Play Given Under Auspices of
American Legion.

"The Microbe of Love-" that dan
gerous and insiduous bug against
which the people of tEdgefeld were
warned last week, is said to be in our
midst, and it is reported that it will
make its appearance, stinging all who
are present, at the Opera House.
The ladies and gentlemen who have
charge Of this mysterious germ, which
works on hard-hearted bachelors
hearts about as quickly as boil wee
vii puncturing a cotton boil and in
simultaneously affects spinsters in a
most peculiarly interesting manner,
declare it is really quite some bug,
and invite all who feel that they are
immune, to be present at the exhibi-
tion and see the bug bite.
Miss Apphin Jackson, a young lady
of much experience and talent in such
work is here each the young peo7
pie who will take part in the play
and direct the production. Special
costumes will be feature of the en-
tertainment, as well as catchy and
appropriate music, and it is safe to
say that the show will be the best
thing of a dramatic nature that has
been seen in Edgefeld for long
time.
The play is unique and most enjoy
able. In fact, it is a "whale of a hit, +"
so check your critical faculties at
the box office when you come in the
door so you may relax and give your
face genuine treat in the way of a
good laugh, for the microbe is going
to have it's final matrimonial drive.
The dignifed bachelors and women
haters of Edgefeld may we'll have
their last stag party for Madam Hy-
men Cupid has arrived and vows she
will not leave single bachelor. She
is in the employment of the spinsters
to help them find husband, and she
is not going to disappoint them in
spite of the fact that a bachelors
club has been organized by the men
of the town to avoid the ladies and
evade matrimony. They employ the
services of Jerimiah Henpeck, who
gives them advice on the subject OF
love and matrimony taken from his
own experience.
The garden party breaks up the
bachelors club and the spinster's
club. for shot of love microbes is
affective in making the bachelors
fall in love with the pretty girls.
The play is given under the aus
pices of the American Legion.

be better now since conditions are
more favorable. Many are doing

SPARR0WS NEST IN AUTO
Farmer Discovers That He Has Been
Carrying II and Eggs
Around.

Rushville Ind.-Rex Innis. a farmer
living west of Rushville, has just dis
covered that he is carrying a>sparrow's
nest with four eggs in 1t around In
his automobile.
A few days ago, when he filed the
gasoline tank under the front seat, he
found the nest neatly tucked in the
corner and securely fastened between
the end. of the tank and the seat. The
mother sparrow had evidently gained
access to the unusual place by flying
up under the seat.
mnis says that he parks his ma
chine In the same place every night
and he presumes that the sparrow sits
on the eggs every night while the ma
chine is not in use. The nest has with
stood the test of all kinds of roads.

deep to dislodge 1t.

Whv "Pot-luck."

When a man offers spur-Of-the-
moment invitation to "come home with
me and take pOt-luck," he is under
stood as meaning that no special
preparation has been made for the
guest, but that the repast will be
whatever chances to be In the house.
But there was time when pot
luck" was actually dished out of pot
and when the guest took his chance of
getting either good meal or very
slim one. In the old days-and the
practice Is still in force in some parts
Of Europe-nothing came amiss to the
family cooking-pOt suspended from the
pot-hoOk in the center of the fireplace.
Everything edible was thrown into
IL, and, to "keeL the pot boiling" the
fire was seldom, If ever, allowed to go
out. When meal-time came, persons
fished for themselves, and whatever
they happened to find was their pot
luck"

FOUNDATION OF ALL SUCCESS
Why II Is Imperative That Youth
Shall Fully Realize the Neces-
sity for Thrift.

The young man who is ambitious for
success in business should understand
first of all the value Of thrift. 1t is
not through the flash Of genius or the
magic of good luck that permanent
and substantial success Is brought
about. But rather there Is combi-
nation of elements of which thrift Is
the fundamental and most important.
Delve as deeply as we may into the
annals of any notable and permanent
business success, and we shall find
that thrift is the framework of the
structure, writes S. w. Strauss, presl-
dent of the American Society Of
Thrift.
This is lesson that every young
man in America today who Is striving
to get ahead in business way should
learn. He must have courage, initia-
tive and restless aggressiveness. He
must have good judgment, equilibrium
and patience. He must have the quail
fly of hard work and the fortitude to
stand knocks and blows. And ut the
very heart and core of all his ACTIVE
ties there must be thrift.-The Thrift
Magazine.

WITNESS TREE GIVEN HONOR
Branches Sheltered Patriots In Lane as

in 1777.

Washington.-TO mark the two hun
dredth anniversary of known data in
connection with the "Witness tree" Of
the Donegal Presbyterian church Of
Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, the
American Forestry association an
lounces that the tree is given a place
in trees hall Of fame. The nominal
ton is made by Martha Bladen Clark.
The Witness Tree chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
has unveiled by the tree monument
and tablet. This tells how the con-
gregation Of the church gathered I'M

REVISION AS PROMISED

Relief from taxation is what the
people want. They voted last Novem-
Der for relief from wisconsin, and
high taxes are largely a result of the
extravagant, manner in which the
Wilson administration conducted both
the war and the peace business of the
government. 1t is impossible for the
Republican administration to put gov
eminent expenditures back to nor
NAL figure in few months, but the
administration is making progress in
that direction. In a corresponding
degree taxation will be reduced. 1t
must be remembered that in the cam
paign of 1920 the Republicans ex-
pressly disavowed and expectation of
Immediately reducing taxes, but they
pledged an immediate revision Of
taxes so that the taxes which dis
courage enterprise and thrift would
be repealed. That much the Repub-
licans can and will accomplish.

TAX THE FOREIGNER ALSO

Europen and Asiatic industries pay
no tax to the United States unless
they pay it through the American
custom houses. Every American in
dustry pays tax, many taxes, to the
Federal, the State and the municipal
governments. Now European nations
are appearing before Congressional
Committees arguing for lower duty
on goods imported to this country. If
they ship their goods in here, Ameri-
can industry will suffer to the extent
that foreign goods supplant American
goods on our own markets. There
fore, they are asking the United
States to relieve them of taxes at
the custom house in order that they
may the more easily destroy Ameri-
can industry. And they think we
might possibly be simple minded
enough to fall for that sort of a
scheme.

NEW ORNAMENTS IN JAPAN

The keel of new japanese ship of
war has just been laid at Camden,
New Jersey. Meanwhile the United
States is largely curtaliing it's own
naval construction. We hope the in,
cidents do not indicate the relative
good faith of the two nations in their
desires for limitation of naval arm
aments.
President Harding's selections of
members of the American delegation
to the ornaments conference have
been hailed with the widest approval.
No stronger quartet could have been
chosen to look after American in
terests.
The list of unemployed is long, but
not as long as it would be if we let
Europeans write our tariff schedules.

WHY.
Ireland L. Worlds Chief Linen
Producing Center

The antiquity of linen is greater
than that of any other textile. It's use
dates back at least to the Pharaohs.
In Ireland, the hand-spinhing and
hand-weaving of linen were carried on
lin cottage and castle for centuries be-
fore the introduction of the power
loom raised an occupation of the, home
to the position of great staple indus
try. So far back as the Fifteenth CEN
fury linen was mentioned as one Of
the principal branches Of trade in the
country and linen was exported from
Belfast FROM the earliest days of the
port. Through many phases of his
tory the industry was fostered, but it
was not until after the discontinuance
Of the linen board In 1880 that any at
tempt was made to introduce ma
chinery. BY 1859 between 5000 and
1900 power looms were at work. Then
came the American Civil war and
with Lancashire unable to get cotton
an enormous demand for linen was
created. In 1870 close to $4,000 power
looms were weaving linens and the
industry was firmly established. In
1912 the number of looms had In
creased to 36942 and the number of
flax spindles in ireland was 924,S17.
Today Ireland is the chief linen
producing center Of tn world. This
position is insured partly by the eli
mate Of the northeast province. which
Is ideal for the manufacture Of linen,
but an equally important factor is the
hereditary skill Of the linen workers
throughout Ulster. In the days Of
Charles 1 premiums were offered to
induce skilled workers from France
and the Netherlands to settle in Ire
land and Irish workers were sent to
the continent to acquire knowledge of
the best methods Of manufacture.
Families brought from Brabant, from
France and Jersey settled, 1t is said,
in Carrick on Belfast Tough and their
skill has been handed down through
generation after generation.

Why Slight Shock May Be Fatal.

1t is astonishing how slight an cleo
trio shock may cause death. Dana,
Pierce, vice president Of the Ameri-
can Society Of Safety Engineers,
states that there are some well au-
thenticated cases Of fatal shock from
a voltage Of 40, the usual lamp cir
cult voltage. The danger Is believed
to be small to persons in fair physical
condition unless the contact made
with the circuit Is extremely good
and Is long continued.
"A voltage of 300 is, Of course,
more dangerous. At 440 volts and
over the hazard becomes very real
and anything over 600 or 1000 volts
must be treated with respect and con-
slant caution. 1t Is not possible to
say where real danger begins, nor Is
Il necessary, ut least over $50 volts"

Why People Laugh.

Certain things in the world, wheth-
er they are funny, ludicrOus, or things
that produce the laughing effect,
cause the brain to work certain mus
cles and nerves In a combination that
produces laugh. 1t is like a mu-
steal instrument. When combina-
ton of notes Is struck, 1t. produces
sad or joyful tones. In the same way,
the impression sent to the brain will
start the proper combination and In
stantly the brain sends out the laugh"
order. Some things make some
people laugh, while they do not affect
others. That Is because our brains are
not always the same, In regard to re-
corded impressions.

500 RAPIDS NO MORE
Once NavigabIe Stream Reduced
to Rocks and Pools.
streamiets Where Once Angry
Torrents Ragged.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.-MOdern en-
cheering has broken the prestige Of
the old-time 500 rapids, reducing to
rocks and shallow pools stream
which, In the days before the civil
war, schOOners piled with no fear Of
hitting bottom.
Completion of the last of the COM
pensating dams above the rapids has
brought to the surface moss-clad rocks
hidden for centuries, and it is now pos
sible to wade across a space where. In
1852. there was stream of such re-
spectacle volume that the sailing
schooner Uncle Sam passed easily.
Capitulation of the rapids, which has
drawn nearer and nearer during
seventy years, reached It's climax with
startling quickness recently when.
within an hour after the closing OF
the dam, the rapids became gaunt
rock and discOnsolate rivulets.
The scent of fish and moss filed the
air. In pools were some unwary crea-
lures Of the water who had not fled In
time, and anglers FASTENED for their
kits. Most of the fish in the rapids
had taken refuge in the lower river
as the water receded.
But the passing of the rapids brings
some JOY, for fishermen believe the re-
manning pools, some of them several
feet deep, will attract the rainbow and
speckled trout. and that these will be
more easily shared.
Dams above the rapids were con-
structed to regulate the depth Of Lake
Superior and to obtain steady drift
Of water in the locks.

and Great Britain is once more an
avowed exponent Of the protective
tariff. 1t is time the United States
