WoRK-THE REMEDY.

A question that is generally. almost
universally asked, is: When will con-
ditions get better?
The answer is simple. says the Jack
son (Ga.) Progress-Argus: When peo-
pie go to work.
There is nothing on earth below, in
the heavens above. or under the sea
beneath that will help conditions as
long as people sit and whimper and
knock and whine. What the country
needs is more elbow grease and less
jaw-bone exercise Conditions have
been analysed, dissected, torn to pieces
long enough by the soap box philoso-
pliers. 1t is time for the workers to
step into the breach and start some
thing constructive.
Financial panics are nothing new to
this country or the other countries Of
the world. Panics come in more or
less well regulated cycle. Any student
of the country's history can tell you
that panics have been occurring with
regular frequency since the govern
ment was established. Panics are as
well established in our business system
as the planets in the solar system. AL
most everybody can tell you about the
panic of 1873, 1898 and 1914. Your
grandparents, We're they alive, could
tell you about the panic of 1887 and
others less severe.
When financial depression occurs, as
it always does after every great war,
the people are thrown into panic. They
lose their heads. nerve and morale.
They lose confidence in one another.
Everybody seeks the lifeboats, and in
the mad scramble for safety, codes of
ethics are forgotten. 1t is a case of
Lord save me and the devil take the
hindmost.
During the past few months, the
country has been up against a rather
severe storm What has been in the
back of every business mans head for
the past several years has come TO
pass. The dreaded deflation has be-
come a reality. The water has been
squeezed out of abnormal profits and
the country is face to face with bed
rock principles. We are living in a
new world, but yet many cannot for
get memories of the old--the farmer of
IS cent cotton, the business man of
excess profits.
We are on the threshold of a new
year. AS we enter into the new year,
fraught with great possibilities, every
man, woman and child should make
the determination to find the solution
TO his problem through harder work
Work win prove a. balm OF Gilead. It
will make boosters out of pessI.nists.
1t win lift the clouds and let the sun
shine in.
Get busy at something useful II you
can't make dollar, make fifty cents
If you can't raise cotton under the de-
cree of providence, raise something
else. If you can't get what you want,
be satisfied with what you can get.
Anything beats idleness and whimper-
ing.
How TO get out of the present rut?
1t is an individual problem. You must
solve it according TO your own pecu-
liar needs. So must your neighbor
What is good for one may not be good
for the other.
Work, and work only, will restore
our accustomed prosperity. 1t viii
make the wheels run. 1t will bring
smiles to faces now long with doubt
and nisgivings. 1t will fill the banks
with deposits, the home with peace and
plenty, the world with content and
good fellowship. Work!

HIGH SCHOOL ATTRACTS ATTEN
TION

Concerning the opening of the new
high choosl at this place one of our ex-
changes has the following to saw:
Calhoun county high school opened
IN the court house ut Grantsville, Sep
TENDER -. Long before the time for
opening arrived the pupils had as
Scmblcd on the court house lawn. wait
ing for the hour of = o'clock to AZ
rive. For number of years il has
ben the dream of many good citizens
OF the county to give the youths an
advantage for secondary education. A
hlIl providing for the school was pass
ed by the legislature in 1919 and rati-
FED 10y the people the same year. A
low rate of levy was laid for several
years thereafter, which gradually
went toward furnishing funds to erect
Il building. The new building was
started in the fall of 1920. but is not
yet ready for school purposes. When
completed the cost of the structure will
not he above S12J,0OO
The school opened with an enroll
mcnt of 81 pupils from all parts of
the county. The principal. Charles
kislis, and Miss Dorothy Watson
were the only persons on the teaching
force on the opening day. as the en-
rollmcnt was not expected to be large
enough Ia Justify ii larger force OF
teachers. However, the school board
decided Immediately for two addition
al members of the faculty. Miss
Clara Drake and Mr.. w. L. Burns
have been added to the force of teach
ers since the opening of school.
Ages of those enrolled range from
10 to % years. Three married ladies
are among the eager pupils whose
names appear on the registers. Sew
fral are voters. Many who have
reached the years beyond the average
age OF high school pupils are taking
advantage OF the first opportunity Of
Tered them to do secondary school
work. This interest shows that the
spirit OF progress and advancement is
present in Calhoun county, as well as
IN other counties in the state that have
the advantages of geographical condi-
tons Many citizens are highly eIat-
ed over the prospects of the school and
are already feeling that the step taken
in educational advancement has more
more than met their fond expecta-
tons

1t is estimated that the bonus bill

FOUR billions, scattered over a genera

rotary Mellon can not see how the peo-
pie could pay the price, but they have

pies pockets, in increases in the cost Of
manufactured articles, almost four bill

on aluminium wares is II per cent,
while under the Underwood law it was
20 per cent. The latter rate protected
