HARD TIMES VISIT
THE AZORES ISLANDS

LISBON 49, Living conditions in the
Azore islands are very bad, and the out
look for the islanders is most gloomy
according to Jose Rebello de Betten-
court, a journalist of the islands who
has recently come to Lisbon.
The chief cause of the trouble is
that foreign ships have virtually given
up putting into the island ports for
repairs and supplies Days and days
pass at Ponta Delgada and Fayal, and
no ship shows up. And things ashore
are going from bad TO worse. The
ships do not come principally because
the local authorities have succumbed
to the temptation Of profteering.

far as the money lasted; another plan
is to begin at Fredericktown and go
as far west as the money permits; a
third proposition is to build the bridg-

building the guard rail and other work
as the sixty million bond issue be-

Linht Without Heat.

One of the things which inventors
would like much to accomplish is the
production of light without heat. Ma
ture proves by the example of the
FREELY and the glowworm that the
thing can be done. Experiments made
abroad have shown what had long
been believed without direct measure
ment of the temperature that the light
radiated from Geissler tube, when
an electric current passes through it,
is accompanied by very little heat
This accords with the view that we
must look to electricity for a soir,
tion of the problem of "cold light"

Cats Once Worshiped.

After the Romans conquered Egypt,
they, with their usual sagacity, toler-
ated cat love or worship. Diodorus
tells the story of mob tearing a
Roman soldier "to pieces" because he
had accidentally slain a cat. An office
of keeper Of cats was hereditary. The
Turks adopted Fells domestica. In
Cairo homeless cats were fed by order
Of the kadin. According to Lane, the

To Be Good Readers.

Well, gentlemen, whatever you may
think Of these historical points, the
clearest and most imperative duty lies
on every one Of you to be assiduous
In your reading. Learn to be good
readers-which is perhaps more diff
cult thing than you imagine. Learn
to be discriminative in your reading
to read faithfully, and with your best
attention, all kinds Of things which
you have real interest in, real,
not an imaginary, and which you find
to be really fit, for what you are en-
gagged in. Carlyle.

There is a product called "wire
glass;" which, it appears, presents a
most effective barrier against fire. II
consists simply Of mesbwork OF
wire embedded in glass plate. Even
when licked by flames and raised to a
red heat it does not fall to pieces, and
it has been shown in many cases that

or fire, but also the shattering effects
Of cold water poured over it while

mind to conceive single thought has
been estimated at twelfth Of Sec

at from experiments, proving that it is
impossible for a man to obtain more
than ten contractions of the muscles

more contractions it is because the act
of will requires certain time and the

From the Fredericktown Democrat
News: "Division Engineer Newton of
Sikeston spent a few hours in town
yesterday in consultation with the
county court regarding the construc-
ton Of the state highway running west
toward Iron county. Mr.. Newton
made it clear that at least consider
able part of this road must be under
contract before the first Of 1928 If the
county is to participate in federal
funds which are not available after
this year. According to his figures,
there are now available $144 1000, a
large part of which will not be availa-
BILE after this year. The state and fed
eral governments together have put
up $1,000; the state alone offers $57,
600 and the county has appropriated
$57 600. If road project calling for
this sum is not contracted before the

part of the state road funds revert.
In addition, Mr.. Newton stated, that
out of the first sale of state bonds re-

1t is reported that the Free Will
Baptist people here are making prep
arations to build church house in
town. 1t is said that they have pur-
chased site for the building, not far
from the new Baptist church house,
now under process of construction.
This building, when completed, will
certainly be an honor to any town,
for it is an up to- date building in ev-
cry particular. Those who have Ia
bored SO long and faithfully in build
ing the church house should really be
proud now that they wearied not in
wen doing. 1t is to be hoped that it
may "weather the storm" and be
fruitful in bringing many souls to
Christ through the instrumentality OF
those who meet there for divine wor-
ship.

had been cashier of that bank, | am
positively certain that such condi-
ton as now exists would not have
happened. The failure left your writ
er with less than one dollar in actual
cash, when the crash came, and one
check to pay, which came back pro-
tested. 1t matters not whether one
has much or little in bank when it
fails, if he has every dollar he has on
deposit, it certainly hurts him all the
same. Yet we are not without hope,
and would be glad to see every depos-
itor get back every dollar of his Oh
her deposits. Aside from the actual
loss such a condition has caused
many depositors, it hits thes smoral
status OF our town as well, which is
