CINCINNATI ITEMS

Last Thursday afternoon a cvclone
formed in the western part of the
township and demolished the Hollis
wentworth home, one of the most
substantial buildings in the Nettle
Bend district. Eye witnesses state
that the house was raised directly 8
or 10 feet above the foundation and
then tipped completely over, landing
OF the roof. Mrs. Hollis Wentworth
and Mrs. Wesley Wentworth were
both caught in the wreckage and con-
slderably bruised. David Harding

cradle difficulty, with the help of 9TH
ers, released these ladies from the
wreckage, who were taken at once to
the Thomas Flynn home short dis
tance away, whei$ physician was
summoned and the injuries dressed.
Both are doing nicely and will not
suffer from permanent injuries. The
twister formed some distance to the
northwest where it demolished some
outbuildings at the Lawrence Daub
place and from the Wentworth place
moved southeast where it demolished
small house occupied by John Bo-
hall and family but the family escap-
ed as they We're away from home, but
all their belongings in the house were
destroyed. 1t was fortunate that no
loss of life occurred. The loss at
the Wentworth place is covered by
insurance.

stored it there in local garage
Upon hearing of the shipment he got
out his fivver, went down to Council
Bluffs and brought the wool back to
ship to the association. All of the
men who shipped are perfectly will
ing to let the wool remain in the
warehouse until a market becomes
more stable.

b. of r. E. Wins Ten Inning
Contest

The B of R. E. ball team, of this
city, defeated the fast Western Un-
mons of Omaha, at the City Park
here, on Sunday afternoon, by a
score of to a.
The game was a pitchers battle,
with honors even at the end OF The
ninth stanza, the score being at that
time to a. The locals scored one
in the tenth. Moore for the locals
and Rabe for Omaha pitched regular
ball, the former striking out men,
while the latter famed out Is.
The locals made hits, Omaha Z,
but the latter was unfortunate in the
number of men left on bases. Very
few errors on either side.
Lull, the left fielder for the B. of
r. E., cleaned his garden up right.
He was credited with seven put outs,
and four of them were very difficult
catches.
Both teams played real league ball
and it was continual guess as to
who would be the winners. 1t was
the best game played here this sea-
son, but the attendance was small
The B. of R. E. deserves better sup
port than they are getting from our
citizens.

Times and People Changing

That people do not go to church as
much as they used to is well-known
fact, and probably there is no one
reason for it, but a combination Of
reasons, chief among which is the
fact that times, customs and people
are changing all over the world, and
nothing is now as it used to be.
People do not read books and mag
azines as much as they used to eth
er. They go to movie picture shows
and go riding in automobiles. Hun
dreds Of thousands who used. to go to
church and then read book on a
Sunday are now kiting all over the
country in autos. Probably the COM
ing Of the automobile has taken more
business and also working men away
from Sunday church services than any
other one source. People like to get
out into the country and away from
the city, and Sunday is about the on
ly day they have to do it.
Then again, people are much more
educated and enlightened than they
used to be, and because of this many
Of them who in their childhood were
taught to believe in the divinity of
Christ, literal heaven and a person.
al God. literal hell and a personal
Devil, no longer hesitate to say that
they do not believe in those dogmas
and creeds.
It is a hard problem to solve, and
yet every man and woman ought to
try to solve it, for it means more to
every one Of us than anything else
does.
Our idea of it is that we should
all lend our moral and financial sup
port to the church, because the great
good it does to mankind, if for no
other reason. We do not have to alb.
sorb all Of the dogmas of the various
creeds if we do not want to, but
have the privilege of accepting such
as appeals to us and getting what
good we can out of them, and casting
from our minds such Of them as we
do not want to accept.
When we go into restaurant we
do not eat everything on the menu.
We eat what we want and leave what
we do not want, and there is no reas-
on why we cannot do so with church
dogmas. Following this simile up
farther, it is fact that on the menu
may be lot of food that we do not
want, but that some other people
would rather have than any other
kind, 50 why not let them enjoy the
kind htey like and we do the same?
We do not get up from the table and
leave the house just because there is
something served which we do not
relish then why should we leave the
church for similar reason?
It takes all kinds Of people to make
a world, and all kinds of food to sat-
isfy them, as many kinds of food, in
fact, as there are kinds of people.
And this applies, also, to spiritual
food.

Notwithstanding the fact that he did
not get everything for which he fought
and was not the completely dominant
1gure which he so frequently has been
in the past, William j. Bryan came
nearer being the headliner of the Dem
Ocratic show at San Francisco than
anyone else. He did not succeed in
getting the resolutions committee to
frame platform plank indorsing the
eighteenth amendment and its accom-
.panying enforcement act, the volstead
law, but he did prevent anything like
an expression favoring mitigation of
those acts. With all the forces of the
administration arrayed against him in
the matter Of the Versailles treaty and
League Of Nations covenant, it was to
DO expected that the Bryan program
OF opposition would fail, nevertheless
the administration did not come off
entirely victorious. The plank as final
.ly framed provided for reservations to
the league more clearly defining Amer
.ica's obligations to foreign countries
and that could not have been entirely
satisfactory to the administration.
Bryan did not dominate the conven-
ton. write the platform nor name the
nominees. but he prevented the presi-
dent and also any other single force
from doing so. His position represent
ed one Of those singular anomalies Of
politics wherein he was forced to op-
I kH,n 1yho nj
he had compelled his party to accept.
Roosevelt, throwing emery onto the
bearings and hurting monkey wrenches
into the machine which he had helped
to build, was in similar position with
respect to the Endorsement and Sec
end nomination of William Howard
Taft. Under such circumstances
.Bryan's influence was weakened just
as was Roosevelt's. Considering the
powerful force of federal administra-
ton, with its great army of Office hold
ers and other potent adjuncts, the
wonder Is that any man could affect it
in the least. Logically, Bryan should
have occupied seat away back in
the rear, but he did not The marvel
10 that under the circumstances he
could make dint in party formations,
yet he did and he wrung from his op-
ponents the reluctant admission, "the
old boy Is wonder"
Bryan. who frequently fails to carry
his ewn state or district, who at home
10 outgeneralled by men not in his
class, who wishes to go to the United
States senate from Nebraska but cam
not command sufficient votes to place
him there, has a peculiar power over
his party at large. 1t is no reflection
on that party, but rather hint Of
things not understandable to the finite
mind In bulk, that he has strange
ability to fathom and deal with mob
psychology.

The Russian bolshevic blow against
Poland, although delivered GO divi-
sions strong, has not been decisive. In
tense fighting has been in progress
along the entire Polish front, with the
reds making slight gains In some Sec
tors and suffering defeat in others.
Taking into consideration the sue
cesses of General Wrangel in Crimea,
the balance has been strongly against
the soviet armies. Wrangel is report
ed to have recovered $4,000 square
miles and to have liberated 2,0OO,O0O
people in his drive. His losses are
given as $500 dead and wounded.
while more than 10000 red prisoners
alone have been taken. Polish repre-
sentatives in the United States are

Russians and the commencement of a
period Of reconstruction.

Hopes of suffraglsts for ratiflca-
tfon Of the federal amendment in time
to permit women to vote in the COM
ing presidential election are now
pinned on the action of the legislature
of Tennessee, and, that failing, upon
the North Carolina legislature. Gov
ernor Roberts of the former state, in
response to request from President
Wilson, has announced that he will
call a special session of the legislature
in plenty of time to act on the amend
ment. Governor Beckett of North
Carolina, who received similar re-
quest from the president, has reiterat-
ed his purpose of advising a special
session in his state to ratify the
amendment. Gov. P. w. Clements of
Vermont. although strongly urged by
suffrage leaders to call special ses-
sion has not definitely stated that he
is contemplating action.

the southern side, their west wing on
the British and their east wing on the

be an advance of the Greeks against
Mustapha Kemal's front, an advance
by the French from the east and the
British from the west, hoping by this
