Proving that the Clvil war formed s nation and that the sons of the 3 2 gy CoDfederacy and the Union hold no malice, Capt. George K. Shuler of Lyons, N.

Accordingly, he selected Capt. Thomas P. Cheatham of South Carolina, whose follc fought against Grant in the struggle between the states for the honor.

Chicago, July 22—Railroad exec-|* ‘utives after fighting the walk-out of shopmen for three weeks are convin- ced that they can break the strike. “The success the various roads in hiring new workers has been the greatest factor behind their refusal to permit the return of strikers with full seniority rights,” a leading ex- ccutive stated today. “Eastern rail- roads especially have been successful in carrying out strike-breakers’ plans, this executive stated, “while west- ern lines are hard hit”. .

Culberson, which he has held for many years. There are too many divisions in the state it seems for the Ku Klux Klan issue to determine entirely by the outcome of tomorrow’s election, but Texas primary law requi&s majority nomination and whatever doubt re- mains as to the Klan’s strength, more than likely will be cleared up In speaking of his trip across the American continent, Marshal Foch said: “There was always the same enthuslasm, the same warmth, all through the weeks that I travelled, no matter whether we were in the West, the North, the South or the East. No matter what the wenther, thousands of men, women and children were al- ways ready with a cordial greeting.” The Marshal pald an especially high tribute to the “cordiality and friend- ship of the American Leglon,” which he sald, “rendered easy the journey of more than 26,000 kilometers in forty- five days.” OBSERVE LEE-GRANT BIRTHS American Legion Requests Commemo- ' ration on Both Sides of Mason.

The birthday of General Lee will be ob- served January 29, 1923. The Leglon's celebration of the birth of these two men, not as Northerner and Southerner, but as great Amerl- cans, will be “an effective argument that all sectionalism is buried and that the glory of the nation .is the chief concern of every patriotic citizen,” - Lemtel Bolles, adjutant of the Legion, declares, _@abscride for The Dally .Ploneer, at the second primary on August 5. | FATHER HAS BRIGHT IDEA Wanted Timepjece That Would Con- vey Something of a Hint to His Daughter’s Caller.

FINE OUTLOOK IS SEEN (Conufidea From take i rnteg.should steadily and continually decline, : “Thiy means that municipalitics should immediately adopt civie plan- ning schemes,” continued Mr. Bab- son, “and probably should make dur- ing the next tive years, such im- provements as they ordinarily would make in ten. The time to make hay is while the sun shines, and the time to. borow money on long terms is when money rates are low. Hence, cities and towns should not only bor- row during the next few years for their current needs but should borrow large sums and invest the same for use for years to come, especially dur- ing the next period of unemployment. “If cities operated in a business way they would borrow their money at times like the present, stow it a- way, and then spend it when the next period of unemployment comes. By spending it at such times, they could not only get the work done very auch cheaper, but they could perform a distinct service to the people of the community. The general cus- tom followed is the reverse. Cities now do their. construction work when is it easy to get money, which is when labor is fully employed and when everyone else is building. This is all wrong. When the period of unemployment comes it is véry difficult to borrow money for con- struction work because money is then tight and the citizens feel poor. Hence, under the present system it is impossible to do much to relieve unemployment when it comes. If an ice man attempted to follow the same system in his business as the city “official follow, he -would wait until summer to cut his ice. “For investors this means that tax exempt securities, and town bonds should now be purchased even tl}o they have already gone up some In price. Those who contemplate buy- ing should buy at once before they .| go up still nigher, When buying tax exempt issues seek the long term ones as these will show the greatest profit. All of. this should be espec- ially encouraging to the contractors and builders, as it means a great deal of public work will be done during the next few years. City water plants will be extended, more 'sewers wil be constructed, new pub- lic buildings will be eteé¢ted, and the good road movement will continue to grow. This should be welcome information,” concluded the statistic- ian, “to those who handle contract- ors’ supplies and building materials, and especially all such materials as are used by cities and towns.”” Gerieral business as reflected in the index figure of the.Babsonchart is 18 perycent below normal. This i&/an improvement of 4 pez.cent ov- or 1ast wéek-and is 10 per cent above the activity of the same week a year ago. 'Smialler failures are- helping mattets ‘considerably and further im- | provement should be reflected dur- ing the next few wéeks. et Homesick Ducks meturn.
