Your Actual Value

Should anyone have any doubt of
your actual value don't let him ana
lyze you in terms of the chemist, or
people will discover you're not such a
"big shot as you think"
No matter how limited the mental
faculties, carcass Of $50 pounds, in
the words of the chemist, contains
just enough fat for seven cakes of
soap, carbon for 5000 pencils, phos-
phorous to make about 1000 match
heads, magnesium for one dose of
salts, iron to make on medium sized
nail, sufficient lime that would just
white-wash a chicken coop, enough
sulphur to rid one toy dog of f1eas and
just enough water to fill five gallon
can. That's YOU reduced to your
actual value.

North Cardinals libel laws seem
reasonable enough, as it is said that
a newspaper may clear itself Of liza
bliity if he retracts offending state
ments within a reasonable time. But
it appears that in case which has
recently arisen retraction would
only make matters worse.
Commenting on the candidacy OF
F. D. Grist for the United States
Senate, the Greensboro News said the
gentleman would make ian elegant
dog-catcher." Mr.. Grist demanded a
retraction of the statement which was
highly offensive to him.
The editor seemed willing to do the
right thing, but pointed out that re-
traction would imply that the gentle
man would not make an elegant dog,
catcher; in other words, was not fit
to be a dog-catcher. And the News
admits that there is nothing what
ever in the public record of this dis
tinguished citizen that would warrant
such a conclusion"
So, at last report the News was
standing by its original statement
refusing to retact, and declaring at
will stand a lawsuit first"

Lake tower last Sunday afternoon
