MAIL. CARRIER HAS NO HANDS
Despite His Handicap Man VINO
Covers Rural Route In Iowa
Is Efficient.

Rock Rapids, Ia.-Thomas X. Cush-
man is Lyon countys Oldest rural mail
carrier-oldest, that is, in years OF
service only, for in spirit there Is no
younger man anywhere. No matter
what may be the weather or the con-
dition of the ros1s, patrons are as
sured of getting their mail.
All this is true In spite of the fact
that Cushman is physically handl-
capped to an extent that would dis
courage most persons. AS a boy OF
ii he got caught in the historic biz
card of January II, 1888, and was SO
badly frozen that he had to submit 10
the amputation of both hands.
But the loss of hand or two meant
little or nothing to him. In addition TO
being a mail carrier he is farmer on
a small scale.
Tommie gets up early every morning
to carry a long mail route, and ne
works until late every night supplying
customers on an evening milk route.
In spite of his lack of hands he can
do practically everything that the aver
age able-bodied' man can do.

BIRTH OF A NATION

In response to numerous and urg-
ent requests, D. W. Griffitt's "The
Birth of Nation" which scored here
the greatest triumph theatrical at
traction has ever achieved, has been
booked for a return engagement at
the Palace Theatre for two days be-
ginning next Thursday.
David d. Griffith, whose fame has
now girdled the globe, chose for the
theme Of his great spectacle the tur-
MOL and travail of over fifty years
ago, out of which a new and united
nation was born. A Southerner him
self, the son of General Thunder
Jake" Griffith of the Confederate
Army, Griffith knows the heart of
the South. Through his wonderful
pictorial story of what the South suf-
fered he has brought out the brother
hood of the North and has done more
to cement tie friendship of the two
sections than all the books that have
been written. Editorials in Northern
newspapers say that he has forever
wiped out Mason and Dixon's line.
In order to do his work conscien-
tiously, Griffith employed a whole
corps of history experts to ransack
thousands of printed volumes, pam
ohlets, bound files of old newspapers
md manuscripts. From their re-
searches he built up his scenario.
Not one of the historical incidents
shown on the screen can be success
sfully disputed. He is a teacher of
historical truths, but he never be-
comes tiresome in the telling. Dis

BREAD S. IN MOSCOW

Refugee Paints Gloomy Picture Of
Conditions in City Under Boil
sheVik Rule.

Misunderstanding of the magnifi-
cent monuments of Moscow, commence
rative of emperors and statesmen, have
been destroyed, says a refugee from
that city.
Museums, libraries and picture gall
leries have been reQuisitioned and
their contents removed. The best gov
eminent and private buildings have
been occupied by the soldiers and
workmen's councils.
Military headquarters were located
in the Kremlin when the refugee left
Moscow. Hostages had been taken
from many members of the bourgeoisie
and many executions had occurred.
The city was subdivided into districts
Under supervision Of commissions, in
a campaign against counter-revolu-
ton.
Krylenko was state prosecutor,
Kameneff administrator of the city.
A common soldier, Muratoff, was COM
mander of the garrison. There was no
municipal Cuma.
Street cars operated without regu-
larity. Cab drivers charged 20 to 40
rubles $50 to 500 for the shortest
trips.
There is no regular food supply. The
inhabitants depended upon products
brought/in from day to day from the
country. A pound of bread cost SIS;
meat, 50; sugar, $40; potatoes $25 a
pood (36 pounds. .
The population was divided into
four classes. Each person was enti-
tied to one-half to one pound of bread
every other day.
The Muscovltes were fleeing to Uk-
rainia. Over 100000 persons already
had gone there. the refugee said.
Many houses of the erstwhile well-te-
do were occupied by workingmen. One
hundred and sixty-one factories and
mills had closed and emptied. There
was no coal, no coal oil, no machinery
nor machine parts, no engineers and
few laborers.
Practically oil printers were out Of
employment since the soviet organs
were the only newspapers published.
Editors and STATS Of all the big pub
LEGATIONS had long since left the city.

BIG REUNION AT BLOCK HOUSE

The many descendants of old uncle
Elijah James gathered at his home
on Sunday April 20, to celebrate the
80th anniversary of his birth, which
occurred on the Saturday previous.
He was born April 10, 1889 near
cambridge, Tenn, and was married
to Dorcas Clemmons on Sept. 6, 1860
at Peck's Chapel, near this place.
To them were born seven children,
two girls and five boys. The girls
are Martha Jane, now Mrs. Elvin
Thompson of Philadelphia, Pa, and
Mary, now Mrs. j. A. White, of this
place. The boys are: w. L., Sam H.,
John, NJ. A. and T. F., all of this
place. There are 81 grand children
and Sc great grand children, making
a total of exactly 100 direct descend
ents being scattered from Tennessee
to New York and as far west as
California. Besides grand sons-in-
law and daughters-in-law. However
all of this crowd was not present.
There were 83 present and a sump-
tious dinner was spread upon the
lawn and everyone seemed to enjoy
themselves.
A lot of good singers in the crowd
furnished some splendid music which
greatly pleased the old folks.
All enjoyed themselves till a late
hour in the the afternoon when they
began to seperate for their homes.
The oldest grand-child is Homer
Thompson of New York, who is Sc
years old and the youngest grand
child is little Miss Clara James, who
is three months old. The Oldest
great grand child is Miss Mamie
Chandler of Concord, Tenn, and the
youngest is little Miss Margaret
Parker of this place. Perhaps there
are few old folks both still living and
IN reasonably good health who can
boast of 100 linial descendants.

titled in the alembic of his magma
ton history takes on the aspect of
romance with all of it's fascination.
Those who have seen 1.-The Birth
of Nation" no more wonder that it
cost 100000 to produce. They
only marvel that it did not cost more.
Take the battle of Petersburg, for
instance. The reproduction of that
alone cost a small fortune. Then the
burning of Atlanta and reproduction
in replica of Ford's Theatre, Wash
ing and of the legislative hall in
South Carolina, all cost large sums.
"The Birth of Nation" is the art

and no one can afford to miss seeing
its wonders.

BIG CROWD WAS
HERE SATURDAY

One of the largest crowds ever as
sembled in Maryville was here Satur-
day to attend the reception to the
soldier boys. However, only about
one fourth or less of the number OF
soldiers that was expected attended,
and friends and relatives had to be
called in to help lay away the dinner
that had been prepared. The day was
spent in parading, speechmaking,
eating, and watching the tank demon
stration, and a ball game at the col
lege grounds.
The soldier boys expressed them
selves as favoring a hospital as the
monument to be erected to their
memory.

For a long time the names of
Croesus. Crassus and Monte Crlsto
were used in comparison to express
great wealth. The two first historical
figures represented riches In Greece
and Rome and the fictitious figure Of
the latter did the same for recent
times. How rich Croesus was there
Is no way Of judging The value of the
treasure which he displayed TO Scion
cannot be estimated. a saying ascribed
to Crassus gives at least some idea
Of what he considered aff'uence. He
declared that no one could he cOnsid-
cred rich who could not maintain an
army. This. Of course. would he a
great undertaking even at that period.
though an army then was not in size
anything like an army OF To-Day, nor
was the equipment or suStenAnce near

The question which came up. how
ever. was in regard to the financial
resources Of Monte Cristo. Nowhere IN
