BUCKNER'S SERVICES
BEING APPRECIATED
Former PensacoIian Making Good as
Secretary Of Asheviile Chamber
Of Commerce.

N. Buckner. secretary OF the Ashe-
vile Chamber of Commerce. has done
more, perhaps to put North Carolina
on the map and to upbuild the city
with which he has been associated for
the past eleven years. than any other
half dozen factors. Mr.. Buckner went
from Pensacola to Asheville, having
been associated while here with The
Pensacola Journal and the local Cham
Der of Commerce.
He stands out from the mass as one
Of the really able executives OF the
south, and since going to Asheville.
appreciation Of his services has been
shown in the increasing scale of re-
muneration paid him each year by the
Asheville Commercial organization.
The Herald. published in Spartan
burg, S. G., in its issue of September
29, carries three column story Of the
first forum meeting of the Spartan
burg Chamber of Commerce, most OF
which is devoted to a speech on adj
vertising a city. delivered by Mr.
Buckner, and based upon his own ex-
perience.
Mr.. Buckner's talk might well be
applied to Pensacola as well as Spar
tanburg, or any other growing city,
and the following excerpt will be read
with interest, not only by the former
friends of Mr.. Buckner, but by all
interested in civic improvement:
Every community is as big or as
good and wholesome as the people
who live in it and make It. 1t is made
what it is by the will of the people
! it is the net result of the combined
thought of the people under tproper
leadership and guidance
Progressive cities are spending from
municipal funds for advertising and
publicity through the chambers OF
4 commerce, Asheville being the first
in the country to establish such a fund
through a vote of the people at the
polls. This fund has risen from $2,265
in 1910 to $4,000 during the past two
years, and is based on lao of one per
cent of taxables. Every person of a
community is benefited by increased
population and the efforts to elevate
the standard of living therefore it is
right. proper and legitimate that the
tax funds should bear at least a pro-
portion OF the cost of publicity which
has a very definite value to all
States that are advertising official

Inaugurating a campaign to urge . bmerican homemakers back to the use of their own fabric crop, the Housewives Chamber of Commerce is asking every woman to purchase 20 wards of cotton material during the months of April, May and June.
 In recognition of the fact that cot tor, is one of the states greatest prod ucts. the cotton consumption commit tee has appealed to Governor Thomas F. Campbell for his CO operation.
 May l is to be observed as Cotton Sunday and every loyal citizen Is be- ing asked to appear in cotton. Pres idcnt and Mrs. Harding are among those who have consented to the plan.

holidays close at hand jobbers and re-
tailers are experiencing the annual
last-moment rush of buyers Their
demands appear to run for serviceable
goods almost to the exclusion of nov
city gifts. Hosiery. handkerchlefs'
gloves, scarfs and similar goods are
forming the bulk of holiday purchases.
An encouraging feature of the holiday
trade is the number of advanced orders
for spring coming in. Stocks on re-
tailers' shelves are smaller no" tnah
thew were a year ago and that condi-
ton is the basis for the estimate OF a
revived spring trade. This is particu-
larly true in the wash goods and ging--
ham lines, dealers reporting receipt of

WANTS TAX ON CAPITAL.

NEW YORK. December 14.-William
H. Williams, f1nancier, has prepared a
discussion Of the government income
tax situation In which he suggests a
tax based on capital rating rather
than tax on income rating. He
points out that through his plan OF
taxation the initiative of individuals
of business creative genius would not
be dampened as in the case of the
present method of taxation and that
the government in turn unquestion.,
ably would realize a greater share or
profits resulting from business ac-
tivities than is possible at the mo-
ment because of activities on the part
of individuals and corporate interests
in the matter of reducing their gov
ernment tax commitment to a mini
mum.

They are made of tan double-texture

Their novelty lies in the fact that the

hood collars. When worn as a collar
there Is no indication that 1t can be
converted into hood, yet this is done
by simply turning it inside out. The

FIRM ON THE YAP MANDATE
Shows Any inclination to Yield
in the Dispute.

Washington.-The tensity of the sit
uation existing between the United
States and Japan over the Island OF
zap was revealed officially for the
first time when the state department
made public entire correspondence be.
tween the two governments, consist.
ing of three American and two Japan.
csc notes, exchanged in the last six
months.
This correspondence, which is dis
tinctly curt in tone. reveals that each
government has stood solidly on its
original position and that each has SO
far fatty refused to give way in the
slightest to the contentious of the
other.
The United States is adamant in it's
refusal to concede that Japan is en-
titled to exclusive possession of the
small but highly important island. and
Japan has chung stubbornly to the po-
sition that zap was awarded her by
the allied supreme council and that
the matter is thus a closed chapter
so far as America is concerned.

MAY PAY RENT REBATES NOW
Theraten Washington Landlords
Under Supreme Court Decision.

Washington. - Washington land
lords who have ignored rent fixing
decisions under the District of Column
bia rent act, face the prospect of
rental rebate suits involving hundreds
OF thousands of dollars as a result of
the decision of the United States su-
preme court, holding the act constitu-
tional. In estimating the amount in
volved in the rebate liabilities of
landlords, who have ignored decisions
of the district rent commission, mem
bers of the commission declared that
of total of approximately five thou.
sand decisions handed down so per
cent of them had been ignored.
The law. which is known as the
Ball act and was passed by congress
as an emergency measure, specifically
provides for a rebate to tenants of all
rental charged in excess of that fixed
by the commission in addition to fines
for violation.

ing extension for the first time of the
application of universal military train.
ing to japanese residents in the Phil
ippine Islands, East India and the
South Sea Islands was reported to Of
fetal circles here recently in infor-
nation received from those localities.
Not only have all Japanese officers
stationed in the various Pacific islands
south of the equator and in the East
Indian islands been ordered to re-
turn to Japan for military training,
but likewise "alI Japanese between the
ages of q and 81, without previous
service, have been ordered to return
for military training to Japan"
Hawaii Residents Unaffected.
AS applied 70 the Philippine Islands,
the order was reported to have been
issued March 81. So far as is known,
i has not been applied either to
Hawaii or to Continental United
States.
Officials here, who have examined
the reports, attach no unusual signifi-
canoe to them but state that they are
to be regarded only as indicating a
general inclination of Japan, since the
war, of adopting more rigorous meth
DDS to place herself in a state of mill
tary and naval defense.
Hasn't Enforced Law Riaidiy Before.
The japanese law, it was stated, has
never exempted a subject from mill
tary service by reason of residents n
a foreign country, but hitherto cOnsid-
cradle laXity has been exercised il the
application of the law to Japanese
residents some distance from Japan.
For some years, however, japanese
residents in China and the island OF
Saghalien have been obliged to re-
turn for training.
1t is believed that on account of a
reduction of fifteen thousand in the
class called to the army last Deem
Der as compared with the. proceeding
year, meeting this discrepancy by a
more general application of the con-
scription laws has been judged ad-
visable with the customary readjust-

STORM FOLLOWED BY FREEZE

proximately 100 Persons-HeaVy
Snowstorms in the Northwest.

Chicago.-From the Rocky Noun
tains to the Atlantic Coast freezing
temperatures were following the big
storm, according to government mete-
biologists here.
The storm that swept Northeast
Texas and crossed Arkansas, Missis-
sippi and Alabama, causing millions
of dollars in property damage and
great loss of life, was followed by low
temperatures, it was stated.
According to Henry ]. Cox, federal
meteorologist, freezing temperatures
were registered as far south as Cen
trail Texas and, on a northeast line to
the Red River Valley, through Mis-
souri,, Southern Illinois, and up the
Ohio River Valley to the seaboard
region. The states of Nebraska, Iowa,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and In
diana also were experiencing freezing
temperatures, he SAID.
LAS this is the third storm this
spring to be followed by freezing tenn
peratures, the loss 10 the fruit crops
will be very great" he said. Small
grains have been hit somewhat, but
not to such an extent"
With the progress of the storm east
ward, temperatures raised between
and 5 degrees, it was stated, but not
enough to prevent heavy frosts.
New reports of the toll taken by the
storm which originated in Utah and
reached its peak of violence in the
West three days later are told in dis
patches.
The dead in Arkansas exceed fifty,
and twenty lives were lost in Texas; ;
ten were killed in Alabama when the
twister, cutting 4 swath a mile wide
in its most violent aspects and &C
cOmpanied by a high wind of much
greater scope, proceeded eastward.
Five are dead in Mississippi, hundreds
are injured and the property loss, both
in crops and buildings, will total many
millions.
The second part OF the double hur-
ricane, sweeping the North and Cen
trail West states, brought snow storms
that in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Illinois reached a depth in some
| places of a foot, and caused great
damage in sleet storms and terrific
winds throughout it's course. The Wis
consin hay crop has been heavily hit,
fruit trees in many sections were ir-
Teparably nipped, and many sections
still were suffering from wrecked tele-
graph and telephone communication.

STILL SERIOUS IN ENGLAND

England's industrial losses are mount

Prospects of a settlement of the coal

cations are that the miners of tie va

WANTS GERMANS IN MINES
Use of Former Foes in Producing
Coal Is Suggested by French
Minister Loucheur.

Paris.-Discussing the budget for
the devastated regions, Louis LOuch-
eur, minister for the liberated re-
gions, told the chamber of deputies
if Germany furnished labor for the
reconstruction of devastated regions
he saw no reason why the aid of the
Germans should not be employed in
the mines in Northern France in pro-
ducing coal.
NJ. Loucheur said that out of the
one hundred and forty mine shafts
great number had been destroyed and
also twenty-eight hundred kilometers
of tunneling and galleries ruined.
He said the complete restoration
would occupy ten years.
