Two Truck Line
Now Assured

Regular daily service between
Augusta and Highland is assured IS
a result of the consolidation of the
Staunton Monterey Automobile
Transfer Co. and a new corporatiol
recently formed in the mountain
county. The merger was officially
decided on at meeting held IN
Staunton last nigh.
The idea is to acquire a two ton
truck to be operated in conjunction
with the one already owned by the
old company. One car will leave
each terminal eyerv day. regular
service in both directions thus Icing
provided. The two truck arrange
ment will relieve much of the
freight congestion heretofore ex-
pe,ienced, and at the same time it
will add greatly to the convenience
of passengers.
The stockholders are firmly con-
WINGED that the Staunton Monterey
line is an economic necessity that
can be made to pay divideu DIS, and
they plan tomake even greater en-
largements to the service. 1t is

WHY TWO BROTHERS FOUGHT
The Story of Roy and Jim, Told by
Police Judge.

Two brothers were arrested last
night for fighting and disturbing the
peace of a neighborhood This morn
ing they were brought up for trial in
police court.
Roy" said Judge Edwards" you
are fined s. and costs, and Jim, you
are free
AS they left the Judge shook his
head Its too bad that brothers have
to fight" he said. They should be
as thick as the blood that is in them
But it was Roy's fault and | really
don't blame Jim
"Why% asked the reporter, and this
is the story that the judge told.
The boys father deserted their
mother and a large family of small
children about five years ago. 1t was
I'D to the boys to support the family,
as they were the oldest Jim did
work and helped his mother and the
little ones all he could. But Roy was
lazy, sullen and would not work. He
was older than Jim and he nagged
him, bounded him for money which he
never paid back.
Jim stood it for his mothers sake
for a year and then he went to Tex
as. While there he sent money home
every week This year he worke1
north with the harvests and being
near here he decided to come home
and see his mother. Roy had not
changed in the three years Jim had
been away. He drank, he had been
up in the police court, he still loafed
and lived off his mother.
Instead of greeting his brother with
open arms, he started to abusing him
as soon as Jim arrived. Jim was
older now and he stood it about ten
minutes; then as ne said, he "lit into
him" Then the police came and ar
rested them.

CHAU7HUOUA Il MIGHTY
FORCE IN NA1NERICANLIFE

1880 of these tent meetings held, 800
more than during the previous year
which leaves one guessing at the
probable number in 1920.
The Chautauqua does not wait for
an audience to come to It; it only
waits for the season. When the air
is steaming and business is slack
when there is really nothing to do
| but watch the corn grow-the Chau-
J tauqua comes along with its seduction
1t takes itself into the intimate life of
the people, pitches its tent. tunes it's
orchestra and begins business. The
next year the tent has to be enlarged
and the next and the next. But that
is not all that has enlarged-the out
look of the audience has been grow
ing. The Chautauqua is the great
feeder Of universities and colleges. In
some schools 10 per cent of the stu
dents owe their presence to its in
fluence. William Jennings Bryan
says, "a considerable part of progress
that is now being made along the
lines of moral and political reform is
traceable to the Chautauqua's influ-
ence"
The best talent of America has al
ways been available for these pro-
grams. Men will give their services
here as to no other work. Perhaps
it appeals to the highest type of
Americans because it is so purely
democratic institution and perhaps
because it is so very remunerative
Fourteen million dollars was paid out
in Chautauqua salaries last year,
which is very fair considering that
Chautauquas always come at the dull
season" when other business is dead.

MISSOURIANS IN COLORADO
lO3 Students and Two Instructors
From Here Are at Boulder.

1
The University of Missouri is repre-
sented this summer at the Universe
ty of Colorado at Boulder by 1O3 stu
| dents and two instructors. OF the
| students, who are more numerou:
from this school than any other which
is represented, there are alumni
former and present students. DR.
Charles A. Ellwood. professor Of
sociology, who was in England on
leave of absence last year, has charge
of the sociology course, and DR.. G
S. Dodds. assistant professor of ZOO
lOgy. teaches zoology.
That the Missouri students are TAX
ing an important place in the fun at
the school was shown i'm the account
in the COlumbine, the weekly paper
of the University of Colorado, of an
outdoor festival held recently on the
lawn of the Law Building. Sam Hurst,
Jerome Twitchell and Francis Poin-
dexter, students of the regular ses-
sion, are given praise for their per-
formances.
ITO Sam Hurst, moving spirit of the
heavy end of the work, and Katherine
Edmonds, who proed to be a
faithful alley, goes the credit for
the pronounced success of the
venture so the account reads. THE
antics of Jerome Twitchell at the
piano amused ande delighted the
audience. Francis Poindexter, ac-
cOmpanied by Twitchell, held the
NOISY crowd spellbound with his
whistling imitation"
Doctor Ellwood has given a series
of lectures before the Boulder Chautau-
qua on the war, embodying, among
other things, his own observations in
England. The Daily Herald of Boul-
der refers to these as a remarkable
series of discussions on the war.
Doctor Ellwood writes to Prof. L.
l.. Bernard of the sociology department
that he has nineteen students from
the University of Missouri, out of a
total of sixty-eight who are taking
work under him. He also says that
he and his family will spend the rest
OF the summer after school in the
Colorado mountains and will return
to Columbia September 6.

NEW FIRE RATE FOR COLUMBIA.

Columbia's fight for lower fire in
surance rates practically has been
won. c. G. Revelle, state insurance
commissioner, has recommended that
Columbia be raised from the four-and-
a-half class to one higher. A few
minor changes in the fire fighting sys-
TEN will be necessary.
The change will mean many
thousands of dollars saved This i'm
provement in rates is due to the high
efficiency of the fire department in
preventing and fighting fires. For
thirty-eight days the motor truck was
idle. 1t was finally called out to kill
a blaze caused by an overheated
electric motor
This record is proof that Columbia
is not in the class of towns which
have only a volunteer department for
protection.
The prediction of the optimists a
few years ago that the money spent
for new fire apparatus would soon be
repaid in lower rates is about to come
true. Progress is cheapest.

tanned the support of the Polish pa
triots by promising that POLAND
should be restored. Faith in his
word made Poland recruiting ground
for his armies. Eighty thousand Of
them joined him.
But it availed naught. Napoleon
forgot their interests at the Treat,
of Tilset with the Car Alexander
July :, 1907. His imperial ambition:
would not permit him to clash with
the Car. Consequently. Russia re-
tanned its hold on large portion OF
Poland. Prussian Poland was organ
lied into the Grand Duchy of Warsaw
Even this semblance of union was
lost when Napoleon was defeated in
the Russian campaign of 1S12-13. And
at the Congress of Vienna in 1915
definite boundaries were given to the
possessions of Russia, Prussia and
Austria in Poland The Poles were
told to give up all hope of independ-
ence. Poland as an independent ma
ton was officially erased from tie
map of Europe.
In the revolutionary year of 1880 the
Poles revolted, but the revolt was put
down. Another unsuccessful effort
was made to shake off the Russian
and Prussian yoke in 1916, aud still
another in 1923. The last revolt was
barbarously quelled in 1864.
Spirit of People Never Broken.
The spirit of the Polish people,
however, has never been broken. AL
ways Polish patriots have allied
themselves with every movement for
liberty and independence. Kosciusko
and Pulawski are remembered for
their work in the American War for
Independence. Poles have participai-
ed in all other noteworthy strug-
giles for freedom.
Despite the policy of Russianizing
and Germanizing the Polish territory,
the Poles still retain their own Ian
guage and literature. Especially is
Galicia, the Austrian Poland, a cen
ter of Polish national feeling.
In the present war there are 600
600 Polish soldiers in the three op-
posing armies 100000 in the Austro-
German armies and 100000 in the
Russian armies. They are forced to
fight, friend against friend, brother
against brother.
If the present great European con-
fiict were the means of freeing these
downtrodden people, the sacrifices If
the war would be in a measure jus
titled. If the Kaiser should proclaim
the independence of Poland, he would
be in a measure vindicated

When Warsaw falls, Poland, one oil
the pawns of the present war, the bat
tleground of the east, will be in the
hands of the Germans. Some Prus-
sian-Polish papers recently received
by the London Times announce in ap-
parently inspired articles that the
German Emperor will make his en-
try into Warsaw the occasion for pro-
claiming a new independence of Po-
land.
The story of Poland is one OF the
saddest in history, sadder even than
that of Belgium. Early Polish his
tory is one of frequent divisions. re-
unions and invasions After the Mon
col hordes overran the country in
1240-l. Poland became weakened and
divided into many small principali-
ties
But in the Fourteenth Century the
country was reorganized by Ladislas
|. 1.-The father of his country. Then
Poland saw its best days. By the mid
die of the Eighteenth Century, how
ever. the land was again full of dis
sentions of all kinds. Owing to the
defects of the old constitution, the
country was in a condition of anarchy.
Catherine III Invades Poland.
Taking advantage of the weakness
of the Polish government, Catherine
II of Russia. disregarding the laws Of
nations and the rights of the Poles,
greatly extended her western boun-
Diary into Polish territory. With the
aid of Frederick the Great of Prussia
and Maria Theresa of Austria, Gather
inc effected what is called the first
partition of Poland. The treaty Sc
curing portions of the Living flesh OF
Poland" to these three rulers was
signed at St. Petersburg, August 3,
1772.
In 1871 Poland adopted new con-
stitution under which the state would
have prospered if it had been given
the chance. But Catherine. still wish

ly invaded the country with an over
whelming army Poland was conse-
quently partitioned second time,
July II, 1898.
Resenting this partitioning of their
country, the patriotic Poles rose un-

were defeated by the combined armies
of the Prussians and Russians. With
the rebellion quelled. what remained
of Poland was partitioned among the
