THE KNOCKERS ALIBI

There aren't many of them in Bar
bour county. Probably we have no
more than any other county of our
size. But unfortunately we have
few who talk much and do little for
the betterment Of the communities. lt
is not difficult to identify them.
They are the fellows who always
stand aside and kick about the way
the way the other fellow is running
the Civic League, the Kiwanis Club
or any of the other civic organiza-
tions that exist primarily to make this
county better place in which to live.
They are always ready with
sighting remark for those who are
striving honestly and conscientiously
to boost the county. They refuse TO
take an active part in community af-
fairs themselves and say "Oh, what $
the use of trying to work in that or
ganization. 1t is all run by clikue"
If they do go to meeting they al
ways have lot to say,-after 1t Is
adjourned. 'sThis motion passed was
wrong, nothing of Importance was
done, the suggestions made by the
chairman were foolish They com
plain afterward even though they
were absolutely silent while the meet
ing was in session.
It never seems to occur to them
that they might take an active part
in the administration Of the work OF
these organizations. They never
seem to feel that theirs is not a
legitimate excuse for Sinking in the~
community duties.
They never seem to realize that
every civic organization in Barborc
needs more workers and fewer talk
ers. that the men who are running
things and belong to the cliques would
be only too glad to have someone else
step in and help out. These klckers
and knockers never realize that lead
ers of various organizations might
spend the same time they now devote
to the interests of the whole commun-
ity in their own businesses with
greater profits to themselves.
All these facts never seem to enter
the minds of the knockers, simply be-
cause they are too lazy to do anything
for the community and because they
will not admit the truth.

BARBOUR COUNTY HEALTH
ASSOCIATION

The regular meeting of the Barbour
County Health Association was held
in Gains Hall, Thursday evening
February 25th. Pupils from the fifth
and sixth grades, under the direction
of Misses Gall and Stalnaker gave a
very clever little health play after
which the routine business of the
Association was transacted
Mr.. Shaw, the new Chairman, pre-
sided and gave an interesting talk the
aims and hopes of the Association.
Various reports were read and APP
proved and few plans for future
work discussed
It is to be deplored that so few
people take an active interest in the
work of our Health Association, for it
is, of all organizations, outside Of the
Churches and Schools, the one which
should stand first in the mind of every
citizen of Barbour County. Without
health we are helpless, and the only
way to safeguard the future genera
ton, is to teach and care for the Chi
dren of today. Our County Nurse
works untiringly, teaching the nee
essity of cleanliness, advising mothers
administering aid when necessary, in
fact, doing everything she possibly
can to better health conditions
throughout the County. Our Associa-
ton officers are earnest and sincere
in their efforts, conscientious in their
zeal to keep this organization alive
and active, but they are powerless to
accomplish anything unless the public
gives them their cooperation, loyalty
and service.
Let every citizen of the county re-
solve to stand behind the Barbour
County Health Association: attend the
meetings: show your interest by
boosting the Health work and coon
crate with our valuable County Nurse
in every possible way.

duced at least two new diseases to
replace the one cured.
The only possible remedy lies in the
organization of the classes who feel
the burden of supporting this great
mass of non-productive workers. This
applies especially to the farmer. His
lot cannot be bettered through re-
evolutionary change in the entire econ
omic system. His betterment must
come through improvement in the
methods of marketing his produce,
and the farmer himself is the only
man who can accomplish this task.

NON-PRODUCTIvE WORKERS

1t is difficult to draw the line be-
tween essentials and non-essentials.
1t is hard to determine what workers
are gainfully employed and what
ably the farmer, the merchant, and in
dustrial workers contribute to the
general wealth of the world. The
scientist and scholar also adds his
share to the general welfare of the
public by bringing to light useful and
valuable knowledge. The manager of
large industrial organization and
hi soffice staff also perform a useful
function.
But in this country of ours a GER
tain proportion of people are without
question engaged in business pursuits
that add nothing to the general well
fare, pleasure, or happiness of the
people of the nation.
You will find these non-gainful
workers-the parasites-in Wall
Street, New York; LaSalle Street,
Chicago; and in other well known fin
ancial districts of our great cities.
These financial districts make an
imposing impression on the visitor
Great skyscrapers of twenty, thirty
or forty stories in height, filled with
luxurious Offices, face their curbs
During business hours these buildings
and the streets on which they front
are scenes of tremendous activity.
Stenographers and clerks are busy
everywheer-as high as 10000 in a
single building-messen boys dash
madly back and forth; crowds of men
are to be found in Offices reading lat
est grain, cotton, or stock quotations;
and all this energy is devoted quite
largely to mere gambling on future
possibilities.
What can be done about it? Pro-
badly nothing. There are many in
projections in our economic system
that cannot be remedied until more
enlightened race occupies the globe.

THE ELLIOTT BILL

so-called Elliott bill which provida9h
fixed amount for public buildings
throughout the United States to cover
period of five years is a measure
which seems to deserve the sup
port OF Congress at large. There is no
denying that public buildings for the
United States Government are gener
ally distributed like kissing-as ia
vor. Non-essential towns obtain Greek
palaces as postoffices, while county
seats have to content themselves with
a post office in the corner Of the gen
eral grocery store. In the pre-Vol-
stead days, it was known that in Ger
tain cases. at least, public buildings
were secured because of the ability of
the local congressman to mix a cock
tail or buy a good dinner. They were
traded back and forth and votes were
snapped for and against them on most
trivial grounds. Under the BILL log
rolling is eliminated. The Postnast-
er General and the Secretary of the

to aid US in choosing the right ideals.
Then, too, we have had so many
demonstrations of what we consider
right and wrong living. Literature
and history furnish US an abundance
of illustrations Think of Lincoln,
Roosevelt, Wilson, Jane Adams, Su-
sannah Wesley, and many others
that lived to bless the world.
TITS true, many of US cannot &C
complish what they accomplished, but
we are all acquainted with folks who,
because of their right living, have

to see a man who had drowned him

self, to 90 out of the world this way!"
Soon after this experience another
minister and I were in charge Of a
funeral. A laborer, mechanic, had
passed to his reward. He had lived
a faithful, consistent, Christian life.
He had taught Sunday School class
in another church in the morning and
in my church in the afternoon. He
lived in a cottage, just small, COM
fortably neat home. ! shall never
forget the day / saw five or six hum
dred workmen, his former n2ighbors
and friends, file in through the front
door and out through the rear, and
while passing through, pausing and
paying the beloved man homage.
These strong men who had tolled
with him wept as they looked on his
face for the last time. He was not
an educated man in the sense that we
think of education, but in the sight OF
God, he must have been an educated
man. For he was good father, nus
band, neighbor, companion, citizen
and friend. 1t was always easier for
others to be good and do the right
thing when he was around.
What was the secret of his success,
power and influence? 1t was the tact
that he was ever measuring his lie
bv the Perfect Pattern. The inflp-
ence of that Perfect Example made
his life dynamic. They were com
panions, and through his life the
greatest and best companion Tor US
all touched the lives of others. 1t
was through this man that He drew
men unto Himself.
I This age, above everything else,
needs men who make the right choice,
men of spiritual insight, vision and
passion, men of assured relation to
God. men of dynamic power to help
US master our roads, our automobiles.
