THE BANNER, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 24, 1913.
RIGHTS TO THE PATENTEE.
The United States Supreme Court decision a short while since in the
Sanatogcn case will be sweeping in its effect. Sanatogen is a nerve tonic
manufactured by a certain chemical company. It is patented and the com
pany is protected by all the rights guaranteed by the patentee under the na
tional patent laws.
This company issued a notice to all druggists that any sale of this arti
cle for less than $1 would be an infringement of patent rights and would
subject the violator of the law to severe punishment. A certain druggist in
Washington persisted in selling this article at less than one dollar, where
upon the company sought an injunction and the case finally reached the
United States Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court, by a vote of 5 to 4, handed down a decision in
which it was held that the granting of a patent does not grant a privilege to
keep up prices and prevent competition by notices restricting the price at
which the article may be re-sold. It holds that a patentee who has parted
with a machine by passing title to a purchaser has placed the article beyond
the limits of the monopoly secured by the patent act.
There is no doubt but that the patent laws have in many cases fostered
monoply and aided in creating trusts, and it is predicted by those who have
made a study of the question that the effect of this decision will be to very
greatly check the growth of trusts in many directions.
FOUNDING SCHOLARSHIPS.
The determination of the Class of 1888 to erect a permanent memorial
to the class by establishing a scholarship fund in the University of Georgia
Is most commendable. The sum of three thousand dollars is to be raised
within the next five years and the interest from this sum of money is to be
loaned to worthy students under the same terms as govern the Brown Schol
arship Fund.
If each class this side the class of 1888 would do the same thing the total
of the class fund would amount to seventy-five thousand dollars or hall
again as much as the sum with which the Brown Fund was started.
The fund established by Senator Joseph E. Brown in memory of his de
ceased son, Charles McDonald Brown, has grown from fifty thousand dollars
to more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and will continue gain
ing at the rate of three or four thousand dollars per annum as the boys pay
back their loans, since all the repayments are added to the corpus of the
fund and only the interest on the money repaid is even loaned again.
Tho fund of the class of 1888 when once started will also continue to
gain and in twenty years will amount to ten thousand dollars. So would otn-
er funds of this kind grow. The other classes should take up this idea and
add to the scholarship funds of the University.
There are hundreds of worthy young Georgians every year who would be
delighted to attend the University and who really are hungry for the educa
tion afforded here, but who have not the necessary funds to defray their
expenses. The loan of one hundred dollars a year would mean their secur
lng a great education. Here is where the Brown Fund is doing a great work
for forty-four young men every year at the University and eighteen at Dali
lonega. "Vet three times as many boys apply for help from this fund as re
ceive it. It is always impossible to put all the applicants on the list of bene
ficiaries. Here is where the class scholarship funds will come in.
The class of 1897 has for several years maintained a scholarship, though
it is not permanently endowed. It is much better to permanently endow the
scholarship and make it a loan rather than a gift.
The different classes of the University of Georgia have an opportunity
to do a world of good if they will avail themselves of it.

THE ANNUAL FARMERS’ INSTITUTES.
It has not been so many years since the holding of Farmers' Institutes
was begun by the State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in this
state and from the modest beginning made by that institution this splendid
system of agricultural instruction has been expanded until, under the direc
tion has been expanded until, under the direction of President Soule it has
become one of the most useful and most satisfactory agencies in the South
for the dissemination of information and the improvement of agricultural
methods.
The annual summer sessions of these institutes are about to begin and
for the next three months thousands upon thousands of adult farmers in
Geotgia will attend them and go back to their farms after having gained
much useful information that will enable them to make better and more
profitable crops.
It has been demonstrated that great good comes from the holding ot
these institutes and that each year the attendance upon them increases and
the interest In the work is greater and greater. The value to Georgia agri
culture of these annual institutes can scarcely be computed in dollars and
cents.
The state has for years been appropriating two thousand five hundred
dollars per annum to cover the expenses of this work. This sum is entirely
inadequate. It should be at least doubled or trebled, and even a larger sum
than that would be money well-invested.
Head o! the Cliff-Buddha
The strange cliff-Buddha of Kiatang, whose head is here pictured, is
about 150 feet in height. It is full length and the feet are washed by a foam
ing mountain torrent. It was, indeed, to guard against the dangers of the
rapids here that the figure was cut In the cliff-side by the life-long labor of a
single priest The rock Is rather soft and, as can be seen, there is much
earth In the crevices which has been utilized for a monstrous growth of hair,
eyebrows and mustache.

While the legislature which essem-
bl<s tomorrow is passing bills it might
bo the proper thing for them to pass
a few twenty dollar bills this way.
Wo certainly should not feel it our
duty to veto them.

The commissioner of labor makes a
most interesting report. In the wage
list made the prices paid to printers
is set down, "from $7 to $35 a week."
The lowest to the highest wages
noted are assigned to the expert
men who handle tho “types.”
The Athens chamber of commerce
is doing high grade, permanent work
in the study of the taxation question
—os prosecuted by the special com
mittee of the best men available for
the work, men who know their several
lines well and are conversant with
the great public question of taxation
also.
»
The Athens chamber of commerce
has done the state at large—as well
as primarily the city of Athens—a
distinct service In securing the con
scientious, careful, able work of such
a body of business men as compose
the committee on taxation which
makes Its report to the trade body at
the meeting tonight.
The legislature meets tomorrow—
the tax question should be the first
matter taken up. If nothing else is
dene but devise a more nearly fair
system of taxation that all property
may be brought to the digests and
bear an honest share of the burdens
of government, then the legislators
will be entitled to the thanks of the
generation and several others to fol
low.

TURNS HER HAIR GRAY
Turning her hair gray, the shock
caused by worry over an accident has
deprived Mrs. Alexander Furst of Ja
maica, N. Y„ of a fine wealth of chest
nut hair. Although 64 years old she
had not, till recently, a gray hair.
Worry over the fact that her daugh
ter and son-in-law had a narrow es
cape from asphyxiation caused the
hair to change. Some days ago, her
daughter, Gladys Arnold, and her hus
band, Felix Arnold, actors, returned
to the home of Mrs. Furst after a
theatrical engagement. In turning out
the light In their room tbey accident
ally turned the gas jet on again.
Shortly after they bad retired Mrs.
Furst was startled by a thump on the
floor, quickly followed by another.
She hurried upstairs to find her
daughter and her son-in-law uncon
scious. A physician, Dr. Helm, of the
Jamaica hospital, was called, and
brought the victims to after an hour’s
work.
A large arctic hawk, measuring
nearly four feet from tip to tip, was
brought in on the steamship Minneso
ta when the vessel arrived at Seattle,
Wash., a few days ago. The bird had
joined the Minnesota south of the
Aleutian islands, following the wake
of the ship many hours, and finally
alighted on the top mast. Heavy gales,
which had swept the Alaskan coast
for a few days before, drove hundreds
of small birds to Bea. and as these
sought refuge In the rigging they be
came the prey to the great hawk. Aft
er feasting all afternoon the hawk
perched on the mainmast, where it
prepared to pass the night. A Jap
anese boy in the steward's crew plan
ned otherwise, and, equipped with a
gunny sack, be mounted the mast and
slipped the bag over the bird’s head.
The ship’s captain, Thomas Garllck,
presented the hawk to the Seattle park
board, which will place It in one of the
city parks.

Devil’s Tower in Wyoming
One of the most stupendous and curious of Nature’s freaks in the western
part of the United States, which has been set aside by the federal govern

This remarkable natural edifice, which Is about 500 feet high, is a great rock
cone protruding from the top of a red sandstone hill. At the base of the hill
flows the Belle Fourche river, which carries fertility to the rich but dry lands
of this part of the west. Strange as It may appear the Devil’s Tower is not
