From office boy to bishop In the
Methodist Episcopal church is the rec
ord held by the Rev. Dr. Charles L
Mead, for the last six years pastor of
Trinity Methodist church, Denver. He
was named a bishop at the general
conference of the church at Des
Moines.
Doctor Mead was born in Vienna,
N. J., in 1868, the son of the Rev. and
Mrs: Joshua Mead. At the age of six
teen, after graduating from a prepara
tory school, he gained employment
with the Merchants’ National bank of
Hackettstown, N. J., ns an office boy,
where he remained for three years,
when he decided to take up the min
istry.
While attending New York uni
versity he became a football star. He
was also on the university basebal’
nine. Bishop Mead was graduated
from New York university in 1806 and
later from Drew Theologicul seminary.
After being ordained he was awarded the doctor's degree from Syracuse uni
versity.
He became pastor at Newark, N. J.; HobokeD, N. J., and Baltimore, Md.
Before going to Denver, six years ago, he was pastor of Madison Avenue
church, New York city.
He was asked to accept service with the overseas Y. M. C. A. with a
promise that he would be sent to the front. He sailed for France early in
April, 1918, where he remained for six months. As a Y. M. C. A. chaplain he
served on all fronts and traveled throughout France in the interest of the
soldiers of the A. E. F. Most of his time, however, was spent with the Sev
enty-seventh and Seventy-eighth divisions.
"Whats the matter with Alaska?”
bids fair to take the place of the his
toric inquiry regarding Kansas. Gov.
Thomas Riggs, Jr., was asked this
question the other day in Washington,
thus:
“Governor, what's the matter with
Alaska? Some people refer to it as
the most bedeviled, harassed and gov
ernment-pecked possession of the Unit
ed States. We have always been un
der the impression that the Alaskan
country was rich in gold, silver, cop
per, coal, timber, fine agricultural
lands and other vast natural re
sources and therefore ought to be mak
ing rapid strides in advancement along
all lines. Yet we understand it is
neither progressing nor even standing
still, but is actually going backward.
What’s the answer?”
“There is absolutely nothing the
matter with Alaska,” was his quick
and earnest reply. “We have every
thing that goes to make a solid, permanent community. We have all the
precious and commercial metals, the coal and oil possibilities, timber in plenty,
the world’s greatest fisheries, agricultural and grazing lands and a small but
prosperous population.
“There is, though, something radically wrong with the management The
whole government of the territory is a crazy quilt.
“The discouraged settler pulls his stakes and packs Ills freight in disgust.”
Mead: From Office-Boy to Bishop
Queen Can’t Play Second Fiddle
Queen Marie of Roumania is too
clever to play second fiddle to a pres
idential election in the United States.
So she and King Ferdinand have de
cided to postpone their visit till next
spring. King Ferdinand says he’s
busy to come this year.
"After Queen Marie and I visit
Bessarabia and pay official calls at
some European capitals,” sold the
king, "we will be able to plan our trip
to America, to which we are both look
ing forward with great pleasure.”
Queen Marie, however, remarked
that the American people “would
have no time to receive a queen while
busy selecting a president.”
“I am afraid,” she continued, “I
should be in the way If I went to your
country in the midst of a national po
litical campaign. As practical people
you must be more interested in presi
dents than in queens. I think next
spring would be a better time to go

its guest and offers have been made by railroad officials for our

The Macedonian Cry for Economy
1(D Wettern Nrwipawr Union’
Senator W. H. King of Utah
(Dem.), Is active in any debate on
matters of economy. He said recently
in a debate on the proposed budget
system, in part:
"We have believed that our re
sources were limitless and that no im
providence nor extravugance coifld
jeopardize nor endanger our future.
We have regarded our country as vast
in area and unrestricted in power.
We have employed the microscope.
We have insisted upon doing big
things in a big way. We have op
posed conservation and economy and
thrift and a jealous regard for the
small things whether they were mate
rial or abstract.”
This characteristic is pre-eminent
ly American and has found expression
in our private lives, in our business af
fairs, and In our administration of our
municipal, state and national govern
ments. This view, which has become
a national trait, has developed a spirit of prodigality and extravagance. \Ve
have not worked Intensively nor applied ourselves with the scientific and in
vestigating spirit to the details of life.
“There must be a radical change among the people.
“The curriculum of our school should be so modified as to impress upon
the coming generation the imperative necessity of tin 1ft and the dignity and
Mcmlnrsg of labor.”

i
Tifton.—Although work for the first
year at the Coastal Plain Experiment
station is necessarily largely work of
preparation, it being necessary to clear
the land, erect needed buildings,
strong fences, etc., despite the scarcity
of labor and the high price of building
material, the preliminary work has
made good progress, and quite a lot
of experimental work has been done.
Brunswick. — W. L. Wright, the
young white man who forged a check
on a local merchant a short time ago,
and who was captured after a lively
chase, entered a plea of guilty in the
city court and was sentenced to serve
eight months on the chaingang or pay
a fine of $100. As yet the young man
has been unable to pay the fine. It
is understood that lie is wanted in
other cities on a similar charge.
Savannah.—Mrs. J. D. Boney, con
victed in the city court several weeks
ago of shoplifting, has withdrawn her
application for a new trial and has
decided to accept her sentence of one
year at the state farm at Milledge-
vllle. She will he taken soon to begin
her sentence. J. D. Boney, husband
of the convicted woman, who was him

tion law and sentenced to a year on
the county gang, lias not withdrawn
his plea for a new trial. This will be
argued before Judge Rourke
Savannah.—General predictions here
of advances in rents the coming fall
are discussed everywhere in the city.
It is said that dealers generally ad
mitted that over the country rentals
would be raised to make investments,

measures designed to prohibit extor
tionate and unjust rent charges have
been prepared and will be given the
Chatham members of the legislature
for presentation at the approaching
term of the Georgia general assembly.

What a lot of argument there used
to be aboyf a woman driving an
automobile
T ODAY she can “make a
train” or fix a tire as well
as anybody.
As soon as a luxury becomes
a necessity the point of view
changes.
II
Two or three years ago you
would have listened to more
varying opinions about tires
than you could shake a stick
at. Mileages, construction,
treads and whatnot.
It*s different now. Tire users
are working towards a unani
mous feeling.
You express it one way—
the man down the street
another. But sifted down it
amounts to this:
That the only way to settle
Select your tires ac
cording to the roads
they have to travel:
In sandy or hilly coun
try, wherever llie going is
apt to be heavy — The
U. S. Nobby.
your tire problem is to get a tire
of known value and stick to it.
Ill
We recommend and sell
U. S. Tires because their value
is known.
There’s no guess about it.
It was the U. S. quality
policy which led to the per
fection of the straight-side
automobile tire, the pneumatic
truck tire—two of the greatest
additions to tire value that
have ever been made.
As representatives of the
oldest and largest rubber con
cern in the world, we are in a
position to tell you something
about tire values. Come in
some day and talk to us.
For ordinary country
roads—The U. S. Chain
or Ueco.
For front wheels— The
U. S. Plain.
For best results—every
where—U. S. Royal Cords.
