FIND DESCENDANT ASP
WHICH BIT CLEOPATRA

MEXICO CITY. June 2s.-(By Mail)
"A descendant Of the asp which bit
Cleopatra has just been found near
Jalapa, Vera Cruz, by a party of ex-
ploring naturalists. To confirm their
statements they have brought the rep
tile to Mexico City where it is on dis
play at the department of agriculture.
The snake in question is distinguished
by having two horns and according to
local authorities these protuberances
brand it beyond question as some dis
tant relative of the historic asp OF the
Nile.

THE PURPOSE OF TRIAL
I sometimes think June ought to be
Grateful to April and May

Grateful to April and May
And every stormy winter day,
For had they failed their duty, she
Would find no bud upon a tree
And have no beauty to dieplay-
For all that was, prepares the way
For every flower that mortals see.
And so, perhaps 1t is with men.
Our trials and our griefs and tears,
So very soon forgotten when
The June-time of success appears,
Should own our gratitude-for they
Made possible our strength today.

Chinese Bank Will
Not Accommodate
Raw Silk Dealers

TOXIC, June 10. (By MaiD Con
siderable comment has been evoked
in sericultural circles regarding, the
attitude adopted by the Bank of ia
pan which advised the bankers
throughout the country TO withhold
accommodation to the raw silk man
ufacturers who may be induced to buy
the new seasons cocoons at their ex-
traordinary high price.
The reason advanced by the Bank Of
Japan is that IL the cocoons are bought
at their prevailing high cost, raw silk
produced therefrom must be sold at
such high price that the export trade
would decline. Therefore the bank be-
lieves 1t advisable that the price OF
cacoons should be brought down to g
more reasonable level for the sake OF
national economies.
The attitude assumed by the Bank
of Japan, however, is resented by
many cocoon producers. Sanji Mute,
president of the Manegafuchi Spin
ming Company, acting as their spokes-
man, gives his views Of the subject in
the press Mr.. Muto characterizes the
attitude taken by the bank as uA-
called for and intended to upset the
economic laws Of supply and demand.

Burns addressed his soldiers from

CHURCH LINKED With
EARLY HISTORY,
WARTBURG NAMED.

The anniversary celebration OF St.
Paul's church takes us back to the
early days when the place where
Wartburg now stands was a wooded
expanse, Back in 1915 much OF the
county was scarcely explored. Land
was sold in great sections without
ever going over the ground. The
early settlers selected a piece OF
ground and then set themselves to
the task of clearing it to build a
cabin for shelter and to till the soil.
1t was life of hardships and many
trials that the pioneers mad to lead.
Most of the immigrants had grown
up in we'll ordered towns and cities
in the old country. Having been
surrounded by more advanced CIV
ilization, it was no small thing to
exc out an existence in rough and
rugged mountain country.
About the time the first pastor
arrived and congregation was
formed, the town of Wartburg was
also founded. 1t was the headquar-
tiers of the colonization company.
The new settlers came to the COM
pany store for. their supplies. Not

until 1850 or later was the town
plan entered upon the books, and
Wartburg incorporated. 1t was call
ed "Wartburg'' long before it was
incorporated.
The founders of the church were
also for the greater part the found
ers of the town. This explains the
historic name given to the settle
ment by those pioneers. Situated
high in the hills among the peaks
of the Cumberlands, the German
and Swiss immigrants could not
help but think of the castle in Thur.
ingia, Germany, which is situated
in like manner, bearing the name
"Wartburg.'
AT the castle ''Wartburg' in
Thuringia, DR.. Martin Luther tran
slated the Bible for the first time
into modern language. Before
that time the Bible was little known
because it was not to be had in the
language of the people. The transla'
ton of the Scriptures at Wartburg
gave that castle a great name and
reputation. It is because of this
fact that those Lutheran pioneers
named our town "Wartburg'.
For three quarters of a century
St. Paul's church has watched the
village develope and change. Itsaw
it transformed from wooded area
to town. It remembers the time

BLUE RIDGE SLAUGHTERS MAN.
HAITIAN COLLEGE

Blue Ridge College baseball team
swamped Manhattan College of New
York, New Windsor, Monday, Is to 10.
Had Metzger been allowed to pitch
the entire contest, the Metropolitan
tossers likely would have been limit
ed to four runs. However, after the
locals had safely sewed up the laurels,
Coach Bonsack gave his second string
ers a chance and in the last frame a
series of free tickets mixed with solid
wallops gave the visitors six runs.
The feature of the battle was the
work of Metzger on the mound for
Blue Ridge. In the six innings that he
worked the local ace struck out IA of
the "a men that faced him.
Capt. Fern Hitchcock's steal of
home in the second inning was
clever piece of work. Although the
New York's catcher had the ball in
time to make him out, the Blue Ridge
leader slid safely around him.
