WOULD BE ARTISTS ARE DISAPPOINTED , ! BY SONG PUBLISHER ! From the Detroit News! Perhaps fortunes can be made from writing popular song hits, but they aren't made from publishing houses who advertise for eong manuscripts which they offer to set to music and make the writer rich. Certain bouses In the middle "West have made a specialty of working on former service men. The New York State Bureau of Rehabilitation, established to aid former service men, decided to investigate. The Bureau engaged a man to write a poem and instructed him to do his worst. This is what he turned out: "Begorra, bejabbers, bedad and bejov. Be the band o me hat, be the heel of me brogue,

New Years resolutions are now in

order. Many suggestions might be

offered Post C luminaries, which, if followed, probably would materially lessen the crime wave, particularly in

the postage stamp department. Some

one intimates that the city council might 'with profit resolve to devote

one evening, each month to the re

peal or revision of 'dead or freak or

dinances.

H. Shuman Jones, press chairman

of Post C, is dead, e cannot rea

iize it. and can hardly believe it. Truly "Death loves a shining mark.'

Just a few evenings since, he was the life of the Saturday night meeting of

the board,' looking the personification of good health and happiness. Last Sunday morning he passed out and

was laid to rest in Earlhanr. cemetery : on Wednesday, the 27th. Shuman was a real man. He came to Richmond from Milton with the old Hoo-

teier Drill company,- and afterwards

was connected with the Starr Piano

comnany. both here and on tb Pa

cific coasf, but the majority of his

lire was spent among his host of friends in Richmond. . He' counted that day lost which gave' him no oppuortnity to make a new ' friend or serve an old one. He was a broad, bright and cheery . soul, always optimistic, always friendly, always help

ful. He never shirked a civic , or so

cial duty, was popular in lodge and

club circles,. unusually generous in bis

support of all worthy causes and an

unfailing advocate of peace and good will. His passing leaves a tremendous

gap in our community. The sympa

The composition was mailed to the publishing house. The reply praised the song writer. Undoubtedly a new popular song hit had been written, according to the glowing missive. Enclosed was a bond and contract The

company guaranteed a 4 per cent royalty on all copies sold, but the writer

must pay $42 to pay for setting the

words to music. Fifty free copies of the eong would be given to the writer. The only pledge is that the song will

be published and fifty copies given the writer. There is no promise to push sales of the song, and, so far as known, there never have be"en any recordbreaking sales of such songs. Then came a letter from the chief composer, promising to exert his best efforts to set the composition to music. It is mimeographed and rubber stamped. No one has been discovered to have become rich from such efforts.

POLISH PATRIOT GAVE - SERVICES TO AMERICA

Poles point with justifiable pride to the part played by Tardeusz Kosciusko, their national hero, In the Revolutionary war, and especially to the part he played in trie victory at Saratoga, which won for America not only the campaign, but her recognition as an

independent nation from Louis XVI. But Kosciusko's services did not in the first instance receive the full recognition tl might have been expected from the new republic. He alone of all the superior officers of the Revolution received no promition other than that given wholesale by congress, and was forced to apply personally to Washington to. rectify, the omission. In language not too cordial, Washington presented his request to

congress, which conferred upon Kosciusko the rank of brigadier-general.

Kosciuszko was a visitor in "Paris

when the envoys from America were there on their mission of enlisting the help of France in the conflict of the states with Great Britain. He heard the story of a young country striving

for her Independence. He came at

once to America, and as a volunteer offered his services to the United States to fight in the cause of freedom. During the war he was an engineer, with rank of colonel.

With the memories or tne Revolution burnt into his soul, 10 years later Kosciusko led a more desperate throw for a freedom to him incomparably dearer Ms own country's. Detroit News.

Mrs. lAvenia A. Nixon, ;aunt of Secretary Marcus I Hasty, was laid to rest Tuesday afternoon.- Mrs. Nixon was born In Richmond in 1S40, and lived her all of her life. Big, genial E. D.

A genuine holiday breeze always pervades the atmosphere when E. D. blows in, no matter what time of tli year it may be. If he . feels as well as he looks, he is certainly
