GERMANS SIGNING FIRST, WILSON SIGNING NEXT; GUNS FIRE SALUTE AUSTRIAN ARCHDUKE WAS KILLED FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY. Five years this day Francis Fer dinand, Austrian archduke, was assassinated at Sarajevo. His deatli furnished the excuse for the world war which ended to day with the singing of the treaty of peace. The shots which led to the war were fired by Gavrin I’rinzip, a student. He leaped out from a crowd watching the archduke and his wife as they drove l>y in a car riage June 2H, Ifil4, and poured a stream of bullets at them from an automatic pistol. Shortly afterward Austria made demands on Serbia for a hand in Prinzip’s trial. These demands re sulted in international complica tions and ihe war. Prinzip died in jail.

Blunders. ‘ We are all given to making mis takes. No one is wise enough to be always right. But the person who makes the snnie mistake twice has his feet set straight for the goal of fall ure. If you are i*alled down for mak ing a blunder don’t get mad er dls couraged. Just make up your mind then and there that you'll not make it again. Fix it well In your mind: use it as a lesson and an inspiration It’s a perfectly good stepping-etone, and ought not to be employed as c millstone to hang around your jeck. BEWARE OF THE GRAFTER SELLING FAKE STOCKS. In these days of high prices and high wages and plentiful money the grafter is making headway and thousands of men all over the country are making a fine living out of “suckers." Plenty of good business men are led astray by the plausible offerings of the shrewd stock salesmen who are sometimes honest but trying to sell some thing that they soon find is worth less. This kind of a stock salesman is not common but is in the field. Then other kinds of stock sales men will boh up and try to “do” you and you will be “cioflc” if you don't watch out. The legitimate stock salesman is not to be feared. He seeks publi city and if he has stocks to sell you he will be ready and willing to go to a bank and satisfy you as to their reliability. But this kind of stock salesman is not found going around selling stock in small cities and towns, lie devotes his abilities to the “big fish” in the big cities w here he can verify his statements at a moment’s no tice. So the business man and the farmer must look out for the swin dler who goes around with a beau tifully printed stock certificate in some kind of company *xnt may or may not he straight. lefore you liny from such a have your bank verify the stability of the company and even then do not pay. for stock in liberty or victory bonds. Keep your bonds and get the interest when it is due and if you want to buy stocks buy only the giltedged kind and pay cash. Here is a warning on fake stocks from a Macon paper: If anybody offers to sell you 100 shares of stock in the “Georgia Petroleum Company, of Louisville, Kv., incorporated under the laws of Delaware,” ask him whether he has been licensed by tire secretary of state to operate in this state. Two Jefferson county hankers have written lo ascertain whether the stock salesmen of the above concern have obtained the neces sary licenses, and have been in formed that the agents did not and have not. Georgia’s “blue sky” law re quires all stock of foreign corpo rations to he examined by the se cretary of state, and licenses is sued for its sale in Georgia, before an agent can fare forth into the tall uncut. As pointed out bp Judge Henry B. Strange, the secretary of state, it seems strange to think that a law would have to he passed to prevent people from investing their money in “blue sky” stock, hut such is the ease. It is an old adage that “a fool and Lis money soon part.” Georgia in common with other states, has undertaken to protect its fools aeid’mt the eon- CALLED HER FAMILY TO HER BEDSIDE Six Years Ago, Thinking She Might Die, Says Texas Lady, Bat Now She b a Well, Strong Woman and Praises Cardui For Her Recovery.

If 1 should die tonight Mv friends would call to mind with lov ing thought, Some kindly deed and icy hand had wrought, Some gentle word and frozen lips had said, Errands on which the walling feet had sped; The memory of my selfishness and pride My hasty words would all be put aside, And so I should be mourned and loved tonight.. If I should die tonight liven hearts estranged would turn once more to me, Recalling other days remorsefully; The eyes that chill me with averted glance Would look upon me as of yore per chance, And soften in the old familiar way For who would war with dumb uncon scious clay? So 1 might rest, forgiven of all, tonight. Oh, friends! I pray tonight, Keep not your kisses for my dead cold brow; The way is lonely; let me feel them now; Think gently of me, I am travel worn, My faltering feet are pierced with many a thorn. Forgive, Oh hearts estranged! Forgive, I plead; When dreamlessness is mine. I shall not need The tenderness for which I tonight. —Selected.
