What do you think of this,
Yesterday / received the follow
ing from q leading manufactu-
rer in the south, who vouches for
the truth of the story:
Here is q good one: The Rsp-
tists Of South Carolina are hold
ing their annual convention in
Rock Hill this week. One of the
preachers is stopping at j. c.
Hardin's. He has one of your
books, Forbes Programs The
preacher has been reading il re-
hgiously, and yesterday Mr..
Hardin asked him how he liked
it. His reply was: Fine. Il IN
the best book I ever read. / al
ways said old Henry Ford had

Secretary Mellon continues 10
function as noiselessly and as
effectively AZ a Rolls-Royce. He
carries through gigantic financial
operations, running into the hun
dreds Of millions Of dollars, with
out causing q ripple in the
money market and without dis
turbing the even flow of business
in the slightest degree.
His language in his annual re-
port to Congress, issued this
week, is just as quiet as he is
himself-and goes equally TO the
point. The country is doing
quite well, thank you, he de-
clares. And what is equally
cheering to over-burdened tax
payers, he declares that there is
no need for imposing a single
new tax levy. Not only so. but
he strongly urges that the maxi
mum surtax be reduced from SO
per cent to Is per cent on the
ground that this lower rate
would actually bring in larger
revenue because the present ex-
cessive surtaxes have driven
wealthy people into investing
their funds in tax-exempt securi-
ties.
In these days of unbalanced
budgets all over the face of the
earth, it is encouraging to know
that the Treasury figures that
America will have a surplus in
come next year equal to the de-
ficit of the current year.
The United States is still SOL
vent, make no mistake abou.
that.

"MUM" IS NOW QUEEN.
Lovely Fall Flower Used at Many
Social Events.

The chrysanthemum, known as the
autumn queen" is now holding the
floral stage at many dances and re-
ceptions.
No foot ball game is complete with.
out the picturesque bits of color of
the chrysanthemums dotting the
srandstands. They add to the bright
ness and cheer at Christmas events
and holiday festivities
Some sixty-five new varieties of the
earlier-fowering type have been Sc
lected from a total of 10. 600 seedlings
for further tests at the Department
Of Agriculture's Arlington gardens.
1t is possible to cross pollinate by
hand so that two particularly de-
sirable varieties may be mated, but
the department in the main has fol-
lowed the natural scheme of allow
ing the flowers to be pollinated by
the bees
A Home Flower.
The chrysanthemum is a home
flower. as well as commercial one,
and may be grown by any one who
will devote a little time and thought
to it's culture.
The amateur should stick to the
mall-fowered, Z hardy varieties,
known as pompons' or "artemisias"
They are the cheapest and most cas-
lily grown of all the different types.
and will give a bright and colorfui
display in the fall when practically
every other flower has been destroyed
by frost. If they are planted where
they receive some protection from the
wind and weather. near buildings or
sheltered by trees, the season of
bloom will be heightened.
While some seasons of the year are
more favorable than others for max
ing a start in the practical work of
growing chrysanthemums, there IS no
time when something may not be done
toward getting ready. The soil which
they are to occupy should be the first
for the outdoor grow
ers.
During the fall or before freezing
IL the soil where the plants are to be
grown, is not of the right physical
texture. it Is well to secure some suit
able earth or soil and place it over
the space to be used. A clay loan is
generally considered the proper soil,
but should not be a stiff, heavy clay.
Muck. sandy or gravelly soils are not
so good. Soil taken from the top three
or four inches of a pasture field may
be spread over the garden and COW
cred with a thick layer of manure.
The weathering action of the freezing
and frosts will improve the quality Of
the soil through the winter months
and it will be ready for the plants in
the spring.

BUCKALEW TRIAL NOT SET
Army Ex-Captain Wins Plea for
Rehearing. However.

GREENvILLE. S. c.. November A.
Date for the new trial of Capt. Samuel
Buckalew, former United States Army
officer. who, on October IL, was granted
a rehearing Of, his case following his
conviction on October I of ''uttering
and publishing" a forged check. still Is
undecided. it was said here today at
the office of the United States attorney.
Capt. Buckalew was acquitted Of a
charge Of forging a government check
and on the plea that the conviction on
the other charge was contradictory in
it's nature when counts on which he was
acquitted were considered, District
Judge H. H. Watkins ordered the ver-
dict set aside and a new trial granted.
The jury which heard the case of
Capt. Buckalew. in which he acted as
his own attorney, acquitted him of
every charge except the one. The report
that he had been found guilty of forgery
resulted. it was stated today, from con-
fusion of the charges of "uttering and
publishing a forged instrument and
forgery"

STUDY PHONE RECORDS
FOR RATE CUT REPORT
Accountants Will Give Result of
Findings to Utilities
Commission.

Accountants Of the Public Utili-
ties Commission are making a thor
ough study of the records Of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company to determine whether the
commission should approve the
company's request for q reduction
in the rate for unlimited service
from $3.50 to IS a month.
Corporation Counsel Stephens said
today that while the commission
must hold a public hearing before
increasing utility rates, it has dis
cretionary power to reduce fatks
without a hearing.
Reports were in circulation today
that citizens might petition the
commission to hold q public hear
ing before granting the telephone
companys requeee for q decrease
in the unlimited rate.
What the commission desires to
find out is whether the cut in reve-
nue. which the company says it can
stand should be applied entirely
to the unlimited rate or be spread
over the several classes of telephone
service.
A decision probably will be rem
dered next week.

ROME, November 4. - Pope Plus
gave intense interest to every phase
of the armed but peaceful revolution
in Italy which brought. the fascist
exciting days. in which the older
politicians passed from the scene
and the black -snirted followers Of
Mussolni took their places. his holi-
ness received information every hour
from the Vatican secretaries. ever
repeating the desire that bloodshed
might be avoided.
"RevoIutlOn" Brings Rebuke.
A prelate, who. upon viewing the
entry of the fascist troops into
Rome, remarked that "the revolution
had been successful. was rebuked by
the Pope
at is not a revolution. it is merely
a change of government" the Pope Is
reported to have said.
While no official comment Is obtain
able at the Vatican regarding the
advent of Mussolini to power. those
close to the Pontiff say that the policy
of the holy see will not be affected by
the change in the political life OF
Italy. The Vatican policy remains one
of dignity, silence and aloofness.
Surprise to Holy See.
The interest of the Pope in the po-
litical crisis was quickened when the
fascist adjourned their congress at
Milan. The resignation OF the Facta
government was surprise to the
holy see, which had only little

the information that a state Of siege

R{S|STS JURISDICTION
OF new YORK COURTS
Mexico to Contest the Attachment
of Government Funds and
Property.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the AsSocia ted Press.
NYACk, n. Y. November 4--The
Mexican government, through it's at
torneys. will contest the jurisdiction
of the New York courts over it's prop
crty and funds in this state. it is
learned here.
Attorneys for the Mexican govern
ment will appear before Justice
Arthur S. Tompkins in special term
of the supreme court of Rockland
county and argue on the motion for the
Oliver American Trading Company to
show cause why the writ attachment the
company obtained from Justice Tomp-
kins against Mexican government prop
erty and funds in New York city should
! not be vacated
The writ already has been modified
so far as the Mexican consulate is
concerned as the result of protests
TO the State Department at Wash
ington. but the Mexican governments
financial agency, the office of the
Mexican National railways and MeXs
lean funds in a number of New York
banks and oil companies still remain
under attachment.
Attorneys for the Oliver American
Trading Company. which claims
S1.25O.000 damages from the Mexican
government for loss of bcomotives
furnished, argued in the original ap-
plication that the Mexican govern
ment. unrecognized by the United
States. had only the standing of a
foreign corporation in the New York
courts and could be sued as such.
