One of the problems of the summer
5o thn hnv. The nine
vatavivu ?o v?.x/ .
months of school is a period of discipline.
The three summer months of
vacation is a period of utter lack of
discipline. This is not written to add
to the burden of the boy. He has his
troubles, to be sure. He must have
recreation, entertainment. Hut he
must have some responsibility. It
will be good for his body and good for
his soul if he be put to work. Work
is a great safeguard, a great opportunity
for a boy. To be idle three
months in the year will do much to
undermind both his character and his
reputation.
Your town is, so far as you are
concerned, largely what you make it.
; The same may be said of your busi.
ness, your home life and every other
.relation. The citizen who constantly
* j- i?
KTIOCKS me town IS unumiauic in
more ways than one. He is not only
a bore, he is a degenerate, or at least,
exerts a malign influence on the community.
The business man who has a
'"grouch" is the biggest load his business
has to carry. After all is said,
the man who refuses to join the pessimists,
who boosts, smiles and fights
wins. The average business, through
the indifference and sullenness of its
employees is hardened but by these
conditions than by all other adverse
hindrances.
We have been notified by the paper
houses of another advance of half a
cent per pound for newspaper. The
price now is almost double what it
was three months ago, and the end
is not yet. All we can do to protect
ourselves is to call earnestly upon i
the subscribers, one and all, to send
us the money for a renewal. We particularly
beg that those subscribers '
who are considerably in arrears come
to our aid. We will find quick and
real relief if all will do this. Some
papers are advancing the price. This
does not appeal to us. We have for
so long sent out a paper for a dollar
a year that we would not know how
to begin the raising of the price to
one and a half dollars.
Kind friend, look at your little yellow
lahel and if you find you are in
arrears, send us in your renewal. Do
this and help us without hurting yourself.
UNION COUNTY LANDS.
We do not, as a rule, make it a concern
of ours to call attention to advertisers
in The Times. We realize
that there is no need to do so. But
we cannot refrain from remarking
upon the advertisement of Mr. E. F.
Kelly, which may he seen on the
eighth page of this issue.
Time and again we have called attention
to the point brought out in
this advertisement, the remarkably
low price of Union county lands. Mr
Kelly makes the further point that
these low-price lands are being pur
chased by outside people. It is just
another case, all too frequently
found, in which people discount the
advantages that are to be found at
their very door.
Anyway, if people from other counties
come in and buy up these farms,
it will give us an influx of population.
Rut, it is really a pity that our own
people cannot see these things. And
it will soon be too late.

MISS RUTH COHEN
. WINS SECOND PLACE.
(Continued from page 1)

I can remember in the earliest
years of my school life, pe?-haps in
the 4th grade when history was
brought forth as a new object of interest
to me, among the illustrations
was an imaginative sketch of the
birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. We
have no sketch of the birthplace of
Davis. Though it means but little the
thought is large. When his name is
spoken the faces around me become
serious as if solving some problem. A
writer in beginning e sketch of Davis'
life, placed the following words as
the prelude:
"To speak kindly of Jefferson Davis
even a half century after the events
which he helped to bring about is an
exceedingly risky thing."
Why this? Because an innocent
wow Uoe Koow niol/n/1 mif ao o oow _
spicuous individual and made to bear
the burdens of shame and guilt for
the great calamities which have come
as the result of general sinning.
In 1843 Davis emerged from his
seven years of study as a candidate
for the State legislature of Mississippi
on the Democratic ticket from a
Whig constituency. He was even
re^idy to debate with the great Sergeant
Prentiss, which was, however,
forced upon him. Even though he
was not a successful candidate the
reputation which he won pointed him
out to the "boss" of the State. Robert
J. Walker, 1843, brought to him
the honor of being the representative
for presidential elector. Now his
slender, angular form became known
to the people of Mississippi. Voting
for the successful candidate prompted
his pary to give him a favorable seat
in the senate. He was a follower of
Calhoun just as Calhoun had been a
disciple of Jefferson. He (Davis) was
essentially an aristocrat but was a
Democrat in politics representine the
interests of the lower South. From
the beginning he was an active member
in congress.
A well known writer classes the
Mississippi of 1844 as the South Carolina
of 1812. A very wise politician
in the senate was Robert J. Walker of
MississiDni. Amone his co-workers
was Jefferson Davis. The greatest
wish of Walker and his co-workers
was the annexation of Texas. The result
was war with Mexico.
When* the war broke out Davis resigned
his seat in congress to become
leader of the Mississippi Rifles.
Throughout the war he rendered distinguished
service, and for honors at
Monterey and Buena "Vista was offered
the position of brigadier general
hut declined.
Honors were growin gon bushes.
Governor Brown appointed him senator
to fill the then vacant seat; his
ambitions were realized, he was young,
flushed with victory and just beginning
his life as a political leader.
What was the secret? He wove his
character into his work and it came
out a glorious success.
Davis had distinct opinions of his
own, perhaps this was the result of
his seven years' study and his brother's
influence. It need not be explained
that his most important work
was to formulate distinctly the southern
position with reference to slavery.
He admired Calhoun, hut in many
ways their points and views differed.
Moreover, Calhoun's policy was considered
the wisest. He argued in
favor of the restoration of Mexico and
annexation of Ne wMexico and California,
realizing the struggle which
would ensue over the vast territory on
the slavery question. Davis, on the
other hand, said that the allowance of
West and South as slave States would
insure against dangers of the abolitionists
and promote the deeper interests
of the South.
The new president (Taylor), though
the father-in-law of Davis, proclaimed
California a free State. Davis was
bitterly disappointed; he was making
mental resolutions of never becoming
a political leader when Pierce appointed
him secretary of war (1852).
At the head of this department his
actions were most successful. No
abler man could have been chosen
from the South nor served with more
enthusiasm. Tall, upright, slender,
manly with bulging gray eyes that
pierced into the heart of things; irregular
but strong features and a
spare man of forty years of age. He
was not physicallv strong and was
known to have often arisen from a
sick bed to render a long and difficult
speech. He seldom walked about
Washington during his eight years'
residence there just preceding the
Civil war, but everybody knew him
and everybody liked him. Davis did
much to improve and enlage the department
of the army and built an
aqueduct to bring water into the district
of Columbia. Also a suitable
route was provided for the Pacific
?"? ? 1 ? 11 1 o ?>f o r?At in vain
for at the end of the administration
he was elected to the senate. He led
the southern senators on the slavery
question. From the first he was opposed
to slavery and to secession except
as a last resort. For the president
and himself he formulated the
policy which he was to follow until
1961, but Stephen A. Douglas took a
" top forward which changed the plans.
Douglas his Middle West and Davis
his South.
The building of the Southern railway,
acquisition of the Panama Canal
zone, purchase of Cuba, opening of
Japan and C'n.r.a to American trade
and the cultivation of closer commo'-iia!
relations with South America
were included in the policy of Douglas.
Davis announced a part of the
general plan but he was predestined
I
to defeat. The final crisis was coming
near which would decide the question
of the two parties. No one
dreamed that war would come as the
result of the break of the leaders of
the North and South. Davis thought
property rights and slavery would be
far better than secession: he voted
against any steps that might lead to a
break-up of the Union. It was not his
telegram that fired the first shot. He
cherished the hope of reunion until
Sumter was fired upon?then he took
leave of the senate and came home
to Mississippi. He was made major
general of State troops.
In the secret chambers of his heart
he cherished the desire of the presidency;
he was thinking of the Soutn
in his hope for the presidency, not
the honors it would bring him. Davis,
Douglas or Lincoln. The presidency
stood "between the three. Not all who
lose fail?Davis lost but did not fail.
Davis advised the people of Mississippi
and the governor against secession.
He longed and hoped the union
would last. All hopes were in vain.
Mississippi' in her turn seceded and
with her Jefferson Davis, though his
long year of effort wasted and his
country and people in trouble he took
up the circumstances with a calm and
steady hand. He is a perfect example
of what a resolute will can endure
and accomplish in spite of the
most repressing and incurable maladies.
In a few weeks he was elected
president of the Confederacy, the
president of the Confederacy, the
most wonderful and touching construction
of the ape. During the long
years of the South's suffering Davis
lived with his cause and the South.
He considered the South a part of
him?when it suffered he suffered.
Lincoln's death came. Jefferson and
the South watched with agony the
last friend. He could only watch.
Why? In a dark, cold and damp
prison the president of the South was
accused of plannnig the death of Lincoln.
No trial, no aid to prove his
innocence, only two suffering years in
a prison of the lowest order. A man
of means, a man of character, could
he endure this?
In olden times if an emperor or any
of the nobility were harmed without
cause, at death the flowers came.
Davis had no flowers. His cause loved
him more, if that could be, but his
name was not what it should have
been. We need more flowers, more
monuments in the name of Jefferson
Davis.
When he returned to his home after
the two years' imprisonment he was
of course a physical wreck, though
his spirit was equal to any storm.
Peering into his latter days we see
but little after this; only a few years
of relaxation, travel and writing and
then his soul was wafted to the great
beyond.
He wrote the "Rise and Fall of the
Confederacy."
A small mound of stone in historic
Jlollywood cemetery represents resting
place of Jefferson Davis, but it represents
a great deal more?a human
being who sacrificed much for his
cause, a statesman with clean hands
and pure heart who served his people
faithfully from budding manhood to
hoary age, without thought of self
and to the best of his great ability.

In her gratitude for a remedy that

for an operation, Mrs. Carrie Heflin,
of Coats, Kans., writes: "Had it not
been for Fruitola and Traxo L might

surely does work wonders. My brother
also had suffered for years and has
been greatly benefited by Fruitola and

Fruitola is a powerful lubricant for
the intestinal organs, softening the
congested masses, disintegrating the
hardened particles that cause so much
suffering and expels the accumulation
in an easy, natural way, Traxo is a
splendid tonic, acting on the liver and

and is recommended for use in connection
with Fruitola to build up and
