China is one OF the richest for ex-
ploitatlon. How she shall be preserved
snd strengthened is one Of the problems
for the League Of Nations which is
about 10 be.
Foreign investments and foreign man
agement TO build UP her industrial
strength, must be fair. Fairness Will
be assured only under the guidance OF
world power.
With between three and four hun
dred million Inhabitants. China has not
more than 300 Industries using power
In less than a thousand OF the business
concerns OF the country are there en-
ployed more than 100 persons.
National and provincial governments
have started many OF the industries
existing and some still remain under
government control. while others have
been transferred TO private ownership.
Cotton mills, iron works, engineer

Business Change

Another business change in
town this week - F. S, Brown
has purchased the interest of
j. E. Wildman in the Roy Garage
and will again be in personal
charge of that big institution
which he created. This with his
building and extensive farming
he plans to do this summer, his
live stock interests, his prospec-
tive office Of Mayor Of Roy, and
his large land holdings together
with his social, civic, and politi-
cal activities ought to keep him
fairly busy this season. Fred is
earning the titleof "The MeAdoo
of Roy.
And it is said he is learning to
knit so he can occupy his spare
time.

THE VOLUNTEER

1t is true that when you left US
There was no parade or band,
And no crowd of grateful
citizens
Were there to hold your hand.
The things you miss are just
because
Oh! neglected volunteer,
When you heard your country
calling
You promptly answered here.
We know you need no urging
You possessed the finer ear,
That hears the call of duty
And is deaf to that of fear.
While glory marched before you
And honor held your hand
How could we know that you
had missed,
The banquet and the band.
And would it help, | wonder
If you could surely know
That loyal hearts are with you
Wherever you may go?
That while you follow duty
To some far and lonely place
Some eyes are wet with tears
for you
That never saw your face.
And when your work is over
For God and native land.
(. You shall not miss the greeting
The Banquet nor band.

Snow Storm

The snow storm Of last week
is variously recorded from 3 to
3 l-2 inches of water. 1t came in
an ideal manner to do all the
good possible for the surviving
wheat and started the grass
growing like summer showers,
The mud was a problam, and
transportation was almost suspend
ed for few days but no one
complained much, Following the
dry long winter and the damag-
ing winds Of the past few weeks
the mud was a welcome relief.

Docs New Soda Fountain


DIR. M. D. Gibbs has the new
Soda Fountaie installed in his
Fairview Pharmacy, and thus
completes the equipment of the
finest little drug store in this part
of the state.
The new fountain is a pretty
thing and is SO constructed that
many customers may be served
at once by one attendant and
several attendants can work at
once if necessary.
The bar and front are of polish
ed marble and the rear of polish
ed oak and beveled glass.
You can take your out of town
friends in for a treat now and
seem to be in large city while
there. The refreshments served
at the new fountain are as fine
the equipm ent is.

If the state is paying out for
tunes on fraudulent bonds, fake
interest coupons and such things
1t is no wonder that the taxpay-
ers are complaining Of the size of
the tax levies. 1t can also be
understood that the valuations
for the purpose of taxation must
be all the property will stand,
and as much more as can be
made to stick. The railroads
have been valued at more than
their properties are worth, and
the figures Of the government,
prove it against us. Live stock
Is assessed at about all the mar
ket will stand, anG that after the
grower pays the freight to mar
ket, while other classes of pro-
perty loudly complain. The
state officials should at least give
the relief possible by stopping
unwarranted payments and col
lecting the amounts already paid
out.

The Roy Election

The rumor having become cur
rent that we are trying to put
through the bond issue at the
coming election in order to sell to
the city a franchise we think it
no more than right and just to
say to the citizens that the mat
ter is absurd to say the least.
The franchise in question was
taken a number of years ago and
its existance ceased pne year
from date, account Of our not
having complied with require
ments as to the beginning of
work within one year. The origi-
nal copy has been lost and it is
now to late to secure a copy be-
fore election to show that it is
dead and in fact does not exist.
We respectfully submit to you
our affidavit that the franchise
is null and void and that we will
in no way connect ourselves
with franchise selling PROPOSE
ton to the city of Roy or any
others.

many guests from being present
Most of the men in town and a

friendly intercourse.
The Mesdames, F. A. Roy, O.,

as they could not return from
Clayton in time. Mrs. c. l..
Wensell, Misses Erma Russell

ing the luncheon which was very
daintily prepared and served for
company Of Mere men,.
The object of the Social, aside
from the sentiment expressed in
the invitations was to give the
men a chance to meet in social
way as the ladies have been do
ing each week to have a chance
to leave silver offering for the
Red Cross, at the same time.
Ehe offering was very generous
and the ladies appreciate this as
well as the vote of appreciation
taken before leaving.

the "4-minute Men" a chance to
practice. Rev. Hearn, Conserya-
