Here's hoping our friends a happy
and prosperous journey through life
The heavy rains with the continued
water time weather for the past ten
days has wrought much damage to
the farmers and caused lull in all
farming operations. Quite large
acreage already planted, but was SC
badly washed and packed by the rains
and bit by the frost is being re-plant-
ed, while it entails quite loss of seed
and labor better crops will be the re-
suits. There is yet plenty of time
to make a bumper crop, as it is much
better to have rain now than later and
in the season. Give us dry May and
the farmers will reap great harvest
1t is true, the farmers seem to be hard
hit, but where there is will there is
always some way provided, after all
the farmer is the backbone of the
country, in fact they are the only true
prosperous people we have, they have
or should have their living at home
and something laid back for the rainy
day and the winter time of life.
That the Columbus Dispatch covers
every nook and corner of our grand
old Magnolia State was fully shown
by the great number of cars seen
passing through Caledonia on last
Friday and Saturday from a distance
going to Columbus on the two big
trade days put on by the enterprising
business men of that city. We are
proud to say that "Our" city is fast
becoming the one large trading CEN
ter for fifty miles around. We were
informed few days ago by two popu-
lar citizens of Monroe county and
one of them lived in Aberdeen, that
goods of all kinds are cheaper IN Co
lumbus than IN Aberdeen. They stat
ed that oats were 1925 in Aberdeen
and $3.50 IN Columbus on the same
day. They also stated that our bust
ness men were simply the finest
bunch of jolly good fellows that they
ever met and that aloag goes long
way in helping to build up a great city
and united community. The mer-
chants and business men of Column
bus are beginning to realize and APP
preciate more and more the advertis-
ing value of the Dispatch as it covers
the entire country. Its readers are
found in the four corners Of the
earth and goods bought in our beau

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATARRH
CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND
HEAD NOISES

If you know of some one who is troub-
led with Catarrhal Deafness, head noises
or ordinary catarrh cut out this formula
and hand it to them and you may have
been the means of saving some poor suf-
ferer perhaps from total deafness. In
England scientists for a long time have
recognized that catarrh is a constitutional
disease and necessarily requires constitu-
tional treatment.
Sprays. inhaIers and nose douches are
liable to irritate the delicate air passages
and force the disease into the middle ear
which frequently means total deafness,
or else the disease may be driven down
the air passages towards the lungs which
is equally as dangerous. The following
formula which is used extensively in the
damp English climate is a constitutional
treatment and should prove especially eff
hcacious to sufferers here who live under
more favorable climate conditions.
Secure from your druggist l ounce of
Parmint Double strength. Take this
and a little graduated sugar; stir until
dissolved. Take one Tablespoonful four
times a day. This will often bring quick
relief from distressing head noises. Clog
ged nostrils should open, breathing be-
come easy and bearing improve as the
Inflammation in the eustachian tubes is
reduced. Parmint used in this way acts
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system and has a tonic action
that helps to obtain the desired results.
The preparation is easy to make. costs
little and is pleasant to take. Every per-
son who has catarrh or head noises or Is
hard of hearing should give this treat
ment a trial-Adv.

through all the grease and tar that

THE BABY

Perth Amboy has every reason to feel proud
of the showing made Yesterday when Child
Welfare Week was so auspiciously ushered in
with a baby parade that would do credit to
an, summer resort. 1t showed much ha'u wor"
and enthusiasm on the part of those who
planned the pageant and a great deal OF ell
terprise on the part CT parents who t1:Iec
cut with decorated baby carriages and fansy
dressed children for the display.
That the demonstration was a great success
goes without saying. That many of the slo-
gans carried on the flags and banners in the
parade carried q message with a meaning is
also certain. The welfare of the baby is being
carefully looked after in Perth Amboy today,
but there is room for a great deal more to be
done in this respect.
A city with a low i~nfantile mortality IS one to
be envied. 1t shows that it is a healthful place
in which to live. 1t shows that it is a pro-
gressive city and thoroughly alive to modern
ideas and conditions. After all is said and done,
it is certain that the nation that raises the
most babies so that they grow into manhood
and womanhood 10 the nation that will survive
the longest.
Perth Amboy has a birth rate that 10 ire
mendous. The proportion OF children to the en-
IlT6 pOpuldtioH 10 large LhA 80 1hS"A ~ ~
number of pupils in the schools and the total
voting registration as compared with other
cities. Because of this large children's popula-
ton it is the duty of the city to see that every
thing possible is done for the proper care and
training OF these little ones.
The baby clinics and district nurses are the
beginning and they are Of the utmost impor-
lance. The work they accomplish cannot be
under estimated. But as the child grows there
ought to be Fairgrounds where the play is
properly supervised the scout movement should
be encouraged so that its full benefits can be
derived here. There ought to be parks, recrea-
lion centers and bathing beaches where the
coming generation may get health and enjoy
rent.
It is a we'll governed city that properly looks
after its children. With the observance of
Child Welfare Week so happily begun 1T is up
to Perth Amboy to take the lesson to heart and
resolve that henceforth the welfare of the chill
dren of the city, in education, physical develop
ment, health and pleasure, will be the first con-
sideration Of the municipality.

able Interpretation of Il lnStltu-
lions since De To%cequeville. Comes
now his new book, Modern Democ-
racies,' the fruit of his maturest
judgment. 1t is a solemn book in
some of its aspects, and not with
out warning to America as well as to
the rest of the world. But here is
what he says about America now
and fifty years ago:
Fifty years ago administration
was worse and politics more cor
rupt than they are today. but re-
formers were fewer and found far
fewer listeners. Today they are
heard gladly. because the public con-
science and the public sense of what
America means for the world is
more sensitive. Every fresh effort
the need for Improvement before the
minds of those who lead. When |
compare the volume of discussion of
political. social and economic sub
jects which issue from the American
press today. descriptions of present
evils, analyses of their sources. sug-
gestions for their extinction, with the
scanty consideration these matters
formerly received. and with a spirit
of lugubrious dependency that chill
ed the reformers of those days, 1 am
astonished at the change, and well
come it as auguring well for future
progress"
There is comfort in this. We are
not SO good as we ought to be, but
we once were worse!
The good old tines were not so
good as fond memory paints them.

THE Roy SCOUTS.

The manner in which the public is rallying
to the cause of the Boy Scouts in the CAM
paign that is now being carried on in their
behalf is gratifying, indeed. This movement
ia mainly to raise funds to assure the boys an
outing this summer at the Boy Scout camp at
Bear Mountain. This camp is conducted for
all the scouts of this section of the country and
besides giving those who attend a real touch
of nature it is a valuable training that will
serve the boys we'll all through life.
At a time when so many fathers are out OF
work the chances of a summer outing for the
boys are rather slim unless they are provided
for in Just such a way as the Boy Scouts plan
it. There is still something of the boy spirit
left in every man and it is not hard to realize
what a week or two at a genuine camp at Bear
Mountain means. 1t is the desire of those
backing the Boy Scout movement in Perth Am
boy to send as many boys as possible to camp
this summer, and, at the same time, put the
organization in this city on a firm foundation
sc that the scouts can be properly cared for.
Perth Amboy is full Of energetic. ambitious
boys who need only to have their activities d-
rected in proper channels to make them use
ful citizens. There is no movement like the
Boy Scouts for accomplishing this.
Persons contributing to the Boy Scout fund
now being raised may rest assured that the
money will be we'll invested. We know of no
more worthy cause than that of training our
boys and girls to be better and more useful
men and women.
