Wedding Ring With Romantic
History.

Norton, Va, Aug. 1G.-As the
workmcn tear out the limestone slabs
that form the curbing on Park Avenue
there comes to mind story of the
romance of Il wedding.
When John jenkins was uuarryint,
this stone down in Lee county near
Roschill, many years ago, his little
son Sam was with him, and he had
IN his possession lady's wedding
ring, which he found in Norton.
The boy lost i'm there i'm the uuarrv.
After fruitlcss search he gave up
trying to find it, returned to Norton
and forgot it.
In the course of events the ring
was found by Il farmer of Roschill.
Prices for produce went down and
the Farmer began to look around for
more lucrative work. In his search
he came to Dorchester and became 81
miner.
The farmer turned miner still had
the ring with him, and one day il
occurred to him to advertise it. He
did so, giving the initial, and at
length received an interesting in
quiry from Il Norton lady, who re-
cognlzed the ring as her own as soon
as she saw it,
After sixtcn years the ring was
slipped back on her finger.
The lady VISA Mrs. s. N Taylor, Il
cousin Of the little boy who had found
It and lost it in the quarry. From
Norton to Roschill, from there to tho
mines of Dorchester the ring had
wandered for sixteen years until il
came back home, and Mrs. Taylor
still wears the ring with history.

salaries.
We say double and we mean what
we say. Little piddling advances will
not suffice. We might as well face
the fact that these salaries must be
actually doubled, and the commune
ties that get and keep the best OF
teachers and preachers will be those
that have the grit and grace to act
first in this matter. And these. too
will be the neighborhoods which will
most easily attract settlers and la,
borers and renters, and where land
values will advance most.
In every part Of the South, our
farmers are better able to support
church and school than ever before
Yet, as Il matter of fact, the average
farmer is not giving as much support
of these agencies, if rcckoned in guam
ties Of tobacco, cotton, peanuts, on
pork, rs he gave ten years ago. We
could easily double our present con.
tributions and not feel it, so small
is the percentage of total earnings
that we now spend for school and
church.-Progressiv Farmer.

The Cross of Crnssns

Each life must have it's crosses.
And a soldier has his share.
From Il trip across the ocean,
10 the cnvicd Croix dc Gucrre.
There are crosses by the censor
Far too many, so it seems,
There are crosses in the letters
From the sweetheart Of his dreams
There's cross that's worn by heroc.
who have faced the storm of lead
Ihere's the cross when he is wounded
There's the cross when he is dead.
There's an iron cross awarded
For murder and for rape;
us the emblem of the devil
It's the cross Of sin and hate.
There's the little cross Of Mercy
That very few may own,
For the soldier it is second
To the Cross of God alone.
It's the cross that's worn by women
When we see it we believe
We can recognize an Angel

NOTHING NEW AT THE CIRCUS.

Reports from the big circus ut
Bluefield, are to the effect that "there
was nothing new, about the same as
seen years ago" The consensurs of
opinion, among the older people, was
that the present day circus is not
better than that of years ago. Per-
haps not, and yet no circus perfor-
nance ever equalled that which we
witnessed as boys. If we could forget
the circus we knew in the years Of
our fresh, young lives we would no
doubt have different opinion of the
modern exhibitions. The young peo-
pie of this day may find us much
pleasure and as many thrills as we
older ones did in by-gone days. The
crowds that flock to see the circus
now when it comes to town would
seem to indicate that the exhibitions
have lost little of their popularity.
What is "Old" to the men and women
is new to the boys, girls and child
rem of this generation. The life and
well being of the show business de-
ponds upon the men and young gene
rations who do not know they are to
"humbugged."
There is little or nothing "new"
for the reason that the field of aero
battles. horseman-ship ct cetera, has
long ago about reached the limit of
its development.

THE MORAL AND LEAGAL
PROFITEERS.

"The merchant, farmer or seller
of any thing has the right to sell at
profit. He is not profiteer if he
is within the limit allowed by law
Legally he has the right to whatever
of profit his goods command in open
market. He should not be branded as
n profitecr" This statement was
made by reader of this paper, Il
few days ago, in a conversation on the
high prices now prevailing There are
two sides to every question. This one
is no exception--the legal and the
moral question, of right.
Has tradesman right to an cx-
orbitant profit just because the law
permits an cXorbitant profit. If Il
farmer can raise wheat for less than
1926, or meat 70 less than $1,000, or
apples for less than $l.25 a bushcl,
or publish paper for less than 81 so
and all the way down, has he the
moral right, as an honest man, TO
demand these prices? Opinions will
differ.
The government fixed the price Of
wheat at 1926, price unhcard of
before, in order to induce farmers to
grow great crops Flour went at
once to $l4.00 and over. Necessarily,
the wages of labor Increased.
Flour is the ruler of the market
Corn followed the jump. Farm ma
chinery, fertilizer, everything follow
ed, for the reason that meat and
bread, the nescssarics of life for the
workers everywhere in all depart
ments demanded higher salary In
order TO buy high priced living
These are true if trite, statements.
What then is the conclusion? 1t
seems to be this. The high cost Of
living is traceablc directly back to
the act of the war department, which
put the price Of wheat at the price
of S2.2G, corn meat, shoeS-cvcry-
thing followed the upward trend. "If
| have to pay these high prices for
bread and meat then must ncccs-
sarily have more money for what
do or make. The farmer says he can.
not make cheap meat and bread be-
cause of increased prices of farm
implements, labor etc. etc But these
things were not increased in price
until after the government fixed the
price of bread, the staff of life. If
the farmers WILL or could, sell wheat
at $1.50 or less, the price of corn
and meat will come down, and no
doubt everything else. Is this logical
reasoning? Is it true or not true,
that the high cost of living is trace
able back to the bins and granarics
of the farm-thc source of all liv-
ing?
1t looks now, rs though the guar
antee of the high price of the staff
of life, was n most unfortunate cost
ly and revolutionary necessity.
What can Congress do toward re.
ducing the cost of living? Not much.
How on earth can the manufacturer,
laborcr, mechanic, or what not, pro-
duce cheaper stuff so long rs flour
is $14.00, meal $500 meat 40 cents?
1t just can't be did.

pulsed his friends Of humanity IN
thismanner. No matter what the OBJ
ject, he was always too busy to lis.
ten to their claims. He had even told
his minister that he was too busy for
anything but to make money.
But one morning disagreeabie
stranger stepped very softly to his
side, laying u cold, moist hand upon
his brow, and saying: GO home with
mel"
The merchant laid down his pen
his head grew dizzy; his stomach felt
faint and sick; he left the counting
room, went home, and retired to his
bedchambcr. His unwelcomc visitor
had followed him and now took his
place by the bedside, whispering evel
and anon. "You much 90 home with
me-"
A cold chill settled over the mer'
chants heart; spectars of ships
notes, houses lands fitted before hi:
excited mind. Still his pulse beat
slower; his heart heavcd heavily
thick films gathered over his eyes
his tongue refused to speak. Their
tht merchant knew that the name Of
his visitor was Death.
Humanity, mercy, and religion hat
alike begged his influence, means, ant
attention in vain; but when deatl
came he was powerless; ut last hC

Vienna, May 10th.-The |deathknell of
old Austria was sounded in Parliament
yesterday, when Chancellor Renner in
accepting the nomination as a peace del
egate to go to St. German, said he re-
inQuished all hopes for a fusion with
Germany. His speech was made while
the impression caused by the allies terms
to Germany was still strong. The feel.
ing in the Chamber, according to one
speaker. was that it would be madness
to unite with a nation subject to such
measures. The Austrian people must
suffer for the misdeeds OF their rulers.
the Chancellor said. We never wanted
the war, and we were not guilty Of
bringing it about. | will DO my best to
Genre better terms for ourselves. The
address was delivered within a stones
throw of the Foreign Office. in Ball
Platz, where the first ministry of the
war was set into motion five years ago,
and moved many of the Chancellor's
hearers co tears. A few socialists de
manded that no delegates be sent, but
there was no attempt at revolt or BoIshe-

Berlin, May 10Th ermany's reply
to the terms OF peace presented at Yer

ing TO the German people issued here
today by President Ebert. The procla-
nation says the treaty would deliver
German labOur to foreign capitalism for
the indignity Of wage slavery and perma-
nently fetter the you lg German republic".
The proclamation closes with an appeal to
the German people 20 stand together
knowing no parties and to preserve
with the Government mutual trust in
the triumph of reason and right. The
text OF the proclamation follows: The
first reply of the allies to the sincere
desire for peace on the part of our
starving people was the laying down
of the uncommonly hard armistica con
ditions. The German people having
laid down its arms honestly observed
all the obligations Of the armistice,
hard as they were. Notwithstanding
this our opponents for six months have
continued the war by maintaining the
blockade. The German people bore all
the burdens trusting il the promise Civ

sons -four teen points. Instead of that
the allies have now given us peace
terms which are in contradiction o
the promise given. 1t is unbearable

Violence without measure would be done
to the German people. From such an inn
posed peace fresh hatred would be bound
to arise between the nations and in the

wars. The world be obliged to bury every
