UNION RECORDER, HIU.EDCEVIU.E, GA„ AUGUST SO. !M» TjnSlfek AN AGRICULTURAL POLICY Tho Wolfe City, Tex., Chamber of Commerc. has adopted an aitricul- tural creed that seta before the com munity a itoal that is appropriate for nearly any town or county in the Co it on States. It follows: We believe in the farmer, the man engaged in the fundamental industry of furnishing food and clothing thanks for blessings BIG BRAINS BETTER CARNEGIE’S FIRST $400 A $500,000,000 BABY Mount Rokatinda, on the Island of Paloweh, Dutch East Indies, blew up in a volcanic eruption. Hal' the island, six villages were dc atroyed, a thousand killed. Yesterday that ihre more villages were wiped out by n tidal wave caused by a submarine earthquake. We pay little attention to these deaths far atfay, n thousand or fifty thousand, little difference. Bu: we ought to observe with gratitude how many things might happen to us that do not happen.

The invention will be applied to endless uses, from kitchenware to locomotives, and is expected to give automobiles a finish defying time and weather. There are as good ideas in the human brain as ever came out of it. Try and find one. Sears, Roebuck stockholder# yes terday voted to increase capital stock by 860,000 shares. At market prices that company is worth more than $500,000,000. Julius Rfesenwald hardly expected that when he took hold of the company a few years Compared with other companies General Motors, Standard Oil, S. Steel, etc.. Sears, Roebuck is only a baby. We have the four hillion dob lar stock company. When will the 100 billion company arrive?
