FROM AROUND ABOUS US

By a vote of 56 to 26 the U. S. seniate adopted the new compromise “Article X” of the league of nations Monday. The adoption of this reservation apparently has little bearing however oh tbe adoption of the covenant as a whole, when it comes up for passage. C. Robert Pollard of Delphi has been appointed a member of the hoard of equalization and valuation by Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels. During the war the government seized a large amount of land for war purposes all over the country and it will be the duty of this board to travel to the various places and act as court in placing the value of land on record. Mr. Pollard who served as a major with the American forces in France, will succeed Judge Preston of South Carolina, who resigned. Freda Fay Rardon, 9 years old, of Delphi died at St. Elizabeth hospital in Lafayette Friday night from burns received at her home Friday morning. The little girl was assisting her mother with the housework. The mother was in the dining room ironing and the child told her she would get dinner. According to Mrs. Rardon, Freda did not think the fire was burning strong enough and poured some eoa' oil on the smouldering coals. An explosion resulted in which the girl deceived burns resulting ini her death several hours later.
