Wilson Planning to Write Book
on Peace Conference.

Washington, Jan. 30.-President
Wilson is having collected and az
ranged for ready reference all pa
pers and documents in his possession
relating to the work of the Paris
peace conference with view to the
preparation of a book on the peace
negotiations.
The president in making these
preparations, it was learned today,
has accepted the volunteered SER
vices of Ray Stannard Baker, who
was attached to the American peace
commission. Mr.. Baker during the
past two weeks has spent several
hours each day at the White House
putting into shape all available data
on the peace conference in the presl-
dents possession.
While it is not believed that the
president contemplates beginning the
actual work of writing or debating
the proposed book, during the few
remaining weeks of his term of office,
It is understood that he has in mind
the Inauguration of real work upon
# shortly after his retirement to pri-
vate life. 1t is known that Mr.. Baker
has only undertaken the task OF ar
ranging the material and that his du-
ties do not include in any way the
literary workmanship.
Friends of the president are un-
derst6od to have urged upon him
for sometime past the desirability
of recording from the viewpoint of
an official American participant
events of such monumental impor-
tance as took place in Paris during
the peace negotiations. They have
nointed out that one who played such
a major role as he and whose deci-
sions later became the subject of
such violent controversy both in the
United States and abroad could not
afford to lose the opportunity of set
ing before the world the motives be-
hind the many disputed decisions, as
involve Shahtung, Fiume, .Danzig,
the Anglo-Frahco-American alliance
and the Russian question.
Officials close to the president
have said recently that whatever the
president might write after his re-
tirement from the White House,
would not be autobiographical in
form, as the presidents preference
has always been towards history as
a form of literary expression.
One version of the events which

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a Fa-
vorite.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a
favorite with the mothers of small
children for colds, Group and whoop-
ing cough. It's pleasant taste and the
prompt cures which it effects has won
the good opinion of mothers every
where. AS this remedy contains no
opium or other narcotic it may be
given as confidently to baby as to

took place at Paris from an official
American viewpoint, already is in
course of publication. Announcement
was made several weeks ago that for
mer Secretary of State Lansing, one
of the American commissioners, had
prepared a book which takes issue
in several important chapters with
decisions made by the president. This
book is to be released to the public
March 5th, the day after President
Wilson retires from Office.

Item of Interest Omitted From
Timmerman-Williams We'd
ding.

Sunday morning coming from the
Presbyterian church, lady accom-
panying the writer said "You did
not mention in The Advertiser any
thing about the dinner at the Tim
merman-Williams wedding. Why was
that?" The reply was that it was
written because the delinquent scribe
remembered distinctly the process of
thought gone through in planning
what was to be written. NO.. said
the lady, "not word appeared about
the dinner" Such an oversight could
not be neglected, so the continued
account of most delightful occasion
is herewith added.
There is one rule of etiquette
which is continually broken and that
is the one which forbids the asking
of what the hostess had to eat. 1t is
very foolish rule too, for what's the
harm in wanting to know what your
friends had to eat at a dinner or
party? At any rate the newspapers
know the people want to hear, OF they
wouldn't be publishing it for, their
benefit. 1t isn't just idle curiosity
either, it is genuine interest, and
desire to know, that they may see
if they themselves can follow suit on
some succeeding occasion.
At least half dozen people had
asked this question and it was with
genuine pride and. pleasure that the
request was granted by those @ho
were privileged to be guest on this
happy occasion. Perhaps this is the
reason it was not in the paper. Some
times friend says "Why did you
not tell me that bit of news before?"
and the answer is, ooh, thought 1
had told you," when the fact it was
to another that the news was told.
Immediately after the beautiful
marriage ceremony had taken place,
by which time it was near the noon
hour, friends began to enter with
the refreshments, a bountiful and
we'll selected menu for the noontide,
consisting of chicken salad, turkey,
cranberries, crackers, pickle and
several varieties of delightful sand
wiches, passed more than once.
When the first course had been
finished hot coffee and whipped cream
with fruit and pound cake were
served, followed by mints (which have
become an indispensable accompani-
ment or ending to a wedding feast.
1t was a most appropriate and
bountiful dinner for the noon hour
and enjoyed by all the large number
of guests.

Kindness.

kindness weaves golden thread
In the silver cloth of life.
It's moonlight when dark paths we
tread,
It's a star that leads from strife.
It's sunshine on chilly morn,
That warns you through and
through;
It's a song bird that sings at dawn,
Fills you with music too.
It's love sweetest impulses stored
For a rainy day;
It's opening spreads delight where
scared
Clouds of gloom and poverty.
Kindness brings rich reward, too,
When it's freely given;
For it will return and bring back
to you
The key to an earthly heaven.

Mr.. w. P. Gordon's business as
public cotton grader is picking up as
activity increases in business circles.
He went to Trenton yesterday and
graded 1853 bales of cotton and has
orders to grade several hundred more
bales. Those Trenton farmers are
wise and know the advantage of hav-
ing their cotton graded.
The new system of working the
roads adopted by Supervisor Ed
munds seems to prove satisfactory.
He appoints overseers and they no.
tify all persons who prefer working
on the roads to paying the road tax
report for duty on certain day. Mr..
L. Y. Bryan has recently worked the
road from the town limits to his home
by way of the Gary place.
You can form some estimate of a
school teacher by their interest in
the County Teachers ASSOCIATION. An
alert, active teacher who is eager for
new ideas and new methods is always
glad of an opportunity to meet with
other teachers for an exchange of
ideas and methods. The Indifferent
teacher is generally in the teaching
profession for the salary and nothing
more.

Louisa May AicOH

81 made my fortune out of my misfortune"
wrote Louisa May Alcott, late in her life, to one
of her friends
Before she wrote Little Women" and Little
Men," and all the other numerous books that will
delight children for all time, she had known
years of hardship, disappointment and priva-
tion. But by enthusiasm and confidence and a
brave looking forward. she reached the PIN
nacIe of success and happiness.
Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown,
Philadelphia, on November 29, 1882; but from
the time she was two years old until her death.
on March 6, 1883, she lived in New England.
Her fathers financial ruin inspired her, when
she was but fifteen years of age, to attempt to
retrieve the family fortune by teaching school
and writing fairy stories.
During the Civil War she was volunteer
nurse in the government hospitals in Washing
ton. She cared for her father. for many years
an Invalid; educated some poor relations, and
took the place of a mother to her niece, while
assisting girls who wrote to her from every
where.
