TIMBER FROM
LIBBY PRISON
FOUND IN BARN

HAMLET, Ind, March 10. UP
Timber from Libby prison, peni-
tentiary of the Confederate army
during the Civil war, is contained
in huge barn on the Frank Davis
farm near Hamlet.
Mammouth beams, which stretch
across the top of the structure once
held Union prisoners captive in the
Richmond penitentiary. All the
massive timbers are of pine. Most
of them still are more sturdy than
other timber in the barn.
In 1893, the Libby prison was dis
mantled, brick by brick and piece
by piece, and removed to the
Worlds fair in Chicago. 1t was set
up at the intersection of Sixth and
Wabash streets. Guards were placed
around it in fear that Southern re-
sentmen: against the reminder of
the rebellion days would flare into
an attack on the structure.
When it failed as paying pro-
position, State Senator Danielson,
formerly a rich land owner near
Hamlet, bought the lumber and or
dered it shipped to his home. Later
it was converted into a barn.
1t has been reported that pieces
of the lumber have been purchased
by Henry Ford and also by the
1913 Worlds fair.
The barn stands on a plot Of
ground known as White Womans
Island" Tradition has it that In
dians once held a white woman
captive in this vicinity many years
ago.

up for Uncle Wiggily to see.
"Oh, dear me-" cried the rab =
bit gentleman in surprise.
What's the matter?" asked his
wife.
THAT pink cap will never fit
fat Mr.. Twistytail," said Uncle
Wiggily. 1T is much too small.
Besides, pink isn't his color"
mo, and this isn't his cap!"
said the rabbit lady with laugh.
Whose is it, then?" Uncle Wig
gily wanted to know.
IT'S for new baby pig that has
come to Mr.. and Mrs. Twistytail," "
said Mrs. Longears. Il want the
baby to have this pink cap to keep
its ears warm Will you leave it
as you hop past the pig house while
looking for an adventure?'
Surely 1 will" promised Uncle
Wiggily. Its a very pretty pink
cap" he said, as he looked at it.
Just the color of your nose, .

so it is" agreed Uncle Wiggily,
as his wife knit the last stitch and
handed the cap to him. "If lose
my pink nose in the snow I can
put this cap on, suppose"
"Oh, but don't lose your nose,
begged his wife. Il wouldn't like
you without your pink, twinkling
nose
II won't lose it if 1 can help it, -
! Mr.. Longears promised.
And don't lose the baby pigs

rabbit gentleman. Then, putting
the pink cap in his fur coat pocket
and taking his pink, tWinkling nos

out of his bungalow over the snow
covered fields and through the
woods, looking for an adventure.

gily was hopping past big bank
of snow the pink cap bounced out
Of his pocket and fell into the
white drift. Knowing nothing
about this, however, Uncle Wiggily
hoped on toward the pig house.
Il hope the new little baby pig
will like its pink cap" thought the
rabbit.
On and on he hoped, leaving
the pink cap sticking in the snow
far behind him. Then, all of q
sudden, along came the Fox and
the Bob Cat The two Bad Chaps
were looking for something to
nibble.
Look" cried the Bob Cat, as
they passed the snow bank.
What is it?" asked the Fox.
There's Uncle Wiggily's pink
nose sticking out of that snow
drift" mewed the Bob Cat. He
must be stuck there. Come on
Well dig him out and nibble him.
Hurry before he gets away!'
"Oh, what luck!" barked the
Fox. Yes, there's his pink nose" +"
he said, "and where the pink nose
is there the rabbit must be-"
The two Bad Chaps began to
dig fast and furiously with their
paws in the snow drift. They
paved the pink cap to one side
but did not know what it was.
Thinking it was the rabbits nose
the Bob Cat shouted:
There goes his noSei We've
pulled it off,
Never mind! Dig down and get
mimi" hoWled the Fox.
Faster and faster the Bad Chaps
dug. But of course when they had
dug to the bottom of the pile of
snow no Uncle Wiggily was there.
Fooled again!" snarled the Fox.
Yes meWed the Bob Cat, and
they SUNK away, leaving the pink
cap on the snow. After a while
Uncle Wiggily was almost at the
pig house. He felt in his pocket
for the pink cap but it was gone.
Dear me-" cried Mr.. Longears.
Il must have dropped it. I'll go
back and look for it," Running
back he saw the pink cap on the
snow. He also saw where the Bad
Chaps had dug big hole. But
they didn't get mel" chuckled the
rabbit. "Ha, Hal" Then he took
the cap to the baby pig who liked
it very much and said: Goo!
Goo' So everything was all right.
And if the milk bottle will stop
pouring water down the back of
the rocking chair to make il

Plan Memorial
To Washington

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, March 10.
The proposed memorial beacon
for Hampton Roads, in honor OF
George Washington, is receiving
serious consideration from leading
Virginians.
Charles E. Ford, representative
in the state house of delegates, is
author of bill introduced to take
the first step necessary by asking
that two acres of non-oyster pro-
ducing ground in Hampton Roads
be ceded to the federal government.
If it passes, Congressman S. Otis
Bland is expected to urge upon
congress an appropriation to carry
out the plan.
1t is proposed that an artificial
island be constructed of silt from
tidal action, and on the spot to
erect a statue Of Washington.
In Tulare County generally the
rainfall is three times what it was
one year ago.

CROWDED SCHOOLS

1T seems only yesterday that Harding
4 school, newest of additions to the city
school system. was completed and was
expected to help provide the city with
an adequate number of schools for many
years to come.
That was less than 10 years ago, and
already the schools are crowded far be-
yond their intended capacity.
Report made this week by the city
superintendent of schools shows an in
crease of 132 in the daily average attend
ance over the figures for last year.
Despite this hefty increase, there have
been no additional teachers employed,
the present staff taking on additional
work so that all necessary requirements
are met.
Increase in school attendance Is
healthy condition for any city and lndl-
Gates that FL Centro IS continually grow
ing.
Nothing has been said as yet by school
authorities, about increasing the capacity
of the schools, but It Is something that
is certain to come.
Even though this may be somewhat of
a burden, providing adequate schools
for their children is a fundamental prln-
ciple of the American people. They have
never shirked this duty from the colonial
days and it is not likely that it ever Will
be Shirked.
There is no better investment of public
money than that which provides the tu-
ture citizens of this country with the
greatest asset they can have for success
in life-a good education.

DANGEROUS ALWAYS

! GOING to sea, even in these days of
u modern steamships as palatial as the
home of nabob and with wireless
ready to summon assistance in time of
need. is not without its element of great
danger.
Storms of the last few days have
played havoc with shipping along the At
lantic coast and as this is written fears
are held for the safety of over 100 men,
comprising the crews of vessels caught
in the storm
While most of them are small craft,
the large liners have not escaped, at
least one having to send a call for help
while others report hard passages caused
by unusually heavy seas.
Incidents such as these not only en-
phasize the tremendous force welded by
nature. but make one think with pride
of those hardy old timers, who faced the
same conditions with none of the advan-
tages of modern days.
History has given too little recognition
to the marvellous feats of American sea-
