those days science had made vast strides.
Edison and other inventors had made it
possible to reduce sound to it's component
parts.
Prof. Miller found that simple tones,
when combined, form simple curves on the
sensitized film. BY the use of his own
harmonic analyzer 1t was found possible
to obtain the simple wave forms which,
in combination, make the entity.
The New York herald., 1922-04-02

Investigation showed
that m u usical sounds
were repre- S e n t e d
by composite curves
which appeared to flow
smoothly, with rounded
bends and symmetrical
groupings, in an effect
pleasing to the artistic
eye. On the other hand,
discords are represented
by waves of sharp points,
"zigzags," and what may
be termed kinks"

The Bonus.

There is no precedent for soldier
bonus. There is no precedent for a
bonus of any kind and Congress is not
authorized by the constitution of the
United States to create bonus. Con-
gress is not authorized and empow-
cred to take any money out of the U.
S, Treasury and distribute it indis-
criminately. There is only one way
a bonus may be granted and that is
by the consent of the people. But
we have no referendum and there
fore bonus cannot be created in the
name of democracy. Congress, how
ever, takes many privileges and this
time the members of that body are
taking very expensive privilege.
The point impressing us is the fact
that eventually disabled and depend
tent war veterans will be paid many
times the amount of the bonus, and
why ask the Government to create a
precedent and condition no govern
ment is able to maintain and preserve
its national credit. We might as well
undertake to put in practice the the
DRY of communism and reduce the
swollen fortunes by confscation to be
distributed among the improvident-
the Bolshevic or prole-
Gariat. In that case il would be reyO-
lutionary hell, and it will be that any
way if the present system of whole
sale plumber on the National Treas
ury does not subside.

1t has made life possible 1t is II
truth the very source of life itself
When all other passions are dead il

fiery furnaces of disgrace and YET

breath of contumely with unwaver-

A mother will enter prisons OF

when the mob jeers and the heartless
machinery of justice grinds it's grist

MAINTAIN her child is innocent. She
will stand at the foot of the scaffold
and, when the trap has fallen, cover
the condemned body with kisses and
with flowers. 1t is still to her the in
nocent sucking she once Rugged to
her breast.
But if the path of life has led her
son to fields of honor, her heart will
glow with pride, ineffable, unspeak-
able If he is called to war, she will
bid him goodbye with dry eyes, al
though her heart be filled with tears.
She will maintain firm and hopeful
mein, that he may gain sublimer
courage from her sublime example.
When he sleeps upon the tented field
her spirit will keep watch. Whilst
he is slumbering she will pray. In
the agony of waiting she will die a
thousand deaths, but will choke back
her sobs and hide her torture. She
will search for him among the slain,
and try with kisses to warm the dead
and unresponsive lips to life. She
will coffin her heart with the beloved
body and her soul will keep the eter-
nal vigil of deathless love.
Mother love! 1t has produced, I!

Memory Of Mrs. Copeland.

Mrs. w. H. Copeland (nee Moon
was born in Bedford County, Tenn.
and moved with her parents to Obion
County in 1901. She was pupil in
the school at Obion in 1867. Later
she moved to Texas and married w
H. Copeland. Mrs. Copeland died at
Linden, Texas, and was laid to rest
by the Order of the Eastern Star, OF
which she was a member at Linden
On July %, 1921, truly good
womans race was run.
Death called for the soul of Mrs.
William Henry Copeland
To join the angel throng in the
blessed hopeland.
She so lived that she was ready, day
or night,
Her soul prepared for it's upward
fight.
We have lost a faithful member
from the missionary society, one who
loved God and kept his command
ments.
She cheerfully answered calls for the
Masters work,
For twas not her nature to waver
or shirk.
She carried her full share of lifes
heavy load,
And she never complained of the
rough, weary road.
Her life was beautiful, her death

Greater love than this hath no man

DEATH" to be mother
Is understood only by God and
mother-no other.
A noble tribute to womanhood she
has left us here on earth,
And that is more precious than jewels
of great worth.
She was good stepmother and a
devoted wife
Inclined to look on the bright side
of life.
Her home was ever cozy, tidy corner
and nook,
Yet she always found time to read
a religious book;
to visit the sick and cheer
the shut-in neighbor,
Til God said Come unto me all We
that labor"
We miss her whose place can never
be filled,
But we believe it happened as God
willed
What is best for us, we can never
tell,
But we trust to God to do all things
wisely and well.
To the faithful husband we would
say look up!
God gives sorrow and joy in the
self-same cup.

Of the Woman's Missionary Society.

Big Crowd Expected First Monday

The biggest crowd that has been in
Union City for years is expected
March 6. Like all first Mondays 1t
will be live stock and trading day,
but in the past, selling, buying and
trading have been confined to dealers
in Obion and neighboring counties.
The mule buyers and stock dealers
from a great distance have been in
vited to be here. The plan is to bring
both the buyer and seller together.
Another added feature is that our dry
goods and clothing merchants have
returned from the Northern and
Eastern markets and will be showing
beautiful lines of spring merchandise
on this occasion. Bring the ladies
with you in order that they may
trade also. The hotels and restau-
rants are prepared to handle the
large crowd. The Commercial well

alton would be national calamity.
Neither the Administration nor Con-
gress itself has an honest desire to
60 the polls on the specific issue of a
definite tax levied to pay the. bonus.
What both of them are seeking is a
workable method of making the bo-
nus a political asset, without incur

If that can be found, their cup OF

The Politics of the Bonus.

Mr. Fordney and his Ways ant
Means Committee are going ahead
with their bonus legislation, which
was to have been expected. They
will frame bill and will presumably
devise some sort of sales tax. The
chances are that their bill will pass
the House, but that will be the end
of it
This may be taken as a matter of
course, because the bonus is purely
a political proposition, and political
expediency will control the situation
up to the point at which there is no
further need of expediency.
All the members of the House have
TO go before their constituents in the
fall, but only one-third of the Sena-
tors are subjected to the uncertain
ties of a plebescite. The House,
therefore, will naturally make it's ap-
peal to the American Legion vote by
adopting the bonus, and it will quite
40 htLu- CITY COIlOl " IlC
dents suggestion by enacting a sales
tax to pay the bonus. But two-thirds
of the Senators are not obliged to
bother their heads about the Novem-
Der elections. They can afford to take
the responsibility of killing a bad
measure.
That will satisfy practically every
body except the lobby Of the Ameri-
can Legion. The Representative can
go back home and tell the former
service men that their record in re-
gard to the bonus is impeccable. The
former service men will be CORE
Sspondingly grateful, and if they are
not, they at least have no convincing
argument against the Representative
in question. Inasmuch as the bill
failed to pass the Senate, the states
mans other constituents will have
nothing to complain of, because no
taxes have been imposed on them to
meet the bonus.
After the election is over, Con-
gress can afford to back and fill for
another eighteen months before the
bonus issue will become serious
again, and by that time something
may have happened. That is a hope
which sustains Senators and Repre-
sentatives in many a troubled hour
The main thing now is to get through
the 1922 elections. If it were neces- |
sary to vote away the United States |
Treasury, most Congressman would |
be willing to do it; but it is not nee
essary, for the Senate can bridge |
over the crisis without impairing any
Representatives home following.
This may seem like a cynical view
OF bonus legislation, but it is cyni-
cal situation. Nobody is really act
ag in good faith about it. Mr.. Har-
ng does not want it, but he feels
at he is in hole and cannot afford
20 be incorporating in his opposi-
tion. Mr.. Fordney and his associates
know that it is indefensible econo-
mics, but they feel that it is good pol
iticss and with the election pending,
it is good politics that interests them.
The Legion lobby must make clam
or; otherwise it could not justify its
existence; but there are no Illusions
in Washington.
Both the Administration and Con-
gress understand clearly enough that
he country IS opposed to the bonus

ONE GOOD RESULT AT PARIS

Much OF what America did at the

representative. or one American crea-
ton at Paris however. we have so far

new state of Jugo-Slavia. formed OF

tria and Hungary. Jugo-Siavia has not
figured much in the news recently. but
came into feeting notice through the
marriage 81 its King to Rumanian
princess.
The reasons why Jugo.Slavia has not
occupied place on the front page since
the war are the reasons why 1t can be
considered with qualification. As soon
as tho war was over and their new
boundaries fixed. the JugoSlavs got

to make OF Jugo-Slayta a great nation.
they have been going steadily along
the road to stability and prosperity.
