The Chronicle is today carry ing a special eight-page section set ting forth the purposes and work of this International organization of which the Clinton club is a part. The selection and preparation of all copy and advertising was handled by the club, The Chronicle only serving as the medium through which this infor mation is presented. Civic organizations like Kiwanis, Rotary. Lions and others, are now found in thousands of towns and cities throughout the United States and oth- et countries.

Your attention is directed to this unusual feature in today’s paper, sponsfored entirely by local Kiwanians. TRAVELING When airplanes begin competing with the railroads and busses as is now being predicted by many, the whole question of traveling will be come more complicated. Children in the schools now will tell their children: “I remember when my father used to travel long distances on the railroad train. Wben he went to California he had to sleep four nights on tne train.” The world moves on—exceeding the speed limit everywhere. roundings are fine, but it takes initia tive to' make things go. “The business of the Clinton citi zens for 1927 is to do business here, if it can be'done with reason and pro priety. Every dollar spent here makes it that much easier for the other fel low to spend His money here and so on, like any other cumulative dividend. “Investing in Clinton is like getting cojnpound interest, wiht the privilege still to cash in on the principal. “The proposition of ‘trading at home’ has been too often construed for the help of the merchant alone. There is no greater economic fallacy. The merchant may gain the first or primary benefit; the result may show up first in his own cash register; but by no means is the ‘business man’ the sole heir of local patronage. We are all ‘business people.’ It is a broad term and includes those who toil or add anything to the 1 total of human welfare. “The merchant, the banker, the farmer, the housewife, the teacher, the preacher, the lawyer, the doctor, the laborer, the contractor, in short— the ‘butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker’ are all in the same class when it comes to making Clinton what it should be in 1927. Set any one of these trades or professions a-going and all the rest are benefited all the way up or down the line. If one prospers, the others he deals with or pays wages to are helped accordingly.

SCHOOL DAYS AGAIN __ ^Within a few days now there will be a clanging of bells and a scuffling of young feet in preparation for the opening of a new session of the city schools. It should be a source of gratifica tion to our people that Clinton has a well organized and adequate school system. Whose are the schools -anyway? Who gains or loses by the investment in them? It is only through intelli gent co-operation between school, home and civic life that the schools perform their highest service. Pat rons especially, should remember this. > IT LOOKS BETTER Cotton, to the delight of all, is an amazing climber when it gets headed in the right direction. The estimated crop shortage by the government, and the devastating work of the boll wee vil throughout the cotton belt, has had the stimulating effect of boosting the price substantially during the past two weeks. It has now reached and passed the twenty cents mark, with indications pointing that it will still go higher. This should encourage us all, and at the same time, past experiences should be a warning to us to keep “cool heads.” Forty cents cotton ard general inflation heretofore, has shown conclusively that we can’t stand extraordinary prosperity. This is no time to gamble. Our people have gam bled enough already in cotton, in land, • in automobiles, stocks, and other * things. We need therefore, on the eve of a period which looks far mere en couraging than the past three years, to hold our equilibrium and make an effort to stay on the plain road to prosperity. Better times are ahead. Crop condi tions in a radius of ten miles of Clin ton are reported to be the best in the DESIRE—KEEP IT EVER GREEN That is a pretty good title. It is given to one of the recent Antioch Col lege pamphlets and is very suggestive.' There is nothing people need more in the world than desire. The jyeat problem is not repressing desire or up rooting it, but properly nursing it. We need desire all our lives. No great thing was ever done by a man without a great desire. It was Napoleon’s desire for fame that drove him forward, and Alexan der’s and Caesar’s desire for conquest that actuated their efforts. Marriage is rarely successful with out a great desire. A marriage merely for convenience, for money, for position, or such rea sons, is usually a failure. There have been few business suc cesses accomplished by those who had no desire to go forward, and fetf poli ticians achieve success without the proper amount of ambition. Behind the whole human race in ev ery race is the thing we call desire. It is the steam of the human engine. It is the urge in human accomplish ment. r- " People do not fail so much because they want the wrong things. Some do. But most people do not succeed be cause they do not know what they want or do not want a thing bard enough. Since desire is so essential in human accomplishment everything should be done to conserve it. All those false avenues of which desires are easily satisfied without great accomplish ment are injurious. The chief trouble with drinking al cohol is not its immediate toxic effect upon the system so much as it is the fact that it gives us a sense qf satis faction without due effort.’ The peace and content and hilarity that come af ter a good drink of whiskey proper!] come after doing a job of work well. Those who are steady drinkers are very unreliable doers. The sex desire properly conserved and limited is the foundation of the home. If it seeks its satisfaction in other channels the home life is weak ened. The efforts of mankind should be not to suppress nor destroy desire so much as to d : rect it into proper chan nels and save its force for something worth while. * The greatest wasters are the wast ers of desire. There is need of thrift in desire as well as in other things. You never know when you may want it. Bishop Candler Honored In Atlanta Atlanta, Aug. 23. — Protestantism and laity in the South united today to do honor to BisJiojr Warren A. Candler, senior bishop of the Methodist Epis copal church, South, and one of Amer ica’s leading religious luminaries—on the occasion of his 70th birthday, fall ing ; n his 30th year of episcopacy. Former Senator Hoke Smith was principal speaker in a brief ceremony of tribute, held by the bishop’s friends at his home this afternoon. On be- helf of his friends in all Protestant denominations. Senator Smith pre sented Bishop Candler with an auto mobile with “intensest admiration for your life work as a preacher of the gospel and for your service to your fellow men.” Warren Akin Candler was born in 1857, graduated from Emdly in 1875 and immediately entered the Metho dist ministry, where as a youthful preacher he gained wide fame for* his scholarly discourses and forceful per sonality. In 1888 he was made president of Drive confidently, just as though there weren't twenty million other cars in service. Always lock your brakes when skid ding. It majtes the job more irtistic. Always pass cars on hills. It shows you have power; and you can turn out if you meet'a car at the top. In sloppy weather drive close to ne- destrians. Dry cleaners appreciate it. Take the shortest route around blind curves, let the other fellow watch out for himself. Never look around, when you back up. There is never anything behind you.—Two Bells.

Whether or not the West will hit many ‘home runs’ is yet to be seen. President Coolidge’s supporters believe that the West’s ex periments will not succeed and that in four or eight years the people will be very glad again to have a conser vative man like Coolidge back in the White House. On the other hand, men like Senator Capper, who are both wise and honest, believe that these so- called ‘wild’ ideas of the fartners are sound and will succeed. One thing i? certain now—namely that some exper iment is to be tried. The President as much as says:—‘I don’t believe it, will wrok—but I am willing that those who so believe it may try it.’ “In the meantime, business goes merrily on and the Babsonchart today stands at just about normal. Moreover as one travels about the United States and Canada—as I have during the past four months, he is convinced that it will take more than a ‘political event’ to dampen the energies and hopes of the American people. To many of us here in the East, Wall Streets idea’s and interpretations are very important, but-let us not forget less than 5 per cent of the people of America own a share of stock or a bond. It is what happens in “Main Street”—not in Wall Street—which interests the American people, and ten thousand ‘Main Streets’ are scat tered from the Atlantic to the Pacif- J..B.

Some weeks ago s The Lake County Citizen of Florida, had an editorial article, entitled “1928 and Tavares,” which has been copied by several oth er papers. This article is full of good things from which we quote, for the principal reason that every statement applies to Clinton with as much force as it does Tavares. What is said is a challenge to individual duty, to indi vidual responsibility, and it should be considered as such. We quote, and in order to make the force as direct as possible, the name “Clinton” is sub stituted for “Tavares”: “The biggest thing we can do for Clinton during 1927 is to live in it, work in it, buy in it, play in it, trust in it, and boost for it The results ic. vent a recurrence of the disasters that have befallen the Dole air «race en trants, crews of the Golden Eagle, Miss Doran and the Dallas Spirit. Admiral Ederle, acting secretary of the navy, in Washington predicted the enactment by congress of a law to prohibit long distance airplane “stunt flights” except under rigid conditions. At the same time Admiral Ederle ordered the 40 naval vessels searching the Pacific for the miasing flyers to continue their efforts until Thursday. The original plans were that the hunt should officially terminate tomorrow night, a week from the date of the start of the Miss Doran and the Gold en Eagle in the Dole race. Extension was given as the result of the disappearance of the Dallas Spirit, piloted by Captain William Er win of Dallas, Texas, and navigated “Frankly, I think the Main Streets in the West and South will be better off during the naxt four years than they have been during the past four years—that is, I think the agricultur al sections are now at their low ebb and are due to look upwards. But,” added Mr. Babson in conclusion, “I think that these agricultural sections will enjoy better business whoever is nominated for president in 1928.— Yes, and whoever is elected.
