MUNCY BROTHERS OPENING

The new furniture store on Short
street, owned by Muncy Brothers.
had its formal opening, Friday and
Saturday last week. Large numbers
were brought 10 the store, both by
the attractive bargains and by the
fact that some one was TO be given,
on Friday at 400 o'clock, very
complete set Of aluminium ware and
at the same time on Saturday
beautiful upholstered rocking chair.
Miss Verna Richardson was fortunate
in securing the aluminium and Mrs.
J. L. Gay became the proud posses
sor Of the chair. At about 4:30 n
balloon was sent up from In front OF
the store. II was said TO con-
tain a valuable tag which. II re-
turned to the store, would be hon
ored for $500. The balloon started
Oft in the direction Of Richmond with
quite a number Of boys following.
Boston Robinson happened to be the
one to discover where IL had landed,
in the neighborhood Of Blue Lick.
He brought back what looked like
an ordinary tag. but II looked like a
five-dollar bill to him.
The two Edison tone-test concerts.
given Monday afternoon for the stu
dents and again at night for the
citizens, both drew large crowds.
This was n most enjoyable part Of
the Muncy Brothers opening. and was
originally planned to be on Saturday.
The program turnout was thoroly
enjoyed. as was evidenced by the
generous applause at the close Of
each number. The effect produced
by Miss Shepherds voice in unison
with her own voice as reproduced on
the Edison was marvellous and often
quite puzzling.
The opening must surely be pro-
nounced a success from the stand
point of the interest aroused and
from the favorable introduction which
IL has given the new enterprise.
This branch Of the Muncy Brothers
business will be under the manage
ment Of Mr.. W. p. Kincaid

"spots" all over him-all the Great
ures of field and forest just couldn't
get their minds on lessons. Nancy
made one Ounce cap after another and
Nick was so busy leaving notices at
the different houses for truants he
had hardly time to eat his meals.
To make matters worse there was
moon, a great big round one, and
the nights being quite as nice as the
days, even bit finer, nobody would
do his night work or even go to bed
on time. In fact, from the yawnings
and stretchings in the mornings you'd
think the pupils came to school to
sleep, and that beds would be better
furnishing than desks and seats. Of
course the little owl boy and the bat
twins had beds, but the others
think of it.

THE TINE THAT IS COMING.

The Cedar Rapids Gazette tells %
letter received by young
Bavarian of that city from his broth
er in Bavaria who has recently been
released after having been a Ger
man prisoner of France. He went TO
work in a battery factory two days
after he got horne. The battery
factory is working "a hours a day,
two shifts, one of eleven and
another of thirteen hours TO I'LL an
order OF several million dollars from
British concerns.
Now does this mean anything to
the American worker and the Ameri-
can factory? II we limit production
by shorter hours and less production
per hour who is going TO sell the
world markets, viii it be American
or German made products. Just at
present the demand is so great that
we can get away with almost any
thing but there is coming a time
when our surplus must fight it's way
to market against the competition
of nations that have been so busy
killing each other that they have nos
produced goods, our foreign sales
have brought prices and wages higL
because Of scarcity at home; but If
other peoples are to out produce
and under sell US abroad what then?
Every one OF the fighting nations will
make a desperate effort in the world
market. The war heuceforth will be
an Industrial and trade war and be
carried on as desperately as the
fighting in Flanders. Germany, in
particular is forced to recoup her
losses in war by industry in peace.
And she is going about il to sell and
under-seIl the world. Her drive on
the world market will be as fierceiy
forced and as thoroughly organized
as her rush for the channel ports.
We need not hug the false hope that
her goods will be scorned. The order
British concerns for millions OF
dollars in batteries is the answer to
that. If she can sell equal value for
less money We and all the world will
buy.

! ed in this situation as the employer

Many OF our more northern birds
such as song sparrows, bluebirds,
Juncoes, and white throats--winter
In Georgia and impart sort OF

8. Do most OF the birds feed on in
sects or on seeds and fruits?
Probably more kinds of birds feed
on insects than upon seeds and fruits
tho seed and fruit -eaters are more
numerous and abide with us more
months In the year. 1t is true also
that the seed eaters nearly all eat
insects at times, and start their
young life upon insect food. One can
easily see. then. what an inevitable
part the birds play In keeping down
the insect pests that might other

one must actually set ready to work
again. to save again. and to set
back to thrift, sanity and common
sense. II food prices are TO come
down. he says. five definite things
must be established on working
basis: More direct and cheaper dis
tribution System; removal OF arti-
fetal restrictions on sale OF farm
products; a longer Industrial day,
with honest work for honest pay;
increased dividends on farm invest
ments; increased social and educa-
tional privileges in rural communi-
ties.
The farmers, as represented by the
master OF the National Grange, are
justified In resenting conditions; but
the theory that because one class in
sists on higher pay and shorter hours
the farms must lower production
does not get us anywhere as n peo-
pie. Limiting production never help
ed nation. In the end II would de-
stroy the class that practiced IT.
The grange will have to bide its
time. The reaction from the delirium
will come, slowly perhaps, but in
evitably. 1t has hit the farms first,
IL always strikes there first, but the
time is coming in the unalterable
logic of events when we shall pro-
duce in all lines because we must
produce to live. And the higher the
delirium of naturalization and high
er pay with lowered production runs
the sooner the fever will break.
