The money is to be used for a loan fund for worthy students of The Western, who are in need of financial aid to finish their' college course. Rev. Holliday has a deep interest"in the. Western since three of his daughters graduated from the school. They are, Eleanor Holliday Llewellyn of Lahore, India; Dorothy Holliday Cummings of the Punjab, India, and Maty Grace Holliday, of Detroit, Michigan. Miss Holiday was formerly a pro* fessor in Cedarvilie College, FLORIDA WEATHER WORST FOR MANY YEARS Mr. Charles Marshall, who has been spending the winter in Orlando, Fla., states in a letter received by friends here, that the. weather this winter has been the worst of hin four years wintering there. He states the orange and grapefruit crop is not yet half picked, due to low price3, and the frees are again blossoming for a new crop. By way of comparison he says that it takes about seven or eight bushels of oranges to pay for one bushel of apples. How many sturdy Americans willing. to serve their country are now planning to be President, do. you "suppose? There was a general feeling that McAdoo had the Demo­ cratic nomination unless ’At Smith could get it away from him. It seemed certain that Mr. Coolidge had the Republican nomination by an overwhelming majority on the first ballot. But a little oil makes a great difference in the political situation, and now anybody has a tight to hope. Many an ambitious American is spending his dollars now, handing them to ’ ’political experts” in re­ turn for Presidential promises. There are probably at the least one thousand “serious” candidates at this moment. . - I I I - ■ Friendly- warning to big men in­ clined to injure business and scare little stockholders in revenge for the Senate oil investigation, DON’T DO IT. It won't pay you in the Jong run, and, besides, it is written, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves * * * vengeance is Mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.” - I l l - Public officials have had a warn­ ing, learned afl lesson. Some will get more than a lesson. "Valuable trutln have come out; others are coming. On the whole it's a small thing.- which really doesn't amount to much more than catching little Willie telling a fib. No reason for breaking up the family. Send Willie to beo and let business go on. WILLIAM W. MITCHELL DIES IN LOUISVILLE, KY. Word was received here Dayton authorities that. through William Itjitcholl, aged about 70, had -died in a hospital in Louisville, Ky.j Tuesday and his body was losing held at the morgue awaiting wdJfd from relatives. The deceased was ^tie son of the late S .K. Mitchell “ and; for yearn the father and son wer<f engaged in the lumber business ware Andrew Bros! coal yard is now located. ■ Foliowing,a fire or two with finan­ cial reverses, the btmdneSs was closed out, Mr. Mitchell left his family and located.many years,’ ago in jtouisville where he has since*-lived to- himself. The family*later United: in Dayton where we und^tefljfcpmatf members Murderer o f Four Another copper .concern, the In cpiraiioti Copper Company, followed the example o f the big Anaconda, and skipped its dividend. That means bad salesmanship and not enough advertising. If the copper men would explain, through adver- tiring in plain language, what copper means and what it SAVES in build­ ing, no company able to produce copper at 20 cento a pound, or better, need lack business. ***•|il *“ * Tho House at last will take up Henry Ford's Muscle Shoals offer. It seems hard to get anything mow can stop this, foolishness, but com mon intelligence and decency should stop it, IF ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE NEGRO RACE. The dullest mind connected with that theater must know that to show a white woman falling on her knees and kissing a negro’s hand is a bad thing fori the colored people, of whom there are tens of thousands in New York—to say nothing of millions elsewhere. O 4 — HI— Attorney General Daugherty de­ clares that “if some Senators do not resign he, Daugherty, will cause some splash.” Mr. Daugherty khows the differ­ ence between a “ splash” and a little ripple. Tho public will watch for the splash with interest. The Attorney General could reveal more about the real character of certain officials than half a dozen oil in­ vestigations. He knows what sena­ tors and others are trying to do, whom they are trying to shield, and whom they seek to prosecute. Publication of Mr. Daugherty’s private information would cause a “ splash” indeed. - ! ! ! - . There is even worse news about whales than about bees.

What we want to know is who was the originator of the famous February 2nd, Ground Hog story about the shadow and spring. It was the general opinion that Mr. G. Hog never saw his shadow here that day. But frfim what has happened since in the way of weather we arc inclined to think the story a good joke. Then we had the lioisattd lamb weather for the first of March. All signs have failed so far this year on weather predictions.

PRESIDENT COMES TO AID OF FARMERS The whole country will applaud President Cqolidgo ’ in his action in mcreasing the import duty on wheat md wheat products by 40 per cent. The strength of any country is in ,he people who live- upon its soil. The one bad spot id America to-day is the condition of wheat farmers, compelled by world circumstances beyond their control to sell their moducts at pre-war' prices and pay post-war prices for everything, they bfiy, The president’s action will -assist n .this upward price adjustment of yheat products, and will call a -halt .o what seems an endless procession >f farmers moving into bankruptcy.; BEFORE THE DAYS OF “ TRUTH SERUM*?
