C., SEPT. 17, 1925 12 PAGES GAY CLOTHES FOR MEN Many designers of men’s clothing keep predicting that man will wear brighter colors. One of the big style authorities now designing costumes at the Hollywood studios, says that in the future men will wear brighter clothes than women. He argues this theory from the fact that the male birds have gayer feathers than the female. On the streets, especially in the cities, it is noted that many men, and all tea-hounds, have been wearing somewhat gayer clothing, socks, ties, etc., and very light colored suits and overcoats are said to be generally fashionable. But in the main, as re spects clothes, the average man who has reached maturity, is satisfied to be a neutral background for his wife’s glories. desire for sensationalism may seem to be in demand; by the reading pub lic, it is a newspaper’s duty to keep its own columns decent and thus strive to hold steady the public mind in the path of right, morality and the ser vice of God. “Is it fit to print and be read by my own mother, wife or daughter?” should be the test rather than “Will it sell more papers?” Let us be enterprising without being sen sational. “4. Consideration for the unfor tunate and for the guiltless victims of the faults of others. Since publicity is the greatest deterrent of crime, we must expose fearlessly and without favor the names of law breakers, but we should protest the names of mem bers of their families and other asso ciates. No story justifies needless damage to a good reputation nor wan ton pain to the innocent. “5. Respect and tolerance for those of different religions, races and cir cumstances # of life. Ridicule may bring only pain to them but its author cannot escape real injury in loss of respect in which he is held by the public and by himself. “6. Honesty in our dealings with our readers, our advertisers, our em ployees, our competitors and all with tfhom we do business; to give a dol lar’s value for every dollar received and to pay a dollar for every dollar’s worth of service. We should do no less and should be expected to do no out. It is all right for a married man to Calk back to hit wife, provided he does not let her hear him. -J-— K WOMEN’S WORK Many women throughout the coun try are kicking about that provision of the income tax law as to the state ment required relative to people’s oc cupations. In the portion of the blank where people name their occopations, they have to write “none” in case they have no outside employment but sim ply devote themselves to housekeeping at home. The men say this is a mere matter of foi;m and a trifling detail. But the women do not think it looks well. So a number of their organizations are petitioning; qpngr^as to have the blank form changed. It strikes us that there is ground for their complaint.* When a woman gets up at six o’clock to get break fast, milks the cow, brings in the atove wood, spends all day long cook ing and sweeping and caring for the family, and at last gets a moment of rest only after the kids have been put to bed, it is rather unappreciative and unfair to list her as having no occu pation. MRS. COOLIDGE’S SMILE Mrs. Coolidge’s smile has become famous oh the North shore of Mass achusetts where she and Cal’ spent the summer. * It is commonly referred to as her “million dollar smile”. She $eems to have a kind of infectious laugh which makes her personality fascinating and magnetic. Not many of us can have a million dollar smile, and we might use it too often if we did. Some people smile so much that it is* a liability instead of an asset. Yet there are many who have made thbir way in business and politics by the power of their smiling countenance. more. “7. Truth, first, last and always, to the limit of our ability; to be as accurate as human fallibility on the part of others as well as of our selves will permit; to willingly mis lead none and to be fair to all. There are two sides to every story._ Let us tell both. If we do anyone an injus tice, we should correct it at once, whether the injured person demands it or not. “Though temporary prosperity may be ^achieved by violation of some of these ideals, we conceive it our duty to hold steadfast to these principles, and believe permahenl^success will re ward their faithfuL performance.” Speaking of unnecessary jobs, whal about chaperones? The flappers will soon be growing up and complaining of the rough wayr of the younger crowd. Folks used to hold out the hand of friendship, but the hand extended for tips is the most comnionly seen now- a-days. Many towns with abundant water are making a great noise by advertis ing the fact, but this does not satisfy those who demand hootch. A real estate advertisement says every man should be his own land lord, but in that case some would feel that they couldn’t deface the house so cheerfully. How times have changed. About this time of the year in the old days, mother was busy using old flour sacks to make underwear for the children. A thing may be difficult, but it will never be done by the man who says it can’t be done. * GARDEN NOTES * o (By A. E. Schilietter, Extension X ♦ - Horticulturist) J Do not overlook the importance of fertilizer for the fall and winter garden. Make a top 'dressing of ni trate of soda or growing crops and work it well into the soil. Dust with calcium arsenate cab bage, collards and other crops that have been attacked by cabbage worms or other chewing insects. . foie is one of the hardiest crops e n we have for greens. Seed sowed in September or October will give a sup ply from November until well into the spring. Do not leave the plants too thick. Charleston or Early Jersey Wake field cabbage seed sowed in Septem ber or early October and trans-plant- ed in November will fill the bill for early spring white head cabbage. Have you decided how many priz es your home garden will take at the co.unty or state fair? The fairs are not liberal enough in offering pre miums for fall vegetables in particu- ular, and the home garden in gen eral, but will Letters to The Editor | Editor Clinton Chronicle: I notice something in The Chroni cle under the “Jedge’a Josh” that re minds me of an old gag that I had forgotten. It was about Bill Boards and Board Bills. As I remeber it, it ran about as follows: Bill had a Bill Board, BiM / also had a Board Bill. Bill’s Board Bill Bored Bill; . Bill sold hie Bill Board to pay his Board Bill. , Bill’s Board Bill Bored Bill no more. Bill advises payment of Bdhrd Bills To avoid being Bored With Board Bills. ' * The drought in this section, begin ning in June 1924, still persists, no rain to do any good only to lay the dust since that time. There are about 140 counties affected severely. The whole state is affected* more or less, most of the rains reported are noth ing but dry weather showers. There have been some pour-down floods widely scattered in the West, Northwedt; North and Northeast Tex- The hard hit section is as dry as and barren as the Sahara desert. It produced about one and a half to two million bales last year and will pot yield more than one hundred thous and this yeaf, probably not more than seventy-five thousand; no corn or oth er feed-stuffs at all. I see that Dun- cdh’s Creek and Enoree River are nearly dried up. I suppose there are a few people living that remember 1845. B. P. TEMPLETON. September 9, 1925. - ■ Delvalle, Travis County, Texas.

A NEWSPAPER CODE OF ETHICS At the recent annual convention of the Southern Newspaper Publishers’ Association, held m Asheville, the fol lowing code of ethics was submitted by a specially appointed committee and adopted. These are the principles and ideals upon which every reputable newspaper is founded, and to which they must hold steadfast if they are to succeed and win the confidence of the public. “1. Service to the community, the state, our country and to civilization. People uaed tahe more neighborly. But anyway, the boys are still willing to call on all the pretty girls. The doctors tell us that we need eight hours sleep, and some folks try to steal part of it while at work or in church. v Personal appearance is said to play a large part, and judging from the frequency with which the girls powder their noses, they must believe it. Feeling that the president may be lonely now that he has gotten back from his vacation, the office-seekers will be constantly dropping in to keep him company. There are lets of mean folks ip the world but what about the fellow who won’t pay the doctor after he has saved his life?
