Water-Tight Compartments

Every one in a while we hear
a man say, Business is bust

a scientist cares only for the
truth, not for it's practical re-
suits, and so on. But the fact
is humanity is not put in wa
ter tight compartments.
Everything you do affects
all parts of your nature.
What you do in business re.
fleets on your art, what you
do in art colors your business,
and what you think in religion
has much to do with your
scientific conclusions. Man
kind is one, one organic whole,
and it's various departments of
activity have merely been list

They do not exist in reality.
If your religion is ugly and
cruel your business will be i'm

If your business is heartless
and indicative your whole life
will show it.
The scientist must pay some
attention to the practical bear

it would be foolish for him to

DANCE AT HOTEL
HERE MEETS WITH
BIG SUCCESS

The dance that was held here
last Saturday night was sue
cess as far as we could tell.
The orchestra from Clinchco
was on hand with some of
their finest selection. Slow,
dreamy waltzes and poppy fox
trots were furnished for the
dancers who at the end of
each dance cheered the orches-

Refreshments were served
and then a guess cake" pass

mad take a guess at some ar
ticle that is secreted within the
cake. The person guessing this
article receives the cake.
There were a number of out
of-town people present which
shows the popularity of a
dance at Clintwood.

For Homeless, Dependent

A campaign to raise funds
for the use of the Children's
Home Society of Virginia is
now on. Citizens of each county
in the state are requested to
contribute as literally as pos
sible to this splendid humata-
rian cause. The Children's
Home Society receives home
less, dependent children and
cares for them until they are
able to care for themselves. It
has saved thousands of worthy
children in Virginia from a
life of shame and worthless
mes and made them honorable
and useful citizen. Several
homeless children from Dick
enson county have been cared
for by the society.
1t is urged that every citi-
zen of Dickinson county aid

are able, both by their influ-
ence and by their financial as
sistance.

eating some perfectly useless
matter.
Business must be beautiful
Art in some way must rest up
on a business basis.
A man cannot have his whole
head submerged in lierature
he must have sense enough tc
market his wares.
The beautiful works of art
of past generations had their
influence upon believers in re-
ligion and religion is what it is
owing to a thousand other
causes within itself.
Much recent art shows con-
tempt for any but aesthetic
values. Such art is transient
and will give place to a great
err art in which beauty of
thought and expression will con
fer enlarged values.
The total of all values is what
counts.
This result can be achieved
not by preaching in art nor by
making science practical" but
by universal education in values
so that artist, business man, OF
scientiest will express himeslt
in synthesis Of all values.

It is no small honor to have a Del
Mar-Va farmer selected as one Of the
twelve leaders in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. Mr..
Bancroft has received an honor justly
due him. He is to be congratulated
not only for what he has achieved IN
his personal success but because he
has thereby directed national atten-

to have him as a member of our Ad-
visory Council, and | trust that the
honor which has come to him will be
but the first of series of nominations
Of Peninsula farmers who are equally
worthy Of a place in the sun"
