Welded LOVERS
Social Gift Made to Pay Dividends
To Both

Peter" by L +. Benson. George H
Dorian Company
z. r. Benson has suddenly
turned the spot light of his bril-
liant writing on the subject or
marriage among the new gener-
alton. He decides that there is
an old generation and he writes
of the old with so much deft
irony that one wonders If he has
not surrendered to the flapper
and accepted without protest
the new order of things.
His novel, Peter" is a care
full probe Of marriage today.
Peter and Nellie appear as friends
Their dialogue runs as smoothly
and with as much sparkle as a
Shaw play. Small talk" is TO
them first nature.
Had either possessed money,
they would have drifted into mar
riage. Both have instead the so
cial gift" They are as much a
part of the setting for sue
cessful tea as the samovar. In
the whirl Of things, Nellie meets
and marries a wealthy young
unexpectedly harmless, to be
sure, but willing to spend and
be spent Her life is SNUG and
safe without a single moment or
pulsating joy.
Peter inherited his fathers COL
lossal vanity and his mothers
self-possession, her independence.
L. 81 n hnV ~
tactful and always exerted himself
to be courteous and pleasant. To
his hosts and their friends, he
was that Mr.. Peter, always so
polite and pleasant"
Enters Silvia. "Who Is Silvia?
What is she?" Not so much her
self, but her father had been the
most successful among the prof.
teers and her wealth seems with
out bound. She knows only sin
cerity and honesty. Peter, to her,
is charm personified.
Peter asks Silvia to marry
him and owes a debt of gratitude
to Nellie when Silvia accepts.
Peter loves her. Of course, but
would never have allowed him
self to love her had she been
poor.
For the average reader, the
story begins when Peter and
Silvia are married. The interest
value of the novel rises when
that point has been passed and
the study of love and marriage
may be worked out with care and
patience. The struggle of the
young couple to get their love
upon a high plane is deftly and
wildly pictured.
The authors handling Of emo
ton is splendid. The reader is
relieved of the complicated and
compromising scenes which so
often fill a large place in the
novel Of marriage.
Peter is definite proof that a
sensual shock is not necessary
ingredient in the preparation of
the successful novel. 1t will ad-
vance substantially the reputation
the reputation of Mr., Benson.
Of Mr.. Benson.

SAVING MILLIONS.

From Washington comes news
that the cost Of running the United
States government this year is
$1.393.000,00O less than it was last
year That is encouraging TO the
taxpayer because reduced govern
ment expenditures mean still fur
Their reduced taxes later. The Ce-
publican administrators economy
pledges are being redeemed.
How these hundreds of millions
are saved for the taxpayer is il
lustrated by the postoffice depart
ment, where costs of supplies have
been cut hundreds of thousands of
dollars on single items since the
institution of new system of buy
ing supplies.
Under the old system of buying
supplies, contracts were awarded
to various companies for furnish
ing such supplies as might be or
dered during a fixed period Of
time. The bidders We're without
information as to the exact quanti-
ties that would be ordered and so
they could not cut their prices as
they ordinarily would on whole
sale lots. In addition the postof-
flee department even awarded
contracts to two or more COM
panies for furnishing the same
kind OF supplies.
Under the new system supplies
are purchased in specified guam
titles. This permits the bidders to
give accurate and lower estimates.
Economies effected by the new
purchasing methods have far sur
passed expectations. While the
downward trend Of prices is partly
responsible for reductions in pur-
chasing costs. the biggest part or
the saving is due to the improved
buying methods. Paper Is a typi-
cal example. The postoffice de-
partment cut costs on 2,OSO,OOo
pounds Of paper this year 10 per
cent. on stationery the reduction
was even greater, amounting to 20
nor cent. Miscellaneous items
were sliced II per cent
Similar business-like methods
have been introduced into all de-
partments at Washington, and to-
dav the federal government is on
an efficient basis.

STRIKES AND TRADE.

The United States continued to
retain its favorable foreign trade
balance during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1922, although it is
down by the serious amount OF
$1,000 OOO, 900 when compared
With the balance for the preceding
twelve months. There was
sbrinkage both in exports and i'm
norts. the exports totaling S5,77O,-
ooo 600 as against Sc, 516,OO0,OO0,
and the imports $2,60S, 100000 as
against s2,65AO0o,0O0. The vol
umo of business thus represented
while substantial, gives, as is read
ilv perceived, nothing particular TO
boast Of. hut it ought perhaps be
added. per contra. that it compares
fayorablv with the figures Of the
last pre-war year, for the exports
If 1q21-1922 are nearly $L3oo'-

MARTIAL LAW At
CLOVIS OPPOSED
BY THE PEOPLE

(SneCiaI Correspondence TO Inc Jou'""hj
Clovis, N. NJ, Aug. 20.-A pro-
test against the establishment or
martial law at this point was
voiced at a mass meeting called
bv Acting Mayor j. d. Looper
at the Elks hall. The meeting was
attended by some four hundred
citizens and at its conclusion
there was no doubt in the minds
of those present that the senti-
ment was against such action as
has been rumored was about to
take place. One of the speakers
stated that the secretary of state
had 'phoned a prominent citizen
stating that requests had been
made for state troops and had
asked his opinion as to the gray
ity of the situation. A resolution
was unanimously adopted which
stated, in substance, that there
was no disorder here and that a
declaration of martial law or the
presence of state troops was in
conflict with the wishes Of the
people.
The following resolution adopt
ed at meeting of the six shop
crafts on strike was read at the
citizens meeting:
Clovis, Aug. II, 1922.
To the Honorable Mayor,
City of Clovis.

and Public in General.

following resolution:
Re it Resolved, That this body

violence. destruction of property
or disfiguring any property of
any nature. Further
Be it Resolved, That this body
will not be and is not responsible
for any such actions as may
develop into violence, destruction
of property, disfiguring prop
erty Of any kind or nature. And
fourth
BE it Resolved, That this body
offer as reward, the sum Of 500
for the arrest and conviction of
the parties that disfigured and
defaccd the front of Denhof Jew
elry store. on the morning of
the 18th OF August, 1922. And
Be it further Resolved, That this
resolution be published in the
several newspapers for general
circulation to the public.

The Old Home

I long for the spring at the foot OF
the hill
Where the willow trees bend, and
a flutter- mill
Flashes and sparkles in the morn
ing sun,
And a barefoot boy wades in the
run
OF the crystal stream which flows
through the walloWs
To the bulrush bank where the
bullfrog hollers.
long for the house on the top of
the hill
Where the hickory trees stand tan
and still,
And the mocking bird in cedar
tree
Carols and trills so soulfully.
Oh, there | could forget this
worlds alarms
And bury my head in my mother :
arms.
No marble adorns this house on the
hill,
It's glory is the glory of pace
good will, .,
And quiet contentment and faith
in God,
With blessings from trees ana
grain and sod
Would God l could fly there
through times dim gap
And lay my tired head in my ola
mothers lap.

He was born at Louisville, Ky,
May 6, 1862, and is a University of

to the bar in Birmingham in 1884
when Birmingham was merely a

When the possibilities panned big
he panned with them. From the
