 But we liked the rain, oh, yes we did!
 And very nice lady used to sit at the window near the porch.
 'She used to sew and read, and she would look at us and would smile, for she was so glad we were getting so much rain, as she knew how much we loved the rain.
 "We used to cheer her up in the winter time, for the lady loves flowers and plants.
 Without my dear little plants I don't know what I'd do,' she used to say, again and again.
 "SO we tried our hardest not to mind the hard, long winter, but we kept fresh and green and pretty.
 we were so glad to please her.
 Now it is summer time and we are out of doors and the outside air is very pleasant.
 Yes, we most certainly did have hard winter, but now we are so pleased because the winter Is all over with, and while it was here we did our best and gave cheer.
 Tt was easier to do what we did than sew. We couldn't have sewed. Plants could never do anything like that.

This part of the county continues to furnish a. little more than it's share of sensational news. Whats the reason? Is it because murderers, bootleggers and auto bandits think they are among some easy marks up this way, or are the state officers assigned to this territory more alive to their duties than others, resulting in more criminals being appre- hended? s:a --'| =.

A WOOD NOISE.

When the two adventures were IN
the woods visiting Mrs. Wood Elf at
night, they heard a very loud noise.
They couldn't imagine what 1t might
be. They thought Of everything.
at might be lion," said the girl,
"and he is coming nearer and nearer
all the time. She hid her head under
a blanket Of leaves and pulled over an
extra comforter made Of spruce
branches.

were afraid of noises" said the boy,
"but this noise Is terrible"
"Why doesn't any one come to help
us when We call out for helpT asked
the girl.
perhaps we'd better be quiet" said
the boy. Then the dreadful creature
won't hear US. I'm sure it wouldn't
listen TO reason, or pay any attention
TO what we said"
They both stayed very quiet and the
noise stopped. Then they heard 1t
again. They tried to hold their
breath, but, of course, they couldn't.
perhaps 1t has gone away" said
the boy, after some time of silence.
"But wouldn't we have heard it go

whispered the girl. II wish Mrs. Wood
Elf would come. I would think she
was ugly now IL l saw her, I'm
sure-not to come and help u.s."
Again they heard a noise and again
they shivered and tried to keep very
still.
They only hoped for the morning
when they could run away from ad-
ventures and just stay where it was
quiet and safe.
Oh, If morning would only GOMEZ
In a moment or two more the boy
peaked out of one eye into darkness
with only the little bit of scrap of
light which came through from the
far-off stars.
He thought he saw shadow. Then
he was quite sure he saw one. He gave
me awful shrek and the girl rushed
to him and put her head on his Shout
der.
"Oh, this is terrible, terrible! Save
us, don't hurt us, animal, creature,
snake, whoever, whatever you are"
the girl cried.
"a snake wouldn't listen; no crea-
ture would" trembled the boy.
"Oh dear, oh DEAR" said a creature
who at least could speak the language
the boy and girl understood; "oh dear,
oh dear, can't help signing"
The creature gave long sigh and
then lighted a little candle which he
carried in a birchbark candlestick.
II won't hurt you" he said; mo, l
won't hurt either Of you. heard you

thought"

the boy.
"No, please, no." said the girl.
Patience" said the creature, and
they saw his face now In the candle
light, for before they had not dared
to look. 1t was kindly and jolly and
round. He looked almost like a moon
with legs and arms, taking a walk on
the earth.
tive come to tell you," said the
creature, shat wasn't roaring. You
were little afraid when you went to
bed and so the slightest sound made
you think Of wild animals.
I've come most especially to tell
you, though, that there are no such
things as bogeys and ghosts. And IL
you're going to spoil your trip by
imagining all sorts of foolish things.

"Good-by, and Oh" the creature
shouted as he put out his candle and

So they went back to sleep, and were
really very thankful to have had this
adventure.

LOWDEN DECLINES
NAVAL PORTFOLIO
ACTION MAY RESULT IN SOUTH.
ERN MANS LANDING IN HARD
ING'S CABINET.

St. Augustine, Fla-President-el
Harding's cabinet perplexities wer,
! increased by the refusal of Frank O
| Lowden Of Illinois and chief candi
oate for the Republican nomination
against Wood and Harding, to ente
the public service at this time in any
capacity.
This applies to the job of secretary
of the navy which Mr.. Harding urged
the Illinois man to take, as well a:
to ambassadorships which it had beer
rumored Mr.. Lowden might be willing
to accept
In making this announcement Mr.
Harding said that he was sorry anC
expressed high regard for Mr. Lowden
He said he had wanted him in the
cabinet.
There are those who see in this
move far seeing strategy on the part
Of Mr. Lowden to make nimself avail
able again for a Republican presiden
tial nomination four years hence.
A T. Hert of Kentucky is here and
his friends intimate that he might
be prevailed upon to take the navy OF
some other cabinet place.
The chances for a Southern man in
the cabinet have undoubtedly been
strengthened y the detection Of Mr..
Lowden. Other Southern aspirants
are: T. H. Huston and Newell San
ders OF Tennessee and Representative
c. Bascom Slemp of Virginia. The
word mas gone out that Herbert Hoov-
er still is in the cabinet picture, as is
John Hays Hammond, the latter in the
background.
The Southern papers are having
something to say about Southernor
in the cabinet. The Jacksonville
Times-Union says there is a good deal
OF talk about the recognition of tho
South. The appointment of a South
ern man to the cabinet would not be a
recognition Of the South, it says, but
"a recognition of the man appointed"
A recognition of the South, it SAYS.
would be a forgetfulness that there
is any South, a remembrance of the
whole country as the United States of
Harry Daugherty has arrived to be
with his chief in the closing days of
cabinet making. Coincidentally, the
word passed that A. w. Mellon of
Pittsburgh is sure bet for secretary
OF the Treasury, although Mr.. Daugh-
erty did not commit himself to any
views onthis or anything else.

MINE OFFICIALS
Are SENTENCED
SENSATIONAL COAL MINE CASE
is ENDED WITH CoNvIc-
TON OF FIVE.

! Pittsburg, Kan.-Alexander Howat
president of District No. IA, United
Mine Workers of America. was found
guilty OF contempt of court and sen
fenced to serve one year in Jail By
Judge Andrew ]. Curran of the Craw.
ford county District Court.
With Howat were found guilty his
hve codefenGants in the contempt
proceedings, all officers of the Kan.
sas union. They are: August Der.
chey, vice president; Willard Titus,
John Fleming, James McIllwraith and
Hert Maxwell, Executive Board mem
bers. All were sentenced to Jail for
one year.
The calling of strike in two mines.
In violation Of an injunction caused
the contempt proceedings. The strike
resulted from controversy between
the miners union and mine owners
over the age of young miner named
Mishmah. The question of his age af.
fected his rate of pay.
The Injunction was issued last Sep.
tember by Judge Curran, forbidding
union officials from calling a strike.
1t was sought by the state in the en-.
forcement of the Industrial Court law.
Howat and three other officials. one
of them being Dorchey, now are at
liberty on bond while another case is
awaiting hearing in the United States
Supreme Court. They were sent to
Jail last spring when they refused to
obey the order of Judge Curran to
appear before the Industrial Court and
TESTIFY. They were in Jail several
days before they gave bond.
Joe Bierbrodt, George Chipps and w.
l.. Hasson, officers of a Crowberg 10,
cal union, tried recently for CONTEMPT
OF court, were found NOT guilty by
Judge Curran. They were charged
with filming two union members who
appealed a case to the Industrial
Court. Judge Curran held it was not
proved that the members had been
fined.
In his decision Judge Curran said
that the Mackie strike was called to
evade the Industrial Court law. How.
at and the other defendants, the Judge
said, had violated the Injunction and
all are guilty of contempt of court.
Have the defendants any reason
to state why they should not be sen.
tenced?' Judge Curran asked.
Yes Brennan spoke up. The de-
cision does not answer the questions
the defense submitted" /
"Overruled," Judge Curran replied.

OFFENSIVE OPENED
BY BOLSHENSTS
STRIKE FROM THE CAUCASUS
AND SEEK TO JOIN WITH
TURK NATIoNAIISTS.
MENACE TO GREEK POSITION
IL is Reported That the Red Cavalry
Has Already Entered Tifis and Is
Oepioyine Southwark Along
the Railway.

Paris.-The long threatened Bolshe
vik offensive has been unleashed.
The Reds are striking from the
Caucasus and are aiming to establish
| contact with the Turk Nationalist
during the London conference on Asia,
Minor.
! The French Foreign Office has
learned that the Sixth and Ninth Boil.
sheVik armies, supported by General
Pudenny's cavalry corps, are sweeping
into Georgia.
The Georgian government an.
nounces that it has evacuated Tifis
and is fleeing to Warsbaum, where il
expects to receive protection from the
British navy.
1t is reported that Red Cavalry has
already entered Tifiis and is deploy.
ing southwark along the railway,
which is the sole line of communica.
tion into Armenia and Turkey, to-.
ward kars and Erzerum.
The Bolshevists have already estab
hshed contact with Persia, by way OF
AZerbaijan and along the Caspian sea
but that region lacks railroads and op.
erations could be carried on there on.
ly with great difficulty.
The Bolshevists in their present
drive are following the Black sea
and are utilizing railroads whenever
possible.
The collapse Of Georgia removes
the last obstacle between the Reds
and Mustapha Kemal Pasha and
places the Baku oil fields and the pipe
line to Batum in the hands of the
Soviet.
Bolshevik reinforcements or troops
and munitions for Kemal will seri
lously menace the position of the
Greeks at the Smyrna brigehead and
1t is believed will force the British to
consent to the recognition of Kemal
and to proceed with the revision O,
the Sevres treaty.

SEVEN YEARS DELAY
IN SUPREME COURT
JUDGE CLINE URGES REFORM
AND MoDISETTE VOTES
BY MAIL.
HAVE TWO CONSTITUTIONS
Modlsette Would Have Constitution
Changed So That Man Moving In
to This State Would Not Be
Deprived of Suffrage.

Jennings, La.-At a meeting of thj
Rotary Club for its weekly luncheon a
the Madeline Hotel, and a program
arranged by j. w. Heinen was pre-
sented. This program was Some o.
the Reason Tor the Constitutional Con
vention." Judge Jerry Cline, who /.
holding court here at the present
time, was introduced and he spoke oi
some Of the objects of the convention
and touched particularly upon the ex
scutive, legislative and judicial depart
ments. He said, I'VE in reality have
two constitutions at the present time
and that we are badly in need Of a
new one"
He said he was in favor of the con-
stitution being so formed that it would
give the governor the right to ap-
point his cabinet such as secretary of
state and attorney general He said
the judicial department was entirely
inadequate and poorly manned. and it
was quite possible for a case to be
kept in the Supreme Court for six
years.
J. o. Modisette was also one Of the
speakers. He said the constitution
should be changed so a man moving
into this state should not be deprived
OF the right of suffrage for two years.
He thought any man or woman moving
into this state should have the right
to vote after having shown his inten-
tion Of making this his home, in one
year. He sprung something new on
the club by saying that he believed
the ballot would never have sanctity
Il should have until the voting was
done In the home, and that he was in
favor Of having elections by mail. He
made the statement that this was not
new idea of his, but that 1t had been
In use in different points in Europe
already.
J. H. Heinen. who is a delegate to
the Constitutional Convention, said
some of the questions before the con.
vention would be taxation, assess
ments, state institutions, public |
schools, the port of New Orleans; in
act he said there were about a dozen |
very important questions that would
come before this body. He said that
ne thought 1t was time that New Or
leans was coming back into Louisiana,
and there should be no law that would
exclude New Orleans from the state"
mat 1t should not be separate and
apart, but New Orleans should be in
Louisiana just the same as Shreveport,
BATON Rouge, Lake Charles and other
important commercial centers.
He said with the great port in the
metropolis ofthe South that the popu.
iation should be four million instead
cf four hundred thousand.
At this meeting Charles R. Hous-
slere, who is to leave for France in
ABOUT forty-five days, was selected as
delegate to the international con-
vention. which will be held in Edir-
Oursh, Scotland, in June. d. c. Ritchie
vas also selected as a delegate.
