What the Reds Are Kicking At.

You know what difference a shave and haircut make in your thoughts" observes the philosopher of the Type Metal Masazine, discoursing of social problems. You sit in a bar ber's chair tired and depressed A half hour later you get up, cheerful and optimistic, refreshed in mind and body. Suppose you shaved about once week. bathed every other week, slept between dirty blankets In a room with five other men, ate greasy, badly cooked food. and worked in a shop that never had a thorough cleaning You might join the Reds and protest against the government but you would really be protesting against dirt and bad food"

Broadening Effect
OF Club Work
How Winston County Club Boy Paid
His Way to Vacation Short
Course.

One of the most concrete examples
of the inspiration and broadening
vision that boys club work awakens
in the hearts of farm boys was
brought to light when Martin Cherry
of near Louisville attended the Vaca-
! ton Short Course in Junior Farm
Mechanics, held at the A. & M. Col
lege, August 8-18. Martin is a poor
boy financially speaking, living on a
little farm several mics from Louis
vile, Miss. He is seventeen years old,
End had never seen much chance OF
ever getting a college education. But
the county agent got him interested in
club work the first of the year and he
Joined the pig club. Through his
county agent and through letters from
the club division, he began to hear a
bout the Short Course to be held at
the A. & M. College in August fo~
club boys. He wanted to come to the
Short Course but didn't have enough
money to pay his expenses, and saw
no chance to make any. After rack
ing his brain for some way to get
enough money to take the course, he
happened to think of his shot gun,
and wondered if he could pawn it for
enough money to pay his expenses.
This he finally did and his county
agent brought him to the Short
Course with $1,000 tucked away in
his pocket book.
After arriving at the College and
going over the grounds and buildings,
Martin made the statement that some
day he would be a graduate of A. &
M. College, and nobody who met him
during this ten days Short Course
doubted his statement He kept a
note book with him all the time dur
ing his course and no important state
ment or point was made by his
structors and the lecturers that he did
not jot down. During leisure moments
sale could be seen out to one side "
saote book and pencil in hand, record
Tal.g some important note.
Although Martin Cherry may not
yet Sc how he is to pay for his edu-
cation he has been inspired with a
new vision and determination and
he will certainly find some way as ev-
cry boy will if he has the vision and
determination to get an education.
He found q way to attend the Club
Boys Short Course, and he will fina
way to pay for his education at the
great A. d M. College.

NEW planning MILL
FOR OUR CITY
MACHINERY NOW ON ROAD FOR
NEW PLANNING MILL WHICH
WILL BE PLACED ON THE BAG
GETT SPUR.

Another New Industry for Oxford
Messrs. c. H. Roach and Joe Smith
have bought new planning machine
and complete outfit for dressing lum-
Der, manufacturing ceiling, flooring,
siding and finishing stuff, and the
machinery is now in transit from the
factory. It will be installed on the
Baggett Spur track near the ice
plant, where a half million feet of
lumber is now stacked and awaiting
the arrival of the machinery to be
dressed.
The mill is OF 10000 feet per day
capacity, and Mr.. Roach stated to
your reporter that fully a half years
work had been secured from the
Owen Tie Company, and that the mill
would probably be operated 1S hours
per day.
This industry is only one of many
industries which are needed in Ok
ford. We need a canning factory, a
bakery, a creamery, a brick and tile
factory, an overall factory, knitting
mill, and other small industries. We
will get them if we will all pull to-
gether and make the proper efforts.
Such industries would furnish en-
ployment to the many young men of
the town and would be the means of
attracting new people and adding
to our population.
