HOME TOWNLETS

Let the Dickinson County
Herald ads help put the sine in
advertising.
Be a booster. Clintwood can
never go ahead of It's leaders. Be
upright. A town is no better : han
it's finest citizen.
Let's hold Clintwood's pop
ulatlon- Remember, it's just as
easy for good people to get out
of a wide open town as it is for
others to get into it.
When you work, work! When
you play, playl When you sleep,
Slumber! When you eat chew!
But when you drink, BE CARE
Full!
Sir Walter Raleigh laid down
his coat for a woman. Nowadays
we men folks have to lay out our
trousers for our wives.

If you only knew the truth, she's
still living in her youth,
There are always lutte sparks
that age can't smother.
When home trouble comes along
and the world seem gone dead
wrong,
Have some faith--some little trust
in your dear mother;
You'll find roses at your feet, life
is never quite so sweet,
If you tell HER first, before you
tell some other
When you've got some love to
spare, and you give away a
share,
Give little just a little-a for
mother;
You'll get true love in return,
more than you can earn,
From your your mother, and
you'll never have another,
MOTHER.

new POST OFFICE
BUILDING FOR OUR TOWN

We all know that it takes time
to do things, but this paper thinks
that it is high time our good citi-
zens and patrons of Clintwood
Post Office were beginning to a
waken to the TACT that our pres
ent quarters for the post Office at
this place, are discredit to our
town, and should begin 70 see if
there is a remedy for the existing
situation.
The present room in which the
Office is conducted, is too small
for the first-class mail, much less
the parcel post and collect on de-
livery mail, and there is no way
to improve this situation, except
by a new building. We all know
that at times, it is impossible to
enter the lobby for your mail, on
account of there not being room
enough to accommodate more
than a dozen people comfortably
at ona time, and no one wants to
be stuffed into a sardine can alive,
just for the sake of getting few
dun bills"
We sometimes hear some COM
planning about the mail service
here and indicating, AS if the post
mistress was at fault, but we beg
to differ with this opion, and will
say that we have no right to fault
our postmistress for something
that she certainly cannot help.
We feel that the service is all that
we could expect under the exist
ing circumstances and that if we
want better service, the thing to
do is all get busy and ,get Mrs.
Damron a decent place to conduct
the business of post office, and
then we will guarantee you the
service that you are entitled.
We must compliment Mrs.
Damron, for the patience and
faithfulness in which she per-
forms her duties as postmistress
and further say, that we are more
than anxious to see her establish.
ed in better quarters
We have been informed that
there has been submitted to the
Post Office Department, propo'
sition for the erection of a new
building to be used as Postofice
Let us all hope that this meets
with the approval of the Depart
ment, and that the building is e.
rected at once, then with the new
building and fixtures, coupled with
the efficient service of Mrs. Dam
ron as postmistress, we can boast

Institute of Politics Hears Situa-

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 25 P' A United States of China, with regional rather than provincial di- visions, will emerge from the pres ent revolutionary condition there in the opinion of Prof. Harold s. Quigley of the University of Minne- sota as expressed at the Institute of Politics today.
 Discussing the eventuality, Prof. Quigley, who taught at Tsing Hua college, Picking, in 1921, declared that the state of unconscious feder alton now eXtant in China is tend ing toward a true confederation where common interests may be pooled in a federal entity.
 Dr. Stanley K. Hornbeck, of Harvard university, asserted that the thing most needed between China and the powers today is a greater determination to be patient and helpful on the part of both Of the treaty powers toward China and of Chinas protagonists toward the treaty powers. Interest must be taken in the Chinese, not as bizarre phenomena, he said, but as great group of human beings go- ing through a remarkable period of political growth.
