DEFIEs FLAMES FOR DOLLS
Fourteen-Year-Oid Girl Makes Desper

ate Attempt to Save PIaythinps.
Any girl will understand and sym
pathize with the impulse which sent
Mary 'Shaughnessy, fourteen, into
the smoke and flames consuming her
fathers residence, McHenry street
and White Plains road, Tuckahoe, N,
Y, in an effort to rescue her "chil-
dren" from the playroom.
That Mary did not share in the fiery
fate of her beloved dolls is due to
her father, James O'Shaughnessy, ex-
ecutiye secretary Of the American AS
ISOLATION of Advertising Agencies, who
overlook her ut the threshold Of the
burning room and dragged her back.
But Mary never gave thought to this
as she and her two sisters, Bride, nine,
and Jane, six, wept bitterly over the
mutilated remains of their little play
mates when they had collected them
for a funeral after the fire.
The sisters joined their voices In
angry screams at heartiess firemen
who threw more dolls and doll fur
nishings from the ruined upper story
Of the house.

DANGER IN DELAY.

| Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
for Moscow People to Neglect.
| The great danger Of kidney troubles
| is that they so often get firm hold
before the sufferer recognizes them.
Health will be gradually undermined.
|Backache, headache, nervousness,
lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary
troubles, dropsy, gravel and Bright's
disease may follow as the kidneys get
worse. Don't neglect your kidneys.
Help the kidneys with Doan's Kidney
Pills, which are SO strongly recon-
mended right here in Moscow.

Enoch Arden, melodrama in two
parts, with musical setting, will he
presented by Prof. ]. H. Cushman and
Mrs. Sharp of the university faculty,
Thursday evening, June %, at eight
O'Clock, in the auditorium Mrs. Nc
MILAN will assist with a group of
songs.
The interesting story of Enoch Ar
den is made doubly appealing by the
remarkable musical setting, written
by the famous composer, Strauss.
The music, which mirrors the story,
contains themes, or short melodies,
representing characters and incidents
which the listener is easily able to
recognize. The reading and the. music
are considered the finest and most
difficult things of their kind ever
written. The entertainment is free
to the public.

LOVE TRIANGLE TREATED
ROUGH BY ARAB FOLKS
Unfaithful Ones Are Stoned to
Death, Says Writer.

London,-Mr. and Mrs Sheik-the
husband and wife of the great sandy
spaces-must love each other until the
sands of the desert grow cold or they
are stoned to death.
Mrs Rosfta Forbes, writer and ex-
plorer, back from the East, told how
the Arabs handle the marriage and
divorce problem which is causing so
much concern among the western ma
lions.
1.-THE people themselves" she said,
"have peculiar punishment for mis-
conduct which usually acts as a de-
terrent for husbands and wives who
would otherwise err.
SHOULD a man or woman be I'M
faithful, the two guilty persons are
taken to a public square and buried
up to their armpits in sand. Then
their companions stone them to death,
showering curses on them for being
unclean. Obviously, prOmiscuous love
meets with little encouragement"
The divorce law of Arabia, the
for the wife to watch her steps
through the sand.
When a man can divorce his wife
by simply clapping his hands and re-
peating three times. II divorce you,"
the wife is sure to be careful, Mrs
Forbes declared.
To satisfy the curiosity Of the ma
tives, who have deep dislike for
strangers, and TO allay their hostility,
Mrs. Forbes passed as a woman bound
for the harem of wealthy sheik,
In one village, however, mob sur
the woman explorer and
pulled her from her horse. A tall,
Arao came along, beat
off the mob and took Mrs. Forbes to
his harem, where he treated her with

 The house members were eVentu- ally convinced that they had erred in their strategy. For when republi- cans, in the early spring of this yea. authorized another tentative appro- priation of $7,500, ,000--a sufficient sum to complete the master struc- ture-they did not renew their oppo- sition.
 Could Not Fool People.
 But the play of republican polt- ticians failed to fool the people. Muscle Shoals became q national is- sue. The farmers of the country, ap- parently, concluded to turn the ras- calls out" As a result, the over whelming majorities in the House and Senate were so drastically re- duced that in another session the re- publicans will retain possession 5y the narrowest margin, which, in view

 But even had the House acted and acted favorably, the Senate could not have acted.

 So the session came to an end. It was not a case of loves labor lost, however. though it was proved inn possible, for various reasons, to force Congress and the administration to accept the offer of Henry Ford.
 It must be borne in mind that even if the heavens fall, the Wilson dam. destined to be one of the wonders of the world, over which will perpet- ually flow three times as much water as falls from Niagara, will be con- pleted.

 Another wet propaganda organixa- tion, whose main activity Is the LAX ing of straw votes, apparently Is supported by small contributions so . licited from the people. Every man or woman who casts 8 ballot in one of it's "elections' later receives an appeal for money. Representative Louis c. Crampton of Michigan, read into the Congressional Record an affidavit from a former official or the organization This official had called the "campaign managers attention to irregularities in the way of the manager, according to the affidavit, was: "H-, we don't give n d- about the ballots it's the money we are after" Mr. Cramp- tou also read into the Record the comments ot New York Masis.ra.e who, in firing one of the young women workers of the organization for collecting moaey on the streets without a license, called the organl- zation a "phony enterprise"
 Even If the straw votes are taken purely as. preliminary to finan- cling, they constitute an 1nsidious sort of propaganda nkely tO HIS lead those who do not carefully an alvze the situation. It is probable that majority of those who vote In such .eelctions" do favor modified tion or repeal of the prohibition laws.
 Prohibftionists, having obtained their victory in regular elections pay little attention to the straw kind. Just before this wet organl- zation took its ballot in Washington, it announced that 3,ooo,oOo votes had been polled" up to that time ana that less than 1 per cent oi them opposed a return to beer and wine; That disparity is sufficient to lead ona to susnect that the official whose affidavit was read by Representative Crampton had ground for his com nlaint that there was some irsegular- ity in the counting of the ballots

CHAPTER 10 What About FutureH

And that is the century -olG stody of Muscle Shoals.
 l What of the future?
 If it be true, as the humorists con ! tend, that the first hundred years B the hardest. the future should be pretty soft.
 It is quite apparent, however, that the old struggle must be continued. Muscle Shoals. as has always been the case. IS highly controversial. Honest men differ in attempts to settle it from an economic standpoint. Dishonest men weigh their action or lack of action in accordance with their judgment of political effect. The greed of selfish interests has not been allayed.
 In this July, 1123, the peace which prevails is only a temporary lun. The advocates of the offer of Henry Ford. and the allied corporations, led by the Alabama Power company. will spring at each others throats as soon as the Congress reassembles in | December.
 Gorgas Fly Jn ointment.
 There is a chance that a single epochal event may mar the rather propitous prospect before Congress reoonvenes. It has been made known that the contract between the gov ernment and the Alabama Power company, respecting Gorgas, gives the company an opportunity to de- | mand that the government. having | ceased buying power from the com pany, remove it's effects from the 1 land of the company. or sell those eff 1 fleets. It was observed that the com | pany, aware of the storm such proce- l dure would conjure up, would scarce l ly but stanchly by his guns; and take an advantage that wartime contract gives it.
 
 | the company to proceed and hurl Gorgas into the jeopardy of litiga- tion, Henry Ford would remain quiet | ly but staunchly by his guns; and possible that even were Gorgas forci- bly, removed from the power of the | government to award 1t in accord ance with the wishes of Congress, the Detroit philanthropist would still re- main a bidder for Muscle Shoals. It is known that he has visions of con ferring a still greater benefit on the people of the country before ne com pletes his span of years.
 Fewer Renctionnries.
 But should the company remain | passive until Congress reconvenes the situation would be, practically, as it was when Congress adjourned last March, with this significant differ enoe:
 There will be fewer rcactionary re- publicans. those who blindly follow the instruction of their political mas ters, those who are invariably amen | able to the dictation of "big busi- ! ness" and more, "progressiVes," with an independent mental inclination, and democrats.
 | This remarkable change in person <. nel will rebound incstimably to the advantage of the Ford proposition. Democrats, practically to the .ndivid- ual, will rally to the cause of Muscle | Shoals. And "progressives," in great majority. will stand with them. | In December democrats began I clamoring for vote on Muscle | shoals They were put off with soft
 words and empty promises. Early in January republican leaders conspired

BANK Thief is
STILL AT LARGE
SHERIFF ELLER HAS BEEN
WORKING ON THE CASE
ALL WEEK.

The unknown person, who
robbed the Cottonwood State
Bank, last Friday at 1890 p. M,
is still at large and while at lib
crty, is being hunted day and
night by Sheriff William Eller
and his deputies.
So excited were citizens fol-
lowing the robbery that few de-
tails were obtainable from any
one for our last weeks issue.
Since then, several little incl
dents coupled together shows the

So far as the actual robbing
was concerned, and in which Mr..
Belknap was the second fiddler

icle was about correct.
Movements of the bank robber
shows that he intended to rob
the bank Thursday instead of
Friday.
Thursday his car was parked
in front of the R. A. Minis resi-
dence for almost two hours dur
ing all Of which time the engine
was running showing that he in
tended 10 make a quick get-a-
way. The running of the car SO
annoyed Mrs. Minis that she
made special trip to the car to
see what was the matter. Upon
investigation she found no one in
the car and noted that the
wheels on the car were painted
yellow. The following day, Fri
day. the day of the robbery, he
again appeared at almost the
same spot and this time Mrs
Minis was engaged in her house
work that required her attention
on the porch and he did not gel
out of the car until she had gone
into the house. All the time
Mrs. Minis was on the porch he
watched her through the bacl
window of the car. Mrs. Minis
also noted that the car this time
had black wheels. After leaving
the car he investigated condi
tons in the alley back of tht
bank. Tt was after this investi
