ceived and promised to return for the
trial, providing his present hiding
place was kept secret.
May Have Headed Drug Ring.
One theory which has been advanced
for the brutal murder is that the wom-
an headed drug ring, or possibly
was engaged in rum running and
had been killed when she refused to
furnish further funds. No enemies
have been found, and Mrs. Sudow's
unusual trait Of keeping her own per-
sonal affairs closely to herself have
handicapped the police investigation,
for no one has been found who could
tell when the woman left her home.
The young daughter, who has In
herited her mothers entire fortune,
was kept at school and knew almost
nothing about her mothers personal
affairs.
AS the double life of the woman
has been gradually exposed, 1t was
learned that she was a liberal giver
to charity, but that where she loaned
money her business instinct ruled, and
demanded prompt repayment at the
stated time.

Now, the corner where the mail box
stood was also the corner Bruce passed
on his way home from the train
So accurately did Marjorie time her
trip to the corner that the last of the
bunch of childishly scrawled envelopes
had slipped irrevocably in and the lid
closed with a click, when she heard be-
hind her the familiar step, and turn

she remembered that he had looked for
a moment as If he wanted to stop But
he had merely raised his hat politely
and walked on. And Marjorie, the
words of cOntrition halted on her lips,
had started after him In sorry dis
may.
That evening Marjorie left the liv-
ing room for the reception room where
she usually entertained Bruce.

the draperies parted to admit a smil-

PAYS TRIBUTE TO
<TRABERT WELLS MEMORY
Sunday School Teacher Lells OF
Lad Who Died on Operating :
Table

Greenville News. 22nd.
The following tribute to Trabert
Wells. the 17-year-old boy who died
while taking ar anaesthetic on the
operating table at the city hospital
several weeks ago, has been made by
his Sunday school teacher:
One bright September morning
twelve years ago, a little Sunday
school was organized in the old Ma
sonic Han, corner Main and Washing
ton streets.
Up those two flights of stairs
trudged little boy clinging to his
sisters hand, looking around with
bright eyes and on his face sweet
little smile
That little boy was Trabert Wells
and he was the only boy in that little
Sunday school for weeks.
AS the school grew larger and the
boy grew older, the brightness never
left his eyes, or the sweetness his
smile.
AS the Sundays passed Trabert was
always to be found in his class, ever
faithful. ever attentive-a joy to his
teacher.
Later. ne stood before the altar
with his class and took upon himself
the vows of allegiance to the church
and Captain he had been taught to
revere from his babyhood. Even af-
ter his confirmation he continued an
evercpresent Sunday school scholar.
When we think of the good he did
and the service he could have given
in the future. we wonder why he was
taken.
When we gather flowers for our
enjoyment we do not take the with
cred and scared, but the bud half
blown or perfect rose. Let US not be
selfish and want to keep the beauti-
full and let God gather the withered
and misshapen flowers for His bou-
quet of Heaven.
God loved him and took him.
The influence of Trabert Wells, life
will always be felt, not only in Trim
ity Lutheran church and the high
school, but the community at large.

THE IRISH SITUATION

Despite the positive tone of De Valera reply
to Lloyd Georges offer of dominion status as
settlement of the Irish embroglo, it does not fol-
low that the state of war, which had prevailed in
Ireland fer year prior to the armistice is likely
to be resumed. On the contrary, the feeling of
optimism described in the press dispatches evident
ly has pretty solid foundation to rest upon
Between the situation of dependency of Canada
or Australia and absolute national independence,
there is no! very wide barrier The allegiance
which those countries owe to Great Britain is not
which interferes with their domestic affairs,
volunteer relationship which Great Britain would
never think of enforcing by arms.
1t would constitute a tremendous advance over
the status 10 which Ireland has heretofore submit
ted. 1t would not be whole Loaf yet it would
be almost comparable to the doughnut with only
the hole left out And, human nature being what
it is and the Irish being not whit behind other
members ct the human family in that shrewdness
which recognizes the main chance, it is perfectly
safe TO assume that, after a reasonable amount of
stalling and protesting and settling with Ulster,
De Valera will accept the British offer
Naturally. he will accept it with the rescrva-
ton that the fight for independence shall be re-
newed whenever favorable opportunity arises.
That is all right. 1t is law of nature, ahigher
than any law of nations, that conquered country
has moral right not to stay conquered any longer
than it has to- And the statute Of limitations can
not be invoked, even though the opportunity does
net present itself for centuries All that is under
stood Ireland will accept the offer to become
British Dominion as a stepping stone to that COM
plcte national independence for which she has
hungered for FIVE hundred years.

written for the Canadian Child by
Norah NJ. Holland)
You've playmate high up in the sky
my dear
The wonderful man in the moon;
You may climb up his ladder of silver
light
You'll be there and back by noon.
He'll let you float in his golden boat,
His beautiful gold canoe,
And swim in his lake so dark and
deep,
And catch goldfish with the nets of
sleep
The man in the moon and you.
And he'll let you into his little house
So small and round and bright,
And he'll let you polish the shining
stars
And put them into their little cars
And play in. the moon all night.
But when the sun gets up in the sky
And the moon man goes to bed,
He'll bring you down to the earth
again,
And tuck you under your counterpart,
My dear little Sleepy-head.

mine had small repose, he worried much by day
and night, because he had crooked nose that
tapered gently to the right He spent about hun
dred bones with beauty doctors and their ilk, who
told him, in caressing tones they'd make his beak
as fine as silk. And now his lonely watch he
keeps, soul of peace and joy bereft and when
he sees his nose he weeps, for now it tapers to
the left My aunt had a lovely hide her
face like lilies kissed by dew but paint and
powder she applied, to be in line with all the
crew. She doped her face with liquid wax and
kalsomine and Magic Spray, and now she is a
batte-ax who makes the horses run away My
nose and chin are all askew, my countenance is
harsh and plain, but just leave it where it grew
it doesn't cause me any pain. My whiskers
form brindled hedge and oftentimes obstruct
the view, my moes and freckles stand on edge

THE ORLANDO PULP MILL
fort Myers Press


Announcement that a big pulp and paper
mill 10 utilize florida pine i'll the manufacture
Of pulp for paper making, is TO be located at
Orlando certainly should be reassurng to any
stockholders in the Florida Sawgrass Pulp and
PAPER Company. Orlando is a little more than
fifty miles from Leesburg the home of the new
sawgrass paper industry In the opinion of
those in a position to know the only interest
that possibly could be connected with the cree
ton of a paper pulp mill of the size Of the pro-
posed mill at Orlando is the International Pulp
and Paper Company of its subsidiaries.
Talk of the plant being financed by Indianapolis
capital, these persons say, is simply camofage.
If it is true, that such a plant the
proposed at Orlando is to be erected, the fact is
open confession by the International Pulp and
Paper Company that it's experts are satisfied
that the Florida Sawgrass Pulp and Paper Com
pany is sure to succeed and that it's progress
all as completely covered by patents as a blank
wall is covered with circus posters in the spring
are certain to revolutionize the manufacture of
paper unless way be found TO put a qui-
etus to the Florida company's activities. It often
has happened that a new plant, cut prices, etc,
have been utilized as weapon with which to
Stay what promises to be an active and aggres-
sve competitor.
The International Pulp and Paper Company,
like other big corporations linked with the octo-
pus group, is not in the habit of fitting at wind
mills. When it inaugurates against COM
petitor, it may be taken for granted that it fears
that competitor And the admission of fear on
the part of a huge corporation predicts lively
realization of the seriousness of the anticipated
competition. Therefore, those who own stock in
the Florida Sawgrass Pulp and Paper Company
may congratulate themselves; the biggest paper
manufacturing corporation in the Western hem
isphere has acknowledged that it is afraid of the
corporation.
