was genuinely attached to him, more
so than she knew. And when she saw
how well he looked, how very much

VETERAN OF TWO GREAT WARS
AdoIph Lowe Of LansdaIe, Pa, Par
tlcipated In Both the Civil and
~ World Conflicts.

With the war between North and
South in which he fought more than
80 years behind him, Adolph L. Lowe
of Lansdale, Pa, in 1917 again en-
tered the service of his country in
the war with Germany and today at
seventy-nine is one Of the most re-
markable members Of the American
Legion. His age, naturally enough,
debarred him from going to sea three
years ago with the navy, which he
Joined as carpenters mate and he
was assigned to the base at Cherry
stone island, Va, and later to the Nor
folk navy aviation center, the Ports
mouth naval hospital and the Vir-
ginia Beach rifle range.
Although he was denied sea service
in the World war, Mr.. Lowe saw
enough action to last most men the
rest of their lives during the Civil
war. He took part in the lombard
ment Of Fort S1mter and saw the
Merrimac ablaze. Later In the block
ade of Charleston and in naval en-.
gagements along the coast he went
through hard and severe fighting.
Mr.. Lowe says that the sea stories
of Fenimore Cooper first brought to
him the desire to follow the sea for
q career. In 1859 he shipped for
South America and the following year
In Rio de Janeiro he swan mile to
the shore to sign as midshipman on
the U. 8. sloop of war Seminole.

Reality Of Disease Germs.

Christian Scientists, against remarks
on the death from diphtheria of girl
under Christian Science treatment, the
Journal of the American Medical Asso-

girl been buried beneath a load of
bricks, even Mr.. White would have
suggested, we believe, that before CIV
ing the injured child Christian Sci

q o. P. Emerson returned Thursday
morning from the Twin Cities where
he had been taking in the Minnesota
State Fair. Mr.. Emerson went down
to the cities on business, and also
partly to hear and size up the two
presidential candidates, Harding and
Cox. He came back wearing Hard
ing button, so you can.draw your own
conclusions. He stated that he went
down to hear these two big men, unde-
cided which one he would vote for at
the coming fall election. He heard
both men speak at the state fair
grounds. Both speeches were con-
fined almost entirely to agricultural
problems, and problems which the
farmers Of the nation are facing at
this time. He stated that Mr.. Cox
gave fine line of oratory to his
listeners but seemed to fail to grasp
the meaning of the true agricultural
problems before the country at this
time. Mr.. Harding, according to Mr..
Emerson, seemed to have a broader
vision Of the needs Of the farmers and
he outlined several helpful laws which
he would attempt to have put into eff
feet If elected president. Mr.. Emerson
is q firm Harding man now and is
confident he will be elected.

WAR ENDED KENTUCKY FEUDS
Youths and Mountaineer Parents Who
Were Estranged, Brought Togeth-
er at County Reunion.

The war has brought peace to the
embattled mountaineers Of the famous
feudist counties of Garrard and Lin
coin in Kentucky. For more than a
generation these neighboring but not
neighborly counties were estranged-
the Inhabitants of one being sworn en-
emies Of the natives Of the other and
many were the brushes between them,
which, though. not bloodless altogeth-
er, happily produced no fatalities.
Then came the war and the youth
of Garrard and Lincoln counties
marched off together. They went
overseas together and fought the
Boche together, sharing together the
dangers, discomforts and great mo-
ments Of battle. The sea stood be-
tween them and the old quarrel at
home. Little by little the ancient
grudge faded away until the boys from
Lincoln and the boys from Garrard
were actually fraternizing in the rest
billets back of the line.
They came home together. For the
moment they had had enough fighting.
They could see no point in keeping
alive the traditional quarrel between
their respective counties. So, recent
~ officers of the American Legion
posts of Stanford, county seat of Lin
coin county and Lancaster. county
seat Of Garrard county, got together
and agreed upon a grand reunion and
"peace" celebration Of the residents
of both counties. The affair was held
under the auspices Of the Legion and
old feudists whose sons shared the
same shell hole together in France,
shook hands for the first time in their
lives and called it quits.
