A CHEERING SIGN

Times cannot be so bad as some
GROWERS try to make out, and they
can not be. getting worse, as the
most disconsolate of the GROWERS
contend, in a country where the
Christmas mail is 40 per cent heav-
ier this year than last. AS the incre-
ment is in parcel-post matter, it
means that more people in the United
States are giving more Christmas
presents than did so twelve months
ago., and they wouldn't be doing that
if they felt themselves poor and
growing poorer. . y
If there has been, as seems to be
the case, an increased tendency to-
avoid the making Of worthless and
trashy gifts, as was too much the
habit in days past, and to- use more
Judgment and sense in the expression
of goodwill, that is change decld-
edly for the better. and is to be
commended. 2
Of course, Christmas present
should not be too useful, too much
an object of common necessity, for
then it loses; all seasonal SAVIOR and
becomes soemtihng like charity, when
it isn't the giving of fine name to
something that would have been
bought anyway. But when a gift ex-
cites in the receivers mind wonder
what it is for and why it was given,
then it Is just a waste Of money

Editor of The Press and Banner:
Now that Christmas is over and
we have settled down to business
again and started off the new year
with a lot Of new 1922 energy, and
everybody looking forward to a
good sturdy growth IN business dur
ing the year, Let us quit talking
boil weevil and get right down to
business. I, for one, feel that the
boil weevil is blessing for US
all in disguise. However, the most
people will disagree with me in this
respect, nevertheless when we roll
in our record for 1922 we will all
see that this prediction is correct
and we will all be so much better
off then than we think now, provid-
ed that we ali get right down to
good sturdy, hard work and do our
full duty. The harder times look to
us the more effort we should put
forth to keep prosperity with US.
But what l. started out in part to
say is as this is kindly between
season with our merchants let US
all come together and nut forth
energy and effort and all cooperate
and pull. off a real Dollar Day
sale and clean up the winter stock
80 that the merchants can all know
just how to buy the: spring stock
and still give. to- the trading public
a lot of real bargains. . This. lam
sure; will be advantageous to all
concerned. We pulled OF 4 Dollar
Day in the spring Of 1921 without.
much effort and the merchants
and the trading public were all
pleased" with results. Now let US all
come together and cooperate and
put in an effort and we can chave
a wonderful day for Abbeville and
lam. sure we will all be pleased.

llf. in aIn City Not Best.

Cream will rise to the surface any
where, says Mr.. Box, and the institu-
lions of the big city will reach out
for their captains only where they
find quality. He says Of the aspiring
youth:
LET him use the great city as a
market In which to buy or sell; to
see and profit; let him use 1t as place
to go for good time If he chooses.
Let him bring back with him the best
within 1t to serve his own community
but leave behind him its turmoil and
restlessness that vexes the spirit and
makes the young old. Let him think
twice and thrice before he raises bis
children with the CHASTITY memory of
a steam radiator In a city fiat"
Which Is pretty good advice after
all.

SHOWED RIGHT CIVIC SPIRIT
interesting Story Of How Youngsters
Brought About the Regeneration
Of Their Village.

Twelve boys who started out In
semi-playful mood under the name or
"Dlrty Dozen" finally we're led on I'M
I'll they had cleaned up a whole COM
munity Of 1900 people physically and
morally. At last their name was
changed to "Diligent Dozen"
There was a quiet little mother Of
one OF the twelve hidden behind the
scenes. who never appeared publicly
to be connected with the AFFAIR, but
at whose house there was nysteri-
Gus generator Of brilliant ideas for
such boys. The twelve IDS" met
both Friday evening and Sunday af-
ternoon for conference, writes william
A. McKeever In the Chicago American.
The town cleanup Of the boys was
worked In accordance with the rules
Of what we call good psychology"
They met with the proprtetors of the
main business section, two blocks In
length. and agreed to clean up the
streets IN front of them and keep them
clean for a year, provided these men
would do likewise with their store
fronts and interiors. The general
transformation began with d rush,
Saturday morning early the dozen
were there with sweepers shovels and
wheelbarrOws, and by noon the street
looked strangely new.
The week following soap, water,
paint and putty were brought freely
into use on the old store buildings.
Old tobacco tags, circus bills and no
tees of paInkillers were raked down
and burned. About one-thlrd OF the
display wlndows-under the influence
of this revival were torn out and re-
placed with plate glass fronts. Many
Interior improvements followed.
The school buildings and church
structures were next attacked by the
IDS" The school officials were re-
quested to clean and repair the build
ings and the teacher gave half-holl-
day so that pupils might thus review
the school yards. The dozen them
selves took care Of the vacant lots on
which the church buildings stood.

MEMORIAL DAY.

On next Wednesday, April 10th.
we will mingle our tears with those
Of our sister cities throughout the
Southland where sleep the hero
dead who marched with Lee and
Jackson under the starry cross OF
Dixie. No day should be or is held
more in reverence than this when
we listen to words depicting the
heroism of the soldiers of the Lost
Cause" so many Of whom sleep
beneath the sod and on whose
graves the springs sweetest garlands
are laid by loving hands.
Fifty seven years have elosped
since the sun of the Confederacy
went down forever Appomattox,
where the curtain fell upon the
saddest, the most terrible tradgedy
ever enacted upon the stage OF life.
Time in her tempestuous flight
has swept away all the bitterness of
feeling that once existed between
the two great sections of cur coun-
try. We feel that it is naught but
right to stand for the Union once
more. vet we must not forget, nor
pass to lightly, the prihcipIesin de.
fence of which our fathers fought.
We would not have our sons and
daughters to forget or pass to lightly
those underlying principles for
which this war was waged which
does not justify the North for bring
ing about this narrowing and UNI
natural conflict.
We love the Union as we do our
life, yet why should we not clieng
with a stronger love to the memory
of the grand old South and her
chivalric men and women, the Con-
federate government, which lives
only in song, and Robert Lee and
his peerless followers, with thou
sand fold stronger tenacity.
Most of The heroes have answered
the last call. They lie beneath
sacred dust while the few remaining
ones are stopped with age and wear
the frosts Of years upon their heads,
yet are gracefully going down the
decline that shall soon number them
with their comrades. They all de-
serve the honor that is showered
upon them every day yet which is
made a public outpouring on this
day. They are our heroes and we,
with the strict approval of all the
world SO acclaim them and do hom-
age that is meet.

MANS DUTY TO HOME TOWN
Civic Obligations Are Not Always as
Thoroughly Recognized az
They Ought to BE.

There is no country In the world In
which wealth so generally recognizes
its obligations to the public as ID
America. Vast sums have been devot-
ed to public use, to the great benefit
of the public. But municipalities have
not figured largely as beneficiaries,
though they have to some extent. In
dianapolis has by no means been for
gotten. And 1t surely ought to be
a pleasure for any person with the
right feeling toward the city or town
in which he has lived to do something
with his money to make life In 1t
happier and pleasanter. The obliga-
ton Of a man to his town is like that
which he owes to his church or his
university, and 1t should be as gladly
performed. This feeling is becoming
more widely prevalent in Indianapolis,
and II will bring results In which all
will rejoice. Civic life can be made
better, and a proper civic pride devel-
oped In this way that will be worth
much.-Indianapolis News.
