J -Alvin York, America's greatest c hero of the World war, has had J another streak of luck. Some people would call it that, but oth- 4 ers may give it another name. , York has been in debt and for two years his crops have not been profitable. He was offered a big sum to go into the movies, but declared he would go 'hungry Und cold before he would commercial- f ize the record he made in France. The Other day the Rotary club oi 1 -? Nashville took up a collection, 1 and paid off the mortgage on York's farm. The wolf has been , unveil iroiu Jus door. SSoiue peo pie will call this luck. Others will say it was the reward of faith 1 i Ninety-nine out of every hun 'J died Americans oppose sovetisiii | as they have been told it is prac .i ticed in Russia. Americans liavi ?' no patience with a governmeu ' that does not undertake to fur liish its citizens with protection of life and property and to guar : antee freedom in the pursuit oj j happiness. But what is the trutl. * about Russia f Are condition, there as bad as we have been lei. *<? to believe V Many people are ask 0 ing these questions 111 ail earn t estness. The belief is growing that there has been misrepresen 1 tat ion, either knowingly or unin .tentioually. The truth will conn out eveutually of course, and i. the people of the world find tha. i * they have been deceived tliev will resent it. , f. The National Cilv bunk of N??\\ York, after unalyzing the eensin figures for lust year, declare that for the first time in the his tory of the county there are mori people working in factories thai. * on farms. Fifty years ago then 1 were more thun twice as many ] eouutry workers as city workers This not only means that tin ; farmer now has a bigger inurkc 1 for his products, hut that lie is i greater buyer of manufactured goods becuuse an increasingly lurge proportion of factory _em s ployees are making things for tin comfort and convenience of tin c people in the country. If we for- ? get'the year or two of hard times, v now happily passing, we can see that farming is not a crowded l business, and we cun be sure thai 0 it will be generally prosperous in the future. The man who be- | comes discouraged and lea ves the lc farm because he thinks farming 1 "doesn't pay" soner or later is * apt to sec the mistake he has made. ^ I Sgfi ? Found Gold in Old House. < A few days agp Frank L. Shaw, I proprietor of a flour mill in Gallipolis, Ohio, was in ordinary eir* cumatanees. Today he is worth $40,000. Gold coins which had lain hidden from the world for 63 years were brought to light when carpenters, remodeling the old ' Shaw homestead, found the money hidden between the partitions. ] The money had been carefully , .hidden and was in good condition when fbnnd. It is believed ). the money waa hidden in the walls 1 of the house by Mrs. Shaw's ! grandfather, who lived alone. There are a few people who < really expect Congress to pam d < bombs bill in the near future. . i v * " FRIEND OF UAH. Volcanoes Do Much More Good Than Harm.

One of the most tremendous volcanic explosions in history, hat of Alt. Katmai, in Alaska, >vill be described and its effects >howti in motion pictures before' the Conference of Geography of the National Education ussocia-' ion, to be held in Boston, July 3.' Though unaware of the mighty | ipheuval, every inhabitant of the Suited States l'elt its effects, one ( >f which was the cold, damp I lumuier of 1912 caused by the uterceptiou of so much sunlight j >y the dust from the eruption \hich was quickly carried around ' he world.

Kutmai's eruption was unnotced because i t was so remote, lad the upheaval occurred in <Jew York city the sulphurous nines would have polluted the ir everywhere east oL the Rocky lountains, the noise would have everberated like an artillery luel across the Central States, lid the lower limtsoti iiseil iouUI have been a giant tomb kith few ruins even lo tell the lory. Fortunately liuimai's eruption irovided geographers one of their ;reatest opporiunities for stmlyug volcanic phenomena without ny frightful toil of human inisry. Katinai village, 20 miles roin the crater, wa? deserted beause all the natives had gone ishi:ig, according to their sum-, iicr custou. An area around Katmai, half, gain bigger than Delaware, was overed with a tool or more of sh, which was enough to destroy li but the hardiest herbaceous dants. Before the explosion a uffocuting blanket of incandesent saiul burst through orifices si the floor of the valley. When he explosion occurred two cubic ailes of material was blown oft In top of the volcanic mountain lid its present whereabouts, as he public bulletins would say, till is a mystery to scientists. The aftermath of this eruption promises to be one of the most irecious national heritages. Be'ond Katmai lies a great valley rom whose floor constantly asends millions of columns of team. These great rolling clouds >f vapor which go billowing down he valley, sometimes truiling out efore the wind a mile or more, xert an uncanny fascination. The vents through which the team escapes disclose eucrustaions of great beauty, variety and olor. There are masses of bright -allow sulphur, chunks of ash urned red and blue, and pure ihite masses of other material. You can cook your dinner over hesc jets of hissing steam.

So remote are these phenomena that members of the National Ueogruphic society's expeditious are the only white men who have yet explored them; but they are not inaccessible. A broad, deep harbor renders a landing easy, and 50 miles of roadway will place this natural wonder within the compass of a day's automobile trip from the harbor, mimed ideographic harbor, in honor of the National Ideographic society, which discovered and explored the region.

This is the time of year when those who like summer better than winter should have nothing to eomplain about. c The only trouble about a pair of dreamy eyes, says the Auguta Herald, is that you don't always know who they are dreaming about. Speaking of failures, what do you think of the mail who shot at Lenine and missed him? Don't believe all you hear about candidates, even it you say it yourself. Party platforms, remark# the Asheville Times, are generally made of gangplanks. Isn't is strange how the political bee so often buzzes around the head of a humbug?

A York special says that. the biggest oat crop produced in the county since 1915 is the one just harvested. The acreage was unusually large and the yield satisfactory.
