Thomas Edwards, Familiarity known
throughout Richland county as Uncle
Tommy" closed a life remarkable for
both longevity and activity few days
ago at the home of his son in the
township of Forest. He was los years
and eight months old and less than a
week since was in attenance upon a
birthday party given for one of his
veteran comrades. Death followed a
brief illness of bowel trouble.
Mr.. Edwards was truly remark
able life. His father was nighbor
of Daniel Boone and came to Missouri
with that noted pioneer, building their
cabins six miles apart, and Uncle
Tommy has many times quoted his
father as saying that they wanted
them "far enough apart that our chill
dren won't quarrel" In those unbrok-
en- wilds Mr.. Edwards was born Feb
ruary 16, 1916, with the distinction Of
being the first white child born in
that region. In 1926 he removed with

If we compel Germany to continue

TO make Germany keep paying her
Indemnity in gold France will have a
revolution. Germany has an honest
and effective government. The gov

1t is all a mess and a problem. The
war settled little. 1t left autocracy
still in the earth, eager to regain it's

MANY MADISON FOLK HAVE TAKEN LONG SHOT"
AT THE GERMAN MARKS-BANKERS SAY THEY
MAY NEVER REACH THE NORMAL STAGE AGAIN

Madison will have it's share of the
crop of new millionaires if the Ger
man mark ever comes back to it's pre-
war value. Local bankers say that
heavy investments have been made
by several Madison people and many
others have taken "long shot" with
small amounts of money.
Most of the people who buy German
marks, however, send them to their
relatives in Germany or intend to use
them on a trip there, said F. w. Suhr,
president of the American Exchange
bank. If any one does come in with
the idea Of buying them as an invest
ment, as some do, the bank tries to
discourage them from specializing
with their money in this way, he said.
Bankers generally do not believe that
the mark will eyer reach it's original
exchange value Of "a cents.
''Tt is a gamble, pure and simple, ~
declared Levitan, "and we tell our Gus
toners so. We do not attempt to en-
courage or discourage them, as it is

WILSON'S INCOME

Somebody once raised the question,
"HOw do our ex-presidents live?' Col
Roosevelt had comfortable fortune
of his own augmented by income
from writings. Mr.. Taft, until he be-
came chief justice had from time to
time profitable sources of income.
Mr.. Wilson brought with him to
the White House the small savings Of
a lifetime, which he preserved says
an eastern writer. During his terms
in the presidency his royalties from
books previously written mounted in
to rather handsome sums. Sihgularly
enough, they have shown marked
slump since he left the White House.
While he was president circumstan-
ces helped him save money,
The war and the suspension of SO
cial functions and entertainment
were quite an item. 1t has been esti-
mated that the former presidents
pOcketbook was at least $4,000 rich
er because he was not called upon to
wine and dine numerous dignitaries
and official persons.
Upon his modest fortune now he
lives simply with an establishment of
only three servants and used car"

best only guess"
The half billion dollars that, accord
ing to information received from New
York, has been invested by Americans
in German marks must have been
purchased mostly in the months fol-
lowing the armist1ce, in the opinion
of several bankers This caused a
rise in the value of the mark to about
two and a half cents but since that
time it has been steadily declining
and is now at it's lowest point about
eight-tenths of a cent. Before the war
a hundred marks cost $3.50, but now
they can be bought for IS cents.
Polish marks said Mr. Levitan, offer
greater gamble than even German
marks. A 10000 mark bond of the city
of Warsaw can be bought for $19.85
which at normal exchange rates is
worth $3.50. This is a return of 119
for /. The Polish mark of about the
same value as the German mark, is
now worth a trifle over two-hundred-
this of cent.
There is not great deal Of activ-
ity in foreign exchange just now, how
ever, say bank officials. - Madison

FOLLOWING the lead of the birds
and small quadrupeds, which are lay

stores in their homes, in case they

burton. 1.-The guides told me the birds
that stay in the North during the
winter have much heavier growths Of
feathers and the squirrels and other
furred animals heavier coats. The
fish have sought the deep water now,
whereas last year at this time they
were still on the surface.
These are unfailing signs, accord
ing to the guides, and they have never
yet been wrong. The natives always
lay their plans according to the re-
ports of the guides.-New York Times.

RUSSIAN RELIEF WORK |S STARTED
  U. s. WILL DO NOTHING THAT WOULD BOLSTER UP SOVIET
 REGIME.
AID WILL BE UNOFFICIAL
No Lack of Sympathy, But Aid VIII Be Sent To Starving in Such a Way as Not To Compromise
 Government.

Washington. = America will help the starving people of Russia unoff- cially, and will do it in such a way as not to bolster up the political Soviet regime which the government believes embraces a false and destructive eco homie theory.
 In his note on the political attitude of the United States toward Soviet Russia several months ago, Secretary of State Hughes declared that the So- viet regime was rapidly bringing about the progressive impoverishment of Russia. Now Russia is starving and crying for help her progressive i'm. poverishment" having reached the stage where the Soviet leaders are willing to appeal for aid to nation that believes in the recognition of private property.
 The fact that the Soviet government system has wrecked Russia economi- cally and that Russia has appealed for food does not alter the position taken by the United States toward the Rus. sian Soviet government politically in any way. What the future may bring forth, not even Secretary of State Hughes will venture to predict. If the government of Russia should recog- nize property rights and develop pro- duction through which she could es. tablish a basis for credit, her rela- tions with the United States might be altered, but not until then.
 Asked whether the Hoover relief ex- petition into Russia might be an en- tering wedge toward restoration of di. plomatic relations between the United States and Russia, administration off, cials said that the relief move had no such intention but that no one could product what changes might be wrought in Russia.
 The United States, it was said. has no lack of sympathy for the starving and suffering people of Russia and 1t will send aid unofficially and in a manner which cannot possibly com promise this government politically. The Hoover relief measure will, under no circumstances, be permitted to as. sume any political character. Notb- ing but the relief of the Russian sui ferers is involved in the Hoover expe- dition. MT. Hoover, as secretary of commerce, has nothing to do with the relief. He happens to be the head of the American Relief Administration which operates unof6cially and in a humanitarian capacity.

 Tt has been a great pleasure to be associated in scout work through these past ten years. Whatever it may have meant to the boys 1t has mean. a great deal to me. The seven years when I was actively engaged with the different groups of boys as scoutmas- ter have brought great deal of pleas ure to me. If every man could come In contact with boys thus intimately he would find 1t helpful in many ways even though it takes time and means the sacrifice of things men hold dear
 After the experience of these ten years in connection with work for boys l am convinced that there is no better program for character building than the scout program and I hope that may have hand in it for years to come"

The new plan whereby police re- ports are sent broadcast by wireless every evening had an immediate, in- teresting and worthwhile result. On certain evening large amount of police data and reports were relayed to the high power radio station of the American Radio and Research cor poration in Medford, Mass, and hurled through the air in a 1OO-mile radius for the information of some 5000 amateur operators. Among the items reported were the number, make, engine, etc., of a car which had been stolen from Harvard square, Cambridge, the day before. Among the listeners in' was a boy scout named Barney, who wrote down the details of the theft, for practice in re- ceiving. The next day, walking along the street in his home town, the lad noticed car standing deserted by the roadside which was of the make of the stolen roadster. He made quick, mental note of the number and ran home to compare it with his radio notes. The two tallied and he at once telephoned the police and the car was restored to its owner.
