Dollar Days Again
Today, Friday and Saturday are
Dollar Days in Clinton as will be
given representation in all phases of
civic and business progress. Certain
ly they are more vitally interested in
schools than are men, and yet in the
seen from the paper, with a num- highly centralized set-up of our dras-
ber of merchants participating in the
event sponsored by the Merchants as
sociation.
During the three days special em
phasis will be placed on the dollar
which has lost much of its buying
power. Its strength, will be greatly
enlarged for the trade days.
Dollar Days mean that the buyer is
the gainer in both ways. To sum it all
un—all roads will lead in this direc
tion where the $$$ is king. You are
invited to come and bring the family.
If you are smart and thrifty you will,
not overlook the opportunity, or the-
“dollar days” news in today’s paper.
Our Lawlessness Record
The Chronicle today carries a con
densed statement on law enforcement
in the city the past year as shown by
the report of the city police depart
ment. ^
The report isr one^ of which the com
munity has no right to be proud. To
tic new school program not a woman
is appointed on the state finance j
board, county board of education or j
board of trustees. Why the mothers !
of our children have been ignored,
many people are asking and properly i
so. •
For the new B. and P. club we wish 1
success. We expect it to render a civ
ic service in the community compar
able with that being contributed by
the men.

needed and how much is required to
keep the soil well stocked with a
well-balanced nutrient supply.
But Dr. Peterson points out that
tilth and soil structure must be
good if the plant food is to do its
crop nourishing job. Crops can
starve in the midst of plenty and
fertilizer can be wasted if the soil’s
structure is poor.
Poor-soil structure shuts off drain
age and -ventilation. It keeps air
and water out. Crop roots can’t
penetrate the tightly-compacted soil
to reach needed nutrients.

The State Federation, with which
the new club is affiliated, has as its
objects:
To elevate the standard for women

To promote the interest of business

To extend opportunities to business

Spring Is Time to Check

. "Be ready with gause and first-

caught napping in an emergency,”
is the advice of Miss Margueritte

Miss Briggs suggests that now is
the time to check first-aid supplies,
replace anl&eptics and sa.ves that
have lost their strength and re
plenish tape and bandages to take
