A BIRD OF A STORY.

Lieut.. Chester Lewis of St. Glars
vile, O., executive officer of the u.
S. S. Paducah, is responsible for the
following. While the Paducah' was at
the Isle of Pines one of the blue
jackets captured a peacock, which
was placed aboard when they started
north.
The peacock took to roosting on
the radio shack and now is minus the
cne part Of its decorations for which
a peacock is noted-its tail. One
night after the peacock had gone to
roost, the radio operator turned on
the "juice" and started sending mes
sages. s... ........ ....
The beautiful tail of the peacock
was in line with the spark and the
feathers caught fire, considerable of
the tail being burned off. However,
the fire, according to Lewis, was dis
covered and part of the Atlantic
Ocean was used in extinguishing the

CRATE
FOR SWEET POTATOES

Columbia July 16.-The Annual
Report of the South Carolina Sweet
Potato Association, brings out clear
ly the necessity for using a certain
size of crate for shipping sweet po-
tatoes in order to secure the advan-
tage of low freight rate to market.
The railroads serving the state, in
conference with the Association,
have decided on a standard contain
er for shipping sweet potatoes, and
any deviation from this standard, in
the matter of size, will cost the ship
per extra money to reach his market.
The size of the standard crate is
12''x12'x8 3-4" inside the measure.
ment.
Many of the pending claims of the
Association against the railroads
covering last years business are for
the use OF off size containers by
member houses.
One sure way to make money is
to save it by careful purchasing, and
this way is within the reach Of every
thinking man. Make more money for
yourself this season by using the
standard crate. e.. r.,
The prices quoted for the standard
crate for use this year run from
IL 1-2 to "a cents. The price paid
last year for the wire bound five
peck crate was rs cents.
The Association will act as the
agent of its member. houses in pur-
chasing crates this year. To secure
the lowest prices for crates and in.
sure deliveries not later than the
middle Of October, the contracts fol
crates must be let without delay.
The South Carolina Development
Board that is behind the Association
this year, and is pushing the cooper
ative marketing Of the sweet potato
crop, has at its room for the inspec-
tion Of all interested growers, q full
line of sample crates. Furthermore,
it will be pleased to answer any in
quiries on the subject Of crates. -

DEAD MANS WEDDING
ANNULLED AFTER TANGLE

Seattle, Wash, July ia dead
mans marriage has been annulled in
the superior court here by Judge Ev-
erette Smith.
Mrs. Winifred A. Hill, widow of
Geo. D. Hill, who died at Victoria,
B. c., September Is, 1914, presented
a petition to have this marriage
declared void because since his death
she had learned that former hus-
band, whom she believed dead, was
alive.
The decree, one of the most pecu-
liar in the annals of the local. courts
was granted after J. P. Ball, attor-
ney for Mrs. Hill, had cited a recent
decision of the state supreme court
giving authority for the granting of
DEGREES making certain marriages
void from inception, even though one
of the parties to it should be d eceas-
ed.
The facts of this unusual case, as
testified in court, were as follows:
The woman had married in the
, sos. She had three children. Her first
husband died. In 1892, at Norwood,
N. Y, she married for the second
time. She and her second husband,
Myron C. Andrews, lived together
until 1896, when as she alleged, be-
cause Of his cruel treatment, she left
him.
a#, In 1904 Mrs. Andrews moved 70
[ Calgary, Alta. In 1907 she was in
ormed by reliable sources that An
drews had died. =,
She remained a widow, or thought
she did, until July %, 1912, when in
Seattle she was married to George D.
] HiR. 4
s13 After Hilps death in Victoria,
two years LATER, she returned to
Seattle. In 1919 she learned that An
drews was living in New York.
But the status Of things worried
Mrs. Hill, or Mrs. Andrews. She had,
quite innocentIy, contracted a biga-
nous marriage, to which Hill had
been a party two years and Of which
he died unenlightened. She consulted
i counsel and was told that the Hill
marriage could be declared void.
Judge Smiths decree restored to
the woman the name Of Winifred
Adell q. Andrews and made her again
the wife of the man whose widow she
had supposed herself-the man she

DEMISE OF MARRIAGE
IMMINENT SAYS SCIENTIST

Paris, July 16.-Old maids are 60
ing to rule the world within another
generation and when that happens all
sensible men, looking for happy ex-
istences, will try to flee this earth
and try out the planet mars. ...
This is the opinion of Professor
Girault, probably the best known
French authority in political economy
who. has just addressed his beliefs to
the University of Poitiers.
"Women are going to assume. lead
ership, particularly in Europe for
the next hundred years." says Pro-
fessor Girault. "This does not mean
that civilization is becoming effemin-
ate, nor does it result simply from
the fact that women will be numeri-
cally stronger. But there are too
many women for the manageable
males and hundreds of thousands OF
them are being compelled to make
ill-assorted marriages in which the
man, in nearly every case, is the
weaker partner. ,#s.. -.
sIn that way women are gaining
the ascendancy and it is a certainty
that any society ruled by women viii
lack intellectual course, logic and
initiative. Women married to mer
who are their interiors will become
embittered with life. Their experience
will discourage other women who are
thinking Of marriage. Presently We
will find d whole body Of women
