Hot weather watering stations for y the 100,000 horses in New York have been opened by the New YorK women's League for Animals. A half million pails of water were given last year ac these stations to tired and thirsty work horses. The best known ^station is in front of tf:e animal hospital at Lafayette and Bond streets, "where, in the hot days of midsumj^jnaer, 2,000 horses are watered. The water is taken from the hydrants, and there is a liberal supply of pails, so that the drivers need not lose any time. A woman member of league is assigned to each station. Sponges are provided with which to l^cool overheated horses, and summer j&ridles and bits are distributed free o drivers needing them. Two thou sand bridles were given away last year. The women have prepared leaflets on ithe care of animals, including "hot weather rules" for drivers, which are distributed daily at the water stations. - Counting a Quorum. *sHow many children have you?"

' S\ /?Y /Ss 4 /i f t ^ 4 ^ <SN j & <fc <S> THE IDLER <$> j<?> <$> <i $> <?><$> $> $> $'-'?> e <?> -y i While every one in Newberry is enjoying the opening of the park, and ; we are going to Lave a booster chau tonmio a-opi* hp?innin2 nexi Wednes i day, I wish I could get all the people I in this town and county to apply the I words, and better still the sentiment, of a little poem I read some good while , ago, and possibly I have heretofore | printed i>: in this column, but even v ough I have it will bear repeating. It was a greeting from Winnepeg to some national association that was meeting in that city and was entitled "That's Where the West Begins." The | occasion was a get<o-gether and get'flfonainted entertainment and band ' concert tendered by the Winnepeg real estate exchange to delegates of the na-J | tional association' of real estate ex! changes. It is said that the author ' is not known. What a pity that we j should not even know the name of the 1 man or the woman who could write | such sweet and beautiful sentiment. ; Let's apply it to Newberry town and county. It would do all of us good to apply it individually. Just to think (t'.at wc cculd make Xewberrv the place described by the little poem as that's w';ere the west begins, and we i could if we would, and it would be so i easy and so much better that we would , wonder why this had not been such a place long ago. A little w:ile ago! ' some kind friend sent me a paper from ' a far off State and marked a little poem, "It's you and not the town," but I don't think it was intended as personal to me, but in is true that it ; is the people who make the community land the community is what they I ! choose to make it. Let us make this community the place described as that's where the west begine, and we can if we will. Out where the hand clasps a little stronger, j jOut where the smile dwells a little longer, That's w1- ere the 'West begins. I * j Out where the sun's a little brighter, Where the snow that falls is a trifle whiter, Where ?,':e bonds of home are a wee bit tighter, That's where the West begins. I j Out where the skies are a trifle bluer, Out where friendship's a little truer, ; Out w: ere everything is newer, That's where the West begins. f i i Out where a fresher breeze is blowing. Where there's laughter in , every &:re2m!et flowing, Where there's more of reaping and I less of sowing, That's where the West begins. i Out where the West is in the making, Where fewer hearts wit'n despair are aching. Where there's more of giving and less | of taking, That's where the West begins. ' i i Where fere's more of singing and less of sighing, Where there's Jhore of giving and less of buying, i And where a man makes friends without half trying? That's where t'iie West begins. i Now, my dear reader, this is not an ! ideal land impossible of attainment. It all depends upon you. Why shouldn't ! we have more of singing and less of sighing, and why shouldn't we make | friends wit'-out half trying. Why I shouldn't there be fewer hearts with j despair acting. Why shouldn't there ! be more of giving and less of taking, j ; The old greedy and selfish' nature needs to be controlled and made better. It is all because we don't half , try to reach that uncharted isle where i I j ' Fair lies the land, beheld in dreams, j i I Where roaring guns are never heard,: .And where the hearts of human kind i By lethal hate are never stirred; j Where right prevails above the j wrong, And all men strive with purpose high To make of life a grand sweet song, j A little self-examinatioil and then a little effort to think of the other fel- j low and what he has and his rights ! I , and happiness, and not so much or j ! your old self. It is something like what j 11 heard Dr. Pendleton Jones say in aj | sermon some months ago, when the | | president asked all the churches to I held peace services and for the minis j t^rs to preach" peace sermons. Dr. J i Jones said that there could be no ; peace until the individual got rigbtj eousness in his heart and all the peace preaeniDg was a mere rarce, until tne t:r.e individual got righteousness in his heart. There could be no peace otherwise and war would go on from time to time. What we need here in Newbeiry is to get the individual right aid then we will h&ve t&e gemmunify right, for don't forge: that the individuals make the community. But what i was after and trying to impress is that at this time of t e park opening and the boos- er Chautauqua week we shot id all make this in reality the place where the west begins, as aesciibed in t1 at. little poem quoted i ??LU ? C. JI is icit IU ra.v,ii iiiuiuuuoi i [o do his and her part. ?o? Xo\\ then, with this preachment and gccd a:hice, for which I make no c arge, just as I did in my episde to the heathen, I am going to close by telling you of the good influence of the sunshinv man. Listen, read: * ; TIia Wiaficlnn^ VliTl 1 lie OIIII^IIIIIV. Did y'ever hear about th' funny, sunny Sunshine Man? He's got a heart! that's bigger than yer gran'ma's j [ warmin' pan, a head that's like it's i : all on fire, 'n feet that's made of gold!

' ?o? And remember that there is an old) but true saying that, "Happiness is a perfume you can not pour on others j without getting a few drops on your- j self. The point in c:is is that you ; can not be happy unless you make! others happy. It is a perfume that when you pour it on others, it spreads its sweetness to you, and not otherwise. THE IDLER. ^ <$> <?> A?OUSCEME>T. <$> <3> ! ! The Bachelor Maids club of New-i berry are making an effort to secure a fund sufficient to meet the expense of a community nurse for the town for a peroid of six months. The work of a community nurse is not an experi- ] ment, but nas proven in hundreds of towns and cities a practical value from a health and sanitary view point that can not be estimated. The work the Bac.elor Maids have done in the town has been done with the constant: realization of tne need of such expert! service and has been greatly handi-; capped by the lack of the assistance of a trained nurse in the community. In making this effort to meet tr.'.e expense of a trained nurse for com-4 munity service the Bachelor Maids think that during the first six montlft the value of such work will be so clearly and emphatically demonstrated that the necessary money for toe permanent support of the work will be gladly contributed in a systematic way by the various organipations and the, public spirited citizens of the town. Tne duties in detail or tne nurse can not be described in so limited a space. She is what the name implies?a Com-; munity Xurse. She is not expected to j take permanent cLarge of any case of. protracted illness, but it is her duty I to answer all emergency calls from i any home in town and render expert Service whenever and wherever needed. She is a visiting nurse. She goes from home to home where there is illness and instructs and assists those f omes in the care of their sick ones. It is her duty to keep in daily communication with the cases where her j services are most needed and to seen : opportunities for her work, always j with actual direction and assistance as a trained nurse, and with a view; to improvement in health and sanitary j conditions in the ::ome and community, i The value of such service to the com-' munity can not be overestimated. It' is proposed that the services will not j be denied any home within a reason- j able distance outside the town when transportation is furnished. To employ an efficient trained nurse competent to demonstrate t' e value of j such work will cost approximately j 3450 for the six months. The Bachelor Maids club has ap-1 X* pointed a committee to mane an active effort to secure the necessary money j to cover the expense for the first sixmonths and through the courtesy of the newspapers make this public an- j nouncement with the hope that every citizen in the town will realize the im-, portance of the work and make some I contribution. . j Contributions will be received at t'ne offices of The Herald and News and i The Observer, or by any member of THE BACHELOR MAIDS CLUB.

THE SOUTH'S COTTOS. Greenville Piedmont. Our local morning contemporary says: "The Soutjj with its cotton is the unfortunate soat of conditions, to a certain extent, but this can not well i be a.oided." The South is worse than a goat?it is the hewer of wood and drawer of water to the balance of the; nation. When t1 e Republicans control I the national government, they say: I "There is no use doing anything for' the South, because it will remain Dem-! ocratic regardless of what we may do for it." And when there is a national Democratic administration, which j comes into existence only through the j loyal support of the solid South, it disregards this section because it knows no matter how it may be slighted it will turn up smllling in the next presidential election with unbroken j support of tf:e Democratic nominee. Washington seems absolutely indifferent as to what happens to the South's cotton so long as the wheat of thp West and thA munitions of war manufactured in the North and East can find sale at f:igh prices in Europe. Senator Hoke Smith's presentation of this subject is unanswered because unanswerable. It has been ignored, but that does not make it any the less true. If other Southern senators and representatives should range themselves by his side and speak out as openly and fearlessly, something migT.t be accomplished. If we drift on as we are drifting and have been drifting, the weight ol the new crop of cotton superimposed upon tiie millions of bales of the 1914 crop carried over will sag the price of the fleecy staple to lower levels than were readied last fall. Again we quote from our local morning contemporary: "What do these people who dissertate so learnedly concerning the flagrant violations of .neutrality, and the infringement upon our rights by Great Britain, think of the administration at Washington? Certainly men of the intellect, courage I and information possessod by t'-e pres-i ident and his secretary of state! would not sit quiet if one-third of the! alleged mal-practices were actually! being pefpetrated. If the law of na- \ tions were being violated dv the allies,! Washington would speak, just as< Washington spoke to Germany." The president and the secretary of j state did not "sit quiet" and we accept as proof of the "alleged malpractices" the protests tl:ey have made to England and her allies against them. Washington did "speak," but not "just as Washington spoke to Germany." Had it spoken to England and her allies as it spoke to Germany their "alleged malpractices"?alleged by our president and secretary of state? would have been stopped. Not only that, but their stoppage would have so cl anged Germany's conduct as to have removed our cause of complaint against that country. If before this year's crop comes on i the market, the ports of Europe are - ---- opened to couon as our presiucm &nu secretary of state have said they ought to be if we obtain our rights under international lav.-, the price of cotton /Will go considerably above ten?possibly above fifteen?cents a pound. If the present status continues, a verj low prfc? of cotton may be expected, j Electric-Chair Apparatus For Flesh Reduction.

All the old soldiers will he seated at a separate table and special attention given them during the noon hour. We urge all wishing to attend will be present by 10 o'clock in order that the program may be completed by noon and the afternoon will be given for social enjoyment and ball game. All business places in Pomaria 1 will be asked to close during the hours of tfne exercises. At 4:30 o'clock you may expect a fast ajpd interesting base ball game between Pomaria and Hunter-DeWalt. This will be the third time that Po-' maria and Hunter-DeWalt have crossed bats for the season. Both games | formerly played between these two teams were considered very interesting and close, with the final result of the winning scores going to Hunter I uewait. we congratulate DOt?n tnese teams for the excellent playing which has been done by them this season, especially that of Huncer-DeWalt, which has been su successful in winning f:e first year of their playing. We find it quite a task to secure a complete list of all the old soldiers in 'the county, but we have been able to locate about 60 in number. If there be any that have not received a special invitation we want it distinctly understood that we just failed to get I your name, and that you have a special invitation also, just so you are an j i old soldier.
