Why Some Towns Grow While
Others Do Not.

Two Greenwood merchants are
taking more space in the Press and
Banner today than all the merchants
in Abbeville are taking. The Green
wood merchants are going to use
more space in the Press and Banner.
One Greenwood shoe shop sold
more shoes to Abbeville people last
week than any three stores in Able
vile sold to Abbeville people.
If you will read the Greenwood po-
per, and it is worth reading, you will
find that good Abbeville people are
in Greenwood every day. They go
there to trade.
The Greenwood merchants adver-
tise in their home paper, and thus
they have built up a business which
reaches out into other counties as
far as the paper reaches. They are
beginning to reach over into the town
of Abbeville and take away the GUS
toners of the home merchants. The
latter think business is dead.
If you will read the Lexington pa
pers you will see that they are full
of the advertisements of Columbia
merchants. On the streets of Column
bia, and in the Columbia stores, every
day you will find Lexington people
doing their shopping. If you were in
Lexington you would find the Lexing-
ton merchants asleep on their coun-
ters, or maybe sitting on drygoods
box of last year telling somebody
how dull business is. 81
But the merchants in Columbia and
in Greenwood know better. Hence
they advertise.
Some people want to know why
Abbeville does not grow and prosper
like other communities. Look at the
advertising columns Of the local pa
pers, and you will know the reasan
why. Our merchants have lost their
"pep." 1t takes "pep" to get busi-
ness.

orally innocent of motives attributed
to them by their sophisticated elders.
This is not saying that these motives
may not be obscurely at work, but
it accounts for the fact that young.
people have been scandalizing their
seniors for thousands Of years, and
that there is an indestructible NOR
atty about them nevertheless.
Not that the young are ignorant
nowadays on sex subjects. What
good did it ever do them to be igno-
rant? It is possible to take course
in embryology and preserve ones
virtue still. In fact, about the surest
way to instill habits of virtue into
the young is to send them to a coed
ucational university and cause them
to take laboratory courses in biol
ogy and modern drama, with stiff
examinations.
The only way to get really high
average of manners in democracy
is to give the young an adequate
education. That means a sound high
er education, in conduct as well as
book knowledge. The home and the
Sunday-school are quite incapable, at
present, of doing their jobs. The cfer-
gy and the average parent are better
scholars than teachers AS long as
things are as they are and we have
children quitting school in the grades,
we are going to have raw minds and
consequent raw manners. Bishop
William of Wykeham may have scold-
ed and sorrowed and pleaded at the
youth of fourteenth-century England,
but he did smething good deal more
effectual when he founded inter
mediate schools at Winchester and
New College.
This country is niggardly in edr-
cational expenditure and extravagant
in military expenditure, like every
other "civilized" nation. We say that
we must pay the war debt and get
ready for future war before we can
do much to make the world a toler-
able place to be born into. Some very
expert financiers have advocated un-
iversal canceling of international
debts as necessary prelude to a
sane reconstruction of tottering
society. But do we hear any welcome
to this suggestion? No! We prefer
to totter.
Young people may not have as
good manners as their elders, but the
monumental follies and catastrophes
Of history have come about because
OF the fswisdom" and parsimony OF
the aged rulers of the world,

To Reduce the Weight.

From the number of letters which
keep coming, the whole feminine
world is too fat and wants to know.
how to reduce itself and make itself
more comfortable and more attrac-
tive. There are number of reasons
why we should not allow ourselves to
become too large. First, an excess of
fat is not healthy, it is hard on the
heart and dangerous in other ways;
second, it is not comfortable; and
third, it is not becoming. I do not
mean that we all want to be skinny or
that plumpness is unattractive.
AS a general rule it is simply a
question of eating too much. There
are some people that eat very spar
ingly and still continue to put on
flesh but they are the exception and
should see a doctor if uncomfortably
stout. l-s~. Ag!Rs Z =
Therefore the first thing to do to
reduce flesh is to eat small portions
of all foods, always leaving the table
a little hungry. 1t is a good rule to
limit oneself to one helping of each
dish. Starches and sugars should be
avoided-potatoes, cereals, breads,
puddings and pies. Do not use an ex-
cessive amount of sugar in tea or
coffee; and leave off candy, especial
ly between meals.
After all these "don'ts" there
seems very little left but not so; for
one can eat plenty of green vege-
tables, salads, and fruits, excepting
bananas. Milk, meat and eggs taken
in reasonable amounts do no harm
and butter may be used sparingly.
To make oneself more comfort
able and aid the appearance one
should buy a good corset that fits
we'll and comes just above the waist
line, and a snug, well-fitting bras
siere. Stocking supporters should be
attached to the corsets and broad
heeled shoes worn. More exercise will
be taken if we are properly dressed
and Nthe expense is more than JUS
titled.
For dresses the stout woman should
select loose ones that have long lines;
those that hang from the shoulders
are good. Avoid light shirt waists
with dark skirts as these add to the
apparent size, as do broad stripes and
plaids. There is nothing that is more
universally becoming or that will
make one look smaller than dark,
loosely-ftting clothes, neat shoes,
and skirts that are not too long nor
full.-Progressive Farmer.

Why That Headache?

When you know the cause of dis
ease a cure may often be effected.
This is particularly true of headache.
Headache often results from consti-
patton or disordered condition of
the stomach which may be corrected
by tat::ng dose or two of Chamber
lai:fs Tablets. Try it. These tablets
are easy to take and mild and gentle
in effect.

Intern the Gossips.

"They say" 1T is rumored,
have been told" and kindred express
sions have caused more heartaches;
blasted more characters and thrown
into bankruptcy more business in
stitutions than any other combination
of words in the English language.
To destroy confidence either in an in
dividual or in business institution
by circulating unfounded rumors,
maiiciously or not, is a most repre-
hensive practice. Those who indulge
in it should be interned on some is
land in the middle of the sea where
their uncontrolled tongues could
have full play without making VIC
tins Of the innocent. s. :.
Recently an unconfrmed ru1nos,
that large bank in the city of Dali
las was in trouble was circulated.
The report spread throughout the
city and within an hour depositors
were crowding the lobby and extend
out into the street, each one intent
on fighting his or her way to the win
dow before it was too late. Fortu-
nately the run on this bank was made
by small depositors only, but had not
the financial interests of the city,
through their representatives, ad-
dressed the crowd and issued state
ments through the newspaper extras
showing that this particular institu-
tion was solvent beyond doubt, the
run might have been more serious.
Even though this institution found it
possible to satisfy all demands cas-
lily and without embarrassment, fl
nancially there is no way of estimat-
ing the injury done by destroying or
weakening the confidence the thou
sands of depositors had in the bank.
and in its officers and directors.
The neighborhood gossip, despic-
able as he or she may be, mas a COM
paratively narrow influence. The ped
dler of rumors in the business world
undermines the confidence of the
public in institutions in which thou
sand are directly or Indirectly inter-
ested. One false rumor-one careless
remark-frequently becomes the ba-
sis for exaggerated stories which
may eventually wreck bank or other
business institution, which, according
to all rules of business and reason,
was solvent.
Confidence is necessary in busi-
ness. A good reputation is often bet
ter security than lands or bonds. At
this period in the history of this Ma
tion we need to restore confidence in
our fellow men, in our business in
stitutions and in ourselves. 1t is a
time when men and organizations
should work in harmony and lend a
helping hand where needed. The prac
tice of the Golden Rule would do
much towards restoring peace and
prosperity throughout the world

There is a pathological tinge to a
good deal of the horror at women's
clothes. The mutual calm and content
of a youth. and maiden parading in
wet bathing suits before crowd Oh
their fellow-men in the same predic-
ament on bathing beach, is health
ier. The sooner we get rid of the no
ton that there is virtue in wearing
bales of cloth, the better. Likewise
it were we'll for some people to learn
to bear with resignation the thought
that all human beings have arms and
legs, and that the only. valid reason
for covering them up are the climate,
rheumatism, or badly set fractures.
These short skirt moralists might well
take more time considering their
blessings. What if evolution: has de-
cided that women should be cent?

ALLEGED WHITE >. MULERS UNDER
 ARREST RENAL

The arm of the law has reached Kenai. Three men, Joe Consiel, George Hillery, and Douglas Duncan, have been arrested on a charge of violating the Volstead act by manufacturing and selling alcoholic liquors. Af- ter preliminary hearing in Kenai precinct they were bound over to the grand jury at Valdez by Commis- sioner Bogart of Seldovia. Bail was set at S2,000 and as no satisfactory securities were forth coming the men will be taken to the Seldo- via jail.
 The men ran the Moose Horn' pool hall, claimed to be owned by Joe Consiel. George Hillery is said to be a partner of Consiel, but Duncan, who claims Anchor age as his residence, claims he is an electrician hired by the partners to install a unit lighting system. He has been in Kenai since Novem- Der 1920.
 United States Deputy Marshal c. w. Harrington and Commissioner Bogart reached Kenai aboard the Gena and have held court in Kenai four or five days. Paul Panchin was sentenced by Commissioner Bogart to sixty days in the Seldovia jail for abusive language, burglary, and being a gen. eral nuisance. Several min- or cases were brought up but on account of the in- sufficient evidence were dis missed.

 The Chamber passed a resolution that the secretary should publish in advance a notice of each meeting and in case business of special interest was to be discussed the secretary should empha- size the fact by announcing that important matters were up for consideration.
 To all appearances the meeting closed with har- mond and good will of all present.

CIRCLE PREPARING FOR BIG SUMMER

Claude Kelly, Clerk of court at Circle, where he went on official business, says the Fairbanks News Miner, returned recently. He thought the trip would re duce him but he came back about ten pounds heavier, with a luxuriant crop of tan where the white used to be.
 He reports the Circle camp as never changing kind - just the same ol' camp it al- ways was, with the ol' tim CTS sticking together in the usual way. None of them ever has any troubles, and the Circleites are the best friends Fairbanks has in the North.
 They are getting ready to work full blast with dredge and hydaulic in the Masto- don and Eagle camps this year and they are hopeful there as ever. They expect to start earlier this year and work later, and to do the best they can.
 On the Twelvemile the Caribou are running in hun dreds and thousands. On their trail they march like Indians, single file, and the trail they travel looks like our streets did this spring, when the snow was piled high and the street was sev- eral feet lower thus their trail through the snow, is beaten down six feet more.
 Claude says that it was just like going to Dawson to visit the ol' timers out that way. They are the salt of the earth, the true Alas kans, and the people with whom it is save to tie to.
