??'* ' I inn ? 4 HINT* FOR YOUNG MEN. 4 I 4 Exchange. A successful manufacturer hac said: "If you make a good pin you will earn more money than if you built a bad steam engine." No matter what your undertaking is or what you do stamp that work with the very best that Is In you and let one hundred per cent, efficiency be your trade-mark. So many young men seek employment and say they can do almost anything. The progressive business man 10 nui iuuhiuk ior me cnap who can "almost" do a thing. They want the boy who can deliver the punch. A gallon of determination is worth a bushel of indifference. "Do it to a finish" should be the motto of every aspiring young man. The world is not looking for second-class young men. Be thorough and exacting in what you do. Never let go a Job until you know It is right. * Thousands of young men get i stait, but they never go very far. L Then they can't understand why they don't get along. They haven't a the stamina to grip the lever. The first blister scares them. You have got to have bull-dog tenacity. Swing to your job for all It is worth. Don't let Bill do the work. If you are a clerk, be the best clerk In town. No matter what your occupation is, excel the other fellow. The young man who haR a job and commences to slacken his pace and puts off till tomorrow what should l>e done today is fast seating himself on the greasy plank which leads to the straight chute of "getting fired." When you least except it, the man higher up has his eye focused on you. Just because you keep late hours the night before and get up too late to eet vntir or>a change your shirt and brush your shoes is oftentimes an entering wedge for your ultimate downfall. If you do good work you must keep in good condition. Keep clean Inside and outside and you will do good work. Never be satisfied to say your work is "pretty good." Make it the beat, from the smallest detail. You have seen a man go to a store and buy a ready-made suit of clothes ami take it home and get his wife to sew on the buttons before wearing T it. Young man, that suit of clothes was never made right. Beware?don't let anyone ever or n OIK UUVlUlia UCU1IIU yOU, il IIU yOll will get along. Remember, young man, the shells you will find on the shore, but the pearls you must dive for. What Mothers Need to Know in July. In the Better Baby department of (he July Woman's Home Companion appears the following "Mother Calendar" for July: I. "Keep the babies cool, inside and oat. Have clothing loose and light. The child two years or more needs nothing but sandals and rompers, with a thin knitted shirt, lownecked I OTwl I# ' - - * aim niccicifoo, ii mere is a tenaency to bowel trouble. II. ^'Babies require only knitted belly bands, shirt and diaper, with a plain slip if desired. For cool nights and mornings, add light-weight klmona, nightdress or sacque of Shaker or outing flannel. III. "On very hot days give baby a cleansing bath in the morning, a cooling bath before bed time. When baby is feverish, eight ounces of alcohol may be added to one quart of warm water and used as a sponge bath. IV. "When the baby suffers from prickly heat do not use soap, but put a cup of bran meal in a cheesecloth bag and stir this in the bath water until the water takes a rriilky hue. V. "Never expose th?? oaby to the sun In hot weather. If protected from the files by mosquito netting the baby may take an outdoor nap In the shade of the porch or tree." Quid* for Dally Llf*. "Know what you want to do. hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer the goal." Constipation Causes Most Ills.

The educational leaders of the state have undertaken the task of wiping out the illiteracy of the state. | , and signalizing the beginning of such a campaign, the department of edu! cation issues the first bulletin on , moonlight schools. This bulletin sets , forth the facts that confront us in the state, and submits a plan which will , be undertaken this fall?the purpose I of which is to teach the adult lllit- ' i erates to read and write without de- j , lay. The plan, .briefly, is to call for . i volunteer teachers who will conduct 1 ; , school at least one month during the ! year. The forces of the state will ,' be organized in committees similar to that which generated the Community Service movement of last year. The county and local committees formed last year will be asked to serve again and will be communtcat- . ed with through the county superin- | ; tendent of schools. In counties where committees did not serve lp.st fall the committees will consist of the county ! superintendent, the farm demonstration agent, the secretary or president of the county Farmers* Union, editors of the county papers, mayor of the county seat, member representing the Junior Order United American Me I chanlcs, and one representing the ; Women's Clubs. Pledge cards for teachers will be distributed through the Teachers' Institute during the 3ummer. Superintendent Joyner is desperately in earnest. He outlined his plan in detail to the North Carolina Press Association at Montreat, and ! has secured the co-operation of the press of the state, and as he said, he can always depend on the teachers, i so with a general support and cooperation the department hopes to see this great work through. If we but realize the extent of adult illiteracy in the state and de- 1 termine that it shall be wiped out, I the result will not only be of great I | credit to the present generation, but 1 j will prepare the way for a greater : prosperity for our beloved state. M I I I I I I I I I I I I t I I I I I I I I I M ( A CALL TO SOUTHERN WOMEN* I* i Progressive Farmer. Do you realize that we of the South i are at the crisis? I hear you say: In i what way. Why? , Our finances are threatened, our farmers are troubled over their cotton crop. Cotton is the South's es: pecial gift from God, and if every southern woman will resolve to purchase none but cotton clothes from now on just think what it will do for the South! There is not a woman in I the South that this low price of cotj ton will not touch, but of course it will come closer to some than to i ; others?some slightly, some only in I depriving them of luxuries. Some it , will cause to be without absolute ! necessities, and now is the time, dear j women, one and all, for you to prove your mettle and your love for the dear old Southland. Not only should we pledge ourselves to loyalty In this way, but the j j time is ripe for the women of the | United States to free themselves from foreign fashions bondage. The craze !-for fashion and style is a curse to I the sex. We as a race are proud of our coun 1 try and boast of being free-born American citizens, when all the while every woman who can manage to get the money is spending hundreds and i hundreds of dollars aping those nonsensical French who, by their participation in this war, have proved themselves fit only for such frivolous affairs as fashion. I)o you realize your money is gone when you thus spend? You stand a vcijr nijiuii ciianci; ui ever namiung a penny again. While if spent for our own products in our own country in the course of evolution you may handle it many times and have the assurance that it is always in the hands of your countrymen. Americans generally boast of their originality and it is the charm of her women. Prove it, women, by designing and making your own c'othes and you Southern women for the time by your loyalty to our own fleecy cotton. Our climate is not so severe but we can wear cotton clothes the year round. Our mills are turning out cloth of all kinds suitable for all purposes, and what more fitting than | fhan for us to create a demand for our own produce? Our Heavenly Father promises us a robe of white | in the hereafter; conditionally, as you know. By using white or colors as we choose, we free ourselves from this idiotic slavery. Who will be the first to prove her loyalty and patriotism by -esolving from now on until the price of cotton Justifies to purchase none but cotton clothes.

' TTCTVVV* WWWtttttttTtttfttt Ii: this rather imperfect world, where all are selfish and all rather thoughtless, next door neighbors who live at peace and without an undercurrent of hostility are as rare as jewels in garbage cans. Even nations living close together and suffering the consequent friction are more disposed to quarrel and inclined to quarrel on smaller pretext than those separated by a happy ex- 1 tent of water or convenient chains ? of mountains. 1 In town, where dwellings are 1 crowded close and where intimacies 1 are almost a necessity, all families sufTer annoyances. Property rights ' and property lines may be clearly defined, but personal rights are more j elastic and are subject to interpreta tlons wide apart. And yet if each of us was big i enough to look at both sides of the 1 question when friction comes, there ould be little occasion for bitterness. If your chickens scratch up my garden, I should reflect, before complaining, that my chickens probably trample your flower beds. The art of being a neighbor requires training in humility and | kindness of heart. If you and I are , contentious, ill-natured, jealous, we cannot dwell together in peace. If we are all of this and vot ?*<? t inslstincis of gentlefolk we will live J in outward appearance of peace and will be coldly courteous one to an- , f other, but each will correctly inter- 8 pret the thought of the other's heart l and there will be hatred between u?\ j r So far as I know there is but one < influence that will constrain us to t overlook annoyances, live without ! 1 offence or dissimulation, and be both 8 outwardly and inwardly forbearing f and kind. Birth, training, pride?all these or any one of these will prevent an open rupture. But only conversion j t to Jesus of Nazareth, and a literal ? and absolute faith and nrnMUa n.t doctrine of love will enable one of us to live in perfect harmony along- f side another. ?Fountain Inn Tri- 1 bune. i 1 i , Henry W. CJrudy's Trilmte to King ' Cotton. * I What a royal plant it is! The 8 world waits in attendance on its t growth. The showers that fall whispering on its leaves are heard around * the earth. The sun that shines upon * it is tempered by the prayers of all T the people. The frosts that kill it * and the dew that descends from the stars are noted. The trespass of the ; little green worm upon its leaf means more to England and to English homes than the advance of a Rus- , sian army upon her Asian frontier. ; It is gold from the time it puts forth its tiniest shoot. Its foliage j decks the somber earth in emerald sheen. Its blossoms reflect the bril- ; liant hues of sunset skies in Southern climes and puts to shame the lovliest rose; and when loosening its snowy fleece to the sun, it floats a banner that glorifies the field of the humble farmer; that man is marshalled under a flag that will compel the alle- n glance of the world and wring a < NV tribute from every nation of the xv earth. Its fibre is current in every bank a in all the world. Its oil adds luxury to lordly banquets in noble halls and brings comfort to lowly homes in f< every clime.

'OSSIBLE CAUSE OF DISTRESS V ft Tommy'* Guess as to Alexander's Spell of Weeping Showed Ha T Had Imagination. | ti ! a: The teacher was telling his class w ihout the conquest of Alexander the 1 n 3reat. He tnade the tale a stirring fj >ne, and at last reached the conquest >f India. Wishing to impress the chil- c Iren, he said: "When Alevander had ! " *~nq*iered India, what do you think he ,r ' Do you think he gave a great r< 'east to celebrate his triumph? No; i le sat down and wept!" i w The children seemed to be a little | ^ jisuppointed at this childish exhlbi- i tion on the part of the hero; so the 1 teacher continued: "Now, why do ? rou think Alexander wept?" he asked. ' ? Up went a little nand; but when its P jwner saw it was the only one in idew, he hurriedly withdrew it. tl "Come on now. Tommy," said the jj teacher in his most persuasive voice, 'why do you think Alexander wept?" "Please, sir," said Tommy hesltat- 01 ngly, "perhaps he didn't know the C( vay back!" a When Criticizing. 1 Many an unpleasant thing needs to f >e done in a pleasant way. Teachers, md parents, and people in business ife who are responsible for the work 'c >f others must from time to time J' ipeak in criticism or point out how an 1 mprovement can be mnde in the way j ^ >f doing things Such a word of 'riticism, or correction, or of sug-1 jested improvement can have the ef-1 ect of being either a shove down or i lift up. It can come to the one ad-! ^ Iressed as a slap in the face, or as a learty grip of the hand. The word : an be spoken with a disarming smile >f reassurance, or a hard and discoursing look of condemnation. And the 1 leartening, lifting, smiling word of ad- j nonition or suggestion brings a hunlred per cent better response than he otber sort; it gets the very results hat we are after, while the word that intagonlzes is liable to defeat the vhole thing. Love is a paying propisition; ut love is a dead loss. The Beast of Burden. Professor Ward, social secretary of he Methodist Episcopal church, in an iuure?8 id inaianapons on "The Donand for Leisure," Bald: "Working hours should be judged rom the standpoint of fatigue. Staistics prove that the highest mortalty rate is invariably in the Indusrial sections because the rest of these vorkers is not commensurate with heir duties. A shorter workday is an iconomic benefit to all. It means more nen, more machinery, higher standirds, increased demands, more producion and the expansion of Industries.

When he 'eaches that stage he loses identitv lb a man, husband and father and be:omeB the beas* of burden." Bayberry Shrub.
