MOTHER" JONES SEES RECORD
BUNCH OF SCANDAL CATS

New York, Feb. A-"Mother" Jones
veteran labor agitator, has inVesti-
gated New York's fashionable Col
ony club, at Madison av. and 3Oth st.
She went there last night at the in
vitatiOn of Mrs. J. Borden Hartman,
member of the federal commission on
industrial relations. Today she was
bubbling over with her experiences.
81 saw the biggest bunch of women
parasites and scandal cats ever got
ten together under n roof" she
said. Five hundred dollar hats, won
derfuIly feathered, adorned empty
heads of women who know nothing
of how the other half lives. Their
fingers were encircled with Jewels
worth a kings ransom. And not a
single one of these parasites knew
anything useful. They were oTna-
mental doIls-mannikins who walked
and talked but said nothing.
"And outside there were men SHOW
cling snow, their hands bare and their
clothing thin. Yet there was not the
slightest sympathy expressed any
where for these men.
81 got out as fast as l could. The
smell OF the perfume stckened and
sUfocated me-"

The executive council of the Hold

ers last night voted~to reject the
model" agreement.
Of the % local unions in the Paint
ers' District council Is have voted to
reject the agreement. About 10000
workmen r now on record against
the agreement.
Business Agent A. c. Anderson of
Local 1914 said: 1.-THE vote in our local
last night was unanimous. 1 don't
believe a single local where the rank
and file of the members n alive to
what's going on will say yes to this
proposed agreement"
Sec'y J. J. Conroy of the Building
Trades Council was asked if any
unions had yet reported to him that
the membership had voted for the
agreement. He said:
"No reports have come in yet. I
know that my organization, the tile
layers, will vote for it. We have had
a clause in our contract for many
years providing for a secret ballot at
arbitration boards.
THE secret ballot is an advantage
to the men because an employer
sometimes wants to help the union by
voting for the union while sitting on
an arbitration board. If the ballot is
secret the employer then has a
chance to help us by voting for u.s."

himself compliment.
But this Is the exception, and that
Is just what We are dong, because
certain well known citizen of this
community has and is persistently
recognizing the value Of this paper
as a reliable disseminator of local
news, and has paid us this compli.
ment in a manner which speaks vol.
umes for his knowledge of the good
things of life.
He is not destitute of this worlds
goods, but be possesses the rare
faculty OF holding onto that which
be gets, lest the pangs Of poverty
overtake him in his declining years.
He possesses a WIDE knowledge of
local affairs, because be Is a con-
slant reader of this paper, and the
knowledge extracted therefrom Is
turned TO good account in bis own
behalf.
II an important event is soon TO
occur, hv knows Of il in advance,
because he has read of IL In this
paper.
II there Is bargain TO be had
anywhere in the community be is
promptly spprised Of the fact, be-
cause Of that, too, be has read IN
this paper.
And If an acquaintance is sick, or
death has overtsken some member
Of family, or the stork has paid
visit TO the home of some friend,
he is among the first to extend con-
dolences or congratulations because
OF these, also, be has read the pa
per.
He is q man OF wisdom pillar
of streLgth-wlth a brain which
sbsorbs to the utmost of the essence
OF life.
Few things escape his notice, for
he is ever on the alert.
But the one thing which he never
overlooks is this paper, and therein
lies the compliment which we taAe
unto ourself. 1t gives us a feeling
that we are something more than a
mere worm in human shape, that
we may be ever a whole cog IN the
Q ommunitY wheel.
True, he is not a subscriber to the
paper-his dollar never reaches this
ofiice-but he reads the paper Just
the same.
For his neighber is a subscriber
and pays IN advance, and in his
generosity he lends the paper to the
''pillsr of strength"-by request.
But it may not always be 50. In
time we have hopes.that the "plllar"
will pay us the super.compliment of
permitting us to add his own name
to our subscription llst--paid in
Advance, of course
Time sometimes works wonders,
even in the newspaper field.
And we have hopes, strong hopes.

NORMAL NOTES

by not attending this normal, you
may gladly be informed by anyone
who is in attendance.
The results Of this normal are
due IN a large measure, to the un.
turing efforts put forth by our eff.
cient instructors. They are con.
stAntly giving us ideas and ideals
that are not only good for us now
but will be of lasting good to US
during our future vooations.
Mr.. Hulen's fayorite motto is
"Not how much but how we'll"
Our hearts were gladdened and
our faces frightened by the short
visit made us by Prof. w. F. Acree
one OF Randolph's products IN the
teaching profession, aad wife of
CeutrahomR, Okla. In his short
talk. he emphasized the fact that
we are not only preparing for life,
but that we are living actual lives
now. Prot. Acree has been chosen
a. superintendent Of schools at Le-
high, Okla, for the coming year.
His many enthusiastic friends are
proud Of the great work he is do.
ing and would be glad to have him
back in our own county.
Our normal has been honored by
visits from the state agricultural
and demonstration agents. Each of
them made an interesting talk and
advised us as TO the assistance we
might give IN their great work.
We are being instructed to ap-
proach the ideal teacher as a limit
but not the idealist.
As visitors last week, we had
Misses Wyatt, Lucas, johnson,
Campbell, Bowers, Haynes, Mr..
Myrt Bennett, ct al.
Our enrolment is still increasing.
New members last week were, Miss
es Ouids Bennett, Katie Mayfeld.
ROsslee Bolen, Willie Allen, and
Mr.. Willard England. This week
Messrs. Myrt and Terry waldron.
They soon familiarized themselves
with the members of the class and
the work and are now taking an ac-
tive part.
To any teacher Of Randolph
county who has not a collection of
games to present to her pupils dur.
ing the next term Of school, we
wish TO advise that they visit the
normal at the p. II. S. building.
Messrs. Mock and Hulen emphasize
the fact that the lntermlssion period
be planned as are the lesson periods.
To know which expression is cor
rect, "The lemon is sweet" or
"Tbe lemon are sweet" you may be
informed by John Dean.
Miss Nina Owen is having a tus-
sci with crippled eye. Some gen.
erous person should administer their
suPerstltlous rhyme and take that
sty away.
We are glad TO have Mrs. James
of Success back with us again after
a few days absence.
Those who spent the weekend
with home folks were. Mrs. Chorice
and Miss Rosalie Boiin of Reyno,
Miss Nina Owen of O'Kean. Elmer
Dubois and Lehmuu Rice of Dalton.
Pearl Stubbleheld says the "sorb-
tion" method of learning is the best
and easiest way to know things.
Anyway its good enough for her,
she says. .
There is quite bit of discussion
among our girls as to which is the
more popular among the ladies,
John Dean or Terry Waldron.
Wesley Brown, our Arkansas
History teacher, visited his sister,
Mrs. Pleasant in Missouri from
Thursday till Monday.

OF course, the Sunday School lei the
center for all this work. although the
activities OF the church should extend

named. II should be called the School
OF Religion or the Church School or
something else that indicates II to be
an allthe-week activity. During this
time various and sundry clubs, classes.
musical organizations, culture courses,
as well as distinctly religious meetings.
should be held. Thickly settled neigh
borhoods, as we shall see. Offer fine
opportunities for the development Of
things spiritual.
The third task to which the church
is committed is that OF ChristianiIins
the social order; that OF infusing the
spirit OF Jesus into every nook and
corner OF our life. Nothing is foreign
10 the interest OF the church.
