who were present. He referred to the
home as the greatest school on earth,
and said that much should be done
to beautify 1t, so as to make every
boy or girl love his home and be
proud of it. He admired the location
of the school, and assured us that,
with little work, we could make
the surroundings Of the new school

itself. Afterwards he went out on

Do you know that nine people out
of ten in Rankin County do not
brush their teeth every day? This
is one of the most important things
in your daily schedule, and 1t should
not be neglected. Your teeth have a
great deal to do with your health,
and if they are not taken care of.
you will soon lose your health and
your teeth. The majority of people
lose their teeth before they are forty
five years old. People who take care
of their teeth seldom lose them, and
when they do, they are well along in
years. A tooth brushing campaign
would be good thing for everybody,
and is what we need i'll Rankin

Do you ever change your mind?
The stubborn man seldom changes
his. That is the reason why he Is
known as a stubborn one instead OF
as successful one.
Great minds are susceptible to
change upon submission of proof.
Little ones are unable to grasp the
proof, and therefore always remain
little, and in time become stubborn.
When a strong mind changes it is
invariably for the better. That makes
it even stronger, as the small one
becomes smaller.

AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T

Some people read much, but do
very little thinking. They see the
words in print before them, but not
the great fundamental truths that
inspire those words.
The habit of reading is one Of in
estimable value to the individual, but
it should not be carried beyond the
point where intelligent thought can
dissect the subject and master the
secrets that are not otherwise re-
vealed.
Cramming the mind is just like
jamming the cylinder of an engine
at becomes too tight to function, and
is thus rendered useless.
Read a little, think a lot, and you
will travel easier and go farther on
your way.
When you come to the forks in
the road, what do you do? Does in
stinct tell you which way to go?
Instinct may lead you astray oc-
caSiOnally, but in a majority of cases
ii will point the way you should go.
The man who cultivateS his in
stinct and acts upon it moves for
ward
He who gropes in doubt stands
still.
We should never allow ourselves
to be perfectly contented. This may
seem strange advice, but it isn't.
When we are perfectly contented
there is nothing else that we desire,
and without desire there can be no

ward and accomplish greater things.
Perhaps the turtle on a log on a
sunny day is content with his lot.
But who wants to be a turtle?
Carpenter, idol of the French
prize fighting ring, was knocked out
by Jack Dempsey, American pugilist
who fought nothing worse than mos
quitoes during the war.
Now Mr.. Carpenter has been
knocked out by a negro practically
unknown to the Sawdust ring.
A few more knockOutS from gentle
men of doubtful standing may in
Auce him to knock himself out of
the business of battering other peo-

that is really worth while.

AS a professional bruiser he is
outclaSsed.
He has yet time in which to be

1t is unwise to frighten your child
by picturing a bogie man who is
lying in wait to devOur it.
Timidity is natural to the young,
and cowardice is but step removed

interests Meet at Cham
l,sr of Commerce.

Downward readjustment Of coal
prices was sought today at general
conference here attended by repre-.
sentatives OF business. Industries,
railways and public utilities.
The purpose of the conference,
called at the suggestion Of the Cham.
ber of Commerce OF the United
States, was outlined by Secretary
Hoover. He said coal movement
must be greatly facilitated and has.
tened to prevent hardship this win,
ter among householders.
Secretary Hoover called for a
united front by industrial consumers
generally to prevent "gouging' by
the coal industry. Industry, he said,
can aid in reducing coal prices by
not laying in stocks Of coal that are
not necessary.
The danger OF frantic bidding by
consumers in competition with each
other was cited by Hoover as an aid
to the coal profiteer. He said that
there will soon be a meeting between
the various State fuel distributors OF
the Northeastern States and the coal
operators, and that out Of this may
come better fair price understand
