Mother's Club Meets. 1
The Mother's Club held its June i
neeting with Mrs. W. H. Welch on
today afternoon with fifteen mem- j
ers present, the president presiding, i
in interesting paper on "The Right s
ind Wrong Ways to Train a Child r
he First Twelve Years of its Life" c
ve.s read by Mrs. J. W. Swittenberg. t
i second paper, which is one of a r
eries that will be taken up by taken 1
ip by the club, was read by Mrs. H. 11
j. Prosser, on "The Story of Life 1
or Children." . |.
The main business of the afternoon (
ras a discussion of the kindergarten j or
another year. It was stated by 1
he piesident that Mrs. L. W. Giland
had signified the fact that she
rould be unable to teach in the kin-1
lergarten next session, should it be
ontinued. The club then asked Mrs.
!wittenberg if she would undertake he
position of teacher, with the un- 1
lerstanding that she would engage t
,n assistant?Mrs. Swrittenberg acepted
the offer and will attend the
ummer school at Winthrop, where "
he will take a course in kindergarten 1
rork. A discussion as to the advisbility
of the club's fostering the
:indergarten followed and it was J
inanimously decided that the club
ould take up no better work. Reaarks
by the president and Mrs.
Iwittenberg made it clear to the club ;
hat the kindergarten is supported j
nd the teachers' salary paid by the j
atrons of the kindergarten and not n
y the club.' Last year the club spent *
75.00 in equipping the kindergarten,
nd Mrs. Swittenberg gave an itemiz- i
d account of how this sum was used 3
nd explained that much of the equip- JJ
lent was permanent and could be <f
old at any time. Mrs. Arrowsmith 1
ppointed a committee to secure, if ?
ossible, more coramodius quarters 4
or the kindergarten, as follows: Mrs. <|
?. W. Gilland, Mrs. J. D. Britton,
Irs. E. T. Kelley. The committee *|
ppointed to raise money in June re- J
orted that $10.00 had been realized 4
y the sale of lemonade and sand- 4
riches during court week. The pres- 2
lent stated that the committee for 1
uly would be announced later. 3
It was decided to adopt the plan J
f a year book, as was carried out J
ist year so that the hostesses may 4
now in advance when the club will 1
leet at their homes. The president 1
ailed a meeting of the officers for 3
*uesday afternoon to assist her in J
rranging the year book, which will ?
e submitted to the club at the July 4
leeting. I
At the conclusion of the meeting *
ie hostess, assisted by Mrs. E. C. 3
urgess, served ice cream ana cane, y
Mrs. L. W. Gilland, .
Press Secretary.
To Celebrate The Fourth. *
Arrangements for the celebration *
f July 4th are progressing very fav- *
rably in the hands of the committee ?
imposed of members of the local ?
ost American Legion, as is evidenced ?
y the advertisement appearing in J
lis issue of The County Record. M
The contests in marksmanship with *
mall fire arms is attracting consider- JJ
ble attention from the fast there 5
re quite a number of professed ?
crack shots" in this community. It ?
\ understood that Mr. H. D. Plowden, J'
jrmerly of Manning, and one of the fc
est marksmen in the state, will be 1
I charge of this feature of the pro- J

IEAL MAIN STREET IN THE f
CONQUEST OF CANNAAN" ?
Conquered by Thomas Meighan in j
Pic* are After Many Thrill- g
ing Experiences.
There's a "Main Street," that runs j
hrough "Canaan," the mythical city \
rhich Booth Tarkington wrote about -j
a "The Conquest of Canaan." In j
kvnaan were some who were respecta- j
lc and others who were not. Once j
ou were placed in the latter class, j
t was next to impossible to live down j
he disgrace. 'I
Here, the respectables looked up
o Judge Pike as their leader. His
rord was law. The unrespectable acepted
him because they knew that
le owned their homes, their saloons B
ind had their lives in the hollow of B
us hand. S
As the title suggests, Main Street g
n Canaan was conquered and by two 8
>f the unrespectables, Joe Louden and 5
Iriel Tabor. Ariel was fortunate, ?
:ncugh to inherit money which took , s
ler to Paris. Joe could not bring, I
limself to conform with the Main I \
Street conventions which aroused such y
)rejudice within him that he was ]
I
'orced to leave town to carve out
i better career.
The development of this interesting (
)lot, which brings out the bigness
is well as the pettiness of a middle-,
size town, is illustrated in the Para-;
nount picturization of "The Conquest;
>f Canaan," which will be shown at!
he Academy theatre today and tonorrow.

jouden, stars in the picture and j
