ivory Mats.

There are but three mats of ivory
in existence. The largest one meas.
Eres s by feet; and, although made
IN the north of India, has Greek de-
sign for n border. It is used only on
state occasions, like the signing Of i'm
pectant state documents. The cost of
this precious mat was almost incalcul-
able, for more than G,40O pounds of
pure ivory were used in it's construc'
ton. Only the finest and most flexi-
BILE strips Of the material could be
used and the mat Is like the finest WOW

ABOUT BURLESON's RATES
City Attorney b. l.. Guffy has re-
ceived the following letter from the
Missouri Public Service Commission:

jefferson City, May 13.-The Post
masterGeneral first undertook to es-
tablish a schedule of interstate toll
rates wherein the charges were in
excess Of those approved by this Com
mission. In suit instituted By this
Commission, the officers and agents
of the Bell Telephone Company were
permanently enjoined from putting
these new rates into effect. The
Bell Company took an appeal to the
Supreme Court of this state, where
the cause is now pending. the in
junction being in force pending the
final decision
The Postmaster-Ge General then gave
notice of raise in the rates for the
monthly rental of Bell phones in use
at certain of their local exchanges
within this state, including those in
use in your city, and at the same
time secured a temporary order re-
straining this Commission from inter-
fering in any way with the enforce
ment of the Postmaster-Gene Or
der making such raises. The matter
was heard by three Federal Judges in
Kansas City, on May s, 1919, and
this restraining order was dissolved,
the court refusing to grant them even
a temporary injunction, From this
ruling the Postmaster-General will
take an appeal,
The power and authority Of the
Postmaster-General in relation TO
these matters will, it is hoped, be fin
ally construed and defined in opin-
ions soon TO be handed down by the
United States Supreme Court, the
causes having been advanced upon
the docket and heard May 5th.
The Bell Company agreed to ac-
cept the old rates as a partial paw
ment pending the handing down of
these opinions. If the United States
Supreme Court finds against the Post
master-General in these cases, then
any payments so made will be in full
II, on the other hand, this court up-
holds his contentious, you may, at
some later date, be compelled to pay
the difference between those rates
now in force and those which the
Postmaster-General seeks to put in
force Yours very truly,

General Counsel

Probably the Writer who most fire.
quently refused money was Robert
Browning the poet. During the last
% years of his life editors offered
large sums for short poem from his
pen. But Browning said "No." He
told his friends when they pointed out
the unw!sdom of this course that he
was determined not to thrust his po-
ems down the threats Of the people
that if they wanted to read them they
could buy his books.

APPOINTED
FOR Triton BROKER

Triton, Ga, February 26.-B. Y.
Wallace was today appointed receiver
for Frank Scarboro, broker of this
city, on the petition of the Western
Union Telegraph company. Scarboro
left here for New York on February
Is and has not been heard from since
The petition of the telegraph COM
pany, on account of $236.26, charges
that Scarboro "has absconded and is
insolvent," and charges that his Ii
abilities exceed his assets by approx
mately $4,000.
Scarboro was formerly secretary of
the Triton Packing company. The
financial committee of that company
announced today that it had made
good $4,000 discrepancy in the &C

Article XIX

To those colonies and territories which
as q consequence OF the late war nave
ceased to be under the sovereignty OF the
states which formerly governed them and
which are inhabited by peoples not yet
able to stand by themselves under the
strenuous conditions Of the modern world,
there should be applied the principle that
the wellbeinH and development of such
peoples form a sacred trust Of civilization
and that securities for the performance
of this trust should be embodied in the
constitution of the league. .n
The best method of giving practical eff
feet to this principle Is that the tutelage
of such peoples should be entrusted to
advanced nations who by reason of their
resources, their experience or their
geographical position, can best undertake
this responsibility, and that this tutelage
should be exercised By e6em as manda-
tory on behalf of the league.
Certain communities formerly belonging
to the Turkish empire have reached q
stage of development which their exist
ence as Independent nations can be pro-
visionally recognized subject to the rem
dering of administrative advice and ass
sistance by mandatory power until such
time as they are able to stand alone. The
wishes of these communities must be
principal consideration in the selection OF
the mandatory power.
There are territories, such as southwest
Africa and certain Of the south Pacific
isles, which, owing to the sparseness of
their population, or their small size, or
their remoteness from the centers of
civilization. or their geographical continu-
ity to the mandatory state, and other cir
cumstances, can be best administered I'M
der the laws of the mandatory state as
integral portions thereof, subject to the
safeguards above mentioned, in the inter-
aSts Of the INDIGENOUS population.

THE CAUSE OF UNREST

There has been such spirit of un-
rest pervading the entire world as
theer is today. Uncertainty is stamp
ed on everything. While an effort
is being made-to hold cotton against
lower prices, the textile operatives
down the industries that consume cot
ton. Labor is being paid higher
wages than has ever ben known, but
labor is human land human nature
is never satisfied. The cause of this
unrest is, Divine methods have been
cast aside for human methods. Uni
versal Brotherhood has been preach
ed instead of Christian Brotherhood,
and Social ethics have ben taught in
stead of Spiritual Regeneration.-La-
Grange Graphic.
