Daniel next week t« our city to address the Commercial Club is a matter of more than passing interest. Dr. Daniel has a message on town building and com munity co-operation that every busi ness and professional man should hear. He has talked to commercial and civic organizations in all sections of the country and always carries to his hearers a helpful gospel of optim ism. The Commercial Club, through President Witherspoon, is to be con gratulated in securing Dr. Daniel to address it. Every member should make special efforts to be present Tuesday* evening. making it their business to he’p in troduce and establish new commercial interests and to welcome new citi zens ? 8. Progressivencss—Shall I find that I am in a town having a pro gressive city government, active civic organizations, modern fire depart ment, adequate police protection, or ganized measures for accident pre vention, and a pulj-together spirit in everything—a town with a future? ture? You cannot control the climate, natural scenery nor historic associa tions of your town; but if, in othe: respects it does not measure up to the standard that will be applied to it by intelligent town-buyers, ge' busy and help make it measure up. The first big job of a good town salesman is to see to it that his “com modity” is right.” The Clevelind Ohio Trust Company, working a large number of men and ! women, has armed all its employees organizations ! an( j taught them to shoot accurately to shoot kill at the bandit who undertakes to hold up that institu tion. Re-enforced steel mail cars are being built to protect Uncle Sam’s mail against bandits. All of which shows that the country is full o f crooks—men who are bent on taking from others that which does not be long to them. Yet, some folks *ay the world is geting better. it in awe that woul^ never take the trouble to study the' brain that once worked under that hair. Read his letters to those that repre sented him in the government of his various conquered territories and you will know something about Napol eon’s power. Read of his attitude to ward women, a little above that of a chimpanzee, and you’ll know about his weakness. ♦ Ej IT clSSciri t + W. W.

Carver, a negro scientist of !he Tuskegee InsLitute, has a fellowship in the Royal Society of Great Britain, awarded him for re search. He has developed 118 chemi cal products from the swset potato. 176 from the peanut, 85 from the pe can and 300 from common clay. His work tends in the direction of the trend of science, which is which is abojt convinced tha£ you can about convinced that you can take anything in the world and reduce then through a re-combination of atomic matter re-create anything else Th is is a theory, of course, and not practical, nevertheless, it is present always as a possibility. Dr. Carver ha*-tak<;n these lowly products apart, in a chemical sense, and re-assembled their parts in vary ing atomic structure. His work should not be derided, however, be cau«<e it is outstanding, even if ex plainable. He himself has an expla nation for it, saying recently in a New York speech that without God to “draw aside the curtain” he would be helpless. “The things that 1 am to do end the way of doing it come to me. I never have to grope for methods, the method is revealed at the moment I am inspired to create something Tjew.” IrTiT' humble, commendable spirit, Dr. Carver gives God the cre dit for everything. It takes a whole lot more mone\ .o make the automobile go than it used to take to make the mare go. A young man, eighteen years old. set fire to seven barns on Henry- Ford’s estate last April. He was con* victed, and ordinarily would have been sent to spend his early manhood in some prison university of crime. Henry Ford appealed to the Court, and had the young man put on proba tion, guaranteeing that he, Ford, would send the young man that burn ed his barns to the Ford trade school. More trade schools and more Fords might make jails less numerous. i KEEP YOUR DECEMBER TABLE i UP AND YOUR EXPENSES f DOWN!

One of the troubles with the coun try today is that everybody wants to Jive' in the towns and cities and let thfc country go to the bow-wows. These fortune tellers always tel you that you have money coming youi way some day. But it sounds lots better to hear the paying teller say it. It is all right, Jason, to f~>rgc ahead, but be sure you don’t use some body else’s name. \Ve f'nd very little in this worl that is free. Yet some folks are al ways talking about this free country of ours. In the Piedmont section, within radius of seventy miles of Clinton, there are twenty male and female col leges.

Women have heir way TESTING A TOWN There are probably no town* in the world that measure up to the ideal of what the best town ought to be. There ar printed below eight tests outlined by Prof. E. M. Johnson, of the University of Wisconsin. They are well worth our consideration: 1. Attractiveness—Shall I like the town—its “atmosphere?” Does it have the beauty of shaded streets and other beautiful features. Is it a quiet, roomy, airy, well-lighted town? Does it have attractive public buildings and homes? Is it well paved? Is it clean in every sense? 2. Healthfulne.'ia—Will my family and will I have a reasonable chancr. to keep well in that town? How about its water supply? Its sanitary system ? Its method of milk inspect ion? Its health department? Its hospitals? Is it without any con gested district? 3. Education—Can I educate my family and myself in that town? How about its public schools—present and futute? Its institutions of higher education or of busines training? Its libraries? Its lectures and concert coYirses? Its newspapers? Its postal facilities? Its schedule of salaries to teachers?- Its investment in school property ? 4. Living—Can we live reasonably and well in tha ttown? Are the best of modern conveniences available for its residents—electricity, gas tele phones, etc.? Are the housing and shopping conditions favorable? Rents, taxes and prices fair? Hotels good? Home and truck gardens and dairy products plentiful ? Is it a good town in which to bring up children? 5. Accessibility—Can we go and come easily? Does the town have adequate railroad connections and train services? Street car lines? Well marked automobile routes and clous,” man, stop grumbling and look hard-surfaced roads? Desirable prox- up and around you, and see how our imity to other cities affording addi- ( city is shaping up for great things in tional advantages? (the future. We have everything here 6. Business—Can I make good nse for the foundation of a great and -of capital in that town? Are there prosperous community. Keep that good banking facilities? Manufac- constantly before you, and talk flin- turing interests? Up-to-date stores? ton, think Clinton, write Clinton, cat, .We are always having something new put before us. Now it come xrom Dr. Marvin; head weather fore caster for Uncle Sam. He urges new calendar, different from what we have always had, containing thirteen months to the year, with 28 days to the month. He ought to spend hi time and hiain figuring out some thing really worth while, or of some importance. The months are shoi enough now—if you don’t believe it make a thirty day note at the bank. Speaking of blessings, do you real ize just how fortunate you are to be allowed to reside in- Clinton? Hav you not noticed how glad people who have left Clinton are, whenvthy are permitted to retunv? “Goodness gra- Lord Ashfield, Englishman, v.'io hinks, says that Bolshevism is kept down in America by the fact that al most everybody has an automobile. Almost everybody hasn’t an automo bile. But almost everybody can rea sonably hope to have one, or to ride in one owned by a son, daughter, jrother or sister.

They have found in Africa, well ^reserved, bones of a dinosaur, twice as big as the biggest thus far'known. The history of that, dinosaur would show that the bigger he grew, the nearer he was to extinction. That thought should occupy the minds of our financial dinosaurs, “Providence arranges t so that the trees shall not grow into the heavens.” That’s also true of dinosaurs and corporations.

T You Pay The Price of Sound Sleep: What Kind Are You Getting The money that you invest in sleep equipment is the smallest part of what sleep costs you. Time is the big thing. In return for every hour of work and play, we all have to pay thirty minutes each night in sleep. And for this third of life spent in bed, most of us get less real rest than we should. Poor bed ding cheats us. Yet rest is life’s great need. If nightly you lose even an hour of the deep unbroken sleep you require, your health suffers, your energy flags, success fades away. You can put off buying better bedding. But you can not escape the consequences. Why not realize, then, that very day you delay, you are defrauding yourself?
