TO THE FARMERS OF UNION
COUNTY

l am not going to give you any ad-
vice upon the subject of how to farm.
/ don't know how to farm, never did
and never will. l would not be afraid
to try if thought could succeed at
it. Knowing nothing about that
avocation, could not hope to succeed
l am not herein scolding the farmer;
he has, in the past, had a pretty hard
road; that he is now on the way to
vastly better financial condition, am
rejoiced to see. Long preyed upon,
and long held in bondage, the farmer
of the South is coming into his own.
But l am writing this to urge every
farmer, big, little, old, young, black
and white to purchase at least one
$50 Liberty Bond. You owe it to your
self to do this, and 1 an going to give
you one reason. There are many rea-
sons, but here is one that you cannot
answer: If Germany wins, you lose
/ mean by that that you may bid fare
well to high-priced farm products of
any and all descriptions. You see how
the great battle on the Western front
is affecting the price Of cotton. AS
Germany presses England back, cot
ton drops $25 a bale. If Germany
beats England to her knees, it will be
still worse. Your pocket, not to men
ton your patriotism, points the way
to you and urges you to buy Liberty
Bonds. No greater calamity could
come to the farmer Of the country
than to have England and France 90
down before the brutal Hun. Your
thirty-fve cent cotton will drop to
siX-cent cotton. There are many ways
to prove this, but | will be content
with having you remember that even
with England falling back, your cot

MONARCH PEOPLE BUY LIBERTY
BONDS

The people of Monarch Mills are in
vesting in Liberty Bonds in fine
fashion. Up to last night 27 individ-
uals had each bought $50 bond and
one of the officers of the mill had
bought a $500 bond. The canvass is
not yet over, and many others are con-
templating the purchase of bond
This speaks we'll for Monarch people,
and is the spirit that will whip the
kaiser and all his brutal war lords.
We understand that many at Lockhart,
Excelsior Knitting Mills and Buffalo
are making ivestments in Liberty
Bonds. We cannot praise too highly
this most worthy spirit that the peo-
pie in our mill villages are manifest
ing. We heartily believe that it will
not be great while before every sim
gle individual that purchases a bond
will be proud of his having done so;
and, if we mistake not, those who
neither went to the front nor bought
Liberty Bonds will be ashamed to own
that they did neither. You may rest
assured that all those selfish people
who, during the great upheavel, turned
the occasion into profit for themselves
and neglected to do one single thing
save fatten on the war, will find that
they are marked men-men who, in
the frey trial, showed dross and not
gold. A man who can and will not
purchase Liberty Bands should be
ashamed of his lack of patriotism.

Courtesy a Business Asset.

Courtesy is the life of trade. To be
sure you must have the goods, but
courtesy helps to sell them. A certain
big establishment has man whose
chief business is to meet people and
make them feel at home. He has q
pleasant post a shaft distance from
the door and it's his business to see
every one that comes in. He has a
handshake and smile for everybody.
When people come in that do not seem
to know where they want to 60 he
talks with them and learns their needs
and sees that they get in touch with
the proper clerks. The crowd buys
there because 1t is made to feel that
the store is interested In item. And
they pay less for the goods, too, be-
cause they buy in such large quanti-
ty that the store can afford to sell at
lower rates and still make money.
That's the reason it sells more furni-
ture, carpets and general furnishings
than all the other stores combined in
that town. Courtesy and service is the
watchword and they find there's money
In it.-Pennsylvania Grit.

Not DefenseIess.

The tale of little George Washington
and the cherry tree is of more than
dubious authority; but mother who
recently related 1t to her small son
learned that, If 1t Is to be used for
the edification of young Americans 1t
Is better, at least, served plain, with
no attempt at enhancement or empha-
sis. She had described young Georges
enthusiastic telling of the tree with his
new implement, and the fateful arrival
OF his father upon the scene. She pic
tured Augustine Washington as an ell
derby, stern and stately parent of the
old school, with cooked hat and cane.
She proceeded impressively:
but George could not tell lie. He
told the truth, even though his father
stood with the cane In his hand !"
But" said Jimmy breathlessly,
"George had the Ratchet. hadn't her.

WORTHY TO VEIL ROYALTY
Queen OF Siam the Possessor of Prob
ably Most Magnificent Garment
In the World.

The queen of Siam owns q toilet
article which is altogether calculated
to fill the hearts of all other ladies
Of the kingdom with ardent desire and
envy. For the queen Is the happy
possessor of a veil capable of beau
dfying her face most wonderfully.
This veil is delicate tissue of the
finest threads, but woven so as to
have some resistance.
Part of this three-meters-long veil
Is intended to conceal the face, while
the remainder flows down over the fig
ure and closely nestles to the body,
The veil, which falls over the back.
Is completely sown over with diamond
dust, while the part in front is less
busted, so as not to impair the face
and the organs of sense. The lowest
ends of the veil are covered with bril-
iants.
The tissue Of the veil Is SO prepared
as TO cause changes in color when ex-
posed to the air. No sooner has the
wearer stepped into the street than
the veil assumes delicate rosy hue,
which deepens and, rs it were, be-
comes animate the longer 1t remains
In the open. When the queen returns
TO her abode the hue passes away and
the veil turns pale and dead as be-
fore.
. The veil has been credited with pos
sessing the most wonderful powers.
For century it has been in the pos
session of the royal house of Siam,
and although constantly used and ex-
posed to all kinds Of influences of the
weather it has not lost anything of
Its texture and beauty.

Unlike his grandfather, who shield
ed himself behind his chancellor, the
former emperor of Germany, whose alb
lication was announced November .,
has always insisted upon making him
self the center of the debates in the
reichstag and among his people.
Born with lust for military life,
imbued with an obsession of arms, he
was IA vain theatrical youth, consumed
with desire to leap into the center
of things and win for Germany and
himself a martial glory with full stage
effect. His one great desire has been
TO emulate the example of Frederick
the Great, his ancestor, and carry
glory before him with drawn sword
The kaiser is Il man of rapid inn
pulses, and these often came near in
volving Germany in serious difficult
ties. His dream of world domination
plunged the world into war in 1911
tary engine of destruction, of which
he was the embodiment. the exponent
and the leader, rests the responsibility
of deliberately planning and bringing
about the greatest conflict the world
has ever seen.
1t did not matter to the world that
the emperor's share in the swift evenrs
Immediately preceding the war had
been obScured. The world convicted
him of organizing, directing and main
tanning at the top notch of efficiency
the great German military machine. 1t
will be remembered that he signed the
order Tor the German mobilization, and
he stood sponsor for the terrorism and
brigandage which, under the guise of
warfare, ravished Belgium, laid waste
the cities of France, depopulated and
devastated Servia and sank the Lusi-
tania with the freight of women and
children to grave in the Atlantic.
