QUALITY SERVICE
STORES TO OPEN
Independent Grocers of City Start
New System Friday As Members
of Nation-Wide Group.
With the opening tomorrow of six
independent grocery stores in the city, •
housewives of Clinton and surround
ing territory will have an opportunity
of becoming acquainted with a new
Quality Service group, into which these
grocers have organized. Stores at
Newoerry and Prosperity are included
in the number in which Clinton stores
are united.
Planning to sell better foods and
give decidedly better service as two
of their strongest fundamentals, the
stores of the Quallity Service group
hope to accomplish much under the
new ‘system that is working highly
satisfactory in hundreds of towns
throughout the country. Buildings of
all the stores will be freshly painted,
and generally the stores will be made
more attractive upon their entry into
the new association. Each .of tl-„'i
stores will retain its individuality,* of
fering its customers the benefits of!
charge accounts and*personal store;
and delivery service for which the in
dependent grocer has been noted.
Final discyssions of plans for the
participating stores were held Tues
day night at a banquet in Newberry
with a large representation present
of merchants, jobbers and food manu
facturers. Officials said that the meet
ing was one of the best that has been
held in the state.
The opening announcement of the
Quality Service Stores will be found
in today’s paper and similar adver-^
tisements will appear each week. Lo
cal grocers included in the group are:
Baldwin’s Grocery, 50-50 Grocery
Store, J. M. Pitts, I. C. Boland, Blake
ly’s and L. V. Pinson.
TOO MANY POSSESSIONS
I know a man who has made a great darlings. They fretted my friend much
deal of money. Having a high sense more than Coolidge was ever fretted
of obligation to his associates and his by the operations of the entire United
job, he continues to work hard. I States. ^
But he feels that it is incumbent! I have never been one of those who
upon him to show that he is prosper-! write disparagingly of money. It is
ous and, as he expresses it, to “getiniagic stuff. It can smooth rough
some enjoyment out of his wealth.” • \ roads, banish fears, and transform hu-
So heTIas built himself a big house; lives.
in the city, another near the seashore
and a third in the mountains. He has i
a yacht, wi^ a crew of twenty-fiv#
men. / “
Surely, you would say, he must be
very happy, having everything that
his heart could desire.
But I hope that as I get older I, may
have sense enough to live in a smaller
house after my children' leave, rather
than build a big house. That I may be
blessed with the wisdom that only he
who simplifies his possessions
really reduce worries.
You can see and •feel the difference.

tually-gpis less pleasure out of living
than he did when he was poor.
I have n<ver seen him seriously
worried about his great business. But
I have seeft him waste an hour on the
telephone fretting over something that
had gone wrong on his boat.
He can make a decision involving
I millions without winking an eyelash.

was ouf of business for a couple of

From this it is often assumed that
true religion demands poverty of its
followers—a wrong idea, as is proved
by the fact that Jesus had other
wealthy friends from whom He de
manded no such sacrifice.
'The trouble with .the rich young
man was not that he had too much
money, but that he had “great posses
sions.” Worrying about his posses
sions so absorbed him that he was no

Death the avalanche of breadstiiffs!
Or, let us suppose we lumped It to
gether. Make a bln, if you please,
and our three great cereal crops
would till a titantic measure one-half
a cubic.mile In dimensions. If It were
set up on Broadway, this half cubic
mile would tower seven times as high
as the Woolworth building, and the
bin would be twenty city blocks long
by ten blocks wide. To grow the
wheat alone required a field as large
118 all of New York state, and the
Milions of bushels of com were grown
on a field as large as New York, with
New England, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales.
And so on rl|[ht down the column,
niiture has been most kind to Amer
ican Country folks. Surely, a far dif
ferent situation confronts us than that
which faced the fathers of Thanksgiv
ing. Contrast this against that first
harvest, and we should the better ap
preciate the reason for onr thankful
ness.—Earl W. Gage, In the Michigan
Farmer.

Expreisinf Oar Gratitude
Gratitude must have an object. It
must recognize the source of the detit.
It must express a feeling toward 8<uiie-
thiiig exterior to Itself. If our favored
position and condition are due to our
own efforts then we owe nothing, hav*-
no reason for gratitude, and there Is
no object to which thankfulness can
be directed. Or If this is a material
world and nothing else, if life is mere
ly a met’hanicai process, tliere Is noth
ing outside of ourselves to whh-h we
should he grateful. And If we are ma
chines, automatons moving nhoiit in
rigid obedience to physical stimuli. au»
sense of gratitude to anything, or for
anythii^, is only a mechanical reac
tion that has^ neither meaniiii
value.—Exchan'ge.
