For the last two years work which
has as its purpose the salvaging of
$5,000,000 in gold that went down
when the steamship Egypt went to
the bottom in 400 feet of water off
the coast of France has been under
way. It is unusual to attempt to
salvage the cargo of a ship that is
more than 100 feet under water, but
new methods are being tried in this
attempt, which it is believed will be
successful. If it is, salvaging of the
Lusitania, which went to the ocean’s
bottom off the south coast of Ireland
in 1915 when torpedoed by a sub-
marine, will be undertaken. If the
task is undertaken it will be watched
with much interest.
The Whitewright Sun stated last
week that W. M. Gates, who for-
merly operated a bakery here, had re-
opened his bakery at Whitewright.
Lack of support has caused Mr Gates
to close his bakery twice since he
went to Whitewright. Before opening
the last time every merchant in town
pledged himself to handle Mr. Gates’
bread. Mr. Gates would still be oper-
ating a bakery here had the people
given him their patronage, but the
big concerns operating bread wagons
cut the price of bread until they got
him out, then raised the price. The
result is that Ceiina has lost a fam-
ily and a business .house and a resi-
dence are empty. Such things are
what make a town dry up. A bak-
ery is a small affair, but small things
must be considered if we are to have
bigger ones.
Charley Andrews, editor of the Ce-
iina Record, says: "The fellow who
said labor fights wars and then pays
for them, said a great deal in a few
words.” And that is the truth. Th«
boys, the choice and pick of America,
were taken from the fields, the of-
fices, the carpenter’s bench, and even
from the schools and colleges, thrown
into the front line trenches and won
the war. Instead of getting their
jobs back on their return, the swivel
chair men who profiteered and be-
came so rich that they needed no
more money have shut down so many
places that formerly gave employ-
ment that these boys, many of them
are on the verge of want, if not star-
vation. Many bright promises were
made to them when they were sent
--over "the seas, and but few of these
were ever kept. If there is ever an-
other war in which the United States
takes part, we are in favor of taking
these profiteering birds, regardless
of their age or condition, and throw
them in the front as shock troops,
and we are in favor of confiscating
all money and all property for wrar
purposes first. We would make scouts
out of firearms and ammunition man-
ufacturers, and send them out in front
to locate the enemy, and if they
shouldn’t come back it would be
known that they had found the en-
emy. Sherman said that war is hell,
but the aftermath of war is two hells.
—Ernest Parker in Sherman Demo-
crat.
Them’s our sentiments, Ernest.
A hijacker who attempted to rob
Frank Burrus, former Ceiina man, in
Oak Cliff early Saturday night, came
to grief.
Mr. Burrus, son of the late Uncle
Billie Burrus of this city, and his
wife operate a store and market in
Oak Cliff. Saturday night two men
walked into the store, one stopping
near the front where Mrs. Burrus
chanced to be, while the other walked
to the rear where Mr. Burrus was cut-
ting meat. When Mr. Burrus turned
around he faced an ugly looking pis-
tol. As quick as a flash he seized the
gun and shoved it downward with
his left hand and dealt the bandit a
blow across the face with a large but-
cher knife he heldin his right hand.
As the bandit released the gun he
said: "You’ve got me. Don’t shoot
me.” At that time Mrs. Burrus
screamed and in the confusion Mr.
Burrus allowed the banlit he had
slashed to get out. The other bandit
had preceded the wounded bandit in
making his exit.
While the fight was going on a
delivery boy entered the store, went
to the rear and got a shot gun and
took two shots at the two men and
the man with whom Burrus had the
encounter fell. Another man wait-
ing in a car drove off but circled and
he and his pal put the injured man in
the car and escaped. They left the
injured man at a residence from
which place an ambulance was called
and carried him to a hospital where
he was being guarded by officers.
Mr. Burrus is a brother of Mrs.
Louis Cox, who lives two miles south
of town.

Mrs. H. Price of Woodside, L. I.,
writes: “A year ago I weighed 190
lbs. I started to take Kruschen and
now I weigh 126 and never felt better
in my life and what’s more, I look
more like 20 yrs. old than the moth-
er of two children, one 19 and the
other 18. Every one of my friends
say it’s marvelous the way I re-
duced.”
To lose fat with speed take a half
teaspoonful of Kruschen in a glass of
hot water before breakfast every
morning—don’t miss a morning—an
85 cent bottle lasts 4 weeks—get it
at any drug store in America. If
not joyfully satisfied after first bot-
tle—money back.
There has been some good hog-kill-
ing weather this week.
