are hundreds of young and middle
aged people in Gastonia earning wages
which they receive weekly who could
with small effort, soon save in a short
period a sum of money that would, in
in case of emergency, save them con
siderable embarrassment. Of the two

the building and loan plan the better,

his money out without first giving th1rc-

Clark declared that until north

rooms, gambling and vice dens and
Sunday theaters, they had no right to
complain that children under .thir-
teen years of age were permitted to
work in cotton mills.
"Plainly speaking, it is none o.
their business" he said, referring to
complaints from Massachusetts and
New York. 900
He charged representatives OF the
committee with misrepresenting facts
in the south; declared against nation

the delegates to clean up affairs In
their home states before taking part
in the affairs Of others. DR.. exc

They've got on the run;
And yet they've the Germans
Repulsed in attack;
One side has wrought ruin,
The other wrought wrack.

Win steady advance:
The Germans are winning
In onslaught 'gainst France.
The Servians have broken
The Austrian force;
But Austria on Russia
Is winning of ourse
All claim the advantage,
Each side it wins out;

Though anxious, in sooth,
Have small means of knowing
Who's telling the truth.
