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!

up the scrap paper lying about.the
floor. Just as he expected, in a
very short while the hoys left. 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

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?

Michio Ito, Japanese dancer, plans

he’ll have to do some real stepping to

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

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.
