STORM CLOUD HAS
SILVER LINING

The one bright spot, or word
Of cheer, to come out Of the re-
cent storm that laid waste a
wide path across Dickenscr; coun
ty is the report that shiny,
gaudy, nickle-plated Juke Box,
or noise machine, was seen float
ing down Pound River Wednes-
day, with the dark depths OF
Skagg's Hole in the Breaks as it's
eventual lodging place. Burl
Short, good citizen of the Pound
River section, says that he saw
it with his own eyes, so we ac-
cept it as e fact and rejoice with
those from whose midst it was
taken.

During the electrical storm
early in the week, lightning
came down the radio aerial wire
at the home of Fernoy Hughes

knocked out and the wall paper
set on fire. None of the family
were in the room, Or near, when

The Elder Looks For Missing Man

Freezing, July 9.-John Cox,
we'll known Pine Creek citizen,
disappeared from the walks Of
men, so far as his Cumberland
Mountain haunts were concerned
July 4, 1889. Estranged from his
family, he had been staying
along the top Of Cumberland
mountain for some time, and it
was at once surmised that he
might have been slain. Credence
was lent to that belief when
pools of blood were noticed on
the road in the north of the
mountain. Various rumors of
how and where he met death
have seeped since from the sec

Village Of Pound
Covered By Water

Dickinson and surrounding
counties this week went through
the worst wind, rain and cleo
trical storms in their history. All
details of destruction have not
yet been heard, but damages
amounting to many thousands of
dollars have been suffered.
Pound, Va, an oasis for the
thirsty in prohibition days but
fairly dry of late years, is all
wet again and has suffered heavy
damages. A cloudburst hit in
that section Wednesday morning
and flood waters removed that
section known as the Jerky with
the sole exception of one small
building and piled the wreckage
up behind the Pound bridge. The
main part of the town was I'M
der about four foot of water .ac-
cording to report as we'll as the
residential section known as the
Island.
The large store building of
Henry Mullins was washed sew
eral hundred yards from it's foun
dalton and turned completely
around.
That old /. landmark, the Gus
Robinson Mill, which was built
just after the Civil War and has
been kept in repair by the Rob-
inson family up to the present
,time, was torn from its founda-
ton and washed down the river
in sections. A rumor today has
it that it was thought to women
who went into the mill for shell
ter during the storm were caught
in the building when it fell and
lost their lives. However, moth
ing more has been heard of this
and no one is reported missing
in that esction.
On down in Dickinson County,
Little Zion church was blown
from its foundation, as we'll as
the store building of the late j.
C. Swindall. Porches and roofs
were blown from several houses
in that section also. It was said
that crops, such as corn and to-
bacco, were laid flat by wind and
hail along Pound River, Clint
wood and vicinity escaped with
only slight damages to crops.
Watchers along the river re-
port that during the crest of the
tide a steady stream of lumber,
furniture and fixtures and one
juke box floated by. A large
quantity of motor oil in cans
came downstream and lodged

the capacity copper production in
Michigan is being passed up.

from an inspection trip in the cop

he also maintains.
To man undeveloped mines in
the northern district, Hook is seek

This demand came after certain
Michigan copper miners were yank-

home in Michigan. The congress

Doesn't.
Like
Passover
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ
Copyright, 1912, Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency. Inc.

Hitler doesn't like the Bible
and perhaps the part of it which
he likes least of all are those
chapters of Exodus which form
the basis for our Passover Festi-
val, recalling the emancipation of
a people which took place long,
long ago.
It took place at the beginning
of spring and this makes Hitler
more uncomfortable, for he has
been looking forward to this
spring as a time for regaining
lost laurels.
A people arose and rebelled a
gainst a tyranny like that of his,
and you remember, the Bible tells
us that their leader brought many
plaques against the Egyptians,
"but the Lord hardened the heart
of Pharaoh" for the Lord wanted
to bring about his complete de-
struction The Lord hardened
Fitler's heart" too. Russia has
dealt him mighty blows. The en-
trance of the United States into
the war is another mighty blow
to him, but the Lord hardened
his heart"
1t is strange how the figure of
the man who led this people in its
fight for freedom has doomed
through the ages. One might
imagine that the Tyrant of that
day, the Hitler of that day, too
might DE a subject of lasting in
terest. But his identity is clouded

enters the melee. We can mag
inc how he feels. He knows the
history of the Jews of Egypt. He
knows how they came into the
land and how some of them rose
to positions of power, how Joseph
had been a prime minister. He
knows how later demagogues a
rose to attack the Jews, saving
that they were a pastoral people
but didn't worship cattle. Nc
Williamses and Coughlins of Egypt
arose and said that people who
didn't fall PROSTATE and do obeis-
ance before a COW or rattlesnake
were not good Egyptian citizens.
And the movement against the
Jews grew and various edicts
were passed against them. We
Will enslave and eXterminate
them, they said, and one law was
passed that every male child that
was porn 10 Jews was to be toss
ed into the Nile. And those males
who had arrived at maturity were
put to work making bricks and
building pyramids.
Moses himself had been shield
ed from all this and there is no
evidence of any Jewish chauvin-
ism in him at all. He marries
outside of his people and freely
accepts counsel from Egvptian
non-Jews. Nay more, he appears
to have had a great following a.
mong Egyptian non-Jews, for the
Bible tells us that when the Jews
went forth out of Egypt, an "erev
rab" or great multitude of nom
Egyptians went along with them.
He was. We can see, a great social
leader who raised his voice for
the freedom of all and for all the
freedoms. Freedom from ON.

in fog and what is more there
is little speculation, little interest
in him. It is this man, Moses,
who intrigues us. He intrigues
intellectuals, of the most diverse
types. from a man like Henry
George whose first serious work
was an appreciation of Moses to
a man like Freud and a Heinrich
Heinie who, though entirely loos-
ed from dogma and religious ties,
talks of Moses standing on Mount
Sinai making the mountain seem
small by comparison with him.
What was Moses like?
A rather strange and almost
fantastic figure and yet a warm,
human personality. Of his child
hood we know little. except that
seemingly he had been raised by
an Egyptian princess. The first
spark that seems to connote a
flesh and blood reality is when he
is walking along the roads and
sees an Egyptian maltreating a
Jew. Moses overcome by wrath

from enslavement by false; ideas
and false ideals. Now detected he
becomes dropping and breaking
the tablets of the Ten Command
ments, when he comes down from
the mountain to find the Jews
bowling and offering alteration be-
fore a Golden Calf. Moses knew
that we are created by the way
we conceive our Creator, that if
we worship Golden Calves we be-
come Golden Calves.
