ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891.
Thursday, October 4, 1917.
Last week The Herald made the
mistake of quoting cotton at 20 1-2
to 20 o-S. This, of course, was an
error; it was exactly three cents un
der the market price. Every time
an error is made in The Herald, we
are convinced of the fact that the
paper is pretty thoroughly read; at
least all mistakes are read.

Now that the busy fall season is
on, it would be a good time for city
council to further regulate the traffic
on .Main street, by making a rul?
against. ycuyie yaii\mg vaio wn
street except for a brief time, say
five or ten minutes. Main street is
too narrow for the large number of
cars that remained parked on it as
a usual thing throughout the day.

John Puroy Mitchell, believed by
many to be the most progressive and
cleanest mayoT New York city ever
had, has been defeated for the Republican
nomination. Mayor Mitchell
has announced, however, that he will
run as an independent candidate in
the general election. Mayor Mitchell
came of good Southern stock, as have
many of the great men in the nation.

biggest turnip that ever grew was
raised right here, and by far the
biggest Irish potato we ever sawcame
right out of town; likewise tomatoes.
Now, how about those big
sweet potatoes. They tell us the
crop is especially fine this year.

The American Press has conducted
an aggressive campaign in the interest
of the country newspapers for
the purpose of inducing the government
to make an appropriation for
- advertising Liberty Bonds. The
American Press points out that in the
large cities all the newspapers carried
many columns of advertising of
the last offering of Liberty Bonds,
and that they were paid for so doing,
while practically all of the country
newspapers and dailies in small cities
advertised the issue free. Of course,
the government did not pay for the
advertising in the big dailies, but
they were paid just the same. Therefore,
of course, it is of no interest to
the big dailies whether the government
decides to^pav for advertising
or not, as they will get their pay anyway.
One millionaire newspaper
. owner in congress did more than
anybody else to defeat the paid-ad-vertising
proposition, and maybe this
1- * J ~ - A TTT^ V/s
was xiis reason iur uumg it. we uelieve
in patriotism and loyalty to the
government just as much as anybody,
N but until such time as everybody
else gives supplies to the government
instead of charging for them, we
must insist on being paid for space
advertising Liberty Bonds or any
other government commodity.
He Followed Instructions.
i ,
Frederick the Great, king of Prussia,
the illustrious ancestor of Kaiser
Wilhelm, had a fancy for giants
in his bodyguard. One day a recruiting
officer spied in Berlin an Irishman
whose height was six feet four
inches. The officer's hopes were high
too, but there was one difficulty?
Pat could not speak a word of German,
and the king had always insisted
that his men must know that
language.
The recruiting sergeant, having got
his man to enlist without much trouble,
saw a way out.
"P^t," he said, "his majesty will
ask you three questions in German,
and you will answer in German. I
will teach you the words, and you
must get them right."
"TT? ...ill 4 T_I r\ n> rtlrl
JiO >v in sav iu i uu, nun uiu
are you?' You will reply, 'Twentyseven
years.' Then he will ask, 'Howlong
have you been in the army?'
You will respond, 'Three weeks,' and
then he will say 'Are you satisfiedj
with your lodgings and your food?"I
and you will answer, 'Both, your majesty,'
and then you will salute the
king."
Pat got the German thoroughly.
When reviewing his troops, the king
immediately sighted the newcomer.
"Ah," he said with a satisfied smile
at the giant Hibernian. "My friend,
how long have you been in the army?"
"Twenty-seven years."
"What!" yelled his majesty. "Why
how old are you?"
"Three weeks."
"Donner and blitzen!" shrieked
the infuriated despot. "Am a madman
or are you?"
"Both," replied Pat, imperturbably,
and the king wa!s removed foaming.?New
York Times.
j Elaborate plans for new buildings
have been made for the American
Methodist Missionary College at
Rome, Italy. A site on Monte Mario
already has been obtained.
"The House of Windsor."
To purge it of the German sound
j of names like Saxe-Coburg, Brunsi
wick and Hanover, the royal house
j of Great Britain and Ireland will
hereafter be known as the house of
Windsor.
Racially, the British royal family
is as Teutonic as most families in
Germany. George I. a German, married
a German, as six of his seven
successors on the throne have done,
though May of Teck, the present
queen, was an English girl by education
and environment. Of the children
of Queen Victoria and her German
husband, six married Germans,
one a Russian, one a Scot, while Edward
VII furnished the exception
among recent sovereigns by espousing
a Dane.
George I spoke no English when
crowned and never learned much.
The other Georges had a German
accent. Queen Victoria's parents lived
in Germany at the time of her
birth, but went to England for that
historic event. After her marriage
with the Coburg prince consort German
was the family language of the
court in private. The German honors
of collateral branches of the royal
family have already received attention.
The name of Louis of Battenburg,
Victoria's grandson-in-law, has
been de-Germanized; it won him early
in the war great injustice after
patriotic service.
In political conviction and habit
of thought King George is presumably
as British as his subjects. If
it pleases them to give him an English
family name whose historic associations
date back to the Saxon
heptarchy they may do it, but it will
not alter historic fact.?New York

Missing a Fortune.
"Ifs" are as numerous in Wall
street as elsewhere, and there are
thousands of denizens of the street
who would retire millionaires, but
for that small word. Still there are
some interesting axamples of how
closely persons have missed becoming
wealthy, and the Standard Oil
shares have furnished a great many
examples of this.
When original Standard Oil company
was cut up into its original
parts by order of the United States
supreme cpurt, a certain New York
broker and his family owned a number
of shares, and the family council
decided not only to hold on to these
shares, but to buy a fair amount of;
some of the companies' stocks,- fol-j
lowing the split-up. For a long time;
leading members of the family council
decided that Standard Oil, of Indiana
shares offered the best possibilities,
but later on it was decided
to buy other shares. It has since
been pointed out that if they had
invested $20,000 in 100 shares of
Standard Oil of Indiana, which stock j
-ivss spiling' around 200 at that time,i
the investment would be worth $2,250,000
today. Standard Oil of Indiana
declared a 2,900 per cent stock
dividend and these shares now sell at
750.?Wall Street Journal.
ThenWhy?
Robbie first heard a concert, says
Pearson's weekly, when he attended
a recent entertainment in aid of a
patriotic fund. A celebrated soprano,
accompanied by a famous orchestra
was singing when Robbie
arrived. The small boy became at
once interested in the gesticulations
of the conductor.
"Mother, why is that man shaking
his stick at the lady?" he asked.
"flush; he is not shaking his stick
at her."
"Then what is she screaming for?"
?Exchange.
The Wrong View.
The angry citizen puffed into the '
office of the city editor.
"See here, sir," he yelled. "What
do you mean by publishing my resignation
from political office in this
way."
"You gave the story out yourself,
didn't you?" asked the editor.
"Of course I did," replied the angry
citizen; "but your fool paper has
printed it under the head of 'Public
Improvements.' "?Washington Fost.
Deepest Drill Holes.
Of the three or four American
diamond-drill holes exceeding half a
miles in depth, the deepest by 1,700
feet is the one recently completed in
Sussex county, New Jersey. The depth
of 4,900 feet was reached in 20
months. The core removed was two
inches in diameter to a depth of 1,600
feet and one and two-thirds
inches further down. The drill
rods necessary weighed more
than thirteen tons, eight hours
having been necessary to remove
and replace them when the
perfectly perpendicular bore was
within a few feet of completion.

man's door he is usually over at a
neighbor's trying to borrow something.

One on Miss Perkins.
Young .Miss Perkins, whose beauty
is equal to her bluntness in conver-i
sation, was visiting at a house where.!
among other guests, was the eldest
son of a rich manufacturer, who was
commonly looked upon as a very
eligible husband. The talk turned on
matrimonial squabbles. Said the!
;
young man:
"I hold that the correct thing for'
the husband is to begin as he intends!
to go on. Say that the question was \
one of smoking. Almost immediately]
I would show my intentions by light-!
ing a cigar and settling the question i
forever."
"And I would knock the tiling out ]
of your mouth!" cried the imperious
beauty.
"Do you know," rejoined the young
man, "I don't think you would be
there!"?Tit-Bits.
"Why is Ray in the hospital?"
"He took a corner on two wheels."
"What of it?"
"One of 'em was the steering
wheel, old top."?Lampoon.
GOOD MEDICINE *
FOR THE BLOOD
Plain Iron Most Economical, Goes
Farther a^d Has Endorsement
of Doctors.?Ask for
Acid Iron Mineral.
/
When in need of a good tonic and
some good medicine to clear up the
complexion, enrichen and purify the
blood, remember Acid Iron Mineral.
This pleasant to take, very unusual
and most economical natural iron
medicine is so highly concentrated, it
goes from two to six times as far as
other and weaker preparations of
chemist and labaratory.
It has two most important features
recognized by the medical fraternity
and has been in use in hospitals, sanitariums,
private practice and by surgeons
for thirty one years. These
features are:
First, Acid Iron Mineral contains
no dangerous alcohol which often as
not disastrously affects the kidneys,
nerves and stomach.
Second, Acid Iron Mineral does not
act as a laxative and never upsets
the bowels as so many prepared remedies
do.
Being a natural product, tested,
concentrated, bottled and sold by the
Ferrndine Chemical Corp.. Roanoke,
Va., its uniform excellence and freedom
from harmful or injurious elements
is guaranteed. Children lacking
plenty of rich, red blood, and
seemingly troubled with stomach or
lack of appetite may be given Acid
Iron Mineral with absolute confidence.
If the user is troubled with constipation
an A-I-M Liver Pill or two
on going to bed for a few nights is
recommended as part of the Acid Iron
Mineral treatment.
Both Acid Iron Mineral and the AI-M
Liver Pills may be secured of
nearly all druggists, or will be sent t
prepaid on receipt of the price, by the
Ferrodine Chemical Corp., Roanoke,
Va.
Acid Iron Mineral is sold here by
Mack's Drug Store, J. B. Black,
Druggist; Fordham's Pharmacy,
Doyle's, Lowman Drug Co., Dr. D.
Moorer, Dr. H. D. Rowe, Dr. J. G.
Wannamaker Mfg. Co., and other
