After the New York courts had

BULGARIA WILL
SOLVE OWN
POLICIES
Hands off Attitude Adopted by
Little Entente After SIAM
bouIiskY Fall.
By CONSTANTINE STEPHANOyE
international News Service.

SOFIA, Sept. 17.-BulgaTla, ap-
parently, is to be allowed to settle
her own internal difficulties with
out interference by the Little En-
tente. The conference of the Lit.
tie Entente held recently at Sinaia,
Rumania, after prolonged discus
sion of. Bulgarian affairs, took no
steps toward adoption of definite
policy toward Bulgaria.
Bulgarian statesmen believe that
it was the influence of England
and Italy that caused the Little
Entente nations to decide to keep
hands off Bulgaria's affairs and
give the new government, headed
by Premier Tsankoff, an oppor-
tunity to work out its own saliva
tion. When the Stamboulisky min
istry was overthrown, England and
Italy promptly recognized the Tsan-
koff government, thereby strength
enfng greatly its position among its
Balkan neighbors. France, al
though more or less a sponsor Tor
the Little Entente, likewise showed
no great enthusiasm for any strong
policy toward Bulgaria.
The conference at Sinaia was
convened at the instigation of Ser.
bia and Greece, and its announced
purpose was to take drastic steps
to regulate Bulgaria's internal at
fairs, which were pictured as
chaotic. Bulgarian statesmen con-
fidentIy expected that the Little
Entente would address a strong
note to Sofia threatening invasion
fer alleged violation of treaty obli-
cations, particularly, in connection
with Macedonian troubles in Jugo-
Slavia, which Serbian politicians
always have attributed to Bulgaria.
Another specter which Balkan
statesmen always saw when they
looked toward Bulgaria was that.
Of Bulgarian-B oIshevist alliance,
which was supposed to, have been
a part of the Stamboulisky pro-
gram. The prompt action OF the
Tsankoff government in opposing
the Bulgarian Communists and. in
sending back to Russia the mem
abers of the Soviet Red Cross who
were accused of cloaking propa-
gailda activities in the guise of re-
lief work for exiled Russians, has
slain this specter, however.
; Since the revolution which over
threw Stamboulisky the Tsan 'iuff
government has succeeded in es-
fabIishing order in Bulgaria, and
all departments Of the. government
are said to be functioning smooth.
~ and efficiently.

The story of how invested my
first 81 900 is rather an odd one,
and the circumstances leading up
to this investment were always i'm
teresting to me just about as much
as the investment itself.
There was a man, engaged in the
bucket shop business who was, in
fact, too respectable to be in that
kind of business. He went to his
attorney and said he wanted to
get out of that line Of trade and
go into a legitimate business. At
the time was employed in drug
store and this attorney happened to
know me by. reason of my having
waited upon ehim in the store; so
he arranged a conference between
the broker and myself.

same way, so no introduction was
necessary. In the drug store ]

The consequences was that the
broker and II formed a partner

He died after about three years
and our relations had been so pleas

safe he instructed his executors to
see that the store didn't pass out
of my hands.
At that time, we had only one
store, which was about Is feet wide.

you have bank account with him;
never make business deal without
consulting him. and always let him
know your exact financial condi-
ton. -
Don't endorse the, other fellows
note, and IN turn, don't ask any one
to endorse yours. This will give
you freedom of action, which is
necessary and vital in business.

success in his business, he should
remember that the road to that sue

Coming to District Conven-

COLUMBUS. Sept. 15.-Interna-

of Columbus, Ohio, will come to
. Columbus, Ca, Oct. rs to be pres
ent at the district convention at
the Georgia Kiwanians who viii
come to this city from approximate
ly SO Kiwanis clubs scattered all
over the state, Columbus Roberts,
general chairman Of the local con
vention committee announced here
today. Mrs. Arras will accompany
the international president and an
elaborate program of entertain
ment is being provided for the 500
visitors expected here for the two
day session.
Fred c. w. Parker, the interna-
tional secretary, and International
Trutsee johnson will be other in
ternational officers to visit Column
bus for the big state convention.
All of the international officers
will speak.
The entertainment features sew
eral luncheons, a stunt night and a
great program at Fort Benning,
the $4,000 acre home of the In
fantry school, the greatest school
of arms in the world. The Ben
ming program will be most inter
esting as the work of the school
will be shown in sensational
demonstration taking vetrans
among Kiwanians back to the days
of 1917-18. Golf may be enjoyed
by the visitors while an automo-
bile ride for the others to the
great hydro-electric development
at Goat Rock, near here, and to
the Bibb Manufacturing company,
the largest cotton mill under one
roof in America, will be one of the
features.
The official badges for the visi-
tors are described as the most
beautiful souvenirs ever issued at
any Kiwanis convention attended
by leaders of the local club. They
will make Kiwanis watch fobs and
after the convention is over the
visitors will no doubt use the leath-
er fob straps furnished them on
registering for that purpose.
The convention committee is
meeting twice a week and plans for
entertaining the hundreds are fast
being worked out.
