THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1922. 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

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

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.

W ithout volcanoes it is now beieved
that there would be no

which human life would not

One of the most tremendous
volcanic explosions in history,

the National Education ussocia-'
ion, to be held in Boston, July 3.'
Though unaware of the mighty |

Suited States l'elt its effects, one (

uterceptiou of so much sunlight j

\hich was quickly carried around '

{ussiuA church is a relic of the
me-time Russian America.
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.

So remote are these phenomena

place this natural wonder within

the National Ideographic society,
which discovered and explored

Oat Crop Good, Wheat Off.
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.
The wheat crop, on the
other hand, has been disappointing,
with the acreage small. For
years York farmers have not obtained
satisfactory results from
wheat growing, the result being
