We want to let the people of Con cord know that Wineooff has one of the strongest school teams in the county. Every berth is held by strong occupants who know their duty.

Winecoff is a stiff team with hard hitting players. Once more we play another team on our court. We have lost two games so far. But fans, Friday is one day we are going to try our best and win a game. If we get beat we will get beat trying. Come one. come all, we take on as our opponents the team from St. Johns school. It should be a very interesting game for . every one. Henry Blaokwelder preached at the Hartsell Mill Ch-rch again Sunday night. His subject was as follows: “The Four Kinds of People."

Fifteen Years Ago He Was a Wild Rad ical—Now He’s World’s Sternest Dictator Premier Benito Mussolini * By XEA Service Rome. March 30.—Fifteen years ago the authorities of northern Italy were greatly exercised over the activ ities of a wild young socialist lead er. He had a great following and feared nothing. He was a radical of the "reddest” type. Violence was a ma jor item on his program of social re form. The Italian police were not the on ly ones who were aware of his ex istence. Police in Switzerland and France knew him, too; had arrested' him. indeed, for ultra-radical activi ties. All in all. it was quite agreed that this young man, by name Benito Mus solini, was a dangerous revolution ary. leader of AuL>cracy That was fifteen years ago. To day Mussolini stands as chief pro tagonist of the forces of autocracy, leader of the foes of liberalism—dic tator of the Italians, spiritual suc cessor of the tirst of the Caesars, put there by the force of his own indom itable will. The wild radical of pre-war days has mounted to the seats of the mighty. In the rise, his cloak of radicalism hats been sloughed off like Mitchell at the home of Mrs. Cooks, the hour being 2 o'clock. A record attenedance is desired. The Ladies* Missionary Society of this place, met Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Randolph Wineooff. with Mrs. W. H. Mitchell as leader. The program consisted of scripture reading, discussion of the scripture lesson by the leader; several songs; discussion of the Japanese immigra tion question by the leader; sentence prayers, reading: There’ll Be Room in • Heaven by Mrs. A. W. Winecoff; Bi ble character quessing game, conduct ed by Mrs. S. W. Cooke. Reading, Little Boy Blue, by Mrs. W. H. Mitchell. Quite a little bit of busi ness was disposed of and records and reports were shaped up to be sent into headquarters. Also Mrs. 11. A. Scott, the delegate to the district conference, gave a very interesting report of the conference. After the program. Mrs. WinecofT as sisted by Mrs. Hugh Goodman, and Mrs. S. W. Cooke served tempting re freshments suggestive of the Easter season. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. Joe Stuart^ Mrs. Laura Stuart is quite sick at her home here. Miss Gladys Goodman and Annie Cline Rarnhardt came in Wednesday night from N. C. C. W. to spend the spring holidays with their respective parents. CORRESPONDENT.

Order It Through Your Grocer) Pelivcred Fresh Bv«y Day an outworn garment. He is the most picturesque charac ter in the world today. And there is drama in the story of Mussolini. He was born in ISB3 in the moun tainous district of Romagna. His father was a blacksmith, and a wild eyed. radical one, to boot; bin mother had been a school tearfier. Till- fam ily lived in poverty. netting an Education Through sacrifices on the part of his parents, young Mussolini attended such schools as were available, get ting about what would be equivalent in this country to a high school edu cation. Then he flung himself into the socialist cause. But before he could settle 'down in his home town he must satisfy rtie restless urge that demanded that he travel. So. early in 1002, he borrowed a small sum from a friend and set out. By the time he reached the Swiss border the money was gone. He went on afoot, sleeping where he could and getting odd jobs here and there to keep from starving. He staying two months in Switzer land, studying and usiug his eyes, gripping his youthful theories of so cial upheaval and reform more and more closely. He led laborers in (-> Printed walls now the vogue i -- - - Leading architects and interior deco* er- rators are specifying painted walls.

Beaten by poverty, unable to get work, he drifted back home. There he subsisted for a time on odds and ends of literary work, translating tne works of the German Heind, for ex ample, for some five dollars or so, try ing unsuccessfully to secure a town clerkship, teaching school for m time in a country town —and always tak ing ,an active part in the doings of fbe socialists of his neighborhood. The police dogged his footsteps con tinually. Disgusted, he went -So FAnce. These too he gained bo* turiety as a radical agitator. He led strikes, participated in riots, felt the hands of the police on his shoulders, and eventually, was deported. He took refuge in Switzerland. He stayed in Switzerland for seven years. He studied sontantly. doing odd jobs to pay for his books and lodgings, and always dipping into the activities of the radical clement. At length his fiery advocacy of socialism got him into trouble again, and the Swiss deported him. Again he Went back to Romagna. Twice now he had left home to seek his fortune, and each time be bad come back penniless and in bad re pute. An inauspicious start, per haps? It may have Heerned so at the time, particularly to his rough old father, who wanted him to content himself with a blacksmith's life. Mussolini entered newspaper work, rising at last to the editorship of the official socialist organ. Avnnti. And then the war broke out. Mussolini for War Here came Mussolini’s break with the socialists. The socialist party was all for neutrality. Mussolini cried loudly for entrance in the war, !on the side of the alllies. He was .expelled from the socialist party; he continued to ahout, this time through the columns of the Milan paper, Pol - 010 d’ltalia, of which tie became edi tor. Italy finally entered the war. Mus solini’s agitation had helped. And when war was declared Mussolini was one of the first to volunteer. He saw active service with the Bersagliere, being wounded twice nnd scorning a safe behind-the-lines job that a politician offered him. He was decorated for bravery. After the war he went back to big newspaper. Gone were his socialistic leanings. The tide of communism be gan to run high among Italian work ers. Mussolini scowled. Ten years previously he would have cheered'. Strikes became almost daily events. The government seemed powerless, Industry was paralyzed. And Mus solini banded together a few dozen friends, sturdy young war veterans, into a black-shirted organization that was to become known throughout the world—the Fascist!. Gaining Potrtr The Fascisti slowly gained strength. They drilled. They became a compact unit, welded together by perfect dis cipline and by a unanimous regard for Mussolini, .the 1 cades. ’ Their moves at first were sporadic—direct ed against a small-town strike here, a minor radical weekly newspaper there. As always, Mussolini preferred action to words, so the Fascisti used clubs and revolvers rather t|ian pamph- saturday, April 3, 1 92 ® lets. The reaction to the war-born radi calism that had swept Italy was set tinr in. More,and more people flocked to- the flndcisti. The body be came stronger nnd ever stronger. Then came the climax. A nation wide strike was called in the summer of .1922. -While the government stood powerless Mussolini and his Fascisti put it down. Then, in triumph, the black-shirts moved on Rome, “cap tured" it, turned statemen out ol office —and Mussolini became premier. From then on the tale is familiar. Bit by bit Mussolini gathered power, such as no ordinary premier ever held, into his hands. One by one the constitutional limitations were swept away, The Fascisti, nominally "state police" and "national guards" became the army, answerable only to Musso lini. Opposition newspapers were suppressed. The parliament became a collection of puppets, moving in obedience to the scowling dietatoi Who pulled thq strings with only a pretense at concealment. Mussolini's word Is law in Italy; it b*s been since he became premier. Queen Elizabeth of the Belgians has been made a doctor, honoris causa, of the University of Lille- The honor, whic is the first of the kind ever given by the university to a woman, was bc«towed on the Queen in appreciation of her help and ef forts during the war.
