1t needed the Intervention Of Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson herself to prevent
the stupidity of the German ambassa-
dor at Washington In refusing to
half-staff the embassy flag In token Of
grief over the passage of the former
President to prevent the complete coll
lapse of the efforts to raise money to
feed the starving German children.
Probably no single proposition has SO
aroused America since the days of the
war than has this incident. There Is
universal condemnation for the am
bassador and for German officialdom
generally, while the attitude of the
German newspapers also aroused keen
resentment.
The New York Times feels that this
incident, coupled with the abuse heap
ed on the dying eS-President by Ger
man newspapers, was mot so much
to affront the United States or to out
rage American sentiment but to
maintain a German myth" which was
that Germany was not beaten in the
war;" Somewhat similar is the view
which feels "the flag blunder is an
illustration of the mental myopia Of
German statesmen and the people OF
the United States are too generous
and too sensible to hold the whole Ger
man people responsible. But it Is an
incident that will tend to awaken old
prejudices and possibly delay the re-
sumption of whole-hearted co-opera-
ton. National tact is more effective
than misunderstanding.

To this the Lynchburg News adds
ANY reasonable German ought TO
have foreseen that this public, official,
degrading exhibition of German
venom would inevitably invite the
contempt and scorn of others-the
keen resentment of the American
people-and that it would bode un-
happily for Germany in the future so
far as American public opinion was
concerned. But the squareheads
could not see 1t that way-they could
not see it until they were made to
understand that their action would

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Unmaking Mollycoddle.
Little Willie's' parents loving
Undertook to use their wealth,
So this old world would quit shovins
And be used for willie's health.
Willie turned to jazzy measures,
Stayed out rather late at night;
Sidestepped the patrician pleasures
OF his family polite.
Though his parents in confusion
Chided Willie now and then,
He disdained serene seclusion.
Mingling with his fellow men.
He arose by plain endeavor.
Now his home folks get thrill,
Saying, "Is not Willie clever!
Everybody calls him 'Bill""

COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE
Law WILL Be ENFORCED

Among the schools recently opened
there have been very few cases of non
attendance reported. to this date. The
few cases reported have been turned
over to the new truant officers re-
Gently appointed by the County School
Board.
These officers are Mr.. B. M. Borden
for Stonewan, Johnston, Woodstock
and Davis Districts and Mr.. Mckinley
Ryman for Madison, Ashby and Lee
Districts.
1t is earnestly hoped that parents
will send their children promptly and
regularly so as to avoid proceeding
against any one, under the Compulsory
Attendance Act.
However recently the Judge of the
Juvenile Court. Mr.. M. L. Walton, Jr.,
had two cases before him. One from
Madison District and one from John
ston District in which fines and cost!
imposed amounted to nearly 5000
in each case.
Very respectfully submitted,

Bette M. Wisman, wife of G. E
Wisman of Franklinton, N. c.. a de.
voted wife, true friend, and for many
years Gevout member of the Pres.
byterian church passed on Friday,
Aug. 20, 1924, at the age of 81. Her
husband took her remains for inter-
ment back to her childhood home,
Toms Brook, Va, at $3.50 p. M, 29th,
instant.
Many citizens OF Franklinton gath
cred at the Wisman home to show
sympathy with and offer prayer for
the afflicted family The Rev. Mr..
Dowell, pastor of the Baptist church,
had charge of the exercises. His calm,
well chosen and beautiful remarks
were an inspiration to broken hearts.
AS Brother Dowell had lived near the
Wisman home longer than any minis
ter in this place he was better pre-
pared to speak Of the high esteem in
which our people held Mr.. and Mrs.
Wisman.
Old hymns were sung. The Rev.
Mr.. Davis, pastor of the Methodist
church prayed. 1t was short prayer,
but very full. He prayed for the gift
OF prayer upon all, for honesty of
speech, for deliverance from dead
formallties, for sincerity of confession,
for child. like familiarity Of approach to
God, by the bereaved, for filial faith;
and then closed by inviting Christ to
come in, as through the closed doors
of the disciples upper room at Jerusa-
lem, and speak to the broken heart of
Brother Wisman. Peace be unto
YOU"
Many appeared to be in the spirit to
sing the old songs, There is scarcely
a Christian tomb in all our land where
repose not the silent lips that once
sang some of those matchless songs
We heard beneath the stars, and near
the beautiful flowers of the Wisman
home. No wonder the people fingered
about the hallowed spot. They gave
their parting benediction to the be-
reaved, turned reluctantly homeward,
saying in their hearts: Truly, the
Lord was in this place "-Franklinton
News.
Mrs. Wisman, who before marriage
was Miss Bette Moomaw, was born in
Franklin, w. Va, and at the time of |
,er marriage to Mr.. Wisman lived in
Woodstock with her sister, Mrs. L. A. |
)rndorff, who preceded her in death
sixteen years ago. Her death brought
sorrow to many friends in this section
~ whom she was held in highest
esteem.
