as some would have us believe. Even
if they are bad they can not possibly
be helped by all the time grouchlng
about them and singing tale of woe.
That never has and never will help
conditions or any one else. Just as
we'll have a song of rejoicing that
things are no worse than they are and
be thankful.
There are a great many things in
this age that need readjustment much
more than the financial situation. Ev-
ery one should get busy and do his
mite to help make the world better
and happier, and to make some one
else happy, and you can not DO this
if YOU are all the time complaining
about how bad the boil weevll, for
instance, is destroying the crop, or
something else is going in the wrong
direction.
We spent fearfully and as if there
never again would be time when
there would be anything to do but to
spend, and never would we even ask
the price of what we thought we
needed. If we had saved little IN
those days may be the financial situa-
ton would have been better than it
is now. But we didn't and no good
can come of pining and whining.
There will be a better day soon. In
fact things are not near so bad now
as some people would try to make
you believe.

The Herald and News for one year
for one dollar is a bargain that you
rarely find. Better send the dollar
right along and get a good and a real
newspaper for whole year. After
the first of August or rather we
should say after the 31st of July the
price will be two dollars and all who
have not paid will be taken off the
mailing list. We are giving you, al
most an entire month to get in good
standing.

There does not seem to be such a
longing desire for office this year
as there is in some OF the political
years. We notice that in many of
the counties there are not sufficient
names announced to fill the various
places to be filed. In Newberry up
to this writing Saturday morning we
have only one candidate announced
for the legislature The time for en-
tering the race will be out next
Monday July 10 at II o'clock noon.

OVER HOME

While the boys and their mother
went to visit her sister Mrs. A. B.
Lott of Johnston l got James L. AuA
to take me in his car for brief visit
to the old folk at home OF Sunday
morning. Mrs. Alice Boozcr and
Jas. R. Davidson and little Emily
Aull went along with lis home. We
had a good dinner and enjoyed the
stay of a couple hours and returned
in the early afternoon before the
rain. The folk at home were all well
and have fine appetites and sleep
good and it was real pleasure to
spend a few hours at homo.

The crops along the way from here
to Chappells and beyond so far as we
went ale not looking very promising.
Even the corn in many places has a
sort of sickly appearance and the cot
ton is small and from what the far
mers say is prey to the boil weevil,
but this country will come through all
these troubles with the right side up
and it is the duty of the people to
keep a pleasant smile and go on doing
their duty the best way they can.

The road from NewDerfy tc Chap
pells is fine and the work on the
stretch from Chappells is in progress
but it seems to US that the progress
is mighty slow. There was one thing
that I observed that seemed little
strange to me and while it may be
no concern of mine l can rot help
making note of what l saw. The camp
is near the Sinnkins place and the
tents are spread for the people and
the harness for the mules were put
up nice which was entirely proper
but the mules were being fed in the
hot sun and exposed not only to the
sun but to the rain as we'll. l could
not help wondering why man or a
corporation would be more careful Of
the proper attention to the gears than
to the mules. Too many of US are
too Indifferent to the comfort of the
faithful dumb animals which we
work.

Bonus or Investment?

WITH whatever changes the Senate Finance
w Committee finally reports the bill for pay
ing adjusted compensation to veterans, the
eliminate the farm aid and home aid provisions.
These the two fundamentally constructive
features Of the entire situation Cash payments,
paid-up insurance policies, subject,
justly or unjusty, to criticism. Opponents of the
measure will not hesitate to brand such. with some
logic, gratuities taken from the public treasury
during critical times.
But farm and home aid granted with proper
provisions and restrictions constitute investments
by the government in the future Of the United
States and in the energy and ambition OF the
veterans themselves.
The bonus" bill now seems certain to pass
in form another. Upon the spirit of Con-
grcss depends whether it becomes an asset or a
liability to the nation. If members of the national
legislature consider it in the light of a political
retainer fee it contains possibilities OF evil. IT.,
however, they look upon it money staked the
prospects in life of the who fought the great
and who set back financially by the
chasm created in their lives, dreful predictions
not liable to true.
In normal times, confident, cash provi-
sions likely to be interpreted gratuities would
prove little attraction to the worthwhile men who
fought against Germany. What they seek is a
fundamental basis upon which to build a future
and this the bonus" BILL passed in the right
form, may give.

Nature Runs Wild.

DROVIDENCE has visited upon the United
States its full share Of trbulations during
the past year.
Disasters OF food and storm have succeeded
another with alarming regularity. Fort Worth
and North Texas come at the end Of a sorrowful
line. Pueblo, San Antonio and Mississippi Valley
towns each paid their of human lives be-
fore the merciess onrush of water.
few years ago all these would have been
intelligences Today they to illustrate
upon what insecure basis rests human life
despite the safeguards of the most substantial
material civilization the world ever has known.
These disasters show how far man must yet
go before he conquers nature Most of the time
she is like an old cavalry horse. She takes the bit
easily and responds to the slightest pressure Of the
knee. She is safe for children to ride. All of a
sudden she becomes frightened at scrap OF
'eolored paper in the wind and goes wild. The
best horseman cannot control her.
AS a result OF these storms stronger reins and
sharper spurs will be provided the human race.
Lessons taught by catastrophes usually needed.
But nature, although her wild, free spirit may
remain subducd for a while loses her in
dependence She will continue to throw and
tramplc upon her rider until the last day of human
existence and she will select the time when it is
least expected to make one of her demonstrations.
Most of the time she will be content to remain
gentle old beast OF burden, serving mankind
But she knows her strength and will show
it and then.

phere OF Washington, If allowed complete freedom
to develop. it has splendid opportunity to prove
it, right TO existence.
The commission is right in its stand that the
bus lines should be controlled by companies on a
firm financial basis. Much OF the criticism directed
against this form OF transportation in the past
has been justified by conditions due to lack OF
sufficient capital by the promoters. AS result
the service sometimes has been unreliable and
without painstakng provision for the comfort of
tho patrons.
The whole program adopted by the Public

The first and most serious OF these is the
proposed reduction in the number OF permanent

provided for four Extra men, not allowed by the
House. The conferees. learn, have decided to
reduce this number to two.
The building department OF the District govern

Advice to Simonds.

To the Editor, The Washing ton Herald:
wish to register my satisfsc-
ton with the Open Court letter that
apea-ed in your issue of April "a.
in which mild suggestion was made
by George r. Fiske to the syndi-
Gated articles by Frank II. Simonds.
AS a journalist Mr. Simonds un-
doubtedly ranks righ, and during
the late war he did very excellent
service, but it would appear that
the blood and misery that he was
wont to depict In those years Of
international stress has created =
pessimistic obsession in his general
outlook of men and measures. There
is also a heavy ponderosity about
all his gloom that Is mentally very
depressing. However. he now de-
livers an alibi with everything he
writes. He goes on at length with
a gloomy hypothesis as the gist Of
his diplomatic story, and then all
bis his stun by saying usually
near the conclusion of his article.
that what he has predicted will not
come to pass on the happening of
such and such a contingency. He
has become passe and should lay
off for a few months and take a
trip to Egypt. or. better. the South
Sea Islands. where he would have
a chance to forget it. far from the
ma dding confusion of diplomatic
rumo-s and intrigues. Mr.. Sln,pnds
reminds the writer of Western
railroad attorney, who in answer
ing complaint in an action
brought against the defendant
railroad for injuries sustained by
the plaintiff while a passenger on
the formers road. traversed by
denying that the plaintiff ever was
injured by or upon the defendants
road, but that II he was. then the
plaintiff was himself to blame as
being guilty Of cont-ibutory negli-
Cence.
What the world needs now is an
optimistic tonic. Conditions are
certainly bad as it is without fore
casting a deal of international
strife that may perchance never
occur.
