JVe.ldent Franklin O. Koo?evelt, who I. al?o Freeident of the American Red < ros?' say* of thi* humaaljarian work. The Red Cro?? i* the instrument of ' expression of a great group of Amer ican*v, who have given generously for human welfare in times of and emergency. In nerving the lUa Cross -you are aiding by example those similar great causes for which, this nation is daily .striving. The test of any organization's worthwhileness ia the fruit that it bears. Surely the American Red Cross has borne fruit that has been the salvation of thousand* *of folk In distress in our land. And when the time comes to give to the Red Cross every constructive citizen in our country will want to lend a helping hand. _ The Fake Benefit IChcket How the returns from "benefit enterprises shrinks by the time they reach the hands <bt those they were intended to help is illustrated in a case in New York., A .Beaux-Arts ball recently was staged at the Atlantic Beach club for the advertised benefit of several organizations. including St. Joseph's hospital, of Far. Rockaway. Before the amount realized was determined, the hospital authorities announced -they would refuse to accept their share because it was a policy of the Catholic church to disapprove .generally of bathing beauty contest? and such a contest had been one of the features of the ha!!. When the final accounting was made by those in charge of the ball, ' it developed that the hospital would have received as its share of the profits only $0.22. The total receipts were $1 .WS'i.bO. The expenses amounted to $1,866.02. leaving but $17).K8 to be divided among the beneficiary organizations. What price benefit? Those who patronize such affairs more for the purpose of helping a good cause rather than to enjoy the occasion could do better by contributing about 10 per cent direct. And very likely they could have more fun elsewhere with the other 90 per cent. How To Replace Lost Certificates Producers who have lost their participation trust certificates in the Cotton Producers' Pool of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration may obtain an additional advance of two cents a pound or offer their certificates to the pool for sale without delay despite the loss of the certificate-. under a plan announced. These producer.-, must execute an affidavit or. a form furnished by the Adminis rati -n it. order to receive a duplicate. If a producer has transferred his r i- 11fi a' ' some other person who ia- it. both the producer and the p..err,-, to whom the parte.pation -u-t ort :i a to wa- tian-ferred must ex. rc affidavit* on form- furnished hv ' > Adm.ni-t i at ion that the certi i at.- wa- lost. However, if either want.- to apply f??r an additional ad\ of two cent- a pound or offer . r';ficate- to the pool for sail*, but has '..-t the certificate, the affidavit . r affidavit? may be attached to the loan application blank or the offer to sell form. In this way. both matters will be handled in Washington at the -ame time and it will not be necessary to receive a duplicate certificate :n advance. Ir. ca-e- of lost par'i< 1 pat ion tiu?t certificates, the owner of the certificates should contact hi? four.ty agent for the ncec--ary forms. County agents are sent these form? or.ly upon request. If not available locally they may be obtained from the Ag'O ultural Adjustment" Administration ir. Washington. All county agents have been ser.t forms which must he fil ed out if holders of participation tru-t certificates wish to obtain an additional advance of two cent" a pound on their pooled co'ton or if they wish to offer to sell, says Henry I> Green, county agent. More than 36,000 unemployed persons passed through Arizona during September, according to the figure.s of the FRRA administrator Of the state. The movement to the west is attributed by the administrator to the "end of poverty in California" plan of Upton Sinclair, Democratic candidate for president.

Welsh Relic* 4,000 Year* Old ? Believed to be those of an old Welsh chieftain, relics nearly 4,000 years old were dug up on the site of a miniature Stonehenge In Pembrokeshire, Wales. A large circular area enclosed by stones, s large cromlech and several steep mounds were also discovered during the excavations under the supervision of officials of the National Museum of Wr?dM. The discovery dissipates the 'fciSory held for centuries that the coffins were placed there by the Druids. An expert declares that the cists, which form the miniature Stonehenge, probably belong to the Bronze age, dating from about 2000 b. a ~ The Thermo* Bottle Thermos bottle is a trade name for a practical device Invented by Sir James Dewar about 1892 for the purpose of containing Intensely cold liquefied gases. It Is also called' a vacuum, bottle as It consists essentially of a double-walled bottle or flask In which there Is high vacuum between the walls. ltndlntlon Is prevented by silvering the walls, and there Is. of course, nothing to conduct heat across the vacuum. The small opening to the flnsk Is usually stop pered with a thick cork, this material being ft very poor conductor of heat.

The term embraces the Idea of wrong or disorderly position, ar rangement. or sequence.

Popular Carnation Kiiqwii Before Sixteenth Century Tti*? <?rl> blutury of the ciTtttUon^ La, unhappily, Idv?Iv?h1 to obscurity, the earlle?l record of the pUukt dattog oo further bark than tha beginning of the Sixteenth ceutory. whan Blahop Douglas* ooeotiona It among other garden flower*. notes a correspondent In the Kansas City Star. It la aafa to aaaume tha carnation was in cultivation touch earlier than wa ara able to trace by any written record, and not Improbably it was no uncommon plant Turner's remark to *fLlbeilua,H where ha calls It Incarnation, that supposition. Recorded in "Bakluyt"' written in 1568, the word referring to the plant occurs as if In common use. It was nqt until Gerard published his -Herbal" la 15SIT that the extent to which the carnation was cultivated and the great numbers of varieties that were at the time grown in gardens, can be gauged fully. It then suddenly bursts upon our ken a fully developed flotfer, already divided Into sections, the plants differing from each other in the habitat of growth and cultural requirements, but alike in the remarkable range ef colors embraced by each. It was said varieties were introduced from various countries, but Gerard's. declaration that "every elymate and countrey brlngeth forth new sortes" la no doubt more consistent with fact. Emerald Said to Promote Friendship, Conquer Sin The emerald la regarded as an emblem of success In love. Its green color Is said to promote friendship and constancy of mind, while other authorities attribute to It the meaning of immortality and conquering of sin, wrltea an authority In the Kansas City Star, Even In the days of Pliny this stone was highly esteemed; he wrote of emeralds: "Neither dim nor shade, nor yet the light of a candle, causes them to lose their luster." The fresh color of emerald was supposed to be good for the eyes (bearing out modern optical op'nlon on the restful qualities of green), Pliny says. "There is not a gem or precious stone that so fully possesseth the eye, and yet never contenteth It with satiety. Nay, If the sight hath been wearied and dimmed by intentive poring upon anything else, the beholding of this ato?6 doth refresh and restore It again." The finest emeralds in the rich velvet and grass green color come from the South American republic of Colombia, the lighter green emeralds from Takawaja, Asiatic Russia, and New South Wales. Among poetical references are the lovely lines from Coleridge: "I mark the ({low-worm, as I pass. Move with 'green radiance" through th? grajoi. An emerald of light." Nomination New* Delayed Here Is an Incident Illustrative of the Important role improved means of communication have played In unifying our nation, cites G. R. Turner In the Kansas City Times. In 1848 the Whigs nominated Gen. Zachary Taylor as their candidate for President. To the general, who at the time was living on a farm In Louisiana, the chairman of the convention immediately dispatched a letter notifying him of his nomination. But In those timet postage was paid by the person receiving a letter, and the general, tired of paying postage on fan mall, refused to accept the large bundle In which the chairman's letter was Inclosed. Two days later, thinking that the bundle might have contained Important information, he asked the post office to return It. But the postmaster in the meantime had marked "unclaimed" the chairman's letter and returned It to Washington. Thus it was < that a uionth elapsed before tho general whs able to gain possession of the lette. and learn of his nomination. The "Silver Spoon" Saying Everybody has heard the saying, "he was horn with a silver spoon in his mouth" hut few know anything of its origin. It dates back to the time of the Tudor and Stuart reigns in England when apostle spoons were given as christening presents. These spoons, which were made with an image of one of the apostles on the end of the handle, were very expensive and within the reach of only the wealthiest families. Tills meant that only the children of tho rich would receive such christening presents?hence the saying. ?Pathfinder Magazine.

WHOLES ALU MARRIAGES York title BecomingSoKtriouft For Many laip?iUive Weddia*# The report recently filed in tl*e of- ? ftce of the clerk of court by E. C. Rhode#, chief clerk to the comptroller general, who made a careful audit of j all the York county offices, again brings into the spotlight the reputa* tion of Yorkville as a marriage mart. It says that the probate judge received fbr marriage license feea the last fiscal year, and paid over to the i county treasurer, $4,408.5<k Since the marriage license fee is $1.50, that means that 2.030 marriage licenses were issued in York county in twelve months. V Everybody knows, what the records disclose, that only a small fraction of these nearly 3,000 weddings here were of residents of York county?Hind that nearly all of them come from North Carolina. In fact, Yorkville has been famous as the place where the Tarheel couples who suddenly decide to end a joy ride with a marriage come for the ceremony?as well as the other couples who are not allowed to marry by the more modern marriage laws of ^Jorth Carolina. But in this state almost anybody not entirely an idiot who says he or she is of legal age, can get a marriage license for the asking and the payment of a dollar and a half. This hjyt been made known to the Tarheel lovelorn and impulsive young people, and they flock here at the rate of nearly ten couples a day to be married. In this state, where divorce is unknown to the statute law, it is as easy to get married as to buy a pair of shoes?and nowhere in the state is it easier for anybody to get'married than in old Yorkville, with its marrying probate judge. The time of the 24 hours that some motoring couple decide to come to Yorkville to get married does not matter at all. The judge lives in the same street with the court house and keeps a supply of marriage license blanks at his home, of nights, i He never comp'lains at being awakened at 2 o'clock in the morning by a boy and girl who want to be married before they go home from their joy ride which started in North (Carolina the previous evening. The most charming, pleasant man imaginable, Judge E. Gettys Nunn is all courtesy when routed out inthe middle of the night to marry somebody. His usual ;fee is $5 which is quite as much as a Yorkville physician charges for getting up in the night and going a couple of miles to see a patient. But, unlike the doctors, the judge charges no more for a night cerefnony at his home than he charges for a da* wedding at his office." It is pretty well standardized now at $3 a splice, for one and all, who are married by the probate judge at Yorkville. It used to be that the judge told the groom his fee was whatever that man thought his bride was worth, and the fee varied from a dime to a sawbuck. But it is now on a more businesslike basis, and the judge tells the groom the wedding fee is $5, in most cases, at least. It used to average aboutthat, but anybody can see the desirability of making it a fixed sum, from the standpoint of collections. Formerly, when applicants for wedlock asked the price of a jnarriage li' cense, they were told the legal fee. Now, generally the answer is: "Six dollars and a half, a dollar and a half for the license, and five dollars for the ceremony." They nearly all take the lot. license and ceremony,] and pay the $*>.50. Occasionally, a j couple will a.-k whether they can not go to a minister to be married, but ( not many outlanders do that. It looks a little like the Yorkville, preachers are having to meet hard competition now as regards wedding fees. Of course, not all the couples licensed to marry in York county are married by the probate judge. Those resident in this county mostly are spliced by ministers. But the hegira of couple.? iram North Carolina, most of whom are married by the probate judge at $5, make that office of judge of probate a gold mine, especially in these hard times. Allowing that nearly 500 of the couples married in that last fiscal j year had a ceremony by somebody ( other than the judge?a minister, a magistrate or a notary public?which as a rule means that they are residents of York county?and there re- i main 2,500 licensed and married by : the judge in that twelve months embraced in the report of the audit. And 2,500 wedding ceremonies at ?5 each would bring in $12,500 income in one year?probably more than any other^nan in York county, bank president or corporation executive, waR" paid during any year lately.?York-j ville Enquirer.
