He delights to talk of others' faults and he is happy when he finds something mean or evil to say of foe, for a friend he has none. He feeds and profits on the fifth just as the carion crow feeds and thrives on dead carcasses. MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY."

Ronalds, of Saline Co., as a Republican candidate for a member of the Leislature from the 51st Senatorial District. Mr Ronalds, is well known in his county, having held many important positions of emolument and trust in his county among him being that of County Judge, also serving as a member of the Legislature four years ago. He is an able lawyer, perfectly qualified to hold his own among the great array of legal talent and to represent his constituency with honor to himself and credit to himself Give him a fair consideration. Du-Ouoin Please allow me space in your paper to say that I am well satisfied in my new field of labor. I find them wide awake intellectually, financially and spiritually, a solendid church edifice, and a live congregation. A good deacon board who work jointly with the trustees: everything is well systematized. A live S S, able Supt. and teachers, a live B Y P, U. Attendance on an average from 40 to 60 each Sunday, from 6:30 to 7:30. It is a burning bush unaparently; closing with reading of good papers, singing, duetts, solos and orations. We have a choir that is full of heavenly enthusiasm. The church is divided into three clubs who assists the deacons and trustees in case of necessity and they delight in doing so. It is a source of pleasure to me to pastor such people. We ask the prayers of the East Mt. Olive, also our sister, the Old Mt. Olive. We shall greet you at the setting of the next association for we are on our way. We are certainly glad of the wonderful success our friend and yoke fellow in the gospel has met with in being raised to the envied and exalted position as pastor of the historic St. Paul Baptist church and shall expect to hear of a great work by this strong minister of God. That church should compliment themselves on being able to secure the services of the able divine. Here is wishing you the greatest possible success. "Go to it and help yourself."

Harper is well known in Metropolis, having lived here a few years ago and well liked by those of his associates, Allen, lived in Paducah, at one time and was tie carrier New Baggage Regulations of the "Q" The public will welcome the new baggage checking regulations which will be effective on the Burlington commencing March 1, when passengers checking baggage will be given the the opportunity to declare the actual value of their belongings, thereby being assured of proper protection in the event of loss by theft or otherwise in transit. The old rule, limiting the liability of the carrier to $100 per adult ticket was necessary to properly protect the road from unscrupulous persons who, in case of theft or damage, filed claims greatly in excess of the actual value of the baggage checked. The new rule operates to protect the owner by giving the opportunity to declare the value of baggage, at the time of checking and, at the same time, protects the carrier from the necessity of entertaining claims for exorbitant amounts in the event anything goes wrong with the baggage before delivery at destination. Receipts for money paid for excess valuation will be indicated by adhesive stamps affixed to the back of the passenger's check. Another rule provides that small domestic pets, valued at not more than $25 and properly caged or crated may checked for modest charges when the personal property of the passenger and not intended for sale. These radical departures from best conditions will give the traveling public added covenience and at the same time, protect the carrier as well.

Pay Your Subscriptions Claude L. Rew of Harrisburg, Saline County, Announces His Candidacy for Legislature In this issue of the Metropolis Gazette will be found the official announcement of Claude L. Rew as a candidate for re-election to the legislature on the Republican ticket. As everybody knows Claude is a former Massace county boy, having been raised in Metropolis, his parents being Mr. and Mrs. John W. Rew of this city. Claude made the race two years ago and was elected by a large majority. No better commendation can be said of him than an article published in his home paper, the Harrisburg Daily Register, which is as follows: Why Claude L. Rew Merits Re-election As the time for the Republican primaries in April approaches, it becomes apparent to all that the voters of Illinois should exercise the greatest care and precaution in selecting the various candidates. This is especially true of the man who will be sent to the next session of the Illinois General Assembly. There's an old axiom which says that it "Is unwise to change horses in the middle of the stream." That old adage can justly be applied to the importance attached to the selection of candidates for the lower house of the next General Assembly of Illinois inasmuch as there is so much legislation started last session and yet unfinished. Claude L. Rew, present Representative, is before the people again for renomination by the Reublicans, and if the old adage ever held true as quoted above, it unquestionably stands up in the present case. To say that Mr. Rew "made good" in his first term as an Illinois legislator would be putting it very mildly. Two years ago when he announced his candidacy, that young man was practically unknown outside of his own city. He delved into the campaign with such vigor and with such enthusiasm and determination that it quickly dawned upon the people that he meant business; that he was a young man of promise and action; that he was going to show to the world what a young man could do when he tried. He resorted to a great newspaper and publicity campaign and practically every hilltop and valley in the five counties was placarded with lithographic pictures of this hustling candidate. Into every district he went alone and single handed, placing his advertising matter and meeting man after man as he went along, introducing himself and making friend after friend. He bombarded the Johnson county fair at Vienna, taking with him the Harrisburg band, of which he was and is yet a member, a unique effort and one that was commented on all over the state. When the votes were counted on the night of the primary it was found that Claude L. Rew was an easy winner. He was triumphantly elected at November election and no man ever made a more pronounced success in his first term as such legislator than did Mr. Rew. He was from the very start of his official duties in Springfield a booster for the people of his five counties. He stood flat-footed for better roads. He wanted his district to get its share of the state hard roads. Pope and Hardin counties alone should give him a solid vote to send him back to the legislature for the efforts he put forth in their behalf relative to good roads and in fighting Mounds Please allow space in your valuable paper to say that the St. John church is still moving onward to Zion. The S. S. was opened by the Supt. Bro. Mayberry, at 9:30 a.m. Banner classes two and four. Total collection $4.24 The lesson was discussed by the pastor, who gave some very wholesome instruction. We had one visitor Bro. Turner, he gave as a good lecture on thankfulness to God for his loving kindness. We all enjoyed it. At 11:00 prayer service by the deacons for 30 minutes, the pastor delivered a strong sermon, text, St. John 9:25 The sermon will for those two counties. He fought equally hard for Saline, Hamilton and Johnson. He was granted concessions and received many favors something entirely unusual for a legislator during his first term. Among the bills that he offered during his first term were the following: House Bill No. 66.—A bill for a Uniform System of all county books and an annual auditing thereof, saving thousands of dollars each year of the taxpayers' money. House Bill No. 408.—A bill to prevent collection of rentals of personal property by unscrupulous persons, in the way of advance payments. This bill makes it a law that where a deposit is required on the rental of a price of personal property, that deposit must be kept in a bank or trust company in the county the party making the agreement lives in and in event of failure to carry out the contract the person making the advance payment may go to his bank and release his advance payment. This became a law and went into full effect and force July 1, 1921. House Bill No. 409—Provided that each person operating an automobile should be furnished with a card of identification, so that it would be made harder for automobile robbers to operate. House Bill No. 590—The collective bargaining bill that was introduced at the instance of organized labor. House Bill No. 647—A bill to install limestone crushers in the southern end of Illinois to furnish limestone for ftererlizing purposes to the farmers at the actual cost of production. This bill was delayed on account of the unusual amount of appropriations that were being asked for, but will come up again at the next session. House Bill No. 814—Regulates the use of electricity in mines. Provides that all mines using alternating current underground shall maintain fireproof rooms in which to install transformers which shall be constructed with automatic cutouts. Also provides for the proper insulation of all electrical wires. Became a law July 1, 1921. House Bill No. 815—Amends section 2 of the 1907 shot firers' act. Provides that all shot firers shall be citizens of the United States and shall be able to speak and understand the English language. Became a law July 1, 1921. Fostered Senate Bill No. 222 in the house, amending sections 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 12, 14, 19 and 25 of the erkmen's Compensation Act, increasing the maximum limit of compensation in fatal cases $250.00; also fixes limit of non-fatal cases per week for children under 16 years of age. There is no necessity to say anything relative to Mr. Rew as a public citizen. He embraces every quality so requisite in a valuable resident. H is in the general insurance and real estate business in Harrisburg and stands high in Masonic circles. Religiously, he affiliates with the Methodist church, and is in every way the kind of a man that benefits any community. His candidacy for renomination is appealing to ever voter who is familiar with local conditions. He is deserving of renomination and re-election. He has memrited if and will be given a tremendous vote at the primary election on the 11th of next April. be long remembered. Another spiritual sermon was delivered at night. The Lord's Supper was taken. Three members were added to the church. We are planning for the 3rd Anniversary of our pastor March 6, and continue to March 12th. Ethel Rorter, Reporter, Rev. C. W.

He was elected April 6th 1920, to this office and upon entering the duties of same has worked hard for the interest of this road district, keeping in mind all the time that the people wanted and demanded good roads. Mr. Mizell, familiar known as "Bob," made up his mind that no road district in Massac county should have better roads than his district and has succeeded in the determination, and today his roads stand second to none, if not the best, of any roads in Massac county. This has all been done through the personal work and supervision of Mr. Mizell. On April 6th this road district voted Road Bonds to the amount of $95,000.00 for the purpose of building hard roads to the extent of 711.2 miles, and "Bob Mizell has built practically all of these roads with this money, and has even gone further than that and has built other hard road not mentioned in the petition which amounts to several miles. Massac county has better hard roads than any county in Southern Illinois, and R. N. Mizell has done his part and duty in making good roads in his district. If re-elected to this office "Bob" expects to keep up his work for better roads, and asks the voters to give his candidacy their careful consideration at the polls. CROWN NO LONGER A SYMBOL Germany's New Stamp Issues Bear Pictures of Workingmen Instead of Royalty. The substitution of figures of workingmen for crowned heads on the new postage stamps, being issued by the German government have considerable political significance, in the opinion of the Boston News Bureau. They "speak emphatically for the radical change in public opinion," and "argue rather convincingly of a continued strengthening of democratic sentiment." As the Boston daily explains: The stamps are in three series of six designs, one having the figure of a smith, the other a miner, and the third of a farmer. The first series, with a value of 60 pfenng (dark violet) and 80 pfenng (red), show smiths of different ages at the anvil; the next in value 100 pfenng (green) and 120 pfenng (ultramarine), show miners with pick, chisei or handcar; the last in value 150 pfenng (orange) and 160 pfenng (blue-green), carrying farmers mowing grain and binding sheaves. The 120 pfenng stamp will be the unit for foreign postage. The 60 and 120 pfenng stamps have now been issued. The other stamps will not be issued immediately, as the government has a supply of old stamps to be exhausted. It is interesting that the government takes official cognizance of the depreciated mark, since the 120 penni-g stamp equals 30 cents gold, prewar parity. That a larger depreciation is not recognized is undoubtedly due to the greater value of the mark in Germany than outside. In any case the stamps are noteworthy as indicating the passing of the crowned head as a symbol of Germany. NOT AS BAD AS IT SOUNDED Woman Was Unduly Alarmed at Grue- some Story Which She Overheard in the Street Car. A Columbus woman in a trip on an interurban car recently sat behind two women who were holding an an- imated conversation, the Indianapolis News relates. She paid no attention to the talk until a part of a sentence reached her car, through the noise of the car "in an awful fix, with both legs disjointed." The woman was impressed with this tale of suffering and while she was considering it an another bit of the conversation was waffled to her cars over the roar of the wheels—"and one foot nearly off." This was positively distressing, and the woman moved unceasing in her seat, stretching both feet to assure her self they were in proper condition. Buzz, buzz, went the voices, and then —"a hand all mashed." By this time the woman was having horrified visions of a mangled body, "A wreck," she said to herself, and to add to her horror the train made a sudden terrible jolt which sent her heart to her mouth, figuratively speaking. A smooth place in the road enabled her to hear the last of the gruesome tale: "It would cost as much to send it to a doll hospital as it would to get a new one, so I'm just going to buy her a new one."

Laura Leake, District Pres. M. J. Hudson, Sec. SHOULD EAT MORE CABBAGE Diet Experts of Cornell's College of Agriculture Recommend it as Article of Agriculture. Experts at Cornell's college of agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y., urge a wider use of cabbage, asserting that this succulent vegetable should be more generally included in the diet. It is rich in iron and other mineral salts and contains a small amount of growth-promoting substance. Cabbage is eaten much more by the Spanish, French and Italian races than by Americans, largely because Americans do not know how to cook it, it is contended. "Cabbage," says a statement from the college of agriculture "plunged into boiling sated water, and cooked uncovered for 20 minutes, no longer, will be a delicate light green color, tender and easily digested. Long cooking, in a tightly-covered kettle, produces a dark, brownish mess in which chemical changes have taken place that make it almost indigestible. "Food specialists at Cornell suggest boiled cabbage served with lamb, mutton or beef, escultoped cabbage with cheese sauce, fried cabbage with minced onion, cabbage cooked in milk and water, or baked with hamburg or frankfurters, lady cabbage, sweet or sour cabbage, or filled cabbages. Recipes for these dishes are found in most cook books. "For salads, cabbage gives an almost endless variety; with apple and onion, or with onion, celery or caraway seed, with green peppers, tomatoes, carrots, salmon, shrimp or even pineapple shredded cabbage makes an excellent combination. In general, cabbage salads are best served with a boiled dressing." MAY BE BONES OF PRIESTESS Skeleton Found Near Smoking Crater of Kilauea Believed to Be Last of Her Order.

What causes the distinctive feature of the samurier, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so.

SAYS IVY HURTS BUILDINGS English Architect Advises Its Removal From the Historic Structures of Oxford University. Ivy, a picturesque adjunct to the lanscape in covering old buildings and which has been so greatly admured by American visitors to the historic towns of England, is doomed. It is asserted that not only is the ivy highly injurious to the buildings which are covered by the vine, but that, in scores of cases it destroys more beauty than it creates by obscuring examples of fine old architecture. In Oxford, especially during the last few years, many of the old college structures which have been covered for generations with masses of the glossy green leaves have been entirely denuded of every vestige of ivy and the work is still going on. Edward Warren, an English architect, in writing of the architectural improvement to old buildings by removing the ivy covering, admits in the London Times that he has been responsible for the removal of a large amount of ivy from Oxford walls. "I am its declared enemy," he says. "It should be permitted to grow upon no walls but those of uninhabited and uninteresting ruins, or the rough walls of fields or gardens. Ivy is a terribly insidious foe to architecture, its acid secretions destroy the mortar of the joints, reducing it to incohesive sand, its fibers and its tendrils push their way between the joints, its clinging branches grow and swell in every available hollow and crevice, bursting ancient moldings and shattering carvings, penetrating thick walls if given time, lifting copings and' parapets, and stealthily and steadily disintegrating the work of man's hands, while it smothers its proportions and its beauties. HOLD FIRMLY TO BELIEFS Mennonites Stress Ebiblical Stories Which Other Christians Regard With Seme Lightness. The advent of the Mennonites to America came about when William Penn had been granted land for his Quaker followers. He was told of Mennonites who had died from Germany to Holland and his Quakers came to their aid. The Quakers are credited with helping them financially in colonizing parts of Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota. Later, colonies were established in Saskatchewan and other parts of Canada. A peculiar custom of these people is the washing of feet. They say that the command of Christ to the woman to wash His feet stands on the same spiritual level as His acts of distributing/food and drink to the hungry and thirsty. To the Mennonites the story related by St. Luke is as important as the ones other Christians regard, including the sacrament and communion. Community property is another Mennonite belief, although it is not general. The members of the sect cooperate in building roads, schoolhouses and churches. One of the largest migrations of Christian people of modern history is that of about 200,000 Mennonites, 50,000 families, from Canada to Mexico, which will begin soon. They climn unjust treatment in Canada during the World war. The Mennonites refuse to enter any war. Overdid the Part. There is one smart Chinaman staying now perforce in northern Mexico who, but for a slight error, would be enjoying a residence in the United States. Arrested for attempting to enter illegally via the Mexican border, he tried to palm himself off before the court, according to United States Commissioner A. J. W. Schmid at El Paso, Tex., as an old resident of Seattle. So well had he been coached in the part that the federal attorneys could pick no flaw in his apparent knowledge of Seattle, names and places. In desperation, the prosecution finally asked if he had ever known Julius Caesar up there. Yes, the Chinaman had heard of him often. Did he remember Mark Anthony, and how he acted as state's witness at the trial of Caesar's murders? Yes, he remembered Anthony well, and the murder, too, and was only a little hazy in his mind about the trial. Ten minutes later he was on a Mexican bound troticle.—New York Evening Post. $60,000 for Cats. Cats all over the world will benefit from the $60,000 obtained by the sale of the Ewen homestead, in New York, writes a correspondent. The lady, Miss Caroline Ewen, who occupied the house for years with her two sisters, had a passion for caring for cats. It was her dream that every cat should have plenty of catbip, and a comfortable backyard fence to play on. She devoted her life to establishing sanitoriums and relief organizations for stray cats and when she died she left all her estate, except $500, for carrying on her work. She cut off her two sisters in her will because they were not sufficiently enthusiastic about cats. The money for rescuing the cat population of the world became available when her nephew recently settled his consent to her will out of court. Hard Sleeper. Mill—Is Dill an experienced traveler.
