Metropolis Weekly Gazette

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE HEAVY TYPE. WHEN our soldier boys go "over the top" the enemy will be confronted by the most efficient weapon ever constructed—the Browning gun—send. There are two types of the new gun, both of which were recently tested by government officials, members of the Senate and the House military committees and American and Allied army officers and pronounced "the beat ever." One weighs thirty-five pounds and is mounted on a tripod. The other is a light gun weighing about fifteen pounds, which may be fired from the shoulder or hip, and easily handled by one man. Three hundred and fifty shots may be fired from the gun, with magazine pauses of two and one-half seconds between bursts of forty shots, before it becomes too hot to operate. Loves Home Life. The inventor of the Browning gun is John M. Browning, of Ogden, Utah, a "Mormon" in good standing, who Secretary of War Baker said "has invented more fire-arms than any other individual." He is a quiet man. sixty-five years of age, and six feet, three inches tall. He loves his home, often entertains with the banjo and enjoys a fishing expedition. But his principal recreation is in inventing firearms. He has been at it all his life, beginning in the little gun shop that his father owned in early Western pioneer days, first in Iowa and later in Utah. One of his noted inventions is the automatic pistol, made possible by taking the kick of a revolver and harnessing it in such a way as to operate all the mechanism of the weapon. Most of Mr. Browning's patents have been taken over by the Colt company at Hartford, where he does his experimenting. The millionth vest pocket pistol, which he invented, was manufactured some years ago and is said to have been given by King Albert of Belgium as a souvenir to the Kaiser before the European war began. Some of Browning's inventions, for which he was decorated by King Albert, aided the Belgian soldiers in their gallant defense when they were attacked by the Germans. "Mormons" Hope To "Save Nation" Out in Utah, for a score of years or more, it has been "common talk" that in some great National crisis the "Mormons" would come to the rescue in such a way as to actually "save the Nation." Some of them are wondering if this "Mormon" invention, the Browning gun, will fill the bill. Others look upon it as only an "incident" and point with pride to their social system which the great sociologist, Wm. A. McKeever, says is a "model for all humanity." Still others point to the "food conservation" DIED. The wife of Rev. W. H. Barnett, died very suddenly Thursday afternoon. She had just returned home from visiting her daughter Mrs French of Belgrad: Funeral Sunday afternoon. This (which ranks the highest in the nation) and to the still undeveloped mineral fields containing billions of tons of coal, and iron, and copper. But, whether or not the "Mormons" ever "save the Nation" their unfaltering loyalty can not be questioned and they have given us a weapon which undoubtedly will save the lives of thousands of our soldier and sailor boys. GUR LAND Ever divine. Send angels on the breeze on the wind cross the seas; O, shield them from disease, For they are thine. We know our cause is just And in thy love we trust This land to thee. Though men face shot and shell They'll do their duty well And nations soon will tell They made men free. —fisabel S. Wilder Some Things For Parents To Ponder. (One of the nations' foremost authorities on problems of childhood and sociology.) (In Chicago American Jan. 7, 1918.) After a tour of inspection of all the leading towns and cities of Utah, I am convinced that the people there are setting a very high example for the entire nation in the matter of child rearing. My work has also brought me into close touch with the situation in every part of the United States, and I am convinced that the Utah method for the care and training of the young is admirable. For example, up to 1914 there was constantly coming into Utah a steady stream of young, healthy men and women from all the nations which include the white race in their population. Without any idea of distinction or rank these have been intermarrying—often almost before they could speak enough English to understand each other—and the young couples have been taught to begin at once the rearing of a large family. Six to ten is considered about the right number of children, and thus we find them as to size. One Large Family. One year after arriving in Utah from his native home in Sweden, Gust tax C—, aged twenty-two, married Aristia N—, a German peasant girl of eighteen and also a recent arrival. That was fourteen years ago. Today they have ten beautiful, healthy children and a small piece of rich land on which to bring them up. Such instances are common. This intermingling of race blood has apparently added physical strength and vigor to the stock, and has perhaps improved the moral and intellectual quality. Some day we shall boast of our standardized American stock, and in essence it will simply be this: a race of beings in whose veins flows the mixed blood of two or more great races trained to speak a common language, led through a common system of democratic instruction and imbued with a common set of inspiring ideals. This true American type will reverence equally the home, the school, the church, the state and the nation, and will cherish a genuine good will for all mankind. Now, the people of Utah are approximating this idea wonderfully well through the medium of their passionate interest in the young, as this summary will indicate: They are raising very large families of mixed blood and without race distinction. Parent Training Classes. They center all their best thought in the care and training of their children. They teach every child to play, to work, to be sociable, to support the church and to live partly for the community. They have parent training classes in all their Sunday schools so that the fathers learn to share equally with the mothers in their responsibility of bringing up the children. They have a large well-endowed central department to look after every age, grade and condition of childhood and youth. This valuable extension service is centered at Sait Lake City and serves all alike, after the manner of a great university. When the people finally learn that the most profitable business in the world is to bring up a full crop of good, healthy children, they should turn to Utah for a model of excellence. was quite a shock to her husband and family. They have the sympathy of The Gazette and citizens as Mrs. Barnett was a splendid citizen and neighbor. Peace to her dust Read The Gazette. MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." Mound City To the Gazette, Please allow me space to say that the First Baptist church of this city is getting along nicely. At 11:00 a. m. service was nicely attended. The pastor, choir and members were invited to the annual rally at Eld. L. J. Jones' church, a large number was on the lawn and dinner was served, and it reminded us of olden times. At 7:30 we were at home again with our pastor Rev. A. F. Daniel and we had a wonderful praise meeting, led by Rev. Stovall. At 8:30 we entered into our usual service well filled with the Holy Ghost. We desire the prayers of the churches while we go through the scenes of life, that the Lord may continue his blessings upon us, now and forever more, amen We are getting ready for the Association which convenes here next week Dr. C. C Phillips, passed thru the city Tuesday for his home from Nashville, Tenn., where he attended the National Baptist Convention. He was fleeced out of $50.00 by pick-pockets. One man lost $80.00, others less. It is to be remembered that Dr. W. P. Washington lost $20.00 last year in New Orleans, and the editor lost a few pennies and some sand while in Norfolk, Va., four years ago. Not quite so funny after all, is it boys? Am surprised at their liberality. They will be wiser next time we are sure. Du-Ouoin Dear Editor: Please allow space in your valuable paper to say a few words, The S. S. opened at usual hour The attendance was fair and the weather was rainy. A. 11:00 Rev. C. W. Cole, preached an able sermon on prayer. The attendance was large. At 5:30 o'clock the B. Y. P. U. was in session The lesson was ably taught and a large number was present. At 7:30 at the night service a large number was present. Covenant meeting was held and the Lord's supper administered. Wednesday night is our regular prayer meeting. We have large attendance. Ollie M. Hooks, Reporter, Rev. C. W. Cole, Pastor. Pulaski Dear Editor, Please allow me to say in your paper, that the 1st St. John Baptist church is yet at work, with Rev. J. H. Stamps, as pastor. The church and Sunday School gave a picnic the 24, and 25, for the benefit of the church which was a success. We are now ready to send our pastor and delegate to the Association at Md City. The Lady's Missionary work will meet the ladies' work. The C. P. church, held its Presbytery here last week closing Sunday night. It was a great success. There were many strong sermons delivered, and Pulaski, is much benefited by it being in session here. They had glorious meetings Sunday and two anxious sinners came forward for prayer. Rev. J. H.

They contain 563 billion feet of standing timber, or twenty-five per cent of the remaining timber in the United States, says the American Forestry Magazine. All told the national forests embrace seventeen per cent of all forest growing land in the United States. In addition to the many millions of acres containing forests of merchantable size, there are twenty million acres bearing young growing forests which are being protected against fire and other forms of devastation so that they will produce timber crops in the years ahead. The American Forestry association calls on the owners, the citizens, to protest against taking the control of these forests from the United States forest service. Linotype Laughs. C. D. Gibson of Life has a choice collection of newspaper misprints, some of which are screams. At a dinner in New York he quoted a number of them. One was about a bishop who was laid up with a cold. A newspaper reported that he was "confined to the house with a violent scold." Another told of a "surgeon" being taken alive in the river and being sold for six cents a pound. But the most amusing one, he said, was clipped from a Vermont paper. This paper, wishing to say in praise of a very aged and distinguished citizen that he was "a noble old burglar proudly living in his native state," was made to say, according to Mr. Gibson, "John Green is a nobby old burglar, prowling around in a naked state."—Boston Transcript.

ILL Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrhã deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

Subscribe For Gazette Now BOTH WILD, FOR SHORT TIME Imprisoned Cat and Kansas City Man Allie in Disposition Until Storm Calmed Down. In Enid, Okla., according to a Kansas City man who goes there frequently, there is a collector of curiosities peculiar to the state. His line ranges from Indian moccasins to live coyotes. In fact he handles anything that might appeal to the romantic impulses and purses of Easterners. This dealer's store window recently attracted the interested attention of a portly salesman who was strolling about the town in company with the Kansas City man. With this obese traveling man to pause was to sit. The only convenient seat in this case was a box on the sidewalk in front of the store window. A piece of burlap had been spread over it. The portly one just settled himself comfortably to enjoy the window display when his companion heard a snarling scream within the box and almost simultaneously the fat man was seen rising high in the air, propelled by his own sturdy legs. A howl from him mingled with, the falsetto one which emanated from beneath the burlap. Subsequent investigation developed that the box was really a crate containing a temperamental wildcat about to be shipped East. The animal had been seized with an impulse to test its lungs and claws at about the time the salesman placed the posterior part of his anatomy so convenient for claw testing. DEMAND FOR CASCARA BARK Industry Was Once a Baby, but It Has Developed Greatly in Washington State. A half million dollars was the value of this season's cascara bark, harvested by Grays Harbor (Wash.) folk. It is the peeled leather-like skin of the barberry tree, stripped by settlers and city dwellers who spend six weeks each spring in the swamp forests near Hoquiam. Six years ago this bark gathering industry was a babe, the few who attempted to sell the peeled bark getting from 3 to 4 cents per pound for it—not knowing just how to properly cure and pack it. Then came the drug famine. The wholesale price which has gradually been rising is now 15 cents per pound and skillful strippers make $10 to $15 per day. With a knife an incision is made near the ground and a piece of bark once loosened there may be pulled from the tree upward for ten to fifteen feet. Taking but a part of the bark does not injure the tree. Likes Color. The other evening one of the charity organizations was giving a supper for a number of poor children of Indianapolis. One of the women had baked a particularly nice angel food cake for the occasion. One little boy attracted her interest and she decided that no matter what happened he should have a piece of her cake. Accordingly she offended two or three women in passing their cakes by to get her own. She carried a big piece to the little fellow who gave it one look and said: "We got bread at home, lady. Please gimme some cake." Crestfallen, she carried back her own cake and got him a piece of marble cake in which red and white mingled. And now she says, "No more angel food cake for me for charity parties." Truth Mixed With Poetry. A Muncie lawyer was making his first church speech. It was a welcome to the new minister, and in it he was telling of the beauties of his home town. He spoke of the streets, the residences and then he began on the trees. "I have one great tree in my yard," he said, "that means more to me than any other in town. Whenever I pass it I think of how often I have reached into its boughs to pluck the spring blossoms—" And then came an interruption. His little eight-year-old son who had been paying close attention to father's speech spoke up. "Don't forget the caterpillars, too, father," he said. "We have to burn 'em about that time, too."Indianapolis News. Shipping Sheet Rubber A new case for shipping sheet rubber has been introduced into Singapore shipping circles by an American firm. These reach local exporters in the form of sheets made of 100 per cent fiber, the riveting, packing and wiring being done by the shippers. The thinness of the sheets enables the cases built from them to hold from 12 to 25 per cent more weight of rubber than the old wooden boxes, and the new construction is practically unbreakable, very cleanly and waterproof.-Scientific American. Speeches Quickly Reported. When Governor Miller of New York makes a speech he takes along three of his own stenographers, a typewriter, and a mimeographing machine.

Be it therefore resolved that the members of this association go down on record as doing our part in the way of songs, prayers and money for the home. Be it also Resolved, that we the constituents of this organization pledge ourselves to the sum of $1 or more per year, or give as the Lord has prospered us. The above resolutions were offered by the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association when in session at Metropolis, in Aug. 1922. Notice of Change of Policy of this Paper Regarding Writ-Ups, Etc. Notice is hereby given by the manager of this paper, that beginning with August 1st there will be a charge on all matter sent here for publication except purely news. All papers, Obituaries, Programs, Resolutions, Essays, Sermons, Personal Write-ups, etc. There will be a charge of $1 00 for the above named for 15 lines and all articles containing more than 15 type lines 10c will be charged for every additional line. This does not apply to news of the churches. We are compelled to do this for financial protection. Our more than 23 years of experience in the newspaper world has taught us that we have been giving away hundaeds of dollrrs annually paying for setting type for such things in which the general public is not interested in, and most of the time the persons writing are not subscribers and not interested in and have no Race pride or Race Loyalty, they make long and loud speeches to the galleries, preach great sermons and write fine papers on patronizing Race enterprises and that is as far as it goes with them, as nine times out ten they give their job work what little they have, to other persons other than race papers and are withholding the support from the men who are fighting mob and lynch law and the many other inequalities and evils which contaminate the race fifty two weeks in the year, while these would be race lovers find excuses in giving their work to others claiming they are too high priced or the work is inferior to others, when at the same time these same papers that they refuse to let do theirs are doing work for Negroes who do not pose as Race leaders, and too, these same race papers are doing job work for some of best business firms and individuals of the white race. The papers are great so long as they boost this class of individuals for naught and let him help the fellow who does not need his financial assistance. There seems too much racial jealousy and envy among the majority of our great leaders and that accounts for slow progress along race enterprises. Therefore we have taken the matter under careful advisement and have concluded to place a small charge on all matter except purely news. All Associational, Conventional matter we expect the officers of the Bodies to take care of in a more systematic way hereafter at quarterly and annual meeting. Our experience at the meetings in the past forces us to make this request. No one who believes in a just compensation for honest work will object to this requirement. The Manager.

Journalism in Greenland is in rather a primitive stage, according to the captain of a British bark. The captain makes frequent voyages to Greenland and is held to be an authority on conditions in that country. The one editor in Greenland is a Dane named Moeller, who conducts the only newspaper and enjoys the singular distinction of printing the paper for the natives and teaching them to read it. Mr. Moeller is not only the editor and proprietor; he is the reporter, printer, distributor and business manager, and every two weeks he makes a long journey on skates to dispose of his journal. Originally it contained only a few crude illustrations, but gradually other matter was introduced, until now it contains articles on the affairs of the day. This man actually taught his subscribers to read his paper, first introducing words, then sentences, until now his subscribers are able to read articles on any topic he cares to write about. FORMED NEW VOCAL CORD Tissues, After Operation, Grew Together, and Voice Is Said to Be Improved. In three out of four cases in which Dr. H. Burger resected the vocal cords the tissues grew together to form a new vocal cord. He reports to the Nederlandsch Tijdshrift v. Geneeskunde (Amsterdam) that the more radical the operation on the side wall of the throat the more the new cord approximated normal. In all these cases the diagnosis of malignant tumor was beyond question, and the operation was done through a slit in the thyroid cartilage. No attempt was made to suture this afterward. The voice is good in all but one, who still is hoarse. The voice is very much better than in other cases in which merely the growth itself was resected and the rest of the vocal cord left. The repair after this is much less perfect. In one of his cases the repair was so perfect that in examining with the laryngoscope a year later there was some doubt as to the operated side.—New York World. Saw Volcano in Action. A volcano in action was witnessed about six weeks ago by the captain of the British freighter Bounty, off the West African coast. The skipper said the Bounty was about five miles off shore when he observed smoke pouring high and profusely out of a peak inward from the Bight of Blafra, near the boundary line between Kamerun and Nigeria. Thinking he might be of assistance in the event of disaster to the villages near the seacount he put in toward shore and went to the land in a lifeboat. He said the smoking peak was about 11,000 feet above sea level and on its westward side he observed large streams of lava. Finding no signs of human life along the shore he went back to the freighter and proceeded on his course. Put Out Fires With Glass Balls. A glass ball, the glass being thin and easily shattered, and about the size of an egg, filled with a standard flame-killing liquid, is now being put on the market. Most fires can be extinguished with little danger and little loss if proper means are available for prompt use. Experiments have shown that a few of these new glass balls or fire-outs, as they are called, will quickly snuff out a bad blaze. In the past most fire extinguishers have been rather high-priced. This new extinguisher is a notable exception—the three balls which comprise a set being retailed for only 30 cents per set. A set of three balls comes in an ingenious carton which can be hung from the wall. Not Pretty Music. Dorothy, three years old, lives at New Albany. Her father took her to the barber shop to have her hair trimmed, and the electric clippers almost drove the little girl into spasms of fear despite the kind assurances that they would not hurt her. She had a big audience before the task was completed. Next day Dorothy went to visit a neighbor who lived near the barber shop. Shortly after her arrival she heard music and inquired its location. On being informed that it was at the barber's she replied: "Well, I don't think his music is pretty."—Indianapolis News. American Money in Canada. American Money in Canada. It is estimated that American investments in Canada for 1920 amounted to $225,000,000—more than half of the prewar Canadian investment. Some of the items of investment during the period under review are: Bonds purchased, $37,000,000; industrial investment, $50,000,000; western lands purchased, $7,000,000. It is also estimated that $20,000,000 of the $50,000,000 invested in industries went into the pulp and paper business. Immediate Results.

Page Four Subscription Rates Reduced You can now subscribe for the good old St. Louis GlobeDemocrat by mail at the following subscription rates effective February 1, 1922: These prices are now back to normal and as low as formerly, considering that approximately $2.00 more per yearly subscription is paid the government for postage than a few years ago. This, of course, is not within the control of any newspaper. Special Club-Raisers' Rates As in former years, the Globe-Democrat is making a special club-raisers' rate, reduced from the regular rates when three or more yearly subscriptions, by mail are sent at one time. The club raisers' rate now in force is $15.75 net for a club of three yearly subscriptions to the Daily (only) Globe-Democrat, or $23.25 for a club of three yearly Daily and Sunday Globe-Democrat subscriptions. This reduces the price to each club member to $5.25 for Daily and $7.75 for the Daily and Sunday Globe-Democrat. More than three subscriptions can be included in a club, at the same club raisers' rates. former years, the Globe-Democrat is making a raisers' rate, reduced from the regular rates when the yearly subscriptions, by mail are sent at on sub raisers' rate now in force is $15.75 net for the yearly subscriptions to the Daily (only) Globe $23.25 for a club of three yearly Daily and Sun Democrat subscriptions.
