Sherman, president of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, •suggested this three-fold ideal for these .clubs in an address the other Aay: Good citizen hip. world peace, and service to the community. The women’s clubs used to holtf per gonal culture as their prominent aim, but now they seem to have gone on to the idea of service.. This is the spirit which we need in all the com munity organizations. If they merely work for their own benefit, for their *wn personal development, then their function is too narrow and their in- tjtience curtailed. They need to set in motion those activities that shall lift the whole population to a higher level of efficiency and character. FINE FOR P. C. The heartiest congratulations are in order to the R. 0. T. C. unit of the Presbyterian College in winning first place last week in the annual contest at Camp McClellan.' Col. Glasgow’s boys believe in repeating a good thing ibr in 1922 they captured this same honor, and for t^e past two years, made creditable showings in third and fourth place. The honor that has come to the College is a coveted one and stands out conspiciously as a valuable adver tisement for the institution. Es pecially is this true, when one takes in- consideration the large number of -competing Colleges, some-of them of an entire military nature, and prac- tk»IJy all composed of larger student bodies. To excel in such a field of 4cmpetition is an accomplishment of which to be proud. To Col. Glasgow, the efficient head of the military vnit, and to his associates, congratu lations are in order on the fine shtnv- ings that are repeatedly being made by their men at Camp McClellan. and he could be counted upon take a bold and uncompromising stand for the principles in which he believed. He figured conspicuously in the Democratic party as the “Peerless Leader,” but the most noteworthy ex- =■ ample of his political strength was in the 1912 Democratic national conven tion when he made possible the elect ion of that , macthless statesman, Woodrow Wilson, to the Presidency of the United States. A delegate from Nebraska at that time, he was instructed for Champ Clark, but when he saw that Clark had entered into an alliance with sinister interests, he declared himself released and announ ced Woodrow Wilson as his second choice. The story of that memorable occasion is too well known to need be re-told—it followed the leadership and judgement of ‘“The Great Commoner” and put Wilson at the head of our na- titm during the trying time of the World War. God seemed to have ** hand in all of the deliberations of that convention. Many people differed with Mr. Bryan on vartous views, but no one ever doubted his sincerity. He was a clean man, and in the long period of years in. which he stood before the public eye, not once was a finger of | scorn pointed at him, hot once was he charged with graft or suspicion, not once was his character assailable or the intimatiop made evfcn by his worst enemies that ho could be bought *or controlled. Mr. Bryan was a devout Christian, giving to the world an, example of a stinless and incorruptib c life. He put God and the Bible first, with these two weapons, he challenged and uncompromisingly fought Darrow and the agnostics in the celebrated Day- ton case which probably had some thing to do with his death. He car ried his religion with him everywhere he went, and he fought in and cut of season for his religious convictions. He went down to death i« a militant crusade to preserve and maintain that belief and to point the world to God as its only hope. His name will live forever. He fought a good fight, anT sorrow dwells in the hearts of millions who feel a personal loss in his sudden passing. Human minds’ cannot understand the ways and purposes of the Divine. •Enjoying the best of health, and hav- ir^g just waged the fight of his life. Mr. Bryan was called quickly from a useful life. It looks as though his work was finished and that an all wise Providence quietly transplanted him in the twinkling of an eye inlc His kingdom. Mr. Bryan is gone from this earth and its troubles, but his influence will remain behind to bless all who would follow his exam ple. : En Passant: * ~ W. W. H. In the passing of Bryan the coun try has becn called, upon to give up one of its greatest and purest men. We have some wonderful laws. A man works hard all day in a manufac turing plant and upon coming out to get a refreshing cold drink is charged with a luxury tax. One hears much about the pursuit of happiness, but it takes all the time of most of us to keep even with our bank accounts. I It takes a long time for some things to happem—hut a bad check comes back right now. , Some one asks, “what age people would like to be.” Apparently the old people want to be younger and the young people want to be older. It is claimed that chilcfren ought to be taught to tjiink, but there is a large number of pedple who feel that would be dangerous. We are all urged to drink of the fountain of knowledge, but the major ity seem to prefer the soda fountain. The chase for the dollar is said to \ * be dangerous, but- rf we do not chase it to a certain extent, our creditors will chase us.

The doctors are asked what to do for sore eyes, while the politicians want to know what to do for sore heads. The- school pupils that don’t learn their dates bother the teacher, but the teachers are more bothered with the men who don’t, keep them- It is not true that the plumbers and bricklayers of this country are getting all of the people’s money, be cause the carpenters and plasterers are getting a good deal of it. Some one asks why young men, when riding place their feet on the dashboards of their automobiles. Dunno, unless to push out of the way anything they run into. Our idea of an optimist is-the fel low who expects relief from our pres- _ ent rotten tax system. • • - SUPPRESSION OF THOUGHT Much has been said during recent years about the alleged suppression •f free speech. li will impress the ordinary person, however, that peo ple are usually able to say what they aramt to without interference from the law. Of course, if a man gets.up on a soap-box and urges his hearers to rise to overthrow the government by lurce and violence, he has gone over tfce line where free speech must end. It will be alleged, however, that there is suppression of thought, if not to h««l means, at least by the general pressure of social and husi- mbs opinion. Many editors, it is of ten declared, really never say what they think about things. Ministers, n said, are often forced to keep silent about things they feel ought to In preached about. Politicians, us- wafly, are compelled to yield to public sentiment in the same way. II:is often remarked, and there’s a lot of. truth i it the statement, that an wri^hal thinker whose ideas do not IbOdw along the usual line, is hushed Up by a kind of social ostracism. The world is full of timid people who are fearful of any current of /tisagprovaL Tgb many keep still when they ought to speak about wrong conditions. It is only by an wutspokenr fight against wrong that r afce evils that afflict society can be wnoved. .Nevertheless, there are plenty of i FLAG ETIQUETTE When Dewey’s fleet returned to New York after the Battle of Manila Bay, a Swedish janitor in a large department store hoisted an Ameri can flag with the Union down and flew the signal of distress throughout the celebration. A patriotic citizen should make no such mistakes as this. Since a numbet of business houses of the city have recently purchased flags to place in front of their buildings oh special occasions, it would be well for us to take a course in “flag etiquette.” In displaying flags or bunting the following customs should be observed: 1. The proper time for raising or putting out a flag is sunrise or after, never before. 2. The flag should be lowered at sunset. 3. A flag should never be allowed to trail or lie on the ground and should always be taken in during stormy weather. 4. When the flag is raised at cere monies, everyone present should stand, face the flag and salute with the right hand raised to the fore head. - 5. When the flag passes tn parade, spectators should stand, men and boys with hats removed. 6. When any other flag is display ed with our National colors. Old Glory must always be on the right or above. 7. As a sign of mourning the flag should first be hoisted to the top of the mast for a moment, then lowered half way and left half-mast. At sun set the flag should first be hoisted to the top of the mast before lower ing to the ground. 8. The flag should never be used for a cover or in any position where other objects are placed on it. 9. Flags should always be treated with reverence and carefully put away when not in use 10.

Apparently the only way to prevent people being run over at the railroad crossings, is for the trains to stop until the automobiles get by. Formerly arduous suitors used to serenade the objects of their adora tion with lovelorn ditties, but now they" get out in front of the house and say “C’mon” by blowing their automobile horns.

BADLY RUN-DOWN 11 Lady Was Very Depressed on Account of Poor Health. Mn. H. S. Miller, of Spindale. N. G., says: “Five years ago 1 was very much 'run>down in health. I would give out with the least exertion. At times I would have to go to bed. “I read of Cardui. . . My hus band got me a bottle and en couraged me to take it. 1 was almost a skeleton, 1 was so thin. 1 was run-down and my general health was very poor. This was very depressing and 1 was to low spints. My husband had to help me around. He did all he could for me and had me keep up Cardui. “1 continued taking the medicine for several months and it was wonderful the improvement 1 made. I gained over twenty pounds in weight, and I felt so i much better besides. This gain was permanent, too. 1 have never lost it and my general health has been much better since 1 took Cardui.” At all drug stores. c-m CARDUI The WomaiftIonic The man or woman who has laid out a de- M finite goal for his or her future and works un- M erringly in that direction has taken a real step f§ towards independence and success.
