A screech fife, a bass drum’s beat Is wonderful music to marching feet; A scratchy fiddle or banjo’s thump May tickle the toes till they want to jump. But one musician fills the air With discords that jar folks every where; A pity it is he ever was born— The discordant fellow that toots his own hom. mony/Tsvto take place at five o’clock Wednesday aftemooh, September 2, at New Prospect church.

He says and sings in tones sonorous His own sweet halleluojah chorus. ■ Refrain and verse are both the feme— The pronoun I or his own name.

Whether mighty in station or hoer Unwelcome’s the fellow who : toots his own horn. The poorest wood chopper makes the most sound, .* A poor cock clatters the most pans around; The rattling spoke carries least of the load; The jingling pennies pay^ least that is owed; A rooster crows but lays no eggs; , A braggart blows but drives no pegs. He works out of harmony with any team, For others are skim milk and he is the cream. “The world” so far as he can see, “Consists of a few other folks and WE.” * ^ He richly deserves to be held in scorn— • The ridiculous fellow that toots his own horn. —Joseph Morris.

The cere- “Rosetime” Will Be Presented By ~*~ Local Cast Under Auspices of Local Organization. «_ Everyone in Clinton is looking for ward to Tuesday night, September 1st, when the local Rotary Club will pres ent a home talent musical comedy en titled “Rosetime.” “Rosetime” is, briefly told, the story of Rosg Perkins, a country girl who was offered a chance to go to Holly wood and^become a movie star. She accepted tbe offer, much to her sweetheart’s (Jerry) dismay. — The scene for the second act is laid at the Hi Art Film company’s lot in Hollywood. The film company goes bankrupt and Jerry, who in the mean time has gotten rich, buys the Hi Art company. He offers to keep Rose as his leading lady but she< decides that she would prefer going home with Jerry to be his “leading lady.” The scene for the third act is laid in the garden of the Perkins’ home. There is a surprise party in honor of Rose’s return home'. A feature of the third act is a song and dance done by the movie farmers. To support the cast of ten, there are/sixteen chorus girls /«ud eight chorus boys, chosen from local talent. There are eleven chorus numbers, snappy songs, clever dances, pretty costumes, beautiful girls and hand some men. “Rosetime” will be staged on Tues day evening at 8:30 in the Graded School auditorium, and an admission of 35 cents for children and 75 cents for adults will be charged. O’ W. 0. COPELAND LOSES WIFE Miss Sarah Copeland has just re turned from New York where she was called on account of the illness and death of her sister, Mrs. W. O. Cope land, who died on last Sunday morn ing. the marriage of their daughter. Mat- ~ Midnight motoring became such a practice during the recent heated period in London that the highways were as crowded as at noon. OIR Ronald Ross is one of the great ^ men of the British medical profes sion. He is the man who first worked out the way in which mosquitoes carry malaria. He is also one of the lead ing authorities of the world on trop ical medicine. Speaking recently on the Increasing length of life, he said the average length of life can be ’still further In creased to one hundred years, at an expense that would only amount to sixpence a year for every Englishman. “Eighty yeare ago,” said*Sir Ron ald, “the average length of life In London was about thirty-four years and seven months for g man and thirty-eight years and four months for a woman. Today, it Ms fifty-three years and nine months for a man and fifty-nine years for a woman. Thus medical science has In 80 years given pa 20 years more of life.” The editor of a large city dally, quoting this remark, gays: “That Is very interesting, but the entire in crease in the length of life during the last 80 years can hardly be cred ited to medical science. Better liv ing conditions, brought about by mod ern building and plumbing, have prob ably done more to prolong life than anything else, except better food and bathtubs.” * , . Both Sjr Ronald and the editor show a curious but very common confusion of Ideas regarding just what is meant by ''medical sciernyp.’’ The general idea is that there are two kinds of knowledge, ordinary knowledge and ‘‘scientific knowledge.” and that there are at least two kinds of science, ordi nary science and “medical science.” That this Is incorrect will b# plain on n moment’s thought. Science means knowledge. All knowledge Is science, whether it relates to man or to rocks, to trees or to engines, to farming or' to flying. All knowledge that is worth anything is gained by observing and experimenting, carefully proving each fact, discarding what Is error and re taining what is true. The only differ ence between the^ farmer and the ex pert in the United States Department of Agriculture Is that the farmer’s knowledge is limited to what is gen erally known, while the expert test* every theory by carefully conducted and checked observations and experi ments. In the same way “medical science,*’ •r what we know about the human body and its disorders and care, Is a part of all knowle<lge or science. The student of the body must also know chemistry, physics, biology and many other I subjects. Certainly “modern building and plumbing, better food and bathtubs” have helped to prolong life. But what made these things possible? Greater knowledge. ' All knowledge is science, and science Is one and not many. (©, 1926, Western Newnj>«p*r UtoJoa.)
