A TITANIC NEWS
LETTER FROM HOME.

Stephens, Ark, Jan. IL, 1920
Editor Enterprise Enclosed you will
find pay for your valuable newsy
newspaper for 1920. Since we came
here we have missed few copies,
-(lost by some means) and we al
ways feel disappointed when it fails
to come. No one who resides in
Weakley county will ever appreciate
this paper as one who has made
their home for half century and
moved away to strange country
It is the titanic newsletter weekly
from home. Tells us all about the
people we have known from child
hood-marriages, divorces, deaths,
births, exchanges and news we are
always anxious to hear about-al-
wavs chronicled in their proper
places. So we just won't be With
out it.
Now, to the Enterprise, all and
any people and friends: I send
greetings, hoping that this year.
1920, may be the most prosperous
year of your lives, that peace and
love for one another may reign su-
preme in your hearts and that the
new plague, spoken of in Thurs
days paper) known as morbid sa-
batca, be stamped out in your town
and county, and may health and
peace and prosperity reign In the
hearts and lives Of all men.

HEAVY TOBACCO
SALES REPORTED

Hopkinsville, KY, Jan. 17.-Near-
ly million and half pounds of to-
bacco were sold on the loose floors in
Hopkinsville this week. By reason
OF the double auctioneering system,
no difficulty was experienced in max
ing the rounds Of all the houses daily.
Fridays rain made a good tobacco
season for the growers, and the wa
CONS are rolling into town on every
road. Thus far very little really
good tobacco has been brought to
market. There has been ready
sale for everything offered, but the
buyers are eager to get hold of fine
stuff, which is sure to command
fancy prices. A large part of the Of
ferings this week was wet and in
poor condition. Prices ranged as
follows: Trash, $40 to SIP; common
Tugs, $l2 to $l4; medium Jugs, $14
to SIG; good Jugs, SIG to $40; fine
Tugs, $40 to $25; low leaf, $18 to
$28; common leaf, $40 to $25; me-
dunn leaf, $25 to $50; good leaf,
$50 to $98; fine leaf, $38 to SAC.
The sales aggregated 1,440,865
pounds at an average of $22.16. The
seasons sales are 5,218,525 pounds
with $21,92 as the average. This
is over a million pounds more than
had been sold at this time last year
and an increase of about SO over the
average.

A. E. Ganaway, who recently
.teok charge of the Martin creamery,
was in Dresden on Monday and in
forms us that he is campaigning for
the establishment of SO cream sta
tions, 25 of which he hopes to To-
cate in Weakley county. He wants
one at Dresden, as we'll as other
towns in the county, and is offering
top prices for cream. Mr.. Ganaway
tells us that he has a contract to
furnish one ice cream maker with
200 pounds of sweet butter daily

the public.

CANADA TO CUT DOWN COINS
High Price Of Silver Causes Melting
of Money for Commercial Uses
in the Dominion.

Ottawa.-The high price which bar
silver has been commanding in the
metal markets of the world may neces-
state a reduction of the fneness OF
the alloy from which Canadian silver
coins are struck, 1t was authoritatively
stated here today.
With bullion prices at the present
level there is too great a tendency to
withdraw coins from circulation and
melt them for commercial uses, 1t was
said. The Canadian mint here has
been kept busy to meet the demand for

looks through sufficiently long layer.
If, however, there were nothing to re-
fleet the light back. the water would,
of course, look black, and certain lakes
do show exactly this phenomenon. II
there is a small amount Of rejecting
particles the water looks blue. With
more suspended particles a certain
amount Of yellow Is sent back. and the
water becomes green. In the tropics
the water is an intense blue. except
near the shore. where It becomes an
almost equally intense green. ,..
The water of the Rhone where 1t
flows out of the Lake Of Geneva Is
blue, while the Rhine Of Strasbourg
Is green, and we find that the Rhine
contains 70 per cent more suspended
calcium carbonate than the Rhone.
Sometimes the water in q swimming
tank will be green. This Is due to sus-
pended solids In the water. The same
effect can occasionally be obtained In
porcelain-lined bathtub. The clear
brown brooks that one finds in many
places in New England owe their color
to the presence of a brown material of
the nature Of tannin, 50 this would
really be a pigment color and not a
structural One.-Scienti6c American.

JONAH MERELY A MOUTHFUL
Monster Fish Recently Caught at Mi.

dated Twenty Prophets.

Was Jonah swallowed by whale7
According to the biblical story 1t was
q fish of this nature that entertained
the prophet in its interior for three
days and nights, but the limited size Of
the whales throat precludes the posi-
bility Of its swallowing a man.
However, there was caught at MI
ami, Fla, recently, fish that could
have lunched on 20 Jonahs without
suffering the slightest pang Of indlges-
ton, and among the many persons who
have seen the fish are clergymen who
have formulated the theory that it was
really fish of this species that swal
lowed Jonah. 80
Here Is the way this denizen Of the
deep shapes up in the way Of dimen-
sional figures: The net weight of the
fish, when caught, not including its
last meal, was 10000 pounds. Its liver.
alone touched the beam at 100
pounds, which Is about the weight Of
q hefty bullock, From end to end it
measures As feet, which is equal to the
combined length Of eight normal men.
At the thickest part the circumfer-
ence is % feet 9 inches.
One Of the most impressive features
Of the fish Is its month, which is so
inches wide and 43 inches deep. In
side Of the mouth is tongue 40 inches.
and 1t has multitude of teeth much
smaller than baby's. Nobody has
ever attempted to count these molars
The tail resembles the caudal append
age Of an airplane and measures 10
feet from tip to tip.
But big as the fish Is, it died in In
fancy. Scientists who have measured
its cartilaginous formations say they
are far from developed and that had
this monster attained. full growth 1t
would have been two and half times
as large as it is now.
According to the scientists Of the
Smithsonian institution the animal is
whale.shark, and is the first specl-
men Of its kind that has been captured.
They state further that it is an 1nhabi-
tant of water Of 1900 feet depth, its
hide Of sufficient thickness to with

Measuring Our Universe.

Astronomers are inclined to believe
that our universe with its 100000
stars is after all but part Of space
and that other universes may lie be-
You'd. Attempts have been made to
measure the size of the so-called uni
verse, but opinions differ very widely
as to its dimensions. 1t is difficult to
measure it by using so small a unit
of measure as mile. If We take the
speed of light which travels $4,000
miles III single second, for compare
son we will begin to gain some faint
idea Of the dimensions, Light speed.
ing along at this rate will travel In an
hour $50, $780, 900 miles. 1t is estimated
that it would take light 900 years
to travel across this space. Some as
tronomers even believe that 1t would
take ten times as long or 800, 600 light
years. The mind can scarcely grasp
the idea that beyond this universe lie
even greater voids.-Boy's Life.

NoTHING's THE MATTER THAT WORK
WON'T FIX.

If we are to believe all read in the newspapers
and all we hear from the windy frothy talk we hear
in and outside of public bodies, we would be certain
that the whole world is rushing headlong to ruin
that everything has gone wrong, is upside down
and can't be fixed.
But the facts and plain common sense all point :
the other way. There's nothing to worry about,
nothing to excitement or ALARM Nothlngs
the matter with the world, or any part OF it that
can't be made right by work, by thrift, by patient,
prudent, good natured attention OF every man to
his own job and his business.
The whole trouble is very simple in it's causes
and it's solution. We-that is manknd-are simply
facing the inevitable results Of the world war; we
are confronted by the necessity of paying the bills
incurred and repairing the damage done in the
greatest, worst and most costly of all human con-
flicts. We are all in it; no human being can dodge
his share of the payment Of the toll.
International agreements of whatever sort may
help to safeguard the future against more war
but they will pay of the bills, do of the
work. Legislation may make it easier to put things
back on the old and prosperous basis, but it won't
spare US dollar of the cost stroke of the
work or a single item of the day-by-day economy,
forethought and prudence that make up personal
thrift
In a word the world is much like man who
has been desperately sick; who has spent his
ings for DOCTORS drugs and nurses; whose strength
is exhausted by this raging, wasting fever leaving
him langud and thinking more of rest and recrea-
ton than of work Most Of US have been more or
less in that fix in our own personal experience
we know how it went with us, how hard it was to
get back to smooth sailing on an even keel j.
Now there is nothing for .war-sick, war-wasted
Mr.. World to do but to get back on the job, work
as hard and save much he can, until the
nrce of his dear bought experience is paid in full
We apt to forget to ignore the causes
of situations; don't to realize that we
have shot away, burned up; sunk in the ocean
and otherwise destroyed most of the surplus of
this worlds handwork accumulated through long
period of peace-that we have spent in the gigan-
tice orgy of war all Of the money we had and i'm
mense amount didn't have; that every nation
involved in the struggle mortgaged the future of
its people for at least generation in order to
