AMERICUS DAUGHTERS
INTERESTED IN MOVEMENT.

Letters have been received by tht
president of the Americas chapter OF
the Daughters of the Confederaes
which have aroused great amount
OF enthusiasm among the member
ship who stand ready to do then
part toward contributing to the Geor.
gia Room mentioned in the letter
which follows:
Hawkinsville, Ca, March 1, 1922.
Dear Madam President:
VIII you please remind your
chapter Of the following few facts
concerning the Georgia Room in
the Confederate museum at Rich
mond?
The idea of converting the
White House of the Confederaey"
into Confederate museum orig
mated with the patriotic band of
women, the Confederate Memo
rial Literary Society" Of Rich
mand, and because of their efforts
the City of Richmond presented to
them in 1890 that historic build
I ing, to be used for that wonderful
purpose.
On February %, 1895, it was for
mally presented to the public.
The society soon realized that to
perpetuate that memorial of the
Confederacy that an endowment
fund would be necessary, and
S2O00,000.00 was deemed ample.
Every Confederate state was al
lotted room, and was asked to
subscribe 100000 as their quota
of the general endowment fund;
this to provide indefinitely, care of
relics and mementoes and safe
keeping of all records and histori-
cal data Of that state. There, kept
in honored memory, are the rec
ords of your kinsmen and of mine.
For twcnty-seven years the
Georgia Division U. D. G. has been
listlessly subscribing to Gcorgia's
quota. In the twenty-seven years
we have given just $1,755.66.
Do you think that we have been
quite keeping the faith?
Why are we SO slow to fulfill
so sacred an obligation?
The Georgia Division U. D. C.
has many great achievements to it's
credit. 1t has bestowed many
bounteous gifts, erected many
monuments, endowed scholarships
and aided unnumbered charities,
out-it has failed in its duty to the
Georgia Room.
In 1921 only fifty of the hum
dred and twenty-five chapters of
the Georgia Division subscribed to
the fund for the Georgia Room.
We are still due ST. ,244.34. Why
can't we pay it all this year?
The Waycross convention rec
commended that Georgia's quota Of
the General Endowment fund for
the Confederate museum be COM
pleted. Maybe it will be the sup
I port that you chapter gives that
will make it possible to wipe out
this blot ON the escutcheon of the
Georgia Daughters of the Confed-
eracy.
Faithfully yours,

STRANGE rIFE in CAVES

One would hardly look for new
forms of animal life in a vast, dark
cavern like the Mammoth cave of
Kentucky. Yet, as a matter of fact,
no less than seven such forms in
habiting that particular cave and
hitherto unknown to science have
been described within recent years.
The fact that these creatures are
very minute does not detract from
their scientific interest, while, on
the other hand, it must increase our
admiration for the skill and indus
try of the naturalists, who do not
allow even microscopic life to escape
their ken, although hidden in places
where no ray Of sunlight ever pene-
trates.

Order to Show Cause Why order of

Not Be Made.

In the Probate Court of Lewis County
State of Idaho.
In the matter of the estate of Maria
E. Sanford, deceased.
p. w. Mitchell, the administrator of
the estate of Maria E. Sanford, de-
ceased, having filed in this court his
petition duly verified, praying for an
order of sale of all of the real estate
of said decedent for the purposes
therein set forth,
1t is therefore ordered that al! per
sons interested in the said estate of
said decedent, appear before this Pro-
bate Court on the 18th day of July,
1929, at the hour of 10 o'clock, a. M,
Of said day, at the courtroom of said
court at the courthouse in the Village
of Nezperce, County of Lewis, State
of idaho, to show cause why an order
should not be granted to the said adj
ministrator to sell all of the real es
tate of the said decedent, and that a
copy of this order be published at least
four successive weeks in the Nezperce
Herald, newspaper printed and pub
lished in said County. The real estate
hereinbefore referred to is particularly
described as follows, to-wit:
The northeast quarter of the north
east quarter of section SO, township
33, north of range 2 E. B. NJ, Lewis
county, Idaho, containing 40 acres.

Since the beginning of the race a
portion of it has ever been ready to
leave the beaten path and follow
"new gods. OF course this is one
way of finding out, of developing
and also of proving the genuineness of
the old, established customs. Exper-
fence has proven that the surest way
plan of having laws made to meet the
needs of one or another class, in this
as other states, is by working with or
through one of the two dominant pol
itical parties. True, this route is often
long and tedious, but the other is very
much more so.

In his speech ON the pending tariff
bill Senator F. R. Gooding says
Honesty in the tariff law is all the
farmer asks Right you are, Sena
tor That is all any one could ask
But, do you know, the farmer and all
the rest of the family are somewhat
sensitive about their standards of hon
esty. They feel quite sure this law
which arbitrarily takes from the farm
er what is justly his and gives it to
few rather over-indulged manufac-
turers is just little bit the mean
kind of dishonesty. The process is
favored with a sort Of underhanded-
ness that Americans have genuine
loathing for, once the truth is known.
The trainers of this tariff law and its
manufacturer beneficiaries know bet
ter than any one else that its intents
and purposes are not honest-not a
square deal particularly for the farm
er. The proof of this fact is too pat
ent to longer expect the great Ameri-
can producing and laboring classes to
deliberately swallow the sugar-coated
pill. They are aware of the nauseat
ing bitterness inside. This tariff tax
is no longer political measure. 1t is
more or less fostered by members of
both great political parties in this
country, but always to selfish, dishon-
est ends.

A certain class of Americans are
nutty on the subject of tipping. They
are not only nutty, but they are a
nuisance to the rest of mankind. This
tip is an established institution in
many of the old countries, but they
use their brains there as well as their
money. Where an American would
tip quarter or half dollar, the for
eigner in his own country would hand
over one or two cents. And they get
just as much for their copper as the
splurger does for his silver. There
ought to be law forbidding tipping
of every nature and fixing Jail SEN
tence for both the giver and the re-
ceiver. When man goes into a no.
tel and registers he expects to pay the
proprietor the established price of his
board and lodging. He should not be
required to pay also the the waiter,
and the chambermaid, and the eleva-
tor man, and the bellhop in order to
secure the attention and service to
which every guest is entitled Tip
ping is degrading. to both the giver
and the receiver. 1t should be abol-
ished by law, since so many do not
possess either brains or the nerve to
abolish it by custom.

MORAL COUARACE
Copyright. 1922. by Edgar A. Guest.

There's courage that is greater than the test of fire
and sword
There's greater proof Of mette than the battleelds
afford,
And would that msht teach it to that boy of mine
today
So that he may weaken he goes along his way
It's the courage of conviction that stand the cruel
gaff
And dare to do the right thing when his thoughtess
paymates laugh.
want to have him sturdy and hope he'll never show
The pale cheek of the coward when he has to take
blow.
hope he will not whmper and too bitterly complain
When his wish is disappointed and dream he fails to
gain.
But above this outward courage and beyond this sign
of fear,
hope he'll stand undaunted when his thoughtless fell
lows sneer
When his gang is all against him-thats the time I
want him true.
When his playmates urge upon him what he knows is
wrong to do,
When he's taunted with derson, then want him at
his best
For spite all that he must cope with, this is boyhoods
hardest test,
And the greatest proof of courage to stand and take
the gaff
And dare to do the right thing when his thoughtless
playmates laugh.
