Teachers Meeting

= Teachers Meeting.
Prof. Reed Smith, who had been
invited to speak to the teachers on
Saturday could not be present. He
had just married and had gone on
his bridal trip, and of course ceuld
not be in Newberry. l called up
Prof. Baker and made an effort to
get some other professor from the
university to be with us, but they
were all getting ready. for the state
meeting, and so we met and just had
the question box which proved very
interesting. A number of practical
questions had been placed in the box
by the teachers and all of them were
more or less discussed and with profit,
I am sure.
There was fine attendance, some
Sc teachers being present. The pity
is that more of them do not take
interest in the discussions. l am glad
to have so many take the interest
thew do to attend the meetings and
/ am sure they will keep up the same
interest and that the next meeting
will see more of the teachers present,
and that the question box will con-
tain many questions Of interest to
the teachers.
Prof. Leuco Gunter was invited to
attend the next meeting and address
the teachers, and Prof. E. T. Nc
Swain said that he had spoken to Mr..
Gunter and he said he could be with
US. This will be coed news to all
the teachers, because Prof. Gunter
always has something interesting and
profitable to say. The next meeting
will be the third Saturday in Decem-
Der, which is the 18th day OF the
month. The meeting will be called
to order promptly at II o'clock and
will not last long.
Miss Campbell distributed pro-
grams of the community fair which
is to be held at Newberry December
2, 8 and 4. Mr.. John Mayes offered
to the teachers calendar with fine
picture of the first peace conference,
and all the teachers may secrue one
for their school rooms by calling at
his store. 1t is a handsome picture
of historic value and every teacher
should secure it and explain to the
children what the picture represents.
At the conclusion Of the meeting
Miss Mcneil and the pupils of the
sciesce department Of the Newberry
high school served an elegant lunch,
for which ali of US are very grateful,
and resolution of thanks was offer
ed and unanimously adopted. The
lunch will be feature of the next
meeting. and it will we'll take the
place of the midday meal, and the
teachers will lose 70 time from their
shopping by having 10 stop for dim
ner, and is a great help to the teach
ers from out Of town especially.

WHERE Is THE TRouBLE7

: In this paper we are printing an
appeal for help for the starving
Armenians who are destitute Of food
and naked for. the want Of clothing.
At the same time we read that in the
West they are burning corn for fuel
and the cotton growers are COM
planning that they can not find mar
ket for their cotton, because there
Is overproduction, some tell US.
There is something radically wrong
somewhere. In this age of advanced
civilization and with close communi-
cation with ali the known world,
there should be no occasion for peo-
pleSto be freezing for lack Of clothes
and starving for lack of. food, when
there is plenty right here and no
market forS it. Even though we are
going through q period of readjust-
ment there should be some way of
I disposing Of the surplus food and
! cloth, that we have to those who are
sin dire need Of it.
s. We asked. a large manufacturer
the other day what the trouble IS.
We told him that we did not believe
!. there was any overproduction OF
either food stuffs or Of cotton, that
the world needed and could use more
than we had, land it seemed to US that
there should be made some trade re-
lations with the people who really
need what we have produced, SO that
we could get at least .remuneratlve
prices for it. He replied that the
trouble was with the government at
Washington. He did not believe that
there was overproduction either.
If that is true it does seem to US
that some one is criminally negli-
gent in the performance of his duty.
And we can not understand why any
government official, or any one else,
would care so to act as to make his
own people suffer loss, and at the
same time permit the peoples Of the
world suffer for the lack of the things
that we have made which we are anx-
ious to sell, provided we can get at
least the Cost of the making.
It does seem to US that it should be
possible for this government or some
one to be able to open trade relations
with these people who are suffering
for the lack of the necessities which
we have made in abundance. II 1t
is speculation on the part of any one
or any group there should be some
way to reach them and let them feel
the strong hand of the law.
{. In this day of unrest it is very I'M
portarit that all of us of every call
ing should work together and coop
crate and show the spirit of helpful
ness and we are sure that all things
will work out right and proper and
there will be no bad results. We
were travelling most too rapidly and
it is we'll to have a shock and SUI
ficiently strong that we may stop to
ask where we are at and then we
will take our bearings but certainly
there is no shortage of demand for
all the food and clothes that we can
grow and we should try to find a
profitable market and encourage the
producer not to reduce production,
but assist him to find profitable
market.

When I see the good that these
community centers are doing, and
that this would be almost impossible
without the school house as the CEN
ter. l can not help wondering why
any community would hesitate IN the
building of such one. 1t is posi-
bic to have one in every community
in the county, if the people would
lust wake up to their Importance ard
value to the community. LOOK at
gethel-Garmany and ST. Philips and
Smyrna ard the c:heE:. and see what
they ere doing for --2eEe communities
IN the building of worth while
place in which to live, and then ask
yourself, Why not have sGch meet
ing place in your community. 1t is
easy, and means so much for the
children and young people that 10
ore snould hesitate to put the money
in them necessary to have them. How
anv GOOD citizen can be satisfied :o5
to make an effort at least to GO
something that will benefit his COM
munity, and to spend 2 little money
FOR that which goes SO largely 10
make like worth while, is beyond MY
comprehension.

Smyrna Community Fair.

From Vaughnville we drove on
down to the Smyrna school where
they were holding a community fair.
Three schools had united in this fair:
Smyrna, Trinity and Burton. There
was large crowd present and some
one remarked in looking over the fine
specimens of canned goods and other
farm products that it did not look
like there was any danger of any one
in this country suffering, and it did
not. And there is not. We need to
ge. the spirit of optimism and stop
complaining and go to work, ana we
can and will solve all our problems
in this day of reorganization and re-
construction and readjustment. This
is a fine country that we have here.
We can grow all the things we need
and live in comfort, if we just make
10 our minds to do it. And we can
It help our condition by sitting idly
.own and complaining. 1t was a
fine community fair, and there was
good feeling on all sides, and every
one seemed happy and in good spirit.
There were all sorts OF good things
on exhibition fer whIch the good peo-
ple Of this section are famous. em
glad that was not on the committee
to pass on the merits Of the booths
from the three schools. The Smyrna
booth was given the first prize and
the Burton booth second and Trinity
third. They were all fine. Mrs
Workman said that I was TOO late
to sample the candy, but she did not
know whereof, she spoke. Mrs. Yer
non Wilson is en-, expert in the max,
ing of candy and she gave me q sam
pie Of it, and l can testify as to the
quality. Huyler can not beat her on
candy. IN fact, l am cure she would
take the blue ribbon IN contest with
him if the judges knew anything
about the quality, Of candy Mrs. =
H. Dickert gave me a sack of fire TO-
nlatoes. 1 do not know about the
other prizes, as II was there for only
a short time, ard the awards had all
been made and the booths were being
taken down before I left, in order tc
make room fora the entertainment
that was to be Held that evening for
the benefit of the young people espe'
cially. Mr.. j. v. Clary bad on exhl,
bition his new device for saving
wood ard furnishing power generally
for the farm. He attaches a gear to
his truck and fastens the wood saw
to the back and it does the work. He
said with the same attachment he had
threshed wheat and other grain all
summer, hauling the thresher on the
truck and the whole thing was there
to do the work. He has applied for a
patent, and it seems to me to be the
thing for the farm. You have your
truck for hauling and the power for
pumping water and doing other
things about the farm where power
is needed.

MOUNTA|NEER ELKS
PREPARE FOR PARADE
States Contribution at Chi
cago Convention May be
Huge Block of Coal.


West Virginia Eiks are already
planning how to set foIh The adyan
tages of the state best at the parade
which will be feature of the meet
ing of the grand lodg of Elks at Chi
cago on July 5. The parade will be
made by states, the Elks OF each
state being grouped together rather
than showing by cities as hereto
fore, in similar parades Of. the Elks
held in other important cities.
Floats will be frequent in the pa
rade and West Virginia is trying to
decide just what display of this nature
would best set forth the advantages
of the state. So far the most popular
suggestion is that four ton block
of coal be displayed similar to dis
play at San Francisco III 1915. Bro ks
Fleming, Jr, exalted ruler of the Fair
mont lodge, has authorized an an
nouncement that the Consolidation
coal company will get out block OF
coal in the event that that decision
is made. NJ. E. Ashcraft, president of
the State Association of Elk lodges,
also lives at Fairmont and is also an
emplcye Of the Consolidation Coal Co.
The Fairmont lodge will taks heed
of Che sentiment of the members on
them after at the next meeting and
will make recommendation which.
are expected to act with the approval
OF the state body.
