D0TEs ON FRIDAY, 10

Instead of holding terror for him,
Mrs. M. C. Murphy, assistant MANA
ger of the w. F. Higgins furniture
company, just dotes upon the date,
Friday the 18th, and has reason for
so doing, since he asserts it is his
lucky day.
While he was partaking of a sump-
tuous dinner Friday he was appraised
of the fact that it was his birthday.
Mr.. Murphy, who has been enjoying
good health most his life of 81 years.
stated this was another "happy day."
for he had noticed that since he had
lived to see this date each year, he
has lived througout the following
years, and thus he is not whit SUI
perstitious. He came nearly forget
ting, however, that the occasion was
his birthday anniversary.

NO PROHIBITION IN
THE VIRGIN ISLANDS

San Juan, 2. e., August 16-Prob-
ably the only place under the Amer
lean flag where prohibition is not now
in force. is. in the Virgin Islands where
until Congress enacts new laws the
old Danish laws remain in force
The colonial council Of st. Croix
has just passed a bill repeating for
mer local leg islation for that island
which provided for local prohibition
until specified period after the end
ing of the war. Similar legislation is
pending in the colonial council for the
islands of ST. Thomas and ST. John.
The treaty of sale by which the is
lands were transferred from Dem
mark to the United States provided
that Laws in force at the time of the
transfer should remain in full force
and effect until Congress enacted spe-
cial Legislation for the islands. This
has not yet been done. In the mean
time the constitution of the United
States, in all Of its provisions, is not
to the islands and the 18th
has no meaning there.

School Book Change
VIII Be Announced Soon

A decision regarding the change
in school books for the schools of
Madison county is anticipated at
any time. and the information will
soon be sent to the county super
intendents from the state offices.
1t is the belief that the contract
which called forthe exchange of
books some time ago will be made
good. since it was the inability of
publishers to provide the new
books in time for the change to
be made on schedule time. and.
that there will be 4 rebate obtain
able on the old books returned in
exchange for new ones.
This important item has been
attracting the attention of school
officials OF the state for some time
and they have been working in an
effort to procure the contract
calling for the rebate.

CAUSE OF THE WAR

The Polish-Russian war is fast ap-
preaching the second year of organ
lied fighting. 1t began with the dis
satisfaction of the Polish nationalists
with the administrative frontiers
set by the Allies, more or less along
the old Russian province line.
The Poles began a war Of aggres-
sion upon the plea that the boundary
lines fixed by the Allies excluded va
rious Polish. agglomerations and left
Warsaw at the mercy of Russia I'm
checked the Poles swept on to the
Ukraine and part of White Russia in
a desire to form buffer states under
the influence of Poland.
The Polish Ukrainian forces cap
tured Kieff in May of this year, af-
ter bitter struggle with what was
described in dispatches as a disorgan-
lied Russian army. The Poles offer
ed terms of peace two months previ-
Ously to Lenine, among which was the
demand that he recognize the bounda-
ry of Poland as it existed before the
first partition.
The answer of the Reds was the
of well trained troops and
the launching of a gigantic military
campaign which swept the Poles out
of the conquered territory. The end
of the drive finds the Russians men
acing Warsaw, with hordes of Rus
sian cavalry no more than ten. miles
from the German frontier.
