UNIVERSAL
LANGUAGE
COMING
Radio Use to Bring Result, Is
Theory-AdoptiOn Of Eng
Iish Predicted.

With the prediction being con-
stantly made that it is only a
matter Of months before there
will be constant communication
between continents, particularly
Europe and America, the question
arises as to what other develop
ments win come along with this
one.
Common Language Seen.
Many have been bold enough to
predict that an international Ian
buage will naturally come out If
constant communication between
races.
With Americans listening daily
to concerts in Paris, Rome and
Berlin, and with Europeans tuning
in for programs from New York,
Philadelphia, and Washington, Is
It unnatural to suppose that we
viii soon be using the same Ian.
guage as are the French or Ger.
mans?
If we listen to their concerts we
will have to listen, to their an.
nouncements and, according to
many, will want to learn enough
to understand them. Then we viii
listen to their speeches and soon
the change will be made. Or viii
it be, which Is more likely, that
they will listen to our concerts and
to our announcers and finally to
our speakers, making the English
language the universal one? Pos
sibly a composite international Ian
guage made up from the various
tongues now in use win be evolved.
English May Be Used.
Most thinkers believe that II In
the future there IL an international
language, one or our present
tongues will be adopted rather than
a new one. And many think Eng.
lish will eventually be the uni.
versal mode Of speech.
The English speaking races are
leading at present, politically, econ.
omically and scientifically. Will
this have prepondering influence
on the selection Of a language?
With England and America dictat-
ing the political and economic pol.
icies Of the world, and with scien.
tific equipment to put it across"
superior to that used anywhere else
In the world. IL seems only natural
to believe that English has more
chance than any other now in gem
eral use.
Advantages Named.
French has been the diplomatic
language for many centuries and
as q result some futurists believe
that II any language eventually be-
comes universal. II will be French.
But in recent years English has
probably been used as much as
French in International conferences.
Certainly more people speak the
former at the present time.
Briefly, those in favor of Eng.
fish believe that the English speak
ing nations are far ahead Of the
other nations in radio development,
that az a result other nations will
listen in to our broadcasting stations
more than we will to theirs, thus
that other nations will learn Eng
fish, not only the wealthy, but all
classes, and that as q natural out
come the world will eventually use
English. Only time can tell.

HOW TO BUILD UP FITzGERALD-Build-

ing a community is everybody's job The home
owner, the landlord, the merchant, the housewife,
the minister the doctor, the school princ pal, the
governing board, the civic societies, the police
ment, the fremen-in fact everyone with dis
tinct home interest must play his part. The local
newspaper is he point of contact through which
these various elements must function and express
themselves. The home town publication is mir
of the life Of the community inspiring suggest
ing, helping and usually sacrificing a great deal
to the general work of upbuildng. 1t is the
centrated reflection of the home town interest as
opposed to activities in its midst, whose sole aim
is to take the home town dollar out of town and
attach it to the bank account of some foreign cor
poration.
The appeal of the foreign corporttion for the
home town dollar is usually an appeal to cupid
ity camouflaged as safe and economical buying
For the most part it is made in secret-direct by
mail the circular the booklet, the disguised
nimeographed letter systematically prepared by
expert mail statesmen, with the usual follow ups
destined to extract and carry away to the distant
bank account the money of the unthinkng. The
very secrecy of the appeal is its own condemna-
ton.
1t is amazing to note how slow is the average
newspaper reader to appreciate the value of frank
and open newspaper advertising. Not only in this
way is the housewife enabled to learn what the
market has to offer, but in the frank open adver-
tisement lies an absolute security from exploita-
ton Newspaper advertising is the housewife IS
weekly insurance. The day has passed when the
advertiser dare be dishonest. The statements in
an advertisement shouted from the housetops.
They are too easily checked up. They become the
guarantee of service and OF honest dealing The
direct-by-mail appeal is like the secret whisper
passed from to ear but without any general
publicity that nsures complete honesty of state
ment. AS rule its underlying principle is sinis-
ter. To supplement and become part of any well
organized campaign it has its value, but standing
alone it should arouse suspicion rather than con-
fidence.

MEMORIAL DAY-No public holiday so stirs
the emotional life of the people does Memorial
Day Originally conceived as day which the
graves OF soldiers and sailors of the Civil War
decorated it is day when we honor,
with floral tributes the final resting places of the
heroes of all of our Nations wars.
In cities and towns the schools generally coop
crate with the patriotic societies in the observance
of the day. School children contribute readings,
pageants, and various other dramatic exercises to
the community programs School children decor
ate the graves of the fallen warriors Participation
by the youth in these exercises awakens the high
est ideals OF patriotism 1t not only teaches them
to honor the heroic dead, but inspires them to de-
vote their best efforts to their countrys welfare.
In the thoughts of Lincoln's Gettysburg address
the lesson OF the day is conservation of the living
to the unfinished work of the dead. The individual
who, as child gets this meaning of Memorial
Day can not but prove worthy citizen of the
Republic.

gal holiday in the Southern states

1t is Americas ambition to have the
best. She has already taken from Eu-

greatest operate artists and now she
receives as a loan at least, England's
own poet laureate, DR.. Robert Bridg-
es He comes at the age of nearly SO
years to be a resident artist" at Ann
Arbor for the University of Michigan
during the remainder of the school
year. He is not coming as lecturer,
but his duty is to be accessible to all
the students interested in poetry, CIV
ing counsel and inspiration to those
who seek communion with the muse.
The arrangement under which he
comes is through fellowship in
creative art established two years ago
in the University. Writers, poets, mu-
sicians and painters may be brought
into close touch with the students by
this means, and it is thought the slim
ulation and influence ofthis contact is
beyond estimate.

Fitzgerald Evangelistic
Club Conducts Revival
Meetings At Rebecca

Rebecca, April "a (SpeciaD-Mon-
day night revival services began at
Rebecca conducted by the Fitzgerald
Evangelistic club, with G. A. Jolley,
captain, and his assistants, w. J. Bal
lar, M. M. Stephens, F. M. Grady, c!
H. Smith, D. E. Payne, A. G. Brown
and c. T Owens in the work.
All denominations at Rebecca join
ed heartily, the attendance was fine
and much religious fervor was evil
denced at once.
Tuesday night the following men
were in charge: C. T. Owens, captain
of the team, assistants Wright Tor
renee, J. B. Russell, w. J. Ballard, A.
G. Brown and NJ E. Mathis.
Wednesday night, J. E. Turner cap
tain assisted by c. T. Owens, c. II.
Smith and w. ]. Ballard.
Reports reach us that these are
some of the most spiritual services ever
held in that community, the pastors
there cooperating, but the main work
being done by these captains and their
teams Scripture has been read and
expounded, testimonies and expert
ences stated with most fervent praying
and singing.
All ages in the congregation have
been free to take active part in this
worship and work and it is no un-
common thing for little people, young
people and others of maturer years to
move in the meeting under the in
spiration of the Holy Spirit. Those
not accustomed to talking in meetings
! of the kind have not been able to sit
idle while Gods spirit worked upon
their hearts and the revival is sure
and real.
Probably at no time in the history
OF Our country have men of business
affairs turned as they are at the pres
ent time to- the greatness of all affairs
religious endeavor; and the work
these laymen are doing does not super
cede or in any way interfere with the
pastors work but is proving of the ut
most good to them and their labors.
In times of financial depression like
these today it seems people are will
ling and inclined to turn to God, the
only relief and their only salvation
The spiritual awakening is unusual.

COMMUNITY WORK
PLANNED

There is a movement on foot to in
terest all possible agencies in Fitz-

There is some playground equipment
on each school ground at present that
would be of splendid use to the chill
dren all summer and it would be one
purpose of the work to encourage care
of these and to promote good feeling
and good behavior in play. The Fire
ma1s Park is again available hnd

DID 1T AGAIN

Years ago, the name of Charles
Garland became known far and wide
as that peculiar individual who from
sentimental reasons gave away an in
heritance of $o,00O,O0O from his faith
er, being obsessed by socialistic ideas
that made the individual possession of
wealth repugnant in principle. He
has had such long time to reconsider
and possibly regret his decision of
that time that it comes with new
surprise that more recent bequest
from his grandmother who left an
$4,000 estate is being ignored by him
and also his brother James in Eng
land and the ~trustees and executor
are not little perplered over the dis
position of the legacies. They have
appealed to the courts to let the city
chamberlina of Mt. Kisco, KY, be-
come the custodian of lands and mon
ey and be responsible for their deliv-
cry which promises to be at an in
definite time and to unknown parties,
yet to make demand.

KEEP THE HIGHWAYS CLEAR

KEEP THE HIGHWAYS CLEAR Our highways
should be kept clear and free of noxous signs of various
kinds and characters 1t obvious fact that highways
should be clearly and adequately marked especially those
built under supervision But it is also apparent that
the highways should be clutered I'D with various
markings and signs that tend to confusion and hazards
of the travelling public.
FOR example, some unscrupous vender puts up a
monstrous sign stop" in large letters and sweet cider

To make travel safe and easy the roads should be
absolutely free of all but necessary directions and ex-

SAVE THE WOODS
This is Forest Protection Week and
the fourth annual observance of this
national movement to Prevent forest
fires in the United States. The fact
that so per cent of all forest fires are
the result of human carelessness makes
this phase of patriotic education and
observance the more urgent Eleven
million people visited the wooded ar
eas of our country last year for recre-
ational purpose. showing our present
use while provision for future gener-
ations of a wooded land such as we
enjoy both for their pleasure and their
needs is another sentimental reason.
The part that forests have played as
back ground in our national history
is not to be under estimated The
purely economic question of an ad-
equate timber supply in our own gen.
