Hon. George Haven Putnam, the eighty-five year old president of G P. Putnam’s Sons, publishers, re cently forwarded as a gift to the Edgar Allan Poe Society a photo graphic copy of a receipt given by Poe to his father From an ex planatory letter accompanying the gift the following lines are quoted: “The receipt, given, in 1845, to my father by Poe for a loan (which was of course practically a gift) for $14. (the amount covering two week's board) is in the library cf m.v town house “The record of the receipt is given. My father had published. >n 1848, Poe's Eureka, or the secret of the Solar System". Poe had secured from week to week advances for $7, and later for $14 against, proceeds that, were to accrue to the author ship account, from the sales of Eureka. roe naa sUBgesLea w my nuu er that, he ought to print not less than fifteen hundred thousand copies as "the world was certainly waiting for the book.” My father printed an impression, which he hoped might prove to be but a first Impresstqp. of seven hundred and fifty copies; and at the end of the first year he had sold of these but three hundred and seventy-five copies. There were, therefore, nc proceeds lor authorship account and as a fact the sales of the book were never sufficient to offset tho cost of the printing. My father had evidently become somewhat fatigu ed with the constant applications for advances against ‘profits’ from the Eureka, and in the receipt now tn question Poe promises to ‘make no further application.-,,’ at least tn connection with this particular book.” Mr. Putnam concludes his friend ly epistle to this national literarv organisation by writing, "1 can only wish the best possible success to the undertakings of the Poe Soci ety.” This highly valued memento of Poe will be reproduced tn post card size and given to every member of Society. The original reproduc tion will always remain tn the archives of tit® Society, as one of tt* most treasured possessions Mrs. Alberta Gallatin Childs, formerly from the South, Is the founder-president of the Edgar Allan Poe Society. Mr. Edwin Markham, dean of the American poets, is a member of Us advisory board. CAL AND HERB ARE DIFFERENT ON FISH Washington—In the tale of the two presidents, Herbert Hoover and Calvin Coolldge. there is a vast dif ference In “fisherman's luck.” “H” stands for “hard” and double “H” means doubly hard. or. more plainly tough. “C” stands for “comfort” and the double "C” means very comfortable Compare the fishing expressions of the two: Hoover abandoned week-end trips to his Virginia preserves be cause of a drenched forest and quagmire roads. On one of his first trips, in May, a low-hanging branch give him a black eye. His provision trucks got stuck in the mud. He became lost in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains. He slept in a rough, hastlly-construced shack while storms raged. He spent an hour and a half traversing ten miles. Poachers entered his pre serve. Over near rreanca, naa. citizenry protested he was usurp ing the favorite local pools and his secretary made plans to sell the Maryland preserve but wras dis suaded. Calvin Coolidge, In contrast, came closer to the quiescent type of angler immortalized by James Whitcomb Rilev. He was chiefly concerned about the catch. News stories about the Coolidge fishing told of the showing In his swanky fish basket. Newly improved roads smoothed the way for the Coolidge limousine in South Dakota and Wisconsin. Game lodge and Cedar Island lodge were not conductive to hardship. [For his fishing Christmas in Geor gia. Coolidge had the luxurious winter home of Howard Coffin.

MORE Issac Shelby Flour Is Used In Cleveland County Than Any Other Two Flours that are Sold In This Section. Dependable Goodness And Wholesomeness Are The Reasons. Eagle Roller Mill Company THINK! Detroit, Michigan, is the automobile center of the world—it has held this distinction, stead ily, for many years. A large percentage of Detroit's population arc skilled workers who know the real worth of an automobile. They are first to recognize built-in value, and to distinguish the real fundamentals of QUALITY which make a car worth the price it sells for. * In May, 1925, a new high record was made w hen 0,518 Model “T” Ford cars-and trucks were sold in Wayne County, (Detroit) Mich igan. This record was then considered “THE WONDER OF THE AUTOMOBILE WORLD." Over 6,000 Ford cars sold in one county in one month! That was exactly four years ago. Today, De* troit's workers are more highly skilled than ever before, due to the searching light of modern progress. They are even quicker tl^*i ever to recognize THE ONE OUTSTANDING VALUE in today's modern automobile. Now fhere is a new record—a Model “A” record in e' erv sense of the word. In May, 1929, in Wayne County, (Detroit) Michigan, there were sold, at retail in this one month—just passed— 9,305 New Ford Cars and Trucks As Detroit goes, SO GOES THE AUTOMO TIVE WORLD. You owe it to yourself to investigate the merits of the NEW FORD before purchasing your next car. FEATURES OF THE NEW FORD CAR Beautiful low Itnro Choice of colors Remarkable acceler ation Smoothness at all speeds 35 to 65 miles an hour 1'uJiy enclosed, silent six-brake system Now transverse sprint* HoudalUe hydraulic shock absorbers Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield Economy of operation Reliability and long IKe CHAS.
