DISPLAY THAT IS PERIODIC
tons at Intervals Of From Ten
to Sixty Years.

The name aurora borealis' was
first used by Cassendi, who in 1921
observed one in France and wrote
description Of it. The aurora" is
periodic in it's manifestations, the
finest displays being at intervals Of
60 years and less marked ones at in
tervals of 10 or II years.
It is asserted that the greater and
lesser displays correspond with the
increase and decrease of spots on the
sun.
This phenomenon is generally mani
tested in the following way:
A dim light appears on the horizon
shortly after twilight and gradually
assumes the shape Of an arch having
& pale yellow color with it's concave
side turned earthward. From this
arch streams Of light shoot FORTH pass
ing from yellow to green and then to
brilliant violet.
The name aurora borealis," while
generally referring to the northern
lights, is applied to similar phe-
nomenon visible in the vicinity Of the
South pole.

Militarism in Europe.

Senator McDill Mccormick of ILL.,
duce a resolution in the senate asking
the state department to tell what it
knows about the financial affairs of
European governments, with special
reference to their expenditures for
land ornaments.
This is a very proper inquiry, and
pretty widespread demand when he
proposes it.
1t will hardly do to say that it is
none of our business what European
nations do with their money. They
are our debtors, most of them at any
rate, and creditor has an interest in
the way his debtors are managing
things.
If business house learned that a
man who was heavily indebted to it
was sporting an expensive automobile
and spending good deal of money on
senseless frivolities> that business
house would certainly. assume that
that mans behavior was of some con-
Germ to it, and it wouldn't be much in
terested in his contention that his
private behavior was his own business
and nobody else's.
Senator Mccormick presented some
figures showing that in five European
nations with a combined population
not much greater than that Of this
country here are more than two mil
lion men under arms. France has
100000, Italy and Poland 100000
apiece, Roumania 100000 and Czecho-
Slovakia 100000.
In sense, and not an inconsidera-
bic sense either, nations that owe this
country arc doing this on our money.
Surely that gives US a right to know
what is going on, anyway.
Senator Mccormick did not at all
oVerstate it when he said that "French
policy has startled and disillusioned
the people Of the United States in the
last few weeks"
The information called for is proper,
and Senator Mccormick is doing q
public service in demanding it. Ger
tainly it IS matter that this country
should be fully informed about, and

Machine Clears Land for Farm.

"d~fiiuV SICdIS .duO IOT al IIs
Among the new agricultural machin-
cry is ponderous mechanical con-
struction which moves under it's own
power over some rough country and
leaves it in condition for planting.
The operation of clearing land for
agricultural purposes is :. very hard
and tedious operation, but with the
aid of this new machine the labor
and time expenditure is reduced more
than half. The front end Of the ma
chine, which moves on a caterpillar
tread, is equipped with heavy bars
with sharpened points which enter the
ground alternately and tear roots and
throw them on conveyer belt, drop
ping them inside to be disposed Of
later. The rear of the machine is
supplied with a somewhat different
device which pulverizes the ground
and leaves it in condition for planting.
Under ordinary conditions this ma
chine has a capacity of three acres a
day.

A Former Citizen.

The passing of Jas. D. Porter, late
of Nashville, a prominent citizen and
business man of that city, recalls the
fact that Mr.. Porter when a young
man cast his fortunes with the peo-
pie of Union City and that he soon
found kindred spirit among those
who recognize the true value of char
acter in business and personal rela-
tions. Mr.. Porter was engaged here
for a number of years in the Jewelry
business and he entered into the
mutually agreeable task of taking
advantage of the opportunities to adj
vance his interests and to coordinate
with his fellow-citizens in the pro-
motion of healthy, normal business
conditions and public benefactions.
Practically from the start Mr.. Por-
ter found reciprocal welcome in
Union City. He was a Tennessean
and branch of the native volunteer
race, which constitutes a voucher of
safe port anywhere in the common
wealth. He was esteemed by the To-
cal community of business men and
by every fraternal and business or
ganization. His progress to greater
achievements in Nashville seemed to
have followed out the coursee that
led a considerable number of our
young men to business distinctions
in larger fields. The ground work was
laid in Union City, and these facts
move us to revere the name of Mr..
Porter and to join with the hosts of
friends in the kindest condolences to
the bereaved.

invested in good roads. The State
highways should be built fifty per
cent cheaper than they have been
built. There should be an investiga-
tion and supervision Of road matters
SO that every dollar expended will
get full value in road construction
and material. Some Of our roads
have been built at too great a cost.
TOO much Of the money has gone to
contractors. II Tennessee should
adopt road bond issue of $4,000
900 we guarantee that contractors
would get the bulk ofthe money. So
why do it?
Now, the favorite SON who expects
to have easy sailing in the next CAM
paign for Governor, State Senator or
Representative might as well change
his plans, and if he doesn't want to
come out mighty fiat with some plain
statements he might as well unpack
his grip and stay at home.
If we are not mighty badly fooled
the taxpayers and voters will have
something to say in the elections
next year. They are already standing
for double taxation, and we don't be-
lieve they will stand for another red
ical increase.

CITY Affairs

Notwithstanding the fact that in
Union City street construction Is adj
yised and much Of II is needed the
most important matter for sthe city
fathers to deal with is law enforce
ment. We have been exceedingly
fortunate. We are on our good be-
hcvior, but we have the officers ID
thank for this. Other towns are
having trouble with criminals and
bootleggcrs. No doubt the bootleg
ger will abide with US for years to
come, but we have him in compare
lively small doses. 1t is not an easy
matter to control this. AS General
Morris says, 1t takes the spy system
to move it, and the candidates for
mayor and aldermen might as well
expect to be on the job. If they could
pave the streets with marble and
the pavements run with blood and
debauch the streets wouldn't be
worth q SOU.
Oh no, nobody wants the blue
laws, but they are certainly to be
commended in wanting our present
laws enforced. Nobody, we take it,
wants to start Noah Cooper cam
paign here. You can't legislate re-
ligion into a mans soul. There is
striking contrast between the phari
see on one side and the outlaw on
the other One is about as near the
Throne of Grace as the other. We
venture that the Nazarene who
plucked the ear Of corn on the Sab
bath day would also, if he were here
to-day, &c down to the bakery and
buy loaf Of bread IL it were needed.
Nobody wants and pink tea stuff,
but they do want men in office who
are not afraid Of duty They want
good schools, good streets and public
but they want law
and order.
