New Biography
Tells Life of Shelby;
Undefeated Rebel

Just published is the first BIZ
ography ever writetn of General
Joseph Orville Shelby. c. S. A..
Missouri's Great Raider of the
Rebellion and the only Confeder-
ate general on active duty in
1865 never to surrender Brought
cut by The University Of North
Carolina Press, the new biography
entitled General 10 Shelby. I'm
defeated Rebel has been hailed
in advance Of publication by top
ranking critics as a discovery
The author. Daniel O'Fraherty,
is Virginia writer and former
Richmond neWspaperman who
has devoted the past four years to
the search for elusive Shelby ma
terial, and two years to the &C
tual writing OF the book.
Little known today outside of
his adopted state of Missouri
Shelby was nevertheless one of
the most brilliant cavalry leaders
of the South Major General Al
fred PleaSanton, who commanded
the Cavalry Corps of the Army
Of the Potomac, in fact, ranked
Shelby higher than Jeb Stuart

for the first successful flight of its kind
The first permanent English settlement
in American was established on May 18TH
1907, at jamestown, Virginia Largely
through the efforts of Captain John Smith
the colony succeeded in resisting Indian at
yacks and becoming the first permanent
English settlement in what is now the
United States
The observance of Mothers Day also
falls in the month Of May and dates from
the month in 1907. The inspiration of Miss
Anna jarvis, of Philadelphia, who believed
that once year sons and daughters should
pay tribute to mother, is responsible for
the annual observance
On May 10TH, 1869, construction crews
of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific
railroad companies met at Promintory
Point Utah. This completed the first trans
continental railroad spanning the country
from East to West In more recent times,
on May 7th, 1915, the Lusitania was sunk
by German submarines off Old Head of
kinsae, on the coast of Ireland 1t was so
badly damaged and sank so rapidly that
1850 lives were lost and it was one of the
incidents which later brought the United
States into the war against Germany
Altogether then, May is filled with
dates of famous events and memories and
in addition, contains May Day and Derby
Day among others.

II so. it would cause commodity
prices to strengthen; it would
increase mployment. and it
should result IN a Republican
Congressional victory this coming

Eisenhower could not balance the
budget. but does Wall Street real
ly want it balanced? Hence, not
outstanding the very high prices
at which the IS DoW-Jones stocks

I, therefore, make three fore
casts:
1) That Mr. Eisenhower will
not ask Congress for permission
to send foot soldiers into Indo-
China, at least before the Nov
ember election
~ That the talk Of using Alto

French and scare the Chinese
that they Will all quit.

Month of May

IT is hard to realize that one-third of 1854
is now history. With the arrival of May
comes an end to the threat of ice and snow
IN almost every part of the country. May
IS also month of memories.
May 30th is Memorial Day. the OBJ
servance of which dates dack to the year
1868. 1t was in that year that year that
General John A. Logan approved a plan
and issued geenral instructions for the
decoration of the graves of Union soldiers
throughout the country on May 3Oth. The
practice had begun in the South, and as
early as 1863, the women of Columbus,
Mississippi, laid flowers on the graves of
both Confederate and Union dead
In 1865, the women Of Vicksburg and
Winchester Virginia, decorated Confed-
crate graves in those cities Another i'm
portant date in the month of May is the
25th when Ralph Waldo Emerson was
born in Boston, Massachusetts, in May,
1903. Captain William Kidd was hanged in
London on May 23rd, 1901. He had sup
posedly buried treasurer along the At
lantic Coast, which he ravaged, and which
men still search for.
And, in later times, a young man nam
ed Lindberg took off from Roosevelt
Field, New York on May 30th, 1887 and
made nonstop flight to Paris. He landed
in Paris on the evening of May 2lst and
won a $500 prize which had been offered

Rising Oceans

WILLIAM j. BANTER, author of new
book on the weather says flood dam
age on the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf Of
Mexico this year will be the greatest ever
witnessed by this generation. He says that
damage on the Pacific Coast will also be
great, although not as severe as on other
L. S. shores.
Baxter believes abnormally high tenn
perature during the recent winter thawed
much ice in Arctic areas which will result
IN higher water, particularly in the At
lantic Ocean. He contends that glaciers
are melting very rapidly and that the prob
lem has now become very serious one
The situation is pictured as one of a
battle to preserve land masses from all
powerful oceans which are steadily steal
ing land. Already according to Baxter,
seventy-one per cent of the entire globe
is composed of oceans or frozen areas. The
weather experts belief is that the per-
centage of oceans and frozen areas is now
beginning to rise appreciably.
He points to serious flods in the British
Isles last year, serious ravages from rising

SINCE1929" OR, "CONfMOD-
ITTES CONTINUE TO AID
VANCE" For many investors
have stock and bonds which still
show them a loss; while some
farmers and manufacturers are
selling their products below cost
Why this inconsistency?
AS I have said before, the high

What is said about these is true
they are very high The rapidly
growing Pension Funds are also
causing present high prices for

Another Reason for High Prices
There, however, is another rea-

the Indo China patriots n d

floods in seventy years of Germany's Are

All over the world, from Russia and

greatest danger in thisl country IS the

There is indeed much evidence to sup
port the conclusions arrived at by Baxter.
Even though he may prove right, it is GER
tain to be exceedingly difficult to arouse
officials in coastal cities about the prob
ability of rising ocean waters. Even in this
