TELEPHONE COMPANY
TAKES BIG SLICE OF
THE LIBERTY LOAN

Atlanta, Ca, May 2l.-Atlanta's al
lotment OF $l0,000,000 of the Liberty
Loan bond issue, has already been
taken, if the government should count
the Southern Bell Telephone COM
pany's subscription for $5,00O,0OO
worth and its announc cement that en-
ployees of the company will take an
other $5000,000, making a total Of
$l0,000O00 accounted for by this one
corporation alone.
Of course Atlanta will take her
share, and the people in the entire
Federal Reserve district of Atlanta
will take their share. On basis Of
the wealth of the district in proper
ton to the wealth of the nation as a
whole, the Atlanta district should
take $80,000;000 worth of the bonds,
and already the reserve bank here,
which is acting as the principal dis
tributing agent of the bonds, has sub
scriptions in sight amounting to near
ly $65,000,0OO
Every individual is urged not only
to purchase Liberty Loan, bonds to
the limit of his or her financial means,
but to constitute himself a salesman
for the bonds.

PASSING OF JUDGE GOODWIN

By the death of Judge C. C. Good
win, which occurred at his home
in Salt Lake last Saturday afternoon.
the west has lost one of it's great
men. While his death will be mourn
ed by men in all walks of life. the
members of the newspaper frater-
nifty throughout the inter-mountain
region will feel more keenly his de-
parture than any except his immedi-
ate family. Judge Goodwin was
recognized as one Of the ablest ed
1torial writer's of the nation. and his
writings have been copied far and
wide. A number of years ago, a
noted literary man 1--WE cannot now
recall his name) was asked to name
whom he considered the three great
est editorial writer's that this nation
had produced. The gentleman named
Charles Dana, Col Henry Watterson
and Judge Goodwin.
While handling all questions,
whether of local, state or national
interest in a mastery manner, it
was when called upon to pay tribute
to the memory of some friend of his
in the early days of California and
Nevada, that Judge Goodwin was
able to paint word pictures that we're
literary gems. His efforts on these
occasions were of such a character
that no man could ada to or take
from a word or phrase that would
improve them. His eulogy on James
G. Blaine, at the time of the latter's
death, was one of Goodwin's master
pieces. 1t was re-published by all
the leading journals of the nation.
The older people of the west will
remember the fight he made against
polygamy while editor OF the Salt
Lake Tribune, and also against
some of the other early day teach
ings of the Mormon church. But az.
ter conditions for which he fought
were brought about, none were
quicker than Judge Goodwin to &C.
cept the new order OF things and for.
get the past.
Judge Goodwin was generous to
fault. In fact his generosity KEEP
him poor in purse, for we have heard
related of him that on more than on,
occasion he gave practically his las
dollar to old Nevada or Californi,
miners, with whom he had been as
ISOLATED in the early days, and VIII,
dropped into Salt Lake broke.
For children he always had a kin,
word and a pleasant smile, and it /
said that there were but few children
in Salt Lake but what knew Judg
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1917-08-31

Goodwin, and always had a kindly
greeting for him.
He lived to the ripe old age OF IS
years. and but few men have lived
who possessed the true friendship
of so many of his fellow men.
Remembering the part he took in
the political and social strife OF
Utah in the years past, 1t Is indeed
pleasing to read the tribute paid
him by one of those with whom he
took issue in those days. We there
fore reproduce what the Deseret
News said Of him in its issue Of last
Monday:
with the death of Judge c. G..
Goodwin, western journalism loses its
best known and most picturesque
figure. For more than a half a CEN
fury he has welded pen of power,
and his work won him following
as devoted as ever accepted guidance
from an editorial sanctum. His writ
ing bore the stamp of that individ-
uality which is becoming all too
rare in latter-day newspaper work !;
and upon subjects that attracted his
thought and study, he discoursed
with fine accuracy and fervid elo-
auence. The English language con-
tains nothing more beautiful than
some of the tributes which he indited
upon the passing of a friend to the
other shore; and his discussions on
the silver question, in which the
Great West has been and is so Wit
ally concerned, are unquestionably
the most searching and authorata-
tive on record. In these two lines
of journalistic endeavor he was un-
surpassed. But his range OF thought
was worldwide; and to any subject
to which he gave attention, he brot
keenness of analysis and cour-
age and vigor of expression that COM
manded respect even though at times
they may have failed of unanimous
approval.
1t would be a petty and spiteful
soul that should seek to bring to
Judge Goodwin's bier the unhappy
memories of time when this com
munity was bitterly divided on issues
that have happily disappeared. The
News is glad that he lived to see the
complete restoration OF good feellng
and credits him with having done
much to bring it about. We believe
he was sincerely grateful for the
change, and generous and whole
souled in accepting it, for he was 9
manly man-sturdy and courageous
as an enemy, but warm-hearted ant
broad minded when the time fol
friendship came. II such charac
ter is bound to make foes 1t also hal
the wonderful power to disarm then
when the cause of. the quarrel nj
longer exists. This was Judge Good
win. Hence, among the multitude
who mourn his departure, none ar
more poignantly touched than man,
OF those against whom he once stoo'
in sharp antagonism.
He has lived to an unusual age
and has had career in all respect
remarkable He has fought life
battle brilliantly and bravely, ant
has gone to a veterans we'll earne,
repose. Peaceful be his rest!"

FARMERS ASK HARRIS TO
CALL AN EXTRA SESSION

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 16.-That the
tremendous leakage of liquor into the

tic prohibition bills has created Sc
rious farm labor situation in the ru-
raj districts was the argument used
IN favor of an extra session of the

chant. M. D. Jefferson, warehouse
man; John Written, farmer; c. ID.
Davenport, farmer; ]. F. Dewberry,
farmer; Julian Smith, farmer; G. G.

Tkey told the governor that the
prohibition laws were redeeming farm
labor and resulting in a wonderful
Improvement of general conditions in
the rural districts, until the i law per-
hitting express agents to collect
fee for each package of whiskey de-
livered by them resulted in a very
large and noticeable increase in ship
lntnts.
They told the governor Of the case
of a negro and his wife and six child
.ren, who went to the express office at
Acvorth and each one got package
OF liquor, Notwithstanding the fact
that the children were minors. =.
They laid special stress on the fact
that the large exodus of negroes to
IN rthern cities has made it all the
more, necessary to be able to rely on
the negroes who are left in the coun-
try, and they declared that the loss to
the farmers through farm labor rem
dered shiftless and, unreliable. by il
quor would be many Pines the cost OF

The opinion is growing in Atlanta
thar Governor Harris now looks with
a great deal of favor on an extra ses-

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Weil-knOwn Local Druggists Says
Everybody is Using Old-Time Re.
cipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
oil when it fades, turns gray, dull and
Efeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made up
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attrac-
tive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of 9TH
er ingredients by asking at any drug
store for 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth' 3
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair so naturally, so en-
enly, that nobody can possibly tell it
has been applied. You just dampen
@ sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but
what delights the ladies. with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that,
! besides beautifully darkening the
hair after few applications. 1t also
brings back the gloss and Slustre- and
gives it an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite

rearance to the hair. 1t is not in

prevention of disease. advt
