CONGRESS BUSHES PLANS.

A spectacular reception will be &C
corded Gen. John j. Pershing, com

or 10. Many high officials of the army
are expected to welcome the com
mander of the American forces in
France when he reaches the metrop-
oils early this week.
Chairman Kahn, of the house mill
tary committee, has prepared a reso-
luton asking for special joint SEES
sion of congress on Sept. Is to well
come Gen. Pershing, and has asked
the appointment of a committee OF
five senators and seven representa-
tives to make arrangements for the
reception. If Chairman Kahn's plans
are carried out the general will be
given gold sword as an apprecla-
ton of his service.
Big Parades to Be Held.

Plans also are being considered &c

Pershing the rank of full general fol

TAKE 1T OFF
Dig Up Your Old Felt Hat or Buy
a New One, as Straws Are Out
of Date Now.

The straw hat season has Off
cially closed. Anyone wearing a
straw kelly now is not in style,
according to authorities.
Just why the straw hat season
should end with the advent of
September is a mystery as puz-
cling and ancient as the sphinx.
The custom of discarding the
straw species of headgear prob
ably originated during the days
of Pompeii, when the vol
canoes in the vicinity were in the
habit of becoming active about
this time of the year, and the
people in order to take proper
precautions against falling lava
and cinders substituted felt for
straw to protect their craniums,
it is said.

ATLANTA Is STILL WET,
WITH BOOZE PLENTIFUL
DESPITE VIGILANCE OF REEVE
NUE. OFFICERS ILLICIT DIS
FILLING is ON INCREASE.

ATLANTA. Ga.-The ancient and
reverred art of moonshining, popu-
larly supposed to be confined to the
mountain districts, and somehow in
stinctively linked in the minds of the
average Georgian with wild running
streams and rocky cliffs, is becoming
general, according to revenue officers
in Atlanta. 1t is claimed that the IL
licit traffic has grown considerably
during the past few months.
AS a matter Of fact, the sale of
whisky in Atlanta is said to be enor-
nous. Competition in Atlanta, say
those who seem to know, has caused
the price to drop from 81 to So a
pint. And Furthermore, as has been
pointed out, most of it distilled right
in the heart of the city, where there
is running water and high chimneys
to carry off the fumes.
The Atlanta whisky is really rum.
1t is made from pure sugar or Cuban
molasses and resembles in everything
except color the famed rum of Cen
trail America and the Indies. The su-
gar shortage is the only known factor
which distillers fear.
There are said to be dozen or
more men in Atlanta who are indie
pendently rich from their earnings
on "home-made" booze. Revenue Of
ficers and city detectives seem unable
to stop the Atlanta distillers, al
though they are constantly making
raids and running down the offend

TWO MORE STATES TURN
DOWN WILSON'S APPEAL
Alabama and Virginia Join Georgia
in Rejecting Susan Anthony Wo-
mans Suffrage Amendment.

RICHMOND, Va.-After one OF
the hottest parliamentary fights in
the history of the Virginia senate
that body at midnight refused to re-
consider the vote by which it had in
the afternoon decided to postpone in
definitely consideration of the reso-
luton declaring the Susan B. An
thony amendment to be an undemo-
cratic interference with rights re-
served to the states.
Just as the fight had begun to rage
in the upper house the house of del
egates, without debate, passed the
same resolution. Practically every
parliamentary procedure was invok-
ed in an effort to stem the tide for a
slap at the amendment.

new COMETS ARE
BRIGHTEST JUST NOW
BUT FULL MOON IN SKIES AT
SAME TIME PREVENTS GOOD
OBSERVATION WITH GLASS.

After long interval in which no
new comet was discovered, the month
of August brought the discovery of
two by the same person and each
fairly bright. They are the first to
be discovered this year.
Both of the new comets were dis
covered by the Rev. J. H. Metcalf, of
Winchester, Mass, while upon his va
cation at South Hero, Vt. Mr.. Met
calf is actively engaged as clergy
man, but devotes much of his spare
time to astronomical observation. He
is well known to astronomers by rea-
son of his excellent work as an as
tronomer, particularly in the discov-
cry of asteroids. He has discovered
seven comets.
The first of the new comets was
discovered on August 20 at midnight.
1t was then just west of the Square
of Pegasus. The comet, however, has
moved very rapidly, and on Septem-
Der 1 was in the southern part of the
constellation of Cepheus. 1t passed
quite close to the celestial pole on
September 6. At present the path
has not been accurately predicted af-
ter that time. The comet will be in
fairly good position in the early eve
ming for the first half of the month.
On September 9th the comet was
four times as bright as when discov-
cred The very rapid motion of the
comet across the sky would indicate
that the comet is near the earth, and
this is found to be the case. 1t is
found that it will be closest to the
earth about the 9th of September,
and at that time will be about as
close to us as this comet could be un-
der the most favorable circumstances.
The path of the comet crosses that
of the earth much as the elevated
crosses a surface line. Both bodies
will reach the crossing at nearly the
same time, about September 9th, the
comet on the upper (northward)
track and the earth on the lower.
The comets path lies about 17,000,-
OO0 miles above the earth's, due to
the twenty degrees of inclination of
its orbit.
1t is probably but small comet
detected because of the favorable cir
cumstances. After its closest APP
proach to the earth it will move to-
ward the sun and be lost in the sun
light and probably never be seen
again. 1t will be closest to the sun
on October 18th, and will then be
about half as far from the sun as the
earth. 1t is described as visible in
opera glasses or small telescope. AS
the moon is full when the comet is
best, it is doubtful if it is conspicu-
Gus at any time.
Metcalf's second comet was discov-
cred on August %. 1t was also in
discovered by Borelly in
France the next day This comet was
located in Bootes about seven de-
grees directly north of the bright
star Arcturus Observation shows that
it is moving southeastward about
half a degree per day. This comet is
also described as visible in opera
glasses or a small telescope. Observa-
ton on August % showed it to be
faint, but the conditions were poor.
The moon will also blot out this
comet. Whether it will become bright
err or not connot be said yet.

It IS an established fact that the
fairs held in Drew county for the
past few years are far superior to
the average ounty fairs. The e&-
hibits in agriculture have b en- ii
exceptional high type. So famous
has our reputation become that the
Governor of the State has taken espe-
cial pains to have Drew represented
at the state centennial which is t. be
held at Little Rock in November.
The sun Of 100000 is required to
be deposited with the treasurer OF
the association This money is used
to pay the transportation on the ex-
hibits to and from Little Rock. The
amount left over will be put IN the
prize fund. There is no question but
that this county will bring back i
goodlY amount of this prize money.

raise the money Prof. Frank Hofs-

FORD GOES A. w. q. L,

A new Ford car belonging to Mr.,
Love Pickens was stolen last Friday
near Star CITY. The car had been
driven but few days.
Mr. and, Mrs. Pickens motored up to
Star City to the old soldiers reunion
and after spending, most enjoyable
day thew returned to the place where
the car had been parked but the car
was 10 where to be, found.
A small girl claimed to have seen &
man with two young ladies get in the
car and drive off, so Mr.. Pickens
thcapht perhaps some of his friends
had borrowed his car for a ride As
the minutes heightened. however his
patience shortened until officers
were notified.
Although the car has not been
heated Mr.. Pickens is of the opinion
that it will be but short time before
the thief viii be found.
