HEALTH IS WEALTH
Health is wealth, someone has
said. It is also happiness, because
to be unhealthful is to be unhappy.
That happiness means health has
a scientific basis, according to a
noted scientist, who has * experi
mented with rats.
Those that have been tamed so
that they could be handled in the
hand do not suffer the ill effects
from experiments as do those that
are wild and afraid during the ex
periment.
This is directly due to properties
of several glands of internal secre
tions in the human, this scientist
says.
Since fear affects health, and
therefore, happiness, wise people
will avoid fear.
To be healthy and fearless then,
is to be happy, which is the goal
of every human being.
PROBLEM REMAINS SERIOUS
Here’s a newspaper classic going
the rounds which points the evil
of attempting to get something for
nothing when it comes to reading
some one else’s paper, without sub
scribing to it yourself, says The
Spartanburg Journal,
i Once upon a time a nickel-nurser
sent his kid to borrow the neigh
bor’s paper, and the kid upset a
hive of bees and soon was covered
with bumps. His father ran to
help him and caught his chin on a
clothes line and sprained his back
and fell and broke a $25 watch. The
clothes pole fell over the car and
, smashed the windshield, and mo
ther rushing out to see what oc
casioned all the excitement, upset
a five-gallon churn of cream into
a basket of kittens, drowning all of
them. The electric flatiron burned
through the ironing board, setting
fire to the house, and the firemen
broke all the windows and chopped
a hole in the roof. Moral— Sub
scribe to your home paper. Don’t
borrow it!
The Opening Of

Just how great the problem of
tuberculosis prevention in the
United Sftites really is was indicat
ed when Miss Jessamine S. Whit
ney, statistician of the National
Tuberculosis Association, made
public an estimate that there are
2704)00 active but unknown and
undiagnosed cases of tuberculosis
In this country^
“The total number of active
cases both known and unknown,”
stated Miss Whitney, “are believed
to number about 810,000. This
figure is arrived at by multiplying
by nine the last, official recorded
number of annual deaths. Experi
ence acquired during intensive
cases-finding surveys shows that
the total number of active cases
whifch can be unearthed in a com
munity, bears a constant relation
to the number of annual deaths.
This is as nine to one. Two-thirds
of these, or 540,000 are known cases
most of them under treatment.
One-third, or 270,000 are unknown
to themselves, their doctors and
the public.” . ^ i
“The problem of finding these
270,000 persons is now engaging the
activities of 1400 tuberculosis as
sociations throughout the country
who are entering on an “early
diagnosis campaign.” It is finan
ced by funds raised on the Christ
mas Seal Sale conducted each year
during the hdliday season.

WE MUST KNOW OUR
COMMUNITY
Newspaper Ad
vertising Value
An Iowa newspaper says: “News
paper advertising is the life insur
ance of any community. Take that
influence out of any town or city
and “the mourners move about Uie
streets; the merchant weeps for
his customers and refuses to be
comforted, because they are not.”
Newspaper advertising has become
such a fixed part of the intricate
mechanism of retail commerce that
the wheels refuse to go around
without the advertising grease. It
is not the mission of newspaper ad
vertising to tell che customer where .
to buy something that he doesn’t
need. It is the mission of news
paper advertising to help a custom-
ed supply his needs satisfactorily,
promptly, ^nd at a reasonable j
price. The columns of newspaper 1
advertising in your home paper is a
‘directory’ to which you can refer
with the assurance that in so doing
you will receive instructions that
will expedite your shopping expedi
tion; tell you where to go, when
and what you can do when you get 1
there. There will be no bewilder
ment, no doubt, no confusion. They
direct you in a manner that re- ,
quires the least possible physical
and mental effort and in that
function minimize interference
with your favorite phantom.’ ”

In Russia
Where ydur heart is, there are
your thoughts also.
Where your heart is, your pocket-
book may generally be found open.
Where your heart is, you have
nothing but an optimistic view
point.
The plain course for every loyal
citizen, then is to place his heart
in his home community And work
for it and boost for it with all of
his energy and ability.
You can’t be loyal to home and
still think that some other place
is a better place to live.
You can’t be loyal to the interests
of this community and have your
heart elsewhere.
You must be convinced in your
own mind that the place where
you live is the best place on earth
to live else you will never be able
to convince anyone else of the fact.
To be convinced of the superior
ity of the place you call home, you
must know all of its good points
and all of its advantages.
Only well informed citizens are
good citizens and you can’t honest
ly place yourself in that class un
til you get all.of the knowledge
that It is possible to acquire about
your community.
First get the facts. Then go out
and tell others.

An Indian rule for planting corn
was to wait until the leaves on the
oak trees were the size of . a squir
rel’s ear.
(The Charlotte Observer.)
Another circumstance to be tak
en into consideration in the now
generally accepted policy of acre
age reduction in the South by
voluntary process, is the rapidly in
creasing production of cotton in
Russia. First direct information as
to what is going on over there in
the way of cotton cultivation comes
through a Paris distfȣitch to The
Wall Street Journal, and it is of a
character to hold the attention of
the Southern planters. The Paris
bureau of The Journal makes re
port that the cotton fields in the
Soviet union covered 3,375,000 acres
in 1931 or nearly double the 2,-
000,000 acres cultivated in cotton
during the years preceding the
World War. This estimate is made
in the French cotton trade by in
terests familiar with conditions in
Russia who have been following
Russian developments concerning
cotton continues to be grown in the
irrigated plains of Central Asia and
only a minor quantity in Trans
caucasia.
According to the Soviet plan a
further increase in cotton-field
acreage of 375,000 acres is called for
in 1932, and the goal is set for 4,-
500,000 acres under cultivation by
1937. In general, wheat and rice
lands have been turned over for
cotton-growing rather than land
which has not previously been cul
tivated.
Until very recently Russia had
been an importer of cotton, parti
cularly of American staples, but
with the rapid increase in native
output the immediate needs of the
Russian mills have been met, and a
few sales of the Soviet product
have been reported recently in the
Liverpool market. America, there
fore, seems not only to have lost a
customer but to be threatened with
some competition from Russia.
t That is not a very pleasant pros
pect, but it is one that is likely to
develop and is all the more reason
why the Southern farmers should
have a caution against over-plant
ing this season.
President Hoover will officially
open the nine-months, nation
wide George Washington Bicen
tennial celebration at noon (East
ern standard time) February 22,
when he will deliver his George
Washington address before a joint
meeting of Congress, assem
bled in the House of Representa
tives in the Capitol. The Judges
of the Supreme Court, members
of the Cabinet, foreign diplomats
and many other distinguished jvisi-
tors also will be present, and the
address will be carried to every
comer of America over a nation
wide hook-up.
Following his address, President
Hoover will be escorted to the East
steps of the Capitol, and will give
the signal for the singing of “Am
erica” by a chorus of ten thousand
voices. It is expected that millions
of people will join in this “sing” as
it comes over the air.
The great chorus gathered at the
Capitol will be conducted by Walter ;
Damrosch and will be accompanied
by the United States Army, Navy
and Marine bands which will play
as a unit under the direction of
John Philip Sousa. An “inaugural”
crowd is expected to be on hand for
these ceremonies.
After luncheon. President Hoov
er, accompanied by the members of
the Unied States George Washing
ton Bicentennial Commission and
the District of Columbia George
Washington Bicentennial Commis
sion will go to Mount Vernon to
lay a wreath on the tomb of the
Father of His Country in the name
of a united nation.
At 3 p.-m. there will be exercises
at the Washington Monument un
der the auspices of the various’pat
riotic societies in the District of
Columbia.
In the evening the George Wash
ington Colonial Costume 3all will
be held at the Mayflower Hotel un-
ucr me auspices of che United
States George Washington Bicen
tennial Commission and the Dis
trict. of Columbia Bicentennial
Commission. No effort is oeing
spared to reproduce the Colonial
atmosphere for this occasion. The
affair is being managed by experts
and every State will* oe represented
by specially invited guests.
While the celebration officially
opens on February 22, Sunday Feb
ruary 21, will be an active Jay in
the District of Columbia as well as
in every city in America. The Unit
ed States George Washington Bi
centennial Commission has sug
gested special religious services ior
George Washington to .be held
wherever people gather to worship.
Response from the various church
organizations to this project has
been remarkable. It is probable
that practically all of the 232,000
churches will hold special services
honoring the First President on
this day.
A folk-masque written especially
for the United States George Wash
ington Bicentennial Commission by
Percy MacKaye will be presented at
Constitution Hall, Washisgton, D.
C., on the evening of February 21.
This masque is being produced un
der the auspices of the United
States George Washington Bicen
tennial Commission and the Dis
trict of Columbia George Wash
ington Bicentennial Commission.
The masque is entitled “Wake
field,” named after the birthplace
of George Washington, and port
rays in symbolic form the story of
George Washington. Five hundred
adults and children are being re
hearsed for this production and the
music will be furnished by the
United States Marine Band. The
folk-masque is being printed by
the United States George Washing
ton Bicentennial Commission for
use in other cities. It is expected
that this masque will be produced
in all the large cities of the Unit
ed States during the Bicentennial
Celebraiton.
During the week of February 22,
motion pictures depiciting princi
pal events in the life of George
Washington entitled “Washington
the Man and the Capitol” and pro
duced by Warner Bros., will be
shown in the Theatres of America
as a feature of the Bicentennial
Celebration. Hundreds of theatres
have already arranged for such a
showing, and, undoubtedly, practi
cally every motion picture theatre
in America will be booked to show
the life of George Washington on
the screen.
