Township Sunday School Association.
The fifth Sunday union meeting
of Graham Township Sunday School
Association was held at the M. P.
church last Sunday evening at 8
o'clock and was called to order and
presided over -by i'rest. C. W.
Rankin.
The exercises were opened with a
delightful song service by Graham
Choral Union. After devotional ex
ercises and another song, a very in
teresting address was delivered by
Prof. E: P. Dixon, the Principal of
Sylvan High School. Next on the
programme was a quartette by Misses
Stella Nicholson, Feme Henderson,
Cerena Murray and Addie Nichol
son.
Sunday School Census was dis
cussed by Mr. J. Dolph Lang, after
wh ch Mess A. P. Williamß, E. S.
Parker, Jr., Phil. S. Dixon and others
joined in the discussion.
The church was full and the ses
sion interesting along Suaday school
lines.
Corn Well Eared and Filled.
To rebut what some have said
about corn not earing and filling
well, Dr. Will S. Long, Jr., who uas
several small lots about town in corn,
has shown us some samples. An
ear had on it 24 rows of grains—the
number of rows is usually about half
that—and it did not appear it would
have been possible to put on another
grain unless the grains had been
smaller. Thena well filled ear of good
size had grown directly out from the
top of the stalk that pushed itself
high up, but when the ear became
weighty the two-foot long ear-stalk
turned tbe ear earthward and held
it in convenient reach. The Doctor
says he has one lot that he believes
will yield around 100 bushels per
acre; that others had said they hud
never seen such fine corn. From
his statement it appears that his corn
is going to be about all that he could
wish, and it appears, too, from state
ments made by others that the crop
is goifig to be plentiful.
Mrs Taylor Entertains. N
On Tuesday evening at her home
on Albright Avenue, Mrs. J. N. Tay

Floods Cause Postponement of Juna
luska Conference.
Flood conditions in North Caro
lina and the consequent interrup
tion of railway traffic made neces
sary a postponement till August
15-20 of the great conference of
Methodist men which was to have
beet held August 1-C. Luckily
most of the speakers engaged were
available also for the latter date,
so the program will be carried out
substantially|as planned. A state
ment regarding the matter issued
by John R. Pepper of Memphis
and E. U. llawlings of Nashville,
President and Secretary respec
tively of the Laymen's Missionary
Movement of the M. E. Church,
South, says:
"This clearly unavoidable
change is regretable frotp a hu
man standpoint, but is one of
those things against which human
foresight is helpless. Hence we
accept it without abatement of
enthusiasm or hope. The indica
tions from every part, of the
church are so cheering that the
postponement will not prevent a
great conference. Arrangements
for entertainment will be in excel
lent order and all other plans only
the more perfect. Let all unite
to make this the greatest confer
ence inj>ur history;"

S TITOS ftetcults diverted tho rt»cr
to renovate the Augean stables
"Clean Up" lias bad Its place In
the world's vernacular. With
Spring tho desire to refurbish comes
■ubconsclously Into the hearts of men
and women, anil communities. But
without direction and susuyned effort
the expression of that desire, In the
form of tho ordinary "Clean Up Day"
or "Week," Is apt to re&ult In a super
ficial sally against filth. " '.
Yeara ago Allen W. Clark, a St. Louis
editor, made up his mind that this
natural "Clean Up" Instinct could be
turned to account, that It could be de
veloped Into a real campaign working
toward definite Ideals and accomplish
ing permanent results. And so, hi May,
1012, Mr. Clark founded tho National
"Clean Up and l'alnt Up" Campaign
Bureau,' with headquarters In St.
Louis. ITo hoped that a thorough-go
ing movement, nntlonal In Its Bcope
and practical In Its principles, might
take the place of the "annual bath"
Idea as expressed In the old-tlmo "clean
np day" or "week."
A National Civic Movemant.
For four years the scope of the Na
tlonal Bureau's service has rapidly ex
tended until this year It Is co-operating
with more than 0,000 local communi
ties In tho organization ant! direction
of real "Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paigns, not "dnys," or "weeks." Con
tinuous campaigns for home* and
hometowns beautiful, sanitary and
safe, conducted by permanent commit
ters, and involving tho co-operation of
city and town officials, club womon,
commercial organizations, the children,
Are prevention Interests, all business
used and property owners, Is the goal
aimed at by all of the Notional Bu
reau'* propaganda.
Mr. Clark declares that the bane of
any community Is tho citizen who lacks
even a somblanco of Interest In the
community, and that, strange as It may
seem In a democracy, absence of this
Interest seems to bo pretty generally
preml«nt In the average American
community. Such a citizen would havo
"Til* Town" or "The City," whatever
those names may signify when tho
body of citizens Is eliminated, keep
the streets and alleys clean, prescrvo
the public and Individual health, elim
inate nuisances, make everything In
town spick and span and satisfactory
—while the citizen alu back and
looks on.
Tho real "Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign, organized on the plans of
the National Bureau, gives everyone
something definite to do to help make
their hometown beautiful, sanitary anil
safe. And the campaign's «*luratlonal
Influence should work steadily tho
year 'round and year after yenr, auto
matically eliminating many uulsances
caused fortnerly by carelessness or
thoughtlessness of property owners
and tenants.
