MORE TRUTH
 THAN POETRY
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

INVITATIONS Our fate, wherever we may turn, Imposes hard conditions; All life, as speedily we learn, Is filled with inhibitions. Wed rather, when traffic cop Presumes to think we're speeding And rudely orders us to stop, To drive right by, unheeding. Defiant words, like Stand asidew Upon our lips have fluttered At times like these, yet they have
 died
 Ere ever they were uttered. When stern employers. now and then By petulance inspired, Declare that if we're late again They'll see that we are fired, We'd like to strike a tragic pose. Like actors do on stages, And say, the way they do in shows, All right; hand out our wages. Employers are not lords and kings, To be beseeched or prayed to. And yet we never say these things. Because we are afraid to. Wed like at home to give the law, And, though our mein was pleasant To have the family bow in awe Whenever we were present. If anything we chanced to state, Wed have nobody doubt 1t; Our least command should have such
 weight
 That none would seek to flout it. Desires like these in us abound, And yet we do not stress them Because we frequently have found It better to repress them.
 Natural Desire
 China protests that she wants to be left in peace and not In pieces. :.
 Times Have Changed Many of the people of West Vir- ginia are said to be emigrating to Mexico. Peace at any price.
 Wed Win
 If We want to make sure that Britain and Japan's warships are junked, why not play poker for 'em

ANDREW AND
 IMOGENE
Fly ROE FULKERsON

The clock down in the dining room struck one
 Andrew tossed impatiently in the bed, while Imogene slept sweetly
 He wanted to reach over and shake her in exasperation of his insomnia.
 The little alarm clock on tho dress CT made different sound and at traeted his attention. It tick, tick, licked along, and then suddenly there was break. It went tick-i-ty- tick
 He listened carefully and the lit- tie break in the steady tick, tick, tick, came again. Tick tick. There! It was just like a marching soldier who had lost step and was making the little half step with which marching men fall again into the step of the line.
 The wind rattled a window, and out in the alley a gate squeaked on an unoiled hinge.
 Someone had left a gate open. He wondered what gate 1t was Maybe he had left the garage door open. No; he was positive it was not that, for he always fastened 1t.
 Squeak! The~ gate was swinging in the wind again. Wonder if 1t could be that garage door?
 Then he recalled that tho robes and two pair of gauntlets were In the seat of the car. If 1t was the garage door any night prowler might get in there and get them. Squee-e-eki
 There 1t was again. The robe was not in the car after all, it was on the radiator. to keep 1t warm and pre- vent freezing. But any thief would expect to find 1t there.
 The robe cost SIP and the gaunt- lets $5 pair; that made S22.
 Oh. let them go hang! He turned over and settled down into his pillow again.
 Tick, tick, tick, tick, tiek-i-ty tick There was that alarm clock slipping a cog again. Wonder what makes II do that?
 He burrowed further Into the pill. low.
 Not far enough, however, to es- cape another long drawn-out squeak from the swinging door.
 He decided now that 1t was the garage door and not the gate. but he refused to get up and dress and go down there In the cold and shut it Squee-ee-! There was no K" or the end of that squeak. he thought to himself. It did not swing all tho way over.
 SQuedRl OQaedh GQucdht LIT ce times 1t swung back and forth. He would simply have to go fix 1t il he was to have any sleep No, he wouldn't either. Yes. ht would, too. He simply-SQuee-eek He tossed the cover aside and slipped out of bed, feeling in thu dark for his shoes. He put them or his stockingless feet and was reach ing for his trousers when Imogent awoke.
 What Is 1t, Andrew?" she asked sleepily.
 T have left the garage door open, he replied impatiently. "The wint Is blowing 1t back and forth, and il is squeaking so I cannot sleep" Get back into bed, you idiot, she ,yawned, "the garage door slides on rollers The wind cannot blow Il even If it was open" She pulled tho cover over her head and he began to pull off his shoes.

 Pepto-Mangan

The man who walks with q slouch usually has a heavy dull expression on his face. The eyelids droop In a lazy, languid way and he goes around feeling dead tired most of the time. Bad blood, all clogsed up with poisons from the system, makes man feel that way.
 That man with bad blood has let himself get In a rundown condition. He has overdone somehow, either physically by straining. trying to do too much. or mentally. by worrying. doing without sufficient sleep. He needs new blood. Gude's Pepto- Man gan taken In regular doses every day Is just the right blood builder. It drives off all the poisons. It makes blood. rich and red. When the blood gets back to normal, the color ini- proves and the eyes brighten. 1t braces a man up

given no indication of that fact. Its publicity is in behalf of the Amerl- can disarmament scheme. which would leave England mistress of the seas for many future years, and by indirection against France, because of the attitude of France as set out by Briand. It also labors to dispel American fear that the Japanese British treaty Is inimical to the United States.
 The skies are murky with dense clouds of self-interest. But irrespec- tive of the solution or nonsolution of the problems of the east, 1t is re- garded that the naval scrappinE scheme Of the United States will go through mainly as originally pre- pared. The 10year naval holiday will save the people money, even if 1t won't guarantee the future peace of the world.
 For as 8 delegate to the conference observed In confidence today, if the nations which like to fight fear their loss of prestige as result of scrap ping their surplus vessels, they will naturally concentrate on gas and air

lowed by the ordination of the class
 Of deacons.
 The love feast was conducted at
 9:30 and Dr. Bilbro led the service
 It was a very inspiring service, for
 a number Of the old and young
 preachers testified to the love of Christ and related many of their re- | ligious experiences.
 Preceding the sermon by Bishop Cannon the disciplinary service was read and splendid musical program
 was rendered by the choir of the
 First Methodist church. Bishop Cannon read a portion of the eighth chapter of Romans as the scripture lesson.
 Dr. J. o. 'Grogan of GreenvilIs, chairman of committee on public worship, made announcements rela- tive to the remaining services of the day. He urged the preachers to at- tend the o'clock memorial service. and invited the people to hear Rev. rBob Jones at the same hour preach at the opera house.
 IF the introduction of his sermon Bishop Cannon explained the mean | ing of hope and the distinction be- tween hope and love. His text was the verse, And every man that has this hope based on him, purified him. self even as He is pure" Bishop Cannon declared the strong est motive power is hope. T know that love Is equally strong as an emotional power" added the bishop. Compare hope and love, we will find this to be true"
 Many times we use the word hope when we do not mean it--a clear dis | s. Ln1N f,,1B col 6o speaker. Get this, my brethren: Hope Is the desire for any good thing and accompanied with the desire that | this good thing can be obtained" said the bishop.
 In explaining the difference be- l tween desire and hope, he said;
 "We desire for many things that we cannot hope to get. There is a difference between hope and expect, | for hope is a combination of expecta- ton and desire. Every man has hope, | for when one gets to the point where everything is hopeless. life is at a very critical stage" He told of the l'hopes of youth, of the middle aged person and of the old person, and added, What Is life without hope;
 how can men meet the conditions of life without hope7 Therefore, my I DTeLnTeut tHlS IS d very matter"
 At the close of the sermon, pr. A. J. Lamar, secretary of the con- ference, presented to the bishop the following class, who were ordained as deacons: H. P. Childs, W. P. Pa tillo, L. A. Horn, J. l.. Daniel, c. c. Garner. K. R. Ruskin, A. L. Barnett, c. H. Seibert. Grant Gafford and J. M. Mckinney. The bishop was as- sisted by pr. Hunt.
 The Greenville opera house was filled to overflow and hundreds of people were turned away when Rev. Bob Jones preached an evangelistic sermon.
 l Fully 50 Methodists of the various churches there were in Greenville to- day to attend the conference. Strong sermons were delivered by well known Methodist divines at all of the churches in Greenville today and tonight.
 | The memorial service was one of the most touching of all of the con- ference services. A number of the brethren have passed into the other
 world since the last annual confer ence.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 30- The task of caring for the 900,000 unemployed ex- service men of the country will be taken over by the American Legion. it was announced today at a special unemployment conference at legion headquarters here.

Delegates Oppose
 Motion To Refund Union Leaders Pay
fRepubIicAn A. p. Leased Wire1


 INDIANAPOLIS. Sept s0-By an overwhelming vote. the convention of the United Mine Workers of America today killed a motion to require of fiers of the union to repay q part of their salaries which were increased in July last year. President John L. Lewis, in asking rejection of the mo- ton, said its adoption would brand the officers in the public mind as a sband of thieves"
 The defeat of the motion was by a vote of 2,S66 to 1,540. Only five dis trict delegations. Illinois, Indiana, Washington, Montana and Michigan. cast majority of their votes for adoption. This division in the vote was similar to that which marked the defeat of Alexander Howat. the Kan sas leader, who was directed by the convention to order strikers to return to work.
 The roll call vote. following that ir 1 the Kansas cases. threw the conven- tion far behind in its work and the 1 administration forces tonight lait plans for q speed-up program.

from him to Wanderers cousin. The cousin. arrested, admitted lending the gun to Wanderer on the day of the shooting
 Wanderer was arrested and con- fronted with evidence that he had carried both guns used in the shoot ing. After days of grilling he signed one of the most remarkable confes- sions in police annals.
 Growing tired of family life. he said, he decided to get rid of his wife and her expected child so he could return to the army. in which he had held lieutenant's commission dur ing the war. on West Madison street he hired a vagrant to accost him and Mrs. Wanderer in the hall- way, explaining he wanted to play a practical joke on his wife. When the vagrant appeared, Wanderer, with his own gun in one hand and his cousins ip the other. shot both the poor boob and his wife.
 Later, Wanderer repudiated this confession and it was barred from his trial for the murder Of his wife. The jury found him guilty. but fixed the punishment at 25 years imprison- ment.
 When he was subsequently brought to trial for the death of the stranger, the court admitted the confession and the death penalty was ordered. The execution was postponed several times by sanity hearings and other legal maneuvers.

ucts since the average value of prod- uts of farms for this year has been estimated by the department of agri- culture at between s1,000 and $2,00o, but as most agricultural products would find their way into manufac- tured products, they would be exempt anyway under the definition of the tax.
 rPrcvision is made for a like tax upon similar imported commodities 50 that there can be no discrimina- tion against American products.
 "The yield of this tax has been carefully estimated and approved by one of the foremost economists in the country, Prof. Charles J. Bullock of Harvard, to produce during the calendar year 1922, 3759,756, GOO. Con- Bervatism has been exercised throughout this estimate. The yield win undoubtedly be close to s1.000.- o00, ,000. but the figure given is more than ample to provide the revenue which will be lost by the repeals which propose.
 I want to see real revision of our tax laws and not the perpetuation in times of peace of revenue laws which were devised under the emergency of war.
 aI want to see return of prosper ity for the American people and be- licve we can bring 1t about by the en- actment of a proper tax system.
 T believe that these amendments will accomplish the desired result and know that the people throughoui this country are of similar belief from general approval which the plaI has received"

Manufacturers Urge Enactment Of Tax Measure

CHICAGO, Sept 30-Speedy enact ment of some form of taxation by congress was requested in the reso- lutions of thefinal session of the con- ference of state manufacturers asso- citations today.
 The resolution asked that the taxa ton be sufficient to provide the necessary revenue of government economically administered" Other resolutions called for an end to the appropriation of United States money as subsidies or aids to state and local government because of the re- sulting confusion of national and To- cal finances.
 The conference also urged "de- cided reduction in freight rates as necessary step toward a revival of business" and declared that to dc so fit is necessary that the railroads be relieved of paying a higher wage rate than prevails generally in the communities through which they pass and are paid by similar corporations doing similar work"
 The resolutions adopted also asked the repeal of the Adamson law and the modification of thetransportatior act of 1920 to do away with the Unit ed States railroad labor board.
