In test of direct comparison, made last night at
the High School, before large audience, Thomas A.
Edisons new phonograph scored a complete and con-
vincing triumph.
Glen Ellison, the famous baritone, sang in direct
comparison with the Edison Records of his voice on
the New Edison. To every there no difference
between his living voice and his RE CREATED voice.
This is the most drastic phonograph test known
No other phonograph has sustained it. No other
phonograph has ever attempted it.
The New Edison's marvellous performance of yes
terday vindicates everything that has been said
claimed for it's perfect realism.
Glen Ellison stood on the stage next to shapely
Chippendale cabinet. He began to sing. His vibrant
voice scared over the auditorium, bringing all under
it's magic SPELL
Halfway through his song he suddenly stopped

Fifty Years Ago

In celebration of its fiftieth annivers-
AIRY, the Weakley County Press pub
lished at Martin Tenn, makes the fol
lowing observation under the title
Fifty Years ago.:
''Have you ever thought about it?
How people used to live fifty years ago.
Perfectly satisfied with whatever they
had. Slept On a straw bed to build a
home Sawed lumber by hand.
Walked seven to ten miles to school or
church. They didn't live with the COM
forts you have when you go on a camp.
They made nearly everything they had.
No trains, autos, electric lights, good
roads or nything but campers life.
Now we must have every convenience
at the tips Of our fingers, or we think
life is hard. Set the modern man back
fifty years and he will die of lonesome
aess.'

4 In town boosting cheerfulness
4 and cordiality have an important
pare. Too often people permit
business cares and worries to
! cause them to forget the strang-
er within the gates and the
friend who passes bv. Many a
man has gained a reputation for
grouchiness who merely has not
thought to be cordial. A smile
carries farther than a frown.
| The visitor in a city is favorably
Impressed if the people he sees
en- the streets are cheerful and
smiling. He at once gains the.
impression that it must be a good
town which has a che erful peo-
pie. The visitor naturally thinks
that a city which offers welcome
in so conspicuous a way means
it. Grouchiness gains nothing
for person. Most people would
prefer ever the Cheerful Idiot"

Are you rearing your boys to
be producers or parasites? This
is a question that ought to be OF
most vital interest to fathers and
mothers. Some parents give
money to.their children to spend
as they wish, and when thosE
same children are grown, will ii
be surprising if they are pooi
managers, knowing nothing OF
good buying and the. fundement-
al principals Of making a dolla,
Go full duty?
1t seems best to encourage
children to earn. When they
earn money it takes less advice
and reasoning to teach them how
to spend it advantageously. Once
the idea is established in their
young minds that to eat we must
work, and each must do his OF
her part no matter how small,
then they soon enoeavor to be-
come producers, even in theii
small way. We've a deal Of re
spect for the boys who delivers
papers or do odd jobs around
town and saves their money. or
spends it wisely. They surely
never will become parasites.
Teach the little people to work
and earn what they get honestly.
The only great men worth while
began with little things in 9
humble way. some had only am
bltion and honesty to. aid them.
yet they achieved the things
they worked for.

THE WORLDS COURT PLAN

Notwithstanding the overwhelming majority piled up by the voters of the United States who were opposed to President Wilson's plan of a League of Nations and a Worlds Court, Presi- dent Harding's eyes turn wistfully to European shores. American diplomats and statesmen have advised Mir. Hard ing of the oblivion that awaits his at tempt to thrust the United States into the demoralized affairs of Europe, but he is determined to not heed the warnings, and, has been plainly point ed out by Republican leaders, any at tempt to incorporate such a plank in the Republican platform will turn the party over, an easy prey to the demo- crats.
 America from time to time has in- terfered in European affairs just long enough to secure fair play for her sai- lors and merchants. She sent fleet to Japan to force the shogun to open the doors to American trade. War was declared on Tripoli when Ameri- can ships and seamen were seized by the bey, and at various other times we have mixed with the counsel of the great in Europe.
 A great majority of the American people believe that we have enough to do to maintain our own government without mixing into European affairs. Anarchy and crime are rampant at home; Bolshevism is spreading like wildfire and the unions and Ku Klux Klan murder at will and unmolested by the authorities Huge combina- tions in restraint of trade are to be found on every hand, and the slimy trail of graft covers hundreds of pub lie offices.
 President Harding can never force the League of Nations down America $ throat, no matter how it is coated or what name it goes under.

NEW YORK, June 15.-The bond

able confidence on the part of the in

issue. offered on a $50 per cent basis
was very promptly sold. The yield
on the California Standard Oil notes
varied with the maturity. but was
only about SIS per cent at the high

been in response to reports about
change of control in the Eric. For
the most part, however, the specula-
tive rails were heavy.
More attention was given today to
the matter of increasing costs.
Traders were inclined to lay stress on
the effect of>higher wages. They also
expressed doubt as to whether traffic
would continue at it's present rate.
Hence, there was a reluctance to spec
ulate in such issues as St Louis. San
Francisco incomes and the Seaboard

OIL Bonds Sell Lower.
Among industrials the Virginia Caro-
