Tony Devon caught a glimpse Of the

when she went out OF the Salvation

Of her a wonderfully new and utterly
strange emotion.
She was painting for breath when
she ran up the gangplank Of the canal

A woman WAS busy brewing tea
when the girl slipped down the steps
Of the cabin.

She shivered, fearing that the law
lay in wait for her absent husband.
"Who, brat?' she repeated implor-

Tonnibel bent over and looked
straight into the sad. wan face.
God, just plain lovin' God I" she
replied, her countenance expressing
unusual exaltation. "Sit minute

side by side they sat together on the
bunk while with lowered reverent
voice the girl told the story Of the
Shepherd who had said long ago with
infinite pity, Feed my sheep"

THE HOME TOWN PAPER

When local people want to in
terest distant friends in their
own home town, in most cases
they send them copies of the
home town papers. When a
prospective establishment desires
information in regard to a local
community, its prospects and
possibilities, it sends for a copy
of the home town paper.
When the active merchants
who appreciate the medium of
advertising use the columns of
the local paper freelv. 2n i'm
preston is created among the
many outside readers and pros
pective buyers who see the paper,
that it is an exceedingly bright
and wide-awake business center.
In other words your home town
paper becomes the official spokes-
man and representative for your
own community.
If. on the other hand, the
merchants do not use your col.
umns for medium of advertis-
ing, possibilities do not appear SC

recall, that while travelling
my first action upon arriving il

the latest paper, and scan th'

JIM JONES "CUssEs" HIS OWN FAMILY.

The Jones and Smith families out in the Chestnut Ridge
neighbOrhOod fall out, a fight occurs and a law suit follows IN
which feelings run high and which divides the neighbOrhood
into two factions. Jim Jones, one of the Jones sons, pretends
that he sides with the rest of the Jones family, but after the
lawsuit is decided and feelings begin to cool he gets to be
that his mother was meddlesome, that his sisters swore falsely,
that his brothers and his father were inveigled into the night
and the lawsuit with the Smiths by the lure of money IN the
hands of Brown and others. go,
Jim Jones stands upon the street corners and "cusses' the
other members of his family; he goes out upon the highways
and talks much and often about how others In the Chestnut
Ridge neighborhood have been made to suffer by what he terms
the "damnable" acts of his father, mother, sisters and brothers,
vet he continues to eat at his fathers table and shelters. his
furrow, cuts a blade of grass, hauls a load of wood, or does any
thing else towards improving the farm or aiding in the support
of the balance of the household.
He constitutes himself as a general adviser OF his cOmmunl-
ty and lambaster of those who discern his weakness and be-
hold his extreme vanity. The stool of do-nothing is his, from
which on all occasions he points out the lneXcusable plumbers OF
his father. Jim Jones honesty and craftsmanship In his own
estimation do not have to be proven-he admits them.
What would any sane and reasonable people think of such a
him? Is it not true that thinking, honest. God-fearng people
would look with suspicion upon any man who would puDllciy
abuse those of his own home? Is not the bird that befouls Its
own nest worse than a buZZard? ;I: -
Does not the readers see Jim Jones parallel in a man IN
Mississippi who loses no opportunity to abuse his own country
for a war that was forced on ia war which no brave and
patriotic people would have wanted averted? The speech when
Jim Jones prototype delivered last week at Pittsboro, Calhoun
County. shows that he has not learned the lesson which only
recently an old Confederate soldier sought to emphasize when
he said Damn a man who is not for his own country right or
wrong. The man who plays into the hands of the enemies OF
his own people by parading their faults and mistakes, ShOuld
be sent to the desert of his own seclusion.

We publish in our news columns a statement from the
State Tax Commission relative to the uses made OF money paid
into the State Treasury. The Commission takes credit to itself
for collecting more than it costs to maintain its department, all
of which is undisputed. But it is not fair for public officials or
Commissions to attempt to befudd!e the public mind by taking
special credit for the very things that the powers and Obliga-
lions of the office enjoin upon them. While writing the Com
mission might have stated to the public that the State Board Of
Education recently assumed the power to create a new office at
a salary of $4,000. per year to be paid out of school funds, a
thing the Legislature evidently did not have in mind when vot-
ing the school fund appropriation.

Congress, while looking around for things to tax, would per-
form a great service by placing such a heavy tax on pistols that
only officers charged with the enforcement of the law could af-
ford to carry them. 1t seems that human life is growing cheaper
in this country and nothing adds more to it's cheapness than
the concealed pistol. If the pistol can not be kept out of the
pocket any other way, it ought to be taxed out.

open to the public today for the first time various of the concessionaries secured the necessary blaming mill work from Home Builders blaming mill and thus followed the estimable policy of trading at home. They not only assisted in boosting a Phoenix home industry, but assured them selves of the best work possible in that line.
 Home Builders. in addition to being prepared to care for the regular run of mill work are also equipped to manufacture show cases of all kinds. An example of the work of Home Builders is seen in the show cases of the Bertram Electric CO, booth at the new Grand Central Public Market.
 It Is not necessary for Phoenix people to look outside this city for mill work, show case work or any work of that fine character as Home Builders has the equipment and the experience to fill any order no mat ter how large.
