There has been considerable in
quiry as to the scope Of the uni
form text book bill as it passed the
house. No local system or city
having eight months school or more
each year comes under the opera
tions of this bill, unless the boards
of education of such schools may
elect to adopt the books chosen by
the state school commission.
Messrs. CA. Fricker, Geo. Oil
yer and P. H. Williams, the gentle
men who were appointed by the
city council two weeks ago to as
.sess the city property, will be sworn
in today at 10 o'clock by the
mayor.

G Gop =. 1t s. 1sss. Daily Poem
By
Berton Braley
THE BLUFFEF


AS kid he was scared Of the other boys,
The smaller ones and the bigger
Yet he faced 'em all with seeming poise
And fought EN- with sturdy vigor;
He was scared of the girls, but he made bluff
OF courage, and stuck right to it.
And got away with it well enough,
SO nobody ever knew it.
And as he grew to mans estate
He was ever with fear athrob,
He was scared of people, and scared of Fate
And scared of his daily job;
But somehow or other he played the game
And steadily battled through it,
He was scared and frightened but Just the same
There's nobody knew it.
He bluffed his friends and he bluffed his foes
With his glorious assembling,
And nobody guessed his endless throes
Of doubt and of fear and trembling;
He died with brave words his breath,
Scared blue but he wouldn't show 1t!
He CALAMITY bluffed through life and death,
A hero who didn't know it.

IA BLESSING OF
THE BOIL WEEVIL.


THE BOIL WEEVIL.
The people of South Carolina
have opened new attack on the
boil weevil. Sunday, June 10 at the
request of their Governor they
went down on their knees and asked
the aid of the Almighty in exter-
minatmg the pest.
There IL a strang thing about our
attitude toward prayer. Since the
first glimmer of spirituality reach
ed TIE consciousness of man he has
given prayer a potent place. We
are taught to believe in an all wise
and all loving Father who is ON
nipotent in all things. To appeal
to Him through prayer is to invoke
in our behalf the power that Great
ed and controls the universe. Yet
for some reason or other we are
inclined to resort to this help only
after everything else has failed.
Because of this we undoubtedly
miss much.
The majority Of people do not
pray in a heartfelt way. They do
not actually reach out and up and
talk with God unless they are in
lot of trouble-trouble so great
as to threaten to overwhelm them.
Perhaps that is the reason why
so few people are happy and sue
cessfuL / have a belief that the
people who are the best off in this
world, in the higher sense of the
expression, are the people who have
taught themselves to pray.
1t would be hard to get statistics
on the subject, because the man
or woman given to spiritual pray
er does not care to talk about it.
| have preached subject to many
people, whose lives have seemed to
me worth while, and have been in
terested to find how many Of them
depended upon spiritual aid for
their accomplishments.
One prominent New York bust
ness man who was quite reticent
on the subject finally admitted that
he never went into an important
transaction without first offering
up a prayer for guidance. Free
quently in conference with his as.
sociates when things were going
wrong he would mentally separate
himself from the situation and
send up silent prayer. To know
him casually you would never ina
CINE it. He is very successful toe
at home and in business.
Since the war we have been
accused of swinging positively and
violently in the direction of ma
terialism. Probably we have done
this but the pendulum is now swing
ing the other way. We do not be.
lleve that ever before in the history
of the country so many cold
blooded practical business men
have voiced the statement in the
public press that spirituality only
will bring the world out of the
chaos into which it has plunged it.
self. The recent prayer proclama-
ton issued by the Governor of
South Carolina is but another indi-
cation.
If we were to venture a proph-
ecy it would be that the United
States-yes, the entire worlds
on the eve of an era of spiritual
growth and manifestation never
before equaled in the history Of
mankind.
If the boil weevil will make
South Carolina or any other sec
ton pray, it is a blessing in dis
guise.

Too Darn Genial

1t had been years, according to
neighboring gossips, since the town
crouch had uttered a word except
to his dog and his banker. If a
spark of sociabiGty and kindness
existed in him, it was said it was
for the dog. So when the animal
appeared one day minus its tail, the
banker was nominated to find out
