Much is said and written about folks who live beyond their means nowa days, but do you remember when a $6-a-week clerk bought hi s sweetie an $18 toilet set? We are told that the tendency in school these days i s to develop origin ality in the student rather than slavish adherence to precedent. Yeah, we’ve noticed that in the original way in which many present day pupils spell, to say nothing of what they do to the multiplication table. Sh-h-h-h,! If you want to know what is going on in a town get hold of a newspaper from that town. If you want to know what kind of a town a town is, get hold of a newspaper from that town. If you want to know if a town has a live, aggressive and progressive bunch of merchants get hold of a newspeper from that town. If the paper is filled with good, well writ ten advs., you can be sure there is a live, up to date group of merchants andyou can be equally sure that there is a good community and a good town. Good communities draw good merchants and good merchants adver tise.—Exchange. We certainly hope that the above yardstick.will not be used in measur ing Barnwell and some other good towns in this good section. Once upon a time there was a g«>od town in which all of the good meehants adver-1 trie elevators. dren in the home that she i 8 clean within and has had cleanliness wiftiout strongly stressed? This project a s do many other 8 receiving government aid at the present time needs and deserve s the Sympathetic interest and hearty co-operation of the general public. Instead of supplementing and boost- ing them, are we not as individuals and organizations waving our re sponsibility? While not in actual words, perhaps, but our general atti- titude is “Let the government do it ALL”. We wish for the continuation of this particular project. It fill s a real need of both races. Louise McNab. Our Debt to Edison It is impossible to estimate what we owe to Edison in dollars and cents. The whole principle of mas s production which was the basjg of our rise as an industrial nation, was made possi ble by him, and that principle did more to increase employment than any other work system. Not only did he found, or cause to be founded, hundreds of new enterprises, but those industries gave rise to the employment of mil- fion s of men and women. Perhaps the simplest way of under standing what we owe to Edison is to try and imagine the world today without the benefit if his inventions. Suppose we took, electric light and power out of our factories and our machine shops. Suppose we took it away from our transportation. We cannot imagine going back to candles, oil lamps or gas light. We cannot imagine homes without power to run oil heaters, ice boxes, radios, vacuum cleaner 8 and a hundred other things. We cannot imagine factorie 8 and ma- chine shops without power, for with out it all modern productive processes would be paralyzed. We cannot im agine business offices without ma- ehine 8 such as the typewriter, mimeo graph, the Ediphone, accounting and bookkeeping machines and the time clocks. And remember that none of the modern, many-stored office build ings would be possible without elec- tiaed their good good* in the good low ns good newspaper. All faii*y tale* begin with “once upon a time.” Mra. W. B. Norria. Turn to transportation—without Edlaon'ii first planning there would he no trolley cars, no electric trains, no subways and no traffic by bus or truck.

Constructve programs have a way of enlisting the interest of most peo ple who know about them. At the colored school building in Barnwell, there is being given a six- weeks practice course of study for such girls a s could physically qualify. Out of government funds they are given one meal a day and paid one dollar per week. Thi s meal is cooked and served at the school. Mrs. John Hogg i s supervisor and Miss Mamie McNab is her assistant. Upon special invitation it was re cently the writer’s pleasure with sev eral other house-wives to visit this class one morning for the purpose of both receiving and imparting helpful information. 1 ’ We were told in a gen eral way the aim of their work and they in turn asked u s for any helpful suggestions we could offer. The students wore immaculate white caps and gowns. They are intelligent, respectful and eager to learn. Sup plied with note books and pencils they are learning in the “doing’’ through being taught the best methods in cooking and cleaning, besides being given in lecture form, lessons in mor als, dependability, cleanliness, honesty and much else that enters into the making of an efficient and desirable aervant. Is it worth while for one to know in engaging “help” that she is not only trained in many practical ways, but .a 8 she handles our food or our ehil- recordmg pictures, but through his | development of the microphone for telephone purpose* he wa* able to produce the first system of the talk ing pictures. Incidentally, he design ed and built the first moving picture studio. « Apart ftom taking out the first patent on radio, he devised the first effective radio tube, which was de veloped to its present perfection by others, but anyone who has a radio in his home should remember that the power that gives energy to it was de vised by Edison; that the first method of collecting and utilizing etheric wave* was his and' that the first radio tube was his. The invention and development of the phonograph from the earliest form of recording the voice on the tin foil and later on wax cylinders, and finally on the present type of disc, wa s all due to Edison. It is to him that we owe the ability to reproduce over and over again the greatest music of the masters or our latest popular songs. It would be possible to draw up a tremendously long list of inventions which Edison gave u s outside of the fields of light, power, transmission, communication and entertainment. It is worth remembering alway s that he first made possible modern production of cement. He designed and poured the first cement house. He made pos sible the building of the great cement highways which link every part of the country. In the field of chemistry only a few people realize how great a chemist Ed’ison was, apart from being an elec trical engineer. We owe to him the proces s of producing synthetic carbolic acid and many other chemicals. It doesn’t matter what we do, or where we are, the hand of Edison is alway 8 at our elbow, helping and aid ing in everything we do, relieving the drudgery and backbreaking labor which used to exist. This is the debt that we owe him. He wa 8 perhaps the greatest friend humanity has ever had.
