(X, un der act of March Srd, 1878. the fountain of youth "Papa Joe" was a remarkable man! Volumes could be written about him, of his rare philosophy of life, of his creed pot into daily practice; of noble simplicity, honest and charitable deal ing with his fellowman. A magnifi cent bearing, a twinkling eye, a ^rightiT^p, and a word of good ^K^?r for every one he met, gave unmistakable evidence that he knew a secret spring?the Fountain of Youth, which, unlike the searchers of old who made voyages of exploration, he discovered to be in his own heart Time pasaed him so lightly that strangers meeting Joseph Warren Parker never thought of him as old, and would guess his age to be fifteen or twenty years less than the actual record. He retained the Spirit of Youth by thinking of others first, and he spent most of his life and received most of his pleasure in providing well and giving happiness to those about him. Resourceful and of sound judg ment, he gave his personal oversight and personal interest to fanning and of it a successful business, never laying down the reins or giving up the active management of his af fairs until the day of his passing. He was a faithful member of the Methodist Church, temperate in all things, tolerant and logical in his thinking, and while not regarded as a pious mjan, his personal library con sisted of the books of the Bible, and recordings -in his own hand reveal that be read it entirely through four tccn in the psst sixteen yenrs* The bookmark, carefully placed when he laid it down for the last time, suggests that his eyes rested on this passage; "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suf fered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you." Benevolent, of genial disposition and dispensing a benignity and warm fellowship towards mankind, he could nevertheless be prevailed upon to join any dub or society, but the kindly counsel he gave from his dwe of wisdom, acquired from years of ob servation and experience, waa of in estimable value to friends, who often called on "Papa Joe" or "Uncle Joe" as he was familarly called, for guid ance. Married twice, the first time to Mrs. Victoria Sugg Askew, and the second to Miae Alice Harper, the two Greene county women proved^to be" congenial companions uid help meets in his journey through life. He had two daughters, the late Mrs. Vivian Parker Harris, who pre ceded him to his grave by ten years, and Miss Alice Harper Parker, who survives. Be was a kind and loving stepfather to tike children of his first wife Mrs. Dora Askew Hoetim Keel, W. C. Askew, and the late Mis. lallie Askew Hortcn, and the most affec tionate and devoted of grandfathers * to Mrs. John D. Dixon, Mrs. W.

It is true that many States have done very little hot it should be noted that this is due, apparently, to finan cial conditions in these States. New York, Illinois, Massachusetts ami other States have expended eomridera We money in the interests of relief. Just about a week ago, for example, the State of Calftornia, appropriated $35,000,000 for temporary unempioy ment relief until a more permanent plan can be worked out later in the year. THE GENERAL WELFARE The American ideal of government includes the freedom of the individual to live his, or her, life under the pro tection of the law so long as the in dividual does not harm other individ uals. * Any interference, on the pert of government, in the affairs of citizens must be justified on the ground that it restrains some of us from injuring1 others. This rule also applies to business activities of citizens. The liberty accorded American citi zens is not license. It must be en joyed without injury to the general welfare, which is as important in the American scheme as individual liber-1 ties. This fact should not be over-! looked. A MOVE FOR PEACE There are ominous signs of trouble ahead in Europe and Asia, with Japan and the German-Italian axis recording perfect timing in their aggressive j moves. Against this background the Con gress of the United States is consid ering proposed changes in existing Neutrality laws which would aboKahl the present mandatory embargo on shipment of anna and munitions, to J belligerents in time of war and give! the President power to define "areas of eombat operations" into which American vessels might not proceed! during a war. The main attack upon the hQl to] make the changes is launched upon ! the argument that they are "war! measures." Opponents fear that they will lead us into war when it begins.! We have little idea that the United j States will get into a war, except in! defense of her own interests, but the] surest way to keep our interests pro tec ted is to take action that will pre-] vent an international struggle By passing the proposed hill the 'Congress will serve notice upon the] world that warmakers must take into J consideration the position of tide na tion. The aggrMsors will understand that American supplies will be avails-j ble to nations fighting in setf-defeoea, j since they control the seas. This will! be a powerful factor in making war] leas probable. As the New York Times says, the new measure is "a peace measure," not a war measure; and to this extent it throws the influence of the United j States where it ought to be, isr our] own safety, as well as for our self respect?on the side of international law and order."

Take ji vacation even if you have to visit some friend who is taking a vacation. ? - Christianity is a wonderful way of life, but . some of the interpretations are rmndd. Even if you are only half aa good as yon think you are, somebody will find it out When individuals become discon tented and discouraged, they are apt; to accept radical ideas. No institution of the human race is sacred or divine; what men have made they can remake. _ _ ' % 1 The next time you hear somebody come up and say, "I am a taxpayer," just query, "So what?" ' /i ' ' /. I An organised minority, even in a| democracy, is more powerful than an unorganised majority. Smart merchants and business men understand that business exists for the benefit of customers. Work, it is often remarked, will be followed by rest; why not take a short-cut and enjoy the rest? ? :?? L<] Any economic system is in a state of collapse when millions of dtixens cannot find employment. " ?" ? ? Somebody sayB that knowledge re moves fear.
