mornings paper the fact that there
grew In the yard of Dan Lott, at old
WaresbOro, a cork tree, and that your

The Difference,

AS sort Of companion, or rather
opposition query to "What is the
difference between Cleveland panic
and Mckinley boom ?" it is now
asked "What is the difference between
a calamity howl in 1898 and a
calamity howl in 1897"
There is very big difference. In
1928 there was pretty good share
OF business activity and commercial
prosperity in this country. But it was
about to be turned over to Democratic
management with the probability of
the passage of Democratic low tariff
This was not altogether satisfactory to
those statesmen who had been en-
deavoring to scare the people into the
belief that Democratic success at the
polls meant commercial disaster. They
decided to destroy confidence and kill
industry and arraign the Democratic
party as the murderer. They did this.
They began the calamity bowling
against live industries and continued
it four years.
When prosperity had vanished they
prepared for the new presidential cam
paign and succeeded in electing their
candidate. Now, while trying to pass
a tariff quite as unjust and harsh as
the Mckinley law, they misrepresent
the true condition of affairs, chronicle
untruthiul rumors and monthly firing
Of furnaces as great industrial revlvals
due to the influence and effect of the
new bill. Any honest effort to show
the true condition of industry is, by
the aforesaid statesmen, labeled a
" calamity howl" TO refrain from
telling untruths about business condi-
tions and thus prevent the unsuspect-
ing from investing money in precarious
enterprises is by them denomlnated
'pessimism."
That is the difference between the
calamity howls." The first was based
on untruth; the second is publication
of the truth. h.-Ee.

HINTS ABOUT MOURNING.

To be in good taste deep mourning
demands lustreless materials and gar
nitures.
Diamonds and jewelry are not per
missible with first mourning. Some
women do it, but it is not in goot
taste.
Grape, of course, always indicates
the heaviest mourning, and more o.
less of this tends to make YOU frs
gown handsome
Lustreless jet and lustreless core
passementerie jackets and gIrdles al
come especially for mourning wear.
There need be no difference in the
fashion of making ; many OF the deep
est mourning gowns have exact re-
productions Of the short jackets, bas.
que bodlces, guimps effects, inserted
vests, bretelles, revers and collarettes
seen on the collared gowns.
Except for a widow white worn
over black or with black garnitures is
Cohsluered quite proper tor warm
weather mourning.
The widows veil is the longest ever
worn and is always accompanied by
the crepe lisse "widow's cap" in the
front of the bonnet. Unless for a
husband or mother, when the wear
er is Of middle age, the short veil with
crepe folds at the edge is much more
worn of late yenrs.
For still another stage for just be-
fore putting on cclors lovely twills in
gray, gray and white and mauve and
white come. A gray grenadine seen
lately, striped with violet made up
over violet MORE, was exquisite. A
white Swiss dotted in black over VIC.
let taffeta would be pretty and in
keeping.
