In the background can be seen Memorial Hall, relic of the Centennial, and which is now being used as a museum. It was on this spot that Don Pedro, then Emperor of Brazil, met the 29-year-old inventor and exclaimed, "My Cod, it talks!" when he heard Bell's voice come over the wire. , Tho exhibits to be staged by the organization these men represent will be one of the great features of the Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition, which opens in Philadelphia June 1 and continues to December 1 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the signing, of the Declaration nf TiHlpnnTufonfo . Tje GOLDEN RULE in PRACTICE a series' of articles by prominent, leaders on the Golden Rule as a guide in Inter national Relations. FURTHERING WORLD PEACE ' The Republican Nominee in the alitor;;! rohinin of The Amic- ilk- Citizen, a large, number of Re publicans have no. doubt been sur prised to read the splendid editorial from the pen of the editor of that pa per commending the nomination t of Captain R. Kenneth Smathcrs for Congress by that party,- which editor ial is a vindication in itself of. any charges of unfairness by the Demo-, cratic press.. The editorial reads a.s follows: "The Citizen congratulates both the Republican party and the people of the Tenth District upon the nomina tion by the Republicans as Congres sional representative of a gentleman of such high character, ability, and unimpeachable reputation as Captain R. Kenneth Smatl.ers. "The party credits itself by show ing both that it has high-class ma terial on which to draw for a candi date and that it has the disposition to select such a candidate. The peo ple of the District may take satisfac tion in the fact that the personnel of its representative will, be admirable, whethpr it bp the vet undetermined nominee of the Dcmocratc party or C.I T the chosen standard bearer ot ine re publicans. It is of course highly im probable that Captain Smathers will be elected, but rejection will not be due to any fault in him, but to the fact that' the high-class 'Democratic nominee will represent policies more preferred by the people than those of the Republicans. ' "The Republican nominee is of the type we think would have appealed to Theodore Roosevelt, a clean-lived, upstanding, man who credits his fel low men with good intentions ana does not seek to find offense where none possible was in the remotest de gree intended. Any real crmcisyi must be directed against the nomi nee on two ooints his Republican I principles, which he inherited' from his father, Postmaster C. F. Smath 'eis of Canton, and his youth. I "But youth is not arguable against ' Captain Stnathers, for he has com I nrpsced a pond deal of exoerience in his 27 years. He began life early and drove hard. He was All-Southern track star while at Trinity Col lege (Duke University) and at the age of 19 was a lieutenant: in the World War service. For four years he was a member of the faculty at Emory ' University and for several years has been ' actively "engaged in the practice of law."

By SIR ESME HOWARD British Ambassador to thp United States PUBLIC opinion in America Is rallying to the belief that the naition's own prosperity depends it a peat extent on the prosperity of thers. By helping the Near East ' Rellof you are laying a great founda ' tion for America's future in foreign 'lands. Ye-u may think it strange that I, as an Englishman, should rejoice to see ' American competition growing in i these countries of the Near East, I , iido so not only because as a sincere ',. friend and admirer 1 am glad to oie , -prosperity in this country, but also . because I believe it will bring pros . yerity to those countries also. At the time of the Christian exodus from Anatolia, 1,500.000 refugees were - ncived4nto impoverished Greece. It Is st imated that fifty per cent of thesa people are now able to provide ' tor themselves. The Greek govern . Bient is spending millions for this pur " pobt. and the refugee commission ot ; dive League of Nations is administer- tec a large international loan for the , .rente purpose. I say this to show 6w . jtmpotisible it is to expect these over- ttardened agencies to take over the , !Huy thousand children whem the iKear East Relief is so generously and '.. maiccificently supporting, teaching them to earn their own living and.be- ' cons useful citizens.

UNKQWC WSilTUIg OF ANIMAL CCONUMK UNLESS a poultryman Is clearing' at least two dollars for each layer in , his flock every year, there Is something wrong with the methods he jls using, says the Larrowe Institute of Animal Economies. It may be a case ' of poor layers, poor housing or just plain poor food. Even the best bred hen will hot lay day after day unless she is fed with those elements which she must have to turn into eggs. Any heV will lay in the spring it's her nature to do this but if poultry keeping is to be a profitable business the hen must be induced to lay throughout the year.
