EASTERN STAR HOLDS PUBLIC INSTALLATION MISS GERTRUDE DULA, Editor and Business Manager. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and lie who plants kindness gathers love. &t. Basil. EVER.READY MEDICINE Dr. Welsh, writing in Medical Life, has this to say about the benefits of hearty laughter, a medicine ever ready and exceedingly cheap: “It is one of the most natural things in the world. Yet how many physicians are thebe who insist that their patients must laugh heartily a number of times a day, even though they may have to laugh without very much reason? Of course if there is a good joke that tempts to laughter, then the laughter is ever so much more spontaneous, is deep- «r, ventilates the lung&, stimulates the heart and sets the blood coursing throu^ Uie body, and makes all the organs do their work better. To al low patients who are suffering from deperession of any kind, or who are over-solicitous about themselves, to ^o away from the physician’s office without urging them to try the effect The ladies of the Order of the Eastern Star held a public installa tion of officers at the Masonic Hall Monday night, March 18th, at which time a large number of members and visitors were present. The officers in stalled for the ensuing year were: Mrs. D. M. McIntosh, Worthy Mat ron; Mr, J. N. Nesbitt, worthy pat ron; Mrs. Rose Charles, secretary; Mrs, J. M, Moody, treasurer; Mrs, Don Gosorn, conductress; Mrs, Mol- lie Davis, assistant conductress; Mrs, C, S, Nobjett, chaplain; Mrs. Beech er Waldon, Marshal; Star Points, Mrs. D. F. Arney, Mrs. J. N. Nesbitt, Mrs. Will Grant, Mrs. George Hyams and Mrs. Logue Lackey. The cere mony was both beautiful and im pressive. After the officers had been con ducted to the respective places, Mrs. D. M. McIntosh, Worthy Matron, who begins her second year as pre siding officer, graciously welcomed to the meeting all members and visi- to^rs. There followed three short talks which were thoroughly enjoyed by those present. The speakers were Mr. V. Nolan, principal of the Old Fort school; Mr. W. W. LeFevre, Master of the Masonic Lodge, and Dr. D. M, McIntosh, past worthy pat ron of the Order, who assisted in the installation of the new officers. LOCAL AND PERSONAL ITEMS OF INTEREST Wm.

H. ame determines to make a new will HIGH SCHOOL PLAY THURSDAY EVENING The Old Fort High School wilf pre sent its commencement play Thurs day evening, March 28, at 8 o’clock in the high school auditorium. The story of the play is as follows: i Twenty years before the opening of j the play, Madame Charte?is, an oldj Southern aristocrat, banishes her on- j ly child from her house because of! an unsuited marriage. Her daughter dies in poverty, leaving her only child, Enid Bellamy, to eke out her living in the cotton mills. An old friend of her mother’s and a settle ment worker, Miss Rosie Winterber- ry, finds her fainting from hunger at the loom. She takes her away and determines to appeal to Madame Charteris in behalf of her grandchild Madame has become an invalid and is completely under the influence of her nurse, an unprincipled English woman. Madame makes a will leav ing her entire fortune to the nurse and her sister. Madame refuses to allow Enid to come to her house, but the sight of her grandchild’s suffer ing softens her heart and the little white room is opened for the first time in twenty years, and Enid contes home. Mammy Judy Johnson, the old black servant, decides to get married, - and Miss Winterberry and Enid attend the wedding, much to the disgrust of Caroline Hawke. Mad- potent agents for good, so far as the physical being is concerned. “Laughter, however, not only does the body good, but it does the mind good. It has been said that if you pull down the corners of your lips and keep them down, after a time you feel as glum inside as you look from the outside to those who may happen to be gazing at you. If, on the other hand, you turn the comers of your lips up and keep them there, it becomes impossible to feel glum inside after a while. The James- Lange theory of emotions was that the body is affected fitst by the emo tions, and then the mind. They said we did not feel bad and then cry, but something tempted the tears to come from our tear-glands, and then we felt bad. On the other hand, some thing titillated us to laugh with our bodies, and then we felt joyful and free-hearted interiorly, “This theory has not been gener ally accepted by psychologists, but undoubtedly it has- a germ of truth in it, and it is well to counsel patients to try to overcome the moodiness and introspection to which they are so prone by the deliberate cultivation of habits of laughter. There is a very old proverb which says, ‘Laugh and grow fat.’ It is well known that peo ple who laugh actually do grow fat rather readily. The obverse of the proposition is, however, probably as true as the converse, ‘Grow fat and you will laugh,’ It is surprising how difficult it is for thin people to laugh often. They barely crack a smile. On the other*hand, stout people laugh very readily.”—Christian Endeavor. which terminated a most interesting meeting. VALUE OF PUBLIC LIBRARY The Public Library of Old Fort is proving more valuable all the time. If every one could but realize what it means to have access to good books—a Library is not a building, nor a collection of dead and dusty books, but a living, active agent of service. The Library is a community information service station. William Jennings Bryan said: “The system of free public libraries now being established in this country is the most important development of modem times. The library is a center from which radiates an ever widening influence for the enlighten ment, the uplift, the advancement of the community.” Theodore Roosevelt said: “After the church and school, the free pub lic library is the effective influence for good in America. The moral, mental and material benefit to b^e derived from a carefully selected col lection of good books, free for the use of all the people, cannot be over estimated. No community can afford to be without a library.” Public libraries are necessary for the education and betterment of the people.—Sir James Barrie. The public school is for but one portion of the community, the young portion, while the public library for all, young as well as old, for those of limited knowledge and the more learned and accomplished alike —Wm. E. Foster, Librarian, Provi dence. ' We all know well enough what it means to have a public library, so now let’s all boost it, work for it and help it grow. .Here a few of the many new books you will find on our library shelves: The Cavalier of Tennessee, by Mere dith Nicholson; The Handsome Man, by Margaret Turnbull; The Green Murder Case, by S. S, Van Dine; by Margaret Ped- Hawkins, S. L. Noblett, who attended the State convention of Woodmen in Charlotte last week, has returned home. Mr. Noblett was a delegate from the Blue Ridge Camp of Old Fort. Dr. W. A. Robinson left last week for River Bend, N. C., where he will locate as company physician for the, Duke Power Company. Mrs. Robin son and sons expect to move to River Bend in June. Mrs. Chas. Steppe, state president of the Supreme Forest Woodmen Circle, and Mrs. Lee Jordan, delegate from Rhododendron Grove No, 70 of Old Fort, who attended the State convention at Charlotte the past week, have returned home. SOCIAL AFFAIRS. Miss Maude Crawford entertained her bridge club and a few specially invited guests on Thursday evening. Among the special guests was Mrs, Barney, who received high score prize as well as an attractive guest prize. An elaborate salad course fol lowed the games. in favor of her grandchild. Katherine Hawke (the nurse) secures the new will and determines to bum it. Mam my Judy returns from the church in a towering rage, having been deser ted at the altar by the prospective groom. She has the wedding license and by mistake the nurse gets this and burns it thinking that it is the new will. Madame dies and as the new will cannot be found the nurse and her sister are declared the heirs. On the night of the inaugural ball, two years after the death of Mad ame, Mammy Judy finds the will and the Southern Cinderella comes into her own.

SCREEN’S TWO BLOND THE UNKNOWN TEACHER I sing the praise of the unknown teacher. Great generals win cam paigns, but it is the unknown soldier who wins the war. Famous educators plan new systems of pedagogy but it is the unknown teacher who delivers,' and who guides the young. For him no trumpets blare, no chariots wait, | Bitter Heritage, no golden decorations are decreed, ler; The Father, Katherine Brown; He keeps the watch along the bor- dei*s of darkness and makes the at tacks on the trenches of ignorance and folly. Patient in his daily duty, he strives to conquer the evil powers which are the enemies of youth. He awakens sleeping" spirits. He quickens the indolent, encourages the eager and steadies the unstable. He com municates his own joy in learning and shares with boys and girls the best treasures of his mind. He lights many candles which, in later years, will shine back to cheer him. This is his reward. Knowledge may be gain ed from books, but the love of knowl edge can be transmitted only by per sonal contact. No one has deesrved better of the Republic than the un known teacher. — Dr. Henry Van Dyke in University News Letter. Mrs. Barney was again honored on Friday evening by Mrs. D. T. Roughton, when four tables were in play. High score prize was won by Miss Gertrude Dula, and again Mrs. Barney was honored with a guest j prize. Mrs. Roughton was assisted by j Mrs. Geo.
