THE MOCKING BIRD
Georgia's Poet-Laureate, Frank L.
Stanton, who is well acquainted with
melody of the mocking birds, pays it the
following tribute:
"He didn't know much music.
When he first came along;
An ' all the birds went , wondering
Why he didn't sing a song.
They primped their feathers in the sun,
An' sung their sweetest notes;
An' music just came on the run
. From all their pretty throats.
But still that bird was silent..
In the summer time an' fall,
He just .set still an '.listened,
.An' he wouldn't sing at all! .
But one night when the songsters
Were Vired out an' still.
An' the wind sighed down the valley
An' went creeping up the hill I
When the stars were all a-tremble
In the dreaming fields of blue,
An' the daisy in the darkness'
Felt the fallin' o' the dew
' . ; . 'i
There came a sound o' melody
No mortal ever head,
An' all the birds seemed singing
From the throat o' some sweet bird.
Then the other birds went Mayin'
In a land too. far to call ;
For there wern't no use in staying
When one bird could sing for all I
BANKERS HERE THE LAST
WEEK IN APRIL
Business men in Pinehurst and there
are many of them will be interested in
the remarks of Mr. Richard H, Hawes, of
St. Louis, President of. the American
Bankers' Association, in a recent address
delivered before the Chicago Association
of Commerce, and we wish that space
would permit reproducing his words in
full. . His theme was the Excess Profits
T"x, which he denounced, declaring that
'Hhe excess profits tax is a contributing
factor to the high cost of living. " ' ' The
war revenue law, for the most part, ' ' Mr.
Hawes continued, ' ' needs revision to
bring it back to the sound principles
necessary to rectify the present banking
situation. Taxes t'hat can be passed on
from one person to another with a profit,
or taxes represive or confiscatory, are a
detriment to our economic life."
Mr. Hawes. senior vice president of the
First National Bank of St. Louis, is a
striking example of the self-made man.
Constant use of the term of late year3
has rubbed off much of its sharpness,
but here is a man in the story of whose'
life after his fifteenth year there is no
mention of school, business college or
other institution of learning. Only the
reat school of life enters this boy's ado
lescent period. Born at Covington, Ky.,
forty-five years ago, the grandson of Gov
ernor Smith N. Hawes, he attended the
public schools of the city. At fifteen we
find him in Kansas City, 700 hundred
nrles away from home, working for a
small jeweler. His banking experience
began a year later in Texarkana, Ark., as
office boy in a small bank.
He came to St. Louis twenty-seven
years .ago, and began as a clerk in the old
Third National. By degrees he rose to
the position of senior vice president.
Th's year when the Third National, Me
chanics American and St. Louis Union
Bank were merged with the two other
banks forming the First National, Mr.
Hawes became the senior vice president
of the consolidation. He has already
served as a member of the executive com
mittee, and later on the administration
coiririttee. Mr. Hawes has also served as
rerident of tlie St. Louis Chamber" of
Commerce, president of the Missouri
Bankers Association and president of the
Reserve City Bankers' Association. Nat
urally endowed with the attributes of an
ora'or he has all his life been much
sought after as a public speaker.
Mr. Hawes, accompanied by Mrs.
Hawes, will arrive in Pinehurst on the
25th at the head of the financiers who
have elected to hold their Annual Spring
Meeting in Pinehurst, which they will
-surely find to be a delightful place, not
only to do business, but to play golf and
get plenty of outdoor exercise. Horse
racing and an exhibition of rifle shooting
by Annie Oakley are on the program.
Among the latest to signify their in
tention of coming to Pinehurst on the
' '"Springtonic Special" are Willis D.
Longyear, of Los Angeles ; Charles W.
Camp,' of Garrett, Ind; Frank W. Blair,
of Detroit; Dudley E. Waters, of Grand
Rapids; M. B. Petriken, of Greeley, Col;
C. L. Hansen, of Thief River Falls, Minn.
Of the special Pullmans reserved for the
Chicago contingent, but one remains to
be filled. The train this year will surpass
all of its predecessors in personnel.
' ' Friend wife ' ' will be present in greater
abundance than ever before.
