Georgia Mans Assertion Concerning

diana Product Gaspina.

Harry Grimsley, Terre Haute Ro-
tary club man, comes from Georgia
and is still in love with his native
state. He boasts of its wonders, and
the last time he discoursed on it, was
telling of the wonderful bargains he
got In watermelons. "Why, we got
the very biggest ones for only five
CENTS" he said.
But they aren't SO big as the ones
We have up here" persisted one Of his
listeners. why. out on my farm we
had some half as big around as half
the top Of this table. We didn't eat any
of 1t except the. core. and yet the
whole family had enough Of 1t and
more"
Down there" drawled Mr.. Grims-
ley in his most southern drawl, I'VE
never eat nearer than two feet of the
rind Of the melon and yet there's
always more than enough for fam
lily in one melon" News.

WHERE WILL YOUR BOY 60
AND WHO WILL HE MEET!

These are questions of great i'm
portance to every parent as the boy
goes out from the home life into the
more independent and hazardous life
of the city or college. Where will
he go"-when at leisure or disconso-
late and discouraged, and "Who will
meet him? Much may depend on the
answer to those two questions.
The Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton has service by which your son
will be met, interviewed and well
coined, introduced to association men,
Christian people and in general made
to feel that some one is interested in
him aside from those who wish to
make profit out of him.
DR.. Angus Taylor of our city has
been secured to serve as local repre-
sentative of this Association and is
supplied with report blanks. Is it
not worth while Mr.. Reader, for you
to cooperate? If you know of any
boy or young man leaving town could
you not get the facts to this local
representative and thus render a SER
vice to your own or some ones else
boy. Where he goes and who meets
him may depend on you.

Sacred Mohammedan Rock.

A report on the Dome of the Rock
OF Jerusalem Is shortly to be pub
lished and will be of great interest to
the Mohammedan world. 1t may not
be generally known that this place is
the third in sanctity of all the sanctp-
aries Of Islam. and indeed for a short
period 1t actually formed the Kibla
toward which all Moslems prostrated
themselves in prayer.
Among the more important religious
associations of this rock we may men,
tion 1t was here that David and Solo
mon were called to repentance, and
on account Of a vision David chose
this site for his temple. From this
same spot Mohammed ascended to the
seventh heaven after his night journey
from Mecca. and lastly 1t is to be the
scene of the Great Judgment. The
historical associations are not less
striking and such famous names az
Omar Abdel-Malek, Saladin and Sulei-
man are all connected with the rock.

Predatory Bird Carried off Pod Con
tanning Precious Seed That Pro
duced Burbank Potatoes.

Luther Burbank recently told Colo
rado potato men story of his discov-
cry of the world-famous Burbank po-
tato, which has only recently come to
light. While Burbank was expert
menting with potatoes about twenty
years ago he noticed In his patch one
plant which held one particularly
promising pod of seeds. To his prac-
ticed eye these seeds and the plant
which bore them would contain the
germ of new and excellent potato.
If he had thought 1t necessary he
would have put watchman over this
one small seed ball. As it developed
later, the money that would have been
required for watchman would have
been but minute drop of silver in
the ocean Of gold which this one pod
was destined to produce.
Every morning Burbank would go
to the patch to see how the pod was
faring, and often during each day he
would look at the plant to discover
the time when the pod could be
picked.
One morning he went into the patch
and the pod was gone. With the help
OF workmen he searched for it. Final
fS after hunting for hours. 20 feet
away from the plant, In the midst of
other plants. the pod was found.
Il think bird must have picked
It on and tried to carry 1t away" Mr..
Burbank told the Colorado potato men.
anyhow, there 1t lay, and l picked 1t
up and planted the seeds. and that's
how we have Burbank potatoes to-
day."

HIccOUeH HALTiNe MADE EASY
Try This Plan On Your cls~icIe

Paris, Feb. 1.-The official method
for preventing or stopping the hic-
coughs has been announced by the
medical society of French hospitals.
1t is the simplest thing in the
world. Even child can operate it.
Here is all there is to it as put by
the famous French doctors:
Place the index finger on the left
subclavicular hollow several fractions
of an inch above the middle clavicle.
Then press carefully the fifth cervi-
cular nerve, whereupon the hiccough-
ing will cease.
Note Sounds good and if some Of
our doctors will translate 1T into
common English we might try it if
we ever succeeded in getting any
thing that would cause the hiccoughs.

MoAdoo May Be Hise ed BY Mexico 7
Rebuild Country's Railroads

NoO0Hu OOuutGyS N8lutOA08
Washington, Feb. 1--Mexico is me-
gotiating with William G. McAdoo to
rehabilitate and take charge Of her
state railroads, it was learned au-
thoritatively here today.
McAdoo is now in Mexico as a guest
of President Obregon and may stay
there Indefinitely.
He is accompanied by his wife and
Jouctt Shouse, former assistant Sec
retary of the treasury and now one Of
TIE officials of the Mexico Orient rail-
way. projected between Kansas City,
Mo-, and Guaymas and Sonora.
The invitation to McAdoo is looked
upon here as a move by Obregon to
gain recognition from this govern
ment. Obregon, it is said, realizes he
must stabilize Mexico financially and
industrially to get such recognition
With this end in view negotiations
were begun with McAdoo, who knows
both railroads and finances and whose
employment would react favorably in
this country and in foreign capitals
McAdoo took the suggestion under
consideration and it is understood an
arrangement calling for his employ
ment for several years at salary Of
$4,000 year or greater may be
worked out.

aster that has ever befallen the race
of man to gather together in this
country more than one-half of all the
gold on earth and to establish them
selves as the absolute masters of in
ternational credit. They were able
to do this thru advancing the cost of
living and appropriating the plunder
so taken from American consumers
as profits, and then by converting
these profits into the war debts of
practically all of the nations.
This Wall Street ultimatum is that,
the state shall enter an agreement to
limit its activities In publicly owned
enterprises to tie amount of seven
million dollars, and will agree to re-
wise the industrial legislation under
direction Of the attorneys Of the
bond selling gamblers. then the seven

world to the free hand of the plum
derbund.
The state of North Dakota has re-
fused to sell its soul for seven mil
lion dollars worth of "pottnge" or to
betray the useful workers of Amer
lea. This reasonable, arrogant, un-
endurable insult to the state of
North Dakota carries with it the
most serious reflection upon the
character Of every other state in the
Union. One cannot avoid the infer
ence that North Dakota alone has
been sent this demand for complete
surrender to Wall Street and its at

others have already done SO.

GIRLS WAR ON TOBACCO
Brings Retaliation Against Low
Waists and Paints from Illinois
Boys
lBy Associated Pressl

Mattoon, ILL.,. Jan. 29.-Dan Cupid
is finding his bows and arrows are
thus far useless against the hearts
of the girls of the West Side Chris
tian church of this city who have
formed club not to keep company
with boys who smoke cigarettes or
use tobacco In any form.
The club is continuing to grow, ac-
cording to it's sponsor, Edward Nc
Kee, superintendent of the Sunday
school of that church, and though a
marked decrease in the number of
matches" is noted, according to Mr.
Mckee, quite a few local boys have
given up the bad habit.
Dan Cupid's second and hardest
blow-the blow that sent him reeling
dizzily when a number of boy
students at the Mattoon high school
retaliated by forming an opposing
organization to try to make out of
the girls of today "the kind of girls
our mothers we're"
1t was at meeting of the Chris
tian Endeavor society a week age
that Mr.. Mckee urged the girls to
sign pledges not to keep company
with boys who fused the weed
Twenty-Five pledges were signed inn
mediately and during the past week
the club grew in leaps and bounds
The Christian Ehdeavor society girls
now hope to induce every girl ir
town to join their ranks.
"Do you want to stand around
while some boy is smoking a cigaret
or walk up the street with him as
he bangles the silly thing in his teeth
or do you want to smell the nasty
smoker" they argued. The answer
they say, is usually ~no" and a new
signer to the pledge is obtained.
1t was then that the boys decided
something must be done. They missed
seeing their sweethearts and num-
ber Of the male students at the local
high school formed club, the mem
bers signing pledges as follows:
II do solemnly affirm that / will
not court girl who persists In:
Wearing knee-length skirts.
"Wearing low cut waists below the
point where mother wore them when
she was girl.
wearing silk stockings.
"Using paint or rouge.
Attending dances minus her cor
set.
Pulling out her eyebrows or wear
ing her hair in such style so as to
hide her ears"
Mr.. Mckee looks upon the boys
Organization as merely bluff club
to frighten the girls out of their
stand against tobacco"
at would be a good thing, though y
he added, "if something like that
could be done. We need more girls
today like our mothers"
In the meantime, both sides are
holding firm, according to members,
and much good is being done," ac-
cording to Mr.. Mckee.
"This is not temporary movement
on the part of the girls" said Mr..
Mckee. "They are in earnest"
$50 are we," retaliated the boys.

More About the Educationsl Meeting
In response to an invitation sent
out by the U. C. Sunday School about
dozen men and two dozen women,
principally parents, met at that
church last Sunday afternoon to dis
cuss matters concerning the best in
terests of their boys and girls.
Mrs. w. E. Nash has just been
elected Superintendent of the Sunday
School for this year and is anxious
to have the help of many men and
women not now in the school. Mrs.
E. 0. Wilson will have charge of the
singing which they wish to make an
attractive feature of the school.
Mr.. w. E. Bragg, formerly super
intendent of this Sunday School and
now in the educational and social SER
vice work of the c. F, & l. Co., spoke
at some length emphasizing the great
value of the Sunday School and also
of the public school in developing
boys and girls into the best type of
men and women. He called attention
to the wonderful opportunity and
consequently the great responsibility
of the teachers in both of these and
urged those present to cooperate
with the public schools and partic-
ularly to join the Sunday School.
A number of those present took
part in the discussion and showed
much interest in these matters. Con-
siderable enthusiasm was shown
when nearly every man and almost
every woman by the uplifted hand in
dicated their purpose to join the Sun
day School and amid the clapping Of
hands selected Captains to choose
sides in a RED and Blue" contest to
increase attendance at Sunday School.
Everybody not belonging elsewhere
should unite in this effort to get
boys, girls and adults into this Sun
day School. It is good work and
will do you good. Be there next Sun
day at ten o'clock a. m, and bring
some one else with you.

Hughie Well Recalled
Babe Adams Of
1909 Series

Hey, Hughie, do you remember
that pitcher?" yelled a fan in the
grand stand at Forbes Field, Pitt>
burgh, the other day when Baa=
Adams entered the box for the Pi-
rates in the fifth inning Of the lass
game of the Giant-Pirate series.
Hughie Jennings, coaching on the
first base line, looked up in the di-
rection whence the cry came and
nodded smilingly.
Well does he remember the Babe,
for back in 1909, a matter of
twelve years or so ago, Babe, then
as now, pitching for the Pirates,
beat the Detroit Tigers, then led
by Jennings, almost singlehanded
in the world series. Since then
Adams has dropped out of fast
company, wandered around in the
bushes and been resurrected, 70
return to the big show with al
most as much stuff as he had in
those golden days. He and Hugh
lie are warm friends, it might be
remarked.
