WRITES FROM MONTEVIDEO
The Capital of Uruguay Is As Large
As Baltimore.
Col. H. G. Cooper received a let
ter from his son, Mr. Elliott Cooper,
who sailed from New York three
months ago for Montevideo, Urugu
ay, to accept a position with ,the al
lied banks of the world.
Mr. Cooper wrote from Montevi
deo a few days after, he landed,
which seems to imply that it takes
about three months to receive an an
swer to a letter from the capital of
Uruguay.
If it interesting to note that Mon
tevideo has a population of 309,000.
It is the capital of Uruguay, and the
province of Uruguay has only 3JI,
OOfl outside of the capitol city.
Before leaving Oxford for Monte
video, Col. Cooper told his son that
he would find that England domi
nates the business of that part of
Pouth America, and the son writes
that his father's statement was cor
rect, but there are just enough of
American, French, Italian, English
and other nationalities to make
things lively, says Mr. Cooper."
Mr. Cooper advises his parents
that his accommodations and sur
roundings are very pleasant and
that he receives the Public Ledger
and enjoys its visits.

THE OLD SOLDIERS SPEAK IN
GLQVVING TERMS OF REUNION
The Rain Drove Manyof Them From
the Tents to Private Homes.
The seventy-five or more - Gran
ville veterans and sons who attend
ed the reunion in Atlanta last week
returned home on scattering trains
last Friday and Saturday. All agree
that it was the most enthusiastic re
union in recent years. Th rain
fdrove the veterans from the tented
city to the private homes and each
one speaks in reverential tones of
their particula host and nostess. It
was the pleasure of Commissioner
B. I. Breedlove and three of his
comrades to be entered at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J, Ben Dodd, 502
Bass Street, who not only fed them
and tucked them away in soft beds,
but accompanied them -over the'-eity
and pointed out the places of inter
est. Capt. W. H. White was the
guest of his granddaughter, Mrs. C.
H. Dawson. The old vtes will long
remember Atlanta and its hospitable
peoule of that city.
The only criticism that we have
heard of the reunion was the fact
that the sons were denied the dis
tinction of dining with the vets. This
was the first time that such a thing
happened at any of the former re
unions and .it shocked some of the
old veterans. But this was only a
matter of form, the sons being look
ed after by the Red Cross.

vets and sons who attended the re
union follows:

FOOD PRICES LIKELY TO DROP
BUT CLOTHING MAY GO UP
The Country Is Sick With Prosperity
Says a Noted Economist
(Washington Post.)
Dr. Clyde L. King, of the .Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, noted econom
ist and government adviser on eco
nomic problems, makes this diagno
sis of the high cost of living:
Fnod nrirps nrp now flt.' thmrt
highest level and from now on, a de-l
r , " .
cline may be looked for
- Indications are that more ad van-1
ces are in order in the prices-of sho
es and clothing.
The price of building materials is
booked to continue high for at least
another year. -
Persistent attacks on profiteers
will result in liquidation of vast
stocks of food and consequent bank
ruptcies. Better standards of living are not
possible unless there shall be a
greater production of necessities.
There cannot be a thorough read
justment downward here until nor
mal conditions are restored abroad.
Doctor King thoroughly approves
the report on the high cost of living
issued recently by the United States
Council of National Defense, over
the signatures of Secretary of War
Baker, chairman of the council, and
other members of the cabinet.
In brief the report advised the
people of America to work, save, co
operate and produce.
"Better standards of living," stat
es the report, "are impossible with
out the production of more goods."
"The report," said Doctor King,
"shjows the huge amounts of food in
storage, greatly in excess of ,the
quantity stored last year.
"The added price at which this
food went into storage must be tak
en into consideration, however, if
one is to get a clear view of the sit
uation. EVERY DAY A BIG

TWO MILLION POUNDS SOLD
ON OXFORD MARKET
The Average of AH Sold Is About
$51 Per Hundred.
Tobacco sales at the" close of the
week's business Friday brought the
season's total for the Oxford mar
. . ....
et up to two million pounds. It is
that about $1,000,000
has changed hands since the market
opened September 9.
Tobacconists estimate that less
then one-third of the crop has been
sold. Continued fine quality of of
ferings disprove the early season
idea that most of the best quality
weed would be sold rightt off. Prices
indicate a tendency to soar further.
Leaf has sold here recently for as
M Vvl
much as $1.10 a pound. Dollar-a-J
pounds tobacco is no longer a curios
ity. .
Tobacco wagons were here last
Friday from Granville, Vance, Dur
ham, Franklin, Person- counties,
North Carolina, and Mecklenburg
and Halifax counties, Virginia. A
fine oldfarmer from over in Virgin
ia told the Public Ledger " that he
made $50 by selling, on the Oxford
market and saved $50 more by pur
chasing necessities at Horner Bros.
Company, including two suits of
Hart, Schaffner & Marx clothing for
himself and son.
A great deal oi tooacco is com -
ing in from new territory, the repu-
tation of the market for highest av-
erages in the world attracting atten
tion far and wide.
We regret, however, that some of
our nearest by farmers are hauling
the weed to other markets-and are
not showing a proper appreciation
of the home market. But, we hope
thev will change their ideas soon
and lend their encouragement and
patronage to the upbuilding or tne
home market which is undoubtedly
the best in the world today.

therefore, make the handling of the

Get the idea. There is still an active

it is still on the job. - Although its
work in time of peace is somewhat
different from its war work. Yet
none the less important though
quite a lot, more selfish, since it is
planning to do the greater part of
the work among its own county peo
ple. It is therefore asking and ex
pecting every man, woman and child
to join it again this year.- Its goal
is not less than 5,000 members. Any
information will be gladly given at

BEWARE OF COUNTERFEIT
WAR .SAVINGS STAMPS
The Stamps Is Slightly Smaller
Than the Original.
Washington, Oct. 13. The prac
tice of buying War Savings stamps!
from salesmen other than with cre
dentials from the government has
inspired a clever gang to put out
several thousand dollars'-worth ot
the $5 denomination. -Many
of these have been seized
by secret service operatives, but
there is a dangerous amount still at
large.
The bogus stamps may be easily
recognized. They are made by pho
tographic reproduction from the ori
ginals and are good imitations. But
the ink used is a darker-blue than
the real-thing. The stamp is slight
ly smaller- than the original. The
background is Tf lighter colon The
horizontal lines beside the portrait
of Franklin do not show. - Mbsf of
the stamps thus far sold have been
in folders of 20, which will be worth
$100 in 1924. ' . '

NUMBER 82
SOON' THE CLOCKS WILL'
BE TURNED BACK AGAIN
Some People Seemed To Think the
Law Went Into Effect October i
The law that was enacted in the
early part of the year 1918, known
as the Daylight Saving Law, will
soon be a thing of the past. At two "
o'clock on Sun,dajr morning, October
26, the clocks will be set back one
hour, and that which has become to
be known a old time will be again
in operation. v. ,
The Daylight Savings Law was
twice vetoed by President Wilson,
and the measure after it had
been recommended by President
Wilson in ' the early. Spring
of last year was repealed th6 past
summer after it had been vetoed
twice by the President. The .meas
ure to repeal the law was first pass
ed as a rider to the Agricultural ap
propriation bill. As soon as the
President had a chance he vetoed it.
Congress then attempted to pass it
over the President's veto but failed.
The law which the House passed as
a separate measure repealing the
Daylight Savings Law was later tak
en up and passed by the Senate. The
President once more used his right
of veto and annulled the repeal
measure. But the great power of
the American farmer who had never
liked the new time was so strong
that the representatives in Congress
promptly passed the repeal law. over
the President's veto. Thus the bill
which perhaps forever settled the
Daylight Savings Law became a law.
The law was enacted as a measure
to speed up things in America so as
to whip the thrifty Germans. Now
that Germany has . been whipped,
they passed a law compelling every
body in Germany to work 14 hours
daily. In this country laborers are
striking for a five day. week and a
six hour day. It may be necessary
at no distant day to turn the clocks
up an hour in order to meet the de
mands of the time.
Some people seemed to think that
the law went into effect on October
1, when the new time would be no
more. But in this they were mis
taken and the people must wait un
til the last Sunday .in this month
when the post offices and the trains .
will run on a schedule which will
really be an. hour later by the sun
than at present , . ... W .
THE PROPER WAY TO
CURE SPEED DEMONS
The Lesson Is Said To Be Effective
In Every Case.
A Chicago police judge, finding
the iisual penalties for automobile
speeding ineffective, has resorted to
what he calls the "morgue cure."
When men are arrested for breaking
the speed laws he sends them to the
morgue to see for themselves the nat
ural rsult of such conduct. Under
the guidance of police officers, they
look at the bodies of victims killed
by other fast drivers who presum
ably have been jailed for their of
fenses and are awaiting trial. The
lesson is said to be effective in every
case. The speeder, even though he
has injured no one, has it brought
home to him, by a grim' shock, what
might have happened in , his case
from his selfish or careless disre
gard of other's rights in the city
streets.
J1 took one look at an old man
who had been killed' by an automo
bile,' 'says one of the mild offenders,
"and am cured forever." .
This heroic treatment is not fitted
for universal application, but it
would be well if ahy man or wom
an, whenever tempted to 'drive at
dangerous pace through streets or a
long highways could form a mental
picture of the sort those Chicago of
fenders are obliged to face.

V aluable Farm For Sale.
Mr. Rl L. Knowles, owner of the
Delacroix farm, announce elsewhere
in -this paper that he will sell the
farm as a whole or in part. This
