MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." REV. J. B. MCCRARY, Who will celebrate bis Seventh Anniversary as pastor of Unity Baptist Church, Brookport, Ill., March 6, to 12, '22 A CARD TO THE VOTERS Ladies and gentlemen voters of Metropolis and Massac County: I am making the race for Sheriff of Massac County on the Republican ticket subject to the will of the voters in the primary election to be held on the date of April 11th., 1922, and I do so alone and with the distinct understating to remain independent of any line-up of other candidates, and am not in any way, either financially, morally, or politically associated with any other candidate,—have had no privilege-seeking interest of any character, and stand solely and strictly on my past record as an officer of Metropolis and Massac County in delegating an honest service to the people,—and in prompt responding to each and every call made that came under my official jurisdiction. It has been said that the time has arrived in the history of this county when it is almost a matter of impossibility for a poor man to be elected to any office of importance regardless of whatever merits he may have or possess in making the people a fearless, efficient and honest official, but this is surely not a condition of affairs to be met with in this county. I am rather unfortunate to be classed in and as one of the number of that multitude of those who have no other resources left than to labor for the subsistence of their families and I honestly earn every dollar that I receive, and I am asking the votes PETER H. BURKE and support of all voters, both men and women, having no other aim or object in view other than to serve you faithfully as a good sheriff, and I stand ready now, as I have always done in the past to "prove my Faith by my works," and if you will kindly consider me when coming to cast your vote in the April Primary, and really want a good sheriff that you can depend upon to meet every requirement made of him, I am your man. It is hardly worth while to say that I want your vote for that is always a conceded fact, and there is no one that will appreciate your vote more than I will. You will readily remember, perhaps, that I was elected sheriff of this county in November, 1914 and assumed charge of the affairs of office in December following, my term of office extending on until 1918. During this particular time Metropolis became a great center of commercial activity, made so principally by the building of the big bridge that spans the Ohio river at this place, and this attracted many people to our little city, coming as they did, from all parts of the country—some of them good, others bad, and very bad. As a result this kept myself and my deputy busy not only by day, but much of the night Subscribe for he Gazette. to furnish adequate protection needed to insure peace and security for all. The coming of the great World War during this period of time boosted living expenses, that were normal when my term of office began in 1914 but soared beyond any expectation. Clothing of all kinds, laundry bills, doctor bills and the food we ate and fed our prisoners, doubled and quadrupled in price; flour raised from $5.75 per barrel to $17. Potatoes went from 65c up to $4.50, and all other necessities in proportion. My deputy hire was greater than ever paid before by any other sheriff of Massac County, and even then this same deputy could not live on the salary paid him, and was forced to draw on his private account made by teaching school at the rate of from $40 to $50 per month, in order to meet living expenses. During my term as sheriff I furnished my own deputy's conveyance which had never been the custom and yet my salary remained the same. I made many arrests during my term as sheriff, as also did my deputy Mr. Cummins, and neither of us were injured nor were any of the persons arrested hurt and as to the record established in meeting every requirement made, the books are open at the County Court House for the inspection of all. In conclusion I wish to state that as times are getting down to about normal again, I would like the office of sheriff again—not through sympathy, however, for it is bad policy to vote for a man through sympathy alone but I do believe that if you think I will make as good an officer as the other fellows I am entitled to your votes and if I get them I will be elected and will show my appreciation by doing my very best for you and your interest as Sheriff of Massac County. Mrs. Sarah Daugherty was born in Camden, Benton County Tenn., in 1838 and died in Brookport, Feb. 19, 1922, aged 84 years. She was highly respected by all who knew her Her illness was of long standing. She died at the home of Mrs. Nora Davis, her daughter. The funeral was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church of which she was a member. She was also a member of Queen Isabella Chapter O. E. S., being a charter member. Her life was an exemplary one, both in the church and Chapter. The funeral was held on Tuesday at 11:30 a. m. under the direction of the Order. The pastor Rev. S. S. Smith, conducted the devotional services. Rev. Daniel Rodgers, delivered the sermon, who very beautifully eulogized her life, telling of her many good qualities. He was followed by Rev. J. B. McCtary, pastor of Unity Baptist church who had been invited by the family to have something to say. Grand-ma Daugherty lived a very consistent life, and her good works still follow her. She was ready and willing to go, as she expressed it. Pay Your Subscriptions OSRO SHIRK, Metropolis, Illinois. OBITUARY UNDERTAKING A SPECIALTY NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

BEN HAYDEN SHOT East St. Louis Bank Messenger Saves $5,500 Pay Roll Should Be Rewarded for Bravery Ben Hayden of East St. Louis, a veteran Bank messenger by his bravery and presence of mind saves $5,500 and routes thre highwaymen who undertook to hold him up on one of the principal streets of East St. Louis, recently while a number pedestrians looked on from behind street cars and other places of safety as the battle royal waged thick and fast. Hayden was too swift for the gunmen, and his bravery saved his life and the satchel containing the money. Hayden was wounded in the leg but he kept up the running battle until they were com- --- pletely routed, and during the engagement with the robbers he held on to the money. It was thought that one of the robbers was shot but the policemen could not locate him. Hayden was taken to St. Mary's hospital where it was found that his wound was not dangerous, and was expected to be out in a few days. His many friends will rejoice to know that is out of danger as he is well known in Masonic circles in Ill, being a past D. G. Master. The Gazette wishes him a speedy recovery. WILL MAKE YOU A NAME a great man and he can do great things Tell it everywhere you go and will have a great man leading a grat host. Why is it your pastor is not a great man? It is because you don't speak of him in company. You will go to church, stay until he says Amen and he wont get to see you until the next Sunday. Do you want a great pastor? Well, don't go home so quick at the benediction, stay and talk with him and tell him how you enjoyed the sermon, tell others about it. Invite home with you for a meal; if you have it fine, invite him. If your home is not so well arranged as neighbor's invite him anyway he will appreciate the invitation. Make yourself a committee on invitation and take some one with you to church to hear that wonderful preacher and you will have a great pastor You know one thing? I remember reading about one woman who went and told the people to come and see a man; he was a precher; and that one woman drew a large crowd to see Jesus. You can do the same, if you will. I would tell you of the Baptist and what made the name great. Watch the paper next week. May God add a blessing to these few words. Elder A Lovelace, 700 Kings Highway Park, St. Louis, Mo.

Broadway E. ST. LOUIS, ILL. Kin. St. Clair 1969 Loren Smith, clerk of the Circuit Court W. L. Krone, complainant's Solicitor NEW PEST DESTROYS WHEAT Men of Science Called to Combat the Foursome Creature Known as Trogoderma Khapra. Beware of the foursome Trogoderma Khapra! says an English correspondent. This creature, with the name of an oriental vildin, is a new insect pest which has already worked amazing havoc among stores of wheat and maize. First discovered in 1917 by Mr. G. T. Arrow, of the Entomological department of the British museum, it is now reproducing its species so rapidly that it has become a pest of serious economic importance. A small insect, measuring about 3 m. m. in length, the trogoderma khapra eats itself into the heart of the wheat and malt grain, leaving nothing but the husk. Many recent cases are reported in which hundreds of quarriers of grain have been eaten by the vermin, and its depredations are causing great anxiety. A remarkable example furnished by the board of applied pestology involves a shipment of malt. A number of sacks, containing the malt, were stacked on the dockside awaiting transference. A burly workman, employed on the job, was about to move a 2 cwt. sack and summoned all his strength for the exertion. He gave a tremendousug—and then to his amusement found that his pull met with no resistance from the sack. It was as light as air. This destructive creature is one of the pests against which the newly formed board of applied pestology is directing its scientific energies.—Monreal Family Herald. HIDE JEWELS IN SANDWICHES Germans Resort to All Sorts of Devices to Get Treasure Out of the Country. Sandwiches spread with gold pieces or diamonds and eggs spiced with unset gems have been successfully used by international smugglers to get such valuables out of Germany until in two recent cases the customs officials became suspicious of these travel luncheons and discovered the deception. Now all "snacks" are carefully examined at the frontier. A German merchant, whose lunch basket attracted the attention of the Polish customs officials at the frontier station of Konitz, was found to have a layer of gold coins interlaced between the layers of every sandwich and covered with a thick coating of butter, while each egg nested a valuable diamond. The total of his confiscated board was estimated at 18,000,000 Polish marks. His fellow smuggler, a Dutch merchant, was intercepted at about the same time at the Holland frontier. While the officials were valiably searching his baggage, they were struck by the fact that he was ostentatiously but rather nervously devoting himself to a huge sandwich. They found imbedded in the bread and butter three diamond rings, a diamond brooch and a number of boose diamonds. Further search disclosed 44 unset diamonds concealed in a cigar lighter.—Milwaukee Journal. Moonshiner Advertises His Wares. North Carolina has a moonshiner who believes in advertising his wares. Revenue officers in Asheville recently came across a bottle with a unique label, which they sent to Commissioner Blair, himself a North Carolinaian. This label was the advertisement of the moonshiner and it reads as follows: "Pure mountain korn likker. Bottled in a barn. Made in the backwoods of the Mountains of Western North Carolina by an old-time blockader, that don't give a dam for laws and prohibition. Retailed on the Asheville market by all the high-class bootleggers for five bones per pint and is worth every cent of it. Guaranteed to be strong enough to make you drunk as the devil in ten minutes and mean enough to make a baby baffleg spit in a whale's face. Shake well and get ready to have a fit before drinking." The label has been added to the internal revenue bureau's museum. Exchange. Live Wedding Presents. Lord Morton has revived old traditions of Scotch chieftainship, writes a correspondent, by his practical and patriarchal gift of a flock of sheep to his son on his marriage. Such wedding gifts must have been common enough when the Douglas chiefs ruled with a high hand in territories where there was little actual money. The ancestor of Lord Morton was second chief of the Douglas clan, and the greatness of this family began with the acquisition of wide lands in the Fourteenth century, culminating in the fourth earl, the great Regent of Scotland, too great for safety, for he was attained and executed. But the Morton earls soon recovered from this blow and, 50 years later, the seventh earl was one of the richest and most powerful men in the kingdom. A new French estimate of the world's water power resources credits the United States with 20,000,000 available horsepower; Canada with 25,000,000; Norway with 7,500,000; Sweden with 6,750,000; Austro-Hungary district with 6,750,000; Italy and Spain with about 5,000,000 each; Germany with only 1,500,000, and England with 1,000,000, have a supposed compensating advantage in their supplies of coal. SCIENTISTS WILL STUDY RAT Good Results Expected to Follow Observations to Be Carried Out at Philadelphia. The superrat, unlike the superman of Nietzsche, is not of the warrior's type, but is a gentleman, an aristocrat at heart, although democratic in his ways. He is gentle and sociable, a good fellow, healthy and active, and has an esthetic side, being fond of good music. These are some of the conclusions drawn from years of experiments with the rodent by Dr. Milton H. Greecman, director of the Wistar institute, at Philadelphia. To make observations on a more extensive scale and under more favorable conditions than heretofore, particularly in food research, the institute is building a $20,000 home for rats. The building will be a one-story wing to the present structure, and will be provided with every kind of convenience conducive to rat comfort and well being. The results, it is believed, will be of far-reaching benefit to mankind. Outside of an office and laboratory there will be a well-equipped gymnasium for the rats. Ladders for climbing, modified trapezes, running space, treadmill cages, and knowing apparatus will be provided to give the eugenically raised rat the proper exercise. SILVER PRODUCTION FELL OFF Year: 1921 Saw Less of It Mined and Consumed Than in the Preceding Twelve Months. An estimate of the world's production and consumption of silver in 1921 gives the world's total product last year as 161,000,000 ounces, against 174,000,000 in 1920. Of this total the United States is estimated to have produced 50,000,000 ounces in 1921, against 55,400,000 in 1920; Mexico, 62,000,000, against 66,700,000; Canada, 19,000,000, against 12,800,000, and other countries 39,000,000, against 39,300,000. It is estimated that consumption for governmental purchases and exports to the East absorbed 36,500,000 ounces more of silver than the year's production. The total distribution on these accounts is estimated at 197,500,000 ounces, of which 18,000,000 ounces were assigned to this country's consumption in the arts, 2,500,000 to similar English consumption, 50,000,000 to purchases under the Pittman act by the United States mint, 5,000,000 to Mexican government purchases, 35,500,000 to shipments from England to India, 5,300,000 to shipments from the United States to India, 58,500,000 to shipments by England and the United States to China and the Far East and 22,200,000 to purchases in the United States for subsidiary coinage and other purposes. Defends Puritan Architecture. Wallace Nuttings' book on "Furniture of the Pilgrim Century" is an argument to disprove the fallacy that the Puritans were insensitive to beauty and art. Of the rugged substantial reliess of their building, Mr. Nuttings says, "There is solidity in them, durability, freedom from caprice, and an expression of that sober rationality everywhere characteristic of the Puritan genius. "For adaptation to climate, wise use of accessible materials, inner com- venience obtained at low cost and freedom from discordant lines, Puritan domestic architecture deserves high praise." This is no less true of their furniture accessories. It is wrong to assume that their austerity and simplicity were forced upon them by mere hardship. Rather were they the outward expression of an inner nobility and spiritual exaltation. Amusing but What About Musicians? Amueing, but What About Musicians? An unrehearsed scene was enacted during the production of the revue "Splash Me" at the Tivoli Music hall at Hull, England. A spectacular feature is a great glass tank, said to hold 20,000 gallons of water, in which "bathing belles" disport themselves. As the tank was being prepared for the performance the rear side burst and water flooded the stage. The revue artists scampered off, but many of the musicians were drenched. The water found its way to the basement beneath the stage, and stood at such a level that the orchestra, on an elevated platform, had to play with their feet in several inches of water when they returned to their places. The consternation of the audience gave way to amusement when the orchestra was overwhelmed. The bathing scene, of course, had to be abandoned. "1 Franc Or." Numismatists have been gladdened by the news that a single gold france has been struck as the monetary unit which is the basis of all financial transactions of the League of Nations. It is a piece of gold about one-third the size of an English farthing, with the inscription on one side, "S. des N. (Societe des Nations), 1921," and on the other "1 frane or." In American currency it is equal to 0.1925 dollar. Apart from there being only one gold france, the remarkable thing about it is the shape, which is octagonal, and maybe it will act as a protest against the continued use of round coins, which does not enable one, say, to tell the difference by feeling between six pence and a half-sovereign,—Christian Science Monitor.

The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive features of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the angles of the term equally so. Differen. explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful. Adversity and Prosperity.

LYCUROUS DID NOT "BELONG" Old Cemetery Wrong in Classing Him as One of Seven Wise Men of Greece. The seven wise men of Greece, eleven names and sayings have come down to be from antiquity, have been differently secondary in renown re- cently to the several score wise men of the nations gathered here in the conference on the limitation of arm- aments. But the ancient wise men are not forgotten. Here and there are men who treasure the sayings which those worthies handed down to us. They are keen on the proper pronunciation of their names, and know to a degree in which Grecian state they lived. One of these scholars came in last week to settle a dispute, says the Washington Star. Several of his friends, in whom the fine flower of learning had not withered any more than it had in him, were disputing about those seven wise men of Greece. "They could only think of six," declared the gentleman, nodding his white head. "I said the seventh was Lycurgus. Am I right?" The seven wise men of Greece, not having figured in the news for a few years, it was no easy task to locate them. But a fat volume finally gave them up—and Lycurgus was not in the list. Bias, Chilo, Cleobulos, Pittacus, Solon. Thales and Periander were the seven wise men. Everybody remembers Solon as the man who got off that really tremendous saying "Know thyself." Cleobulos is credited with a good one too. "Avoid extremes." This latter is the famous "golden mean" of Epicurus. "And to think I would have put Lycurgus in that list!" exclaimed the old gentleman. VAST TREASURE WAITS FINDER Hidden Somewhere in the Sudan Desert Is Osman Digna's Store of Gold and Ivory. In my travels, when a young girl in Egypt and later in the Sudan, in Ismalia, I met with a woman who had fed from the Sudan during the war with the British. She was related to the once famous Osman Digna, the mahdi's general and most trusted friend. She related the following, which I translate: Every year Osman Digna used to take 50 Sudanese men and load them up with ivory, cold and precious stones which the mahdid obtained from traders from the Congo. He led these men in a march which lasted three days into the wilds of Khartoum, to a mountain where was his cache. When everything was put in safely, they started off to return, but halfway another trusted man, named Mahomond, met Osmaa Digna with a hundred men, who killed everyone of the men used to carry the valuables. When that deed was done they returned to the mahdid, waiting for the next year's caravan. Osman Digna consequently was the only man who knew the cache. When taken prisoner he was offered a large sum of money to conduct a party to the place but he absolutely refused to speak. The last I heard of him he was still lingering in prison in Cabro nearly blind and insane.—Motreatral Family Herald. For Twenty-Seven Cents. An unforeseen interruption of travel occurred on the West side elevated railroad one morning last week. A short, somewhat stout, middle-aged woman ambling her way to the downtown platform at Ninety-third street dropped her purse, as well as her ticket, in the box. The son of Erin whose special duty it is to see that tickets are dropped in the box tried to extricate the purse with a wire. He failed and then the woman wanted to try. The ticket seller was called out. Potential passengers were held up. A crowd collected. Variegated remarks enlivened the occasion. Finally a mechanic was summoned. He took the top off the box and recovered the purse. It contained 27 cents. Travel had been delayed almost an hour.—New York Sun. Church Treasure Recovered. Church Treasure Recovered. An Italian ice cream dealer in attempting to dispose of a solid silver cross for $60,000 in Glasgow disclosed the whereabouts of a Thirteenth century church ornament worth $500,000 which disappeared several years ago from the Church of Borge Collefagate, near Aquila, Italy. The evidence presented in court was to the effect that the cross was one of the most valuable antiquities of Italy, and was thought to have been smuggled out of the country by an art collector. The ice cream vendor's effort to sell it at a $60,000 figure aroused the suspicions of an antiquarian because of its greater intrinsic worth. The Italian contended that it has been in the possession of his family for generations, that it had been lost in the earthquake at Messina and had been recovered by him from the ruins. "Perfect 36" Is No More. "Perfect 36" is No More. The perfect 36 bust is no more, writes a sartorial correspondent. In the days of her prime, before flappers owned their own cigarettes, she flourished. Now she is gone, forever. In her place is the willow creature with a figure like a twelve-year-old boy and dresses that are suspended from sharp shoulders. The fashionable figure now, is smaller than the 36, more undeveloped. The stylish girl accentuates this thin, wispy appearance.
