AMERICAN SOLDIERS TO FRANCE

Brig. Gen. Douglass Macarthur,
one of the outstanding heroes of
higher rank in the A. E. F.. mar

Every Army transport sailing with
supplies for the troops on the
Rhine has carried many military
passengers" to Europe. and ap-

abroad
These regular officers, as well as

France does not yet realize the
real heart claim she has on SO
many Americans-a claim that will
grow stronger in the years to come.
just as Americas civil war battle
fields have become more hallowei
with the passing of time. The re-
turning travellers say Americans
do not feel a great warmth OF well
come nowadays, and have a con-
sciousness that, baing Americans,
they are charged about twice the
prices a Frenchman would be ask

Despite these untoward circum-

the A. E F. who can scrape the
money together will go to France
at the very first opportunity.

PLAN DISPOSAL OF SILK
COMPANY PROFITS

Toxic, Aug. 25.-Considerable dis
cussion is going on among those in
terested as to the way in which the
profit of the Imperial Raw Silk CO.,
is to be disposed of. 1t is estimated
that when all the remaining stock
has been sold and all the expenditures
paid a net profit Of something like
100000 yen will be left awaiting
disposal. Various suggestions are be,
ing put forward regarding its dis
posal but the one that meets most
support appears to invest the money
for the establishment of raw silk
warehouse which will be capable of at
least 100000 bales. AS a larger part
of the capital of the concern has been
borrowed from the government at &
nominal rate Of interest it will be
necessary to receive it's approval as
regards the disposal of the profit.
Should the concern as suggested be
established most of it's shares yill be
taken up by the present shareholders
of the Imperial Raw Silk Company
and at the same time the Yokahoma
Silk Textile Warehouse Co., with q
paid-up capital of ATS. 1000 yen will he
brought up by the new concern. The
accounts Of the raw silk company will
be made up during August.

KU KLUX KLAN
VITAL issue In
TEXAS POLITICS

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 25.-The Ku
Klux Klan promise to be an issue in
Texas politics until after the final
elections in November 1t has become
vital issue in the Democratic party
especially in the rate for Democratic
nomination for United States Senator.
and is creeping into the race for
nomination fer lesser state offices. II
also has been bitter issue in GER
tain counties.
The action of the Republican State
committee in opposing the Klan in it's
platform, adopted in convention at
Fort Worth. Aug. 9, precludes drop
ping Of the issue after the Democratic
primary of Aug. 26. Politicians de-
clare they see a bid by the Republi-
cans for the anti-klan Democratic vote
in the platform plank opposing the
Klan.
The Republicans, for the first thine
in number of years have full state
ticket in the field now. Heretofore
nomination on the Democratic ticket
has been considered equal to election,
with only an. occasional exception.
There are few members of the Re-
publican party optimistic enough to
declare they expect success of their
candidates this year, but they do say
they expect the Republican vote will
show an increase. and the Democats
will not have as easy a time as in
the past.

between the anthracite coal operators
and their miners to end the suspen-
sion of operations are expected by
President Harding to be resumed
within q week as a result of over
lures made on behalf of the adminis-
tratiou.
President Harding, 1t was an
nounced today in quarter conversant
with the anthracite situation, holds
that negotiations that were suspended
early this week through failure Of
operators and union miners to reach
an agreement, particularly upon the
question of arbitration should be re-
sumed at once.

HOW AIN ENGLISH
FIRM PROMOTES
TRADE HARMONY

London, Aug. TAT the mammoth
establishment of Lever Brothers,
Port Sunlight" Lord Leverhulme has
long demonstrated to the commercial
world that it pays to treat employees
well, The co-partnership idea has
been the foundation of his gigantic
business. He has just carried tina,
idea long step further.
Life insurance policies will be taken
out by the company for every CO.
partner in the firm, from laborers to
directors. The policies of ordinary
members of the staff will be forth
from 100 pounds to a maximum of
1000 pounds; those of foremen from
200 to 200 pounds, and those of man
ayers from 400 to 1000 pounds. A
system Of grading is to be instituted
to determine the amount of the policy
allotted to each person. Devotion to
duty and efficiency will lead to pro-
motion to a higher grade and an In
crease in the amount of the policy.
while for insufficient or careless work
an employee may be graded down.
Should an employee retire with the
company's consent, the company will
try to arrange that he continue to pay
the premiums. In the event OF an
employee leaving in any other cir
cumstances, the company will try to
secure that the assured person, II he
so desires, shall continue payments
at the ordinary rates without medical
examination.
Under the unemployment scheme
the firm will pay a co-partner such a
sum as, with all allowances from
other sources, will equal half wages.
Benefit will be paid on a similar basis
in the case Of sickness extending over
week. This benefit will run for four
weeks. and its continuance will then
be considered.
Lord Leverhulme,. EXPLAINING the
scheme to meeting of the employees.
who adopted it with enthusiasm, said
wages. The payment of trade union
rates Of wages was the basis of the
plan, but the idea of the new proposals
was to reward and encourage dill
gence and efficient service.
I'VE feel" Lord Leverhulme added.
that there cannot be any greater
stabilizing effect than that of remoy-
ing the dread of unemployment and
removing the possibility of depend
ents being left destitute in the case OF
the death of the bread winner"
Lord Leverhulme spoke highly OF
the value of co-partnership. ''The last
two years of stress and strain that we
have gone through in business haye
proved" he said, that co-partnership
is a sheet anchor in such a-time. We
may have adversity in the future but
Il am certain that the co.partnership
principle will come out triumphant
and with flying colors."

There were no eye witnesses to

how 1t occurred. Mr.. Marine and his
wife and son lived in the home and
employed several men, who worked
on the farm and lived near the house.
Lincoln Marine, the son, was in ac-
tive charge of the farm and today
when he came home for dinner he
found that his mother was not at
home and there had been no prep
aration for dinner. :. Lincoln went
through the house to see where his
father was, but found that he was not
at the house. Knowing that his moth
er went bathing about 1880 o'clock
every day, he thought that perhaps
she did not realize the lateness OF
she hour and was probably still bath
ing, SO he went to the water to call
her.
sThere Is an old dock nfront of
the house, and as he neared the dock
he saw his mothers body floating be-
tween two piling He said he realized
at once that she was dead and he ran
back to the house to get one OF the
men to help him recover the body.
The two went to the waters edge and
recovered the body and took it home.
Lincoln phoned for DR.. M. M. Har-
rison in Palmetto and, believing that
his father was at the lower end OF
the key. he sent a man to summon
said he could not find the old gPtle-
man. Young Marine said he thought
then that perhaps his father met with
an accident in the water and phoned
