Washington, D. C.. May 13.—Tho
historic battlefield of YOrktown, Va..
where the British general, Cornwallis.
14.22 surrendered, and where for all practl-
12.00 cal purposes the American Revolution
13.03 was brought to a victorious conclu-
13.57 Sion, may soon be made Into a shrine
13.90 to share popularity with Bunker Hill.
Valley Forge and Mt. Vernon.
The little village and Its surround
ings form the subject of the renew
ing bnllc’ln Issued from the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
Georgraphic society:
"Though Yorktown was not a thrlv
leg community nor a place noted for
Its accessibility during Revolutionary
days. It was relatively much more
Important and much less remote (rom
the dally life ot the country than it
has been at any time since. Most
other American towns were small In
thoso days, ports were few, and rail
roads were unthought of. As cities
have sprung up where there were only
hamlets or patches of wilderness ho-
fore, and as railroads lmvo brought
oven the two oceans relatively closer
together, Yorktown. at a point where
little commerce haB been developed
and without rail connctions, has be
come in effect more and more remoto,
and its character as a sleepy village
has become more and more empha
sised.
Site of Famous Surrender a Tiny
Village.
••The Yorktown of today Is a com
munity of less than 250 Inhabitants
with a few fine old colonial homes'
and a number of less pretentious
dwellings. The nearest railroad lies'
eight miles to the south. In the town
is a monument erected In 1881 on the
ono hundredth anniversary of the sur
render of the British. As a reminder
of the early importance of Yorktown
there still exists the first customs
house In the United States. Near the
village are remains of the forts and
redoubts whose capture by the Revo
lutlonary soldiers and their French al
lies marked the real birth of the
United States. The scene of Corn
walls’ surrender—which was.by proxy
through his General O’Hara—is be
lieved to he In the open country Just
south <?f the village.
‘•Yorktown Is on a narrow peninsula
lying between the wide estuaries of
tho James and York rivers, and '
where tho latter me.ots Chesapeake
Bay. Cornwallis, after scourging
Virginia, burning homes, killing arid
driving off stock, and capturing large
numbers of slaves, retired down the
peninsula to Yorktown. Lafayette
with a handful of American soldiers
followed at a distance. It was when
this situation> was pointed out
Washington that ho was persUndod to
haudnn ht» plan to attack New York
and Instead to take his own •forces
from West Point and Rochamheatri
ililvlsion from Providence, R. I.,
stako all on a battle In tho south. Thf
arrive! of Do Grasso with a French
licet In tho Chesapeake, blocking the
entrance to that bay and and prevent
Ing reinforcements reaching Cnrnwal
Its. made the defeat of tho fatter In
evitable. ,
Wonderful Harbor Used In World War
••It la not strange" that Cornwallis
considered -Yorktown a good loentior
tor military headquarters In spito of
the ease with which the peninsula
might bo blocked. It possesses a truly
remarkable deop water harbor, ant
Cornwallis counted on the malnten
ance of communication by water with
tho heavy British forces lu New York
"Yorktown’a harbor was put to good
use during the World War and no for
the second time played an Important
part In tho country's matrlal history
In tho mouth of tho York river oppo
silo tho famous village tho greater
part of tho Atlantic fleet at times rodr
at anchor. There, behind the defenses
at tho entrance to the Chesapeake
and further protected by nets and
patrols serosa tho mouth of the York
rlreadnaugbts and leaser vessels were
sate from molestation by enemy sub
marines.' Thousands of men were In
tenalvely trained for naval duty ut
this anchorage while the whereabouts
of the fleet was kept a profound secret
The Yorktown anchorage was alluded
to In official communications through
out the war only ns 'Base 2.' ”

New Orleans, La., May 13.—Fur
ther evidence of u gradual return to
normalcy Jn international political
and trade conditions was noted today
in the rising tendency of foreign ex
change and report to effect that peace
baa been restored in Upper Sileata.
These developments are likely' but
a forerunner of' future events to
come ot Germany submitting to the
war indemnities Imposed by the allies
which Is looked upon as the last step
necessary tor the restoration pf uni
versal peace and resumption ot trade
activity.
Accordingly the cotton market
maintains a steady undertone in the
face of the continuance ot the British
coal miners’ strike, which appears to
b’ tho only obstacle remaining to hin
der the cotton market from Improv
ing.
Washington officials entertain an
optimistic opinion as to the future
and are doing everything possible to
, better the condition of agricultural In
' teresta’by planning constructive meas
ures for the purpose ot extending the
countries foreign trade and to assist
farmers financially.
In the federal reserve bank discount
rate and as the reserve of the system
Increases the tendency of Interest
rates will be to lower levels, perhaps
to pre-war levels eventually.
An yet little attention has been di
rected to the Important Indicated re
duction In tho cotton acreage this
rear because of the large surplus In
the Interior, but tbe large reserves
are offset by the prospects for a much
mailer crop for next season.
The Indicated reduction In acreage
.alone points to a yield of about 4,000,
000 bates less than last year's produc
tion, whereas results ot tbe much
smaller use of fertiliser, inferior In
quality, of the possibility of the con-
(nuance of unfavorable weather, per-
'taps serious damage by Insects, ei-
•eclslly by weevil, have to be reckon
d with, as will the possibility ot an
nrlr l ining frost In the fall.
Therefore, what appears to be c
large surplus at present may event
usllv prove to be a deficit commensu
rat* with the wants of tbe world nest
season, particularly if trade and con
sumption Increases, of which, there Is
fevery reason to anticipate.

A certain Loop hotel In Chicago
has girl operators la its elevators,
Now there Isn't any aesthetic reason
In the world why those particular girl
operators should try to Improve upon
tho beauty that nature has given them
But—well, you know women.
Most of the elevator girls In this
particular hotel achieve artistic re
suits. But occasionally one of them
puts It on In the dark, or something,
and the result Is startling.
Ono day there hung In one of the
cars a warning sign that read, “Fresh
Paint."
A talesman of tho traveling Mm!
stopped Into the car. Ho glanced at
•he sign, then at the chanffeuse and
mildly Inquired: .
“Does the sign refer to the car or
tho dporator?"
"Fresh!"' said the goddess of the
lovers;
"Ve8,” said the calosman, "so the
Sign says. Eleven, please.” .

The X-Y salesman sold a vacuum cleaner to Mrs.
Jones.
In his order book it was listed as one sale. But what
really happened was thisg
Mrs. Jones showed Mrs. Smith her new purchase,
pointing out its selling features. Mrs. Smith told Mrs.
Brown. And Mrs. Brown recommended X-Y to Mrs.
White as the best cleaner on the market
From one buyer a group of buyers had been created.
One sale, multiplied through word-of-mouth publicity, had
spread into ah endless chain.
There you have the principle of advertising. For ad
vertising is nothing more or less than individual selling
multplicd. It is its cumulative force that makes it the
dynamo of modem business.
Your advertising creates a specific number of buyers.
But does it stop there? How about the buyers those buy
ers create, for you? '
You may make a fairly accurate estimate of its direct
returns. But you can only begin to fathom the depths of
its indirect influence that radiates far, far beyond its cir
cumscribed selling bounds. And you can no more shut off
that tremedous power of multiplied ' salesmanship than
you can bottle up Niagara Falls.
Consider the circulation of The Athens Banner on
that basis. Visualize the DIRECT returns of your adver
tising from several thousand buyers; and the INDIRECT
influence of those buyers on their friends—and their
friends’ friends.
* Then—and only then—you begin to get some con
ception of the MULTIPLIED selling power behind the cir
culation that makes

THETRUECHURCH
It Is often said that everybody
ought to belong to some church, r.a
though there were a plurality, of
churches.
Adam was a figure of Him that was
to come, and slbrlde was evidently
a type of Christ's churches. -Man did
not make the natural bride, neither
does man make tho spiritual bride or
church of God.
Evo did not perform any conditions
to become Adam's wife. Her will was
not consulted. She tyarl no will, no
life, no strength before God msdo her
nnd gave her tb Adam.
Hence the church was wholly pas
sive in being made tho brido of Christ,
Adam In the figure had only ono wife;
with whom ho died, so Christ liaa only
ono brido the true,-church of God.
