APPETITE FOR SWEETNESS

No industry is growing by leaps and bounds in the
like the manufacture of confectionery. The western
people love outdoor life, turn readily away from harmful
stimuants, and take to confectionery like duck to
moisture
Combined with soft drink and ice cream parlors, c
stand trade and drug store trade the retail candy
business has almost to the proportions of tie
Gerry business and has far out-strpped hardware and
farm machinery.
Gldtme candy manufacturing simplicity itself
compared with the growth of educated taste and all
the combinations of food and fruit values that makes the
confectionery trade next to the hotel and restaurant
business feeder OF the nation.
BY combining nut products chocolates fruits and
dairy products with confectionery has become the
greatest single food article probably next to bread and
meat and is used by all generations, and yet is subjected
to Il special luxury tax that is absolutely unjust
On top of income taxes property taxes, excess pro
fit taxes. this industry is singled out for luxury
Why should clean industry like candy making be pen
allied!

THE PRICE OF LIBERTY

There is liberty in Bolshevisln. 1t has been tried
conspicuousy twicen France in 1871 and recently IN
Russia Informed people know that there no iber-
ty in the 1871 is there liberty III Russia
today Liberty neither for the Russian middle class nor
for the Russian workingman.
Ignorance begets bolshevism while education and
intelligence begets trades unOnsm and the higher
things that come with trades unionism.
Whatever bOshevism there is i'll the United States
today is the result of failure of internal vigilance The
DOOR, oppressed, ignorant came to these shores III
swarns and Americans took them matter OF course,
treated them like cattle gave thought to them at
ALL Little attempt made to educate them. to
enforce decent living conditions among Them to teach
them the true meaning of democratic liberty to gain
their good will neighbors common community.
Instead greed given full rein to exploit them Thus,
ignorance was permitted to stew in its rotten juices
and it brought forth dish of l. w. W. ism and boshe
vism.
It is easy to why the country has thousands
and perhaps tens of thousands who foolshy and fanat
cay are ready to throw themelves against the govern
ent of this land of freedom 1t because the Amer
can people forgot eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty.''

week, arrived in Paris at an early
hour Friday morning, on a special
train composed of several sleepers.
diners and baggage cars, coming
from Georgetown, where they had
an enthusiastic reception. The cars
were parked in the Paris yards of
the Louisville & Nashville, until
the tired boosters, who had spent
part of the night in other ways than
boosting, could catch up on the mat
ter of sleep. Many of the party
frankly admitted they had not been
attending prayer-meeting the night
before.
The reception committee compos-

first shown the homes of Wanderer
and Eternal, heading the Simms
stud, and the wonderful flower
gardens, all mass of beautiful
blooms, and then strolled through
various parts of the farm, which
ELECTED their unbOunded approval.
1t had been planned to hold
program of exercises at the court
house, but the late hour Of the
paIty's return from the Xalapa
Farm, and the fact that they WERE
behind on their schedule, caused
that to be abandoned. Headed by
