Seeks to Increase Income

Question: have SO 800 in Liberty bonds
and IN savings banks which is yielding me
s. 200 in good bonds. Am considering
TIE purchase Of ono $500 bond of each Of
1886; United states Rubber rs, due 1880;
New York Iele phone 6s. due 19a1 New
York Edison G@s, duc 1871 Goodyear 'rirc
and Rubber Ss, due l92l; New York Cen
trai collateral rs. due 1890. Would You
tell mo what you think OF the safety Of
each of these. and also about tleir call
a 6lity and whether they can be purchased
in $500 denominations H. l.. S.
Answer-Wc think the bonds you
have selected for purchase arc good in
vcstmcnts for the most part. Western
Union 61as are not callablc before ma
turity. No provision is made for call
ing the United States Rubber 715s,
1889. New York Telephone IS arc call
able az whole only at 100 on or after
October l, 1881. New York Edison 612s
are callable on sixty days published
notice at 105 after October / 1886. The
callable on thirty days notice at 40
after May !, 1922 The New York Cen
trial Is are callable at 100. All of the
above may be obtained in $500 pieces.
The rubber bonds, we believe, arc
slightly less attractive than the others.

WALK ON HOT GOALS
Hindus Dance on Glowing Bed o'
Fire

When a Tamil Hindu RECEIVERS from
n serious illness he sometimes makes
a VOW to do something entailing dis
comfort and pain to himself as a sort
of manifestation of gratitude COM
bined with self-sacrifice and self
abasement, relates the North China
Herald.
These vows take different forms
such as rolling over and over on a
hard metalled road lashing himself OIL
being lashed on, the back or wearing
hair shirt, hut walking over live
Goals is the means most commonly
chosen by the devotee, this being very
often accompanied by other forms OF
self torture.
served for the paying of these vows Is
the occasion of a religious ceremonial
which is knowp to outsiders as the
Fire Walking Festival.
Tuesday, July 10. was the festival
day. last year and the Hindu temple
was crowded. The Tamils present
were not those of the coolie class only
There were shopkeopers, traders, ner-
chants, clerks, and the number of cars
outside testified to the wealth and
position of some of those present.
A little after s o'clocil in the after.
noon the image of the goddess tc
whom these vows are paid was
brought to the temple in procession
those who had vows to pay being
among the immediate escort. Place
was made for these as the procession
entered The temple grounds and ap-
preached the fire"
The fire consisted of a bed of live
Goals about Is feet long and 6 fee
broad. Although it was not glowing
water having been thrown over II
from a little trench at one end-stil
one felt the heat some feet away.
The first man to get over carried @
"pagoda" on his head weighing abou
twenty pounds. He danced over tho
Goals in slow, measured steps. Thi:
method was followed by the other:
also. There was no stepping over the
coal gingerly. Each foot came dowr
as if it's owner trod a cement floor
The fire" was not walked" over
once, but three times.
AS each person left the Goals he
made a circuit of the temple and ther

hotel guests who saw the find, sug-
gcsted that in all PROBABILITY 1t was
cauldron used by the British fcrces IN
cooking while they were encamped on
the mountain in 1880 before the Amer
leans took charge there. 1t was the
concensus of a great many others that
this was probably the case.
Among the guests at the hotel, how
ever, was an old man and who recall
ed the time when numerous moonshine
distilleries were destroyed by prohi-
bition officers operating in that Sec
ton. Since most OF the guests mad
never tasted liquor, which has dlsap-
peared entirely from this country, the
old gentleman's theory was received
with interest Going to his room he re-
turned with several copies OF The
Yorkville Enquirer of the year 1922, IN
which accounts were given Of the seiZ-
IRE of ''moonshine stills in the pat
tleground section. The articles went
on to recitc how the officers shot holes
in the bottoms and sides of the cap
tured copper boilers, making them un-
fit for further use. Following this ex-
PLANTATION all agreed that the copper
bowl found by Mr.. Joelson had once
held the beer from which liquor was
made in those days. The discoverer
presented the queer looking vessel TO
the winthrop historical student, who
will place it in the Winthrop Museum
at Rock Hill.

BOY AND THE DOG.
Kansas Editor nduIses In Excoriation
of City Council

OF City Council.
A boy who would take stray dog to
the city pound to be killed, for a quar-
ter, is too mean to live himself, de-
clares William Allen White, author
and editor, in a statement in his paper,
the Emporia Gazette.
Mr.. Whites protest in behalf of dogs
was evoked by an offer Of % cents a
head for animals brought to the city
pound by boys.
What's the matter with this city
administration anyhow" inquiries the
Kansas author. Were they never
boys? Here they are, advertising to
give boys % cents for each stray
dog brought into the city pound TO be
killed. Doesn't the city administra-
tion know that the boy who would de-
liberately bring a stray dog to the city
pound to be killed for two bits ought
TO be killed himself?
Don't they know that boys are not
so hard hearted? Don't they know that
the average boy would rather earn two
bits moving a lawn, with a straight
string of boys to march by him to the
swimming hole, than sec a stray dog
killed?
THE advertisement had in it the
mcanest inference about Emporia boys
that ever has been made,
Think of the kind of boy who val
ued quarter above the life of a dog
a stray dog-any dog on carth!"

He was thinly clad and hungry,
And bent with the chill OF day.
He wandered on 10 tho poorhouse.
And paused on the porch to rest
And placing his banjo on his knee.
Played the tunes he loved the best
way down upon tho suwanee river.
Far, far away;
There's whore my heart T. turning

That's where tho old folks stay.
Gone are the days when was young
and gay.
Gone are my friends from the cotton

Gone from this world 90 a better land

But he'd been a careless spender.
And hls gold had gone like snow.

He had nowhere else 20 90.
He was ili from cold and hunger;
