Such calls to duty are rare, how

of strikes and can afford to ignore
them. Most of their energy is ex-

. Compared to Andes Display

=. Compared to Andes Display
Perhaps the most remarkable
feature of the electrical discharge
which takes place either from the
earth to the clouds or from the
clouds to the earth around Brown
Mountain is hat it is silent. The
same thing is true of the electrical
displays in the Andes, which have
long been known to scientists and
travellers in the South American
continent as the Andes lightning.
1t appears as a silent but very lum-
nous discharge of electricity along
the crest of the Cordillera Real in
Chile, in a region where thunder
storms are practically unknown.
Its visibility is sometimes very
marked, having been noted by the
former Director of Meteorological
and Geophysical Institute of Chile.
while he was u at sea, more than
800 miles from the head cordillera.
The actual discharge, in which the
mountain acts as a lightning rod
between the clouds and the earth,
resembles a glimmer, but sometimes
the flashes which take place at the
point of origin are strong and pow
erful, then gradually diminish in
intensity and finally disappear into
the night. The light flashes over
the mountain from late spring to
fall, and the displays grow less
brilliant as one goes farther south.
"The same phenomenon has also
been noted in the Swiss Alps. One
observer. after a long period of hot
and dry weather. reported that he
had seen a succession of semi-circu
lar fiasheS which shot up from a
mountain in the Bernese Overland.
occasionally lighting the Jungfrau
group. Such displays are notable
for their likeness in appearance TO
the aurora. except that they do not
reach such heights"

BY DR.. X. III. BISHOP

There is a good deal of charla-
tanry and make-believe science sur
rounding the subject of exercise and
so-called physical culture. There is
really no mystery about exercise re-
quirements and the many "miracu-
lous'' systems owe such merit as
they possess chiefly to the muscular
movement that they require, the
arousing the individual to activity,
and often there is a psychic effect
as in all cases where hope Of benefit
is held out to the seeker after health.
Exercises should be graduated ac-
cording to age and physical condi-
ton as a~scertained by a complete
medical examination. Many people
have ruined their c~irculatory appa-
ratus by someone's Physical Gull
ture" carried on in ignorance of
their real condition and needs. Such
a warning cannot be too emphatic
for those of middle age, nor is 1t to
be totally disregarded by the young.
1t is very often necessary tina the
exercise be limited to fresh air and
a very carefully regulated program
governed by the physician according
to the effect on the patient.

climbing, walking. swimming. skat-

pie are the exercises that are needed
most. outdoor exercises should be
sought in addition to formal SYSTEM

Any sort of calisthenics can be
made much more interesting and

monograph may be advantageously
used for this purpose. Exercises so
done take almost the form of dane

simple exercises that will prove BEN
efcial for most ases

WOMEN AND PAYMENT OF POLL TAXES.
There seems to be more or less confusion in the minds OF the
women of Grenada County, indeed throughout the State, as to
whether or not they are required to pay poll taxes this year, and
the matter is giving the sherifs office in this county more or less
annoyance every day. The Sentinel has been asked to make a
statement about the matter:
Two years ago a constitutional amendment was submitted
to the voters of Mississippi imposing a poll tax upon women II
years of age and up to 60. That amendment was defeated. But
only a short while after that, a sufficient number OF states had
ratified the amendment to the constitution of the federal govern
ment comforting the ballot on women to make 1t effective, hence
the Legislature, at it's 1920 session, in order to make Mississippi
women ready for the ballot, passed a law requiring the same
poll tax of women that is demanded of men.
The sheriff has no alternative in the matter, and II a woman
has any property in her own right, there can be no question
about the authority of that officer to collect the poll tax. Ser
iously, we have grave doubts about a suit to collect poll taxes
from women being successfully maintained in the courts of the
State for the reason that the authority to collect the poll tax is
not constitutional. But this thing is certain and that is no wo-
man can qualify to vote in the primaries in Mississippi next
summer or in any election hereafter who does not pay her poll
tax.
No man is allowed to vote who has not paid his taxes on or
before the first day of February in the year in which he offers to
vote, and all taxes required Of him for the year before, also.
The same demand is now made of the women. So, our advice IS
to our women that they had best pay their poll tax.
All taxes not paid on or by February l, will be delinquent
and the sheriff is required to add damages and to publish the
names of all delnquents. We are sure that there is no White
woman in Grenada County, who will think the matter over ser
iously, that wants her name on the delinquent poll tax list.
While we write specially of the women in Grenada County,
the same rule applies to the whole State.

his taking away, He was a good and useful citizen and de-

T. Wade. investigator of the Unit

is expected to arrive in Grand Forks
tonight or Saturday to open al Office
here for the collection OF federal

by Al. Surratt of the bureau Of crop
estimates.
The Grand Forks ONCE Will have
charge of the seed loan collections
throughout northern North Dakota,
Montana and a few counties in Idaho.
The Office will be located here
while an effort Is made to clean up
the seed loans made by the govern

states mentioned. So far as North
Dakota is concerned 1t is understood
that there have been practically no
loans made in the Red river valley.
Difficulty Is being experienced in
making collections on the loanssit IL
said owing largely to an idea which
is prevalent among the farmers that
a general release will be given on
the loans this ear as was done in
1913 Nothing Of the SORT Is con-
templated at this time, however, It il
stated.
