 England

Private R. F. Hill of the S34th aero squadron has returned after eight months service overseas, and is receiv-
 ing a cordial welcome from his many
 friends in this district. Private Hill

 City, from where he embarked for over-
 seas in April. 1918.
 ''Our division was stopped in Eng
 land,' said the young soldier, and we
 never got any further, although we
 were all so anxious to get into the
 scrap with the Huns. When I enlisted I had visions of myself flying over the German lines and dropping bombs on
 them, but the commanding officer soon learned I had been accustomed to office work and put me in his office. where
 remained until discharged
 "It certainly was tough to have to stay in the office and work when you wanted to go to the front and shoulder gun or fly over tho enemy lines and drop a few reminders. However, when an order would come to the airplane factory where the men in my division were WorKlnS to snip a numDer ol planes over to France we would double cur efforts and work from early morn l ing until late at night to send these machines to be used by the aviators of | the allied armies.

IT AM going to write several A letters to you-in which 1 will tell you some things that l know you are interest ed in.
 You and I agree, 1 am sure, that life is very much easier for us if you can keep happy. We all surely understand that our greatest happiness comes when we allow our hearts to lead us-when we tdo as much for others, if not more, than we do for our selves.
 We all know, in our home life, for instance, that hap piness flies out of the win , dow if all the members of the family are not harmoni- ous.
 We all know that quarrels, bi k ering or misunder- standings in our family or social circles do not get us anywhere, so far as the joy of living is concerned. On the other hand, life is very rosy indeed if we are thoughtful and kind to one another in the family circle, and if we are considerate of the feelings of all others with whom we come in per- sonal contact.
 1 have always believed that our business life should be as happy as our home and social life.
 II have never been able to understand why so many ot us change our natures when we go to our offices or stores or shops.
 Why should we keep out of our daily toll those elements that give us so much pleas ure away from our work?
 All my life I have believed that every man and woman engaged with us in making our b usin ess successful
 should be treated by us with
 as much courtesy and kind.

THREE-M|LL TAX
 REVISION BILL IS
 PASSEDbY HOUSE
Revises Old Law AuthOriZ- ing Warrants on Tax Levy Without Increas-
 ing Taxes

Montgomery, February u.-(Speciall The house of representatives, without dissenting vote, Tuesday passed the sen ate bill of Carmichael of Colbert, which revises to the law governing counties and districts that issue the so-called threc-mill tax for school purposes. The attention of Dickson of Jefferson, au- thor of a similar house bill, was called to the enactment by the senate of the Carmichael bill, and the house then took up for consideration the senate bill in order to expedite its passage and the day it will become effective.
 The bill is entitled: "An act to pro vide for elections to authorize any coun- ties in the state to levy and collect snecial county tax for public school pur- pores not to exceed 30 cents on each s0o of taxable property in such county; to authorize any school district, in any county that may be levying special coun- ty taxes for school purposes or not less than 30 cents on each $100 worth of tax able property in such county to levy special district tax for school purposes not to exceed 30 cents on each Sloo worth of taxable property in such school dis trio+ and to authorize boards of educa- +ion to issue interest bearing warrants to erect. repair and equip school buildings and to otherwise improve school facll- ities.''
 DICKSON EXPLAINS
 Explaining the bill, Dickson of Jeff ferson said it would not create aoul- tional taxes, but that it would reVlse the law that now authorizes the lssu- ance of warrants on the 3-mlll tax levy for school purposes. The old law, ha said. would be clarified, provision for maps, showing the school districts in each county. being made in the new law. Tn the past, it was explained there has resulted some confusion be- cause there was no way of telling the boundary lines for the various school districts. and that 1t was impossible for one district to cooperate with an- other in this educational matter Of lowing extra taxes Under the new law. he said, two districts may coop crate and vote an additional tax of 70 cents on each $100 of taxable property. this being in addition to the special tax of the county.
 Representative Benners, who first did not favor the bill, spoke for It Tuesday. He said he had given the matter careful study, and that, after coming to the conclusion it was mer- itorious measure, he owed his col league. Mir. Dickson, an explanation of what he had concluded after the first opposition.
 Huey of Jefferson wanted the bill to have the perusal of the special educa- tion committee which will sit during the recess. He later withdrew the mo- ~tion to have action deferred. Orr of Marshall spoke for the bill.

DEAR FOLKS

that would un- fold to you and to me the human side of their business. They have told me Avery often that you would not be interested in the personal side of their business; hnd have always answered them that you would, becaus' E you are very human and arel very keen about knowing whether the workers of the world are getting as much out of life as they should-and that yous' would be won to the support ;, and qualification of the busi- { ness that had the heart and 4 impulse to make it's workers ], happy. .' I knew that some day, some where, I would meet a BIG i, MAN who conducts his ! business on the heart plan, whose associate-workers and \ himself get out of life a full ! measure of happiness, and a man who would be willing to let me tell you all about it. | At last 1 have found THE | MAN and THE BUSINESS, that I am going to tell you1 about in this series of letters. He directs a very big busi- ness whose receipts average daily more than one and a quarter million dollars.
 What a great thing it is for us to hold fast to our faithsI believing that some day we will meet our IDEAL. y| This man and I met in al peculiar way. We had never known each other be- l fore personally, but we had ] known of one another's l work.
 He read one of my TALKSt| which I write daily for the ! New York Evening Mail and he liked the HEART in 1 it. While he was in New 1 York one day several weeks ago I was introduced to himN and he questioned me a great deal about my views as to the human side of busiJ, ness.
 He did not laugh at me aa others have done in days gone by.
 He listened very attentively and sympathetically. He told me that I was rightA in my beliefs.
 He told me that he also bed lieved, as sincerely as I do,A that life is worth while onlyI if one can so live it as to give1 the greatest service to thel greatest number.
 The upshot of our meeting
 was that l was invited to gol through his plant in Chicago ito mingle with his workers
 and to find out for myselfl
 whether the ideals that l.
 have been writing and talk-
 ing about for so many years1
 existed there; and if I did find that they existed; then.
 he would give me free reign
 to write what I pleased and
 to print what I wrote in the1
 daily newspapers of the
 country. | l r
