EVERYBODY'S DAY

Clean up--look up-stay up!
It's only matter Of a few week:
when spring cleaning will be with US
again.
Let's be ready for it, improve upor
the work OF past years, and make this
town place OF beauty.
Let's make it everypody's day.
If everybody leaves it for somebody
else to do nothing will be done except
in perfunctory manner, but IL we al
"go to it. with determination to exec
it will only require a small amount ot
work on the part Of each individual.
The logical way to do a thing is te
pitch right in and stick to it until it i.
done, and then hold II there-dont al
low any slipping or sliding back to the
old level.
Mediocre results may be good enough
for some localities, but they are mo-
satisfactory to the people of this town
We want something better, something
out Of the ordinary, quite in keeping
with the thrift and intelligence OF oul
community.
Why can't we have general spring
cleanup day, when every citizen viii
get out and put the polish on our town
remove the debris from certain streets
clean up back alleys and unused
thorough fares, and place the stamp o
cleanliness, sanitation, and beauty up
on the whole community?
No one objects to closing the busines.

town picnic or other celebration. Tha
is a common occurrence all over the
country, and everybody has a gals
time.
But who ever heard of q town CLOSING
up business in order to take q. munici

It's a good move for this town to in
augurate.
We're for a cleanup holiday, with ev
erybody in action.

There seems to be tendency on the
part of many people to continually
criticise others of their acquaintance.
II isn't done with the intention OF do
ing harm to the person criticised-at
least not always-but is simply case
OF seeing the worst side of human ma
ture when the brighter side could be
viewed to so much better advantage.
None Of us are perfect-not even the
critics themselves-but we would all be
better citizens if we were to confine
ourselves to recognizing and fostering
the good in humanity instead Of stirring
up the bad.

Tuberculosis in France.

That of 36S antltuberculosis dis pensaries in France only ten per cent are situated in Paris was hailed as a happy omen" at the second interna- tional conference. Only few organ izations were actively engaged in anti tuberculosis work In France before the war. Today, largely through the activity of the Rockefeller Founda- tion, in addition to the dispensaries mentioned, there are 10000 sanitarium beds for tuberculous patients many wards; the boarding out of anaemic children in rural homes has been or ganized on large scale, and there is national cooperation of all the agen- cies concerned.

NO WONDER THEY LAUGHED
American Soldier In Paris Had Made Small Mistake In Copying the
 Street Name.

During the war, while I was on leave of absence in Paris, relates re- turned soldier, l decided to take walk alone. I thought it advisable to copy down the name of the street in which l was staying, so I wrote down some words printed on the sidewalk.
 When 1 was ready to return I found that l could not locate the street where my hotel was, so approached a woman, showed her what l had writ ten in my book, and tried to learn from her where the place was. She laughed and said something in French, which, of course, I did not under stand, and passed on. A number of times did the same thing, and every one l stopped laughed, and passed on until a man said in English. What is 1t you want?"
 Delighted to find that had discov- cred one person who spoke English, l said, "That is the name of the street where l am staying, and I am lost. Will you please direct mel"

LEGEND IN NEW CLOTHING
Story of Samson and DelIah as 1t Might Have Been, but Undoubt-
 edly Was Not.

"Now, Sammy" began Delilah, coax. sngy, as she advanced toward him with her hands behind her holding a pair of scissors. Just look up that tree-see the little birdie?'
 And she coquettishly displayed the gold filings in her five front teeth. Samson could never refuse Delilah anything when she flashed all that gold on him.
 Delilah gently took hold of a lock of Samsons hair with her left hand but before she could snip it off with her right, there was thunderous knock on the door.
 Twas a man on horseback.
 Away Away!" cried this ancient Paul Revere. "The flood Is coming down Mount Dingus. Flee thee hence!"
 "Oh, Sammy!" walled Delilah. drop- ping the scissors. And l just paid off week. Now all that money is wasted. Oh, Sammy"
 Samson thought hard for moment. Then Delilah flashed her teeth once more.
 "Upl Go up in the attic!" con- manded Samson. Then he planted a kiss on Delilah's eyebrow and she flew.
 Samson dashed out the door and lifted up the house in both hands and tied the doghouse around his neck.
 And thus stood he, with Delilah high and dry, while the flood rushed down Mount Dingus and by.
 Gosh" !" said Delilah to herself, aft CT 1t was all over. I'm glad I didn't cut his hair off before the food."- Detroit Free Press.

PUT ONE OVER ON BUTCHER
Incident Proves That Art of Shopping Has Not Been Altogether
 Thrown in Discard.

A dignitied-looking woman stepped up to a showcase in the meat market, and after she had bought several pieces of meat, she asked:
 Have you any shinbone that 1 could use for soup stockY
 "Just the thing" responded the obliging clerk as he took up a long shinbone and knuckle and balanced 1t on his left hand.
 "What is it worth?" asked the woman.
 "Just a half-dollar," said he.
 Tt is such large piece, would you mind cutting 1t at the joint?'
 Sure, will," he replied.
 After cutting off the large knuckle he again balanced the long, slim shin- bone on his hand and said:
 "You may have this for 40 cents."
 The woman looked at the piece for a moment, then at the knuckle and said:
 'Is that piece you cut off worth only 10 cents?"
 The clerk hesltatingly replied: "Yes, madam"
 "All right" said the woman. "T1l take that knuckle."
 The clerk waited a moment, looked at the woman, then actually laughed aloud. But he was game and will ingly wrapped up the 1O-cent soup bone.

: The Story of !: Our States By JONATHAN BRACE VIII.
 SOUTH CAROLINA MSsM AAA had been MT W\NHTxN made 6 pro- : AS&eA SugAE prietary gov WShTI%NANseLIN ernment, Tn ! s&/ like manner - the territory extending from Virginia to Flor ida was granted by Charles II in 1863 to eight gentlemen as reward for their efforts In his behalf. The name Carolina comes from the Latin, Carolus, meaning Charles. It was not really named after Charles II, but originally in honor of Charles TX, king of France, by Hugue- nots who built fort near Beau fort in 1862.
 The fact that the Carolinas became later two distinct colo nies was due to chance. It hap pened that the earliest settle ments located at points far re- moved from each other. The first permanent settlements in South Carolina were about Charleston, while those In North Carolina were around Albemarle sound. The life in the two sec. tions also was quite different. ] South Carolina was largely de voted to the cultivation of rice and indigo and the planters soon grew very rich with their large
 estates on which the labor was
 performed by slaves. In fact,
 just before the Revolution the
 
 population showed twice as many
 blacks as whites:
 In 1729 the government of the CarOlinaS was turned back by the lord proprietors to the king
 and there was then formed the two separate provinces.
 South Carolina was the eighth state to adopt the Constitution, [
 the vote of ratification being passed in May, 17SS. The Pal metto state, as South Carolina is sometimes called, extends over 3O,9S9 square miles, and it par ticlpates in the presidential cleo tion to the extent of nine cleo tors. co by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate) {

lighting was in progress between

Correspondents with the march

Blair from Madison while Sheriff
Chain refused any information con-
corning any events in that section.
All wire communications have been
cut off for several days and some
apprehension was felt that the real
center OF the trouble was at Blair.
This point was cleared up late today
when Sheriff Hill Of Boone county
succeeded in getting into communi-
cation with personal friends in the
town. They told him there had been
no disorders Of any kind and that
Sheriff Chains men had not come
down the east slope of the mount
aims. They assured Sheriff Hill, he
said, that there was no reason why
disorders should break out at this
time in that vicinity.
From Logan, the county seat OF
Logan, business and professional
men reported that they knew OF
nothing unusual as far as surface
indication went the town and county

pursued its policy up TO 4:3O o'clock

sons. A defiance of the Jaw has
been committed by a body of men

sumption that the leaders Of the or

OF their personal attitude, must be
held responsible for the act OF the

These leaders have been inform
