The program promises to fee up to the usual Redpath high stan dard and will afford entertainment to suit all tastes. The Chuatauqua appearing here an nually, should always be given a hear ty support. It renders a community service of inestimable value. It is a powerful agency to instruct and to inspire.

Where we find ample cheap power for manufacturing purposes, we find in dustrial expansion, 'the city or com munity that refuses to provide cheap power for prospective new-comers, hasn’t a chance in the world to go for ward. but on the other hand is bound to suffer from a lack of new indus tries and pay-foils. # Clinton was fortunate a few years ago in bringing hydro-electric power •nto our community. Before that time, power users had been charged exhor- blt&nt rates. This meant that new plants or enterprises of various kinds, with any intention or tendency to lo cate here, were driven away and that other places have profited over us.' Now that we have this abundance of cheap power made possible by the coming of the Southern Power com pany linds, we should capitalize on this asset and put on a campaign to at tract and induce new enterprises. The increase of power consumption on the part of the city, means a lowering of the already low rates the city is now paying. In other words, the more pow er our city uses, the cheaper it can be bought on its sliding scale contract. Manufacturing enterprises build towns, pay-rolls create profitable business, and cheap power \9 the outstanding peiquisite in this industrial develop ment which the South and this partic ular sectiom is expecting within the next few years. The power question has been before the city council recently but. thus far no reductions have been made in the manufacturing rates, though it is our opinion that such should be done. It is noted, however, that the rates charged for cooking and refrigerating Many villages gnd towns have had ' We oro- told that few men grov or their population doubled by destitute even change very much after reaching refugees.

We would honor her by remembering her love, and from her spirit we receive a new vis ; on of the love we must give; we recall her unnumbered services to us, and straighway in our hearts there spring up her demand that are serve others as she served us. We think of her infinite patience and are lifted by the resolve t» be her farth! and in our hearts the torch of unquenchable desire for good is lighted from the steady flame of her soul. Isn’t it a pleasant thing to think that we commemorate Mother’s Day by wearing a flower; by going to church; by doing and thinking kindly things! The very manner of our ob servance expresses Mother—her love of beauty; her pure, quiet devotion to Gdo and His work; her simplicity; her sternal dedication of herself to kindly, -gentle service for others. that the housewives of the community will install electric ranges and other electric conveniences. “Use more elec tricity” should be the slogan.

Dear Mother Mine, today. UES TEACH unpopular elements being highly moral and goofi is that we try to make other people good. Nobody objects to a man’s being as righteous as he would like to be; they object when that man tries to make others righteous. There is one thing dearer to the human soul than doing right; it is doing as it pleases. Regulating people and telling them not to do things may gratify our own vanity and secure immediate obedi ence. but it is a poor way bo improve people. If you bring up little Willie accord ing to all the rules of child breeding, if you keep him always carefully re moved from temptation and preserve him, as it were, in syrup until he is twenty-one and then turn him loose, he will probably fall before some goo- goo-eyed charmer before he has gone around the block. The surest way to learn and to grow ir. this world is to make your own mis takes and suffer the penalty of them. Only when we have erred and suffer ed for it do we learn thoroughly not it* err. If you tell people to go straight, some spirit of independence in them will lead them to violate your instructions. One of he things man finds out as commissions of relief and reconstruc tion under leadership of independent and able citizens. “Three commissions are not only un dertaking to co-ordinate the state with the national agencies in emergency questions but are at once organizing in every town and county to determine the need and the method of reconstruc tion. Our g^eat federal departments will support them with their represen tatives and skill. The Red Cross has app inted one of its members to act upon the commissions to co-ordinate the work and support. “The people of the South are dem onstrating daily their courage and their ability. “No man can charge the fate of thes: unfortunate people to any fail ure upon their own part.
