Snow STORMS AND PRECIPITATION,
February of 1920 left few friends when it
departed Sunday with clear skies and
balmy winter wind. March came in with
smiles and promises of better weather.
but promises have failed too often, and
even Prof. Ground Hog is now only
well advertised weather faker. February
left record snow precipitation of So in
ches, not exceeded in the past rs years.
The blizzard of Wednesday, Feb. 25th,
was bad enough, but failed to material
ize the fierceness prophesied over the
wires at noon. At no time during the
day or night was it as bad as that of the
previous Thursday. The snow fell to the
actual depth of only eight inches, but
added to the drifts, the almost impassa-
walks it seemed several feet at times.
Train and all mail service was irregular.
In some sections of the county no mail
was received from Tuesday, Feb Oath, to
Monday, March list. Train service was
again interrupted by a snow pillow leaving
the rails near Waldo Station. Doctors,
milkmen, clerks, telephone men did their
regular work and many young people
sported on snowshoes for exercise, etc.
The public schools were closed Wednes-
day and Thursday and only few pupils,
especially in the lower grades, reported
last Friday. The undertakers were I'M
able to attended to the entombing of sew
eral bodies until the country roads were
broken and shovelled out. Charles E.
Sherman went to Waldo Wednesday and
was storm stayed for some time. Main
street presents an Arctic scene with
piles of snow bordering the walks to the

send and several other photographers
have made handsome pictures, particu-
larly in the vicinity of the post office. 1t
is generally conceded that the oldest in
habitants never even dreamed of like
conditions. When Capt. A. Perry Coombs
was coming to Belfast from Camden last
Thursday in the steamer Castine he saw
large barge near FolwelPs Island flying
distress signals. He hailed the captain
and found that she had dragged her an
Choir and drifted from Fort Point during
the night. Capt. Coombs notified the
Belfast Custom House on his arrival here
and asked that aid be sent the barge. On
Monday F. P. Pendleton, who drives the
Camden stage, called at The Journal Of
flee and reported the roads on his route
in very bad condition. He was taking
down the Islestoro mail to the launch,
now running to the Island. Ice has again
floated in the bay and stopped the trips
of the small steamers.

BURGLARS AT BURGIN

Burgin, KY, Sept. 14.-Robbers
made a raid on Burgin Saturday
about 2 o'clock by breaking into the
Q. " c. depot, where about $50 was
secured; next they broke into School
fields drug store and ransacked his
safe, cash register, etc., and onl SIPS
in pennies was all in the drug store,
and this they failed to take. Then
the postoffice was broken into by
smashing out large window glass in
front, but nothing was missing, as
all the money and stamps had been
taken to the bank the afternoon be-
fore. The last place visited was the
grocery store of John L. Dunn, where
the front door was forced open when
the robbers were met by Mr.. Dunn,
who opened fire ON them with re-
volver, shooting five shots at them as
they fled and made their escape.

TOO MANY-TOO FEW

The cause of the high cost of living
and the unrest of today is because
we have too many of some things
and too few of others. We have:
TOO many sleeping porches and too
few alarm clocks.
TO many billiard cues and too few
hoe handles.
Too many apartment houses and
too few homes.
Too many silk sox and too few gray
mixed ones.
To many silk shirts and too few
blue work ones.
Too many baseball rooters and too
few farm hands.
Two many high heel shoes and too
few common sense ones.
Too many movie stars and too few

and too few Liberty Bonds.
Too many striking and too few at

Too many cussing and too few

Too many consuming and too few

DAY OF ATONEMENT
BEGINS SEPTEMBER Il

The Day Of Atonement or
"Yom Kippur," tenth day of the
month of Tishri, begins at sunset
TUESDAY, September Fl and ends
at sunset Wednesday, September
~. The thought underlying the
day is expressed in the scriptural
words: "On this day, He will
atone for you. to purify you from
all your Sins" 1t is a day, there
fore. of reconciliation of man with
his fellow-inan and with God. and
comes as climax to the holiday
season which begins Sunday, Sep
TENDER 18th, with the New Years
Day and continued through the
ten days of penitence. On New
Years Day the judgment of those
who have been neither complete
ly righteous nor utterly sinful
was left undecided and the oppor-
tunity was given them for repent
ence. The Day of Atonement
provides all men with the posi-
bility of returning to God and of
finding reconciliation with Him
through prayer.
The Day is the most solemn of
all days in the Jewish calendar. 1t
is passed in fasting and prayer.
The whole day is spent in the syn
agogue. In the evening there is
the service which commences
with the chanting of the we'll
known Kol Nidre. The day pro-
per has four services. Of these
the Mussaf, or additional service,
contains description of the
atonement rites as practiced in
the ancient days in the Temple Of
Jerusalem. The Nei1ah service
is understood to be held at the
time when decision is finally
made as to mans fate, and thus
the Neilah prayers instead of hav-
ing the usual phrase, "Inscribe us
in the book of life" use the ex-
preston, Seal us in the book of
LIFE
According to Jewish tradition
expressed in an ancient law-book
the Day of Atonement, when
spent in praying and repenting.
will bring pardon for sins be-
tween man and God, but the sins
committed by man against his
fellow-man cannot be pardoned
until he has appeased
him whom he has wronged. This
idea is based of the effort, always
made before the Day of Atone
ment, to bring peace between
friends who have become es-
tranged and are on unfriendly
pterms with one another. In this
way, the Day will put the wor-
shipper at peace not only with his
Maker, but also with his fellow
man.

STORING FRUITS
AND VEGETABLES

Every year people have trouble to
keep fruits and vegetables through
the winter. Much of this trouble can
be eliminated and large amounts of
foodstuffs saved annually if few
simple rules are followed. The College
of Agriculture at Lexington has
found that where good specimens of
fruits and vegetables are stored in
boxes or crates in rooms such as Gel
lars or caves good ventilation must be
provided. This can be accomplished
in several ways First, make sure
that all the containers as boxes, bar
rels and crates have openings so as;
to permit a good circulation of air.
Bore holes in sides or bottoms or cut
Stats in the sides. Second, be sure that
some means is provided whereby
Their will be good circulation of
air in the storage room. Openings
are usually found in the top of all
cellars or caves, but unless some
means is provided to admit the cold
air to the floor there will not be much
ventilation even when there is an OPP
ening at the top. Often sir inches
cut off the bottom of the door will
provide god circulation of arr This;
opening can be covered with wire net
ting to exclude rats and cats. This
circulation can also be- provided by
laying 10-inch tile from the. outside
to the center of the floor, remember

TOBACCO Men ARE
VERY OPTIMISTIC
Many Believe With Fair Prices
Next Year Will Be Even a
Greater Producer

The fact that with but one-nalf the
tobacco of Madison county cut and in
the barns :here is quantity almost
equal to that of last year, is pleasing
Ito the producers, who assert that tn.
county will be heard from this year
when the sales start. There is a
greater quantity also that is not of
record quality, but they contend it
will assist greatly in helping out
with the high cost of production,
since there will be the largest sales
reported in vars here. Their is also
some of the finest tobacco ever raised
in Madison, it is asserted by some,
who believe the result of the years
work will be very satisfactory when
taken as a whole. There are some
sufferers from rust and blight. How
ever, it is said the immense quantity
being produced will greatly Offset
the effect of this if judicious handling
follows in the sale of the weed.
There has been considerable new
territory devoted to tobacco this year
and the bulk of this will bring about
some unusual quality. The ground
that has been producing good tobacco
heretofore is responding well, it is
said, while the high ground has been
subject to the full effect of the rust.
There is fight on against this, how
ever, and there is a belief among
many that there are already assur-
ances against a repetition to any
great extent and visions of a bumper
crop next year. One producer said he
believed the rust would be success
fully fought, and with good price,
and if such can be obtained this year
will make the industry even greater
next year.

Monday night in the absence of

1000 per cent, winning all cases be-
fore him. There were half a dozen,
and he brought about convictions in
every case. City Judge G. Murray
