VALENTINE DAY The Lover May Buy Rich Ones This Year. Valentine day is scheduled for the 14th day of February and already the offering to the patron saint of that day is beginning to put in an appearance in Decatur stores. The wholesale dealers throughout the country report an unusally heavy advance order from retailers for valentines, and hun | dr.Nls of thousands of dollars worth of those productions will be disposed of during the season. The gen eral tendency of this year's valentines is more toward art productions than the hideous caricitures and the inisy laoe paper affairs with bunches of flowers, eupid and : doves gummed on here and there. Arrows and hearts, cupid and his effective jxx'try an 1 still leaders for the epistles of the matchmaking day. but productions are more ar fistic some of them being handsome enough for the recipient to want

mu INO SON The Two Chamberlains Form Central Figure in Remarkable Drama. Opening of British Parpament Offered One of the Most Singular Scenes in History. No Playwright Could Have Devised a More Curious Situation Than This. London. Feb. 3.—“ My right honorable friend, the member from West Birmingham.'' as Austen Chamberlain described his father, was the central figure in the drama that marked the opening of parliament. No playwright could have devised a more curious situation. For the first time in years Joseph Chamberlain took his seat as a private member of the house of commons, and was separated

Until I that moment .Mr. Ac si rs Douglas, secretary jf state for home affairs, was generally expected to take Premier Bailor's place, and interest in the proceedings was heightened by the fact that Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, ■he lub*ral leader, had just concluded a merciless satire on Austen Chamberlain’s father The situation was without parallel in the recollection of the oldest politician, and all eyes were fixed alternately upon the father and the son Joseph Chamberlain, who had sat unmoved under the ridicule of the Liberal leader, turned nervously toward his son who now takes precedence over him With his monocle in his eye an orebid ia bis buttonhole and his hands clasped across his knees, the most prominent figure in the Brit ish empire sat and listened to his owe defense from the lips erf hi* son Austen Chamberlain spoke halting’.* and under evident strain; yet. when he referred to his father, it was always a* “the member from West B.r mingtam" There was a tinge of !n»pem.oeed feeling in his words which . brought constantly to his hearers a real, tat tot of the rehrkm htomwaa the two men Sow and again jeers greet •d ’be yowngesg member of the mbtact, wherrapoa. with -nrairtakable anger. t;s father turned his glance in the iirecttae of the offender and oeraatocallT Jcweph t'hamberiain cheer erf his »c® with an en>;hat’e "Hear.
