Help make it a real help to the county committee. The bogus check experts who worked the merchants of this city last Saturday evening certainly hud their work well planned and <«ecuted it with u smoothness that permitted them to quietly board a train on the Clover Leaf and speed to other fields. They should be apprehended and punched. even If the loss already sustained has to be doubled. The proposed third party seems to hare agreed on Senator LuFollette as the candidate for president but have not yet pl< ked the man for vicepresident. The job is being offered to Jo.-' piius Daniela, Senator Wheel•r. Judge Brandies and others, the idea being to hook on a democrat. S< nator La Follette says he doesn’t expect to win this year but to drive the republicans out to such a decree that his progressive party will come strong in 1928. While the new party stands for some good things, they are too radical In most and control of the nation in their hands might be dagery ous. We are goliiK to have a Chautauqua this year.

Face to Face With King George V — The Ruler of the British Empire (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) The first time I saw King George he was a stripling of royalty atteud!ing the funeral of the Comte de 'l’arls, just outside of London. He was • the Naval Piince and was titled J Duke of York. The resemblance to i iib- grandmother Queen Victoria, was | ti.king in the large bulging blue •yea and serine poise. His older brother. Clarence, had died, and he was then the heir-apparent to the throne and kuowu as the "Sailor I’l iu< e." In Ills youtli King George had travel, d extensively throughout the domain of the British Empire, through the Dominion of Canada, Australia, and iudia. Despite his career as a sea rover in hi* early days, the Ideal <:f a home dusters about the family life of the reigning sovereign of

Gie.it Britain. Attired in a silk hat and a princely . Pr'nce-Albert coat, heavily-creased trousers and lavender gloves, carrying a case and a kerchief with a purple border, 1 walked through Hyde Park one day feeling that every one was looking at me and thinking •’There goes either a Duke or a damn fool." In the great corridor at Bucking ham Palace where King George was bora, I waited with a companion, the President of the Seaman’s Union, to meet the King of England. It was during the dark days of the World War. when Americans were most welcomed in the British Isles and on the continent. The great doors swung open and we stood in the presence of royalty without a tremor Greeted in a friendly way. there was little of regal formality. There were com meats on baseball that cheered my American heart. Some years before. I had seen King George when his father. King Edward VII. was crowned in Westminster Ab bey. The scene that impressed me most was when the Prince of Wales now King George V. advanced U> touch «he crown of Ms father—for the Prince of Wales is the first U> swear fealty after the coronation of a British King. When the father put his arms about the sun and the eon embraced his father, it glorified filial

the latter could Improve his methods by paying on account an he can. It Is better to pay 25 per cent, at stated intervals than to hold up payment Kverybody like* the foruwr sort; but until enough money has accumulated to wipe out un a< count. Any merchant would prefer to receive pay meats by the week than to wait tor five or six or seven weeks ami then roceive the same amount that would lutve been pmd in weekly payments. Il Is a good thing for any man to barn that even It he cun not pay un account in full it is his duty uot to wait, but to pay what he «an; such paynwels get back into business, help th« merchant who bus given him credit, make It plain that he Is keeping bis eye on hi* account, and causes the opinion that he means to pay as quickly as he can. Il ought t<> be the plan of every titan who buys on tredlt to pay a certain part of Ills account at, stated Intervals; It is far better for cv-rylsaly concerned tor him to pay in thia way than to wait 1 until he has accumulated rnouch to puy the whole account.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT,WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19. 1921.

KING GEORGE wielas less power than the President of the United States. les of paternal kinship. Tile coutiast between the hollo-' given King George V in the I'ni'i <1 ' States of our day and that of K.n.;: 'Jeorge Hi of the days vs Georg" Washington indicates how far swings the pendulum of history. Many luinlsterg have conic and I gone in tlie brief but stirring years since King George has been on the, throne, from the Coalition Cabinet of

,loyd George to the conservative I ministry of Bonar Law and Baldwin, >n to the present labor government >f Ramsay McDonald. He has mainained a poise that helps to hold the , equilibrium of the Empire. The v.irud political upheavals, the stern realities of a World War. will make lis reign conspicuous in English hisi ory. While the President of the United , States may wield more power than , the rul*r of England, there is some tiling about “The King" that reigns supreme in the British heart. Just as when we say ’’The Flag.” everyone stands at attention. There is semi ■ thing in the Anglo-Saxon heart that impels" respect for the flag and ’.o' royalty, not because of the man or -.he mere symbol, but because each * represents the sovereignty . of individual liberty. It is safe to sing "God Save the King” in the Unhid States in these piping days of peace. The relations of King George to the Irish Free State reflect his placid equalimity, demonstrating his happy faculty of getting along with people-and that’s about all there is to life, whether patrician or plebeian, royalty or prole tariut. It is an achievement in this disgruntled lime for any one of prom tncnce to rimain long in popular favor,'royalty or otherwise.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOl’- , IC—-Solomon* Wlidom aud Folly. lOt NO PEOPLE AND ADt LT TOPlC—Diasuua i ron) Solomon a Reign. Here again we must go outside of the particular text assigned and make n survey of Solomon's reign. I. Solomon Anointed King (I Kings j 1:3-40). Duvitl had heretofore failed to sh.->'.v the people who should be king after I him <v. 20). Through the combined ! appeals of Bathsheba and Nathan, ite ' I is now stirred to action. He immedi- 1 ately sent for the faithful three. Za- 1 I d«k, Nathan and Benalah, and bade them to anoint Solomon king. They speedily executed their commission, I and soon the people shouted, "Gml | save King Solomon." 11. Solomon's Wise Choice (II Chron 1:7-12). 1. God's Gracious Offer (v. 7). Tills . offer followed Solomon's lavish sacrl- I five to the Lord. God said, “Ask what 1 shall give thee," thus placing very wide possibilities before the king. God, as it were, signed blank clie, ks and turned them over to Solomon to fill In any amount that his heart desired. Tills offer to Solomon was no exce|»tional one, for opportunities equally limitless are placed before tta. God : is saying tn every one of His children, “Ask. and it shall be given you." ‘ (John 15:7). | 2. Solomon’s Wise Choice (vv. 8-19). j Tlie Lord’s gracious offer brought the | kiug face to face with the responslbll- . Ity of making bls choice. Solomon OK not ask for wisdom for vain ills- | Hay, but for the good of others. He j desired Inward worth, not outward show. In this choice, be asked for two particular things: (1) That God's promise to his father. David, might be eatgMiabed. (2) That wisdom would be given to , liirn to |>erforui his duties. 3. God’s Unstinted Gift to Solomon (v. 11). Solomon's petition pleased the Ixird.. Because be put wisd. in first God saw that he could be trusted with material Roods also. 111. The Glory of Solomon's Reign. 1. His Extensive Kingdom (I Kings 4:21-25). He ruled over the kingdoms from the Euphrates river to tl,e Mediterranean sea. except the Phoenicians, and they were In alliance with him. 2. Hi* Great Wisdom (I Kings 4:29 34). It excelled that of the Chaldeans, Persians* and Egyptians. He hnd a singularly comprehensive mind, lie was: (1) A moral philosofdier. He spake three thouaand proverbs. (2) A poet. His songs were one thousand five. (3) A botanist. He a|>ake of trees from ths cedar tree, which was in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop. (4) A geologist. He spake of beasts and of fawl, and of creeping things, and of fishra. 3. The Temple (I Kings 56). This was an exact reproduction of the tabernacle, double in size, executed ia marble and gold. The amount of labor, skill and money expended on the Imliding was exeuedingly great (1 Chron. 22:14-16). 4. Hi* Royal Palacaa Adjoining the Temple (I King* 7). He wa» nearly twice as long In building these a* in l>ui!ding the Lord’s house. 6. Ills Commerce (I King* t»:2d-28. • 'oinparejl Chron. 9 and lu:21). His trading aliips went east as fur aa tha Indian ocean, perhaps even to India; ind west aa far as Xpatn. 6. Ills Army and Navy (I Kings 10:28-29). This was for wore than display. He put hl* nation Into a state of props redness. This greatness was associated with the name of the Txvrd. It was known that hla fame was due to bl* relaUoti with tho living God. IV. Solomon's Failure (1 Kings 11:612). Beranse Holomon <U<! evil In the sight />f the Lord, the Lord was angry with him and assured him that tbs kingdom would be rent from him and given ts bls servant.

By F.

We are not sure but we think it was Uncle Jimmy Coffee who ventured the information thut he had other troubles to think of for that very morning he had gotten back from the clock man his “grandfather" dock upposedly repaired and the darn
