1.-THE WARM soUTHr

From "Beakers of Blushful Hippo
 creme" by Charles B Shaw, in
 Scribners.
 Those of you >to whom the title comes a s an old familiar friend will recollect that when the poet longs for his beaker full of the true. the blushful Hippocrene. he also dreams of the warm South"
 "rhe warm South!' What a glow of desire those words strike through us! Flora and the country green, dance and Provencal song and sun burnt mirth"' Our hearts, too, ache; a drowsy numbness pains our senses; and with him We long for some raelodious plot of beechen green and shadows numberless, where the bird in full -throated ease will sing to us of summer.
 This apotheosis of the south was not the product mercy of an idle fancy. Vagrant mood, or a careless whim. It was the sincere expression of an earnest. time strengthened longing. Among the many false dicta of smartly epigrammatic Oscar Wilde is one which declares that All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling. To be natural Is to be obvious and to be obvious is to be inartistic. Its untruth is proved eff. indeed, proof of it's falsity be neeeed) by this very poem. Of the sincerity of the poets emotion there can be no doubt. and we may be equally sure tha. his apostrophe of the nightingale Is one of the masterpieces of English poetic art.
 Keats was not alone in his longing for the south Byron. no more like him than is Judy O'GradyJ like the colonels lady's was mpelled by the same desire. Sligo" he writes to Tom Moore concerning friends pro- posed tr.p. lis for the north; pleasant place, Petersburg in Septem Der. with ones ears and nose In huff, or else tumbling into ones neckcloth or pocket handkerchief If the winter treated Bonaparte with so little ceremony, what would it inflict upon your solitary traveller? Give me a sun. 1 care not how hot, and sher- bet, I care not how cool, and my heaven is as easily made as your Persian's."

 Edward Bostick states that he has now run the number of stations that
 he has heard up over sixty. That is
 good number for a one tube set If you see some fellows walking
 around like they are suffering from lack of sleep, don't get the wrong impression as they more than likely are just radio bugs who tried to either out stay the night hawks or
 station WDAP in Chicago who evil dently sent all night. So far the local
 bug who heard WDAP last was Ed
 ward Bostick who states that they didn't even sound like signing off l after a. m. Then, Edward states, he had to retire.
 Some of the local listeners report hearing station kHJ in Los Angeles,
 last Sunday night or rather last Mon- day morning. They heard them at
 a. m. Central standard time which Is twelve Pacific time. This was a wise time for the one wishing to
 hear this station to listen as the IS pest at tniS time Oi night and the interference is all
 most nothing. from other stations. The sation was sending the New Years greetings
 The ones who forget to listen in while the whistles were blowing missed treat. All the stations in
 the country were giving the finest programs going. There were more
 stations sending than there are at about seven or eight clock each | evening.
 Although this winter has shown us
 no real cold radio" weather, the last few nights have been very near ideal. They were not especially cold, but the weather has been settled. thus caus- ] ing very little static We are glad to see the weather starting the year off in such manner. We hope MT.
 Weather lives up to his apparent New
 Years resolution.
 Bernie Johnson states that this ten waiter is percolating now and he is
 waiting for his license He says she radiates six tenths of an ampere. (Now speaking of the set, not the license) I, asked him what was wrong with the ammeter but he failed to see the rare humor involved in the question. We hope Bernie has as much success with his trans-
 hitter as he has had with his re-
 ceiving set, however. we cannot help but say. that we hope his transmit ting set causes as little interference as his receiving set did. thought that all the bugs would rush to me very soon with the news nf tuh rhriC Iaft |. along the radio line, and I was not wrong in my anticipation. but sad to relate. most of them got battery chargers and made me promise not
 to mention it to a soul They even
 offered the services of the charger if l would keep 1t quiet. Maybe the
 reader does not understand, but it has
 been the custom as long as raido
 has existed, to use the guys bat

POSSIBILITY OF RADIO CONFLIC

by Waldemar Kaempffert, in Asia
 Magazine.
 With the British. Japanese, French and Americans clamoring for aural attention, there is likely to be a curi- ous radio conflict. As yet. the news papers have hardly realized the ad- vantages of radio between Asia and the west. No doubt this is to be attributed to fear that "static"- those conditions that interfere with the transmission and reception of messa ges-will initiate against fast service. Though static" still pre- sents formidable problems. transat- lantic service Is now highly trust worthy. Pacific service will become so as soon as real transpacific sta tions are established; that is, sta tions communicating directly from continent to continent. Then the newspapers of the west will be able Ito collect and disse minate oriental

BIRMINGHAM Jan. 6.-In the absence of Liverpool and any particular cotton news the. market ruled quiet but with somewhat sagging tendency during the short session today. The opening aver aged slightly above Fridays close whsn weekend profit taking took place, as well as evening up in New Orleans account holiday there Monday, caused prices to sell off 20 points, at which point there was enough buying to rally prices 10 points and bring the finals 10 to 16 points under the previous close Spots were gen orally unchanged to 15 lower with fair sales reported from the southern markas for Saturday.
 The weekend figures yesterday were bull ish, the spinners takings for the sea son now running a0e. 900 behind last year Tn, New York Journal of Commerce sends out bullish wire saying that the actual cot ton wanted by the mills and this demand expected to increase. The view of many cotton traders was the reparations matter has got to be settled and will be settled Worth street markets were steady but small sales. Fall River estimated the week sales at 200. 1000 pieces. Cotton ap. pears purchase on setbacks.

 MT, Eess asserted that the crisis in Western Europe Is the question we are all thinking deeply about now"
 "I do not know he said, whether CT not France has closed the door to us: whether the premlers of the allied rations have barred us from further participation in Europe's troubled affairs is in doubt. We do know that the French newspapers do not accept our suggestion of hay ing an economic commission pass on the reparatfons problems.
 If that represents the stand of the French then l say that for the pres, ent the door is closed against the United States and it cannot act. We have faced no such problem as that closed door in our time and perhaps any time in our history
 Mr. Hess said no country suffered greater loss of buying power than Great Britain and because of that her overseas commerce did not return to normal.
 "EngIand's remedy, is a revival of markets. hence her concern in the re- vival of German industry and Rus sian prosperity" he added. Her re- quest fer reduction of the burden of Germany is not an excuse for Germanys guilt. nor a lack of appre- citation of Frances just claim It is not a desire to relieve Germany for her own sake nor to deprive France of needed reparations, but rather a selfish demand to assure relief tc British commerce and the employ ment of her unemployed. The eco homie necessity of Britain calls for rejuvenation of the industrial world. including the central powers and Russia
 All that England is concerned about, he said, is the worlds buy ing pGwer and she wants it re- stored at all costs for her own self preservation
 France. on the other hand" he continued. sees only the work of devastation. of wars hideous de- struction of the terrorism of Ger man militarism; so she demands that Germany be compelled to make good what the treaty of Versailles speci- fically gives her the power to col lect. with her army if necessary"
 France cannot contemplate the all formative of German failure to pay, MT. Fess asserted.
 France sees financial bankruptcy in case of German default and worse than financial collapse, she fears in> evitable revolution in case she agrees to the default when the treaty gives her the authority to collect 1t by mil itary sorce.'

What is more he can do his own convincing, with out the aid of disciples who attempt to mirror his thoughts.

OLD GUN rs A
RARE RELIC OF
THE EARLY DAYS

William Talley this week brought
into the Republican office the barrel
of a gun which has evidently seen
service in the pioneer days of the
West. The barrel, which was the
only part found, was dug up by the
Hartenbower ditching crew six feet
under the surface, which would indi-
cate that the weapon is old The bar
rel is exceptionally heavy, and the
pioneer who carried this weapon
around on foot certainly knew that
he had a rifle with him.
The weapon is the old fashioned
muzzle-loading cap-fire type, the bar
rel being SO inches in length and 1
Is inches across.
These rifles were common enough
in the old days, but are rarely seen
in these modern times.
On the under side of the barrel is
engraved the words, Taylor, Sig'y,
Ia" This is probably an abbrevia-
tion of "Sigourney," and would indi-
cate that the owner hailed from that
town.
This rifle barrel may be seen at
the Republican office, where it is
on display in the window.

In the evening, Mr.. Thompson led

Miss Parker introduced the speak
ers, Mr.. Hallowell, who spoke on
Christian Character, and DR.. Esta-

the Sunday school workers was called
for Thursday at 400 to take up
business of the Elmore-Owyhee s. S.

The meetings will continue after
moons and evenings during Thursday
and Friday. Besides the three men

It is hoped that the Mountain
Home people will plan to attend
these valuable services as far as pos
sible for the good of our children and
people. Rev. Sears will be here
Thursday and lead the devotions.

RALLY DAY AT THE
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

The decorations were in keeping
with the gifts of the harvest season
garden products, fruits, traces oil
corn, sheaves of grain and vines and
flowers, giving rich and beautiful
variety and effect
The Sunday school, besides the les
son, had class responses, principally
from Scripture, and promotion of
classes into higher departments, and
individual scholars to higher classes.
The Beginners department promoted
class of nine present and two abb
sent to the Primary department, each
receiving beautiful certificate.
There were 95 present at the session.
Though the Endeavor societies
were not rally sessions, having mis-
sionary subjects, the Juniors had IA
present with Marjory Vandegrift,
leader. The Seniors had 80 present
with Spencer Caldwell, leader.
At the union services in the even
ing, a chorus choir with several from
the Methodist choir with Mr.. Talley,
director, led the congregational sing
ing. Rev. Tom Blodgett read the
Scripture and Mr.. Harry Watkins Of
ferred prayer. Mr.. Will Gibson gave
the addesss of the evening. Can
any good thing come out of Nazar-
eth?" was the question asked by
Nathaniel concerning Jesus. Mr..
Gibson paid high tribute to the div
unity of Christ. 1t seemed that it
was the divine law that great things
and good come out of small towns.
He gave many examples from history
of distinguished men who had come
from the small towns, nearly all the
presidents notably Lincoln and Gar
field, both Harding and Coolidge
having been mentioned. Also Schwab
and Burbank Mountain Home has
much to commend it, her citizens
past and present. Many excellent
young men and women from Noun

so many scholars are going away

SENDS US A MAP

The Republican is this week in re-
ceipt of a life-size map of the United
States, sent to us by our popular
congressman, Addison T. Smith. The
map is put out by the Department of
the Interior, and is strictly up to
date. 1t shows all of the territorial
purchases of the United States since
the inception of the nation, and has
all of the reservations and reclama-
ton projects indicated. The map
also shows all the railroads in
the country. Inset in the margins
are maps of our incular possessions.
Addison T. is in a class by himself
when it comes to being accommodate
ing and anticipating the needs of
his constituents,
