How Refugees in Holland Towns Seek to Communicate With Friends Who Follow.

Last of Our Big General Clearance . . . .

Edqak Walts, Publisher

The town of Bergen-op-Zoom, Holland, is full of heartbreaking pictures today, but to me the most pathetic of all is the writing on the walls, says a correspondent of the London Evening Hews. It is a tremendous tribute to the good heartedness of the Dutch that they do not mind having their scrupulously clean houses defaced for the moment in this way. Scribbled in white chalk over all the Avails, shutters and fences, windows, tree trunks and pavements are the addresses of the frenzied refugees, trying to get in touch with their lost relations.

a suit or overcoat now or who want to make a good investment for the future ought to make a special visit to our store just now.

The groundhog is supposed to dominate the weather after his appearance on February 2, but Rev. Irl Hicks anticipates him and tells you just what you are likely to receive, even to the earthquakes, as he predicted them in January. Read it aud see how you like it: The first reactionary storm period is central on the 1st, 2d and 3d. A change to warmer weather will pass from west to east over most parts of the country on and touching the 1st, 2d and 3d, attended by falling barometer clouds and rain—the rain turning to snow over central to northern sections of the country. The moon will be on the celestial equator on the 3d, moving toward its south declination. Winter lightning and thunder, especially southward,will be natural on and touching that date, but sudden revulsion to severe cold should be looked for within a few hours of these electrical storms. This change to rising barometer and cold, clearing weather, will reach most parts of the country, moving from west to east, from about the 2d to the 6th. The first regular storm period extends over the 5th to the 11th, having its center on Sunday, the 7th.

NOT OBSESSED BY THE WAR

British Public Evidently Has Time to Give Its Attention to Other Subjects.

The big reductions we’re giving all over our store is like paying you to wear good clothes. Ev= erything in furnishings, hats and shoes, as well as clothes==worth as much as ever but we must make room for spring goods already ordered.

On all the trees, too, little bits of paper are pinned, covered with addresses and messages, such as “The Family Montchier can be found in the church of St. Joseph, under the grand altar,” or “Anna de Cart with Pierre and Marie and grandmother are in the school of music.”

The historian of the future may wish to know how this, the greatest war in history, affected the thoughts and interests of those who lived through it. There will be one document of the period—if it survives—which will perhaps cause the historian some slight surprise. It will be a few inches snipped from the London Cientral News “tape.” The Central News “tape” is a concise news summary which gives the brief essentials of all that is happening in the world from hour to hour, and which is supplied by a telegraph printing machine to newspaper offices and clubs. This is how the particular passage came through: “Mr. Churchill, responding to the toast of “Our -Imperial Forces,” said that 80 miles away the greatest battle in the world’s history was going on. Yet there they sat, and to the outward eye nothing was altered. That was due to the navy.

“10:23—The principal bout at the ring this evening was a twenty threeminute rounds contest between Alec. Lambert, St. James, and Joe Starmer, Kettering. The bout had a very unsatisfactory ending, Lambert being knocked out in the second round, claiming, however, that he had been fouled. The referee, however, gave the verdict to Starmer.”

“Les Soeurs Kartell et grandmere are in the church of the Holy Martyrs,” “La Famille Demina are in the fifth tent of the encampment on the artillery ground.” “M. and Mme. Ardige and their seven children are

These storms will be crossing the central Mississippi valley about the 8th and 9th, with barometer rising and cold, clearing weather advancing from the west, and threatening storms approaching the Atlantic coast states. The second reactionary storm period falls centrally on the 12th, 13th and 14th. The Venus disturbance will still contribute its influence, in connection with the moon’s conjunction with the earth and sun on the 13th. A wave of warmer weather, falling barometer and sudden, severe storms of wind and rain, followed by snow and cold, will touch most sections —beginning far west —on and touching the 12th, 13th and 14th.

SCHOOLMARM HOUNDS DEER.

Elmdale.

On the last day of the deer season ■Miss Anna Strouble, a Fields Station school teacher, aided in an exciting hunt. On her way to the schoolhouse she discovered a large buck grazing in a field along the road. The animal saw the woman, but paid little heed to her.

Sunday being the regular meeting day at the Baptist church Rev. Jerry Groff of Covington filled the appointment. Mrs. Dr. Oliu spent last Thursday with her daughter, Mrs. V. C. Merritt.

The second regular storm period is central on the 19th, extending in its influence from the 16th to the 21st. The 18th, 19th and 20th are the culminating days of this period. On aud touching these days, storms of greater or less severity will prevail generally. The third reactionary storm period is central on the 24th, 25th and 26th. On and touching these days, all careful observers will see that the sky will soften, winds will turn to southerly, followed by falling barometer, change to warmer, with return of rain and snow, drifting progressively over the country from west to east. Anotherdecided spurt of cold, with rising barometer and northwest winds, will follow these storms. Cold, disagreeable weather will prevail over most parts. of the country, as February comes to a close. Under the influence of an oncoming regular storm period, change to warmer, with falling barometer, will be noted in extreme western parts of the country about the 27th and 28th. These conditions will increase and spread east ward during the opening days of March. Seismic disturbance? will be reported during the first three or four days of February, the period being central on January 30th.

The teacher watched the buck for a short time and then started back to her home to summon hunters. She met several of her pupils on the way and sent them back while she returned to follow the deer. She made a trail for the hunters by scattering bits of tom paper as she followed the animal through the fields to the woods. The hunters quickly followed the line of paper bits, and soon overtook the woman and the deer.

The school teachers from here attended the Teachers Association at Crawfordsville Friday and Saturday.

Misses Dee Patton and Leona Tribby of Breaks spent from Thursday night until Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Kennedy. Several from here saw the basket ball game at Waynetown Saturday night.

None of the Fruits More Potent in the Effects Upon the Human Svstem.

Sin«e the dawn of creation the grape has played a part in the history of mankind. IVe find mention of unfermented grape juice in the earliest recorded history. In Greece and Persia grapes were made into a sirup in order that they might be preserved as long out of season as possible. The grape contains many healthgiving elements. Both the water and sugar of the grape require no digestion, so can readily be taken into the blood. The mineral elements in the fruit clear, strengthen and cleanse the liver, kidneys and intestines. Some one has aptly said that if the grape were a medicine more could not be claimed for it.

QUICK CHANGES.

"It used to be so that if anything important happened in Mexico we could always dig up a picture of Diaz and run it on the front page,” said the managing editor. “That’s so,” agreed the telegraph editor.

A WAR TERM.

BUILD A TOWN FOR REFUGEES.

McBride spent Sunday with Ora Rafferty and family. Revival meetings begin at Center church Sunday. Rev. Newhouse is in charge of the meeting.

Grape sugar is one of the most important elements contained in the fruit. Albuminous matter, lime, iron, genuine cream of tartar, which is the natural salt of the grape, and vinous acid, which is similar to the malic acid of the apple, are also found. Indeed, there is no safer tonic in health or general ill health than the grape. The grape is at its best when nipped by the frost. Those who have had the pleasure of breakfasting on cold grapes pulled from the vine on a frosty morning will, indeed, vote them a rare treat.

AGREED.

“Our neighbors seem pretty weak in use o’ grammer, don’t you think ?” “Yes, I seen they was ’s soon ’s they beginned to talk.”

PROFESSIONAL RESULT.
