I*. S. GOVERNMENT TO
PAY FOE COTTON TAK
EN BY SHERMAN.
United States court of claims
lias handed down a judgment
awarding $176,666,79 to stock
holders of the Old Importing
and Exporting Company ot the
State of Georgia, for cotton
seized by Sherman in his mem
orable march to the sea in 1805.
The litigation was instituted
shortly after the civil war.
When Sherman's army en
tered Savannah the company
had great quantities of cotton
in warehouses. General Sher
man ordered it confiscated.
Some of it was used by the
army, but the greater portion
was shipped to Boston and sold
there. The proceeds from the
sale were deposited in the l ni
ted States treasury and the
money' has been kept intact.
The supreme court in the early
days after the war held that the
monev belonged to the claim
ants. The loyalty test statute
barred practically every south
ern man interested. The loy
alty test was removed by con
gress in 1905.

WHEN GERMANS QUIT.
The total strength of the
United States army on Novem
ber 11, when tin* armistice was
signed and when the American
war effort was at its peak was
3,703,273 officers and men, in
cluding the marine corps on du
ty with the army in Europe. A
statistical table made public to
day by the war department
gives these figures.
Included in the table is a
comparative statement of the
strength of allied and German
forces on the western front by
months, beginning April 1,
1918, showing that on July 1,
for the first time, the “rifle
strength" exceeded that of the
Germans.
In rifle strength, which means
men “standing in the trenches
ready to go over the top with
the bayonet, the allied total on
July I was 1,556,000 compared
with 1,412,000 for the Ger
mans.
On November 1, when the en
emy's reserves bad been ex
hausted and bis front line
strength reduced by about half,
the allies had rifle strength of
1,485,000, representing odds of
upward of two to one.

The Instrument of Quality
mf 1 “SONORA”
ipjipij Clear as a bell.
THE HIGHEST CLASS TALKING
MACHINE IN TIIE WOULD
jrx 'JkjA A- critical comparison of all Phonographs
a R invariably results in favor of the SONORA
I PI * and some of the features which have helped
sf to build up the wonderful reputation which
SONORA has justly earned are as follows:
TONE QUALITY—At the Panama-Pacific International Ex
position, 1915, SONORA was awarded the highest score for Tom*
Quality, in competition with all the well known makes of Phonographs
on the market. Tone is the essence of a Phonograph, and in no in
stance does the Sonora excel to a greater degree.
TONE CONTROL —Every Sonora instrument is equipped with
a Tone Modifier, protected by the patent rights. Tone must be modi
fied, NOT MUFFLED, it must be controlled at its source. This is the
Sonora way. Sonora Tone is modified without interfering with the
quality of reproduction.
TIME-AMPLIFIER —Madjt* of wood throughout, the Sonora tone
amplifier is perhaps the most expensive part of the Sonora instru
ment, with the exception of the Cabinet and Motor, the soul of the
Stradivari is its wooden tone chamber, and so it is with the Sonora.
MOTOR —Sonora Motors arc of the finest construction possible,
and run with a precision and silence that is quite uncommon in Pho
nographs, and in power or running time, they have no equal. Sonora
Motors run from 15 to 30 and 50 minutes with one winding.
SOUND BOX —As much care is taken in the selection of the ma
terials and in the assembling of the Sonora Sound Box as in the finest
watch, the watch is made to register accurately to the second, or even
possibly to the tenth of a second. A Sonora Sound Box is made to per
form even a more difficult task —to record hidden sounds from fine tin
dulations, which cause hundreds of vibrations each second.
UNVERSALITY —Sonora instruments are equipped with a re
versible or miners, tube, which enables the playing of Steel Needles,
Diamond or Sapphire Records withoutchanging of tubes.
Then there is the Sonora Envelope Filing System, remarkable for
its simplicitv and neatness, Sonora Automatic Stop, Simple and accu
rate, The CERTIFICATE of GUARANTY, guaranteeing the instru
ment as to perfection of operation, aterials and workmanship.
Consider the above points of superiority, and your choice MUST
be the “SONORA.”

“SUCH A MOTHER.”
After one of the hard-fought
battles of the war, it Confeder
ate chaplain was called hastily
to see a dying soldier. Talcing
his hand gently, he said, “Well,
my brother, is there anything 1
can do for you?”
He supposed, of course, the
young fellow would want to cry
to God for help in his extrem
ity; but it was not so.
“Chaplain,” said lie, “I want
you to cut a lock of hair for my
mother, and then, chaplain, 1
want you to kneel down and re
turn thanks to God for me.'
“For what?" asked tin; chap
lain.
“For giving me such a mother.
Oh! she is such a good mother.
Her teachings are my comfort
now. Ami then, chaplain,
thank God that by his grace I
am a Christian. What would I
do now if 1 were not a Chris
tian? And thank him for giv
ing me dying grace. He makes
this hard bed feel ‘soft as
downy pillows are.’ And, ah!
chaplain, thank Him for the
promised home in glory 111
soon be there.”
“And so,” said the chaplain,
•■I knelt by his bed with not it
petition to utter, only praises
and thanksgiving for a good
mother, a Christian hope, dying
grace and an eternal home in
glory.”—(’hristian Observer.

WHAT IS A GENTLEMAN?
There* is an interesting corre
spondence in the l'all Mall Ga
zette on “What is a Gentle
man?” The Rev. W. A. Carroll,
vicar of Uriekley Kent, contrib
utes tin* following reminisc
ence :
“•I remember hearing Arch
bishop Temple say that he was
challenged to prove that St.
Paul knew what a gentleman
was. He immediately quoted
Horn. 12:10: “He kindly affec
tioned one to another, with
brotherly love, in honor prefer
ring one another.' I have til
ways felt that ,as a definition
of ti gentleman, it would be
ha r and to heat.” —Southern

MV CREED.
I believe that the country,
which God made is more beauti
ful than the city, which man
made; that life out of doors and
in touch wit hthe earth is the
natural life of man. I believe
that work is work wherever we
find it, but that work with na
ture is more inspiring thu work
with the most intricate machin
ery. 1 believe that the dignity
of labor depends, not on what
you do, but how you do it: that
opportunity conies to a boy on
the farm as often as to a boy in
the city; that life is larger and
freer and happier on the farm
than in the town; that my suc
cess depends not upon my loca
tion bn utpon myself—not upon
my dreams, but upon what I ac
tually and upon luck, but
upon pluck. I believe in work
ing when you work, an din play
ing when you play, and in giv
ing and demanding a square
deal i ncvery act of life.
—Edwin Osgood Grover.

Your house is your fortress in

The makers of a house of a real
