AN EARLY START
TICKET FOR MAYOR AND COUN-

The people of Dawson are given
another reminder that this is year

NO PUBLIC BUILDING
IN DAWSON this YEAR
ACTION OF CONGRESS STILL
FURTHER POSTPONES EREC-
TON OF STRUCTURE.

Hope for the erection this year of
the postoffice building in Dawson,
which was authorized several years
ago, is again blasted by the decision
of congress not to make any appro-
priations for public buildings during
1920.
Congress celebrated its thrift
week" last week with wave of econ
omy sweeping both the senate and
the house. The net result was:
Called "Sparerib" Bill.
Republicans and democrats joined
forces in slashing away at appropria-
tions, though a few had the temerity
to attack the ''porkless" bill.
"This should be called the spare
rib bill instead of the traditional
pork barrel,'" Representative Free
man, republican, of Connecticut, said.
"Spare ribs means plenty of bone,
but little meat" Representative Blan-
ton, democrat, of Texas, interjected.

SAYS REV. 0. B. CHESTER DE-
LIVERED POWERFUL SERMON
Fl. Gaines Paper Says Presiding Ell
der's Discourses We're Greatly
Beneficial to His Hearers.

The current issue of the Fit. Gaines
Georgian says of sermons preached
in that city by Presiding Elder o. B.
Chester:
"Most of the people who heard
Rev. o. B. Chester, the presiding
elder of this district, preach last
Sunday morning and evening at the
Methodist church were deeply and
favorably impressed by his extraordi-
nary fervency and the timeliness of
many of his utterances. In both dis
courses Mr.. Chester stressed the semi
decadent condition of the church
not merely the Methodist organiza-
ton but all-and drove home in the
minds and hearts of listening church
men the imperative need of imme-
diate action tending to arrest decay.
He urged a higher standard of living
on the part of laymen and recon-
mended earnest personal work as
means of rejuvenating interest in re-
ligion. Sin, he said, is no longer the
open visible thing it was generation
ago, but is now intrenched-'dug in"
and the successful combating
thereof demands changed methods of
attack.
"That Mr.. Chester's Sunday SER
mons here were beneficial in no small
degree is the belief of many local
Methodists."

FRAT BOARD" GOES UP,
LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE
Poor Corn Cribs Cost Farmers $500
a Year Per Rodent. Rat-Proof
Barns Are Needed.

With the high cost of living, 'rat
board" has gone up. In the good old
days it cost only 1925 to keep a
common rat year-but the price has
gone up to S.. Consequently, grow
ing need for rat-proof cribs and bins.
Too many farmers build cribs with
holes in walls and floor. The better
types of cribs are built in the barns
and have solid floors with slat sides,
no precaution being taken to prevent
rats from gaining entrance without
even gnawing their way in and no
attempt made to guard against the
tooth route. 1t is conservative to es-
innate the loss by rats in corn ordl-
narily stored at per cent, or two
bushels out of every one hundred.
1t is easy to build rat-proof corn
cribs. Inverted tin pans on top of the
supporting pillars, so that the rats
cannot climb up, is simple and eff
fective, if care is taken that there
is nothing along the side of the crib
for them to climb up on.

at seems as if Hawaii, though
small, must have just so much atten-
ton and so ever so often she eXplo-
sively projects herself into the arena
of the worlds happenings. Not con-
tent with her share in the Big Show
in Europe, she decided to stage

Honolulu embraces all there IS to
the islands; and yet in the second
place the general conception seems
to be that the volcano is located IN
Honolulu's back yard, as it were, and
that we Honolulans take our daily eX-
ercise by running up to the crater ev-
erv morning before breakfast.
In its downward course, the lava
followed the general direction OF the

break until the first lava poured into

in approaching the flow from the sea

the lava was visible for many miles
before Alika was reached. Drifting
within 200 yards of the point where
the liquid rock was rushing INTO the
sea. the scene stretching before one

haze from the burning forests, which
hung over the source 20 miles away,
lifted and the river of fire stood out
in its full glory holding one speech

down the mountain slope, carrying on
its bosom rocks as big as houses that
were tossed about as if they were

ing lava neared the coast line 1t APP
peared to gather more speed, taking
the final plunge over a 10O-foot clltt
at a terrific rate, and looking for all
the world like fiery Niagara. AS the
red hot lava came in contact with the
water great columns of steam and
gas, like huge waterspouts, were
forced hundreds of feet in to the air.
Huge boulders, hurled into space, eX-
ploded with thunderous reports into
auras of red and green lights, while
flashes of what looked like lightning
added to the chaos.

side, seeking a point of egress. Sud
