To Our
Returning Heroes
BY Clarence Douglas Moore.

These are the ones that bore our ban
ner hence
Heroic men of everlasting fame,
Who fought for freedom through the
And terrible as Dark Gehenna's flame.
We hail their coming, and with wild
acclaim
Declare them soldiers crowned with
valor great,
Who need not words to magnify their
name;
But yet my soul in eagernesS nus
The part of noble men whose deeds
we elevate.
They went from homes where love with
passion dear
AS Heaven knows held them by ties
of steel; -
They babe farewell to all, and saw the
OF tenderness that saddened souls
When gloom the s~earchings Of the
49 heart doth seal
They stood before the Hunnish shot
with courage stern and h~eaven-in-
And won for selves and country glory's
spell
That shall not fade, but on with time
shall swell.
Against a foe by coolest kultur trained
To british action. cruelty refined
They went. and by their prowess gained
For freedom fair her basis in the
mind
Of after years; they broke the chains
The base together, and for. Liberty
In Gods eternal plan Of life, they
signed,
In sacred blood, mankind's undying
plea,
for Democracy.
These are the ones--our boys we love
Our honored sons that left their all
And fight Gods battle in these trying
days,
To make his purpose in his kingdom
glow
with living triumph as they struck
his blow.
These are the ones we welcome, as
they come
With martial air. yet tread fatigued
and slow
From service hard; and now our hearts
are dumb
To half express their love in cheers or
beating drum.
Their share was glorious, and Time
shall make
1t grow in glory. Stricken France
shall pride
Their effort through the years; her
pulse shall quake
With sweet emotion strong for these
Their arms beneath, and helped her
from the tide
OF German wrath. Old England staunch
and proud
Shall bear their names with hers,
as side by side;
And Belgium, too, with them shall cry
They came in Gods good time to lift
the pail and shroud."
All, War, we hate thee for they evil
Val
Throughout thy life; we hate thy
cruel call!
We hate thee, for thou hast nor sou
nor heart,
And s~preadest thy red mantle over
And vet from us some grateful words
That thou hast saved the men we laud
today
The martial cup of bitterness and
gall.
To dear ones kissed goodbye they may
repay
The anxious love and prayer that KEEP
them while away.
These are the ones we owe best rev
erence-
Our best OF gift and favor, for they
For us their best-life offered in de-

fought to save
The sinking world from Sins un
And now methinks when they shall asl
for place,
Their plea above the politicians wav,
Shall sound; and Ger the factions trac'
R~esplendently shall glow the merit o
their race.
All, yes, we welcome them, and NEE
Of word,
Our hearts well up to see their form

Once more their voices in their HON

New Victory Loan Offers to
Workers Best Investment
With Security.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 9.--The United
States department of labor did not have
the Victory loan in mind when it wrote
n of its slogans to the millions Of
workers, but it could not possibly have
written two sentences that more di-
rectly pointed to it than the follow
ing:
SAVE MORE-Make sure that in a
few years from now you will nave the
reward Of the extra hard work you are
doing today! Save YOU excess wages"
There is no organization anywhere
that Is in more direct touch with labor
or that has its welfare more at heart
than the department of labor. Conse-
quently it's advice is worth needing.
Make sure that in a few years from
now you will have the reward Of the
extra hard work you are doing today!'

Local Men Skeptical.

Cotton men of Memphis and of other
cities where cotton exchanges are
maintained, and where cotton is dealt
in extensively are inclined to be skepti-
cal as to the probable benefits of the
plan either to growers or dealers. They
know that the cotton export business
has been highly organized fer nearly a
century, and believe that the methods of
financing the export cotton business
are so well settled that no change is
necessary, However, they are ready
to hear Gov, Harding's plans with open
minds.
After the addresses by Gov. Harding
and Senator owen, the convention is
to be thrown open for general discus
sion. Senator Owen has given much
consideration to the changes In the
banking and export and exchange bust
ness caused by the readjustment Of
business growing out Of the world war.
He is chairman of the senate commit
tee on banking and currency.

ton exchange, will welcome the visitors

growers and dealers, bankers and bust
ness men of the cotton growing states
regarding the plan put forth some time
ago for the formation Of a great cot
ton export organization to finance and
handle shipments Of cotton abroad with
the backing of the war finance cor
poration.
Gov, R. G. Pleasant, of Louisiana,

duction organization, which was formed
in New Orleans in February, will pre-
side. The convention will be held at
the Goodwin institute, win be called

Gov. Harding and Senator Owen be-
lieve that arrangements can be made
by the organization which they pro-
pose to have formed, for securing funds
from the war finance corporation,
which has a sum amounting to about
a billion dollars at its disposal for fl
nancing foreign exports, They argue
that by this means exports of cotton
may be facilitated and the portion of
the crop exported be more readily sold.

Investments for Worker.

But the average toller knows little
about securities. He might by chance
ed upon his own judgment Of private,
municipal or industrial securities. There
Is a security, however, backed by the
United States government, which will
be placed on the market April 81, that
Is worth dollar for dollar and will pay
a larger interest than the largest finan-
cial institution in the country can af-
ford to pay.
That security is the Victory loan! BY
subscribing for as many of the Vic
tory loan notes the laborer not only Is
making the best possible investment for
himself but he is being patriotic at the
same time. He is helping toward
bringing back the men from France
and assisting In reimbursement Of indus
trial conditions in the United States.

1t can not be driven home too thor
oughly. 1t furnished too great food
for thought for that. 1t contains the
essence of advice that has been given
by labor leaders n thoughtful men
throughout the country. 1t contains the
advice that every man must lay by for
a rainy day when the worker has no
work or can not work. 1t is the adj
vice to the young man to save while
he is young because he will be unable
to do so when he is old. 1t Is advice
to all to say SO that the wife, the
mother, the children will have food
and clothing when work Is scarce. 1t
Is each one and all of these.
Save your excess wages!"
How? There are many ways of saw
ing the funds that are not absolutely
necessary to feed well and clothe COM

ties that are, in fact, securities.

WHOLE UNIVERSE
IS GONE "DIPPY"
OVER DIAMONDS
Price Jumps From 500 to $500
a Carat; Farmers Are
Biggest Buyers.

New York, Nov. 9.-The world
has gone mad over precious stones.
Diamonds that sold at 500 a carat
five years ago are selling now at
$500.
Gems are moving from market to
market in a volume never before
known and the demand is increas-
ing daily. People that never before
INDUCED in such jewelry are buying
with an eagerness that mounting
prices do not dampen. Countries
that were hardest hit by the war are
taking their places in the forefront
of the gem buyers. Countries that
have been additionally indifferent
are now enthusiastic purchasers.
Authority for these statements
was found today among the princi-
pal importers of New York. De-
mands upon them, it was said, were
steadily increasing in insistence, but
fulfllment is as steadily becoming
more difficult. ..
Farmers Buy Many.
Some extraordinary details were
come upon in the course of the in
quiry. -..
Workmen and farmers in the
United States are buying large
quantities of diamonds, and dia-
monds of the first quality. The in
crease in this country is almost en-
tirely confined to this class, Partly
this is due to high wages and high
prices for products during the war;
partly it is due to a desire for fnery
that still has an absolute invest
ment value.
The fact of the situation, how
ever, is to be found in demand in
the cities that is about normal,
while from the industrial centers
and the agricultural districts of the
middle west and the west retailers
are buying and buying in an effort
to keep their stocks up.
U. 5. No Longer Main Market.
Until six months ago the United
States was buying more precious
stones than all the rest of the world
put together. 1t was taking, to be
specific, IS per cent of the cut and
uncut gems that came into the mar
ket. Now the tide has set in
against this country, and while the
percentage is still more than half,
it is falling, and another year may
see the situation entirely changed.
Six nations chiefly are response
Bile for this change-Germany, Rus
STA, Turkey, India, China and Japan.
Germany, Russia and Turkey are
buying because currency in those
lands has deprecated so heavily
and because securities have suffered
in keeping with currency.

JUNGLE JOE" FOR
RETURN OF DAYS
OF REAL COURTIN'
Would Mean Safe and Sane
Marriages. He Says. in Dis
cussing Marital Relations.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Here's
classic from ex-Speaker Cannon,
who always gets an audience
whether in the cloakroom, on the
floor, or at his favorite hang out,
the National Press club. Mr.. Can
non was discussing modern mar
riage the other day. He said;
"The young fellow of today
doesn't know what counting means,
In the old days a young man would
walk 10 miles through the rain or
snow, freeze his ears and fingers,
and face the danger of wildcats to
see his, girl. And when he did see
her it was in the general living
room, with the rest of the family
present. The man who courted IN
those conditions knew what COURT
ing was. And ! may say that such
conditions were the rule and not the
exception.
Long Tramps Through Snow.
"The young fellows would start
out Sunday afternoon. 1t might be
too cold or the snow too deep to
take horse, but in that case they
went on foot. They faced hard
ships to see their sweethearts, as
did the knights of old to rescue fair
maids from castle holds. And when
such a youngster Won his girl he
kept her, too.
divorce was not the popular pas
time then that it is now. These
couples stuck through thick and
thin, obeying the scriptural injunc-
ton. that what God hath joined tc-
gether no man shall put asunder.
No Marriages of Convenience.
"There were no marriages of con-
venience and mighty few hasty mar
riages in those days. The young
folks knew each other before they
were welded, and the young man
knew his brides people and all
about them. There was less chance
for mistake.
"A1l the counting was on Sunday
night, and it was a ceremony rellg-
iously observed. The swain re-
manned at his sweetheart's home
until after midnight, even thou8n the
rest of the family sat up with him.
When he went home through the
storm or in the bright starlight he
walked the earth as conqueror,
for he had been in the presence that
to him represented the real poem
of life.
Then They Will Stick"
He had been counting, and that
is all we need in these days to bring
back safe and sane ideas of mar
riage-courting-courting in the
true sense of the word-the man
seeking, if not serving like Jacob,
seven years for the object of his af-
fections. Then he will stick to he-
and she to him through life.
Some of the old fashions have
never been improved upon, and one
of them is the old fashioned court
ing"

The Northern Pecan is rated by
government reports as the mos,
valuable in food value OF the edible
nut family. This nut has a peculiarly
sweet favor and will retain its
freshness if kept in a cool place
much longer than any other nut.
The Pecans that we offer are
fresh picked, full meated and sweet
and about one-half in price you can
buy the Southern Pecan for.
Many people are now cracking
these fine nuts for culinary pur-
poses and saving about $l.50 a
pound on the nut meats over the
retail prices. When this is done
place the nut meats in a glass jar
and seal tight; they will then keep
for months;
When nuts are received place
them in dry, cool place for a few
days and the kernels will become
firm and solid.

Legislative Committee Con-

Calling Special
Session.
p. A. Barrows,

Lincoln, Nov. o.-(Special. THE
legislative committee appointed to
investigate calling a special session
Of the legislature to pass laws to
punish prohteering are considering
five propositions.
While the meeting here last Fri
day did not develop any sentiment
favorable to an extra session, the
committee is of the opinion that the
proposition is still live one and
one in which the cost of the session
should not enter.
The last special session cost the
state little over $4,000. Taking
the populatio Of the state as shown
in the last census, this would mean
less than | cent per capita of the
population of the state This would
mean that the average family, if the
cost could be divided equally, would
pay about cents toward the ex-
pense of an extra session lasting five
days. If the session could devise a
law which would cover the PROPOSE
ton this amount might be saved in
the purchase of dozen eggs, peck
of potatoes, or even one good sized
apple.
Consider Five Plans.
The propositions which are being
considered by the committee are:
Legislative encouragement of CO.
operative buying and selling to re-
duce the needless middlen1an."
Prohibition of the storage of
foodstuffs longer than a set period"
"a state price commission to make
public the margins taken in the ham
ding of goods"
"A requirement that goods from
the producer to the consumer be
marked with the cost price at every
stage Of the game"
Gan amendment to the state anti
trust law making it illegal for big
dealers to partition the state into
