hoped he would. He knew that Peter

What Il might be he didn't know. IL
might be that Peter had discovered
danger 20 himself, but which would
not be 4 danger TO others. Then,
again, Il might be a danger TO MRS.
Paddy and himself.
So Paddy did the wise thing; he

SOLOMON WARNER IS
VICTIM OF ROBBERY

Wednesday afternoon at late hour,
two colored men entered the sore of
solomon Warner on South Dakota
Avenue, and while one of them made
a small purchase, thus holding Mr..
Warmers attention, the other man
aged to open the cash drawer, and alb
stracted therefrom a railroad voucher
for SIS and between $50 and $40 in
cash.
1.-TWO men, Lewis Williams and C..
H. Harrison, said to answer the de-
scription of the men, have been ar
rested by Chief Wilson and Officer
Eanier. on a charge of vagrancy, and
are being held in the city Jail pending
the investigation of the matter. 1t is
said that one of the men, while deny
ing any part in the matter, admits
knowing something about it. The
men come here with an extra gang of
workmen employed by the Atlantic

war departm mt can dispose of the
property for $16,272.000. Mr. Ford is
bound by his proposal to operate nj
trate plant No. 2 but there is no legal
obstacle to prevent his disposing OF
the other properties to which he gets
title Should he BE- able to obtain
what the chief Of ordinance estimates
that the government can secure for
the various items, namely, $3,O00,000
for the Warrior plants which have an
installation of 10000 horse power.
and 100000 for nitrate plant Ne. l
and dispose of the Warrior Muscle
Shoals transmission line, as a trans
mission line and not as a scrap, for
S675,O00 and should he obtain $357 900
for the Waco quarry, he would have
left the nitrate plant No. 2 with its
10000 horse power steam plant at a
cost to him of less than $4,000.
The interest on the proceeds of
such possible sales would amount to
very large sum during the term of
the proposed contract. The present
revenue from rental of the power
plant at nitrate plant No. 2 is a min
iimum of $120,000 per annum with a
possibility that, in event of operation,
il may run to $260,0O0. The cost o.
maintenance of nitrate plant No. .
was approximately 100000 during the
fiscal year 1921. The total horse
power developed by the three steam
plants to which Mr. Ford will get
title is $4,000 which practically dou-
hles the all-season or primary house
power to be developed at dam 2. Gap
proximately 100000 of the horse
power that is to be developed at dam
2 will not be available 265 days in the
year,"

termination of the said one hundred
year leases, should the United States
elect not to operate such power plants
but determine to lease or dispose of
same, the company shall have the
preferred right to negotiate with the
United States for such lease or pur-
chase and upon such terms as may
then be agreed upon.
Does Not Bind Renewal
This paragraph does not bind the
United States to a renewal of the
lease and is in no way an attempt to
control the policy of congress beyond
the one hundred year period of the
present lease.
I'm the event Mr.. Ford's proposal
is accepted, the government mus;
make a new appropriation amounting
to from $40,000,0 900 to 100000 900 OF
which Mr.. Ford will have the benefit
for approximately 100 years at four
per cent. The company is of course
10 keep nitrate plant No. in condi-
ton to produce explosive which, as ii
matter of preparedness, is of great
value to the government. Neverthe.
less, Mr.. Ford is but $5,000,000 for
the title to the two nitrate plants, the
Waco quarry, the Gorgas-Warrior
steam plant, transmission lines and
appurtenances that you may the bet
ter understand the value of the pro-
perty for which Mr.. Ford is offering
this $5,000,000 l am attaching to this
letter a brief statement prepared by
the chief of ordinance showing the
cost and estimated salvage value Of
these properties.
From the table contained in this
statement it will be seen that these
properties cost the United States ap-
rroximately $S5,OO0,000 and that as
scrap they are estimated to be worth
S,S12,000. However, the last column
of the table in exhibit A indicates

a cost not to exceed $4,000, 900 as es-

THE provision for renewal of the
lease which was contained in the pro-

Daily Poem
ELIJAH TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN
end Kings 2:5-11. The Sunday School
Lesson for Feb. 5th, 1929

The young Elisha had farm; of oxen,
twelve good yoke,
And he was blowing in the field when
old Elijah spoke
And threw his sheepskin mantle on
the shoulders of the lad
To show that he would have the gift
the grand old prophet had.
And so Elisha followed where the rug
ged prophet led,
And learned of all the sacred lore
and what Jehovah said.
And such a comfort was he to the
ancient man of God,
He smoothed the rough and thorny
path his master always trod.
Elijah's glorious, fruitful life was
drawing to a close
A life spent very close to God. with
little of repose.
Unselfish and courageous was this
hoary seer of old.
To champion Jehovah's cause, he was
both brave and bold.
Now there were schools of prophets
in those days of long ago;
There was one at Gilgal, Bethel, and
at ancient Jericho.
When Elijah was at Gilgal came the
knowledge to his mind
That he was going home to God and
leave the world behind
So he began his journey to the land
from whence he came
To Gilead's rocky mountains which
were barren as their name.
He babe Elisha stay behind, nor fol
low him at all,
That he might answer, quite alone, the
Holy Spirits call.
But still Elisha followed on, with sad
and reverent MEN,
From Gilgal unto Bethel-life part
ners, it would SEEM
Till from the school of prophets full
fifty, that we know,
Decided to go with them when they
reached old Jericho.
The prophets kept some distance off,
for they loved and feared the
Lord,
When Elijah reached the Jordan,
which was here to deep to ford
Then rolling up his mantle, with slow
and stately tread,
Elijah smote the parting waves and
walked across the bed.
And after they were over, said Eli
jah to his friend,
ASK what l shall do for thee before
the journeys end"
81 pray thee let a double portion of
thy spirit be upon me-"
And Elijah said if Elisha saw him
when he was taken so it would be.
And as the twain were talking and as
Gilead's hills they neared,
A wondrous fiery chariot and fiery
steeds appeared;
1t parted them asunder and the wind
with awful whirl,
Carried prophet, horses, chariot, up to
the Gates of Pearl.
~
Elijah was exalted and rewarded for
a life
Veil spent in faithful service, though
full of grief and strife
And so should we be ready when the
summons comes, so sweet,
And bring lives full of service to lay
them at His feet.

SIMPLE NAMES ONLY

Associated Press. )-When the
American delegates 70 the arms
conference came to describe
themselves for the purpose of the
llst of pIenipotentiaties that al.
ways precedes the official text Of
treaties, they set before the world
a new example of democracy.
Titles and official designations
of many sorts glitter opposite the
names Of the representatives of
other governments who are par
ties to he treaty negotiated here
but under the head Of American
delegates in the new naval and
submarine treaties appears simply
this:
"For the President of the Unit
ed States of America,
Charles Evans Hughes.
Henry cabo: Lodge.

Compared to this, every other

name. The Ionges is that OF the
head of the Japanese, who is de-
scriped thus:

of Japan,
"Baron Tcmosaburo Kato, Min
lister for the Navy,
"Junii, a member of the first
class of the Imperial Order of the
Grand Gordon of the Rising Sun,

In past treaties it has been Gus
tomary to at least affix "The
Honorable" before the names of
each American plenipotentiary,
and to follow it by designating
what public office, il any, he &C.
cupies.
