MIDDLETON GIRL

CORINTH. Miss, Feb 10. tSpl)-
Several days ago Miss Myra Wellons,
the l6-year old daughter of the rail-
road agent at Middleton, came here
from her home for the purpose Of do
ing some shopping. Failing to return
home her father came here and began
an investigation with the assistance of
the chief OF police II was learned that
she had visited a number Of stores in
the city but made no purchases.
Later it was learned that she had
purchased a ticket for Washington City.

though nothing definite has been
learned Efforts to locate her are be
ing conducted through the police and
detective force of Washington
Her father states that he knows no
reason why she should have taken this
step, and that though she was pro-
vided with enough money for expenses
for short time she was not dressed

Grey Accepts Reservations.

ViscOunt Grey's admirable letter to
the London Times disposes completely
of the artful contention that so far as
our European allies are conc rned the
senate's reservations "nullfy" the
peace treaty The case for uncondi-
tional ratification has rested almost en-
tirely on the fraudulent claim that
American reservations unless they were
merely "interpretative" and therefore
nugatory, would involve a breach of
faith with the other signatory govern
ments and could be properly resented
by them. The senate has been held up
! to SCorn as taking a low and mean ad-
vantage of our associates by pressing
on them notifications of the treaty to
which they could not assent without loss
of self-respect. 1t was only in this
sense that the presidents repeated pro-
| tests against notification" could be
| clothed with any semblance of generos-
| ity Of feeling or moral force.
If the president had been obliged to
| tell the country that the senate was
| 'nullfying' the treaty because it was
| trying to protect its own prerogative as
| a part of the treaty making power and
was at the same time trenching upon
| his prerogatives the public would have
| recognized with absolute. clearness what
the advocates of unconditional ratifi-
cation have been trying to keep it from
| recognizing.-New York Tribune (RepO.

Fifty Thousand a Year.

The statement attributed to c. P.
Higham, member of the British parlia-
ment, that most healthy men and
women are potential earners of $50, 900
year is so startling at first glance
that it is unlikely to receive general
credence. Yet a closer examination of
the formula for success, and of the
eases where determination to succeed
and the unfaltering will to be wealthy
have been rewarded by the bestowal
Of great incomes, gives plauSibility to
the statement. The secret of success
does not lie in the possession of genius,
nor in blind luck, but rather in hard
work and painstaking effort to be pre-
pared when opportunity presents it

$500, 100000 Wasted
Churches.

That 100000 superfluous churches. At
cost Of 100000. 600, have been built
in the United States, was tho estimate
of Dr.. r. w. Peach, Of Newark speak,
ing at the interchurch council in Phil
adelphia. -.
While we heartily agree with DIR.
Peach in urging church union, the time
has passed when his estimate of ma
terial wastes could scare anybody In
comparison with the $32 COO 900, 900 ex-
pended upon the war by the United
States alone a mere half billion put
into unnecessary churches does not
sound sensational. Besides there is not
always economic waste when a church
has given up the ghost. The building
can usually be sold.
The worst waste is not faced WHEN
the church fails and is discontinued,
but when it keeps on year after year
in mere UNCONVENTIONAL obstinacy. with
driblet congregation and an underfed
minister in ruinous spiritual competi-
ton with half dozen others as poor

The typical rural village with its half
dozen starving churches could to
advantage sell five Of them, reserve the

early and important business. The
Peruvian congress would have the
league council adjudicate the long
standing controversy over the nitrate
provinces of Tacna and africa, forner-
ly possessions of Peru, no wa part Of
Chile, as a result of the Chilean Peru
Wan war more than 20 years ago BY
the terms Of the peace treaty between
the two countries a pTebiscite was TO
be held within 10 years after Chilean
occupation TO determine whether the
provinces should remain Chilean or re-
vert to Peru This plebiscite, has never
been held. The Peruvian congress now
is determined to bring the matter be-
fore the only tribunal which has vet
been created competent to deal with
the conflicting claims. Bolivia also is
claimant to Tacna, asserting that the
province is inhabited chiefly by BOW
ians and affords the only seaport open

Pacific ports.

FORMER AUSTRIAN ARMY OFFICER
 GETS DAMAGES

Vienna, Sept. 23-A former officer of the Austrian army was walking through a poor quarter of the city in full uniform when a workmen's councillor ordered him to remove his clanking spurs. An altercation ensued leading to a suit by the officer for de- famation. The court gave him dam ages to the amount of 1000 crowns and told him he could wear the Splen- dor of his former estate when and where he could. The workmens councillor pleaded that he and his neighbors objected to such a reminder of the old time authority of the mili- tary class
 Since the ratification of the treaty, officers in the full uniform of the old army with breastloads of medals and decorations have become very much in evidence on the promenades. Many of them say their uniforms are the only decent clothes they have.

MORE INTEREST
 IN MUSIC WAS
 CREATED BY WAR

That the war had a positive effect in increasing the interest in music and demand for it is the opinion of Bridgeport dealers questioned by a Times man. In music people found a relief from the tension of the war. Some of the best music customers were those who had lost sons and rel atives or were desperately anxious about them.
 Another class who turned to music were those who suddenly found pros perity in the great war wages and for the first time were in position to gratify their musical longings. These naturally turned toward the talking machine and the player-piano.

Another thing which is increasing the general interest in music is the fact that so much more attention is being paid to it in the schools than there used to be. The pupils get knowledge of it there and when they come out they have an interest which tends to make them want some sort of instrument.
 During the war the player piano came into it's own but this does not seem to in any way decrease the de- mand for the straight piano for which there is a greater demand than ever before and it is said that some concerns can not keep up with their orders.
 The greatest demand of all is for the talking machine. Any kind of a box with name on it that can play a record will sell. It is said that one we'll known machine is behind on it's orders over 5O0O00 machines. and over a million records.
