mess on the verge Of bankruptcy is a

versa; another mans progress will

it that way. 1t has been oft proven
time and again that a single industry
can make town SO to speak. Then
why not the. various Industries Of the

end?
A man may be little and mean and
jealous in business way and he may
get away with it about one time In q

business foundation by this method

BUSINESS JEALOUSY.

Nothing hampers the progress of
a community more than petty jealou-
sy between the business men of the
community. !
Say this man has the desire to get
rich so quickly that he isn't at all
pleased to see any other man making
a dollar. The other man may be in
an entirely different line of business,
still that little, nasty, mean and con-
t Tempt ible Cuisines jealousy"
prompts him to be stumbling block
at every opportunity. On occasion
where he could give healthy and
kindly lift and without damage to
his own particular business mind you,
he chooses to adopt the opposite at
titnde merely because he is jealous
of anyone's success except his own.

associate MEMBERS
FOR Roy SCOUTS.

July 1920 has been named as Boy
Scout week in Paris. This is move
ment to interest associate members
in the effort to train the boyhood of
the nation for American citizenship.
Associate MEMBERSHIP fathers,
mothers, and friends of boydom, are
asked to pay a small amount to help
put the Boy Scout movement on a
permanent basis. "Invest a dollar
in boyhood to build manhood"
President Wilson in proclamation
states, '"That anything done to in
crease the effectiveness of the Boy
Scouts Of America will be genuine
contribution to the welfare Of the ma
tion. That every nation depends for
its future upon the proper training
and development Of its youth. The
American boy must have the best
training and discipline our great de-
mocracy can provide if America is to
maintain her ideals, her standards
and her influence in the world
81
''The plan therefore, for a Boy
Scout week which a universal appeal
will be made to all Americans to sup
ply the means to put the Boy Scouts
of America in a position to carry for
ward effectively and continuously the
splendid work they are doing for the
youth Of America, should have the un-
reserved support Of the nation
w. G. McAdoo says "The Boy
Scouts are an organization Of gallant
patriots and deserves The encourage
ment and support Of the nation.
4That Associate membership in the
Boy Scout organization that is offer
ed to adult American citizens, il sue
cessful, will provide a supporting a.
dult organization to the Boy Scouts Of
America that will assure the enlarged
usefulness and effectiveness Of the
Boy Scout movement.
Surely there are millions Of Amer
lean citizens who are willing to con-
tribute small sum to put the Boy
Scout organization on strong and
permanent basis which will assure the
continuous training Of the youth Of
America in the finer and conceptions
of citizenship in the greatest democ-
racy on earth.
This worthy cause stands along
side the Red eros and other human
tartan organizations which have had
the generous support Of the Ameri-
can people. In the name of Amer
ica's best boyhood beg Americas
manhood and womanhood to help
All who wish to enroll as Associate
Members may do SO by getting in
touch with Rev. ]. E. Reynolds, Rob-
ert Foreman, or any local scout.

SPORTING BLOOD.

Inc WOrlQ mas no Llme OF use Vi
patience with molly-coddle, and q
molly-coddle is certain well defined
species Of individual who has no sin
gle drop of sporting blood in his
veins. The most the world hands this
sort Of person is a fair amount of
sympathy for the joy Of life that he
misses. Further than that molly
coddle becomes bother to healthy
people and disgust to the physically
unfit, but mentally inclined.
Sporting blood is the love Of
fair fight, the fondnes for square
game, the desire to adventure, \ in
short, delight in sport. Sporting
blood was in the ancestors Of ours
who settled this country. 1t led them
to cross mountains and ford rivers
and to dare the wilderness Of forests.
It founded home for US who came
after.
The South is distinguished, or per-
Eaps was distinguished for its sport
ng blood more SO than any other sec
tion of the country. In the first place
"a different sort of people settled in
the South from the Puritan inclined,
serious minded New England settlers.
Then life was easier in the South in
the early days. The land was more
fertile, people in the South were more
of the wealthy class and had more
time to devote to sport, to hunting
and fishing and the like. No ro-
nance of the Old South is complete
without some account or description
of cock fight, fox hunt, horse
race.
Still sporting blood is today an
All-American trait. No nation who
ranks first in inventive genius can
be said to lack in sporting blood. A
molly-coddle couldn't invent anything
even to an excuse for being molly
coddle and there were certainly q
mighty few molly-coddles among our
khaki-clad heroes in Jack .Pershing's
army, who is an A-No. man Of
sporting blood.
Sport teaches square deal. Take
it in any game of sport. 1t is not
ssgood sport" to shoot a bird except
on the wing; sporting blood gives the
other fellow a chance always and
there are laws Of craftsmanship for
every game that gives square deal.
Hear the fans howl when baseball
decision is seemingly unfair! The
rules governing a prize fight, horse
race--any sport make them as fair
as possible and any erookedness ruins
a sport for man Of sporting blood.
Betting and gambling have ruined
sport to some degree today, and have
thereby rendered certain sports ta-
boo, but it is only molly-coddle who
thinks that there is nothing to sport
except gamble. Sport is healthy,
and beneficial in several ways. And
in draw the world will choose a
man Of sporting blood every single
time.
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1919-07-11
THE PROPOSED
coLoRED SCHOOL SITE.

AOLONED SC1OOL SIZE.
There is great deal Of local dis
content relative to the proposed site
Of location of the colored school
building at the end Of Brewer street,
just back Of the colored Methodist
church. Especially does this dissat-
isfaction exist among the residents
Of Brewer street and we are very
much inclined to sympathize and a.
gree with these people.
It is the prerogative of every citi-
zen, Of every individual to protect
his own property, his home, anything
that is his. In fact this is one of the
first laws of life. To every man be-
longs the exclusive privilege of de-
Tending and guarding what is his, and
other men should appreciate and con-
slider any encroachment upon the
property Of another.
That the location of the colored
school at the proposed site on North
Brewer will depreciate the property
in that entire neighborhood is I'M
questionable. Children white and
colored, are more or less careless,
childlessly inconsiderate Of disturb
ing others, needless in their vandal-
ism upon property. There has never
been a school located near residen-
tial section, but the the teachers and
principal have received complaint Of
the children's behavior to and from
school.
The residents on North Brewer
street are small property owners,
there being only 6 rented houses on
the street, costly situated like "ssr-
dimes in a. box;" neighborly and hap
py on this somewhat secluded street.
In fact when the hospital was moved
to North Brewer street, people said,
what a splendid location for the
hospital! Brewer is such quiet,
nice, little street" And the pro-
posed site of location for the colored
school is only 400 feet away from
the hospital.
Furthermore, it is just 2 IL blocks
from the court house, one block from
the First Methodist Church, not more
than that from the First Baptist
Church, and will affect the entire res
idential section from Washington to
the end of Brewer street.
The proposed location is practical
ly on public thorofare, not 400 feet
off the street. Only ga of an acre
is available, and Id of this gully
that can never be filed, which fur
nishes no play ground, to speak of ex-
cept on decided slope. It seems
something to be wondered at that an
effort has been made to locate the
white schools an appreciable distance
from the square and comfortably a.
way from the residential sections and
then to locate the eolored school so
near the square, two churches, the
hospital and on a street whore the
residents so obviously object and who
win always be antagonist 10 the
school.
Also the school house for the col
ored people Is a pronounced social
center. much more than those Of the |
'ytite people who hane the theatre
