SNAP JUDGMENT

No one will question the engineering ability of
General l%'oethals. The work which he did at Pan
anna is greatly to his credit. But i'll declaring as he
did i'll st. Paul against the feasibility Of the Great
Lakes-st. Lawrence waterway plan he exhibits, not
a critical scientific Judgment. but a desire to dis
credit a project concerning which he confcsses him
self uainformed. He is sure the plan is impracti-
cable. although. he has not seen the reports OF thor
ough1y competent engineers who have gone over
the ground, studied it from every angle, and un-
qualiHedly endorse the plan. General Goethals
even commits the ~absurdity Of saying that in the
proposed deep waterway there will not be water
enough to accommodate tho vessels which it is pro-
posed to float. Such a statement can only cast dis
credit on the man who made it. There may be
questions as to the cost OF the improvement: Of the
length Of time which will be required for large
boats to travel from tideUater to the head OF lake
navigation: OF the quantity Of freight which will be
available for shipment by this route; these and
many other questions have arisen and have been
disposed OF. quite effectively. it seems, by men con-
With these subjects. But when General
!Goethals suggests lack OF water he merely makes
himself ridiculous.

WHAT PROSPERITY DEPENDS ON,

The prosperity Of the United States during the
next few years depends, in the first instance, on the
Willingness of the people to put forth their best ef-
tort in the commonplace work which lies within
their several spheres Of activity. There is no short
cut to be found. No miracle is to be worked for
our benefit. Individually many OF our people have
conducted themselves %prudently and wisely and
have continued to prosper. and many who have fol-
lowed the same course have suffered from conditions
Tor which they were not responsible. Further, with
out our %volition we have been dragged into the cur
rent which has engulfed SO many others, and under
the most cautious and conservative conduct our path
would still have been beset with difficulties. But col
~lectively we have launched into speculation instead
of continuing at the work of constructions. High
perity. We accepted the fiction as fact, and lived
for a time in a land OF glowing visions, destitute of
substance. The deflation to which we are so prone
to attribute our ills is merely the inevitable result
OF the initiation to which most OF us contributed.
We must now proceed to make up as best we can
i'll work for what we have lost in waste.
The second thing essential to our prosperity is
commensurate returns on the investment Of capital
and labor in all our industries. That means, among
other things. a read ust,nent in domestic prices
which will establish a ratio among commodities
more nearly approaching that which existed before
the war. 1t means good crops on the farms, and
human. energy goes a long way toward the produc-
ton OF good crops. 1t means. further, the revival
OF industry and the stabilizing of credit abroad.
The United States cannot grow rich in an impover-
ished andabarlkrupt world. Our ncighbors are our
customers. and we are theirs. In the long run we
must prosper or fail together.

Bryan is not so narrow. He is willing that.anyy
man who desires monkey for an ancestor should
parentage. 1t is not quite clear to some Of us Who
are bepighted. however, just what bearing Mr..
bryyans beliefs have on the actual fact. A lot Of
rather well informed people are still trying to, find
out something about the origin Of things, and, in
suits OF their Investigations as far as they are able
TO understand them, and are giving their reasons
Tor such conclusions as they have been able to reach.
AS we recall it, that is what Darwin did. But of

When at last he quits the earth.
And If he should die today.
Many kindly things you'd saw.
But l wonder why do men
Always seem to wait till then?
When the frost is on his cheek
And his hands lie still and cold.
All his good deeds will be told.
Those who're silent now will sneak.
When at last his journey ends

But today he mustn't know
Ihat his neighbors love him O

THE MAN
WHO LOOKS
VIGOROUS
Good Red Blood is The Only
Sure Foundation of Per-
manent Health and
Vigor.

Good color, bright eyes, solid flesh,
erect bearing are independent upon
rich red blood. If your blood is not
up to the mark your general health
can not be. Late hours, eating the
wrong foods, working indoors, IA
tigue, affect the blood. So many peo-
pie eat we'll and take exercise, yet
never seem to improve in health.
Guides Pepto-Mangan taken regularly
for while gives the blood that rich
ness and redness that produces
bounding health and vigor. 1t is a
simple, natural way to get we'll and
strong. GUIDES Pepto-Mangan comes
in liquid or tablets-at your drug,

Sunday from Ansonville after a
weeks visit there.
Mrs. N. B. Suits, of Mt. Gilead,
spent the weekend with her son,
Mr.. John Suits.
Rev. Mr.. Stork, of Mt. Gilead,
was a pleasant visitor to the
school Thursday. He conducted
chapel exercises, which was en-
joyed by the entire student body
and faculty.
The Literary Society gave a
very interesting program on
Wednesday afternoon. T he
most important number was a de-
bate: Resolved: THAT the right
of suffrage should be extended to
women" The affirmative was
represented by Lee Johnson, Fred
FARRELL and Archie Ballard, the
negative by ]. N. Currie, Ernest
Dennis and Homer Lisk.
The box supper given at the
Mangum Hill School on Friday
evening proved to be a success,
both from a social and financial
standpoint. A fishing pond"
added much to the enjoyment of
the evening. The boxes were
very attractive looking and their
contents proved to be a delight
to the purchasers. Mr.. Frank
Andrews, of Mt. Gilead, was
auctioneer and showed himself
an expert in the art of selling.
About $4,000 was cleared.
One of the most enjoyable
social events of the season was
a Washington party" given on
Saturday evening by Mr.. and
Mrs. T. B. Andrews, in honor of
their house-guests, Misses Matte
Lee Johnston, of Clarkton, and
Harold Russell of New London.
The decorations in the reception
hall were of ferns, long leaf pine
and daffodils. In the parlor the
color scheme was in the Nation
al colors, with background Of
ferns. A portrait of the Father
of his Country, draped with flags,
occupied the most important
point, while red and blue hatch
cts on a background of white
further added to the patriotic as
pect. The evening was one of
rare enjoyment. Games were
played, interspersed with music
from the Edison. A much en-
joyed contest was to form the
largest number of words from
the letters George Washington
The lucky contestants were Miss
Mamie Currie and Ralph Misen-
heimer, who were presented with
a U. S. flag. Partners were
found by matching rhymes. An.
other contest was a romance,
missing words to be supplied
from the abbreviation of States.
The winners in this were Miss
Lena Harris and Alexander Smith,
who we're awarded box OF
candy. The consolation prize, a
Washington Ratchet, went to
Miss Josie Chandler and Jack
Currie. A delicious salad course
with cake was served by Mrs
Andrews and Miss Kate Johnston
