Ladies, let's not wrap our talents in a nap kin but use each and every one of them for the advancement of His Kingdom. Let's think in world terms and get the world vision for 1922. Missionary to Jews Employed Rev. Herschel K. Cohn, of Ashe ville, N. C.,-has been employed by the Department of Home Missions to do evangelistic work among the Jews in the South. More than a year ago Mr. Cohn abandoned his studies in a Jewish Theological seminary and relinquish ed his life-long ambition to become a rabbi, in order to accept the-dootrines of Christianity.

Published Every Wednesday Subscription Rates $2.00 per year in Advance MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1922 Many a man is considered wise until a woman makes a fool of him. Give cheerfully and with a warm heart, but don't let others help themselves. The difference between the last war and the next one will be principally the time intervening. We have no doubt there are still some honest men left in the world. At least tlhey claim to be. 0 If all people were made alike life would lose half of its charm. There would be no desire to criticise. 0 Don't kick when. your wife gives you a piece of her mind. Be thankful that she is too parsimonious to give it all away. 0 The fellow without a dollar finds little satisfaction in the fact that its purchasinig power is considerably great er than it was a year ago. 0 If all people were required to live on what they honestly earn we fear some of our illustrious millionaires would starve to death. 0 Whenever we read of an American girl marrying a foreign nobleman we can't help wondering how much she paid for him. We have no sympathy withl people who claim that life is dull. Its ups and downs-are sufficient to keep any nor mal mind occupied. 0, Most humorists are people who consider themselves smart but are too dense to convert other people to their way of thinking. 0 There are some jokes which though oft repeated, nev er grow too old for consumption. For instance, congress is again about to resurrect that hoary old bird known as "readjusted compensation for the men who fought the war." " 0 BRING OUT THE BRAINS Our federal reserve board has kept this country from passing through a disastrous panic during the past two years. It will prevent others in the future, for it is the safety valve to our monetary and banking systems. An international body of this character, organized by the great financial institutions of the various countries, would do more to readjust the shattered and tottering monetary system of the old world than all other elements combined. If Europe will employ its brains along these lines and go to work the threatened collapse can be averted, and stabil ity and prosperity will eventually return. Insisting upon the cancellation of war debts is childish and will avail them nothing. SOMETHING THIS TOWN NEEDS There is something that this town needs-something it is possible for us to have-something that would be for the material benefit of each and every citizen. What is that something? You have your ideas, and other people have theirs, and it is even p~ossible that we may have ours, but no one appears to know what the other fellow .thinks. A good idea, if given p~ublicity, is valuable to every one. If bottledi up in your own thinkery it is of little or no avail. Why not let it out and give others an opportunity to size it up, for the good of the community. We will be glad to publish a number of such articles, if our readers will take the'-trouble to write them. They should set forth, briefly, the viewvs of the writers as to what is most needed in this town. Who will contribute the first idea? CRITICISM AND NAGGING Constructive criticism is beneficial to any community. Nagging and fault finding are destructive. Yet both arc to be found everywhere. Constructive criticism p~oints out the weak spots in a scheme or undertaking in a fair mindled but forceful manner. Nagging picks it to p~ieces without reason or remedy. Often a man is sincerely desirous of doing something for the general improvement of the town in which he lives. The improvement he advocates may be of no more benefit to him than to any other citizen, yet there is in variably someone ready to imp~ute a selfish or ulterior mo: tive to his efforts. In tiyme such a man, if he is not endow ed with extraordinary p~atience, becomes weary of repeat ed nagging and ceases his efforts for the community good. The town gains nothing from this nagging, but loses much through the future apathy of the one whose loyal ef forts were so unjustly attacked, Legitimate commenda tion is a booster and a builder. Nagging is a grave dig ger.
