June Brides. This is the merry month of mar- ria^s. June has come to he the favorite time for weddings. We have no doubt that dv.ring this month several charming daughters of Barn well and other towns in the county will he led to the altar. We want to wish them happiness. June is a veuy appropriate month for marriages. In this month all Nature is gay. The plants are burst ing forth with blossoms, the trees have taken on their summer dress, the sun beams kindness upon the world. Let wedding bells ring, then, in tune with Nature. Despite the mocking of cynics and the pioclamations of pro fessional philosophers, marriage is still the most holy, most beautiful and most desirable institution in society. Therefore as. June appears on the calendar one cannot help feeling a little contented, satisfied with the world, and hopeful for the future. June is the month of marriages—and marriages, for the most part, mean happiness. Kingdoms topple and fall; (political changes bring new condi tions; powerful men descend from their rich estates; change is eternal— but marriage still seems to hold its own! ? Somelhing He Can’t Quite Comprehends By Alben J. Reid Pay Dirt. A town does not need a g“old rush or an “oil gusher” to attract new resi dents and new business. Many towns have sprung into the limelight over night by the discovery within their portals j»f some natural resource lur ing men in the quest for wealth; they have come from all corners of the world to places that seemed to offer the opportunity of building fortunes. But a town may have other asset* than oil wells or gold mines. If the information is broadcast that in a town can be found good wages, pros perity, good business and industrial advantages, the town will grow steadi ly more prosperous and populous, de spite the fact that it lacks the lure of gold. ~ _ . | Thus each town has its own gold mine, its own oil gusher; community prosperity always produces “pay dirt.” The world will come to a town that has what the world wants, he that gold, oil, or merely good living condi- t : ons. -1 Community advertising will attract prospertiy! Without advertising, a town may have many virtues, but no one will know of them. Boost the town to the world and the world will boost the town!

A day or two later, two other little friends dropped in and after a while they were put to work picking up paper. Unlike the others, however, they were willing to do h little work for the privilege of watching some thing that had excited their interest and after all the waste paper in sight i bad been deposited in a trash box, they lingered awhile longer, asking various questions and making com ments on the operation of the machine. The reaction of the two groups of hoys when put to work may or may not mean a thing, but we’d rather bet our money on the ones who we»’o not stampeded at the idea. Edison at Eighty-One. Hats off to Thomas A. Edison! The j great inventor has just outlined a plan I for twenty years’ work. He is eighty- quite at home in some of our modern apartments! A London professor claims to have taught a flea to answer questions by tapping on its head with its legs. Isn’t tapping on,the head generally in dicative of “Nobody Home”? A man convicted of arson received a lenient sentence when it was shown that he was good to his mother-in-law. Some people thought he merited a sus pended - i — —’— child shcula witness. It is the most beautiful mother story ever written. Movietone is the talking news reel. All of the latest current events will be shown, and at the same time every word spoken will be heard, as every sound is recorded as the scenes are photographed. As a special added at traction the Vitaphone will offer three big time vaudeville acts. ‘ / It is impossible to describe this marvelous invention, for to write or attempt to explain them sounds too mysterious.' You will have to see and hear them to really appreciate them. Remember the opening date, Monday, June 11th. These programs will be offered each and every week in the one. Turning to the Farm. Criminologists seem to he turning to the use of the farm in their efforts to solve the crime question. It is he-* ginning to he generally recognized that the wholesome farm atmosphere is not a breeding place of criminals. There arc 150 boys at Berkshire In dustrial Farm who have been salvag ed from the slums of New York or from disrupted homes. These hoys, who defied authority, committed law less acts and give indications that they would grow up to be thieves and thugs, have been sent to the farm to -get- their hearings in life. After several years at the farm, these “hopeless” boys have learned a trade and are equipped for life. They arc kept f:om landing in reform •.schools and are made good citizens. It 'set ms to us that this is about the best plan yet devised for dealing with the “problem boy,” and that it should be universally adopted. It seems to present a modem and intelli gent attack on crime. This method of handling juvenile delinquency seems to affirm the be lief’held by many that such delin quency is more frequent in the big cities than in the smaller towns. That is quite an advanced age for a man to begin work in a new field. But Edison always has been unlike other men. Scoffing at old age, he is (Personally supervising the construc tion of a new- ctiemical laboratory in which he will carry on extensive rub ber experiments. He plans to develop an emeigency rubber industry in the United States. The inventor has in mind new de vices for use in extracting rubber, it is said. He is devoting his entire time and efforts now to tne study of rub ber and its possibilities in the United States, and expects this study to keep him busy for the next twenty years. We humbly extend our best wishes to Mr. Edison, and congratulate him on his discovery of the true secret of longevity—being so interested in some worthy work, so wrapped up in it and fascinated by it, that one simply hasn’t time to stop. How \nany of us at eighty-one— provided that we reach that venerable j age—will he fortunate enough to be i able to look forward to a task of i twenty years’ duration? “1927 Wettest Y'ear Since 1872 in England,” said a headline recently, and many were disappointed when they found the item referred to the rainfall. 1 future with a complete change of pro — | gram every Monday and Thursday.

Wonder if this bit of news hasn’t set some college students think ing? Michio Ito, Japanese dancer, plans a gigantic $3,000,000 dance temple to be built in New York. It seems to us he’ll have to do some real stepping to get that amount of money. A junior at the University of Wis consin defined “gubernatorial” as “per- tairyng to the power of eating.” Some hard-boiled skeptics, unquestionably, will believe that he was not so wrong after all! The horned toad found sealed in a cornerstone, and still alive after 31 years’ imprisonment, was taken to New York. It probably would feel "3 Marvelous Invention In Augusta Next Week The Vitaphone and Movietone, the miracles of the age, the talking mov ing pictures, will open its engage ment at the Modjeska, Augusta, Ga., Monday, June 11th, and special ar rangements are being made to accomo date the crowds that will turn out to witness this marvelous invention. The management wishes to stress the important fact that there will be con- ! tinuous performances from 11:00 a. | m. to 11:00 p. m. Each and every per formance will he complete. , The start ing hours will be 11:00, 1:00, 3:00, 5:00, 7:0$ and 9:00 p. m. The out- of. town! patrons, a* well as the local, can witness a complete performance any time during the day or nighf, and then take advantage of the remarkable l subs that arc to be offered by all local meichants ourir.g the opening week. There will he no reservation of seats, first come first served. The patrons are requested to attend as early performance as possible so as to avoid the night crowds. The admis- sion prices will be 10 cents for chil dren and 40 cents for adults at all performances from 11:00 to 6:30 p. m., children 20 cents, adults 50 cents on and after 6:30 p. m. Vitaphone, the new inventipn that makes the pictures talk, that carries the musical score by one; of the fore most directors of America and played by hundred piece symphony orchestra, together with vaudeville acts intro ducing the biggest stars of the Am erican stage, has been installed at tremendous expense, and it is safe to say that this city wilj ieiyjoy the won derful success that it lias in all other cities where it has been introduced. The opening attraction, Al. Jo,Ison id “The Jazz Singer,” is one of the most beautiful stories ever screened. Mr. Jolson, known the world over as one of the most wonderful lingers of all time, lives the character of & Jewish Cantor who enters the stage and en joys tremendous success, only to be practically disowned by his father, a Rabbi. The picture and story have to be seen to be appreciated. It is a story that every man, woman and Again the patrons are warned to at tend early performances. KANSAS FAVORS GRAVEL HIGHWAY T HE Kansas Highway Commis sion has adopted a definite pol icy of using sand and gravel on all the roads If cah Improve that way for the present. ‘‘Gravel and sand cost only $1,500 tq, $2,000 a mile,” said John Gardner, Highway Director. “By using these materials, which are plentiful In many sections, we can build roads passable at all seasons without difficulty or long delay. They are easy and inex pensive- to maintain. By using the calcium chloride, the gravel and sand are held together and the dust is ob viated. Of Course, these roads wjll have to be rebuilt in five or six years, but we feel that it is better to build that way and get as many people out of the mud as possible ‘ rather ihan build short stretches of more perma nent and more expensive roads, just at this time.” »■ Henceforth, civilisation can better than its highways. More than $1,000,000,000 w T as spent in improving highways of the United States last year. Good roads are a fine thing, but. it is welLJo remember that they lead away from the farm as well as to it. All roads leading to the four gate ways of Yellowstone National park are reported to be in excellent condi tion. The national parks, seven in the United States and three in Caiiada. are how linked together by improved highways. The Defense highway, 1 shortening the distance between Washington and Annapolis, Md. t by eight miles, will be completed this year. Twenty times around the world! Such, at any rate,^ is the distance American motorists could travel on their 500,000 miles of surfaced roads. The Arizona highway department has taken consideration of the pedes trian on the roadway and has made official recommendation that he walk on the left side. Minnesota ha* 10fyj)Q0 miles of pub lie roads of which ;^p)0U are trunk highways treated by special patrol maintenance, on which there has been expended during the past five years $33,000,000 annually. This state is n large user of calcium chloride for dust laying and highway maintenance.
