PEAT BLOCKS FOR FUEL

So serious is the fuel situation in the Baltic States that the Government of Latvia is considering the issuing of wood and peat cards in much the same manner as the other Govern ments of Europe issued, during the war, bread, sugar and milk cards.
 As result of this threatened fuel shortage the Latvian Government has turned it's attention to the harvesting of the vast peat deposits which are to be found about Riga, in the country around kovno, and in other sections. Already the peat market in Riga is one of the interesting spots in the city, while the gathering and prepar- ing of it is furnishing employment for scores of men and women.
 Peat is merely decaying vegetable matter found about stagnant water. When harvested, it is cut into bricks and stacked to dry. The completed product as it appears in the market resembles in shape somewhat the blocks of compressed coal used on European railroads. To prevent profiteering the Government will place a fixed price upon peat bricks.
 In this attempt to educate the peo- pie in the use of peat, the various sta tions of the American Red Cross are setting an example by using it for cooking purposes. At the same time Red Cross officers are conducting ex- periments with a combination of peat and other materials in an endeavor to find fuel which may be used in the manufacturing plants about Riga and thereby reduce the drain on the wood supply of the country. .

A NOVELTY IN RUGS

A new type of rug, brilliant in col bring with gorgeous sunset tints, thick, soft, durable and moderate in price is ready for some enterprising Americans to introduce into the rug market. This is the handwoven rug of Albania. A time is certainly com ing when the Albanian rug will grace thousands of summer cottages and bungalows in America.
 Not so soft and light as the Navajo blanket, these rugs are twice as thick, twice as durable and many times warmer. Made to last for genera tions they are "just the thing" for the front porch or damp tent floor and their striking color combinations commend them to the holiday atmos- phere of the vacation home. Water cannot hurt them. The man who seeks an extra rugged blanket to add to his camping kit need have no fear of sleeping in the rain under an Al banian rug, while the enthusiastic has a canoe-mat par excellence.
 Whereas a fine Bokhara carpet takes months in the weaving and sells in America for hundreds Or thousands of dollars, depending on it's size and quality, the Albanian blanket rug can be woven in a few weeks, would range between thirty and one hundred dol lars.
 When purchased from the weaver in Albana, native rug would never cost more than ten dollars, and the
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1920-10-09

average rug can be had for less than five.
 The American Red Cross Commis sion for the relief of Albania has found, in many instances, that it was cheaper to buy native rugs for dis tribution to the needy than to import American blankets. In many Red Cross hospitals and dispensaries scat tered throughout that impoverished country, the bright-hued rugs, woven by the peasant women of the hills from threads spun by hand on ancient spindles, make warm coverings for the beds of the sick.

and help make the paper more
worth while.
We are having plenty of rain

living, the way things are going
now.
Sam Dixon intends to leave fof

A LETTER OF sYnPArHH.
Coalinga, Cal.
April q, 1920.
Dear relatives and friends:

Dear relatives and friends:
| was very much grieved to
learn of the death of my beloved
cousin, Mrs. Della Lofts Myers.
She was so loving and friend
making.
We sure have lost a true rela-
tive and friend. She always
knew her relatives and friends
anywhere she met them. No
difference how nice she might
have been dressed and how large
the crowd. she always had q
kind word and a loving smile to
greet them.
want to say to her beloved
husband, as am not acquainted
with him and know nothing Of
his religious views. that IL be
isn't a christian | hope he viii
become one, and to raise their
little son to walk in his mothers
steps.
To her dear father. whom she
has stood by and done all that
was in her power to do, to heal
his wounds, and to cool his
fever and relieve his pain, and
prayed that his life be spared to
become a christian. Now dear
uncle don't put 1t off too late,
for we know net what hour we
may be called.
Aunt Viran. you sure have
lost a loving daughter. She sl-
ways made your home fires so
bright. To the three sisters.
you have lost a good and true
sister, and | am sure her soul
has winged its way to a bright
eternal day.
1t seems as though the LOFTS
generation are drifting away
very fast for the last few years
but there some few remaining,
who remind us of the past, but
they change as all things change
here. Nothing in this world can
last.
AS ever a cousin.
Mrs, Austin Terry.

Prosecution Fund Voted.

The brigade commanders first
division, Camp Taylor, KY, have
voted a fund of S3, 400 to be USED
to assist in the prosecution of
the murderers of Corporal Raph-
oal Purlmutter, Twenty.sixth in
fantry. who was murdered in
cold blood at Cookeville March
16.
The military authorities are
doing everything possible to
have justice meted out to the
guilty, and time and money will
not be spared to this end. Maj.
L. S. Frasier, Twenty-sixth in
fantry, who conducted the inves-
tigation for the military, will re-
turn to Cookeville Saturday to
continue his work in the case.
1t was due to the persistent
efforts of Maj. Frasier that the
four men being held charged
with the murder were arrested,
and one confessing and implicat-
ing the others in the crime.
According to Maj. Fraiser's
report to the commanding gener.
al, Camp Taylor. while John Kir-
by was confessing to the murder
an attorney, a friend of Alfred
Smith, one of the defendants,
stated that he would withdraw
from the case, and left the room.
Maj. Frasier followed him, and
when the man made an effort to
send a telegram to Smith at De-
troit. the major objected and
notified the civil authorities.
Maj. Frasier says that after the
civil authorities refused to inter-
fere with the sending of the tele-
gram, he used his authority and
forbade it being sent. Instead
Of Smith receiving a telegram
from his friend, he was paid a
personal visit from the Detroit
police at the request of Maj. Fra
sier.

~The Stone Age Man. .

Mr.. w. E. Myer has returned
from Washington, D. c.. wher,
he has been for several weeks
putting the finishing touches OF
his forthcoming book, THE
Stone Age Man in the Middle
South. " The book will be pub.
lished by the department Of
ethuology of the Smithsonian in
stitution. The author submitted
the manuscript Of the book to the
scientists of the department al
their request, who readily saw
the value and Importance of the
work, and at once the proposition
was made to Mr.. Myers to have
the department to become the
publisher This was agreed to
and the work will be out in about
a year. Mr.. Myer is universally
recognized as authority on the
subject designated in the title Of
the book. A no inconsiderable
part of the book is devoted to
the dicoveries and investigations
made by the author in Tennessee
he having devoted many years
of his life to that work, but the
scope of the book is by no means
restricted to this state. but en-
braces, as the title indicates a
large part of the South.
1t is not improbable that the
department of ethuology will
send a representative to Tennes-
see to make a survey of some of
the discoveries made by Mr..
Myer with a view to suggest gov
ernment aid for the preservation
of certain localities wherein these
finds" were made.
While the book is in process of
being printed Mr.. and Mrs.
Myer contemplate a trip that
take them practically around the
world.
While doing research work for
material for his book Mr.. Myer
spent sometime in Jackson coun-
ty excayating the numerous Ind
ian graves. What he learned
from his work in this county
threw considerable light on the
habits and customs of the tribe
of Indians that formerly inhabit.

Disastrous Storm Visits South

Inc most destructive COrnau(
that has ever occurred in the
South. swept through Mississip
pi, Alabama and a portion Of
Tennessee Tuesday, April 20,
carrying death and destruction
in its wake. The latest informa.
ton received from the stricken
areas, together with reports al
the offices of the government OF
Mississippi and Alabama give the
following toll of the tornado:
Mississippi $50 dead; 100 in.
jured.
Alabama-78 dead; 500 injur-
ed.
Tennessee-5 dead; 80 injured.
FAMILIES made homeless in the
three states total close to 500 and
lossesin live stock and property
will approximate 50, 0W, 600.
Winston, Marion, Madison and
Franklin counties bore the brunt
of the terrific storm in Alabama.
Many victims were killed out
right by flying timbers from
their wrecked homes; others
were manned by the blast which
swept away buildings and trees.
Crops were ruined and farmers
with their only resource of liveli-
hood destroyed, have been forced
to depend upon charity for food
and clothing.
The greatest loss of life occur
red at Cedar Bluff, Clay county,
Mississippi, where thirty-two
persons were killed. Monroe.
Neshoba and Alcorn counties
were also struck by the tornado
as it rushed across the state.
In Tennessee, Lewis, William
son and Maury counties felt the
effects of the disturbance which
seemed to have ascended to a
higher level. and consequently
caused less fatalities and damage.
Reports showed the Rex Cross
had sent workers and supplies
into the storm.swept districts.
Appeals for medical aid. food
and clothing were being answer
ed and with the establishment of
headquarters in Hamilton, Ala,
and Meridian, Miss, relief work
is well under way.
A member Of the Red Cross
who made a trip through the de-
wasted areas made the following
report. 81
Men have taken twisted tim
bers from wrecked houses and
made shelters to protect their
families from rains and winds" "
Most of these shelters are about
the size of an average room and

five families handled together

they had lost their wits.
Two nurses and myself with
a body of men went about col
lecting and trying to identify the
dead. Many'of the bodies were
so horribly mangled that it was
almost impossible to identify
them. We found the body of a
dead woman. Beside it lay her
little baby, pulling at the dress
of its mother and trying to make
her speak.
That is only one of the many
touchinp scenes that we saw.

Passing Of Old Billy He'll.
YubY Dam, U. S. A.

Just as we go to press, tn,
wires are clinking of the deatl
of Old Billy He'll. This comes
only as a slight surprise. Th'
doctors held out" but little hope
for the recovery of Billy from
the beginning, as he received
thirteen fatal wounds and haC
developed blood poison and was
paralized, and this morning wher
his jaws locked the last hope
went glimmering and the doctor
shook their heads.
Up to the time of the looking
of the jaws they had said that
he had a gamblers chance to
live because of his great vitality
and tenacity, but Billy last SC
much of his vitality and tenacity
and sank so low just just before his
death they could not rally him
and he died. They said that
there were so many compiled
tons in hi Sc and so much
weight upon OAe vital thread of
life that it snapped and he died
Immediately. 1t is certainly a
breath of relief that he is dead.
He has been a terror to this place
for many years.
Billy was a bad man and acted
very naughty by placing himself
at the head of the desperadoes
and low brows of Blue Cut Ruin
and leading them over our town
to shoot down our citizens and
mar and mess up our happiness.
It is not according to rhyme and
reason to rush over a town like
Billy did Yuby Dam and proceed
to shoot round, straight holes
through its citizens without pro-
vocation or notice. This is get
ting a little too gay and taking a
little too much liberty'and | for
one am glad that our boys STOP
ped his clock.
Billy had to be stopped and it
took a bullet to stop him. Kind
words, good advice nor gentle
admonition was no check to him.
1t seems that he took special de-
light in running amuck, takin
''one too many" and disturbing
and trying to turn over civil
society.
Billy spent nearly all of his
downward career in Blue Cut
Ruin, with the exception of one
year he spent in Yuby Dam,
was in 1901. got him to come
to Yuby Dam and stay a year, so
that real estate would go down
to where | could buy a home.
Billy left a large family, several
acquaintanceS and myself and
many others behind. He made
no spiritual change that was no.
ticeable except he quit cursing
when he took lock- jaw, so there
is but little doubt that the black
angels got busy when he wink
ed out" and he is now back
stepping on the big Frying
Pam just over there.
