Appointments Next Meeting

The Iron County Agricultural Soc
iety was on hand TO ask for an appro-
priation of $4,000 to help pay the ex-
penses OF conducting the fair and
maintaining the fair grounds. Accord
ing TO unofficial statements the re-
ceipts from admissions, etc az the
fair this year aggregated about $1,000
and the total expenses. including In
terest on something like $4,000 worth
OF bonds amounts TO about 1,050. The
fair asked for an appropriation OF
$4,000 and that appropriation was
granted them. There is still balance
OF $500 due which no one seems TO
know how Il is TO be paid ultimately
unless another appropriation is made

INDICATIONS ARE THAT WINTERS
WORK WILL Be RESTRICTED
MANY LOGS ON LANDINGS
Mills Are Hoping For a Drop in
Freight Rates That Will Allow
the Logs to be Shipped

Iron county is TO see a very restrict
ed logging program the coming winter
IL present conditions cast the true
shadow. There will be some logs har-
vested but the operations will be very
much restricted with those that do
operate and many will cut no timber
at all.
The number OF logs lying on the
landings along the railroads in the
peninsula is one reason for the re-
stricted output that is presaged. Mills
that contracted for logs last winter
have not yet taken the logs that were
cut fo- them and this fact acts as
-damper upon future operations. II Is
pretty certain that all OF last years
timber will be taken by the operators
but the loss due 10 the deterioration
OF logs and the culling that is practic-
ed is reducing the loggers' profit to Z
loss in most cases.

INCREASED COSTS or GOVERNMENT
ALL AROUND THE C
FAIR GOT AMPLE ASSISTANCE
No Appointments Made to Various
Vacant Offices in The
County List

The tax rate will be a trifle higher
all over this year as result OF the in
creased cost of government all around
The city rate would be lower than last
year excepting for the charge back
taxes that include large sum on the
Lot property
The tax rate last year was .039 and
this year II is .04O3 which is but a
very small increase considering the
greater taxes raised in several OF the

Much Lumber Moving

There Is a lot OF lumber moving
but It is at prices that leave no profit
for that cut from timber harvested
during the past two years. The upper
grades OF hardwood Is commanding
not more than half the price OF year
ago and the lower grades is drug on
the market.
Western lumber has advanced in
price due TO the fact that much OF the
stock that was forced out has been ab-
so-bed. This fact is making hemlock
somewhat stronger than II was during
the summer. In addition there is a
big demand due 10 the house bull Y is

The railroads are buying ties In

INSPIRING TALK
BY DR.. FOSTER
"Y. w. Man in College and
University Activities Delivers
Interesting Lecture Here.

tary of the Northern Baptist Board,
who is now lecturing over the coun-
try in various COLLEGES and universe
ties as a ~. W. Man." was one of us
on the campus last Sunday and Mon
day. During his stay here, he gave
us several stirring talks on demo-
cratizing religion and bringing about
the Kingdom of God on earth,
On being introduced at Vespers,
Sunday night, DR.. Foster instantly
won our hearts by his geniality and
lfriendliness; and our interest by his
appeal to us as women who are pur-
posing to go out into the world. AS
result of this first meeting, when he
spoke Monday evening, it was to a
group deeply interested in anything
which he might say about present Soc
ial conditions and our part in better
ing them.
The underlying purpose of his talks,
whether in religious gathering or a
civic class, was the appeal to us to
have a definite, unselfish purpose in
our hearts, and determination to
make our lives worth living. He en-
phasized the fact that we are paint
ing picture with every day, and that
each act is a daub of paint placed
en- it. The aim that we have in life
will determine whether it will be a
hopeless smear or masterpiece when
we have finished. With the under
standing of. what life can be, and the
opportunity that we have here for
training it is not necessary that our
pictures be failures.
A striking phase of DR.. Fosters
charming personality was shown y
his ability to adapt himself to the diff
ferent groups in which he found him.
self. It made no difference whether
it was a sociology class, civics class
a Shakespeare class or any other, he
always had some appropriate and in,
tensely interesting matter for dis
cussion. A good example of this is
shown by quotation which he gave
us from H. G. Wells, IN appealing t.
us to get at the soul of literature snt
! to live it. Wells says: "Wisdom pass

Carl Faust of the Jackson Rotary
Club, and w. X. Kerrin, of the Clarks-
dale Rotary Club, announced as rival
candidates for the high position of
governor of the fourteenth district,
and present indications are that one
of the two will be elected to serve at
the convention which opens here on
March 81.
Mr.. Faust is past president of the
Jackson Club, and is chairman of the
1921 program committee for the
vention, having prepared most inter-
esting series of events for the big
meeting, He has been leader in the
Boys Work feature of Rotary for
many years.
Mr.. Herrin formerly was president
Of the Clarksdale Club. is now vice.
president, and long has been promi-
nent in Rotary activities. The rivalry
for the high office is confined to
friends of the two candidates, and is
of the most friendly character. Both
delegates attended last years conven-
ition at Pine Bluff, Ark.
Hattiesburg citizens are hard at
work decorating the city for the pro-
gressive and wide-awake Rotarians
who will come here the end of the
month from three states. Reports are
that more than 600 delegates will be
in attendance.

spirit experienced the pride and
achievement gained by hard work.
The slower and more material
movements of the student body were
broken into by 1.-THE gracefulness OF
the normal gym girls. As a rush Of

There is certain fascination at

They have grace and many tantalizing

DETAILED ACCOUNT OF HEROIC ACT
OF JACK SENTER AT DAYTONA BEACH

Following is a detailed account o.
Mr.. Jack Senter's heroic act in saw

by Mr.. Senter's many friends at HON,
who applaud and commend him fol-
his manly and courageous action. The
Daytona report follows:

of the Battle Creek, (MichJ Moon.

Senter of the Columbus, Miss Com
mercial. AS it was Mr.. Deliver and
Mr.. Senter were badly laceiated in
rescuing the younger of the trio, who
is but eleven years old. The fact
that all, including the boy, are good
swimmers alone is responsible for
their being saved.
The Delivers were bathing in the
surf, just before noon, when Mr.. Dol
liver, who is quite familiar with ocean
swimming, found himself in the I'M
dertow. He yelled to his son to swim
to the shore and the boy started, but
said he could not make it, owing to
the force of the undertow. He then
told the boy to turn around and swim
ahead of him to the pier, some three
yards away. Both managed to reach
the pier and Mr.. Dolliver securing a
grip with his legs. held the boy above
his head until they could attract at
tention. AS Mrs. Dolliver was on the
beach, the troubled swimmers would
not give the traditional cry of Help,
Help" but called to fishermen on the
pier above to aid them. The latter,
not realizing that both were in dam
ger, paid no attention. Four members
of the N. E. A. party then started to
the rescue, but when they, too, struck
the undertow, two turned to shore Ia
save themselves. The fourth, Mr.. Sen.
ter, reached the pier, bat was so ey-
hausted that he, too, had to get a tee
