C., MARCH 27, 1»S0 THE GRIEST SCHOOL The Merchants Institute being con ducted here this week by John 'V. Griest of Chicago, has been growing daily in interest and attendance since it opened Monday morning. Merchants and salespeople who entered the “school” the opening day are main taining perfect attendances and are deriving great benefits from the heart-to-heart and practical discus sions that are being delivered by Mr. Griest. He is specific and definite in what he says, his program is con- take stock and see where we are drift ing.

SEC RET OF I'OI'I LAUITY Many folks, particularly young poo pie of reserved natures, often do not understand why they are not popu lar. They (Oivy folks v li) hj.>e ndniTer.- av.d friends. .Many people of f‘iip<'rior in.v’lect look down on popu- l.arity. They say it show.s a too ea-:y- g(»ing naluie.'The latter hold that if a person is to live sincerely and do hi.- I'tity. he :u:ist ' ften antagonize i^h- t'r<, and luuke himself exceedingly unpopular. I’opulniity comes in diffei’ent ways. In the-old dav.s ofTree Ii(iU(^r a lot of I'eople n'.(juired i»opularity hy ihe freedom with which they , uas ed around the bottle.

Many- people win popularity tv free spoqding, by living extrava gantly anil scattering cash in all 3L rertions. On the other hand many people ac quire popularity by devoting them- rtdves to siune public cause, t^ollege boys who carry on student activities, usually acquire popularity. They iire entitled to it because they have to de- vitte much time to maintaining the reputation of their institution in ath letic, literary and other activities. Similarly in community life. Many pix)ple acquire popularity just by giv ing a great deal of effort to public activities, usually more thaji many who criticiw the?n are willing to de vote to such causes. Many people ac quire popularity by the friendly in terest they show everybody, by a win- R<>me .emile and cordial marner. ^ People who !i\*e self-absorbed lives are not popular and do not deserve to be. .Any person can acquire a certain nioaaure of jMjpularity by manifesting inteh’st and doing helpful things for others and {lerforming serviev for the communitv. one. 4.

Some'say it is lack of confidence, but surely they have confideace in their own government. It seems to be a case of opposition to organizing or changing the way of our forefather^, who sold cotton on the old plan. It takes time to bring about a change in Marketing. How, long will the board continue to advance this 16 cents? I can't say. The pool will have to be clsed sometime soon, but how scon depends on the directors. After it clos es cotton will have to be put in on the advance of this fall and in the 1930-31 pool. Can you withdraw after you join? Yes, on four months notice given between April 1 and 15 of any year. When a member is dissatisfied the as- H. D. HENRY F. M. BOLAND H. D.

DR& SMITH & SMITH Optometrists IT’S TIME TO STOP—THINK A Georgia judge said in Iris grand jury charge the other day that hard work, economy, thrift and character are the foundation stones on which America’s greatness has been built. The judge is correct. There is no other way. There is no short cut to enduring prosperity without the prac tice of these virtues. The .very exist-, ence of our government depends upon these qualities. T^ere has grown up in recent years; unfortunately, the, false idea that peo ple can live without work. And many who are accustomed to work decided they Could get along faster by apec- ulation. The recent collaj^e of the aiock market with its nation-wide de moralizing effect, taught many wage earners and people of small means a lesion they will not soon forget. In stallment buying was given a blow that it will take some hard work to overcome.^ Fortunes are not built by speculation, but by hard work, econo my, thrift, and the sooner our people learn this truth, the better for us all. There has not been enough hard and consistent work, while there has been entirely too much reckless spending JULY—Same as June, exc^t fewer weddings and more unemployment and larger furs and still thinner dress es and probably showers and thunder storms after the fourth. AUGUST —Same as July, except worse. Farmers will be eating grass and fishing for a living—waiting and hoping for farm relief. Swimming holes will be patronized freely if 1- piece visibie bathing suits will be per mitted. Look for your wife’s kinfolks and gnats between the 20th and SOth.
