Ii is "AnOther Fellow"

The many friends (who wish to
borrow money and others who don't)
of j. e. Skipper. suave cashier of the
Fidelity Trust Company, were sur
prised to read in the Tampa papers
of Monday and Tuesday that he had
been appointed by the bishop who
was presiding over the Methodist con-
ference in that city, as pastor of the
Brooksville mission of the Ocala dis
trict. The idea of Jon Skipper quit
ting the banking business to become
a Methodist preacher was a surprise
indeed. Since the report was pub
lished, he has had to explain to num-
erOus inQuireTs that 1t is another
fellow" of the same name who has
been selected to preach at Brooks
Vile; and he has added to his eX-
PLANTATION the statement that there is
still another fellow" of the same
name over on the East Coast for
whose payments on property bought
over there he, our Jon, is being Civ
en- credit by an East Coast bank,
which sends him receipts for the pay
ments.

There was plenty doing Friday
night last, to interest the whole COM
munity. The ladies of the Presby-
terian church served an excellent
dinner to a big crowd in the lower
hall of the Masonic building, while
upstairs the Eastern Star was hold
ing an interesting meeting. The
Plaza theatre was entertaining a
large audience with two thrilling pic
lures, ald at the same time more
than a hundred participants and
spectators were enjoying a street
dance on Marian avenue between the
Smith hotel and the Charlotte Drug
Company's store. Festivities galore
may be expected from now till the
end of next week.

Red rot of sugar cane can be con-
trolled by planting only healthy
canes, by dipping the seed stalks just
before planting in bordeaux mixture
or by planting the cane in fall or
early winter (before frost kills it,

In point of fact, the franc to-day pur-
chases about 40 per cent. value of its par

The formula was nothing more or less
than mayonnaise. Instead of the white
or the yoke of the egg alone as basis for
tempera, Cennini used both together,
mixed with them little oil and vinegar
and, presto! he had an excellent mayon-
naise and the ideal tempora medium.
Mr.. Hale has made excellent use of the
simple Cennini formula, improving and
adapting some of it to modern needs.
Pounding and mixing all Of his colors him
self, Mr. Hale puts emphasis on the crafts
manship side of his mural painting. He
mixes his plaster with the proper color and
then lays it on bit by bit, working from
the upper corner downward.

Man in the image of God. Anatomists find
that the primitives elongated their saints
and made their martyrs too thin. All this
suggested aloofness from carnal things
rather than fidelity to anatomy. Realists
laugh at these early landscapes because
they seem unreal. The artist, however
was expressing the mood of his saint, and
his landscape usually reflected some inner
soul struggle.
This modern man, too, disdains land
scape and anatomy as such. He is inter-
ested in the mood of his picture sand gives
it the landscape which best harmonizes
with it. AT the same time he does not for
get that he is decorating a room and not
preaching a sermon. His panels are es
sentially decorative. He conventionalized
mountains and water better to block out

States Government bonds during our civil
war.
In our bank panic of 1907 the Bank of
France placed tens of millions of dollars in
American gold eagles which were in its
vaults at the disposition of the Bank Of
England, which was trying to ease the
strained situation.
In spite of the gold indemnity of $1,1OO,-

Germany, after the war of 1870, and in spite
of having had 70 pay by herself for her own

living; and they are earning their living
now, and expect to pay their Governments
debts. They only ask that English and
Americans shall not mix up very different
things to their disadvantage when talking
about them.
When it is said that the French Govern
ment faces a deficit and that its budget
does not balance that means it does not re-
ceive enough money in taxes from its
citizens to pay it's expenses. Now, the
French people do pay enough money in
taxes to Government to settle all such ex-
penses as the Governments of the United
States or England have to meet. The deficit

four seasons, which Hale has done have
been on canvas in an entirely different
mood and were designed for a breakfast
room in the Spaulding villa in Florence.
These panels have something of Vatican
in the diversions of elegant ladies and
gentlemen in pastoral landscape. Dining
on the grass, the young swain playing
guitar; fishing in fountain belong to the
graceful, futile pastimes which were dear
to Vatican. But the toilers in the back
ground are plowing a real field, not
Watteau mist. The olive trees are laden
down with garlands of real grapes and
the plowed burrows have more in them of
Van Gogh's hard lines than of the soft
dawn of a court painter in the rocco
period. The costumes have something in
them of the period.

T KNOW OF a great American business
in Fra~ce that had to be closed up
some time before the war. The turn
over had been annually more than 3,000,0 600
francs, then equivalent to 5000, 200. Ac-
until the impatient head office in New York
ordered that everything remaining should
be written off as bad debts. Now the
amount still outstanding is $4,000 francs. or
about $500. The representative in Paris
insisted that efforts should still be con-
tinued to collect these small accounts, say
ing: "It would be scandal for American
business not to do So" Before the business
year was over all had been collected with
the exception of 800 francs. or $50.
This is a striking example for the present
difficulties - after the war. The French
complain that they are not having a fair
deal in the foreign press 1t is forgotten
that before the war they had the most
money per head, and money most evenly
distributed among the population, of all ma
tions. In proportion to their number, they
loaned more money TO other countries, gov
ernments and public works and companies
than any other people. The great loan
bank, the Banque de Paris, which is now
behind the French Standard Oil, was per-
haps the first in Europe to place United
