Barracks Have Barbecue
And Community Sing

The Methodist Baraca barbecue and
community sing was notably happy
occasion taking place at Kennedy's
park Thursday. A long line of auto
mobiles took the members, numbering
one hundred and twenty-five, and their
wives out to the grounds about II
o'clock. The officers of the Sunday
school were guests of honor. All join
ed heartily in the musical program
and the woods echoed and re-echoed
with the deep melody of old fashioned
hymns. A male quartette, Messrs. Jen-
nings, Baldwin and Melton, delighted
the assembly with several spirited
numbers.
The barbecue with all the necessary
trimmings proved a veritable feast,
the meats, brunswick stew, etc, being
excellently prepared Photographer
McCollum was present with his cam
era and secured a good picture of the
class and the teacher, Mrs. L. Lamar,
and pianist Mrs. J. S. Lowrey.

made the bright setting for the meet

of Mrs. R. E. Bell an appropriation

state conference was read by the sec
rotary. The meeting was then turned
Weaver. One of the best papers of the
years study of French history was
that prepared and read by Mrs. J. M,
Griggs. The subject, France Made a
Republic" gave broad scope, and the
matter presented was most entertain
ing and instructive. A piano solo, ''At
Spring" was brilliantly rendered by
Mrs. |. P. Cooke. Miss Emily Wilkes
gave, in her immitable way, a reading,
cover the Banisters." Interesting cur
rent events were given by Miss Flor
ence Baldwin.
The social half hour was as usual
season of good fellowship, during
which tempting refreshments were
served by the following hostesses:
Mesdames John Seay, Jonathan Viii
liams, c. H. Peddy, J. M. Rauch, S.
J. Thomas and Drew Dismuke. A num-
Der of the members recently added

JURY DECIDES THAT
OUIJA DOES NOT ISLANDER
Alleged Gossip Of Mysterious Board
No Warrant for Damage Suit.

The ouija board, queer little table
which scampers back and forth across
the alphabet, spelling out the distant
and past and dim future, has no stand
ing in a court OF law. Any advice 1t
gives is not slanderous.
These questions were decided when
Mrs. Frank Walters, Of Poliet, ILL.,,
lost the $4,000 SANDER suit she had
instituted against Mrs. Albert Yost
Mrs. Walters charged that Mrs. Yost
had circulated stories to the effect that
the ouija board had revealed her as

last autumn and stole several pounds
of sugar raisins and potatoes.

Congressman BLantOn's
Popularity in Washington
By BILL PRICE

Congressman BI4ANTONS IS aggressiveness has brought
him the reward of definitely finding out that in the House
he has not single friend Among Government employees
and others in Washington he just popular as the we'll
known rattlesnake. His bitter opposition to better
salaries for Government and District workers, however,
to have softened. He may realize that Govern
ment workers really underpaid and deserve better
treatment from Congress than they get The main part OF
his opposition has been directed against the national Or
ganzation of Government employees being affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor and in that respect
he does not stand alone in Congress 1t is certainty
however, that if fairly treated and remunerated Govern
nent employees would not be put the necessity of organic
ing to protect themselves.
This Texas Congressman has real to fight the
proposition for increase of salaries of Senators and
Representatives. His mistake is in the way he has gone
about it. Aggressive gentlemen of Mr. Banton's type,
always carrying chips their shoulders, are sure OF
trouble and plenty of it, They too often cut loose with
out having the facts before them Yet in spite of the r
taton they these sort of often useful in
Congress and elsewhere Honest though Mr. Blanton is,
he is not the only honest man in Congress.
In spite of the rasping the Texan received in his own
House. he is not yet politically crippled in his dis
rct Like the parrot from which the monkey pulled all
the tail feathers, he will continue to have remarks
to make both in the House and in his district.

need OF inconveniencing herself even
to the extent of paying interest. 1t
is a wonder he did not try to cancel
the principal of this just debt.
U. S. Liberty bonds were issued to
provide the funds for this British
loan. If Britain does not pay the
interest on those bonds Americans
will have to. If Britain does not pay
the principal Americans will have
to. 1t may be inconvenient for the
British to pay, but it would be no
more convenient for Americans, who
got nothing out of the war but debts
and experience.
If we figure that it will cost us
4.75 per cent interest to carry those
bonds, and if we adopt the plan of
amortizing them at the rate of 2T
per cent year, it means that you
ana we, as taxpayers, VIII have TO
provide to clear this British debt,
with its accrued interest, an annual
budget of $313,O69,754.74 the first
year, with subsequent yearly reduc-
tions at the rate of $11 100000.
This would equal a third of the
entire cost of our Federal Govern
ment shortly before the war. 1t
would represent at the outset, on the
average, tax of more than FOUR
TEEN DOLLARS a year on each
American household
Which makes FOURTEEN GOOD
REASONS why this reckless loan
ing of the American peoples money
to foreigners should stop.

4 Finger Cut
andDestructiOn

-HE cackling of geese, we are
told, saved Rome. An APPLE
fall upon the head of snoozing
philosopher led to discovery of the
law Of gravitation. A rain on the
eve of the Battle of Waterloo sent
Napoleon to defeat and ST.. Helena.
A finger cut years ago had much to
do with the destructiveness of the
great war.
You never heard about that finger
cut! Let Edwin E. Slosson tell it
from his fascinating new book,
"Creative Chemistry"
Zone day while working in
Laboratory, Alfred Nobel, Swedish
chemist and a pacifist, cut his
finger. He dissolved
some guncotton in ether alcohol
and swabbed it on the wound"
Let us interrupt here to explain
that guncOtton, dissolved in ether
alcohol, makes a substance called
collodion, which dries over a wound,
forming what looks like a new skin.
cat this point, however, Mr..
Nobel's conduct diverges from the
ordinary, for instead of standing
idle, impatiently waving his hand
in the air to dry the film, as most
people, including chemists, are apt
to do, he put his mind on it and it
occurred to him that this sticky
stuff, slowly hardening to an
elastic mass, might be just the
thing he was hunting as an alb
sorbent and solidifer of nitro
glycerin.
$50, instead of throwing away
the extra collodion that he had
made, he mixed it with nitro
glycerin and found that it set to
jelly. The blasting gelatin thus
discovered was the first Of the
high explosives that have been the
chief factor in modern warfare"
Alfred Nobel made millions from
his ability to put his mind on a
subject and left a great fund to
endow peace makers and literary
chaps,
But his explosive goes marching
on.

and Farmers
FEW years ago California
raisin growers had a hard row

FEW years ago Call1Ornla
raisin growers had hard row
to hoe. 1t made little differ
nee whether they had big crop
little crop or whether times
IRE good or bad. The raisin
lowers made little money (or lost
loney), no matter what the general
bnditions were. Now the California
aisin growers make money whether
heir crop is big one or little one,
md whether times are good or times
Ire bad.
The reason is that the raisin grow
ers no longer sell their crops indi-
vidually to whatever middleman
they can find to sell to. The raisin
growers have compact organiza-
ton with competent business men
at the head, and this organization
takes the entire crop of the members
and markets it to the best advan-
tage. The organization also adver-
tises and uses every legitimate
method to increase the use of raisins.
The result is that where men were
tearing up raisin vineyards in 1912,
other men are now planting more
and more acreage to raisin crops,
and the expectation is that the total
output will be increased at least 80
per cent in the next five years and
doubled by the end of the next ten
years, with the rasin farmers steadi-
ly making good profits.
Now, then, if Eastern farmers
would only initiate the good business
sense of these Pacific Coast raisin
farmers there would not be de-
serted farm east of the Allegheny
Mountains. And the business of
farming on the Atlantic Coast would
again be profitable and inviting. This
last fall hundreds of thousands of
bushels of splendid apples rotted on
the ground under the trees within a
radius Of hundred miles around
New York City, the greatest apple
market in the world. And while this
splendid apple crop was thus rot
ting under the trees, apples grown
in Oregon and Washington and Cali
fornia, and shipped 5000 miles, were
selling readily at 8 and 10 cents
apiece in New York markets.
