley was an officer. ItnoW appears
that there are altogether four such
deeds of trust, each for $4,000 Three
of them are evidently forgeries with
the deputy recorders signature, the
notary public's name and seal and the
recorders seal all forged. 1t is re,
ported that the holders of these
mortgages are the Cairo National
Bank, Missouri State Life Insurance
Company of St. Louis, @. w. Mason
of st. Louis and E. E. Kimel of Hot
Springs. 1t is not known which one
holds the genuine deed of trust.

Obituary.

At "a. M. last Thursday morning,
November 20, one of the Oldest Cor
the oldest) residents of Iron County,
Mrs. Johanna Peetz, nee Poepel, died
at the home of her daughter, Mrs,
Jacob Baltisser, in Pilot Knob. She
reached the ripe age of 98 years and
"a days, an age that not many mortals
of the present day attain.
Mrs. Peetz was born on the 9th
day of October, 1921, in Seesen- am
Harz, Duchy of Brunswick, Germany.
On the 28th day of October, 1846, she
was united in holy matrimony with
Heinrich Peetz who preceded his wife
into eternity on the 7th day of May,
1892. Thus they we're permitted to
live together nearly 46 years. This
union was blessed with eight children,
four sons and four daughters. Six OF
these children also preceded their
good mother into eternity. Only two
remain to mourn the loss of devoted
mother: Fritz Peetz of st. Louis,
Mo-, and Anna (Mrs. Jacob Baltisser)
who took care Of her aged mother to
the end. The descendants of Grand
mother Peetz are numerous. The
bereaved, include: 20 grandchildren
46 great grandchildren, and great
great grandchildren.
The experiences, the joys and the
trials of Mrs. Peetz's long life were
many. An account of them would
easily fill volume. In the year 1856
Mr.. and Mrs. Peetz immigrated to the
United States. They Immediately
came to the State of Missouri ant
having lived at various places at frs
they finally settled at Pilot Knot
where the deceased spent almost q
years of her life. Mrs Peetz's rem

and of the early days in Americi
we're very interesting. In her declin
ing years she loved to narrate them
She often spoke of the tedious tril

Mr.. Lodges Triumph?

The Lodge treaty of notification
has been killed, the treaty of Versailles
still lives, though passion and par
tisanship and the spirit of revenge
have prevented, for this session of
Congress at least, its ratification and
acceptance by the United States, says
the New York Times, commenting on
the action taken by the Senate. 1t
will be put into effect by the other
'signatories, leaving this country with
out its benefits, standing before the
world as the one nation that refuses
to sanction measures for the pre-
vention of war. We shall not long
remain in that shameful position.
The treaty must be called into exist
ence, the United States must join the
other nations in sanctioning the
agreement reached at Versailles, in
the League for peace.
AS the hour for nullifying the
Presidents work approached the
splendid discipline of the Republican
party asserted itself. The scrhples
and compunctions of the "mild reser-
vationists' gave way, they put them
selves altogether under the leader
ship of Mr.. Lodge. The Senator'S of
the "battalion of death" did not
desert their party when they voted,
thirteen of them, against the Lodge
resolution and reservations. They
voted to destroy the treaty, and that
is precisely what the thirty five
Republicans who supported Mr..
Lodges treaty voted for. Forty two
Democrats, Mr.. Hitchcock's entire
band of loyal supporters, voted as
the President desired, "against the
Lodge resolution of notification, !"
hoping in that way to prepare the
way for saving the Versailles treaty.
The country will not for an instant
be in doubt as to the responsibility,
Who has supported the treaty of Ver-
sailles from the moment of it's sub
mission to the Senate, who has toiled
and strlven for its ratification? Who
has opposed ratification, who has
piled Ossas and Pelions of obstruc-
tion across its pathway, who has en-
grated upon it reservations that blast
and destroy it? When we say who
we mean which party. An observing
people will Judge, has judged.
1t has been work of blind partisan
recklessness, done in callous disre-
gard of the need and the suffering oi
nations and of millions of men who
will have to bear their burdens unre-
lieved until, with the establishment
of conditions of peace, works oi
mercy and upbuilding can be under
taken. 1t is fearful responsibility
that the enemies of the treaty and o.
peace have taken upon themselves.

Mrs. PeetZ was respected by all
with whom she came in contact.
She was quiet Christian woman.
She was known far and wide for her
piety industry. She became mem
ber of the Lutheran church in the
land OF her birth. She was one of the
charter members of the Lutheran
congregation at Pilot Knob. The
word of God, the Gospel Of Christ
Jesus, her Savior and Redeemer, was
precious to her. She humbled herself
before the almighty God, and God
exalted her in due time. The Lord
had granted her many joys during
her long life and had protected and
preserved her in many times of dan
ger and trouble. Impressed with the
Justice, goodness and faithfulness of
God, which she had experienced dur
ing the SO years of her life, and in
structed by the word of God from the
days of her youth, she humbly con-
fessed her sinfulness. She knew full
we'll that she had not deserved the
| goodness and mercy of God which
had followed her all the days of her
life. But already as little child she
had learnt to know her Savior Jesus
Christ who died on the Gross to save
sinners from the deserved punish
ment. And 1t was in firm faith in the
Crucified Redeemer that she finally
fell asleep.
The undersigned, who had often
sat at her bedside, preached the fun

Surrounded by friends, we are lone
some,
In midst of pleasures we are blue,
A smile on my face, still heartache,
Aching and longing for you.
In his lonely grave he's sleeping,
As the sadows onw ard fall,
And our lonely hearts are weeping,
No more his presence we can call.
Do not ask If we miss him,
0, there's such vacant place,
Oft we think we hear his footsteps,
Oft we see his smiling face.
Not gone from memory,
Not gone from love,
But gone to fatherly home above.
Sadly missed by father, mother, sis
ters and brother.
