That a man's native state always will
have a place in his memory, no matter
what may be his present good location
and surroundings, is again proven by the
experience of Hon. W. E. Murphy, time
honored Gainesville citizen, who has
just returned from his old home state,
Virginia, with reports of his recent in-
teresting visit there.
The objective point of Mr. Murphy’s
trip was the University of Virginia
commencement and centennial celebra-
tion and incidentally the taking of his
college degrees by his son. Cecil and who
returned home with his father. And to
hear the Gainesville man recite the cir-
cumstances and some of the happenings
at this old school, that was founded by
Thomas Jefferson more than a century
ago. is well worth while and altogether
inspiring.
Mr. Murphy, however, did not devote
all the time of his absence around the
great university, for he tells of a visit
to Antietam, the scene of one of the
greatest battles of the war of the 60’s, a
visit to the National cemetery at Ar-
lington, a trip down the Potomac river
and a day spent at Washington City, all
of which were in a measure interesting,
but with the newspaper man he left
the impression that he really is getting
more pleasure from the circumstance of
the home-coming than any other occur-
rence since he left here nearly three
weeks ago.

fade a cigarette
in my day_
The Camel idea wasn’t born then. It was the
exclusive expert Camel blend that revolutionized
cigarette smoking.
That Camel blend of choice Turkish and Domestic
tobaccos hits just the right spot. It gives Camels such
mellow mildness and fragrance!
The first time I smoked Camels I knew they were
made for me. I knew they were the smoothest, finest
cigarette in the world, at any price.
Nobody can tell me anything different.
For months C'hina has been in the grip
of probably the most terrible famine in
the history of the world Our United
States minister to C'hina describes it as
"the worst calamity in the world’s his-
tory." According to the most reliable
dispatches, the actual famine zone cov

with a population of forty-five million usually sending
people, with millions facing immediate *' !
starvation, unless help is hastened to
them. The horrifying fact is also press-
ed upon us that thousands are now
•lying in C'hina from starvation.
Both Presidents W ilson and Harding
have earnestly urged all the people of
the United States, and Governor Neff
specially urges the people of the state
of Texas to give their prompt and prac-
tical sympathy in this crisis hour for
whole provinces in China. And China
stretches out her hand to the United
States, as her strongest and truest
friend, whom China tiusts as she trusts
no other nation.
let our people ponder these figures:
Three cents will save a life, a dav, in
1 China
One dollar will save a life a month.
Two dollars will save a
her babe, a month.
Five dollars will save
month Five dollars will
until harvest next summer
One hundred dollars will
twenty five lives.
The awful fact that little children and
their mothers are hungry and starving
to death is a fact so challenging as to
call out the immediate and practical
help of all classes of our Texas citizen-
ship. The people of larger means and
of smaller alike are surely unwilling to
ignore the heart-breaking cry of starv-
ing children and mothers anywhere in
all the world The vast army of chil-
dren in Texas should be privileged to
help the starving children in China.
Likewise the vast army of Texas women
—when did women ever turn a deaf ear
to the cry of distress?—should be priv-
ileged to share their bread with their
hungry sisters far away. And the vast
army of men and boys in Texas should
be willing, if need be, to go hungry for
a day and longer to keep others from
starving to death.
When each of us remembers “1 am
my brother's keeper.” such a call as is
this from China can on no pretext be ig-
nored. Humanity is bound together in
the bundle of life- The parable of the
good Samaritan is heaven’s law for na
tions as well as for individuals. When
weak people are bruised and beaten and
suffering anywhere the strong must
hasten to their help.
The people of Texas, it is confidently
believed, will be glad to make gifts for
this cause at once, though their local
committees, or by sending checks di-
rectly to the state treasurer of the
China Famine Fund, Mr. Geo. Waverly
Briggs, care City National Bank, Dallas,
Texas.
Let the people hurry with their gifts.
Human lives are at stake. ,

HIGHEST AND LOWEST POINTS
IN U. S. ARE IN CALIFORNIA
Washington. June 7.—The highest and
lowest points in the United States are
in California, within 90 miles of each
other, says a bulletin issued by the Geo-
logical Survey. Mount Whitney, the
highest point, is 14.501 feet above sea
level and in. Death Valley there is a
depression that lies 276 feet bejow sea
levej.
The difference in height of these two
is small, however, the Survey
as compared wtih difference in
the height and depth of land in Asia.
Mount Everest rises 29.002 feet above
sea level when as the shores of the Dead
Sea lie 1,290 feet below.
Information in the hands of the Sur-
vey shows that the greatest depth yet
found in any ocean is 32,088 feet, a depth
at a point about 40 miles north of the
island of Mindanao in the Philippine*.
This would make the bottom of the
sea at that point more than ll’/a miles
below the summit of Mount Everest.

Atlantic City, June 8.—Mrs. Cecelia
Dempsey, the 61 year-old mother of the
world's heavyweight champion, is a
newspaper fight fan. Although she
never has witnessed a ring battle or ex-
pressed any desire to see her son in ac-
tion. she has been an interested reader
of the glove contest ever before she be-
came the mother of the champion.
Bernard. Jack's oldest brother, who is
here watching the cl

Washington. June 8.— A bill pro-
posing that the government issue to
former service men 5 per cent tax ex-
empt bonds in the amounts of not more
than $750 for service overseas and $600
for home service, has been introduced by
Representative Volk. Republican of New
York. The bonds would expire in 10
years, would be negotiable and would
be issued to war veterans at a rate of
>1.75 ami $1.25 a dav for service over-
seas and in the United Statesrespective- , not to exc^ fift dolIarg

of bonds, the bill also would provide for
