If we could all do as we please, who would wash the dishes? the heme town, Calamity gave them six months—then did his best to make his prediction a fact. He made an ksc pedal effort to be present ai the de mise of as many lines of business as possible each year. He was permanent pallbearer for .retired business firms. He should have been—having helped them to early oblivion. ^ . The trouble with many of us is that He was such a^ cheerful oaf that a we are looking f .r wider fields rather citizen in perfect health upon The flapper thinks a grand piano is one that plays by pushing a button. but the next day, old rnfas sniper come over to set up with me and she started off to praising yore jimson weed liver tonic and proved by show ing how fat her legs was that it cured her and as i remembered that they loked like com stalks the last time i - saw the same, i believed what she sed , and sent a check to the star* and bought 8 trial bottles. i mixed yore inedison with a pint of homebrew and taken a glass full every 80 minutes for 4 weeks, and \ now i am a well man, glory be! i will always praise you and miss sniper for ' helth and strength, so please rite or foam when i ran look for the 12$ you , wil send for this recker mendation. hurrah for jimson weed liver tonic and ai smith.

People were busy, money was working and everybody was prosperous. ’’ One bright sunshiny day, Calamity died. The doctor, who examined him said it looked to him like a case of extreme pessimism.

'] here are all kinds of knockers— of im pending trouble. j Calamity had been such an exjjert howler uaJ was so letter-perfect in that part that no ordinary pe -simist a . many as there are kinds of people., temerity to attempt to take The thriving city i.s filled with boo.st- ^i.s place! .So, on his death, the town ers boosters who so outnumber the along wdthoul a profession- knf)cker.s that their knocking does not gj jfl{,nm-di.sper.ser. count for much. ! j-'jve years later, every street in We like the boosters.

Rut they are always enthusiastic for! , • their home town or the cause in which I ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ they are interested, and they are never to be foumi hanging around some where knocking this and knwking that. .No, a booster is not built that way. We must have these bo(*sters; they are just as necessary to the successful enterprise as daylight is to the earth. Knockers are found everywhere just Nobody’s Business By (iet McGee ■WP Advice To Spring (iardners How to get rid of potato bugs: Catch them and burn them. . . , , How to make hens lay: Don’t let the same as the boosters, but, let us U^p^ fall be thankful for it, the boosters jjgye fresh strawberries: are always far away in the lead; us-^guy them at the market, ually, the knockers can be found in | How to kill nutgrass: Dig it up by the rear, where it is safer for them,, roots and boil it 8 days, perhajis. They flock together, but even | i,o^ to keep weeds down: Throw then they fail to make a crowd, as a i them in the well. . How to live at home: Don’t die. But the greatest booster is he who converts the knocker into a booster —“makes him see the light’’—so that both play the game as team-mate.s ever after. A town ha.s no place'for the knock er—it matters not whether he knocks the town, its enterprises or its citi- zen.s. The man who knwks hi.s fellow- citizen.s i.s a ;;:)or excuse for a citizen extant.

Wyatt and Grafton will probably be in the high hurdles and H. Wyatt the low hurdles. While some good men were lost last year, some of which cannot be re placed, a better balanced team is ex pected to develop, which has a chance af the best season ever. There are two dependable men for each event, while in the past one was usually the maximum. Qpewiwg with—Georgia Athen«r the P. C. team returns to meet David- ■son at home two days later. However, ihis date is n:>t certain yet. The fol lowing week Carolina will be met at ('olumbia. Following this the team will enter the Southern relay carnival at Georgia Tech. Then each week after there i.s a meet; first with Furman, following with Kmory, State and end- ng with the S. I. A. A. The material of the rats is still un known.

You also save on the cost of financing, on any accessories you may want and on the cost of operation, rei^acement parts and service. The economies in distribution are just as important as economies in manufacture in keeping dowm the price of the Ford. The money you pay goes into increased value for the car. It is not wasted in excessively high selling costs. .
