".SISHING YOU THE SAME"

The congress of Russian sOviets was so deeply toucned by President Wilson's message of sympathy that it replied thanking him kindly for his word and expressing the earnest hope that the time may soon come when this government may be overthrown and the United States enjoy the so- cialistic advantages now so conspic- uous in Russia.
 Those are not the exact words, but they are the substance of the answer of the congress. It is certainly a gem of unconscious humor. The German imperial heel is on the Bolshevik neck and the Bolsheviki have even ceased to protest. But they still insist that the happy time is near when the la boring masses in bourgeois countries will throw of the capitalistic yoke and establish a socialist state of so- ciety, which. is the only one capable of assuring a permanent and just peace and the culture and well-being of all who toil."
 We are just as grateful to the so- viets for their expression of good will as they are for the sympathy offered by the President. But the little sug- gestion that this country follow the shining course to the socialistic state now being trodden by the bolsheviki leaves us extremely cold. In the first place, we are not enamored of the so- cialist state, and in the next place the bolshevik course doesn't lead there. It leads to nothing but national hu- initiation and foreign dictation.-Chi- cago Herald.

Unless Mrs. Hatcher packs her shirtwaist and fits until election is over we see a warm time ahead for the erring lady. The lips that never touch liquor should also let nasty Alaskan politics alone, but trust Cornelia L. to make herself joke to Alaskans.

There is not the slightest doubt that the fixing of the price of wheat and . four has been most beneficial in that whereas the price is around five and one-half cents per pound for flour to- day it would be ten to twelve cents a pound but for regulation. But there does not seem to be the slightest ex- cuse for regulating the price of flour and refusing to regulate the price of substitutes. In most cases the substi-

AND HEAVY BUSINESS
Deposits in Union City Banks Resch
Million and a Half.

The bank statements this week
show the largest volume of business
ever done before in Union City.
The Old National and Third Ma

in this paper from the call of March

banks, are now carrying approx
mately deposits of $500. 900.
This is new higIf record for I'm
ion City, with the banking business
steadily climbing. This reflects
more than anything else the pros
porous conditions of he farming
and Industrial interests in the good
county of obion.
On Tuesday of this week the Old
National Bank had an aggregate of
deposits of $62s.OO0 and a volume
of business, including increased
earnings. of which the directors felt
the greatest pride.
The statement of the Third Ma
tional Bank shows an unprecedented
business, both very large loan and
deposit account and fiattering earn
ing increases ell along the line The
statements can be accepted as in
teresting reading matter.
In this connection it may as we'll
be stated that the Third National
Bank has for several months been
figuring on handsome new home,
a new building to occupy the site of
the present banking house. That is,
1t will be practically new. The con-
tract has been tentatively made, but
is not quite complete with. sigma
lures, etc, and the plans include
solid stone front, a floor lowered to
the level with the pavement and in
side marble work in unison. The
fixtures have not been selected, but
they will also be of the best ma
terial and design. A description of
the new building will soon be given.
