When tho earliest violets are peep

He's always there when his note is

Said the business man with a chuckle

Whether his song is harsh or sweet
I'll cheer for him the seasons

nomination should be offered to

it." General Pershing primarily
is soldier, and he made an ex-
cellent record in the World War,
although he had been promoted
over the heads of other general
officers through the political in
fiuence of his father-in-law, SEN
atOr Warren. At all events the
general has given his life to the
military profession; and no
doubt he must realize the mis-
takes that Harrison, Taylor and
Grant made when they allowed
themselves to be drawn into the
White House and away from
familiar, and perhaps more
peaceful fields. General PERISH
ing not only is wise in rejecting
any idea of being a vice-presi-
Dental candidate, but his stand
will win him added respect of
the American people. He has
carved a place in the history of
his country, which would only
be marred by his entrance into
politics. He has won the admi-
ration of his fellow-countrymen
and of the military leaders of
our former allies; and it is well
that he shall retain that admira-
tion and respect and hold un-
sullied a fine reputation, by
standing alOOf from the newt
able uncertainties of a political
career.-Every Evening.

Last week was Cleanup Week
in Smyrna and now all thru the
summer months aIterna t e
Thursdays are set aside to col
lect garbage. Notices giving
these dates have been put in
every home. Cleanup Week is
being widely observed. There is
an appeal to this movement
which finds response. Cleanup
Week has become a national in
stitutiOn, as it should be. 1t is
of much practical benefit. Per-
sons with any sense of civic
pride wish their city to look its
best at all times. But it is hard
to keep from slipping a peg or
two, several pegs. Still, when
citizens are reminded annually
of what their homes and streets
and lawn should be, such re-
minders are sure to create an
impression. And as the years
go by the real results of such
campaigns should be evidenced
in the general daily improve
ment in the habit of being tidy.
Much progress has been made,
and there should be more.
Most towns and cities present
an entirely different appearance
from what they presented not so
many years ago. Then no one
seemed to care particularly how
the city in general, how the
streets in particular looked. The
entrances into said towns and
cities were especially bad. Us
ually places near big railway sta
tions were anything but desir-
able. Indifference has given way
to an improving desire. Live
cities wish their approaches to
be more attractive.
In some Of the towns also an
improvement is noticeable, but it
is slow. Frequently you feel
as if the town should, at public
expense, fix up and paint up the
large number of dilapidated
looking places. Some years ago
they were accepted as a matter
of course, and paint up was more
or less of a novelty.
Some persons, especially in the
cities, have not yet grasped the
idea that the streets should bt
kept scrupulously clean. 1t il
a little trouble to do this ,bu+
what do people in these day pay
high taxes for if not for gooC
city government? Of course
the city with regard to Clean-Ul
can do nothing unless the indi
vidual cooperates. Any mum
cipality is the expression in it
public life and work of the in
dividual citizens. Necessarily
can be nothing more. There
fore Cleanup and everythin
else relating to public life mus
be drilled into the individua
And they should begin at the b.
ginning - with the children
That is the right way in whiC
to get results and to prepare fl
the future.

GIRL FROM KOREA
TALKED TO CLASS
BIBLE TEACHER AT ANDREW
COLLEGE ALSO WAS IN
ATTENDANCE

Much can be said OF the two meet
ings -of the Mission Study Class held
the past week.
The first meeting, held at the home
OF Mrs. w. f. Monts, proved very in
structive to those present The book
being studied by the class is called
Creative Forces in Japan" This book,
while little difficult, is very interest
ing. 1t gives a clear conception OF
conditions in Japan both before and
after the introduction OF Christianity.
The second meeting, on Friday at
the Methodist church, was in reality
a mission study rally Not only the
study class, but every one was invited
to this meeting, and a good sized
crowd was in attendance
The meeting was presided over by
the teacher OF the class, Mrs. Monts,
in her usual efficient manner. Mrs.
Hollingshead. Bible teacher at An
drew college, gave the scripture les
son. which she made very impressive.
A special song, Japan" was render
ed by Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Dismuke.
The lesson, PROBLEMS and Re
sources" was. given by Mrs. Lamar
and Mrs Allen.
The most interesting feature OF the
afternoon, however, was the iptroduc-
ton OF Miss Nina PAX, Korean girl
who is attending Andrew college.
This young girl, in her native dress,
gave a splendid talk in the English
language, and afterwards sung Hap
Ply Day" in the Korean language.

son, But Health Restores Them.


son, But Health Restores Them.
Alter many years OF experimenting
Senator Barsanti, OF Argentina, has ar
rived at the conclusion that Oriental
pearls are animated beings, and that
those which have lost their color and
luster, and for this reason are called
dead, are nothing but diseased
pearls.
Oriental pearls" says Senator Bar
santi in the course of an interview in
the Province Journal. ARE easily in
fected with contagion with any OF the
human diseases, and those most dan
gerous to pearls are the diseases OF
specific character. Mercury is the
greatest enemy OF the pearl.
"A string OF pearls whose wearers
have been subjected to a mercury
treatment is certain to be infected TO
d point where It will turn to the shade
OF lead"
This authority asserts that pearls
whose aspect indicates the beginning
OF disease may usually be restored by
treating them with soft cloth soak
ed in chemically prepared alcohol
This destroys the infectious germ,
provided it has not penetrated farther
than the surface.
He says that when disease has pene-
trated to the very heart or center OF
the pearl it is really dead.
