Thus far few citizens Of Glover have
registered to vote in the election to be
held here next month on the question
of issuing bonds to build a sewer
system for the town of Glover. Less
than twenty-five people have register

vote in the coming election.
No Football Team.
It Is announced that Glover High
School will not attempt to put out
football team this fall for the reason
that there is no football coach avail
able. While the personnel Of the high
school enrolment includes number OF
husky youths who would doubtless
prove bulwarks of strength in a foot
ball line, the Glover boys realize that
they cannot develop a successful foot
ball team without a coach and there
fore the Clover school will not be in
the football sun. The local school eX-
poets to develop good basketball teams,
however, both among boys and girls.

GRAPEFRUIT AT MORN MAKES
DOCTORS FoRLoRN.

They say if you eat an apple a day
you keep the doctor away. But what
about the grapefruit?
AS a fact it is the rhyme, the apt
ness of the thought, that has helped
make the apple famous, with all due
respect to the advertising power OF
Mother Eve. "A grapefruit each day
keeps the doctor away" had it been
sem trippingly from the tongue oil
America, would have spelled health
and happiness throughout the nation,
and incidentally have developed a
great industry of countless value, to
our railroads, our shipping, to our
farmers-in fact, to all the people in
every section of the country.
OF course there is no rivalry be-
tween the apple and the grapefruit.
both are health giving and delicious.
One should be eaten in the morning
and the other at night, and so, instead
of a divided couplet, perhaps we
might suggest a modest quartrain for
general study and dissemination.
An apple each night
And a grapefruit each morn
Make men and maids bright
And keep doctors forlorn.
Clemenceau, the Tiger of France,
that grapefruit is the mos
yitalizing and health giving of all
foods, and such an endorsement, com
ing from one who has demonstrated
his belief in the practical application
of beneficial food theories by eating
onion soup for breakfast is worthy OF
consideration.
Millions of Americans would be
healthier and happier If they ate
grapefruit every day. Medical men
say it is the most beneficial of all
fruits.
There Is a very practical side to
the Potentially of. the grapefruit.
What the orange and the prune have
done for California, grapefruit can do
for Florida. There are tens of thous-
ands of acres of Florida lands that
will grow the most luscious grape
fruit in the world. If the Legislature
of the state would come to regard
advertising as of more moment than
log rolling, the demand for this food
would soon be quadrupled, idle lands
would be turned into productive
groves.
Then America would have a lower
death rate and a healthier bank
account.

AMERICAS SCIENTIFIC TRADE
HARI-kARi.

Perhaps the most serious reflection
on American intelligence is the fact
that from the formation of our nation
TO the present day we have spent
our own people hat imported goods
are better than those If our own
manufacture.
In Great Britain and in other coun
tries the words Home Made stand as
the guarantee of excellence. With us
the mystic word imported is used by
every merchandiser in the and to
command the higher price. and no op'
p~ortunity ever is lost to convince the
customer that If real worth be desired
then the imported article must be
bought.
Neither loyalty, tariff, common
sense or anything else has served to
stem this tide of boosting for the for
can.
tNuAhioiiS ilO itiNtikS mas btGh "
the American manufacturer to
live up or RATHER down to his repu,
tation and produce in many cases
goods not quite up to the standard OF
those that come to us from foreign
lands.
The American can manufacture
the best quality goods in the world
no matter what the line, if he sets
himself the task, but in chinaware
he knows, we think, of Limoges OF
Dresden; in pottery we think of Lin
colnshire; in cutlery we dream only
Of Sheffield; our linens remind us on

Always we are told the imported
article ranks first. If we had beer
hired, each one of us, to strange
American production, we could moi
have made a better job of it. W.
have become obsessed with the
thought of foreign superiority.
If the American people will respond
to the battle cry of "Home-Made,'

HUR'P AN PAY!

If. the label on your paper doesn't
read 1923 or better, you're behind on
your subscription to The Pleasantville
Press and should hasten to square up.
With the high cost of print paper and
OF production, it's a desperate task
to furnish a semi-weekly newspaper
for $500 a year even when all pay up
promptly, and when there are lag
CARDS on the list the task becomes
well nigh hopeless. Dear subscriber,
don't lag. You may miss your best
friend some day.

fire in the house on Hartland avenue
occupied by Ralph Bickford and fam
lily and owned by the Charles Dyer
estate When Mr.. Bickford's folks
were awakened by the smell Of
smoke they got up to find the ell of
the building a mass of flames and
had to make hasty exit from the
house. The ell of the building was
quilted and the stable was totally
destroyed as the strong wind that
was blowing drove the flames from
the ell right through the stable in
quick time. When the department
arrived just the shell of the stable
was left. Well directed streams from
several lines o. hose kept the flames
from the main part OF the house.
although it was of course wet down
and damaged to some extent. A pig.
some hens and dog belonging to
Mr.. Bickford. which were in the
stable were consumed. The most of
his furniture was removed from the
building. Mr.. Bickford states his loss
as about 500 with no insurance. The
buildings were insured in the w. A.
TAYLOR agency. 1t was very fortu-
nate that the wind was blowing in
the direction it was. otherwise the
dwellings north and south of the one
burned would have had 4 close call.
