Could the President guarantee the farmers against prosecution, based bn restraint of trade, if farmers combin ed, established market places and fix ed prices? A Government board now tells mov ing picture men that they may not ex hibit their own pictures in their own theatres. ,If that were sound—of course it is NOT sound—farmers could not sell their own products in their own mar kets, which is what they SHOULD do. MRS. BAILEY HOSTESS TO TUESDAY BRIDGE CLUB On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. C. M. Bailey was quite an attractive hostess tess to the Tuesday Bridge Club. Three tables were arranged for the players and the players found their places with hand-painted score cards. Mrs. Bailey, assisted by Miss Corinne Bai ley and Miss Frances Glasgow, served two tempting courses. The guests present were: Mesdames J. H. Wither spoon, George Young, Jack Young, R. W. Wade, J. W. Young, Will Robin son, Hugh Simpson, Gary Dillard, E. L. Glasgow, Walter Johnson, B. H. Boyd and L. B. Dillard. STONE MOUNTAIN BENEFIT ENJOYABLE AFFAIR The Stone Mountain Benefit at the Bois Terre club on Saturday after noon proved quite a pleasant social treat. Dainty sandwiches and tea were served by Misses Mary Henry and Corinne Bailey. Tables were arrang ed for rook and bridge and the follow ing players were present: Mesdames H. D. Henry, R. J. Copeland, Frank Kellers, E. L. Glasgow, L. B. Dillard, Goyne Simpson, J. H. Withefspoon, C. M. Bailey, James Sprunt, William Bai ley Owens, W. J. Bailey, J. F. Jacobs, B, H. Boyd, Misses Clara Duckett, Polly ‘Elrod, Cornelia Bethea, Theo Lyles, Frances Glasgow, Elizabeth Young, Marie Cozby and Mae Owens. And what, if anything, would Gov ernment do to help the farmers? A great deal is done for railroads. A Governmtent board watches over them, raises rates when the railroad lacks reasonable prpfits, and says to the public, “Pay or walk.” Would the Government show inter est of that sort in farmers and MAKE the public pay for wheat and potatoes enough to pay the farmer well ? Canada discovers a deposit of heli um gas and the Canadian Government has bought the three producing wells, keeping for itself all helium rights. In Canada the Government will keep and work these wells for the public benefit, and there will be no Canadian helium “Teapot Dome affair.” Give our Canadian brothers credit for that. jr The District of Columbia Court of Appeals decides that the indictments in connection with the stealing of the naval oil reserves must stand. It would be surprising, gratifying and new if the fact should be estab lished that in this country a man can not go free even when he steals one hundred million dollars. The general impression was that anything from one million up was quite safe. MASONIC LODGE NAMES OFFICERS E. R. Sloan To Head Campbell Lodge No. 44, A. F.

CASINO THEATRE tf Today and Tomorrow 0 I E 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 Why do you pay everyone else first and leave him until the last? If it is because you. know he will not press x you severely and the others will, isn’t it only fair to pay first the doctor, who is most lenient? Don't penalize your doctor just be cause he has tried to be “easy” with you. Never forget that he came when ever you called, night or day. He gave freely of his time ^nd experience— the only two things he has to get paid for. He came willingly—^without a grouch, without a fret. He tried hu manely to help you, or your dear ones. And now that the trouble is past, the crisis o’er—are you as faithful to him? Or do you still neglect to pay his bill? Do you always, when your money comes in, put his bill on the bottom and pay others whom you know will make you suffer if delay. T Think how unfair this is. Unfair to the faithful doctor, and unfair to your reputation as an honest citiaen. 1 You play a cruel game when you let your doctor's bill get old. He needs money just as you do. Suppose other people from whom you derjteyyfMr income should hold up your money! Wouldn’t you have a right to be angry? If you cannot pay, say so. If you can pay part and do not, then there is only one thing { that can be true—you are a “dead beat”—a person who has the money but will not pay your hon est debts. r Stop, now—and think. * How old is your oldest doctor bill?

HAYS HONORS BRIDGE CLUB On Thursday morhing Mrs. Clair H^ys was-a gracious hostess to the ' Bridge Club at the home of her sister, Mrs. William Bailey Owens, James Sprunt of Dillon and Miss Cole of Chicago, were honor guests.

A learned Britisher, translating the Bibie, finds a mistake in the King James version. The men that the-star guided to Bethlehem were not kings or “wise men,” they were magicians. In ancient days^the difference was slight. Unless a man was a magician the superstitious people thought little of his wisdom. That is why founders of new religions have been compelled to perform miracles, or pretend per formance.

Pinson, L. D. Mc Crary, S. G. Dillard, Irby Hipp, W. D. Copeland and Goyne Simpson. Mrs. Simpson served ' an elegant salad course with charlotte rousse with coffee and fruit cake. In the Swiss village of Piona men drank brandy, and got drunk. There was no cafe and the village was on a “hard stuff” basis. The men wanted a cafe. The wo men objected, opened a woman’s cafe and ran it, suppying the men with light beer and wine and keeping an eye on them. Strange to say, the men who objected at first are now con tented, and what is more important, they are sober. ex tf-tr* At uil /»* ftni SRHW rrnl * Furniture In.
