IN MEMORIAM.

WHEREAS, The melancholy event
of the tragic death of Charles II.
Younl.in having occurred on Novem-
Der 81, 1923, and the officers Of the
First State Bank of Grantsville, Ma
ryland, sharing in the grief of the
community and desiring to manifest
their sensibility upon the occasion Of
this bereavement, therefore be it
Resolved, By the Board of Direc-
tors of the First State Bank here in
formal session assembled this 4th day
of December, 1923, that copy of the
following appreciation of Charles II.
Younkin be spread upon the minutes
of this bank:
When the First State Bank
was organized in 1910, Charles
H. Younkin became one of the
charter members of the board of
directors. Nothing more forci-
BILE can be said to show the spirit
with which he always entered
into any enterprises designed to
help his community. From the
date of the organization to the
day of his death Charles Younkin
remained a member of the board
of directors and during all these
years the steadying influence of
his conservative hand in direct
ing the affairs of the bank has Ill
timately resulted in greater use
fulness for the institution.
Charles H. Younkin was alike
in his public and private affairs
conservative, substantial and
man whose greatest delight was
days work well done. He was a
staunch anchor in the commu-
nifty, and his ever pleasant greet
ing, his skill in his line of en-
deavor, his practical viewpoint
on all things looking towards the
betterment of his native county
and town and his constant ex-
ample of tn etruth of the maxim
that "to labor is to praise" made
such a place for him in the hearts
of his townspeople that his
presence will be sorely missed
and long remembered.
And be it further resolved That the
secretary of the board of directors
of the First State Bank be requested
to transmit copy of these resolutions
to Mrs. 4Ounkin and to assure her
of the profound sympathy of the
board for her deep personal affiiction
and of their sincere coincidence for her
great bereavement, and that a COPY of
these resolutions be published in each
of the county newspapers.

is ANOTHER WAR COMING?

In its weekly trade letter issued last
Friday by the c. A. Turner Co., hard
ware dealers, Pittsburgh, Pa, the
writer, we believe, got at the heart of
the matter in the following terse and
highly commendable resume of the
situation now confronting the world:
We believed we fought the last
war to "Make the World Safe for
Democracy" and to end wars,
but we were fooled; in reality
we fought to prevent Germany
from wrestling the commercial
and military supremacy of the
World from England, and it cost
10 million killed, 20 million woun-
ded and 1876 billion dollars, not
to mention the untold destruction
of capital. England and France
are now quarreling over the d.
vision Of the spoils; England
took the merchant ships and Col
onies of Germany and France was
to have been paid mostly by a
cash indemnity which Germany
has as yet not produced. France
unexpectedly seized the Ruhr and
with it the commercial supremacy
of Europe, the very thing for
which England had fought, Eng
land is willing to fight again
rather than let France keep the
Ruhr, so another war seems inev-
liable. We. alone, are able to
finance this threatened War, so
we find the heroes of France and
England travelling through our
country in special trains making
a bid for our support.
Don't be influenced by propa-
ganda; if we speak loudly enough
and quickly enough there will be
no war. Let's tell them to pay
back the IS billions we loaned
them to fight the last war before
we finance the next one. Do you
know that the head Of the aver
age American family, for genera
tions to come, must pay $4,000
extra taxes per year for the last
war? Tell your representatives
in Congress what you want them
to do.

J
 That an immediate and, searching Investigation would be made of the whipping of Jesse Warren, young farmer, who was taken from the home of his sister-in-law, by a masked mob on the night of July 8 and then compelled to leave the state was the emphatic declaration of i. county Solicitor Addison White to- day. MT. White declared that no in- formation had been furnished him with reference to the outrage prior to the newspaper account of the af- fair and said great secrecy had been preserved by the people of the neigh borhood. There were said to have been between 30 and 40 men in the mob, the fact that nothing was heard of the affair before Monday was the cause of wonder.
 An investigation will be set under way with a view to getting every possible witness before the next grand jury in Huntsville. The cause for the mistreatment of Warren Is unknown.

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU 1
 THE AGE-HERALD l Mont oOmery Alb JuIv Qf |


 The house of representatives this afternoon passed the bill of Repre- sentative Charles Tanning of Walker county. giving all Confederate vet efans pension of S25 a month, re- moving property claissifications which have hitherto prevented vet efans holding property above a cer- tain figure from drawing pension.
 Confederate veterans widows are given raise of $10 per quarter In the bill, which contains the same pro- vision as in the existing law that widows who married veterans since 1905 shall not benefit from the pro- visions of the act.
 Representative Tanning made an eloquent appeal on behalf of the vet erans, and the bill passed without a vote being cast against 1t. The house siashed salaries provided for state employees engaged in handling the pension fund.- however. The chief clerk engaged in this work at present receives $1.S00 and stenographer S1,200, while the chief examiner of public accounts got $500 for work in connection with the pension fund. The bill as reported, and passed, elim- mated this last item, but provision was at first made for raising the pay of the chief clerk to $2,400 and stenographer to S1,500. When ob- jection was raised to these figures, Representative Tyler Goodwin of Montgomery sought to effect com promise by fixing the chief clerks salary at 5000 instead. The house adopted an amendment by Represent- ative John E. Deloney cutting the chief clerks salary to S1,500, $500 less than he gets now and leaving ti. stenographer's salary at $1.200 as 1t Is now.
