Fresh calamity has overtnken t.
kio and the terrorstricken remnants
of its population. Nearly 10000 peo-
pie, seeking refuge in the yard Of y
military clothing factory located IN
a suburb, were trapped by flams.I
and burned to death.
Two hundred and sixteen distinct
earth shocks were felt in Toxic last
Saturday followed by 81 Sunday. Thc
most severe tremor was Of six min
utes duration.

burned four hours and fifty minutes,
leaving Toxic and its environs in
ruins and dissolution.
Fl Square Miles Devasted
Fire and earth convulsions together
have devastated an area Of 81 square
miles in and about Toxic, demolisL-
ing 35O,O00 houses.

ed. An official statement received
by the Japanese counsul-general in
San Francisco says that the great
port itself and the Yokosuka naval
station have been wiped out. This
message added that more than halr
of Toxic had been destroyed.
From Osaka comes q dispatch as
serting that new volcano has
broken into activity SO miles north
west of Toxic
Meanwhile the Japanese cities and
towns unaffected by the disaster are
making every effort to relieve the
conditions Of the millions who arc
believed to be suffering from injur-
les and lack Of food.

wards virtually undamaged was re-
leased by Consul Guyana At Sar
Francisco who received his inform1 :

Rotarians See Need
The corn and dairy show was the
topic presented to the Rotarians by
the September program committee
consisting of A. F. Bradley and Supt.
Saxvig. Mr.. Bradley presided and in
his opening remarks indicated the
demand among the merchants and
people generally for fair or series
Of entertainments that would be Of
, an educational nature and at the
same time bring trade into the city
by advertising Bismarck's many ad-
vantages. Other cities it was point
cd out had distanced Bismarck in this
respect
George Will of the Will Seed Com
pany and Carl Nelson of the North
ern Produce gave forceful talks show
! ing the advantages to be gained by
the community in such q project.
Bismarck is the corn cspital

"As fine specimens ~ are produc-

Great Need Seen
"Dairying continued Mr.. Nelson is
being started in Bismarck and is
part of the Rotary program but we
need to foster it more and more. It
is necessary to have a fair associa-
tion to afford the farmers a place of
exhibit and entertainment"
Mr.. Will declared that South Da-
kota, Montana and other states had
corn shows. This state he declared
was ahead of Montana, Wyoming and

ATTEMPT IS MADE
 ID STEAL SNAKES Deadly Cobras of Bronx Zoo
 EnVied by Robbers

New York. Oct. 3.-Somebody tried to steal four deadly cobras from the reptile house at the Bronx zoo. Who, or why, is what Dr. William F.. Horn aday. director of the zoo, is trying to find out.
 When the keeper went to work yesterday morning he found a glass cutter, various other tools, sawdust and a snake stick near the cobra case. The snake thief had evidently been scared away while at his work. The cobras were still there.
 The whole zoo force immediately set to work to figure out why any one should want cobra, and if he did who he was. Dr. Hornaday said the snake chaser was evidently fa- miliar with reptiles and with the zoo. He said the only other market for cobras in the United States is the Philadelphia zoo. They are worth sl0 apiece.

 The moment this sulphur prepara- tion is applied the itching stops and after two or three applications, the eczema is gone and the skin is de- lightfully clear and smooth.

Rod Rules in Mohawk Valley Schools

ut does not appear by any witness,
including this boy, that he was phys
ically injured. 1t does not appear but
that this boy Is Of full size for his
age and in good health. No anger
or passion or malice on the part of
this teacher was shown.
''It will be noticed that in law the
same rule applies to teacher as to
a parent; and l am sure that II the
father or mother Of this boy had done
just what this teacher did and had
been arrested, there would not have
been a conviction.
"A teacher must be In authority
and have control in school. If not.
there would be no school. Many
years ago a learned and judicious
schoolmaster said to Charles III, in the
plenitude of his power: Sire, pull
off thy hat in my school, for If my
scholars discover that the king Is
above me in authority, they will soon
cease to respect me- and the king
pulled Off his hat to demonstrate by
example that the schoolmaster's au-
thority should be respected even by a
king"

Has Brown Mountain Ghost Been Laid?

mons and Overman to send an expert
from Washington. Uncle Sam has no
"ghost experts" but the geological
survey sent down Mr.. Mansfield with
all sorts of instruments. He was as
busy as Sherlock Holmes day and
night, and he laid the ghost thus:
What the bewildered observers
saw were locomotive and automobile
headlights miles away across the
Catawba, valley-in some cases 45
miles distant. At nightfall the cold
air currentsN on either side Of Brown
mountain crept down into the valleys,
producing extraordinary atmospheric
effects which resulted in refractIng,
magnifyipg, sometimes coloring and
at all times distortlng any light seen
through this strange veil. A head
light, instead Of showing beam, as
usual, would. through; the ven of
twisted air, show like bail of seeth-
ing light. Two automobile head
lights would show as one nebulous and
furtive illumination. Strange effects
would be produced by the locomotives
or automobiles turning curves.~
Some Of the local scientists edo not
accept the headlight theory and de-
clare that the mystery win be solved
with some explanation related TO the
mineral and chemical products of the
REGION which are out of ~ usual. !
