Former Fremont
County Boy HOnOred

Chauncey o. Mulock, a fromer Fre-
mont county boy, it has just come to
the attention of The Daily Record.
was one of the heroes of the military
service with the United States army
in France during the late war with
Germany. He is the second son of
Parker Mulock. former well known
cattleman of this county, and was
born on Badger creek. near Howard.
He is now living at Chico, Cal, and
the Enterprise of that place, in its IS
sue of July 81, contains the following
account of his heroism and its rec.
ognition by the War Department at
Washington. 1t says:
"An honor certificate was received
yesterday by Sergt. Chauncey o.
air park, and son of Mrs. C. E. Mu-
lock, 4211 Humboldt avenue,
"Mulock was wounded in a German
air raid at Ligny and has not en-
tnrely recovered from his injuries,
which were received while attempting
to save the lives of his comrades. The
story of MuIock's heroism is as fol-
follows:
About 7:15 p. m. October 81. 1918.
Sergt Chauncy o. MuIock, out with
salvage crew. was making his bed
on the floor of his truck which had
stopped for the night about 200 yards
fro mthe Y. NJ. C. A. at Ligny, when
he heard a sound that he recognized
as the uneven hum of an enemy plane
Instantly it come to him the "Y"
should be notified. for he could see its
lights shining unshaded Unmindful
of himself. and knowing that seconds
counted fast at such a time. he ran
at top speed. and reaching the "Y''
shouted: y

warning

few seconds seven bombs had fallen
somewhere up there among the stars
and the Hun was on his way to report
'The mission was successful"
'' Not man was killed, but so were
found to be wounded and Chauncey
was one of them. A piece of shrapnel
had torn a deep. ragged hole through
the muscle of his right arm, just above
the elbow. Two other pieces had
struck him in the back. piercing his
clothes and bruising him. but not tear
ing the flesh noticeably. He received
first aid treatment at once. was taken
back in the salvage truck to Colon

Let Europe Go to Work.
From the Montgomery Advertiser.

1t is time to state an unpleasant fact bluntly
it is time for Europe to go to work and
stop depending upon America for charity. We
have, Notwithstanding our energy and indus
try in America, come upon hard times and
disordered conditions. Not the least Of the
America is the idleness and lack of purpose
and industry in certain European countries
which have learned to look to America for
food and clothes and which seem disposed
to continue that state of dependence.
We are moved to speak of certain people
OF Europe in this manner because some of
the American relief workers are reproaching
the people of the United States for not en-
tering the league of nations and for not doing
their duty by people more needy than they.
OF all the unjust indictments drawn against
an entire people this, when we come to con-
slider it, is amazng-that America is selfish
and hard-hearted in her relations to those peo-
pie for whom she has made such sacrifices.
And, this we know, people will go hungry
on southern farms and plantations and gloom
will sit at the hearthstone of unnumbered
thousands in the south, the great agricultural
section OF the country. Unnumbered thous-
ands of industrious American business men
will grow harrassed with care to raise the
money which has been so lavishly spent in
Europe. If we are to restore America as the
treasure house of the world if we are to make
it again the granary of the world, we must
be given the time and the opportunity to our
work and to be frugal as we'll as industrious.
Help Europe-we have done nothing ex-
cept help Europe for the last six years. Now
let Europe help America by going to work,
as America has never ceased to work. Let
Europe help America by working to earn the
money to pay for what America has in the
past given so freely.

PRECIOUS GENIUS.

A twelve-year old boy has been admitted to
Columbia college. He is considered the pre-
cocious marvel of the age. But what will be-
come Of his precocity when maturity demands
that great mentality shall be built on his
child abnormality? Only few of the preco-
cious prodigies have survived the test of de-
veloped adolescence, much less maturity. Viii
liam Culan Bryant wrote fairly good poetry
at the age of 10. James Fennimore Cooper
entered Yale at the age of Is. T. B. Macaulay
read and translated Greek when he was only
IS. These were youthful prodigies whose men
tally survived maturity though none of them
measured up as men TO what they were as
children.
Lincoln was no child prodigy. Grant was a
dull boy. Edison was a mediocre. There is
not line of history to indicate that Webster,
Clay Benton, Calhoun, Blaine or Cleveland
were more than normal mentality as boys.
Their great brains were developed in maturity.

Too Great a Difference:
From the Vidalia Advance.

1t is useless for press agents to fill the col
umns of the papers about the wave of pros
perity sweeping over the country. All fac
tories and manufacturing enterprises and
railroad employees and those who are engaged
in public works are prosperous, but the farm
ing class, the real foundation of all prosper
ity, are down and almost out. They cannot
exist under present conditions. There is too
great difference between the manufactured
product and the raw material for real pros
perity to prevail.
Cotton, corn, wheat, hides in fact all prod
ucts of the farming class are cheap, very
cheap; while dry goods, shoes, flour, meal,
ETC., are high, very high. How can pros
perity abide with a people under such con-
ditions? AS long as the agricultural inter
ests of any country are pressed to the wall
no lasting prosperity can be expected, as it
is useless for the other classes to talk about
prosperity while the farmer cannot meet his
obligations.
Railroad workers, carpenters, brick masons,
factory laborers, miners, and all others of
this class must come down on level with the
income of the farmer. Factories cannot go
on making a yearly profit of over one hundred
and fifty per cent of their capital invested
while the farmer is selling his products at
starvation prices.
We had just as we'll face the truth, and in
some way correct the great injustice that is
being done the agricultural interests of our
country.

THE LONESOMEST PLACE.

The lonsomest place on earth is not the
isolated island on which no human being ex-
cept Friday is known. 1t is not in the fast
nesses of the mountains where no sound
breaks the silence save the voices of nature
1t is not in the wilderness where a Paul might
spend his years of preparation for-the great
work to which he had been called. 1t is on
the busiest corner of the most popuous city,
where the passing thousands know none save
themselves and where the human form and
the human face become automatons in the
maelstrom of the hurrying food. On such a
corner the stranger may stand for hours even
days, and see none who respond with a
friendly smile, who utter word Of recogni-
ton.
A philosopher once said that the lonesom-
est place was the human heart which had
no place for the friendship Of other lonesome
hearts. He was right in the sense that lone
someness is matter OF human isolation from
ones fellows. But where humanity mingles
and blends there hearts respond to hearts and
no 1onesomeness is possible. The visitor in
the country home, the neighborly caller in the
city bring hearts together But in the swirl
of human events the individual on the cor
ner of the busy street finds nothing that re-
spends to his own feelings nothing that cross
es the void and opens the communion of souls.
Churches have sought to eliminate this hui
man isolation, but the aloofnesS that gives
each his allotted pew and the stranger cere-
monial welcome does not bring together the
hearts of those who are distant because OF
the environment

TO KILL WILDCATS.

Every dollar invested in wildcat stock is
thrice lost.
First, by the man who saved it;
Second by the legitimate industry forced
to compete for capital against bue-sky stock
crooks;
Third, by society which would have profit
ed by use of the money in legitimate business,
And it isn't always the dollar sunk in
mythical oil wells or gold mines that thus
commits suicide.
W. B. Colver, former member OF the federal
trade commission, cites the case OF a substan-
tia going New York concern in need OF
more capital. 1t got the money on these
terms: OF every dollar invested by the pub
lie the company received 80 cents. The bal
ance was split three ways-23 cents to the
underwriters, % cents to the sub-underwriters
and Is cents to the brokers.
Addressing the National Coffee Roasters'
Association, Colver said that a way must be
found to protect the public against financial
middlemen who exact such terrible toll, and
the out and-out crook.
Efforts of various states, including Georgia,
to do this through blue sky" laws have been
Intellectual.
Publicity is Colvers solution-enforced pub
1icity of all facts involved in the stock issue.
He would require detailed statements of
financial and physical condition. OF
the purpose for which the money would be
used of all promotion fees and payments to
bankers, underwriters or brokers.
Responsibility for false statements would be
pinned on the company ITSELF its officers and
promoters its financial agents and all others
in marketing the issue.
With such knowledge of the facts and such
protection against lies an investor would go
into deal with his eyes open.

THE UNLOCKED DEMOCRACY.

Way up in frozen South Dakota there is
published at Alexandria a newspaper with the
true democratic spirit. The Alexandria Her
aid says:
There is apparently lack of knowledge
OF the characteristics Of good democrats
upon the part OF those who are contending
that the democratic party is on its last legs,
and will make but feeble fight four years
from now. Democracy is an institution
having more lives than the cat. A good
democrat does not know when he is licked"
The fact is, you can't lick him. You can
beat him at the polls and show him that he is
on the wrong side of the fence, but he will bob
up serenely and beg for more. You can i'll
treat democrat and hammer his party into
the bowels of the earth, but he will be on
hand to help dig out the remains and furnish
the pulmotor to bring him back to the breath
of life Democracy licked? Never! The demo-
cratic party has been down and out dozens of
times, but the rank and file never know it.
That's why there will always be democratic

GOOD MONEY FOR BAD.

The spirit of Congressman Johnson, who
wants to make those who profted unjustly
through war contracts dsgorge their ill-got-
ten gains, is to be recommended, but as it will
require at least $2,5OOOOO of good money to
make the investigation it hardly seems the eff
fort is worth the candle. The public knows
now that vast sums of its money-the money
it paid in the form of taxes and liberty bonds
were squandered. 1t knows that graft
fourished like young bay tree. But at the
same time it knows the acts OF the grafters
were so covered by contracts, the contracts
of incompetent officials at Washington, that
the money unjustly procured under them can
not be recovered as such funds in private
business transactions might be recovered in
courts of equity

835. Professor Wheeler has bound volume

By streamlet and fountain,
With a rayleSS sky above
Whilst her mate was in the mountain,
Sat a gentle-gentle dove,
With a sadness as if only
'Twere that day-dawn had not neared-
Yet though listless, ah! how lonely
She appeared.
And l prayed that soon the morrow,
For that lone dove might appear,
AS the accents of her sorrow
Softly fell upon my ear
Il have lingered-I have hardened
From the dawning of the day,
Till the sullen night hath darkened
On his way.
Il am weary with my waking,
And my watchfulnesS hath ceased:
Ii he comes not with the breaking
OF the morning in the east,
Where | sought him-where he left me
By the fountain, | will die;
There he often has caress'd me
There-let me die!
And the moment came so cherished
But her mate was in the mountain.
And the constant lone dove-perished
BY the streamet and the fountain,
And the distant dove came thither
Ere the parting OF the morrow
Then anon, | know not whittier,
Fled in sorrow. II. H.

UNCLE IOHNNY'S RECIPE.

Most folks will listen most respectfully to
"Uncle Johnny" Shell, 1872 years old, of
Greasy Creek, KY, the worlds oldest man,
when he tells the pulic health authorities in
their coming convention in Chicago how he
does it. Fresh air, raw meat and white wills
ky" is the prescription Uncle Johnny" has
already given for keeping right on living after
you are 1872.
That is way of life that it's safe to say
would not appeal to most OF us. We prefer
90 or 20 years with fried chicken, spare ribs
and sausage, country ham with speckled
gravy and pie to twice that span on fresh
air, raw meat and white whisky

MISERY HAS COMPANY.

Fruit may be high in this country, but our
English neighbors pay great deal more for
the privilege of eating it than we. Not long
since pears in England were in the market at
forty-two cents pound, plums six cents less,
oranges were from sixteen to twentyfour
cents apiece, while bananas were offered
abundantly at eighty-four cents dozen. Sta
pies were higher, too, than in America, for
eggs were ninety-six cents a dozen, butter
seventy eight cents pound, bacon $1.O8 and
potatoes were more than we paid when the
highest last spring, the asking price being
eight cents pound.
If misery likes company there you are.

ONE SAFE FARMER.

From the Greensboro (Ala) Farmer.
There was Hale county farmer in town
last Monday who was happy. He had lust
finished paying up a debt OF thousand dol
lars, and said he didn't owe a cent He has
plenty OF corn, potatoes, peas, syrup and
hogs at home to do him next year. He quit
cotton some time ago, when he found it cost
him more to make it than he could sell it for.
Can anybody get a lesson out of this?
