MRS. FELTON, KIMBERLY
 HOSTESS FOR MRS. RAMSAY

Mrs. Andrew Carnegie Ramsay has been the center of a continuous round of hos pitalities since her marriage, just as sshe was before that event. Luncheons are given in her honor frequently and other affairs are scheduled to occur within few days. Mrs. Felton Wimberly was hostess at the latest of the incidents which she inspired, entertaining at luncheon at the Country club. Mrs. Wim- berly was Mrs. Ramsay's matron of honor. She has been absent from society for some time because of her mourning and was unable for this reason to take part in any of the festities attendant upon the Ramsay -McLester wedding. Now that she is laying aside her mourning, she Is again a gracious figure in society. At her luncheon she effected a beautiful decorative scheme-pink sweet peas, mak- ing a large centerpiece which later were drawn by the guests as corsage bouquets. Other accessories were in keeping. The party included the honoree and the mem bers of her bridal party, with the addi- ton of Miss Mary Wares guest, Miss Martha Robinson of Richmond, Va.

FLOWER MISSION DAY
 TUESDAY WITH w. C. T. U.

The annual celebration of Flower Mis- sion Day falls on Tuesday, June 1. The flower mission Is one of the sweet cus- toms followed by the Woman's Christian Temperance union for several years It means the distribution of flowers in the local hospitals and prison. with word of cheer and brightness that flowers in- troduce into the lives of the suffering and depressed. The women of the organiza- tion. are asking for more flowers than usual this, year, as the Tuberculosis hos ptal is added to the list of institutions to be visited. It is hoped that out of the abundance of flowers flourishlng in the citys gardens every sick room will be lavishly adorned. Flowers may be left with the sexton of the First Methodist church Tuesday at any hour before o clock.

Large Corporations Beneficial

We are getting to be a suspicious pcople-lacking in faith in each other, and in our form of government This is especially true in relation to large corporations.
 The truth 1t, it does not matter how largo railroad corporation may be, if it is properly and lawfully man aged and operated. If all our railways were united-as from Buda Pesth, or if all were operated as our postal system is--no harm would follow by reason of the immensity of such an organization. Bad or corrupt management is wrong in principle and injurious to the peo- pie in large or small companies.
 Cooperation and concentration of utilities are advantageous. Does not 10000 springs form as many rivulets? In turn do they not form brooks, creeks and rivers? Do they not all concentrate their unutilized energies in old ocean for the common good of all? ]?
 If the railroads of our country were forced into their several chartered units. as the private corporation, known as the Standard oil company was prop erly disunited by our supreme court, rates for personal and property trans portation would have to be much great CT than now or dividends would be so triflng that railway operation would not be profitable to the stockholder: therefore. the railroads would have to be reorganized If so, then the values and, savings of thousands of our peo- pie would be partially or wholly swept away by the action of law, and the dis aster to our citizens would be far greater than by reason of the floods we have just had to devastate our river and lowlands of the Mississippi valley.
 If the uncontrollable disasters have moved the hearts of the sympathetic, should not patriotism move the minds of our intelligent citizens and lead them to protest against any course that would entail loss and suffering by req son of legislation? Would not the les sening of values retard further de- velopment by deterring investors in new enterprises?
 Competition is always a struggles war in some form or it would not be competition. War is destructive-not constructive It always requires coop. eration to repair and rebuild the ray ages of war or competition. Co-opera- ton in it's essence is aid.
