Immovable Since 1914.

The Meuse-Argonne front had been

1914. and. except for minor fluctuations
during the German attacks on verdun
in 1916 and the French counter often
sive in August. 1917 remained un-
changed until the American advance In
1918. The net result of the four years
struggle on this ground was a German
defensive system of unusual depth and
strength and wide zone of utter dew

offensive operations.
The strategical Importance OF this
portion Of the line WAS second to

THE MILLS AND THE COTTON.

1t was predicted years ago that eventually the
mills would "cOme to the cOtton,' and this well
founded expectation was one of the bows of pro-
mise in the clouds that helped the South through
the long uphill Development of it's industries that
followed its unsuccessful war for self determine
ton and political Independence. 1t was fore
seen that cotton goods could be manufactured
more cheaply in the near neighborhood of the
cotton fields than in far New England and grad
ua1ly achievement followed hope. The mills are
now rapidly going to the cotton, as appears from
figures recently published showing that the
growth of the textile industry in the South since
1899 as compared with the rate of growth in
Massachusetts,. The number of spindles operated
IN Massachusetts in 1899 was 7,784, $50 against
11,312,816 in 1918. In the South the number of
spindles was but 3,791,654 in 1899, but in 1918
the number had risen to 10, 0S3, O72, Massachuse-
It's increasing As per cent and the South 245 per
cent.
The Springfield Republican takes a philoso-
phlcal view Of the transfer Of a great industry
now so rapidly in progress. ''While these mills
are constructed in the South,' it says, "they rep
resent a considerable Investment of northern CAPT.
tai. There is, from the stockholders point of
view, less a sectional conflict in interest than a
conflict between competing mills" That is the
best way to look at it, for nature itself is on the
side of the South in this matter, and the time
must come when it will be practically impossible
for mills a thousand miles away to compete sue
c~essfully with mills in the midst of the cotton
fields.

Inc SIX months courtesy campaign under
taken in Springfield, Mass, through the initia-
tive of the chamber of commerce is, accorring to
the Republican Of that city, "a challenge to ex-
hlblt daily examples Of our good breeding." The
Republican says the campaign should be taken
seriously because there is more truth than hu-
NOR in the poster which reminds us that it costs
nothing to be polite,' adding: A that is needed
is a little effort to be thoughtful of others. With
some the effort may be unusual, but the feeling
OF self-consciousness will vanish with the forma-
ton O fthe habit" The editor concludes with the
promise that success ia the effort will give Spring
field IAN enviable and unique reputation"
The self-absorbed may smile in derision, but
it remains true that such worthy effort is needed
widely, for there are few urban populations whose
manners could not be improved. It is impossible
to legislate good manners into the public, lett
alone morals as some reformers seem to believe,
but II representative citizens will voluntarily and
cultivate courtesy in all relations the
example would be followed wiedly enough to give
a city distinction among its neighbours, with even
commercial gains to follow. Travellers have.
noticed a difference il this particular betweenl
American towns and sections and remember the
places where they have found a more or less cour-
teous people. As q rule good manners in public
are lacking in proportion to a towns bigness and
the volume of its hu1rying business, but there is
no good reason why courtesy should be snuffed.

song and story, Llewelyn is veritabie
King Arthur, and his brother, David,
the traitorous Modred of his court.
L4lewelyn incurred the displeasure
of Edward l, who had been invested
by his father Henry III, with all the
English royal claims in Wales, by
casting his lot with the famous Mon
fort family. and perpetrated what was
considered direct affront when he an
nounced his betrothal to Eleanor de
Monfort. Moreover he declined TO at
tend the coronation Of Edward. With
in two years after that coronation
just five hundred years before the
American Declaration of Indepen-
dence was signed-Edward concluded
a vigorous campaign in Wales with the
treaty of Conway by which Llewelyn
had TO sign away most of his privi-
leges.
For five years Wales was quiet.
Then David who had aided the Eng
lish king against his brother, headed
a revolt against English rule. set a
torch to Hawarden Castle, and pre-
cipitated a war in which Llewelyn
was killed.
There was an ancient prophecy that
the Prince of Wales would be crowned
in London. In mockery of that. it is
believed, Edward had Llewelyn's head
brought to London and wreathed in
ivy to show the people.

ORIGIN OF "PRiNcE OF WALES

In connection with the visit to
America of the Prince of Wales, the
national geographic society has issued
from its Washington headquarters. a
bulletin relating how the British
crown prince acquired that title and
also the origin of his famous insignia

The story of the title, the bulletin
says, dates back to the days of Lew

No less romantic is the story OF the

the feathers and the pledge. 1t is said
that he stumbled over the body of the

TWO WORKS Of ART
PAINTED ON WALLS
OF CHOCOLATE SHOP

The Chocolate Shop has been the
means of adding two works of real
art to the small collection harbored
in Phoenix. When it was decided 10
open new and up-to-d date confec-
ti0nery in Phoenix, l.. c. TAYLOR of
the Taylor point house was consulted
as to the decorative scheme. He i'm
mediately recommended placing on the
walls two paintings by Charles Peter
Book, noted artist of Chicago This
plan was followed out and after sew
eral weeks of work Mr. Book his fin
ished his labors and turned over for
the delight of Phoenix two Of the fin
est oil paintings ever seen here. Mr..
Book has been working under the au-
pices of the Taylor paint house and
Mr.. Taylor believes that his house has
started decided innovation in intro
ducing real art in interior decorative
| schemes.
It was Mr.. Book who painted storm
| Swept Solitudes," a picture which
created a furore when exhibited in
Chicago. 1t has since been exhibited
in different parts of the country and
has attracted wide and favorable at
| tention. A large number of his pic
lures have been hung in eastern ex-
| hibits.
The two scenes painted for the Choc-
olate Shop are eastern pastoral stud
les, and have been called works of
merit by those who have seen them.
Mr.. Book has been a student at the
Chicago Art Institute and an instruc-
tor at the Acadamy of Fine Arts Of
that place. He has enjoyed wide
reputation as creator of landscapes.
This is not his first attempt at decor
ating. He has to his credit the paint
ing of some of the finest decorative
studies in Chicago. Mr.. Book was the
decorator for the. Standard Club Of
Chicago, and numerous other public
| places.
Following his attendance at the Chi
cago school. Mr.. Book went to Europe
where he travelled through Italy and
France for some time He attended
the Academy of La Grande Chaumire
at Paris, and won honors with pic
lures which we're exhibited there.
The Taylor paint house is planning
on making decorative art one of its
lines of endeavor, having retained Mr..
Books services.
In the opinion Of those who are
acquainted with the artists work both
here and in the east, Phoenix is in
deed fortunate in being able to have
an artist of Mr.. Books ability take
up his work here.

Petersburg Paper Tells of Visit
 of Wransellites

Last Saturday night the citizens of Petersburg were agreeably sur prised when between 30 and 10 residents of Wrangell, both men and women, came over on the Ha- gel B No. }, and attended the dance being gwen by the Dancing Club. Dancing was started at nine, but on account of the fog the Wrangell visitors did not arrive until nearly eleven o'clock. The dance contin. ued until nearly three o'clock on Sunday morning and the visitors enjoyed themselves to the limit. MT. O'Neil of Wrangell brought his banIo with him and assisted greatly with the music, his instru- ment being a decided addition to the local orchestra. George La Bounty of Wrangell took charge of the floor during a large part of the evening and demonstrated his abil- ity to keep the crowd in good spirits. Report.
