Macauley: “The smallest actual good is greater than the most magnificent prom ises of impossibilities.” Walter Winchell describes Broadway as a place where people spend money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t need to impress people they don’t like.

White men who held up and robbed the Citizens Bank of Mars Hill early in Sep tember were sentenced to serve long terms in prison, a little more than a month after their offense. There should be no short cuts in administering justice; likewise, there should be no unnecessary delays in bringing the accused to trial. The Mars Hill case is illustrative of what the law can do and should do more fre quently in handling criminals.—Oxford Public Ledger. • ■ X About Pronunciations ^ Unsigned Articles Despite the warning even,^ few months that news articles not accompanied by the name of the writer will not be published. The Journal-Patriot receives some of this type of news every week. Tliis does not mean that the name will be printed, but we must know the name of the persons sending in articles. This rule will l>e strictly adhered to and sending in anything without your name will be a waste of time. In the Public Pulse column we main tain for the expression of views on various subjects the name of the person signing the article will be published. Some newspapers publish such articles signed by “A Reader” of “A Subscriber,” but we do not think this is fair to the reading public, who is entitled to know who is expressing opinions. In fact your opinion is worthless if you are not willing to back it up with your name. .Tht^AAA fund Fww” the objection by en^ea of Uie Rooeevelt aclgainistration to the AAA on the grounds that the practice of crop re- ducion was regimentation of fanners and was not on a democratic principle, it seems that the farmers themselves want national planning to continue. A recent referendum shows that com and hog producers favor continuance by a vote of around eijdit or ten to one. This I'esult was expected because these grow ers have been'receiving higher prices and reduction payments. Opponents of the AAA have plenty of grounds on which to attack the principle of crop reduction. The AAA, we believe, is serving well the purpose of raising the farmer’s income in an emergency, but we are not able to pass an opinion as to the right or wrong of the principle as a per manent setup for the American nation. More attention should be given to de veloping a mai’ket for more products. If all the willing workers of this nation were employed at gainful wages, a great volume more food would be consumed than is the The present drive by the WPA to It Is gratifying to learn from the Na tional Board of Geographic Names that the right way to pronounce the name of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, i.s as if it were spelled “Ahdis Awawa,” with the accent on the first syllable of each word. That goes to show how little most of us know—or care—about the right way to pronounce the names of foreign places. Practically every American pronounces “Paris” the way it is spelled, instead of calling it “Paree,” as the French do. Any body talking about “Mathreeih” would be regarded in these parts as a sissy, but that’s how Spaniards pronounce the name of their capital city, Madrid. As far as that goes, most of us are as careless with Italian names as we are with those of Ethiopia. If we’ve got to say “Ahdis Awawa,” why aren’t we under equal com pulsion to say “Roma,” “Napoli, Tir- enze” and “^nova” instead of our slip shod AmericJVway of pronouncing Rome, Naples, Floresnce and Genoa the way we spell them?

The AAA must be handled carefully in order that the nation will not have to im port any farm products that can be pro duced in this country. The protective tariff, now recogni?:ed as an essential by both major parties, can be used very effectively to protect farmers from invasion of foreign farm products. CYOLB, Get. 2».—Mr*.

Borrowed Comment WE NEED TO LEARN ABOUT FIRE (Skyland Post) There is nothing more necessary at time than fire, and there is nothing more dangerous—if not rightly handled. Each year, The Skyland Post has had the sad duty of reporting to its readers that a home and all the possessions of the home has been lost by fire, or that children have been burned to death. The GreenX^lley tragedy is the first re port that we have had of adults being burned to death, but it all goes back to the fact that we are not educated to the fact that fire is dangerous and we do not know how to handle it in an emer gency.

Lockwood, the lone survivor of Min nesota’s Last Man club, was borne to his final resting place a few days ago. His death marked the extinction of the members of Company B, 1st Minnesota volunteer infantry that answered the first call for volunteers under the command of President Lincoln. The company took part in the first battle of Bull Run and served com- mendably in many notable encounters in the war. Twenty years after the close of the war, the members of the company held a reunion at which time the Last Man club was formed. Thirty-four members were present at this reunion. A bottle of Burgandy wine was procured and set aside for a toast to the last man and for the last man to use as a toast for his comrades. As the years wore on, the number of empty, draped chairs increar- ed until in 1917 only three survivors were left. Another was gone in 1929 and another in 1930. On the annual meeting date. July 21 of that same year, Lockwood attended the last dinner— the last man of the Last Man club, surrounded by thirty-three empty chairs. He drank the toast to his absent partners as was prearranged according to the spirit of the group who had so joyously celebrated many years before. The bottle of Burgundy was preserved and re placed in its rosewood case along with the rec ords of the regiment and delivered to the library at Stillwater. Minnesota. With his comrades gone on before him, the lone survivor carried on for the remainder of his years and now he is gone to his reward. The years are slowly hut surely taking their toll of the men of the blue and the gray of times when brothers in kind were angered with each other and fought, but which differences have long been forgotten now. Before many more years have passed, somewhere, the last man of the entire hosts of that day gone by, may have the privilege of drinking a toast to all the other survivors and then joining them soon in the legion of a far greater regiment’ from whose bonme no traveler retams. ane «... ue .. ..c. g„.,reiy original one-volume community, though the influence , „ . , ’ , , , cyclopedia appears this ol her gentleness and usefulness ' ” will live on ill the hearts of her loved ones and friends.
