Aint 1t the Truth?

Here is something that we picked up
in passing. authorship unknown but its
truthfulness is admitted:
The banker who attempts to personally
manage and direct the operations of
farm usually makes failure of it just
as the farmer who attempts to run
bank without experience usually fails.
A newspaper is about the only kind of
an institution that needs neither
experience nor special knowledge to
operate. Anyone can run newspaper,
or thinks he can.

Baseball Bat

Reports have been widespread
that Mrs. c. C. Grow of Glover, in
self defense, hit her husband over
the head with a baseball bat Tues
day afternoon, and that he was at
the point of death. In fact Mr..
Grows death has been several
times reported.
An interview with Mrs. Grow

less startling than reports have it
but bad enough so it may be stated
that Mr.. Grow was obliged to take
the bed for several days an re-
ceived the care of a physician.
Mrs. Grow said, "it isn't much
worse than goes on all the time,'
and has stated she was obliged to
use strenuous measures in self
defense upon many occasions when
Mr.. Grow became ugly aftetr con-
suming home brew. She says MI.
Grow threatened her and started
for her on Tuesday when the
episode took place which has caus-
ed SO such comment. She admits
she hit him with a club.

AMERICAN
FLAG IS
HELD SACRED
The Red, White and Blue
Is localized by the
b. p. @. K.

To every good American the
American Flag is an emblem of
right, protection of the weak. and
freedom for all, To an Elk the
American Flag is sacred. Found
ed upon the principles which keep
the American Flag proudly flying
free from stain or blot is the Ben
evolent Order of Elks.
The principles of America ex-
tolled by Bro. Warren G.. Harding,
President of the United States, are
the principles of Elkdom. They are
what Elkdom means-Charity,
Justice, Brotherly Love and Fideli-
ty. They are what we mean in
4 the language of everyday when
we talk of the Square DEAL.
What could be more fitting than
a tribute to the Flag by the most
loyal, staunchest and yes, proud
est f~ratcrnal order in the world.
The Elks set aside during each
year for public tribute to the Flag
public tribute for one day and
private tribute for 365 days of the
year. When you I an Elk you
are doubly a defender of the Am
crican Flag. Your first and only
Gift from Elkdom is a silken ban
ncr, the Stars and Stripes, a gift
which you hold before you as a
sacred monument, a beacon to
guide you when the day is dark
and the road is rough. The color
adopted by the Elks, royal purple,
j., a chemical blend of the three
colors of the American Flag, red,
white and blue. With the royal
purple side by side with the Amer
lean Flag, an Elk never forgets.
On the 14th day of June each
year Elkdom shows with pride to
the public its love for the Ameri-
a Flag and what it means to it.
A more impressive service is not
found anywhere. To this robe of
glory all Elkdom pays homage, and
just as the great heart of Elkdom
sWells and throbs at the mystic
hour of eleven in memory of its
absent brothers, so does this same
heart swell and throb at the
chance to pay respects to the hon
ored standard of its country.
AS Betsy Ross first fashioned
this mandate of liberty, which has
carried on through succeeding
years, so do the Elks commemor-
ate on Flag day a rcbirth of Old
Glory and with a tribute of flowers
song and story, honor its natal
day.
For the red in our banner, the
rose blushing in the glory of a.
June sunshine, is placed upon the
altar. The lily, white and pure as
the glorious Easter day which it
tcpresents, is next placed upon the
altar for the white of the flag
the white which has never receiv-
ed a staining blot. And then the
violet, modest and gentle, is ar
ranged to complete the tri-colored
shaft which radiates beneath its
star Of fidelity to form a shrine,
a liberty bell, before which true
Elkdom %revercntly bows.

STOCK MARKET
IRREGULAR IN
EARLY TRADING
Prices Shift About AimlessIy
Favoring Oil and Steel
Stocks.
BY w. s. COUSINS.

Copyright. 1922. by Cosmopolitan News
Service.l
NEW YORK, Oct. There was
no definite trend TO the stock market
in the first period today, and prices
shifted about somewhat aimlessly,
favoring the oil and steel stocks, as
a rule, and making a more unfaVor'
able showing in the shipping. indus
trial and some of the railroad shares.
The Standard Oil stocks lost no time
in striking a new forward stride,
and before, the end Of the first
hour, Standard Oil of New Jersey
was UP six more points to a new
high at 227. Sinclair and Houston
were quite active at higher prices,
and the Mexican Oils pulled them
selves out of the slump into which
they had recently fallen.
The effect OF the Attorney Gen.
erals opinion as to the application
OF the Volstead law to American
and foreign ships in international
trade was somewhat unsettling "a
the shipping shares. American Ship
and Commerce was off more than
2 points at 2lh. Marine preferred
was irregular at the start, but
gained a good part OF its losses in
consideration of the fact that Its
stock is largely held by British in
vestors.
Steel Strong.
United States Steel was strong
and active throughout the whole
session. selling below it's best prev
ious high price record. Gulf States
Steel pushed through to above 81
for a new 3-point gain, and lSeth'
lehem and Republic sold around the
previous closing levels.
Good buying took place in United
States Rubber. which advanced
over two points to above 81, while
the first preferred. on which the
8 per cent dividend Is being main
tanned for the present at least,
made a better showing than In
yesterdays market.
Railroad stocks as a rule were in
active, and most sales were made at
fractional declines from the last
previous session. No special selling
pressure was directed against this
section Of the market, however. and
as a rule, sales were in limited
volume. Equipments followed the
lead in rails, and there was not
much ry'ponse to the bullish factors
in this division of the market. The
same might be said for most OF the
industrials, toward which the atti.
tude Of traders in general was one
