on each succeeding visit 1t pleased him
to note the change for the better In
the child. Her devotion to her teach
er was something pathetic. This was
the period when Juds0n Marsh
changed his course Of life. A time too
when the merest passing word with
Miss Revere seemed to cause him to
lift his head higher, and the influence
Of a worthy resolve was noticeable
In his brclzed, impressive face.
1t was about month before Christ
mas when the settlement was visited
by Marsh on horseback. There was
something about him that reminded Of
his old time briskness and forcible.
imperative ways. In turn he visited
twenty Of the leading men and pre-
scented to each his proposition. Time
was when anything Marsh suggested
was carried out from motives of policy.
In the present instance he found will
ing auditors, interested and sympa-
thetic.
! .It's about Christmas present for
Miss Revere" said Marsh. II un-

"Oh, I'll go to the city and attend
to that. You can trust me, boys"
answered Marsh readily. II was
something of player myself years
ago. Now then, this is to be a secret
until Christmas"
That was agreed upon. Also 1t was
arranged so that on Christmas Eve
the scholars gave concert In honor
OF their devoted teacher. The piano
had been smuggled into the home at
dusk while she was at the schoolhouse.
She came home alone, as it was
planned that she should. She noticed

AS she fitted the key to the door q

parlor threshold.
There at the piano sat Judson
Marsh. He was softly playing Loves

board disc reading:
Merry Christmas-A token of love
from the people of Cedar Grove"
"Oh! 1t is impossible" began
Gladys, and broke down from emo
tion. And then as the hand of Judson
Marsh gently clasped her own, with
downcast eyes and happy, happy
heart she listened to his fervent
ayowal of the love that had made
him better man.

0VI change over Judson Marsh

y%\ year and Cedar Grove mar-

e made the holidays a wild,
~ - Il riotous occasion Of revelry,
&6E& such as shooting up the
town." distributing time and
money squanderingly In games OF
chance, INDUCING In a fist fight daily,

gentle cheer OF Christmas and the
good pledges of New Years, but this
especial Yuletide period he had re-

became stern and firm as some derisive
pal Of the past sneeringly intimated
that he had reformed and had taken
''the goody, goody pledgel
No one could trace the cause OF the
remarkable alteration In manner and
deed except Marsh himself and he
was a close mouthed mSn. Perhaps
Gladys Revere suspected, but IL so
she said nothing. She had come to
the crude, wild settlement to teach
school.
The Marsh ranch was ten miles from
the settlement and there was no school
in its immediate vicinity. Its owner
was q young man not over twenty-five
years of age, but he maintained quite
an establishment. His widowed sister
had lived with him until she died.

TO THE EX-SERvICE MEN OF
 LONOKE COUNTY

There is still at the disposal of this county, from the funds of the r. M. C.. A. War funds, $324.OO, for the use of buying scholarships for young men who were in service, either navy or army, in the recent war, as only a few young men have taken advantage of these funds, we have this surplus left. This money was set apart by the Y. M. c. A., to secure training in the different schools, oth business and lit erary as we'll as professional. For some reason, unknown to me, the boys of my county, have not taken ad- vantage of this as they should, and unless they write me within the next few weeks, will be compelled to place this money, so that boys from other counties who are clamoring for it, and have already taken up the quotas al- lotted their counties may use it in getting scholarships. This notice goes to four papers in this county, so as to reach you, and as soon as you see this, write me, or write c. G. Cross, A. O. U. w. Building, Little Rock, for infor- nation. If not hearing from you in the next few weeks, will assign re- mainder of funds to other ounties that will use it.

That Town Of Boston

A man named Ponzi lives in Boston He surely never got that name wish ed on him anywhere near Boston liar bor. Ponzi was long-headed enough to plant large sums of money in diff ferent European countries. and after he had established his banking connec- tions abroad he began to deal in for eign exchange. Americans dollars are of full value. These he converted into depreciated foreign currency. Then by switching his credits from one country to another he finally worked out the problem so that the money that he had dealt in abroad for himself and customers finally got back to the United States through a clever pro- cess of manipulating worth par. Pon- zi agreed to pay fifty per cent profit to his investors for the use of their money for three months. The sur prising part of the performance de- veloped by an investigation was the apparent proof that Ponzi was making good At the same time he cleared up several million dollars for himself in a few months.
 About dozen years ago the United States Government wished to float a big bond issue. Everyone was invited t. bid mi Boston man was le low set bi,l'ler. The astonisTe ell bankers of the country found that the Bos- tonian had no other capital invested in the bond enterprise beyond the two cent stamp which he had used to mai his bid to Washington. Nevertheless the lowest bidder got the job, and al. l most before the Government cOllld no. tify him to that ecect the big banking houses got behind the Boston "post age stamp bid" The result was tha1

the far-sighted Bostonian made lot of money.
 But why shouldn't Boston lead Didn't it have the first big American tea-party? Wasn't it the original Hub of the Universe; and hasn't it the only State House that is decorated with a Lion and Unicorn to signify the an- cient heritage of England? Boston has its Bunker Hill, it's old North Church; and Lexington and Concord hard by. Why, even Henry Cabot Lodge and Calvin Coolidge live in Bos- tons home State of Massachusetts. Tom Lawson also registers from Bos- ton.
 Maybe Folks Have All their Clothes
 Bought
 Many of the textile mills of the country have been running on short week schedule; while some have closed down entirely for indefinite periods. The mills say that there is lack of orders. The Governments figures show that there was drop in wool consumption of nearly 17,0O0,00O pounds from the average for the six months of 1920.
 War Is Not Over For These
 While lot of people are forgetting all about the war there are still ap- proximately 17,625 War Risk patients in the Government hospitals. The Government has decided to convert two of the national homes for volun- teer soldiers into sanitoriums for the exclusive treatment of tuberculosis hn fy,fn t1 sanitarium for the exclusive treatment of mental cases. These institutions are more necessary becaue of the con- dition of ex-soldiers, most of whom have suffered from shell shock and poisonous gases. These patients who have become disabled by reason of their military or naval service are provided for under the War Risk act.
 Gas And Housing
 That there is close and very direct connection between the tremendous building program now opening up all over the United States and the emer- gency conditions at present confront ing the gas industry of the country, is the declaration made by Mir. Philip H. Gadsden. Chairman of the Emergency Committee of the American Gas Asso- ciation Speaking on this point, MT. Gadsden said:
 'sThe building program of the coun- try has been postponed for four years owing to the war. Housing as well as construction of all kinds means new demand for gas service. For gas com panies to extend their service means that they must have new capital. To obtain the capital, the gas manufac- that he can continue to operate and maintain satisfactory service. To keep up such a service, he must be able to establish a rate that will per init extensions and enable him to meet the present tremendous increases in the prices for coal, coke and oil, and still live" MT. Gadsden appeals to the public to meet this great emergen- cy which threatens the gas industry, representing a commodity so vital for the domestic uses of approximate ly 45,000,000 people.

DARLINGTON TO HAVE
BIG CELEBRATION JULY 5
Great Throng Expected to Be Present
to Enjoy Hospitality. Many Free
Attractions.

Darlington for many years prior to
1918, when the war interfered, en-
joyed an enviable reputation for its
annual celebration and horse show
with races, on the Fourth of July.
The Chamber of Commerce, leading
business men and citizens of Darling
ton have determined that the cele-
bration to be held there on Mondy
July S, this year, shall far eclipse
anything ever before attempted along
that line by Darlington, and it is
expected the city will be thronged
with visitors to revel in the pleasures
and entertainment features provided
for them.
Probably the best part of it all is
that there will be absolutely no
charge for any of the numerous spe-
cial amusement features. Even the
two picture shows will be open to
the public, entirely free, from morn
ing until late at night.
There will be a spirited game OF
baseball in the morning, to open the
days festivities, between the best
and fastest teams available-free to
all.
Early in the afternoon there will
be an excellent card Of races at the
local track, with purses large enough
to attract the best horses in this
part of the Southland there will be
no admission charged.
Contracts are now out for several
amusement attractions, such as are
featured at the State fair, and these
will be announced later-all free.
The Columbia Brass Band of 25
pieces will furnish music all day, and
at night the Columbia Orchestra will
provide music for the gala street car
nival and dancing-all free.
Governor Cooper and Hon. Skit-
towe Wannamaker are expected as
guests of the city for the day, and
the people of Darlington want every
man, woman and child to feel that a
personal invitation is extended to be
present and enjoy the good things Of
the big day-and remember that ev-
erything is absolutely free.
