Government in Memory of the Valor of Southern Soldiers Sold at Premium by Banks Throufbout.tbe Country To Aid Memorial fund tnr Stone Mountain Atlanta, Ga., May 27? A joint ap_ peal signed by D. S. Etheridge of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Commander in Chief of the Sons of the Confed erate Veterans, and fourteen past Commanders-in-Chief, was today is sued to all Southerners, and Sons of Veterans in particular, to huy Confederate Memorial Half-Dollar* issued by Congress to commemorate the valor of the Southern Soldiers. "As sons of Confederate soldiers," the statement of these leaders de clare, "we would be false to our her itage if we failed to show our appre ciation of the Confederate Memor. iaal Half-Dollar coinage, authorized ial Half-Dollar coinage, authorized | ory of the valor of the Southern j Soldiers and in aid of the great mon- I ument being carved in their name | on Stone Mountain." Joining with Mr. Etheridge, pres- j eat Commander-in-Chief in the ap- j peal are the following former leaders of the Sons of Veterans: W. Mc- j Donald Lee, Richmond, Va., W. McL. I Fayssaux, New Orleans, La., j Wal ter T. Colquitt, Atlanta. Ga., J. P. j Norfleet, Memphis, Tenn.; W. W. YANKS INVADE CANADA j WHEN UNTAR10 PASSES FOUR PER CENT LAW Real Beer Across The Border Causes In flux of Americans to The Tune of "I j Wont be Home Untii Morning" . i A leading New York financier says: J Wall street generally is planning long and expensive vacations for this summer. Since election brok_ erage profits have been very large satisfactory. Partners are going to Europe, California and North Caro lina and many of them are to be gone the whole summer. One firm has six partners; two of them are already in Europe, two others will be going in June and the other two are going in October to be gone un_ til Christmas. Many California and North Carolina trips are being plan ned and private cars being charter ed for the purpose. In short, Wall Street is preparing to enjoy its best vacation since the war days. And when these Wall Street plu trocrats hit the Land of the Sky it will be uP to every man jack living in Western North Carolina to sell them the advantages of this section as a place of permanent residence. It can be done ? it has been done in Florida. Treat these visitors from the crowded streets of Manhattan hu manly, don't gouge them exhorbit antly, and make their visit a real pleasure. They will come back ? and many of them will come back to stay. Let's try it!

Smy the, Atlanta, Ga.; J. W. Apperson, diloxi,, Miss.; Thomas P. Stone, Wa co, Texas; Ernest S. Baldwin, Roan oke, Va.; and Judge R. B. Houghton, St. Louis, Mo. The statement continues: "We should consider it our duty not only to buy these coins for our selves and families but also to ren der the fullest cooperation within our power in the campaign of the Stone Mountain Confederate Monu_ mental Association to sell the entire issue at a premium as a means of raising funds for the carving. "Here in sixty years since the close of the War between the States, with its frightful carnage and bitterness we behold the specta cle of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson riding on horseback on a coin of the United States. "What more can be said or done to prove to the world and prove to ourselves that we stand together as one united people? "There is no other instances In history where the victors have held out their hands to the vanquished in such a magnificent gesture of friend ship and reconciliation. "It means that our fathers have been vindicated. It means that their bravery and devotion to a cause have become an accepted part of our common heritage of glory. "Is there in the South a Southern er whose heart does not thrill with pride over the significance of this great thing has come to pass in our country? "In trie name of our fathers who fought and our mothers who suffered we call upon the sons and daughters of the Confederacy, organized and unorganized, to show themselves worthy. "Every Southern home should have one of these coins for every member of the family." Comments From An Editor's Pige Girls are subjects for newspaper editorial comment beyond end. Scat tered on just one editor's page is found the following: "No girl should teach in one town more than three years. If she can't get a hus band in that time it is a waste of time to stay longer." "If bobbing the hair makes it thicken, why won't a lawn mower make the grass grow." "The^ modem girl has her little faults but she does seem to be out growing the giggles" "An editor who fears the modern girl is 'overcultL vrted' for the modern man Just pos sibly meant overdone but couldn't think of the word." v Hit Brlde-The Richest in the World David M.

There are some j bad stands of cotton, but we hope it i will be good yet. Fanners, you all j know that Polk County was trans- j ferred from Rutherford and Hender- j son counties; in other words, it was ^grafted from those counties, but you know that the best fruit is graft, ed from other trees. We have a fine county if we would only realize it. Columbus ia our county seat. Some folks say 1^ is grown, but it is not yet for it is growing. Now it was very little when it started. I have been told that the first election that was held in Columbus there were on. ly three vote8 cast. And at that time old man Billie Splawn and Ran som 'Itallant were leaders of the county. It is quite different now, and then. I tell you we have the best climate in the world. Now if anybody has anything to say about it, let's hear from you in the next next paper. Well, I will have to quit this subject for Pea Ridge is calling me. Howdy.do Mam, I am glad to meet you what are the Pea Ridge folk8 doing? Nowadays I don't read much from you in every paper. Don't you hear Mill Springs calling me? Howdy, Mill Spring. We'd like to have a nice long piece from you in the next paper too to tell us what your farmers are doing. Now farmers, I will give the farmers the ten commandments written for the ; farmer. Thou shalt feed the soil, other wise the soil cannot feed thee. 2. Thou shalt be careful in the By Arthur Briihano ACCURSED DISTRIBUTION. SAMUEL RUBEL, HE SAVED. THEY PRAYED, ITJRAINED. WE EAT TOO MUCH. * It costs more to carry a sack of potatoes from the train to a store in New York City than it does1 to ship the sack 1,100 miles by ra.lroad. The farmer raises the calf, weans it, feeds it, feeds and milks the grown cow, and gets for the milk a quarter of the money paid by the person that drinks the milk. You can bring freight across the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean for less than it costs to take it across the North River in New York City. The curse of business is the high cost of distribution. Production we understand, in distribution we are as backward as Fiji Islanders. Samuel Rubel came from Russia a few years ago. He hadn't a dollar, but he did have a distinct idea that a dollar was worth hav ing; also he realized that the only way to have many dollars is to save the first few. A little while ago he was peddling coal for a living, today he is head of his own $50,000,000 ice and coal concern. Young gentlemen, if pays to save ?ven a LITTLE. The prices of automobile tires have gone up from 10 to 12 per cent in London. They are going up here. If you need tires, go ana buy them. They will be much dearer before they are cheaper. The United States Government investigates what happened to wheat, when the price suddenly dropped from $2 to $1.40, making millions in profits for "shorts." They are gentlemen that never dug in the ground, ran a harvest selection of seed thou plan test for on ! this depends much of thy success. 3. 'TfcoU shalt take interest In" thy work for bad results come only from Indifferent disposition. 4. When thou borrowest from thyi neighbor, thou shalt return the same promptly aand In goo d condition. 5. Thou shalt at all times be gen tle and kind to thy horses and other j i live stock and animals. 6. Thou shalt keep- thy machinery well oiled while li^ use and always well sheltered from the weather. A 7. Remember that thy ' servant and thy maid servant are human and should be treatefl as thy self would expect to be treated. 8. Thou shalt treat thy wife and all thy children with such respect tr or i tractor, but that know enough to rig the market. The Government may investi gate, but it won't do much to pro tect farmers from cutthroat mani pulation until it imitates the French Government That nation passed a law to punish with imprisonment with hard labor for life certain kinds of grain gambling. Last week, led by the Rotary Club, the business men of Denver, standing in silence for two minutes, prayed for rain, and the next night, in almost every part of the State, rain fell in torrents, and the weather bureau announces more. Nothing could be more edifying, but farmers in Colorado are puz zled. They cannot understand why Providence should answer the prayers of business men that only deal in crops after ignoring the prayers and heavy losses of the farmers that RAISE the crops. However, the ways of Providence are beyond human understanding, and farmers ought to know it It is possible to be a criminal and not be a complete fool. Harry Valkes, of Pittsburgh, makes and sells bootleg whiskey. He tells the Judge: It is all right to sell, but to drink myself, nothing do ing. Only fools drink now; wise ones seiL" in Business on a big scale is grow ing in big things and little things. One chain of grocery stores does a business of more than $352,000, 000 a year. ' One five and ten cent store chain a little while ago announced as its ambition a business of $60,000,000 a year. It doesinow more than $250,000,000 a year. In retail business there is un limited prosperity for the man that understands the meaning and use of the three magic words ? "ORGANIZE, DEPUTIZE, SU PERVISE." Professor Max Rubner, of Berlin, says Americans eat more on the average ? 3,308 calories daily ? than any other nation. England comes next, with 2,997 calories. It Is certain that this country eats too much, and wastes about as much , as it eats. Half we eat keeps us alive. One quarter keeps the doctors alive, and one quarter supports the undertakers and cem etery owners. Eat half, leave the table for ten minutes, and once digestion starts you'll know you've eaten enough. LATHING PLASTERING YOUR PLASTERING, PLEASE! W. O. WOLFE JR.
