With the thermom eter climbing to 100 degrees and above, mortui man can dream or im agine of nothing moro enticing. He does not have to be a young lad either; there is a natural Inclination in tho boy's mind to go swimming and In tho older man there ls fond recol lections of ??he "ole swimmin' hole," down on th^ creek somewhere, the access to which has been closed by tho growth of tho city* r Coming down to the plain truth of tho matter, Anderson needs a swim ming pool and needs one badly. The young people of the city need it. The cause of providing proper amusement and recreation demands lt. Ko ex ercise ls boiler than swimming and nothing can give more pleasure on ? hot day than a dip in the water. Just lo seo a b\mch of youngsters, enjoy ing themselves in the water and splashing about ls almost enough to tempt ono spending money to build a pout it xe had tho funds. Unfortunately Anderson ls so locat ed .that there is no stream of tho propor depth for swimming located In Its vicinity. HeVever, there aro a efw places near tho city where pools might be constructed with a com pnrative small expenditure- of money. - The?e is general sentiment at the present lu favor of building a swim ming pool somewhere in the city, and someone ought, to take up the matter and have lt put into execution. Just where lt should bo located, and the boRt meanB to Bemire lt, will have to bo worked out. There IB no getting around the ques tion that one is needed and that lt ought to be built. PL.UE TO TEACH THRIFT . Tho' schoolhouse IB a good place to teach thrift, but the homo is still a belter place. .It is better, both for the ?reason that lt 1? the, parent's rather than the teacher'j duty, and for the further one that the parent's counsel IB apt fd bo the moro impres sive on the mind of tito child. And there: ls ttlll another reason'ih that thrift is one of the moralities of lower order, and- the home is the sanctuary best suited for Inculcating tho amoralities. . Tho :suggestion that ' "thrift be taught in the schools" la* sound, chief ly for the implication that'ii is m tho youthful mind tho idea munt be planted if it is to take deep root. Thrift, like the vice which ls its op po site, is much a matter of habit. LINE O'DOPE I Weather. Forecast-Generally fair Sunday and Monday.
