The strong winds of last Tuesday
brought hurry calls to the Logan Lum-
Der yard and S. NJ. Long, the former
on account Of damage to window glass
and the latter on account of damage to
roofing. While the wind did not appear
to be especially strong it did more or
less damage in different parts of town.
White man and negro got into trou-
BILE in a back lot Monday. White man
said to be under influence of whisky
was teasing the negro. Negro hit the
white man in the head with rock, and
it required several stitches to close the
wound. Negro ran out Of town and
thus avoided arrest.
Different individuals have applied
to The Yorkville Enquirer to know why
the Main street lights do not burn all
night, claiming that the town Is not
using the minimum amount Of current
it is paying for and it would be all the
same anyway. The Yorkville En-
quirer has not inquired into the mat
ter; but agrees with the idea that the
Main street lights should burn al
night.

- If the general public can be made to
understand the full significapce Of that
movement that has been started by the
Loyal Order Of Moose in Gastonia to
convert the Linwood College property
into a Moosehart, the outcome will be
Of no little Importance to the future OF
this whole section. Moose. e..eart, Illi-
nois, through development of only
few years, is now generally recognized
as the largest and most ideal institu-
ton Of the kind in the world, represent
ing the outlay Of millions Of dollars
and the home of more than thousand
orphan children who are receiving all
the advantages in moral, physical, in
tellectual and spiritual instruction and
care that have been attained through
the highest modern development along
these lines. Located about thirty miles
out of Chicago, the remarkable little
town has become. one Of the notable
show places of the city and thousands
of pleasure riders pass that way solely
for the purpose of getting a view Of it's
buildings and grounds. The immediate
objective Of the Moose organization is
the establishment of at least three
other Moosehearts-one in the far
west, one in the east and one in the
south. People who are acquainted
with the Linwood property are at once
struck with its ideal suitability for
such a purpose and there are few in
telligent people in this part of the
country who lack that vision that
enables them opicture the many bene-
fits that would naturally accompany
the building up of an institution like
Mooseheart in this immediate vicinity.

CROP LIENS, ETC.

Crop and Chattel mortgages arc
coming to the clerks office in steadi-
'ly increasing stream these days,
though the volume has not yet reached
anything like tho proportions it had
obtained at this time last year.
Clerk McMackin was opening his
morning mail yesterday when the
reporter stepped into his office.
In the mail there were big fat letters
from five banks from different parts
of the county and all of these letters
were filled with securities of various
kinds principally crop mortgages.
One Of the packages containing
fifteen crop mortgages gives fair idea
of what was doing. The smallest
amount named in any Of the mortgages
was $40 and the largest ran over S2,OOO.
The aggregate amount or the ntteen
mortgages was S3,556.30 and the aver
age was S237; but except for the one
over $4,000 this average would nave
run very much lower:
Reading of the mortgages disclosed
that most of them seemed past due, in
debtedness having run from last year.
This was indicated by the odd cents in
the different amounts, the presumption
being that a new mortgage would be
for even money.
In all cases the security pledged in
cluded all crops of whatever nature
now growing or to be grown on the
lands of the gfver Of the mortgage; but
in addition to the crops, there was also
included mules and horses, cattle, hogs
agricultural implements, Ford auto
mobiles and various other chattels. !.
Investigation also disclosed tnat
MANY real estate mortgages-rather
more than usual at this season-are
being submitted to the clerk for record.

Readers Of the newspapers must
exercise their right to believe as little
as they desire to believe Of those
storie $ that are being printed about the
murder of William Desmond Taylor.
The Yorkville Enquirer is still of
opinion that if the truth ever comes
out, 1t will destroy the value Of more
millions of dollars worth Of films than
were destroyed by the Arbuckle scan
dal, and it believes further that this
contingency has much to do with the
suppression of the truth.

says she used to think that women
knew nothing OF politics. In the same
interview she explains why she is a
Republican with story to the effect
that her grandfather was a missionary
amo ng the Cherokee Indians and be-
cause he insisted on going with the
Indians when Alabama sent them out
of the state, Andrew Jackson put him
in the penitentiary. Since most of the
voters in Miss Robertson's district are
Indians, it must be handed to her that
she is some politician.

ton il was announced that drastic
systematic curtailment of production
would be inaugurated with Castor
county mills at once. More than half
of CASTOR county's 1,140000 spindles
were represented at this meeting. At
present, it is stated by well informed
cotton mill men. the textile market is
at q very low point. The fact is the
warn manufacturers cannot sell their
product at any price. 1t is felt by the
manufacturers that to continue to run
on stock yarns and warehouse the
same. would be a ruinous policy. Just
where the cause Of the present condl-
ton of the yarn market lies is not al
together clear. For some weeks past
many hundreds of thousands or SPIN
dies in the New England district have
been idle because of strikes while there
is also curtailment in textile districts
in that section where no strikes are on.

A living pleiosaurian, of the mesozoic
age is reported to be galivanting
around in the wilds of Patagonia, down
in the southern end Of South America.
The report is credited to an alleged
who claims to have seen
the monster. His attention was first
to a wide spoor or track
through wilds of forest growth, where
not only bushes but larger trees had
been bent, broken and twisted by the
passage along Of an animal Of tremen-
dous weight. Following the track, he
came to lake, and few days later he
saw the arched neck and head Of the
monster projecting high out of the wa
ter. The body he thought was maybe
a hundred or so feet long. AS sub
sanitation for the story the dispatches
connected up the we'll understood cir
cumstance that Patagonia is especially
rich in the fossil remains of prehistoric
animals, and also it is probably the
least explored country in the world. A
story like this was well-calculated to
make a great sensation among scien-
lists Of the natural history school; but
as firmly as these scientists believe
that such animals once existed on
earth just so firmly do they believe
that it was millions Of years before
there was a man to see them, and they
are not excited enough to send hurry
expedition to investigate them.

the greatest donation that has ever
been made. 1t brings the Rockefeller
donations for all purposes up to half
a billion dollars. 1t used to be said
whenever Mr.. Rockefeller made a do
nation to the Chicago university that
there would soon follow an increase in
the price of OIL. but that was before
the public had reached the point where
it could conceive of useful philanthropy
on such a tremendous scale. But all
that has been changed now to the ex-
tent that the announcement of a
Rockefeller donation serves more to
centre public attention on the unerring
wisdom with which he directs his help
to the causes that are most worth
while.
