YOU'VE known that Prince Albert is the
finest tobacco that ever tumbled into

rolled cigarette? Say, now! You've got
a cigarette-experience coming. P. A.

write home about, for fact.
just get yourself tidy red tin OF a
toppy red bag Of P. A. today. Put a
pinch in paper and do your finger
exercise. Notice that it doesn't spill all

breeze. That's because Prince Albert is
crimp-cut and stays put.

A cigarette made with P. A. not only
rolls easier-it burns better and, what is
very important, it tastes better. Cool and
sweet and fragrant. Doesn't burn the
tongue or parch the throat. The Prince
Albert process prevents that. Go ahead

Step around the corner today and get
some p. A. Make some great cigarettes
with it. And, to vary your smoke-menu,
tamp a load of this wonderful tobacco
into the bowl of your old jinrny-pipe.

PAUL SMITHS, Sept. "a picture
Of political conditions encouraging to
the republican party in the face of the
fall congressional election campaign,
was brought to White Pine camp today
by Representative Tilson of Connecti-
cut director of the eastern headquar-
ters of the joint senate and house re-

York City.
Tilson accompanied President Cool
idge to the executive offices today and
was joined there by Senator Gillette,
republican, of Massachusetts, who is
spending few days near here and is
his associate in the New York office.
The republicans, Tilson predicted, will
suffer no net loss in their working
majority of 35 in the house this fall
while the elections will result in little
of any change in the senate situation.
The democrats, he added, would control
the next senate.
Continuation of the republican ad-
ministration at washington is the is

is widely distributed to be maintained

FLOOD CAUSES
TWO MILLIONS S
z DEAD
(By Dispatch A. :. wire)

CHICAGO Sept. 9.-Five lives were
known to have been lost and two
million dollars worth of damage had
been done at Terre Haute, Ind, and
Jacksonville, HIS, tonight in the
in ten days.
The storm vented it's wrath in CEN
trail Illinois and astern Indiana but
dipped its currents across Iowa and
northwestern Missouri.
Terre Haute, Ind, 9ae OF the heav-
lest sufferers in last nights deluge,
counted 25 coal fines idle, five rail-
roads all but imperative and many
industries smitten in a cloudburst
which brought more than six inches
of rain to the city in the most serious
inundation since the disastrous flood
of 1918. At Jacksonville Ills, water
light and power plants were put
out of commission, dam burst and
inhabitants of the city were driven
to the second stories of their homes.
Throughout central Illinois, Septem-
Der rainfall approximated II inches
in nine days, approaching the rainfall
record for the entire month.
The Wabash river was at flood
stage at Lafayette, Ind
The Davis Gardens, at Terre Haute,
largest green house gardens in the
world, were inundated by back waters
of Honey creek.
A Big -Four engine buried itself
in the mud and sand of creek near
Dudley, Ills, when rain washed out q
bridge, and II freight cars followed
It into the stream. The engineer
escaped with broken leg and q
fractured arm.
At Hannibal Mo-, where floods
ragged last week, a new rainfall of
three inches put three hundred homes
under water.
The bursting of levee at New
Canton, Ills, carried the body of the
aged Mrs. Whitley two blocks.
Thousands of motor cars were
abandoned in the stret at Springfield,
Ills, when six inches of rain fell.
Jacksonville was the victim of an
eight inch rain which left the city
without gas, electricity or water. A
narrow creek was swollen a mile
wide and hundreds of homes were
under water. Flood waters were
subsiding near Quincy.

MEXICO OFFERS S
.OPPORTUNIT I.E S,
STATES DAVI S

Some Of the interior provinces Of
Mexico offer unlimited opportunities
to men with average ingenuity and
a little capital" is the statement OF
Harlan f. Davis, civil engineer em-
ployed by the municipal water works
at Mexico City, who arrived in Doug
last Thursday en- route to visit his
parents and family at Dallas, Texas.
Davis has spent several years IN
Mexico, during whic htime he has
made many extensive tours through
the interior as an Investigating engi-
neer.
Mining probably comes first, Of
course" Davis states, because Mex
leo, owing to its mountainous nature,
is essentially mining country. But
mining has already been fairly well
exploited, while other fields, equally
rich, have not been touched. For
instance, / have spent days in virgin
forests of mahogany, rosewood and
other woods that would be worth
fortunes to the American furniture
manufacturing industry.
Being an engineer, and more or
less of a scout for money making
opportunities, 1 naturally notice con-
ditions in the sections l visit, and
some of these forests I mention have
numerous streams that could be
utilized to move logs to the rail
roads or seaports. In many cases,
a few thousand dollars equipment and
a dozen capable workmen would be-
gin to make money within 30 days
from the time they began work.
"Another case of fortune going 70
waste lies in the wild castor beans.
In some sections, these beans grow
luxuriantly. Native labor is cheap,
and a small plant for extracting the
oil from the beans, would yield a
fortune the first season. What Mex
leo needs is what Great Britain has
furnished in the far east in the rub
ber industry, capital and men to take
hold of undeveloped industries and
utilize them. With the steady in
crease in aviation, there ought to be
, immense fortunes in castor bean plan
tations in Mexico, because the oil
made from the castor bean is highly
, necessary as an airplane motor oil.
"Fhe vanilla bean also offers many
good opportunities. OF course, there
are already many vanilla plantations
in Mexico, but this plant is limited tc
the tropics. 1t is estimated that
Mexico could produce seven times its
present output of vanilla without
influencing the market to any ex-
tent. The zapote tree, which yields q
say from which commercial gum i!
made, can also be grown profitablJ
throughout the interior and south o
| Mexico.
81 look for a tremendous develop
ment in Mexico during the next few
years. Even at present, American
! industries are fairly safe anywher
| in the country, and the present chic
executive, President Gales, is far
sighted enough to realize that if TIL

POLICE CAPTURE

(By Dispatch A. P. wirs)

CHICAGO, Sept. Corn belt sleuths,
geared to the mud of an autumn rain,
today captured three jewel bandits and
recovered nearly $500,O0O in gems with
in 12 hours after the perpetration of a
bold train robbery The trio, who last
night gagged three jewelry statesmen
on crack New Orleans train Of the
Illinois Central and robbed them Of
their kits of gems, crawled from hay
NOW near Buckley, Ill, today and sur
rendered to a company of farmers and
sheriffs recruited from the whole coun-
tryside to intercept a flight to Chicago.
The captors then, aided by most of
the $50 inhabitants of Loda, ILL.,, track
ed through the mud along the bandits
trail and uncovered two brief cases,
cached under the scales of the village
stockyards, containing the fortune in
precious stones.
Tonight the jewel bandits were in
Jail at Champaign, while the three
salesmens who were robbed checked
over the recovered jewelry with Off
GERS.
The men gave their names as George
Brown and o. A. Burke of Chicago and
Harry Leonard of Butte, Mont.
Binding the statesmen, the three
thieves last night grabbed their pack
cts of gems and jumped off at Cham
paign, where they hired taxicab to
take them to Chicago.
! The statesmen spread the alarm at
Mattoon, and when the badits party
whirled northward through Paxton,
Sheriff Frank Curtis greeted it with a
volley of buckshot.
! The shot punctured the rear tires and
forced the robbers to abandon the taxi
at Loda, four miles north of Paxton
They ran on foot in the rain and the
night toward Buckley a few miles far

every barn and outbuilding, the posse
narrowed it's quest to a barn standing
alone on the outskirts of the village.

room occupied by the poyles, who
registered there last night. One ad-

gret over causing the hotel trouble
and enclosed $14 to pay the bill.

perintendent of police contained $lOO
and requested that the bodies be
"cremated and our ashes not kept.

to notify" and "the reason for our
act is that we are without means
to go on
When found the body of Mrs.
tDoyle was reclining easily on a bed,
while that of her husband was sit

After having taken the poison, the
