PAGE TWO SULLIVAN COUNTY RECORD, JEFFERSONVILLE, N. Y. Sdllivan County Record THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16,1922, And aren’t same people ridiculous when they ridicule others. That fellow Kemal seems to he the Judge Landis of the Near East. Save your stale eggs. A Russian play is coming to this country. And, apropos of the season, Turkey has something to he thankful for ^his year. In these automobile tin.es the world / also needs to be made safe for pedestrians. Nobody has as yet accused the Irish ef having helped the Turks run. over the British. Anyhow, Mustapha Kemal furnish ed us .a welcome relief from the Irish situation. Those European nations seem to be willing to almost anything except the right thing. iOur British friends, may ^be slow, but they can have lively politics when they are so minded. The coal situation has been blamed ©m nearly everybody except the Ger m an sympathizer. 1 .................... As T?e understand it, these Anti- Saloon Le,agruer,s are now trying to make the ocean dry. And sometimes a politician who fails to land a t the pie counter winds up in the bread line. % Washington correspondents claim th a t Washington is dull with congress away. Think of that. - ... Now that the supply of cotton seed has been cut in halfj what are we going' to do for olive oil ? If the pronoun I were,taken out of the language, how many people could can y on a conversation ? Some college boys make the football team. And others are just as well satisfied to shoot craps. Fashion writers predict that the hoopsldrt will came back, but they reckon without the fliw e r . One \branch of the government is trying to improve the public health, while another keeps us coughing up. And now one half of the people of the country are wondering how the other half managed to win the elec tion. No m a tter how good the picture show may be, a Woman doesn't enjoy it if she gets there before the rest of the crowd. The ex-kaiser's memoirs are a fail ure from two standpoints. They are not truthful, an dthey -are not even in teresting. The candidate who declared “The gjlip of state would sail m ore steadily if some of the branches of govern ment were lopped off,” may have mix ed his metaphors but he had the right idea. THE BEST DISINFECTANT. A TRAGEDY IN THE DARK. Soap and water make the best dis infectant. If you are in doubt, read the following quotation from £he re port, of a competent civic heaLth com mission: “The city health department has stopped using fermaldehyde to disin fect homes where communicable dis eases- have been reported. We have “found soap and water is best.” The information is especially time ly, just on the eve of winter, when communicable diseases are most prev alent, and disinfecting is likely to be a problem in any home. Scrupulous cleanliness in the person and ditto for the house and all of its appliances is a better safeguard against infection, and the spread of disease than all the high-priced reme dies. Soap and water, fresh air and sun shine Will hill almost any kind' of germ* IIMOM 1 9 MOB * * * * * - - • Jealous of a husband she had never seen, whose voice she had never heard, and to whom she h ad never spoken of the dove that had endured through eighteen years of varying fortune, Mrs. Diana Moore, aged 45, deaf and ■blind, groped her way the other night through the eternal darkness of her ward at ain Omaha hospital, and then threw herself through a second story window* to destroy ‘forever the re maining two senses which induced her jealousy. An hour or two afterward John Moore, unable to speak of , his sorrow, or to hear the consoling voices raised in sympathy for him, only by the tears that constantly coursed down his fur rowed face to the silent but quavering lips, and the labored pencil sentences, told the story of the strange emotion that had caused his wife to take her life. “My wife was jealous,” wrote M-oore, as repo riel’s quizzed him, “though heaven knows, she never had a cause. I am a lonely, afflicted old man—in weariness, if not in years. I never loved anybody except her. No woman ever looked a t me, but in spite of thA she was jealous and miserable over it.” Officials of the hospital told a story of an all-consuming jealousy. Some times at night, they testified, the wo man would become so agitated that it would be necessary to lead her through the women’s ward so she could feel for her husband and know he was not there. On the might of the recent tragedy she was highly ner vous, crying spasmodically, and at times pulling her eyes, as i f trying to open them in a vain attem pt to make sure th a t her husband was not in the women’s ward, although the rules ex pressly forbid such visiting. Thus ends the story. The student of* psychology will be able to extract only the old, old story of the ghost of jealousy from it, while the laity of the hum lan race, which looks only on the surface of cause and effect, will drop a tear of sympathy for the dead and the living. What a tragic story is congested in the aver age li|'e, anyway. TH E TRILLIONAIRE. The filing of a bankruptcy suit in San Jose, Gal., reveals the fact that the day f o the trillionaire has arrived. George Thomas Jones 'has achieved that distinction. Only he is a trillion- ■aire on the wrong side of the ledger. He confesses to owing the tidy sum of $304,840,332,912,085.16 and cannot pay it, for the perfectly good reason that there is not that much wealth in the world. Judgment for that amount has been rendered by the supreme court of Santa Clara county. The case is an illuminating study in interest. In 1907 Mr. Jones borrowed $100 from Henry B. Stuart at 10 p e r cent interest, compounding monthly. He failed to pay* and a few months ago the lender brought suit to recover what was due him. The string of fig ures printed above represents the con clusion of mathematical experts call ed to help out the court. * It is a great thing, this thing of lending money on compound interest at high rates—if you can collect. And the debtor might be able to pay, at that, if i t were rubles or marks in stead of dollcirs. They deal familiar ly with such sums in Russia and Ger many. EVERY LITTLE HELPS. If you would prosper, watch the lit tle things. For instance: The Standard Oil Company rents a building for $250,000 on a ninety-nine year lease. The company wanted to pay the rent at the end of each three months. The landlord wanted his N ' money in advance, and the courts have upheld him. If you had $250,000 a year from one tenant you probably would not be so contentious. But that isn’t good busi ness. The payment of the rent in advance will make a difference of $6,500,000 in ninety-seven years, and every little bit helps. Striking New Red Cross Poster Riveting the attention of the beholder on the fact that the Ameri can Red Cross is chartered by Congress as an official volunteer relief organization the dome of the Capitol at Washington, upon which is super imposed a large Red Gross, is the central figure of a new poster for the Annual Red Cross Roll Call. The poster, which has been pronounced one of the most striking of innumerable representations of the famous dome, is the work of Franklin Booth, a New York artist of wide renown. It will be displayed throughout the country during the Roll Gall period, Armistice Day to Thanksgiving, when the Red Cross membership for 1923 will be enrolled. Tomorrow Will Be tbe Product of Today.
