look up his family and personal his- tory, and I also find much more en- joyment in this particular book be- cause of the sentiment connected with it.
 "1 have purchased most of my books in London. There l found some of the largest second hand stores in the world. The average Englishman prefers his books second hand. Many times you will find books fifty or a hundred years old and these are valu- able from a financial view point.
 When you acquire new book all ways put your name and address on the fly leaf. Another point I would like to suggest, underline every pas sage that appeals to you, and mark up your books with your personal opin- ions and viewpoint of the book. After finishing it give youS personal opinion of the story and your comment This information will be of benefit per haps to some one later.
 There is no reason why every one cannot be collector of books. We all can have our own libraries big or small, Collection of books is a hob by 10 be cherished and l do not know of anything else l would rather do."

its reading are good, perhaps leaving a moral, but as a rule novels are only filled with excitement and only hasten the reader to the conclusion of the story as the writer pictured the story to end.
 Novels are read and are useless to the collector and don't help his collection. It is quite as bad to have too many books as not enough. No one can get along today without books. They are the working tools of a mans profession.
 ''Too many people try to accumu- late large libraries of their own, but sadly fail. No matter how many books one may have there comes a time when he must consult the public library. Books that are used only once should be secured from the li- brary.
 Books of poetry are good to col lect. They become companionable and can be read every day without becoming tiresome. Also try to get a large variety of books for your per sonal collection. In doing so you will get better angie on llle aS II was III the beginning, through the middle ages and life as we live it today. Books dealing in history and ancient languages are necessary for your col lection.
 "A personal diary is of most value. Here he can iot down occurrences as they happen in his daily life to be read later, deriving much enjoyment and profit in watching the individual development. Diaries of famous de- parted folks are good to read and col lect. Record your daily doings and you will find the diary one of the most important books in your collec- ton and of most profit to you in years to come.

YALE AUTHORITY
 RIDICULES NOVELS
No Brain Material in Them, Prof.
 Brooke Tells Hi-Y Club

NO one can recommend The best books to read'-you must make your own selection to meet your needs. T said Professor Tucker Brooke. of the department of English literature iaie university, to the members ot the High School club at the regular meeting of the club at the Y. M. c. A last night
 He said, select books you will need in the future for reference and con- panionship. Make your own list of books, best adapted to your needs in school, business or profession. There IS no need for one to collect sets or volumes of known author and laboriously read the entire set from the first to the last volume.
 Tn collecting books you are mak- ing personal history for later years. We all tire of reading series of books by one author. In your de- Neioping years, use your collective in- stihct Tn accommodating books deriv- Ing enjoyment from this instructive honby as well as valuable possession
 Because of well organized and de- veloped business enterprises book publishers overload the public with cumbersome volumes of dead material. Don't let any bookseller tell you to read selectiye set. Make your own list of books best adapted to your present and future needs. Fill your mind with book learning and you will become an intelligent speaker and thinker.
 There is no use to be ready speaker unless you have well filled mind to draw from, Many folks are merely chatterboXes dwelling on common occurrences and become easily talked out in a short time.
 "Bacon says reading. writing and talking go together By reading wholesome books your mind begins to think along the same channels of the author, you will become an intelligent writer of importance. I don't know of any more important thing you can do than that of book selection for your own library.
 Then again, to possess more books than you arc able to read makes you lazy in mind. Therefore, don't per- init your library to become too large. Read every book you purchase first before you buy another. Also avoid purchasing books in sets as advertised by clever publishers. Another prob lem in book reading and buying is the American popular novel.
 "Too many people read novels and send them to the scrap heap after finishing the story. don't believe the American novel gives any brain material outside Of the story and plot and picturing of life as it is today. People buy many times because of the large resale and circulation of our novels of today. Stories are easiest to read but they don't interest
 NO value lies in novels and reading them to excess is to be avoided Of course on the other hand novels please and amuse the in- dividual. Sometimes the effects Of

"A daddy who had been a getnle-

MOUTRIE GETS
CHEAPER POWER.

Moultrie is getting her electric
power from the plant of the Baker
County Power Co., on Notachaway
creek in Baker county, 60 miles
from Moultrie. Moultrie is not
dismantling her municipal steam
plant. Under the terms of the
contract between the city and the
Baker county company, the steam
plant is to be kept ready for
emergency service.
Moultrie, according to press dis
patches, is buying her electric pow
er at two (2) cents per kiIowat
hour, a rate that is said to be as
cheap as any rate in the state.
Moultrie consumers will deal
with the city, as they have in the
past, the power being delivered
and sold to the city and retailed
to consumers by the city.
However, corporations or indi-
viduals using electric power in
large quantities viii buy from the
company, on a sliding rate, said
to begin at six (6) cents and 60
ing down as low as one cent per
XIV. h.
Cheap power brings industrial
plants. 1t is cheap hydro-electric
power that has placed North Caro-
lima in the lead as a cotton manu-
featuring state.
The logical place to manufac-
ture our cotton into finished
product is here at the fields, saw
ing freight and utilizing the pow
er of our streams that now are
embarrassed.
Americas needs pay rolls. Give
Americas reasonable electric pow
err rates and pay rolls will come.
The climate is ideal, and there's
idle money in the land looking for
investment.

THE ONE MAN WOMAN.

WHY HAS ALICE LIED?
Begin Here Today.

Kate Ward, her husband, Dan
Ward, dead, returned to her child
hood village to care for her widower
father, Justin Parsons. To their cot
tage came Chinatown Alice, with the
story that Dan was the father of
Alice's child, Dorothy. Later came
word of Dorothy's illness. Intending
to help the child, Kate visited Alice
at the laundry of Sing 10y, with
whom the latter lived Alice direct
ed her to st. Anthon's hospital, but
on calling, Kate meets with the ans,
wer that no such child is there.
Go on With the Story.
Kate Ward wondered if she had
understood the nurse correctly.
you have no such patient? Dor
othy is not here?" she said.
No" The nurse looked at Kate
strangely. ..
Could you have made mistake
in hospitals " she suggested.
mo" Kate was turning to leave.
She stopped at the nearest drug
store and telephoned the laundry of
Sing 10y. She asked for Alice.
Dorothy isn't at the hospital, ="
she said when she heard the girls
voice at the other end of the wire.
You said she was taken to st.
Anthony's, didn't you?"
Yes, She thcre," snapped Alice.
"Eut e been thery and fount
that she isn't" persisted Kate.
"She isl" Alice replaced the re
ceiver.
Kate was stunned. She stood for
a second with the receiver in her
hand, then hung it on its hook and
made her way to the street.
She pondered the thing, and at
length understood that Alice had
lied.
"Why?" she asked herself. What
does Alice want of money if not to
use for Dorothy"
Her impulse was to go to the
laundry and demand an explanation.
