Nath Edwards Tells Stories of Freaks

BY N. H. EDWARDS ECONOMY, Ind., March 7 There are many peculiar formations of tree roots and here are two of the water-beech family. One was found just over the Randolph county line and was in a thicket, where shinney clubs were being grubbed up when the head of a donkey was noticed, formed by the roots of a little water-beech. It was handed to a wood carver to finish up and with a few moves with a vainer, parter and gouge tool, a perfect donkey head was the result It was the artistic cane of the late Preston Burnett and is still owned by his widow, Mrs. Lydia Burnett of Economy. The second one is of the same tree family and perfectly resembled a big house snake. Coiled with head erect and neck gracefully arched it did not take many minutes for the carver to open its eyes and open the mouth lines more distinctly. An innocent looking water-beech root is now a belligerent looking snake.

CONGRESS MAY PROBE GERMAN ALLIANCE

WASHINGTON, March 7. A sweeping congressional investigation of the charges published by the New York World today that the National German American Alliance has conspired to force passage , of warning resolutions through congress will be ordered if the administration forces in congress are able to control the situation. This will be determined on after action is had in the house today on the proposition to cable the McLemore resolution. If the administration forces are successful it is expected that a resolution calling for an investigation of the entire matter will be ordered without delay. . ' According to the charges, printed by the World in a copyrighted article today, the alliance; the chief offices of wLlch are in New York city, has a congressional program calling for legislation that would force refusal by the United States of passports to Americans who travel on ships of belligerants; an embargo on exportation of all contraband of war, and prohibiting federal reserve banks from subscribing, for war loans. In .addition, it is also alleged that the Alliance planned to control the VEIL OF SNOW COVERS GERMAN FLEET'S MOVE LONDON, March 7. A heavy snowstorm was" raging over the North Sea today, and no confirmation was available of reports that a big German war fleet had sailed out of Wilhelmshaven, presumably for the purpose of giving battle to the British. In this same connection it was reported from Amsterdam that a number of big German warships have slipped from the Kiel canal and have taken refuge in the German naval base at Zeebrugge, Belgium, where they are continuously held ' with steam up. A Central News dispatch from Vlieland, Holland, says that a fleet of twenty-five German men of war was observed on Monday in the North Sea, finally disappearing in a northerly direction. There has been active communication between the British and Russian admiralties, recently, giving rise to the belief that English and Russian warships will co-operate when the ice goes out of the Baltic and will prevent all German merchant ships from leaving port. At present there is lively maritime trading between Germany and Sweden. The reindeer has been known to pull 200 pounds at ten miles an hour for twelve hours.

I HOT TEA BREAKS A COLD-TRY THIS Get a small package of Hamburg Brest Tea. or as the German folks call It, "Hamburger Brast Thee, at any pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of boiling water upon it, pour through a sieve and drink a teacup full at any time. It is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip, as it opens the pores, relieving congestion. Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking a cold at once. It is inexpensive and entirely vegetable, therefore harmless. Adv. C,
