~ ERGEANT YORK conquered New

IN ERGEANT YORK conquered New
- York with less effort and as few
words as ne employed in kill
ing twenty-five Germans and
capturing 1872 others. II hain't no
talker," insisted the ed-headed hill
snan from Tennessee at the Winter
Garden last Monday night when he
swss enjoying, or rather enduring, the
last hours of his five-day furlough.
Half dozen men and a couple of
saluring Salvation Army girls were
pleading with this combination Stone
wall Jackson and St. Anthony to leave
his box and appeal for dough for
doughnuts from the stage.
mo, l jest WON'T he vowed, as a
member of the Alvin c. York recep-
ton committee of the New York So
.cety of Tennessee leaned over his
chair. patted him on the back and ex-
planned that he could lure thousands
Of dollars from the pockets of the au-
dience simply by standing up and say
ing that the Salvation Army had proved
itself worthy Of support.
=. NO" York closed his jaws on the
word. The expression around his eyes
aided the others in the box to under
stand better the motives or that Ger
man major who surrendered to York
in the Argonne sector near Chatel-
Chehery on October s, and then
pleaded: Don't shoot any more and
III make them surrender The Ger
man battalion commander by them"
meant practically his entire force of
machine gunners who we're being
,potted by York, one by one, first with
his rifle and then with AS automatic
Colt. York was squatting in the
tangled growth of the forest. The
Germans were using machine guns and
missing. York was hitting his targets.
When York says no he means no.
But ne is not unreasonable. So he
hnally stood up in the box and bowed
10 the audience. Men and women
cheered him almost Historically. He
bowed again, from the hips and
earnestly
Sidney Jarvis. one of the principals
Y Monte Cristo, Jr.," who was max
ing an appeal for funds for the Saliva
ton Army, walked across the stage
toward the box where York's head
and shoulders lowered above his COM
psnions. God bless you, Sergeant
York;" shouted the actor and tina,
'semed to stir something in the people
who were watching, and they rose tc
their feet and faced the awkward ap
pearing hero in touching effort tt
snow him some of the respect they
sielt for his prowess, his patriotism
and himself Then the lights went ou-
ana the curtain up. The Salvation
army baskets were so weighted will
CONS the girls almost staggered a.
they carried them off for the "coun
up"
When York sat down the press agen
<'l the theatre was at his elbow will
an invitation that would stir to en-
'nusiasm any number of generals ant
'snd into gibbering fits of Joy an.

Eyes
"FrOnf''

His eyes were front" and as the
sergeant is several inches more than
six feet tall in his shoes, it is to be
supposed that the five feet two of the
chorus girl and her French heels did
not bring even the top of her head
within the focus of the keen eyes of the
hillman. All about them surged shirt
sleeved scene Shutters and members of
the company taking on startling out
lines as now and again one of them
passed from the darkness of this
jungle of stacked scenery into the

flock of Germans, but surrendered
Internationally to me. What?"
York didn't reply, but one hand
slipped behind him and took a firm
clutch on a prop supporting that side
OF the set. He might have been torn
loose with stump puller, but it
would have uprooted the scene. Jo-
sephine went on without him and Ser
geant York abandoned his hold and
Dr. James T. King, chairman of the
tennessee Society reception commit
tee, recognizing signal flashed from
the sergeant's eyes, suggested that the
party would return to their box.

there wasn't any. A silken remnant
that was all, and it stood out in 6
succession of marcel waves 80 that Il
interfered with the slender wearer's
elbows and with her knees not at all
Sergeant York looked once, gave 6
downward tug at the bottom of his
coat and assumed the position Of 6
soldier-"attention."

METHODISTS SHOULD
GATHER new ZEAL
Centenary an inspiration Says
Or. Fisher.

Dr.. Fred Fisher of New York, who
has been assistant executive secre-
tary of the Methodist Centenary
drive, has turned his entire organiza-
tion to the job of mobilizing Method
ism in Columbus, June 20 to July 13.
In outlining the campaign he has
placed before $1,000 committeeman of
the Methodist Church. he says: I'VE
must stress four things. First, this
will be a big Victory Celebration.
The Methodists of the United States
have lived more in the past year than
istence. Now is the time for them
to get together and celebrate their
victory.
In the second place. this is an op-
portunity for Methodists to have Wis
ualized the scenes and activities OF
which they have been talking for the
past year. but OF which they have no
personal knowledge Of these $4,000
men. only a negligible per cent has
ever had the opportunity of going
abroad. At the celebration they can
get the trip around the world at their
convenience.
Third, this is the time to finish
the job to gather inspiration and liz
formation to enable the organized
workers in the church to carry out
the program which has been mapped
out for the next four years.
Fourth, and most important Of all
il the Celebration realizes the ideals
which those who are back of it hold
it must be the inspiration for plan
ming work for the next century. As
we look upon the marvels that have
! been accomplished we should gather
! new faith and new zeal for enter
| prises that can be measured only IL
| terms of another century. We must
in a word, weld ourselves together in
a great spiritual purpose to strike
| the bulls eye"
! DR. Fisher indicated that $50 train
| ed executives. in addition to the 7S,
| 600 volunteer workers. will stimulate
! interest in the Centenary Celebration
during the next six weeks.
Monroe City Democrat., 1919-06-27

According to the opinion of the
State Highway Board, there will be
between $3O,OOO.OOO and $4O,OOO.-
600 of bonds voted before the close
of the year by various counties and
special road districts for hard-sur,
faced highways 1t looks like every
county in the state and every road
district that is without good high
ways, will have submitted bond
propositions within the next few
months. In every instance where
these propositions have been sub.
mitted this year they have been
overwhelmingly adopted

Courtesy.

Treating a customer like a rich
uncle, so that you may extract his
coin. is not courtesy-that's fore
sight.
Offering a seat to a man who en-
tiers your Office is not courtesy
that's duty.
Listening to the grumblines,
growing and groanings of a bore
without remonstance is not courte-
sy-that's forbearance.
Helping pretty girl across the
street, holding her umbrella, car
ryine her poodle-none of these
is courtesy. The first two are a
pleasure. and the last is polite
ness.
Courtesy is doing that which
nothing under the sun makes you
do but human kindness. Courtesy
springs from the heart; if the mind
prompts the action there is a
reason; if there be reason. it is not
courtesy; for courtesy has ne
reason. Courtesy is good will and
good will is prompted by the heart
full of love to be kind.
Only the generous man is truly
courteous-he gives freely with
out a thought of receiving any,
thing in return. The generous
man has developed kindness to
such an extent that he considers
everyone as good as himself-and
treat others not as he should like
to be treated (for generosity asks
nothing) but as he ought to be
treated.

Insurance Raise Defeated.

The lat fire insurance companies
doing business in Missouri lost their
suit in the supreme court for a writ
of mandamus against the superin-
tendent of insurance to compel that
official TO grant them fiat 10 per
cent increase in rates
The companies filed their applica-
ton for the increase with the Insur-
ance Department a year ago last
spring. 1t was denied by the depart
ment. The companies sought by
mandamus proceedings in the cir
cult court to compel the commits
sioner to grant the rate. The lower
court found in favor of the COM
panies. Attorney General McAllister
appealed to the Supreme Court. He
contended the companies. in effect,
were trying to have the court fix
rates for them at a greately increas-
ed figures above the ruling of the
Insurance Department. and that
this was beyond the jurisdiction Of
the court.
The Supreme Court sustains this
view, and, in effect dismisses the en-
tire proceedings,
The attorney general estimated
that the increase that the companies
were seeking would amount to near
ly 100000 a year.
