IN BROAD DAYLIGHT

KNOXVILLE, June 1S.-The theft
of wagon load of expensive furnl-
.ure in broad daylight, with scores
If eye-Witnesses about, but ignorant
that theft was being committed, In
brief, are the details of one OF the
most daring robbel'as that has re
Gently come to the attention Of the
police. In connection with the bur
glary detectives are looking for three
men, whose descriptions they say they
have been unable to obtain and who
are believed to be guilty of having
entered the warehouse of the j. F.
Walker Furniture company, on Asy-
um avenue, and of having taken a
wagon load of household furnishings
therefrom.
The robbery occurred several days
ago, according to reports made to the
authorities, but did not become known
even to the proprietor of the COM
pany until a hasty invoice revealed
that furniture valued at between $500
and $1,000 had disappeared. The
matter was reported to authorities,
the case placed in the hands of Chief
of Detectives O'Conner and Detec-
tive Mike Cross, with the result that

Daylight Saving
Law Is Doomed

WASHINGTON, June 18.-Doom
of the daylight savings inaugurated
as war measure was pronounced to-
day by congress, both senate and
house adopting by overwhelming
votes measures to terminate opera
tion of the law when the period of
summer time ends next October &c.
The house, following three hours
debate, by vote of 233 to 1872, pass
ed bill to repeal the law on the last
Sunday in next October but rejected
an amendment to make the repeal eff
fective at once.
The senate by a vote of Sc to g.
after brief discussion added rider to
the agricultural appropriation bill
providing for repeal of the daylight
measure on the same date fixed by
the house bill.
The senate measure now goes to
conference with the agricultural bill,
and the house bill is to be sent to the
senate, 1t is considered likely that
senate amendment will be finally sub
stituted for The house measures. Ac-
ton of congress therefore means con
tinuation of the present clock time
this summer and early fall with re-
turn to sun time October &c, ending
two years operation of the daylight
saving plan.

The Trouble Is In the Blood.

Summer catarrh, with its nause-
Gus discharge. stuffed up glands,
difficult breathing. and summer
colds, is bad enough, but the worst
of it is yet to come if you neglect
to check the growth that is form
ing to attack you with ten-fold
greater power during the winter.
That's why it is so important to
treat catarrhs and other blood dis
orders with S. S. S. during warm
weather, and thus free the system

BILLS ARE KILLED THRU F|L|BUSTER
Important Measures Fail of Passage as Congress Sherman Held Floor Three Heurs-The
 Wheat Bill Passed.

Washington, March 4.-Congress adjourned at noon today in the midst of Republican filibuster in the sen- ate that killed long list of import ant measures.
 Among the bills that failed was the appropriation for the railroad ad- ministration. The spokesmen for the administration declared that the fail ure of this measure to pass necessar- fly would mean the almost immediate return of the railroads to their own CTS, because the government can not retain and finance them without the appropriation.
 There was no turning back of clocks. The Democratic leaders real ized the situation was hopeless, and the gavels ending the long, great war session of the Sixty-ffth con- gress actually tapped at the noon hour.
 Just before the adjournment of con- gress, President Wilson authorized a final notice to the Republicans that their efforts to force an immediate extra session had failed; that he was unshaken in his determination not to call an extra session of congress until his work at the peace congress is done
 The adjournment today marks the passing of Democratic control at the capital, as the Republicans will be in the majority in the next congress.
 The big bills that failed of passage include both the army and navy ap- propriation bills, the only two import ant measures that ran the gauntlet of the last forty-eight hours of filibus- tering being the Liberty Loan bill and the s1,000.O00,000 wheat guaran- tee bills.

Lodges Resolution.

Washington, March 4-Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican leader, brought the long senate debate on the League of Nations to a eli max last night with the introduction of resolution proposing that the sen ate record itself against the accept ance of the leaque's constitution as it is now drawn.
 He read to the senate the names of 37 members of the new senate, which will pass on the peace treaty, who, he said, had signed or approved the res. olution.
 The Republican leaders decided to make no further attempt to get ac- tion on Senator Lodges resolution to record the senate against the consti- tuition of the League of Nations, as now drawn, and as counter measure, Senator Lewis of Illinois, the Demo cratic whip, prepared resolution proposing that the senate approve all proper efforts of the president to eff. feet the League of peace.

A BLAST wITH A BITE.
In the Early Hours of Morning Came
 Sharpest of Winds.

The Weather Bureau was caught asleep at the post by the young bliz- gard that drove down from the north west, all unannouneed, early Friday morning. Just how it came over or twisted around thru the hills is un- explained, but it arrived.
 The first notice came in a gust of hard driven rain, that about 4 o'clock rattled against the windows almost like sleet. At 6 a, m. the windows still were rattling, and there was nothing in the sounds to tempt folks from warm beds At 2 a. m the thermometer registered 19, an hour later IT, and dropped to 16 before the upturn, which took it to 32 at 1 o'clock, and from that on the south west wind was almost balmy.
 And, speaking of the slips of the Weather Bureau-the forecast Friday called for cold wave probably re- ferring to the one that got in ahead of time.

WHAT BAD ROADS COST.
A Farmer Tells Own Experience and
 Then Sees Other Side.


 Burt G. Smith, farmer living just beyond Egger and less than twenty miles from Mena, was in town this week, the first time this year because before then there has been no time when he could come and bring load particularly his cotton.
 Along about Christmas time he could have sold readily at S3 cents a pound, but could not get it over the roads. Tuesday he, having extra clean cotton, received 23 cents a straight loss of near $50, or enough, he figures, to almost pay his share of rock road from Egger to Mena.
 Further, MT. Smith says there are not less than 100 farmers living in the territory adjacent to him who would have spent an average of $100 each with Mena merchants the past three months if they had been able to reach the city with reasonable ef- fort--a loss in commerce of not less than $10,000.
 Mir Smith is a believer of keeping the rocks in the roads. He says that he has seen roads where the rocks were thrown out annually for years, and recites the instance of neigh bor, Charles Miller, who, some 25 years ago built a piece of road in front of his farm-throwing rocks in the road. That piece, he declares, is almost as good today as quarter century ago, and at either end the wagons drop down to the axles in ruts and mud.

REPORT ON ARMENIAN
 SYRIAN RELIEF FUND

On account of the failure of some places to make reports and of others to make final reports we are yet 'un- able to publish final report of the donations by the people of Polk cOun- ty to the fund for the relief of the sufferers in the Near East, but we know that we have raised our quota.
 Our treasurer has sent $500 to Moorehead Wright, the state treas urer of the funds, and some small amounts were sent by several Sunday schools direct to the New York office.
 A complete report will be published in one week, and we hope that no place will be in arrears. Since the last report Hatfield has sent S34.40, making a total of $150 for that place that has never yet failed to meet all demands upon the people there for patriotic or charita- ble purposes.
 J. R. Connally, the chairman for Cedar township, failed to receive mo- tice that he had been appointed until Friday, and went to prayer meeting at Alder Springs Sunday night and in ten minutes collected more than the quota for his township.
 Dr. F. A. Lee sends personally $5 to be aided to Vandervoort's quota. John Harkey remits S6 to the credit of Hatton.
 The members of the committees turnout the county are busy men and those who have given this worthy cause their attention deserve much credit. We do not believe that those who have neglected the matter have ignored it, but that we will hear from them later.
 Watch for the final report and see what communities have responded most generously for the relief of starving humanity.
