Orchids of the IunaIes.

Edna Worthley Underwood, in
Asia: 1.-THE best place to get orchids
for experiments in cross-fertilization
is South America. They have reached
highest development there. The
rarest, most wonderful flowers in the
world are found in the South Ameri-
can jungles.
ITO the hill-forests of Columbia
you must go for the odontoglossum.
In the jungles of Ecuador there are
trees which are enyeloped with orchid
blossoms. These orchids-from the
old Spanish main-are gorgeous and
splendid, like the lustful dreams of
the conquistadores. Did you ever
see a red like that? What are these,
you ask? Bee, frog, lizard, butterfly,
do not in the least resemble flower.
There are orchids that give off per-
fume only at certain hours, and diff
ferent perfume on different days. And
sometimes they initiate scents of
other flowers, just as hooking birds
initiate bird voices.
'sDid yoI ever hear of the death
orchid of Venezuela?
Not many white men have heard
of it. And none has seen it. It's per-
fume causes either death or a mar
cotic sleep-to the Indians-from
which they never awake in their right
mind. No one has gathered it. 1t
might not have the same effect upon
a white man, you see. Now there's
your chance. Go! Find it,"

| MARION. Ohio. July 23.-Messages
iof congratulations on Warren 8.
Harding's acceptance speech began TO
pour in by telegraph and mail at
headquarters here today.
Party leaders, heard from thus far,
were unanimous in approval of Hard
I ing's position on the campaign issue.
Harding's opposition to the league
of nations covenant was the subject
/ of most discussion and leaders previ-
Iously favorable to a league with mild
reservations joined with bitter end
! ers" in praising Harding's utter
ances.
Their View expressed TODAY was
the campaign will be waged AROUND
the issue of the league. Hostility to
the present league covenant appeared
universal among republicans here. His
declaration for immediate peace BY
congressional declaration brought a
most spontaneous demonstration at
the Garfield park ceremonies.
Harding rested today from the
strain of the last twenty-four hours.
He planned round of golf
His party advisers here watched
crowds on the front porch very care
fully yesterday and today agreed both
candidate and Mrs. Harding are well
adapted to that style of campaigning.
There was less talk among party
leaders of pressure to force Handing
out on the stump.
There was still talk, however, as
to whether republicans in distant
parts of the country would be content
with reading about visits of delega-
tons. The most significant comment
on Harding's speech came from Ray
mond Robins, Chicago. former bull
moose leader.
ut insures a united republican
party" he said His reference to
the league of nations, / consider abso-
lutely sound and in my opinion it in
sures the support Of johnson and
Borah."
Another progressive, Walter Brown,
Toledo. declared at was the finest
campaign opening have ever seen"
Will H. Hays was highly elated
with the way the crowd received
Harding's speech Senators Lodge.
Hale and Frelinghuysen, supporters
of Lodge reservations during the
treaty fight, approved Harding's
speech enthusiastically.
Speaking for the west, National
Committeeman Shelly, Montana, said
Harding would carry the country On
his speech.
II speak as progressive" he said.
'sThe speech will be received with
approval all through the northwest"

Power Company Pays Some Damages
to Land Owners in and Around
Burlington and Actions are
Dismissed.
OVER $4,000 INVOLVED
Unique Feature is That Damage Comes
from Water Seeping in Under
the Surface Rather Than
from Top.

Seep water damage claims to the
amount CT $4,000 have been paid IN
the Des Moines county district court
by the Mississippi River Power COM
pany. The Hawk-Eye has this to say
of the cases:
Final settlement in twelve suits
brought by Burlington men and farm
|ers near Burlington against the Mis-
sissippi River Power company-suits
that in the aggregate of damages
claimde amount to more than $50, 900
were settled in the district clerks
office Thursday. In asking that the
suits be dismissed a most interesting
situation was revealed.
In these cases which, attorneys for
the plaintiffs say, the Mississip ii
River Power company paid more than
fifty percent of the claims in compro-
missing the actions it was alleged that
the land was damaged by water seep-
ing up underneath the surface.
Generally damage to lowlands
comes from water overflowing the
farms and killing the crops, but in
these suits all damage was claimed
because the water came from beneath
the soil.
Dam Caused Loss.
1t was alleged that the Mississippi
River Power company, owners of the
Keokuk dam, caused the damage by
constructing a dam that raised the
water level of the Mississippi several
feet
This, the plaintiffs claim, caused a
greater seepage than existed before
the dam was built and that damaged
farming land they owned in the Mis-
sissippi river bottoms north of Bur-
1mgton.
A higher water level means greater
pressure, and this, the plaintiffs
claim, caused a greater amount CT
seepage that damaged crops and rem
dered productive land unfit for use.
The suits were brought two years
ago. Wilmer & Poor, Mohland &
Kuhlemeier and Holsteen & Hill were
the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the
suit settled Thursday.
Land Owners Watch Cases
There are other suits of like nature,
where damage from seepage is
claimed, and all land owners in bot
tom districts effected by the Keokuk
dam have been interested in these
cases. It Is understood that the
money settlement is satisfactory to
all the parties who dismissed suits.
Plaintiffs named in the settlements
made Thursday are William Krum-
land, Charles Wilmer, August
Schwartz, Moir Bros. e Lemaire, H.
S. Gross ct al, ]. B. Suffer, George
Obermann, Henry Eversman, Sarah
Gilbreth, William Ricke, Charles

FUEL SHORTAGE
is PREDICTED
Strikes in Illinois May
Close up Mines and Make
Coal Hard to
Get,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, July 23.-Chicago coal
operators today predicted serious fuel
shortages throughout the nation
within the next month because Of
the unauthorized strikes OF 10000 day
workers in southern Illinois fields and
the threatened general walkout Mon
day of Illinois miners.
Operators, attempting to avert a
crisis today made efforts to secure
release from the contract made fol-
lowing the bituminous coal mine
strike last year They said unless
sections OF the contract relative to
pay Of day laborers was inyalidated,
they would not be able to stay the
strike. Miners are asking higher
wages for day work and President
Frank Harrington, Of the Illinois
union, had declared his loss of con-
troll of the situation.
