whose children have already pass

" that the writer is a narrow minded
person and in all probability is par
ent who needs to have present con
ditiof called to his attention. If his
children had not passed he would
without doubt have blamed the fac
ulty. and, like many other parents,
he is probably blind to the faults OF
his own children. but can readily see
those of others.
Do the parents think for a minute
that the faculty and the board OF
education would have taken the time

very much mistaken.
have always found that the teach
ers are willing and ready to stay al
ter school to help any Of us who ask
for assistance. But how many OF
them ever get kind word from the
parents, or even thanks from the pu
pills? Then one parent has dared to
say that it is the teachers who are
failing to do their duty towards their
children. In fact, from what | have
observed, the teachers take more in
terest In their pupils than many par
ents do.
! High school is not the place for
the pupils to learn how to dress and
how to conduct themselves. The
parents should at least teach their
children these things. A splendid
thing for the parents of today to dc
is to set a good example both as tc
dress and conduct. How can they

WHEN A MAN IS OUT

Ole OF the great welfare or
! CARNATIONS has for its slogan:
"a man may be down, but he is
never out" This may be true
SO far as his souls salvation or
his ability to make q living is
concerned, but men owe certain
obligations to their fellowmen
and to the communities in
which they live. In this respect
some men are both down and
out. When a man reaches that.
stage in pessimism where he
does not believe in the future of
his community and his govern
ment; when he has lost faith in
his fellowmen and believes that
all men in public life are hypo-
critics or grafters; when he be-
lieves that there is a NEGRO in
every woodpile" and that every
man has his price, that man is
on dangerous ground and his
day of usefulness is about over.
The last stage in his decline is
self pity. When he decides that
the world and circumstances are
against him, then he is both
down and out.
These are the symptoms that
usually appear in the man whose
--latest sun is sinking fast
Whose race is nearly rum"
The symptoms may not all APP
pear in the same case, but
enough Of them will be in evil
dence to enable even the novice
to make a reasonably certain
diagnosis. Skilled diagnosti-
clans of public-spirited citizens
and community builders will re-
cognize one Of these afflicted
creatures just by his whine.
Modern progress and the
spirit. of cooperation that per-
vades all classes and condition
Of men has almost eradicated
this disease, but we have an af-
flicted individual here and there
Just enough to remind us that
the germ is still in existence.
There is no known remedy for
this ailment after it has reached
It's advanced stage. All we can
DO is to wait for the poor fellow
to "cash in" and then try to
get better one in his place.
We must believe that the
world is better today than it has
ever been; that the milk Of
human kindness" has not dried
Up in human breasts, and that
n spite of the weaknesses, sell
fishness and sins Of men, our
homes, our institutions and our
government win be preserved
md win improve with the pass
ng years.
The vast majority of people
ire honest, patriotic and prog
'essive. They have an abiding
'aith in Almighty God, in their
'ellowmen and in the final tri-
lmph of right and justice
When a man gets away from
hese things his day of useful
less is done and he is both down
md out so far as being an asset
S concerned.
1t is needless to whine; it is
leedless to doubt; it is needless
Q object. The world is moving
long, and
When the great scorer comes
To write against your name,
lie writes, not that you won or /
lost,
But how you played the game"

Highway Officials Make Statement.
Editor Leader-Our attention has
been called to press dispatches show
ing that one of the candidates for
governor made the statement in his
speech at Covington that the present
highway commission were expanding
about so per cent. of their revenue
for salaries.
A complete audit of our books
shows that since taking charge of
this department on June /. 1919, to
October l, 1922, we have expended a
total of S13,739,238.57. For over
head, miscellaneous and incidental
expenses we have expended the sum.
Of 81, 446,S10.05, or a percentage Of
1915. This expense includes the field
survey of more than 1000 miles of
road that has not been let to con-
tract, hence this expense will be
saved when these projects are ready
for submission to the federal gov
eminent for approval. On all project
agreements approved by the federal
government 10 per cent. is allowed
to pay engineering expenses of the
construction alone. When this allow
ance is deducted from the expenses
it will show very small overhead
expense. This expense alone includes
the freight on two and one-half mil
lion dollars worth of federal equip
ment now on hand to be assigned to
the different counties of the state to
assist them in road building.
This statement can be verified by
an investigation of our books by any
taxpayer in Tennessee.

COOPERATION


We hear a great deal about co
operation on all sides and from
many different sources. Busi
ness mems clubs will talk Of CO.
operation, merchants and bank
ers will talk it, but when it comes
down to the point, do we co
operate?
"A series Of meetings was
held in our county last week
and without doubt the meet
ings were the best held in the
county for years. Some pub
lic-spirited, unselfish men OF
Shelby county spent their
valuable time and their money
to make it possible for the
farmers of Upton county to
hear and see some things that
would benefit them. Mr.. Geo.
R. James, of Memphis; DR..
Polk, of Millington; Mr.. G. G.
Hanson, of Hansonhurst, and
others made it possible for us
to have these exceptional meet
ings.
Mr.. James, DR.. Polk and Mr..
Hanson brought message to
the farmer that was very time
ly and in a way that made a
most profound impression on
all. The meetings were attend
ed by more than 900 men, wo-
men and children of the county.
After the excellent talks made
a series of motion pictures
was shown. The power for
these pictures was developed by
Mr.. Hanson's truck, equipped
for the purpose with a Delco
plant, and the reels used were
very interesting and instructive.
One picture Of two reels was
shown of the Hansonhurst
Creamery, showing the process
of making butter from the time
the trucks leave the plant for
their respective routes to the
time the butter was wrapperd
and packed for shipment. This
film also showed some beautiful
scenes along the route of the
truck. Another picture used
was Hearts and Jerseys, made
by the American Jersey Cattle
club. This picture in five reels
shows the Jersey in all her
glory. The theme of the picture
showing the rundown farm
like so many in Upton county,
and how the Jersey COW
brought this farm to a state Of
high fertility and made it pos
sible for the family on this
farm to have and enjoy all the
comforts that the farmer is
justly due.
Now, a little about our So
called cooperation. These gen
tlemen mentioned above drove
out each night from Memphis
and Millington, held these meet
ings to be Of service to their
fellowman. The people of Cow
ington were asked repeatedly to
come out to the meetings and ex-
tend a glad hand Of welcome to
these public-spirited men, who
are doing so much for us, and to
show the farmers of our own
that they are interested |
in our welfare. Did the people !
Of Covington go? No. There (
are many automobiles in Coving- I
ton, but many owners Of auto 7
were asked if they would
come out and the answer lIlVarl- +
ably was: WHO can / 60 with?
Ny car is out of commission" or
some other flirnsy excuse. These
flivvers of ours will flivver
seven days in the week if we
want to flivver somewhere, but
when a time comes to use them
n a work Of real service and a
Of our unselfish interest
