America Helps.
While Bremen is paralyzed, Ham
burg is rapidly regaining its I'M
portance as one of the great ports
of the world.
In the year before the war one
American ship of 5000 tons came to
Hamburg. Last year 276 American
ships cleared here, totaling over
100000 tons.
What the war did to Hamburg
may be told in two sentences. In 1913
more than 10000 ships came to this
port and their tonnage exceeded a.
100000. Last year 4808 vessels
came and their tonnage was under
100000.
But this year, thanks largely to
activities of American shipping con-
Germs, Hamburg has advanced to a
point where it is doing about 60 per
cent of its great pre-war business.
To complete the picture of what
American enterprise is doing here,
in the former German and now free
city of Dantzig, practically all the
ships which carry goods to and from
America fly the American flag. Back
in 1913 no American ships entered
that harbor
The depreciation in the value of
the mark, which in so many ways is
ia curse to Germany, is a blessing
for the shipping companies. They
pay their seamen in marks and get
paid themselves in foreign money
that has a much higher value.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
STOCKHOLDERS MEET

The Stockholders Of the Commercial
club held a meeting at the city hall
Monday afternoon. They accepted the
resignation of Earl H. Lauderdale as
secretary of the club. They decided
to return the money of those who sub
scribed to membership in the Com
munity Club, as on account of lack OF
support from the citizens they were
unable to raise the required quota.
The Commercial club will continue
to be managed on the old lines in
stead of on the charged scale which
they hoped to be able to put through
with paid secretary to look after
community affairs.
1t is too bad to drop this fine COM
munity project, but unless they could
have the cooperation of all the people
of the town it was useless to push
the matter.

Deuris lies along the lower bridg-
es Of San Antonio river and Alazan
creek may give up several bodies and
some may have been swept beyond
the city limits. Police, firemen and
volunteers worked all day today 60
ing through the piles of wreckage and
their work is not yet completed. The
three floods were along the course of
San Antonio river, Martinez and
Alazan creeks.
San Pedro creek also was lar be-
yond its banks by back-water, but the
other streams were swift torrents
which swept through homes and busi-
ness places at such velocity that few
who were caught in the swirling wat
ers were able to escape.

vices of Henry A. Stine, who is not
only a careful driver, but is also,
good guide, being thoroughly familiar
with all the places mentioned in the
famous book and very accommodating
in letting his parties look their fill.
The road winds around through the
hills in the pasture land OF this region,
through many gates. Glimpses OF
Dewey Bald, the highest hill in the
vicinity are seen on the way. Reach
ing this monster hill, the road winds
around high above the surrounding
country and the tourist catches his
breath with awe at the wonderful
panorama spread before his view. Mr..
Stine stopped his car about 300 yards
frmo Sammy's Lookout and led the
party around to this noted spot
Standing on the ledge, the tourist
looks across to Campton Ridge on the
extreme top of which the guide point

the sky line, which he said was the
home ON Mandy Ford, Sammy Lanes
friend. To the left of the look out,
down the valley was the jim Lane
cabin. To the right and in front of
the lookout is Mutton Hollow. Other
lookouts on the mountain are just as
fine, but Sammy probably liked TO
look across to the home Of her friend.
The signal tree is on top of Dewey
Bald, large OAK standing by itself.
Leaving the lookout the party drove
around the ridge past the Matthews
cabin and the graveyard.
Marvel Cave. d
They drove on to Marvel Cave, but
on account of lack of time, could not
explore it, as it takes two hours to
go through this wonderful cavern.
1t is worth the drive, however, just
to see the entrance. Opening from the
top of the hill, is a great moss covered
bluff. Many steps take the tourist
down to the great cave itself, On
platform there the party peered into
the great depths, from which came a
cold mist. Leaving the cave, the
party drove to Reeds Spring, where
they took the train for home.
They are many other places OF
interest to be seen in this interesting
White River Country and many tour
lists visit the region. BransOn is also

Pluck rides into the hearts of
his admirers on one of the most
smoothly running motion picture
vehicles yet built ror the silver

Colorado PLUCK" boasts a lati-
tude extending from the "every-
man-his-own-law' atmosphere Of
the typical mining camp of from
tier days in the west to the con-
fined atmosphere of European no.
bility. In it there are said to be
two thrills for every sigh, and two
thrills for every laugh.
Colorado Pluck" is the story OF
a successful western miner who
visits New York's famous Gay
White Way, and eventually goes 10
England and marries a daughter of
nobility-and therein his worries
begin. The luckless miner soon
realizes his money, not he, was the

margins, and he decides that his
arrogant wife must accompany him
