PRETTY LEGEND OF GARNETS
Apache Indians Believe Spirit Of
Chiefs Daughter lmparts Tails
manic Power to Stones.

There is garnet mine in Arizona so
rich in gems that the owners some
times say the whole mountain in which
1t Is located is mountain of garnets.
The Apache Indians, near whose reser-
walton the mountain stands, have
strange myth concerning the garnets.
One night centuries ago, they say, the
little daughter of great chief died.
AS her spirit passed out, the Indians
gathered about saw multitude OF
sparks fly up from the tepee and drift
ing through the air in a shining cloud
settle on the mountain side, where they
'shone like star dust. making the noun
tain bright Later, they declare, the
sparks which continued to shine, never
growing cold or dead, sank into the
earth and became garnets.
The Indians believe that the spirit
of the chiefs daughter still stands
guard over the mountain and imparts
to all the garnets found there tails
manic powers to bring good luck to all
who wear them. These garnets are
mined now and sold all over the cOun-
try in rings, necklaces and bracelets
for pale-face maids. Many of the gar
net rings are made in swastika design

who happen to buy one may be sure Of
prosperous fortune ever afterward.

her care of her aged mother who was
in her declining years.
In the fall of 1907, as their two
older boys were then ready for higher
school advantages, the family moved
to Maryville, Tenn, and the boys
entered Maryville college, from which
institution they later graduated, while
Mr.. Moore took up the work of col
lege proctor, which position he held
for eleven years. being compelled to
give up the work last August on ac-
count of the failing health of both
himself and Mrs. Moore.
In Maryville, as in every other
place in which she lived, Mrs. Moore
soon found her work in the church
and it's activities, and made her quiet
helpful influence felt for the Savior
she loved. There, too, for five years
more, she gave unstintingly of her
time and strength to the care of her
aged mother, until the mother was
taken to the heavenly home, in the
spring of 1912.
Being relieved of this loving ser
vice, Mr.. and Mrs. Moore soon found
work of a different kind. by taking
the care of the college hospital, into
which the family moved in the fall of
1914. For two years under the dl-
rection of trained nurse in charge,
| Mrs. Moore strove to minister to the
needs of the sick among the large
body of students; but the task proved
to be too great and her health failed
in he fall of 1916, and she was taken
to the hospital for treatment for
cancer.

At a memorial service In honor OF
Roosevelt at st. Nicholas church, New
York, which he attended as boy, the
pastor remarked that the dead mans
favorite hymn, from his childhood, was
"'How Firm Foundation" That, also,
was the favorite hymn of General Lee.
1t is notable that the same words ap-
pealed to these two men, whose fates
were so strangely different-the one
successful and triumphant practically
all his life, the other defeated soldier
and victim of many sorrows. Yet the

GETTING the Most Out Of Life.

With the growing mind the minutes
pass unnoticed. To the stirring soul
life is so full of action that the min
utes count only in the total of achieve
ment. For the man Of action there Is
no time for dragging hours. Every
minute has it's task, and all too fast
fly the hours-the minutes scarcely
have existence. 1t is different with
the laggard. He waits the passing
of time. And time waited for seldom
gratifies the loafer. To prove times
worth you have only to crowd the
minutes with worthwhile efforts and,
before you are ready for it, the gong
will ring. And every minute we'll spent

great pleasure of welcoming home

EXPLAINED ONLY BY THEORY
Origin of Band Called the Wedding
Ring Is Wrapped in the Deep
est obscurity.

Why is wedding ring? Why does
a man slip ring on the finger of the
woman who becomes his bride? Why
doesn't he give her bracelet or neck
lace, or a pair of earrings? Why is a
ring the universal symbol used at we'd
dings? And what is it a symbol of?
Ever stop to think about all this
Probably not. When you were ready
TO marry, you hustled off to the near
est jewelers. and bought ring for
your bride, and, as far as you were
concerned, that ended the matter.
The origin of the wedding ring is
wrapped in obscurity. A number of
theories have been advanced to ex-
plain it. One hanks back to ancient
Egypt. Before the time of minis and
coinage in Egypt, gold money was
made in the form Of ring, and the
fingers of a mans hands were his
most convenient bank. He wore his
money. When an enamOred swain
slipped one of these money rings on
his brides finger, he did it to SYM
bolize that he gave her not only him
self, but his fortune. He meant, in fact,
just what the modern bridegroom
means when he says in the ceremony
of the ring at the altar. with all my
worldly goods l thee endow."
The styles today are bands Of gold
or platinum, plain or engraved, for
wedding rings, and solitaire or cluster
rings of any kind Of gems, preferably
diamonds or pearls, for engagement
rings.

This is all rough figuring but it shows the possible
profit good tire can earn, and the extravaganza OF
poor tires.
A number of big concerns in this city are using
Gordon Tires on their commercial cars. They bought
the first Gordon because its guarantee insured against
loss. They keep on buying because Gordons average
a surplus mileage which is cutting down the cost OF
deliveries

never know what deliveries cost until you find the
cost per mile of tires
Let's figure it out.
Start with our guarantee of 5000 miles 10000
miles on small sizes Lots of tires guaranteed
for anything like 5000 miles, but we know that
Gordon Tires are good for that mileage anyway
The cost of tire divided by 5000 miles, gives max
imum mileage cost per tire-something under a cent
mile.
Then suppose a set of Gordon Tires runs for
eight, ten or fifteen thousand mes-which they are
doing right along.
On fleet of twenty-five commercial cars, that
would mean nearly half million extra miles of tire
service, worth approximately $4,000.

THRIFT ESSAY.

Following every war there comes q
period Of reconstruction. This con.
dition prevails even in the United
States at the present time. The
course which we take now will great
ly determine the part which we will
be able to take in the future. Wash
ington said Nothing but harmony,
honesty, industry and frugality are
necessary to make us a great and
happy nation" The United States
possesses every one Of these qualities
but frugality. Now we must seek
that.
First, let US be sure that we know
what we are seeking before we be-
gin our quest Frugality or thrift
means only good management. Sensi-
Bile management depends upon con-
sidering the needs Of yourself, your
family and your nation. not only at
the present but also for the future.
It is not only a mans duty to save
for himself but It is his patriotic
duty. Are you patriotic? Undoubted-
ly your answer will be in the affirma-
tive. Then how do you show it? Do
you sing the Star Spangied Banner
and display silk flags or are you a
real patriot who without much dis
play works for the good OF the nation?
BY saving you increase the capital OF
the nation and promote the thrift.
Saving promotes character; makes
e better citizen; increases the gen.
eral happiness.
The United States is wealthy ma
tion. It is, however, nation which
is known by the world as an extrava-
CANT nation. Although wages are
higher and opportunities are great
American people are not generally
individually classed as well-to-do with
the people OF other nations where op-
portunities are smaller. Money is
easily earned, and as readily spent.
Government census statistics show
that sixty-six Of every hundred per-
sons dying in this country have abso-
lutely no estate. OF every one hun
dred persons who reach the age OF
sixty.fve there are only three who
are not partly or wholly dependent
upon friends, relatives or charity for
food, clothing and shelter. This con-
ditfon is not the result Of anything
but extravaganza.
Tae future OF our nation depends
upon the boys and girls OF today. The
way they are taught to spend money
now is the way that they 'S1u always
spend it. It is impossible 10 succeed

ESSAY ON THRIFT.

Not only did the galfantry Of ou1
American soldiers help win this great
European War, but the thrift OF the
American people played one of the
most important parts.
It not only kept its own massive
ermy going, but it has helped to feed
and clothe thousands Of starving peo
pie in other countries.
Thrift among us was first begun
when our forefathefs first came to
America. for besides liberty this was
one OF the great causes Of immigra,
ton, as It didn't count for anything
in the countries OF bondage.
The thrift of our torefathers helped
them gain the great war with Eng
land, and so gave US our liberty and
freedom.

the nation. had his thriftograms for
the nation as we'll as for his personal

harmony, honesty, industry and fru.
galhy are necessary to make US a

task has been 80 great IN this great
war, and we have had to lend so
much money that thrift means great
deal more now.
We are being taught more about It
than ever before.

THE COMEBACK OF SILVER.

The advance in the price of silver bullion to
point where the silver dollar possesses value sub

While prices the world have advanced I'M

Mexico has kept pace with the advance that in
the markets of the world the silver dollar retains
substantially the same purchasing power because.
in our point OF view silver has gone upward in
price. though a Hindoo or Cinnamon might
press just opposite idea and say gold has gone
down.
BY this movement Of silver. countries a silver
basis should be able to profit enormously, since it
has been but recently that the dollar that al
most exactly balances gold dollar in bullion value

The situation also will have the effect Of enabling
those countries TO recoup some of the losses
tanned by them when their currency was deprecat-
ing in the markets of the world.
When in the campaign of 1895 this nation voted
against a silver basis the producers of silver felt
that that metal had received death blow. Their
dream of a government market their product
at s1.29 an ounce shattered and it believed
that the white metal would not again reach the
