Eskimo Tribe Has Made Conspicuous
Success in an Effort at Self
Government.

From Point Hope, 300 miles north Of
the Arctic circle, comes, a remarkable
story Of a self-governing Eskimo com
munity which has been successfully
carried on there for the last six years
Under the tutelage of missionaries
equal suffrage has been established
among the Tigaras, who annually in
town meeting elect from among them
selves the oualik, or council of lead
ing men, who in turn enact the local
laws and see to their enforcement
among the thousand natives who in
habit the region.
Originally the omalik was composed
Of seven men, it is recounted. But 1t
was found later that five was a better
number From the beginning of the
experiment the right of suffrage was
gIyn to men and women alike, in the
selection of the council. Christmas
was fixed as the day of the election
because on that day all of the tribes
men come into the settlement for
feasting and merry-making. The names
are written on a blackboard, and the
five securing the greatest number of
votes are declared elected, while that
one of the five who receives the great
est number of votes becomes the chief
councilman.

OWNERSHIP OF LAND AND AIR
paint Made by Henry ceoras May Yst
Be Made the Center Of Legal
Controversy.

In the course OF a lecture in the
hall at Ast0n-under-Lyne, England, the
late Henry George put his audience in
roars Of laughter when he remarked:
1.-THE man who owns the land owns
the air as well, There has been only
one attempt that I have ever heard Of
to make air separate property Near
Strasburg, IN Germany, about the
Twelfth or Thirteenth century there
was a convent Of monks who put up
a windmill. One OF the lords in the
neighborhOod-they would be called
robbers uoW-fnding he could not get
any tribute from them, set up a claim
to the ownership Of the air, and when
they put up their windmill, said: All
the wind in these parts belongs to me.
The monks sent in hot haste to the
bishop, and told him Of this claim. The
bishop got up on his hind legs and
cursed in ecclesiastical language. He
said the baron was a son Of Belial
that he did not own the wind in that
province; that all the wind that blew
over it belonged to Mother Church;
and that If the baron did not take
back his demand for rent he would
launch with bell, book, and candle the
curse Of Rome Mr. Baron backed
down. But il he had owned the land
he would not have needed to set up
a claim to the wind. Men cannot
breathe the air unless they have land
to stand on"

Spiders and Music.

1t has been asserted that spiders
possess a sensitiveness to musical
sounds. Some species seem to respond
to the note of the piano, the harp,
the flute, and so on, in a manner sug-
gestive of their ability to recognize
these sounds or the harmonic vibra-
tions on which they are based But
member of the College Of France,
who is said to have made a special
study of the instincts and the sup
posed "psychism" OF spiders, thinks
that the apparent sensitiveness Of
these creatures to music has been mis-
understood. 1t is his opinion that
when musical instruments are played
near their nests the spiders simply
feel the vibrations through their webs,
or otherwise, without recognizing the
musical notes as sounds. The effect
upon them is similar to that of the
buzzing Of an entrapped fly. He does
not ascribe much intelligence" to
spiders. Washington Star.

"OBEY" TO REMAIN
IN WEDDING VOW

The word "Obey" will not be omit
ted from the Episcopalian marriage
ceremony, according to Bishop Thomas
F. Gailor, Episcopal prelate.
Possibility of omission, however,
is offered in the revision Of the Book
of Common PRAYER, in which some
radical changes doubtless will be pur-
posed when the general Episcopal
convention meets in Portland, Ore
gon. September 6.
Bishop Gailor said this was one Of
the radical changes which would prob
ably be proposed, but none of which
are likely to be adopted.
The revision of the Book of Com
mon Prayer comes in the report of
the commission appointed to make
such revision as seemed to be de-
manded by the new conditions of the
age This is considered one of the
most important reports of the con-
vention.
Revision of the prayer book will
mean more flevibility in the use of
the service. There will be special
PRAYERS added, and other enrichments
of the offices Of devotion.

COAL INDUSTsT is
TO BE INVESTIGATED

A bin to carry into effect President
Harding's recommendation for
sweeping government investigation Of
the coal industry was introduced Mon
day by Chairman Winslow Of the
House Commerce Committee after a
visit to the White House.
The measure would create a commits
sion of nine members to be known as
the United States Coal Commission
for the purpose Of obtaining informa-
ton regarding all questions and prob
lens arising out of and connected
with the coal industry. No members
OF Congress or any person who has
any interest in, or is connected with
the industry, would be eligible to
serve on the commission The sal
aries Of commissioners would be at
the rate of $4,000, and the commits
sion would cease to exist one year
after the act took effect,
Specifically the bill would make it
the duty of the commission to inves-
tlgate and ascertain facts in the coal
industry as to ownership of coal
mines, price Of coal wages, wage con-
tracts, conditions of employment, dis
tribution Of waste Of coal, profits
realized by owners or operators of
coal mines or by the persons or cor
porations having to do with the pro-
duction, distribution or sale of coal
and any other material facts in con
nection with the coal industry gem
orally and the organizations and per-
sons connected with it.
The commission would report to
the president and Congress by Janu-
airy 1, 1923, its findings Of fact and
make such recommendations as in its
judgment would promote continuity
of production and efficiency inmining
and distribution, and maintain unin-
terrupted movement of coal in inter
state commerce and safeguard the
interests Of workers, operators and
the public.
A half million dollars would be APP
propriated for expenses Of the COM
mission.

SOIL ANALYSIS
AND PLANT FOOD
CAPT. PECK TELLS OF PROPER
PLANT-GROWING
Chemical Analysis of Soils Tells DIFF
ferent Elements Of Plant Food and
Quantity in Which They Are Pres.
ent, But Not How Much Is Avail
able For GrOwth-What Is Lacking
Is Shown in Growing Crops.
(By 7. F. Peck, Commissioner Of
Agriculture.)

D
Agriculture.)
The Department Of Agriculture is
| frequently called upon to analvze
soil and at times the chemist of the
department has been pretty busy
complying with these reques S M
connection with his other duties.
The chemical analysis of soils will
tell the different elements Of plant
food and the quantity in which they
are present, but it can not tell how
much of it is available for plant
growth. l have seen soil as rich in
plant food as soil of the Nile, but on
account of its physical or mechanical
conditions it was not available for
plant growth. Soil that is soaked
with dead water will not grow crops
except some forms of swamp grass.
Flowing soil when it is too wet will
lock up the plant food and make it
unavailable for plants. / am inter
ested first in getting my soil in
proper mechanical condition. | want
my ground we'll drained. / want to
break it when it will pulverize best.
/ want to pulverize deep and prepare
good seed bed, and then after plant
ing with good seed and the plants are
up, cultivate thoroughly shallowly
and often Make available all the
plant food in the soil
When the crop is growing and ma
turing ! can tell by its appearance
in what it is deficient-what element
of plant food it is necessary to sup
ply. Anyone who cares to know if
the soil is deficient in nitrogen, if
such is the case, can tell by the pale,
sickly green of the growing crop. If
there is plenty of nitrogen the color
is rich dark green.
If there is deficiency of potash
and phosphorus, these elements ought
to be supplied. Chemical analysis of
soils is poor guide. II you were to
take so samples from a 10-acre field
and have them analysed you would
find wide range in amounts Of plant
food.
| prefer getting the soil in good
condition, cultivate the crops we'll and
be governed in my treatment of the
soil by the danger signals the crops
hold out.
| have built UP much neglected
land in my time and l have never
had to buy anything but lime and
phosphate have taken my nitro
gen from the air and made up for any
apparent lack of potash by breaking
up the subsoil, letting it crumble or
disintegrate and mix with the surface
soil.
Truck troopers mean, I suppose.
profitably use commercial nitrogen
and potash where their plan Of crop-
ping is so intensive that it will
admit Of no system of rotation. The
general stock farmer can use his
money to better advantage otherwise.
In general, if we would be farmers in
stead of farm miners we will keep in
mind the true agricultural cycle Of
growing crops to feed animals, which
in turn feed the soil-not waste, but
beneficial change of matter.

DEFEATED CANDIDATE
AGAINST VARDAMAN

Miss Belle Kearney, who ran a
comparatively poor third in the state
wide Democratic primary last week in
Mississippi for the nomination of
United States Senator to succeed
John Sharp Williams, has issued a
public appeal to everyone who can
conscientiously do So" to support
former Representative Hubert D.
Stephens in the second primary Sep
TENDER 8, with former Senator James
X. Vardaman.
With a few scattered precincts to
be heard from, Vardaman's plurality
over Stephens is given in unofficial
returns in the first primary as about
7,100. The returns give the totals as
follows: Vardaman, 72,154; Steph-
ems, 64,588: Kearney, 1920.
Managers of both Vardaman and
Stephens are making preparations to
open their campaigns this week for
the "run-off," which takes place Sep

FIrst sible in English.

The first complete version Of the
English Bible was that of Myles Gov
erdale. 1t appeared in 1885, and was
based on the Swiss German version
published at Zurich In 1524-1529. In
1882 there had appeared a version at
tributed to Wycllffe, but the gospels
alone can be identified as the work
Of Wycliffe himself.
The translation of the Old Tesla
ment and the Apocrypha is the work
Of Nicolas de Hereford. The trans
lation Of the New Testament by VIII
liam Tyndale appeared at Worms in
1926; later editions in 1594-35. The
King James version, otherwise known
as the authorized version, was begun
in 1904 and published In 1911.

NO BOOTLEGGERS
ARRESTED IN JOHNSTOWN

While prohibition sleuths at Johns
town, Pa, ostensibly were searching
for bOotleggers, Johnstown's supply
of empty beer bottles continued to
increase Monday night.
Mayor Joseph Cauffiel, avowed
supporter of the pure beer for my
constituents movement, smiled lot
and said nothing.
Prohibition Agent E. A. SDragg,
directing a force of seven detectives,
said his men hadn't found any boot
leggers yet, but that they had hopes.
Meanwhile the little black bugs
continued to make an aquarium of the
city's drinking water reservoir.
The steady, insistent demand for
the "stuff the mayor ordered" be-
gan to lacerate the nerves of bev-
erage dispensers, and they abandoned
their efforts to explain to customers
that the mayors act was a hoax
That they couldn't think Of selling
anything containing more than one
half of one per cent.
And, besides that, prohibition
agent was listening to the converse
ton.

Social Justice in Earlier Ages.

discovery that earlier ages were equal
to us in what we may broadly call
moral progress. The minimum wage

Justice in the Egyptian CODE the same

where, the concern Of the gods for
righteousness, the full democracy Of
Athens and Rome, the beginning Of

GOV. TAYLOR READY
FOR CAMPAIGN


Gov. A. A. Taylor spoke to an
audience Of 400 or 500 people in the
courthouse at Greenfield Saturday
afternoon, about one-foufth of the
audience being ladies. He was intro
duced by Judge Dana Harmon
This was Gov. Taylor's second
speech in that section, the first hav-
ing been made at Stoney Creek, near
the old Taylor home, in Carter coun-
ty, Friday afternoon.
Referring to his present race for
governor, he stated that "0ld Linn
Der" was on the trail Of gray fox
this time, that he had no trouble
catching the red fox two years ago
and that everybody knew red fox"
was harder to catch than a gray one.
But" Gov Taylor said, "it must
be admitted the gray fox "Old Linn
Der" is after has shown some speed
in as much as he outclassed three
others in the late Democratic pri-
mary"
The governor spoke of his strength
in Middle and West Tennessee at the
present time and stated that he would
not only hold the votes he received
in these sections two years ago, but
there would be added thousands to
his majority.
"All | ask is that East Tennessee
rally to my support again and l will
be returned to the governors chair
in November, and give me a friendly
legislature and / will reorganize the
government of the state and save
thousands Of dollars to the taxpayers
of Tennessee.
Il intend to make the fight of my
life to win in my race for the United
States Senate said Senator Newell
Sanders, Republican senatorial nomi-
nee, Saturday
Senator Sanders has been in hun
dred battles for his party in this
state, but this is the first one for him
self, and he expects to win if there
appears the remotest chance, and the
senator says his opportunity for win
ming never appeared brighter.
Senator Sanders stated that besides
the heavy Republican vote he ex-
poets also a good many Democratic
votes and a majority Of the indie
pendent votes in Tennessee. Sena-
tor Sanders friends declare that as
the result of the vigorous campaign
he expects to wage, Gov. ALI Taylor
and the Republican candidates for
Congress in this state will be swept
into office.
Gov. Taylor is opposed by Hon.
Austin Peay, of GAINESVILLE, Demo-
cratic nominee, and Ex-senator San
ders will measure lances with Sena-
tor X. D. Mcclellan, who won the
Democratic nomination, over Capt |
