Z AVA number of caves in Edmondson

largest cave known. Ii extends for
almost a mile below tho surface OF the

passage ways. Here are displayed
perhaps the greatest and grandest ex-

work of water in underground sculptur-

Its discovery was another case of
the hunter and the bear-date about
1900 The bear, wounded, crawled
into the cave and escaped. The hunt

A visit to this cave Is certainly a
unique and wonderful experience. No
where else can il be duplicated. The
interior is q maze Of domes, pits. halls,

stalagmites. carved stone and other
characteristic and peculiar phenomena
and fairylike forms fashionable in
cave architecture. There are lakes and
rivers In it-one can boatrlde on the

limestone roof. 60 feet high in places,
and the battlemented shores reflect
and magnify every sound.
The Giants Coffin is the largest rock
in the cave. 1t Is Is feet thick. 43 feet

OF many. is $50 feet high. Many varie-

Spring Tonics

Someone has devised the following
prescription for those who feel it nee
essary to "take something" at tn ;
tine of year.
Having obtained a bottle of your
favorite prescription carefully re-
frain from removing the stopper,
carry it two miles into the country
and bury it. Walk out every day TO
see that it is still there"
The following will doubtless appeal
more sensible people: A
Take exeIcise. Take daily exercise.
Have a hobby that gets you out Of
doors. Walk to your business, to
your dressmaker's, walk for the sake
of walking. Join walking club keep
your weekly score of miles. Keep
chickens, make a garden, wheel the
baby or play golf or any other game,
but take two hours outdoor exercise
every day. Gymnasium work is good
for those who like it and can afford
it, but avoid heavy athletics. Don't
try to be a strong man, the champion

Some Sound Advice

The most profitable rule the people
of any community can follow is TO
pick for their patronage the business
men who are public spirited. The
man who does not put his shoulder
to the wheel for community progress
and yet has the nerve to ask of your
community helpfulness should be
made to pay rent or move.
That is something that happens in
every community. There are always
few persons in every town who in
no way contribute financially or
otherwise to the towns betterment,
but yet are always ready to "get
theirs" out of the prosperity the
boosters bring. And almost invar:-
ably they are knockers ON the records
of others in every proposition of pro.
gress, apparently thinking thereby
to excuse themselves for refusing to
help. 20, wad the power o. some
gifte gle 'em to see themselves as
others see mi"

Education Most Important Asset


School days are over. Soon our
boys and girls will exclaim, as they
think with satisfaction of the ap-
preaching vacation days, and none
would deny them the anticipated
pleasure b having freedom for a
time from their studies. 1t is i'm
portant however, that the youth be
impressed with the advantages which
education affords them.
The day is here when the door Of
opportunity is closed to those who
are deficient in education. A failure
to fit our children to cope with con-
ditions which will confront them in
the future, is an injustice to the
child, and as parents cannot disassoN
ciate themselves from the success or
failure of their offspring. it behooves
each one to thoroughly gconsider this
important subject from every view-
point.
One of the most, significant facts
in favor of thorough training of the
youth, are statistics which show
fully one hundred vocations in life
are closed to any boy or girl who has
not acquired a High School or coll
lege education. One hundred doors
of opportunity are closed against
those who are deficient in learning.

Hold Your Liberty Bond

The United States Government

the War. You hold the COVENANTS

Is is called a l. berty Bond or Victory
ote. On this Bond is stated the con-
ditions under which the Government
borrowed the money from you. For
instance: If you hold bond of the
Third Liberty Loan, it states that on
April Is and October Is of each year
until maturity, you will receive inter-
est on the amount you paid for the
bond. Other issues bear other rates
of interest and other maturity dates
all of which are clearly stated on
the bond.
Now, if you keep your bond until
the date when the Government pays
you in full for it, you do not need
to worr if in the meantime, the price
is low one day or high the next.
You and Uncle Sam are living up to
your agreement with each other, and
neither will lose bv it.
On the other hand, If you sell your
l. berty Bond now, you will find that
the man you sell it to will not give
YOU a dollar for everv dollar you paid
for it. The price has been brought
down because so many people are
acering to sell their bonds. If the
you can buy them cheap. but If every
