EN- E RGY

Energy is a factor in everything,
particularly in success.
Men of great ability often fail to
make progress because they lack en-
ergy. In plain words, they are lazy.
Laziness is not always voluntary.
1t may be caused by chronic disease,
improper diet, or bad heredity.
A man of great natural energy is
a self-starter, whereas a man of low
energy has to be kicked into action.
He may have ambition, vision, and
keen perception, but he lacks an in
ner drive. Usually he knows that
he should reform, but he seldom
does.
Do not scold your children if they
exhaust you with constant bouncing
in and out of the house. If they have
energy they are lucky and you are
lucky. Pray that they may develop
intelligence. The combination will
make them successful in whatever
they undertake-Wm. Feather.

MEN TO BRING
STATE OUT OF THE MUD
South Carolina Expects to Complete
Highway System Within Few
Years
Bv E. r Duffy


Miracle men is the term that can
well be applied modern highway
builders.
South Carolina, which recently ap-
proved highway bond issue of
SOS, 100000, expects to complete her
state highway system within the
next three and half or four years.
This means that in that time some
1000 miles of hard surfaced roads
will have been built and that 1.5OO
miles will be otherwise improved.
This amazing aspiration is held
forth by c. E. Jones, chairman of the
State Highway Commission. The
bond issue is now before the state
supreme court for official sanction.
The South Carolina bond issue,
which in effect marshals a small
part of that states actual and poten-
tial resources for immediate use,
will enable the state to introduce
mass production into roads. Obvious
ly roads can be purchaser cheaper
in large quantities. South Carolina
expects to let contracts for lengthy
mileages to builders equipped with
the most efficient machinery.
To travellers who have found
themselves in South Carolina during
the wet months, the statement that
South Cardinals state highway sys-
tenn will be so improved within a
short period, may seem a bit en-
thusiastic. However, in this day and
age, mass production of roads may
be accomplished as easily as the
making of enormous quantities of
rubber tires.
Modern highway builders, with
their gigantic paving mixers and mo-
torized equipment, now lay pave
ments with the ease of laying car
pets. One paving outfit may place as
much as a thousand feet of pave
ment in a day without anyone get
ting unduly excited. Yet it is this
knack of getting the pavement down
quickly that foretells the eventual
smooth paving of all well travelled
routes.
Illinois, North Carolina and other
states have built their roads very
rapidly under the bond issue meth
cd. Last year Illinois set a new
high record for highway construc-
ton through the completion of 1,34O
miles of concrete, most of which was
laid through bond issue financing. A
little reflection on that construction
achievement brings the realization
that highway builders are in step
with modern private business.
The early usage of the backbone
highways in South Carolina will
bring returns that will far more than
) offset the interest on the bonds. That
} states chief method of obtaining
highway income is the gas tax which
: was recently raised to cents gal
, lon. According to Mr.. Jones, the
mud roads prevalent in South Caro-
: lima during several months of the
year collect a much greater tax than
6 cents a gallon. He asserts that
when the new paved highways are
opened to travel the increased bust
ness and pleasure utility of the high
ways and the lessened car operating
costs and maintenance costs of the
: roads will show decided profit for
/ the state.

An Inexpensive Blackboard

Blackboards of any size are usu-
ally quite expensive but one woman
found a way to make one that costs
less than rs cents. She bought an
inexpensive dark green window
shade and a can of fiat black paint.
Two coats of the paint were applied
to the shade, which when dry be-
came a blackboard that could be
rolled up out of the way when not
in use.

FACTS THAT ARE VALUABLE
FOR ALL TO KNOW
Before Laying LinOIeum

Before the linoleum is laid, the
wrong side of it should be var
nished and then laid over a layer
of thick brown paper. This will in
sure damp-proof floor and will, at
the same time, make the linoleum
wear much longer.

Old Books

Books that are worn and yet are
not to be thrown away, can be lac

Even though the backs need to be
repaired with cloth they can be gone

Make Your Own Picture Frames

With a piece of leftover wallboard
you can make very nice frame for
one of those attractive colored prints
you have admired in the magazines.
First, the wall board should be
cut to the desired size. Then with
a string and pencil, working from
the exact center of the piece of wall
board, carefully mark the edge to
be cut for the inner edge of the
frame. Remove this part by means
of keyhole saw. The rough edges
can be smoothed down with a piece
of sandpaper. The frame should
then be painted and decorated, and
when dry the print is pasted on the
back. A coat of shellac over all
will mellow the finish and insure
the prints adhesion.

EAST REFUSES THE SILVER DOLLAR

Eastern papers chronicle the failure of Secretary Melons efforts to extensive of the silver dollars, by the people in lieu of currency Sev eral plans of getting silver dollars into circua- ton tried out One of them to pay out at least silver dollar to each Government employee every pay day. It found that the big dollars quickly found their way to the banks and then to the treasury. The people did n9s want them They preferred the one dollar bills
 This leads the Cincinnati Enquirer to say:
 As matter of fact, the silver dollar
 serves useful purpose in monetary
 system whatever This, along with the plain
 ly indicated dislike of the money carrying
 public for it, should be sufficient to condemn
 this great American nuisance to that limbo
 where are hidden the mammoth and the
 mansion the hustle and sde-whiskers.
 All of which means that it is largely matter of habit On the Pacific Coast the people do not like the one dollar bills well they like the silver cartwheels. Dealers say that when they pay one dollar bills in making change the customers usually ask if they have silver
 The Pacific Coast people have always preferred coin to currency It only the stress of war that induced them to give up gold for paper They would probably welcome return of the five, ten and twenty dollar gold pieces to go with their silver

MEXICO AT IT AGAIN.

Of course it IS Tco soon to make an intelligent guess as to how formidable this last Mexican rebel lion will turn out, but the news dispatches would indicate that it may be a rather serious affair The revolt seems to be in several sections, widely sep arated The circumstance that it includes parts of the regular army would indicate probability that it is better supplied with arms and ammunition and supplies than many of it's predecessors.
 It is possible that the will bring home to Mexicans further realization of the terrific loss they suffered in the death of Gen. Obregon Gales has a very efficient military record, but in Mex ico since Diaz has approached Obregon in military skill and abiyor in anything else that counts for leadership Obregon born soldier and years of successful experience finished his natural instincts into an art. He is one of the few Generals in his tory that never lost battle, and he fought scores of battles.
 Not only was Obregon a great soldier and leader but he possessed the confidence and love of the people to a greater extent than either Gales ol Gil. If he had lived and been inaugurated Presi- dent, the present revolution probably never would have occurred.
