souvenirs were given each of the
twenty little guests.

The' President says farmers can
solve their problems, or some of them,,
by co-operative marketing.
Could the President guarantee the
farmers against prosecution, based bn
restraint of trade, if farmers combin
ed, established market places and fix
ed prices?
A Government board now tells mov
ing picture men that they may not ex
hibit their own pictures in their own
theatres.
,If that were sound—of course it is
NOT sound—farmers could not sell
their own products in their own mar
kets, which is what they SHOULD do.
MRS. BAILEY HOSTESS
TO TUESDAY BRIDGE CLUB
On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. C. M.
Bailey was quite an attractive hostess
tess to the Tuesday Bridge Club. Three
tables were arranged for the players
and the players found their places
with hand-painted score cards. Mrs.
Bailey, assisted by Miss Corinne Bai
ley and Miss Frances Glasgow, served
two tempting courses. The guests
present were: Mesdames J. H. Wither
spoon, George Young, Jack Young,
R. W. Wade, J. W. Young, Will Robin
son, Hugh Simpson, Gary Dillard, E.
L. Glasgow, Walter Johnson, B. H.
Boyd and L. B. Dillard.
STONE MOUNTAIN BENEFIT
ENJOYABLE AFFAIR
The Stone Mountain Benefit at the
Bois Terre club on Saturday after
noon proved quite a pleasant social
treat. Dainty sandwiches and tea were
served by Misses Mary Henry and
Corinne Bailey. Tables were arrang
ed for rook and bridge and the follow
ing players were present: Mesdames
H. D. Henry, R. J. Copeland, Frank
Kellers, E. L. Glasgow, L. B. Dillard,
Goyne Simpson, J. H. Withefspoon, C.
M. Bailey, James Sprunt, William Bai
ley Owens, W. J. Bailey, J. F. Jacobs,
B, H. Boyd, Misses Clara Duckett,
Polly ‘Elrod, Cornelia Bethea, Theo
Lyles, Frances Glasgow, Elizabeth
Young, Marie Cozby and Mae Owens.
And what, if anything, would Gov
ernment do to help the farmers? A
great deal is done for railroads. A
Governmtent board watches over them,
raises rates when the railroad lacks
reasonable prpfits, and says to the
public, “Pay or walk.”
Would the Government show inter
est of that sort in farmers and MAKE
the public pay for wheat and potatoes
enough to pay the farmer well ?
Canada discovers a deposit of heli
um gas and the Canadian Government
has bought the three producing wells,
keeping for itself all helium rights.
In Canada the Government will keep
and work these wells for the public
benefit, and there will be no Canadian
helium “Teapot Dome affair.”
Give our Canadian brothers credit
for that.

The District of Columbia Court of
Appeals decides that the indictments
in connection with the stealing of the
naval oil reserves must stand.
It would be surprising, gratifying
and new if the fact should be estab
lished that in this country a man can
not go free even when he steals one
hundred million dollars. The general
impression was that anything from
one million up was quite safe.

Why do you pay everyone else first
and leave him until the last? If it is
because you. know he will not press
x you severely and the others will, isn’t
it only fair to pay first the doctor,
who is most lenient?
Don't penalize your doctor just be
cause he has tried to be “easy” with
you.
Never forget that he came when
ever you called, night or day. He gave
freely of his time ^nd experience—
the only two things he has to get
paid for.
He came willingly—^without a
grouch, without a fret. He tried hu
manely to help you, or your dear ones.
And now that the trouble is past,
the crisis o’er—are you as faithful to
him?
Or do you still neglect to pay his
bill? Do you always, when your
money comes in, put his bill on the
bottom and pay others whom you
know will make you suffer if
delay.
T
Think how unfair this is. Unfair
to the faithful doctor, and unfair to
your reputation as an honest citiaen.
1
You play a cruel game when you let
your doctor's bill get old. He needs
money just as you do. Suppose other
people from whom you derjteyyfMr
income should hold up your money!
Wouldn’t you have a right to be
angry?
If you cannot pay, say so. If you
can pay part and do not, then there is
only one thing { that can be true—you
are a “dead beat”—a person who has
the money but will not pay your hon
est debts.
r
Stop, now—and think. *
How old is your oldest doctor bill?
IF THIS SHOE FITS—IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT. AND
YOUR DOCTOR, AS HE READS TJUS, IS T KINK
ING OF YOU!

MRS. HAYS HONORS
BRIDGE CLUB
On Thursday morhing Mrs. Clair
H^ys was-a gracious hostess to the
' Bridge Club at the home of her sister,
Mrs. William Bailey Owens,
James Sprunt of Dillon and Miss Cole
of Chicago, were honor guests. Two
delightful courses were served and

dames James Sprunt, Rufus Sadler,
J. W. Finney, W. J. Bailey, J. F.
Jacobs, Barnie Parott, and William
Bailey„Owens.
A learned Britisher, translating the
Bibie, finds a mistake in the King
James version. The men that the-star
guided to Bethlehem were not kings
or “wise men,” they were magicians.
In ancient days^the difference was
slight. Unless a man was a magician
the superstitious people thought little
of his wisdom. That is why founders
of new religions have been compelled
to perform miracles, or pretend per
formance.

The great Kepler, working at his
cosmic problems, depending on the
Emperor for money and protection,
Mrs. J had to pretend that he could i^ad the
stars aitd tell the Emperor’s fortune,
warning him or encouraging him ac
cording to the stars. For the magni
ficent wisdom of Kepler, one of the
world’s six greatest astronomers and
mathematicians, the Emperor had lit

“IDLE MOMENTS”
ENJOY MEETING
On Wednesday afternoon Mrs. W.
H. Simpson was a cordial hostess to
the “Idle Moments.” Those enjoying
Mrs. Simpson’s hospitality were: Mes
dames J. H. Witherspoon, L. E. Wig
gins, J. Lee Young, J. Will Dillard,
G. H. Ellis, F. C. Pinson, L. D. Mc
Crary, S. G. Dillard, Irby Hipp, W. D.
Copeland and Goyne Simpson. Mrs.
Simpson served ' an elegant salad
course with charlotte rousse with
coffee and fruit cake.
In the Swiss village of Piona men
drank brandy, and got drunk. There
was no cafe and the village was on
a “hard stuff” basis.
The men wanted a cafe. The wo
men objected, opened a woman’s cafe
and ran it, suppying the men with
light beer and wine and keeping an
eye on them. Strange to say, the men
who objected at first are now con
tented, and what is more important,
they are sober.
