THE COUNTRY HOME
~ w !" SA
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON,

Southern school children are like Southern
States Rights politicians, they are inimical
to Lincoln. Even Southern school history
avoids the real subject so far as possible
While the nation at large is talking about
union and brotherly affection there are peo
pie who get behind the smoke screen and feed
the flame with oil to prevent the fire Of seces.
sion from going out.
This holiday question is worth discussion.
1t costs great deal in money The per diem
Of the school business in Georgia would be a
surprising exhibit in cold cash 1t is nowhere
mentioned that LAY will stop, where no school
is the order Of the day, with holidays or ex-
ira days.
If the taxpayers were wise they would call
for the expense account of such HOLIDAYS and
call halt
The laXity to the money outgo should
be reformed and when the holiday. comes
along in the latter part of any week that
part Of the week is lost, as two DAYS thus
omitted, because these so-called holidays
extending over until the beginning of the next
week.
General Lees birthday is Georgia holiday,
not national holiday. If General Lee had
lived to advise his people during the years
since his death, he would have given real ad.
vice. for genuine patriotism and permanent
peace.
he went OUT ol IHe Union, very reluctantly,
and with his clear vision, he would know the
danger of disunion in the Southern States
the second time. General Lee dead is made
to represent great many things by public
speakers of this day and time, that General
Lee would not father under present condi.
lions. His respect for General Grant at APP
pomattox would have equaled General Grant
very honorable treatment of the survivors of
the Army of Virginia. Let the holidays speak
out for patriotism and peace, even in Georgia,
or omit Lincolns holiday for all time

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

Even if man is poor thinker he may
be good whistler.
Civilization compels the savage, to work
for his daily bread.
No point of order is in order when a
woman has the floor.
Only a foolish person is sensitive to the
ridicule of fool.
A man can't be thankful if he's caught
with the goods on him.
The prettier girl the more often she
wants to be told about it.
Don't worry about the mislaid bills; they
are sure to show up in due time.
Instead OF remaining at the bottom of the
ladder some men crawl farther down.

Fruits of the Ruhr Thrust

rT HERE much conjecture over Pre-
mier- Poncares reference to a certain
member of the international expert
committee on PREPARATIONS who recently
knowledged to a French colleague, 1--WE
should have been unable to reach our pres
snt results were you not in the Ruhr." Who
said it? The Paris "Matin" ascribed the
remark to Mr.. Reginald McKenna, the Brit
ish member of the committee; while the
semi-official Havas news agency inferred
that it was the American. General Charles
G.. Dawes. 1t may we'll have been both. Mr..
McKenna does not disavow the statement.
General Dawes, upon being queried by the
Associated Press, declared Enthusiastically:
Certainly, | said it. If the French were
not in the Ruhr, we experts would not be
here; the state of mind both of the Ger
mans and of the French, would have been
unchanged"
The thrust into the Ruhr though regard
ed with widespread misgiving a year ago,
IL now generally conceded to have been
step toward stable adjustment of the long
agitated and then seemingly hopeless repa-
rations problem. The French may have ad
ventured more wisely than they knew; GER
tainly, they have learned lessons as useful
as those they have taught. For Europe
and the world at large, however, the i'm
portant fact is that whereas there was
prospect of settlement in the beginning
of 1928, the outlook today is distinctly en-
couragng TIL committee of able econo-
msts with whom General Dawes is serving
as the United States unofficial representa-
tive, believe that they have worked out
Allies. Such an achievement, with its vast
reinsurance to civilization, would never have
been possible long German leaders,
and particularly the great lndustrialists,
were unconvinced of the absolute necessity
of paying indemnities as the price of peace
and reconstruction.
German policy was predicated upon be-
lief that France in selling the Ruhr would
ALLEVIATE British and American sympathy to
such an extent that she eventually would
have to withdraw, or else lose the goodwill
of the more influential part of the world 1t
appears, indeed, that Berlin once hoped for
actual Intervention from London aud Wash
ington, and confidently expected decisive
break in the Allied circle There was ire
mendous drive of antiFrench ganda on
both sides OF the Atlantic, but without the
results which Hugo SHINES and his political
agents desired. Britain, though declining to
follow France, would not oppose her; and
America though doubling that the Ruhr ex-
petition would serve in itself to collect the
overdue Preparations, did not challenge its
legality. SO the experiment was left to work
itself out. The years developments we'll
warrant General Dawes statement to the
French member OF the international COM
mittee: I'VE should have been unable to
reach our present results, were you not in
the Ruhr." Not in vain has been the under
taking which has convinced Germany that
separations must be paid, and which also has

SHERIFF IN YORK STATE
 INSISTS ON BATHING SUITS
Garden of Eden Style Held Too Old Fashioned for Cuddcback-
 vile Canal.

New York. Aug. i5.-Orange coun,s boasts a certain fredom of thought and denies any slavery to conventions, but even Orange county finally drew back its skirts at the behavior of per- sons bathing in the old Delaware and Hudson canal at Charlottesville. What California does with the one-piece suit Is all right with Orange county. They'll keep pace with any state in the union. But the disposition of many of the bathers to emulate Adam and Eve-in the pools of Eden was a bit too much.
 So yesterday Shcrif James Tweed assumed the role of censor Taking with him Deputies Percival Barrett and William Clark, he descended on the canal. The bathers acted in their accustomed fashion and the Sheriff agreed with the complainants. He turned his shocked eyes away and called for Deputies Fred Du Bois and Gabriel Card. To them he intrusted the delicate mission of seeing that the swimmers were clothed and he ordered them to patrol the canal un- til the first freeze.

Manila, Aug. 15.-Approximately 200 secret and fraternal societies are now in existence in the Philippines, according to an official report by the intelligence office of the Philippine Constabulary, which asserts that most of the labor troubles in Manila as we'll as in the provinces are due to the activities of these societies. The report also declares that the agrarian troubles which flare up at intervals are attributable to these so- cieties.

CURB REVIEW

New York. Aug. 15.-A feeling of greater confidence was created on the curb exchange in connection with the petroleum industry because of the Standard Oil dividend declarations to- day when the New Jersey and Ohio companies both declared the regular dividends and offset the influence of the suspension on Standard Oil of Kansas and Atlantic Refining last week. Standard Oil of Kansas which had sold down to around 33 when the dividend was suspended moved up to S5 today and there was fair de- mand for many other Standard oil stocks at moderate advances. Prairie oil, however, after showing firmness, was in supply later in the day. South American stocks continued strong and there was steady accumulation of La go petroleum, around Its recent high level.
 Industrial shares were generally steady but a group of radio stocks which has now been extended to in- clude long list has been made prom inent causing neglect of other issues. Radio corporation issues were steadily held, the present common shares and the new common, when issued, being steadily bought. Commonwealth pow CT was special feature in the indus trial group, moving up nearly three points to a new high record. Lehigh Valley coal. also, was active and strong, making substantial gain while Hudson company preferred re- acted slightly from Thursdays high level.
