In San Francisco the other day a
white-haired elderly gentleman dress

being converted into clubhouse for
the American Legion. He looked
around curiously and then accosted the
man in charge Of the, volunteer

said. Can help?"
Sure, pitch in" was the answer,
whereupon the elderly gentleman

hour labored with hammer, saw and

Suddenly there was new arrival
and the elderly gentleman was inter-
rupted with his work with ''Why Cen

Of bonds be issued, there would be then
required $1,700.00o,000 in interest per
annum. This sum would include no
provision for reduction OF the debt.
6. In connection with the above, 1t
should be stated that German pre-war
exports had an annual value ranging
from $4,000, 100000 to $500. 100000.
4. It also should be borne in mind
that German pre-war imports had an
annual value OF between $2,125, 000. 900
and s2,725, 600, 900. It viii thus be seen
that the imports have always been
greater than the exports. The adverse
balance was met by the items OF sin
visible income consisting OF returns
from the colonies.
The above summary sets forth the
amount which Germany is obligated to
pay and the manner In which pay
ments are to be made. Obviously the
plan involves a huge undertaking to
market bonds issued by Germany. and
which probably will be endorsed either
by the participation to which they are
issued, or perhaps a joint endorsement
by the group of nations which consti.

tons plan. It is assumed that for the
purpose OF obtaining early or immedi-
ate reimbursement, an attempt will be
made to distribute these securities in
the United States.

some reason to fear that the mistakes
of the Congress of Vienna did not die
with that distinguished body, but have
found some measure of repetition in
the conference at Versailles.
Napoleon compels our admiration.
Our condemnation of his selfishness
and willingness to deluge the world
with blood is tempered by our genuine
and permissible admiration for his
dominant will, which rallied vast hosts
of men, willing to die at his word.
There are three kinds Of people in
this world. Most men say there are
two, but there are really three. They
are the people who have a purpose to
do wrong and the people who have a
purpose to do right, and the people
who have no purpose at all.
The third is the one despicable class,
and it is not small. You can admire a
bad man who has a strong purpose, a
clear plan, and who resolutely sets out
to attain his end, far more than you
can admire an amiable nonentity who
has not personality enough to think
out a plan nor will enough to carry it
out.
Napoleon was a bad man, and he
went the way of men who carry their
selfish plans to where they become a
menace to the world. There is a man
now temporarily resident in Holland
who must read with interest all that
is being printed in German about Ma
poleon.
Mr.. William Hohenzollern, late of
Germany, must be doing some profit
able thinking these days. His tragedy
is the tragedy of Napoleon, and by this
time she must know 1t.
But think of the heroic greatness of
Napoleon, and the use of that mighty
will, had it been directed toward wor-
thier ends. Between him and his con-
quest of Italy lie the Alps.
s'There shall be no Alps!"
There were. none for him. That is
the kind of faith that removes noun
tains.

PRESS COMMENT
Plant More Pecan Trees.

In the planting Of shade trees of city

will serve more than one purpose
There is none other that will answer
the demand for tree which will be
handsome, afford a dense shade and

does the peacon. At the same time
there is none other that furnishes
nut SO much in demand as the pecan

asked for them, sixty cents to a dollar

ory and native in the South, is very
hardy and can be grown with the min

The demonstration lasted almost ar
hour. Time and again the president
lifted his hand for silence, but instead
of acceding to his request every appear
ance of his at the front of the stand was
the signal for renewed cheering.

to hear the president speak. They want
to hear themselves yell,'' DIR. Petit NUT

agreed with him.
Finally, when man with a voice like

subsidized and allowed the president to be-

Newspaper Costs High.

Newspaper Costs High.
While other industries and other
business men are finding a lowering Of
production costs possible, newspapers
throughout the country are still facing
mounting costs.
How these costs are affecting pub
fishers is shown in a new story sent
out from Atlanta which reads:
Few people realize, as publishers
here point out, that the cost of pro-
ducing a modern daily newspaper is
as great as the cost of operating
manufacturing plant employing many
more people than a newspaper may
employ. This is due, it is stated, to
several circumstances, one being that
the newspaper REQUIRES more skilled
and high-priced men than the aver
age manufacturing plant Another
reason is that newspaper expenses
cover a wider field than any manufac-
turing concern
Aside from the wages paid to the
men and women employed on a news
paper, the light, power white paper ink
and hundred and one other things
entering into the production of a news
paper, there are heavy expenses with
which only publishers who have to
meet the bills are familiar
For instance, the leased telegraph
wires that bring the news of the world
directly into the office of newspaper
are burden Of expense, as well as the
cost of the press service they carry.
Postage and expense of delivering the
papers to subscribers at home and
abroad cost thousands of dollars an
nually. Telegraph and telephone tolls
on news sent by correspond are
big items. In fact, modern daily
newspaper has a thousand expenses to
meet and only two sources of revenue
circulation and advertising.
The statement is made by an Atlanta
daily that it costs approximately $4,000
a day to produce it's paper. This, the
paper says, is an increase of more than
400 per cent In five years.
The figures in a gnera1 way, ac-
cording to local publishers, are true of
every big newspaper in the country,
and the smaller ,dailies Of Georgia and
other sections have expenses propor-
tionately as largest. Petersburg
