The wheels of commerce and ev-

called upon to bear the burdens and
the inconvenience as well as the ex-
pense incident to the differences that
have arisen between the mine own
ers and those who dig the coal out
of the ground. In order that thou

BIGGEST YALOBUSHA RIVER
FOR THIRTY YEARS
Rains Unusual For the Fall. The
Weather Man Somewhat Like the
Country. Much Damage 70 Farms
and Crops.

The weather man this fall has
seemed to have imbihed the spirit of
the whole country in trying TO sur
pass any former record for doing
the unexpected, the thing that would
come the nearest throwing all the
harness out of gear and putting a
monkey wrench in the machinery in
general. Twice within the past
thirty days the Yalobusha river has
been out of its banks and the over
flow has submerged much of the low
lands in cultivation adjacent to the
stream. The rain the latter part Of
last week, and particularly Thursday
night ard Friday morning. came in
such torrents that all the creeks in
nearby territory were filed and the
water in the river came up so rap
idly that its rise could almost be
measured with the naked eve. The
rise continued until the river reach
ed stage of overflow that it has not
reached since 1892. At this writ
ing, Wednesday night, the water has
begun to recede. 1t would be diff
cult to measure the damage done to
ungathered crops of this County
certainly the big rain followed by the
big overflow has cost the County not
less than 100000. The river caught
quite deal of cotton still in the
fields and on many farms cotton in
houses and pens was submerged. Be
sides the loss of crops, much DAM
age has been done to the highways
bridges have been disturbed, dumps
partially washed away and other kin
dred things evidence the work of the
rain and the overflow. In passing
it is we'll to mediate over the propo-
sition as to whether or not it. would
be good business to spend a few hun
dred thousand dollars on drainage.
thereby making the overflow of thl
Yalobusha river almost an imposy'.

The fall has been one of unusua.s
as regards the weather. NotWith-
standing recurring rains and wet

from bad to worse until the end
came.
P. S. lrby was true to his ideals
and lived the life of the honest man

of years ago, he united with the
Methodist church and was steadfast
in his church devotion and in his
Christian living. He was a loving

The American Spirit Bigger Than
All

When all has been said, it will be shown
that are not far apart the subject
OF the League of Nations. There are Demo
Gratis sustaining the administration. and Dem
ocrats on the other side. and there are Re
pUbiicans unfolding the president, and Repub-
licans Of contrary views, many of them riding
partisan hobbies, but way down deep in the
hearts of all true Observation-Disclosures and
Republicans .alike-is the desire for perma-
nent peace. For we are a peace loving nation,
slow to wrath, but all powerful when aroused.
The only class of people who thrive on war,
are the munition makers, and peace is no OBJ
iect to them. They never sleep, and are Of
potential influence in Washington. They are
ously antagonistic to the administration be-
the administration is making a deter
mined stand for real peace.
Yet, there is Senator Lodge persistent as
he is in first determining what the presidents
position on a subject is, then taking the oppo-
site view, who can't help admitting that he
wants peace.

Tie Hygenic Heating System.
What kind of a heating system
would you recommend for a small
frame house? We are building and
we have several young children. Is
hot air, hot water or 3ceam heating
best? Or. b
ANSWER-Hot air IS best, IN
my opinion, provided tNe intake
comes from outside. Furnaces
which receive air from inside the
cellar are not hysienic, in my opin-
ion. Hot air heating works best
when there is good ventilation,
whereas hot water or steam heat
ing is most satisfactory when ven
tilation is not free. This applies
10 the small dwelling. Hot air
heating does not suffice for large
buildings, and hygenicalIy I know
of no preference between hot water
and steam for heating such build
ings.

Are Women Naturally Weak!
Carefully conducted ezamina-
tons and tests of a large number
of college girls under the medi-
cal supervision of DR.. Celia
Mosher demonstrated that the
popular fancy that women are not
so strong physically as men is
unfounded. Women are just as
strong as men Of about the same
stature and age.
How, then, are gossips to recon-
cile their ancient theories with the
facts of modern life? Why should
not a young woman continue her
regular daily routine of exercise.

she is a woman?
