SOLDIERS HOME
BEAUYOR, MISS.
HANDSOME BOOK JUST IS
SUED TELLS STORY OF
IT'S ESTABLISHMENT
MRS. WILBUR JONES
Is Author OF Book OF One
Hundred And Fourteen Pages
That Will Interest All
True Southerners.

All true Southeners will be inter
ested in the new book just issued
from the press Of the Hattiesburg
American Historic Bcauvoir. The
author is Mrs Wilbur Moore Jones,
Of the Mississippi Woman's College
at Hattiesburg.
. In book Of Id pages, Mrs. Jones
tells the story Of the Confederate
Soldiers Home in language that is
beautiful and accurately descriptive
Of the refuge Of portion Of the
great army Of the South. The book
contains thirty-two full-page Illus
trations, and a panoramic view Of the
home and grounds.
Jefferson Davis is the central figure
Of Beauvoir His daily life, his
friendships, his religion, his last days
as he went among his friends and
neighbors are so related that the
reader is sure to carry away a lasting
image Of this great man, one who
was gentle and considerate, yet a
man of power"
Good use is made Of effective quota
tions in the chapters on "The Struggle
for Beauvoir" and "Boauvoir Today"
In this age of iconoclastic history it
is pleasing to be re-assured that Mrs.
Davis was devoted to Mississippi and
the idea Of making Beauvoir historic
shrine for the Southland,
The closing chapter Of the book
tells Of "Beauvoir Tomorrow" The
most sluggish imagination must thrill
at the hope Of the United Daughters
Of the Confederacy making "Beauvoir
House the place for keeping intact
the articles Of household use that
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis and Winnie used
and to which they were tenderly and
sentimentally attached.
Aside from its excellence as a his
tory, at once trustworthy and attrac-
tive, Historic Beauvoir" deserves to
leap into immediate and immense
popularity because Of the beauty Of
It's typographical appearance and its
general intrinsic excellence. The fine
quality Of the paper, the clear print
and embossed cover all combine to
produce a work Of rare distinction and
value.
Mrs Jones did not write Historic
Beauvoir' for profit, but the money
derived from its sale will be used by
he United Daughters of Mississippi
n the very laudable and commendable
work of perpetuating Southern his
.ory, especially that part of Southern
history that has to do with the life
md times of President Davis.
The author very fttingly dedicates
he book to Mrs. A. McClurg KIM
,rough, Of Greenwood, "Whose
strength Of mind, greatness of heart,
and nobility Of purpose have made
ler life a benediction to Beauvoir."

The fame of our illustrious Cen

mingham, Ala, both wrote to Mr..

gestions and advice to other munich
palities. The latest inquiry received

OPPOSITION TO PEACE
TREATIES SHOWS UP
ables" Open Fight Against Pres
ident Harding's Pacts.

Washington, Sept 23.-Opposition
to the peace treaties negotiated re-
Gently by the administration with Ger
many, Austria and Hungary developed
when the senate foreign relations
committee began consideration of the
pacts transmitted Wednesday by
President Harding.
Senator Borah (Rep.), Idaho, leader
Of the "irreconcilables" in the fight
against the treaty of Versailles, ex-
planned the basis Of his opposition to
ratification of the new treaties to the
committee, which considered only the
German pact and adjourned until Fri
day without taking any action.
Senator Borah's objections to the
new peace arrangement, it was said,
were based primarily on the accept
ance in the new pacts of provisions Of
the treaty of Versailles. The effect,
it vas understood, Senator Borah con-
tended was to take America through
the back instead of the front door,
into European entanglements.
Reports from the committees ex-
ecutive session were that Senator b.
rah cOntended that ratification Of the
new treaties would entail moral If
not legal obligation to retain Ameri-
can troops In Germany. Another ma
jor point Of his opposition was said
to revOlve around American repre-
sentatiOn on the PREPARATIONS commits
sion. Appointment of such an Ameri-
can commissioner, he was said to have
argued, would follow necessarily and
hold American representation in Eu-
rOpean financial affairs, entailing in
terest in Europe's political problems,
for at least forty years-the period
fixed for payment Of the German In
demnity.
The points brought out by Senator
BOrah were said to have been re-
ceived with particular interest from
Senators johnson (Rep.) Of Califor-
MIA, Brandegee (Rep.) Of Connecticut
and Shields (Dem.) of Tennessee. 9th

TOP or7THE EARTH.

Much interest is felt among
geographers and travellers in the pro-
posal to scale the worlds highest
mountain, Everest, in the Hima-
iayas. The difficulties are not mini
mized, and they are Of several sorts.
Nobody has climbed to this great
-height-S9, Oo9 feet-except in avia-
ton; and there is no landing for a
plane on such summit. The wealth
er at the top of this distant and diff
ficult pinnacle is most treacherous,
and the extreme rarefaction Of the
air viii make an extra supply of
oxygen necessary. The country
which must be traversed to reach the
peak is beset with tribal strife and
political Vaccination, and the
mountaineer's manila rope may sue
cumb- to the breaking-strain before
red tape gives way.

CHINESE OIL WELLS POOR.

It has been known for a long time
that there we're oil wells near Yen
chang, in Shensi, near the Shensi
border, where several small oil wells
give about 5000 gallons month,
and small Chinese refinery makes
a fairly good product, marketed To-
cally, and at Sianfu. However, as
engineers sent over by an American
company in 1914 reported that oil
did not exist there in sufficient guam
titles to make extensive development
profitable, little has been attempted.
