 (Tune of "Smiles"-at the dog 0rdi-
 nance)
 There are dogs that howl at night
 time, There are dogs that bark all day; There are dogs that fight and bite each
 other, There are dogs that run around and play; There are dogs in every alley, There are dogs in every door; Yet they've told us often in Cordova That the street dog shall be no more! There are dogs that set you crazy, There are dogs that drive you wild; Everywhere these dogs you sidestep, Every day they scare your child; They are big and sometimes mangy, They are small and vicious, too; They're the darndest nuisance in cre-
 ation- Ten times worse than the deadly flu! There are dogs upon the sidewalk, There are dogs upon the street; There are dogs galore upon each cor
 ner- Everywhere you go these dogs you'll
 meet; There are dogs and dogs and more
 dogs; Day and night they're barking round. But the dog unheard of in Cordova Is the dog that gets into pound! A. D. M. (Which might mean Alaska Dog Musher).

vent Special Police From
Arresting Negro.

Bogalusa. La, Nov. 22.-Three
| white men we're killed and two
wounded in a pitched battle at a
garage in which a small band of
men attempted to prevent special
police deputies from arresting a
negro labor leader suspected of in
citing negroes. and two white men
who had carried shotguns to pro-
tect him while parading him down
the main street of the city.
The dead are l.. E. Williams, presl-
dent of the allied Trades council
of BogaIusa and owner of the
garage; ]. P. Bouchillon and Thomas
Gaines, carpenters. They were shot
by the officers.
The wounded are:

blanc, a special policeman and a
former army captain.
Saul Dechus, the negro, who is

thinking the dead girl was Hazel
that she was friendly with a young

Mrs. c. E. Cooley, 1920 Avenue B,
Council Bluffs, viewed the body fear

Grace Boutwell,, who disappeared

Miss Ballard Active.
Instead of interest dying out yes
terday on account of general ac-
ceptance of the theory that the girl
was brought to the ravine near CAL
houn from long distance, it was
heightened by the renewed activity
of the officials, who announced de-
termination to get to the bottom Of
the mystery.
In line with this decision Miss
Grace Ballard, county attorney for
Washington county, who has taken
into her personal charge the direc-
ton Of the investigation and running
down of the murderer, gave orders
that the body should be held until
the last possible moment in antici-
patton of identification.

In pursuance of her investigation
Miss Ballard went to Calhoun yes

where she has her Office packed up
the clothing of the dead girl. down

She was in Omaha for several hours.
While in the city Miss Ballard did
not call upon the police or the forces
of the sheriff, according to reports
from both departments, pursuing her
investigation alone.
Visitors at Calhoun.
Throughout the day automobiles
filled the roads leading to Calhoun
from all directions. A dozen or
more went out from Omaha, three
containing parties who thought they
might identity the girl.
One of these included the cashier
of the Hotel Rome restaurant, the
cigar stand girl at the Carlton, and
a chauffeur employed by Manager
Forman of the Blue Taxi Co., who
thought they had recognized the
girl from a photo.
Mysterious Young Man.
Another was a mysterious young
man who refused to give. his name
or address, but who appeared con-
siderably perturbed and anxious as
he approached William Sievers, the
undertaken. and requested view OF
the body.
Following his examination the
young man said that the girl was
not the one he thought he might
find. and explained that he did not
wish to give his name as he was
representing a man who thought the
girl might be one of his employees.
Mr.. Sievers corroborated the
statement of the young man, saying
that when he caught one glimpse OF
the body he exclaimed:
That's not the girl"
Others came from the country dis
tricts around to view the body, but
all failed to recognize her

ALCOHOL COMES
T0sF0RECROUND
AS POTENT FUEL
Worlds Annual Consumption
OF Coal and Oil Brings
End of Supply in
Sight.

Washington, Nov. q. = "No
sooner had King Alcohol gone on,
of the back door as beverage than
he enters the front door in triumph
as fuel.
THAT, at least seems a reasonable
Interpretation of recent expert utter.
ances on the subject, including the
pronouncement of numehr OF
world famous chemists who at
tended scientific congress recently
in New York City" says a bulletin
from the Washington headquarters
of the National Geographic society.
Why Mother Necessity is giving
birth to this new brain-child of in
vention is related in a communica-
ton to the society by DR.. Alexander
Graham Bell, as follows:
There is one obstacle to further
advance in mechanical develop
ment, in the increasing price of the
fuel necessary to work. machinery.
Coal and oil are going up and are
strictly limited in quantity. We can
take coal out of a mine, but we can
never put it back. We can draw oil
from subterranean reservoirs, but
we can never refill them. We are
spendthrifts in the matter of fuel
and we are using our capital for our
running expenses.
"In relation to coal and oil, the
worlds annual consumption has be-
come so enormous that we are now
actually within measurable distance
of the end of the supply. What
shall we do when we have no more
coal or oil.
apart from water power (Which
is strictly 1imited) and tidal wave
power (Which we have not yet
learned to utilize and the employ
ment of the suns rays directly as a
source of power, we have little left,
excepting wood, and it takes at least
Is years to grow a crop of trees.
Alcohol Only Solution.
"There is, however, one other
source Of fuel supply which may
perhaps solve this problem of the
future. Alcohol makes a beautiful,
clean, and efficient fuel, and, where
not intended for consumption by
human beings, can be manufactured
very cheaply in an indigestible or
even poisonous form. Wood alcohol,
for example, can be employed as a
fuel, and we can make alcohol from
sawdust, a waste product of our
mills,
alcohol can also be manufac-
tured from cornstalks, and in fact
from almost any vegetable matter
capable of fermentation. Our grow
ing crops and even weeds can be
used. The waste products of Our
farms are available for this purpose
and even the garbage from our
cities. We need never fear the OK
faustion of our present fuel sup
plies SO long as we can produce an
annual crop of alcohol to any. ex-
tent desired.
THE world will probably depend
upon alcohol more and more as time
goes on, and great field of use
fu1ness is opening for the engineer
who will modify our machinery to
enable alcohol to be used as the
source OF power"
