Men of the town who have the means should do something to build catyip hmiQos in tliis: +r?wr? cn flint- flio people may have a place in which to live who desire to come to Newberry. This is a good time to start a real building and loan association. One ^ that will help cl: young people who are just setting up homes of their own to buy and own their home. They say it does not pay to build houses for rent, but it should be remembered that the price of rent has increased along with everything else, ana then people should not be hindered from coming to town to make j , their h9mes by not being able to get a place in which to live.. But we are a .strong believer in every man, when j ~ he ^assumes the responsibility of a family, huying 1 "s home even if he is not able to 7 all the purchase price in cash. It makes him feel beti. t^rx to be even nominally the owner V * of his home, and it gives him an inL centive to save and pay for it, and the monev he is navinc rent can be , counted on the purchase price. We have heard good men argue that it does not pay to own your own home, hat it is cheaper to rent. It may figure out that way on paper, but it ?s not true. It is like raising all cot ton to buy your own supplies. It figures out on paper that it pays, but in actual experience it is a delusion -and a snare. It won't work. It makes a better citizen of the best of us, this feeling that you are living in your own home. ? Rent money is <4 always hard money to pay. Let' some enterprising business man get behind a movement for the organization of a real building and -loan association, and help honest hard working young **men, and old ones too for that matter, to buy and own their own home. It would be a great thing for the advancement and development of the community, and would help many a hard working and struggling young man to become a better citizen and own his own home. Count the character and the honesty of the man as a part of the asset, and it will encourage him to save and have something and be a per-1 X ' manent and useful citizen of the community. And it will pay the men a good return on the money they put in the organization directly and ' indirectly. Try it. There is a fine T". field right here for a great service to tt^community and to your fellow, man. r. I-. . v f v . ' Tlugj?yements around the Central Methodist church lot will add greatly to the improvement of the streets as i ?a?< * xi. _ _i i wen as ine property 01 wie caurcu. | The work will soon be finished. We understand that Mr. Jos. Mann has agreed to widen the street in front of his residence, and the paved sidewalk will extend to Boundary > rTHE NORTHERN S' Vt xm ?

That will also be a great imj provement. While they are at it the city coun; cil should extend the paved sidewalk I along by Mr. Klettner's lot, on to ;the residence of Mr.'Z. F. Wright, i and the sidewalk on either side of the : street should be paved. Now is the ! time to do the work while the force i is at it, and it will take less time and . nncf loee fVion frt mnItp nnnt.ViPr st.nrf. , | And then, too, this street should ! be paved all the way down to Har; rington street, at least,* from the residence of Mr. Wright. But certain- | ly the sidewalks should be made. And Captain Joe Werts says that he can pave streets with the "clackers," and ' that they make just as good a side-1 - i j walk as when he uses crushed stone, i and the cost will not be great because | the "clackers" do not cost anything except the cost of hauling. Certainly this is an opportune time to do the job. And then while they are at it, why not pave the sidewalk on I Nance street from Boundary down | to Main. Certainly this street is en- j | titled to at least a good sidewalk on j I one side. , On last Thursday when a vote was ! reached in the senate on the proposed amendments to the treaty and the league the senate voted them down as fast as they came up. And by good majorities. *^Just like we told you all the time, when tne test j comes the treaty is going to be ratified and the league of nations adopted. When the senators began to hear the ground swell from the people of the American nation, and heard of +"???-? fvaotmoTit r\f fionatnr Rppfj when U1C bl V/aVlilVlAW Vi S/VAAMWV* ? ? - he went out to speak against the treaty and the league, they saw the handwriting on the wall, and so it will be to the end. The pity is that the president had to go out and get sick for the purpose of letting the senators hear the voice of the people. And the further pity is that there has been such long delay, and the country has to be kept in a slate of unrest and confusion, and can J not get settled down to the business in hand, and will not until the senate ratifies the treaty and adopts the league of nations. We believe that it fras out in California where the people sent word to Senator Johnson that his own people did not care 10 near ayccm m opposition to the league of nations, and his engagement had to be called off. The truth is the people of the world, as well as the people of the United States, have had enough of war and want to see an t?ra of peaec and get down to the work of build-1 ing the new world. PAYS TO ADVERTISE. It pays to advertise. That needs no elucidation. But the editor dc-; sires to make acknowledgment to the Index-Journal of Greenwood. As supervisor for the census for this dis trict it began to look as if there was not going to be an applicant for the position of census enumerator, so we asked the editor of the Index7Joumal to make a little announcement to the effect that we. would be glad to receive a few applications for this job. As a result quite a number of applications have heen received, and all I - I rATES HAVE ADOPTED THE 56' APl eh Wagoi rn 1/ _ _ #l_ ?Kocic?ar me \jrc j Government.

The people of Greenwood read the paper of their county, and we thank the editor for carrying the notice for us. I We still need more applicants from the rural district. In this day the announcement that a job will pay from $4!00 to $6.00 per day is not at all attractive. A few years ago there would have been nn pnd to the oeonle who would have been glad to make as much, but now, not so. Somehow it seemes to us that the people as a rule do not care to work any more at anything. There are committees and commissions to secure employment for the unemployj ed, and all sorts of rules and laws and regulations about giving preference to soldiers and marines and sailors of the late war, which is all rgiht! and proper, but so far as our experience goes there seems to be no great desire to work. All 01 us want jods or positions with good pay and little or no work, but as to work there seems ot be no great rush or enthusiastic desire, to get at it. And the pay is no inducement. We are all! restless and unsettled?the whole world. -But mere is a aivirre pro- j vidence that is shaping and overruling j the affairs of men, and all things' will work out for what is best in the end. We are just that much like Woodrow Wilson, and if we did not believe this we would not be able to work our way to sanity. The haughty and the proud and ? the overbearing and the usurer, and! all such, shall receive their reward on/l eAmafimoa it.

Wanna- j maker the president of the Southern j Cotton association has recently pub-j lished telegrams from two cotton ! manufacturers, and we suppose pres- | idents of cotton mills, in which the j statement is made that the present; price of cotton is too low, and that s these mills are selling the manufac-i fnn<->f -wt nriVoe wV?ir>Vi wnnlH ! bUl VU jyjLVUUVV MV AV/VW IT ?. wv?v* ^ justify them in paying 50 cents the pound for cotton.

If Mr. Wannamajcer had given the j names of these two big manufactur-; en the statement made by them j would have had greater influence and would have done more good. The cotton farmer has the situa tion in his own hands if he will but 1 take advantage of the opportunity; j which is now his. What's the use to * grow cotton for less than it costs to ? produce it. Better strike and grow something to eat and just enough of cotton to weave and make your own clothes.
