MARTIN AMOROUS
MAY Be APPOINTED
ON RESERVE BOARD
Amorous Made Strong Impression
On Board BY Argument He
Made Few Weeks Ago.

Washington, March 31.-With the
withdrawal of A. A. Elmore from the
race for the dirt farmer appointment
on the federal reserve board, Martin
F. Amorous, of Cobb county. is in
strong position. 1t is predicted by
some farm leaders and also by mem
bers of congress that the Georgia
man will finally land the plum. Mr..
Amorous made a profound impress
sion on the board few weeks ago,
when he urged certain fundamental
changes in the treatment of Cooper
atlve agricultural paper. While his
views have not been adopted as the
permanent policy of the federal re-
serve board, it is known that Acting
Governor Plat and other members
are going carefully over the plans
suggested.
Elmore withdrew from the race
when it was discovered that under the
ASuCA al lSoSINS dCC He COulu not leg
ally be appointed. No more than
one man can be appointed from any
reserve district and the twelfth, in
which he has his voting residence,
has member in the person of DR..
Miller, Of San Francisco.
The president has more than once
stated that he desired to name
southern man. He would have APP
pointed Gus Shaw, Of Texas, but for
the fact that strong objections were
urged against him by some farm or
ganization leaders. But nobody
seems to be offering any objection
to Mr.. Amorous. On the contrary,
there is pretty general trend in his
direction. He seems to be satisfac-
tory to agriculture in all important
sections of the country.
No official statement has so fer.
been issued by the responsible heads
of farm organizations in Washington,
but friends of Amorous are enc0ur-
aged by the fact that the relations
subsisting between him and Charles
S. Barrett, president of the National
Farmers union, are Of the most cor
dial character. 1t is believed that
Barrett would be pleased to see his
friend on the federal reserve board,
but the farm leader declines at pres
ent to talk for publication.
1t is contended among the friends
of the Georgia man that he knows
more about banking in it's relation to
the farming industry than any man
in the United States. And it is point
ed out that cotton, the most import
ant staple in the country, is not now
represented on the board. The pres
ident himself has recognized this
glazing injustice to the south and if
the farm leaders show genuine in
clination to support Mr.. Amorous,
the wrong, will to certain extent at
least, be righted.
81 know the president wants cot
ton to be represented on the federal
reserve board" said western sena-
tor, very close to the chief executive,
"and / know of no reason why he
should not go to Georgia for his
man. The only reason a southerner
was not appointed when Mr. Camp
bell got the post was that no out
standing representative Of Dixie had

Reverend ]. w. Harris Fails to Prove
His Charge Against Memorial Church

their answer admit the pastor was
discharged, but aver 1t was justified
fby conduct unbecoming of q pastor
OF the church. They also allege that
they refused to permit him to enter
the church because he threatened to
carry away property of the church.
They deny that they threatened him
with violence, but assert that the
pastor violated the contract by his
conduct. 1t also is alleged that he
borrowed $40 from the congregation
to pay on an automobile and that he
did not repay.
The church flrst came into the
iimelight when members of the con-
gregation sought an injunction in
district court more than a year ago,
asking that the former pastor, Rev.
T. j. Carr, be enjoined from assum-
ing further the duties of pastor or
preacher of the congregation. Rev.
Mr.. Carr, ousted by court order, was
succeeded by Rev. Mr.. Harris.
The latter was charged last fall by
members OF the congregation with
forging the signature of the treasur-
er to a check for s25 payable to the
church, but was acquitted of the
charge by jury. The case was con-
tinued until Tuesday before Judge
Bechhoefer. who granted the motion
of w. T. Francis and John r. Dono-
hue for the church, for direct ver-
dict in favor of the church. In the
claim of Rev. Harris, alleging breach
of contract, Judge Bechhoefer held
he had failed to make case.

WEALTH
By WILL M. MAUPIN

THERE'S wealth enough for all Of
us,
If wealth we want to win,
Just waiting for the call Of us,
For men to gather in
Enough to have. enough to hold,
And wealth enough to share,
For weak and strong, young and old.
Just waiting everywherei
There's friendship for beginning with,
A golden JOY, a friend;
For what's the use Of winning with
No comrade at the end7
So find a comrade heart and mind,
They come so easily
For all you need friend to find
Is just friend to bel
And there's a wealth that's nearer
yet,
A love that's near you now,
There's some one closer, dearer, yet
To whom you made vow.
The love of husband, love Of wife,
No purer gold is found
SO gather love to light your life,
It's waiting all aroundI
The wealthy are not many, one
Who calls a million his;
But wealth will come to anyone
Who knows just what 1t Is.
For wealth Is happy heart and mind,
It's laughter, love and song
And, at the last, the only kind
That you can take along!

INDIAN UPRISING PUT DOWN
Notable Battle Between Aborioinss
and spanIards Recorded In His
tory Of Durango, Mexlco.

The name Of the little settlement
Of Tepehuantes, in Durango, Mexico,
recalls one Of the earliest events In
Durango's recorded history, a bulletin
of the National Geographic society
remarks 1t was the tribe which gave
the name to the village which, with
the Tarahumares arose against the
Spanish settlers four years before
Plymouth colony was founded. In
that year some 25.000 Indians Of these
two tribes marched on Durango city.
They killed missionaries and burned
down churches as they moved. Not
more than 600 white people withstood
this siege, and even allowing for an
exaggeration In their estimate Of 15,-
600 of their enemy killed, the white
mans victory was terrible lesson
to their assailants.
These tribes had a beverage, tes-
vino, peculiar to them--a beer, of
milk and water hue-made from
maish corn and grass seed.
The descendants of these Indians
retain symbols introduced by early
missionaries, but little OF Christianity.
When they worship pagan gods before
a Christian cross they pour out iba,
tons Of tesvino. They feed 1t to in
fants along with their mothers milk
to ward Off sickness. They use 1t as
a liniment, and take 1t internally for
every Ill. They employ 1t at orgies
with no thought Of debauchery, for
such orgies are part Of their worship.

wild Spirit" Advances illumination


Mans eternal search for riches and
the futile endeavors Of alchemists to
change the baser metals into gold, led
to the accidental discovery Of artificial
gas.
John Baptist van Helmont Of Brus-
sells studied and practiced medicine,
and later turned to chemistry and re
search work In the Seventeenth Gen.
tery. In the course Of his e. .,eri.
ments with fuels in 1909 he discovered
that they yielded what he described as
"a wild spirit" He found that this
spirit" could be produced by means
Of combustion, fermentation and the
action Of acids on limestone.
So phantom-like and elusive was Van
Helmont's discovery that he named II
after "geist," the old German word
for spirit. II was nearly 200 years af.
ter Van Helmont's discovery that
practical steps were taken to harness
this elusive spirit.

tie body against himself. Doris looked
away for one long moment. and when
she looked into the crib the little body
once more lay white and still.
Two weeks later a white-faced WON
an and a grave, silent man sat alone
In the moonlight. Their souls were
full of grief, but they were young, and
when you are young life Is sweet, even
though touched with sorrow or with
bitterness.
The girl was the first to break the
silence. "Jack, dear, long ago you
said that real love was gained only by
sacrifice. didn't know what you meant
then. 7 am just beginning to under.
stand. You meant. dear, that we
should give up, or be willing to give
up, things we loved-be willing to sac
rifice anything, or do anything for the
other. But, Jack. we have now; We
have sacrificed the one we loved best.
We have sacrificed our darling for
each other. Don't you see, dear? You
didn't give him up for me, nor did I
give him up for you, but we both gave
him up for each other"
"Yes, Doris, and when you make
such big sacrifice, the biggest posi-.
BILE, the love ought to be the same,
dear-the biggest. the best, also"
In the moonlight Doris eyes slowly
filled with tears. But behind them
there was a new light, light of glory,
sweetness, love and the beauty Of life.
Jack drew her tight into his arms, and
his lips touched her dusky hair, then
they both looked away into the dark
ness to where little Dick slept.
And although he was no longer with
them, his memory was dear, and his
spirit seemed to be ever near, all about
them, softening their sorrow and help
ing to increase the new love that he
had created.

THINGS WORTH DOING

TT IS easy to sit and watch others
= work. But we know Of no employ
or who viii pay you wages for doing
it. unless you know how to do the
work yourself and are working hard
at the Job Of supervising 1t.
1t Is easy to travel about the world
on steamships and parlor cars; very
pleasant and profitable to the man
with an inquiring mind.
But that Is vacation occupation,
and unless you have earned the money
to do It by hard work you will get lit
tie out of 1t.
1t is easiest Of all to feel sorry for
yourself and to think that you haven't
had q fair chance In life, and that
you'd have been a big success II you
hadn't met with 50 much injustice and
bad treatment.
But that will get you only unhap-
piness, which Is the least desirable
thing in all the world.
There are many things In life that
are well worth doing, but none of
them are easy.
The first-class fiction writer takes
delight In his Job, but he also works
at 1t, harder than any man who Is not
a frst-class fiction writer ever dreams
Of doing.
The great tenor finds pleasure In
his Job and incidentally In the money
he gets from 1t.
But he works about six or seven
hours q day at q time, and In earlier
life he worked ten or twelve hours
receiving far less pay for exactly as
good music.
II good jobs were to be had by lit.
tie effort practically everybody would
have good job. The reason that
they are so few. and that so many of
those few are not filed, is that all OF
them demand the hardest kind Of hard
work, not only to get but to keep
them.
Genius, which Is said to know how
to do things before 1t is born, has to
work Just as hard az medlocrity to
gain and keep success.
Nothing you can think Of that

plished without more work than most
Of us can contemplate without getting
tired at the mere thought Of 1t.
Yet people are doing 1t right along
