LOCAL BAR TENDERS
. BANQUET TO JUDGE WILSON

Judge S. F. Wilson, presiding JUS
tice Of the court of civil appeals, ac-
compauied Judge w. A. Owen home
for the weekend last week and was
the guest of honor at banquet at
Hotel Lindo Friday night, tendeded
by the local bar. Those present be-
sides the judges above mentioned
were Messrs. John A. Upton, L. E.
Gwinn, r. w. Sanford, w. v.
Bringle, Nat Upton, VIM. G. Upton,
G. B. MeClelland, w. L. Owen, w.
A. Shoaf, Jr, w. M. Simonton, John
L. Johnson, clerk and master of the
ehancery court, and Lucian Cockrill,
circuit court clerk. An excellent
menu was prepared by Mr.. Boyd,
proprietor of the hotel, consisting Of
oyster soup, Waldorf salad, mixed
pickles, celery, broiled half chicken,
English peas, French fried potatoes,
tomato and lettuce salad, candied APP
pies, toast and rolls, ice cream and
cake, cigars, Although there were
no post formal prandial efforts, the
guests enjoyed various anecdotes,
some of them at the expense of those
present.
One Of Judge Wilson's objects in
visiting Covington was to call upon
Mrs. Sophia Malone, who will cele-
brate her 94th birthday on March
18th, and who as a young lady often
visited in his home when he was still
boy. Mrs. Malone recalled many
incidents concerning Gallatin, his
home town, and had a very clear
recollection Of events that occurred
more than so years ago. When the
Judge asked her why she would dare
move away from such a fine place
as Gallatin and Sumner county, she
answered that as a young lady she
was delicate and that she came as
far west as Upton county for her
health and has been enjoying herself
here for the past seventy years.
Judge Wilson recalled that his first
visit to Covington was in 1880, when
he was candidate for governor and
spoke in the courthouse yard to a
large audience. He has been here
several times since and expects to
return again. Although advanced in
years HIMSELF, being a Confederate
veteran, serving valiantly and faith
fully during the entire four years,
and having lost his hand at the bat
tie Of Chickamauga, he is still hale
and heartv and possesses one Of the
keenest legal minds in the state.

Upton and Shelby Representative
Supports Measure-VOices From
Back Home" Didn't Change the
Legislators.
Nashville, Tenn, March 8.-The
contract rate of interest in Tennes-
see was increased from 6 to per
cent today, when the legislature
passed House Bill No. 800 over the
veto of Gov ALI Taylor Opponents
of the measure managed to delay
action on the veto message during
the first half Of the session, hoping
that during the three weeks recess
the members Of the two houses might
ahear from their folks at homen and
come back prepared to sustain the
governors veto,
However, this proved not to be the
case. The House passed the bill by
a vote of 81 to 26, two representa-
tives not voting
Seaator McGinnis led the fight in
the Senate to sustain the governors
veto. He declared that 80 per cent.

rate of interest. He said it would
work a serious handicap upon the
borrowers of money and would only
benefit the lenders. He appealed to
the Democrats to sustain the gov
errors action.
The Republicans took advantage Of
the Democrats inclination to favor
the bill by adding many of their
votes to pass it over the governors
veto, believing that the Democrats
would be held solely responsible and
that it would work to the benefit Of
the Republican party at the next
election.
The Senate voted 20 to 8 for it's
passage, the detailed vote being:
For-Beiach, Bryan, Gambler, Chand-
Ter, Clabo, Collier, Cooper, Cum
mings, Doris, Fuller, Harder, Houk,

DIAMOND WORN BY CAREOTTA
"MaximiIIian Stone" With Unhappy
History, Is Now on Exhibition
at New York.

A great greenish-white diamond
known as the "MaXimillian stone" is
on exhibition for the first time in this
country at New York. Like all large
gems, this stone has a history which
is not happy. 1t was found in Brazil
about 1850 and in its rough state
weighed nearly 80 carats, Ferdinand
Joseph MaXimillian, then archduke of
Austria, travelled extensively in South
America While he was in Brazil he
bought the diamond, it is said, for a
price approXimating $4,000.
The jewel today is in the same con.
dition as it was when worn by the En-
press Marie Charlotte in Maximillian's
short reign in Mexico.
When MaXmllian was executed q
commission was designated to sell the
diamond along with other gems that
had been part Of the gorgeous court
The stone was bought by an American
AS part of his estate the diamond is
again to be sold.

SEE CITIZENSHIP AS A DUTY
Happy the Community Which Has a
Number of PubIic-spirited Men d..
and Women.

A good citizen is a man or woman
who takes a real interest in his or her
home and the community in which
he or she is maintaining that home.
A good citizen is one who makes
every effort within his means to make
the community better place in which
to maintain the home.
A good citizen does not forget"
when election day comes round. He
makes it point to remember that
it is his duty as we'll as his privilege
to exercise the right to the ballot.
A good citizen takes the time and
trouble to study the candidates in the
field at election time. He looks into
their records, weighs the facts concern
ing each one, and determines their
worth as public officials. Then he
votes accordingly with reasonable in
telligence.
A good citizen studies the PROPOSE
tons that will be submitted to him at
election. He weighs the value of the
issues, determines from the facts as
he understands them, whether the
propositions are good or bad. And
he votes accordingly with reasonable
intelligence.
A good citizen, then, is one who full
fills his civic, home, and political
duties; one who is a part Of the gov
eminent of himself and his fellow men
through the ballot that is given him
by the American Constitution. He is
not a Sdestepper. He meets the
issues squarely and answers promptly
when his name is called He is pres
ent at the polls on election day and
he knows what he is doing when he
casts his balot.-QuinCy, (Ill) Wing.

Evil liz Scarcity Of Homes.

Much Of the unrest of the country
is due to the scarcity of homes, ac-
cording to f. Roger Miller, secretary
of the chamber of commerce, Macon,
Ca, who addressed the convention Of
the National Association of CONNER
cial Organization Secretaries at their
meeting in Chicago.
Marriages have continued at the
rate of 100000 yearly in the United
States" he said. But in 1913 only
10000 new homes were erected, while
In 1919 the number Of new homes was
only 10000.
This home shortage is not due to
the war, but to neglect of the prin-
cipeS and ideals of our fOrefathers.
Out of every 100 Americans 60 are dis
cOntented."
Mr. Miller suggested placing the
housing problem upon community
basis, with opportunity for every man
to buy a home suitable to his income,
and enactment of bills to provide fed
eral aid for home builders.

The Tide Outward.

The congestion of population in
urban districs is an old complaint.
1t seems to be aR inevitable Conse-
quence of our industrial civilization,
and none of the schemes for check
ing it have proved effective. The
disclosure by the census that the
cities are growing seven and half
times faster than the rural districts
is therefore no surprise. 1t is not so
much that the cities have forged ahead
as that the country has fallen behind.
In the years from 1910 to 1920, indeed,
the cities have gained only five new
inhabitants where they gained six In
the preceding decade. But rural
growth has been only one-third as
great.

In happy homes we see the light
of fresides cleaning warm and
bright and the description is alluring;
but have you ever been responsible for
one of those fireplaces cleaning warm
and bright? If so, you know it costs
more than it's worth.
my wife was an admirable woman
in every respect, and I never weary
of extolling her splendid qualities of
heart and mind, but she was a crank
on neatness. Our house always was
like a new pin. She wouldn't stand for
anything that looked like disorder, and
this characteristic of hers caused me
much misery.
1--WE had an old-fashioned heating
stove which burned big chunks Of
wood, and it might have been possible
to be comfortable by it in wintry
weather, had my wife been of a more
liberal mind. When it became appar-
ent to the most casual observer that
bad weather was coming, | wanted to
bring in enough wood to last until the
elements took in their sign. My plan
was to have a large box behind the
stove, and fill it with wood But my
beloved Arabella said she'd be ever
lastingly keelhauled and kerfummixed
before she'd have an old wOOdbOX in
the sitting room. She exhausted her
energy and intellect, she said, making
our sitting room a credit to the fam
lily, and she wasn't going to have any
old boxes kicking around.
Neither would she permit me to pile
a reserve supply of wood in the kitchen.
She argued that the kitchen should be
as orderly and neat as the parlor, and
there was no more striking evidence
of bad housekeeping than piles of
wood here and there.
you may ask why 1 didn't put my
foot down and assert myself as heau
of the family, but when a man has
been married q few years he gets tired
of putting his foot down, since 1t
never accomplishes anything. He Is
willing to make any sacrifice for the
sake of balmy peace.
"rhe result of my wife's attitude on
this question was that had to be al
ways drilling out to the wOOdshed for
fuel, and there's nothing more disgust
ing than leaving a warm sitting room
on such an errand. Before leaving the
house l had to put on my OvershOes,
so l wouldn't bring in any snow when
l returned. Having secured my arm
load of wood, l had to lay it down on
the back porch while l took off my
Overshoes, and then gather it up again
and carry it into the house.
This done, my estimable wife would
follow my track to the back door, with
her hands in the air, in a gesture Of
despair, saying l had left a trail of
bark and slivers and other refuse, and
If had the first instincts of a gentle
man I'd clean up the mess had made.
Having the second as well as the first
instincts of a gentleman, | got the
broom and dustpan and removed the
debris. 1t was the same way when I
carried out the ashes. / never could
carry out ashes without dropping sam
pies on the floorsand then I'd have to
get down on my marrowbones and
clean up, and by the time l seated my
self by the stove to rest, the fire would
be low again, and I'd have to scoot
into the bowling tempest once more.
