THE REAL CAUSE OF Ol R PROGRESS. The people are the real cause of the Q progress of North Carolina. S Natural advantages and wise lead ership have played their part, and a big one. to be sure, but just the same , it has been the character of the OP pci cent. American citizenship that has given North Carol na the leadership over Southern States and a place near the lead in comparison with or her States. Robert TV. Winston, wrvng In -V These United States says wisely that 4* ‘‘North Carolina’s development is the ft triumph of a vigorous middle class. The State never had the aristocratic 5 traditions of either Virginia or Jj* South Carolina. ** * The lesser gap J; between high and low in North Car- olina in ante-bellum days has been re flected in a greater readiness to wel come new ideas, a lack of reverence ■fe for old allegianc*e and preconceptions. True, the dead hand of the past seem / to have us firm a grip here as m elsewhere in the first quarter of a X; century after Appamattox. but more f recent events have proved that this was not so. ♦ * ♦ .Jfc “While South Carolina and Georgia <* have been worshipping at the altars ;* of such gods as Blease and Tom Wat- JC son, North Carolina lias been heeding J the qdvice of Aycock. Mclver, Alder- V manAand others with a passion for > KSuoc racy and democratic edu -pJltion.” In other words North Carolinians recognized every one who prov .. ed worthy as "F. K. V.'s" We have • worked on a common level, without ® tradition and sentiment wliieli gave ..t- reeognition only to those persons who were horn on certain family trees. It •» 'ls the "vigorous middle class." to be ffi sure, that has made North Carolina. .'.{K along with - thejr determination not to E centralize population in large cities. tv ANOTHER DRY SUMMER? Already scarcity of water is prov i s: lug a menace to farmers in sections of m“: North and South Carolina and Flor . ida. Crops are growing slowly and those that are growing seem ]Hirelnsl and withered. (Sy- After the drought of last summer fe , the public seemed to tuke for granted! that there would be plenty of rain I rat* this year. There was u<> reason for! SjifS this-bclief except that a« a rule there j are never two concurrent dry seasons. I S But if there is not au abundance of rain in the ueur future the dry spell jSj of last year will be as uothing corn jg; pared to this year’s drought. K Despite the rains anti snows of the ■K wipley.fi stpaius, springs and walls gS neWi; folly reached juumtalcy before this spring's cby spell -started. ft is g a fact that wells in this county arc ip| already Nlow’ug up in their supplies' jo*- and several farmers within the j*ast! several weeks have found it necessary H! /to deepen their wells in order tq |et ra!? the necessary suply of water. -’"That condition exists in Cabarrus g county today, and we are told that . more rain has fallen here than in some other counties in this State, South Carolina and Georgia, f Concord will have its new impound ing dam completed about August first. Unless conditions change J greatly this additional water supply , will be gladly welcomed. „ DR. POTEAT TO RETIRE. L - There is a strong feeling at Wake Forest that Dr. William Louis IV teat will retire in October as presi dent of Wake Forest College. This does not mean that he is to sever ■ all connections with the college. It _ means rather that he will become president emeritus after serving 20 ■ years as head of the institution. Some months ago I)r. Poteat let it : be known that he wanted to give up ) the active presidency of'-the iustitu * tion when he becomes 70 years of age. j He will reach that age in October l and unless more attacks are made on him it is likely that he will then re -1 side. Dr. Poteat is not going to retire | under tire and we admire this deter- I minatiou. He would have quit some 1 time ago perhaps, had not an effort 1 been made to put him out because of bis views on evolution. When talk of putting him out was started, the venerable president just started to tight. He will never be put out. and those persons who wish to see another man at the active head of the institution may as well accept this fact. They can get rid of him. may be. by letting him alone but so long as they want to tight he is willing to wage his part of the conflict. Sherrill's New House. Lexington l.ispateh. John B. Sherrill, editor and pub lisher of the Concord Tribune and Times. *uas given his newspaper plant a new and modern home in keeping with the modern type of papers issu ing therefrom. Mr. Sherrill is a credit to the newspaper profession in North Carolina and his long ser vice as secretary of the North Caro-" liiut Press Association was a testi monial; of the high regard in which ail the brtbeen of die press hold him. He'is not now secretary because he insisted on being given n rest,. And the splendid local daily and the fine semi-weekly county paper he edits are both very worthy of the city of Concord and the county of Cabarrus. His son. tV. M. Sherrill, is associated now'ivith his father in operating these papers and lie is likewise a very cap able newspaper man. A newspaper is an evidence both of the character of the man or men who run it and the town or city in which it is pub lished. Hence both Concord and Mr. Sherrill are deserving of congratula tion on the progress of the papers as marked by the provision of a bet ter plant. Extends Congratulations. Morgaiiton News-Herald.

Sherrill, who has owned and edited t*ae Concord papers for more than forty years, is known and admired throughout North Carolina as one of the best newspaper men in the state and it is gratifying to his friends to see evidences of progress and prosperity in his business, as are shown in this new and modern news paper home.

S. SCHOOLS By & W. STRAUS, President American Society for Thrift. rP la of special Interest and Im portance to note that a national conference of educators has been balled to meet In Philadelphia this stunner for the purpose of further ins the thrift educational movement' In this country. Reports will be submitted on the progress that has been made in the work of teaching thrift in the Schools, and plans will be developed tar still further developing this great movement. 5. W. STRAUS It Is appropriate that the con ference will be held in Philadelphia —a city so closely affiliated with the career of America's great thrift ipostle. Benjamin Franklin. It ia appropriate, too, that this confer ence, coming as It will on June 29, will be on the eve of the one hun dred and fiftieth anniversary of tho birth of our nation. Good thrift is good patriotism, and any man who practices it contributes directly to the upbuilding of his country. It will be Interesting to learn just how far the work of teaching thrift In the schools has progressed. It was started at the Panama-Pacifio Exposition in San Francisco in August, 1915, when the Interna tional Congress for Thrift sent reso lutions to the National Education Association, recommending the ad visability of teaching thrift in the schools. Accordingly, the National Committee on Thrift Education was appointed as one of the standing committees of the National Council of Education. During the intervening eleven years, the work has progressed— somewhat slowly at first, but al. ways steadily—and now moving forward with tremendous mo mentum. Let the teachings of thrift in our schools be given every encourage ment. By doing this we shall be lay ing a most substantial foundation for ths future progress of our country. APPROVAL OK ACTION OF GOVERNOR McLEAN Plans For State Institutions Undere Construction Must Be Submitted to Insurance Commissioner. Tribunt Bureau. Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. June H.— ap proval of the action of Governor A. W. Me Lean, as director of the bud get, in issuing instructions that heads of all state institutions with build ings under construction or in con templation, submit all plans to the State Insurance Commissioner to see that they provided for fireproof construction, is being voiced by state officials and the general public alike. Those in the various state depart ments see in the memorandum a dis tinct step forward on the part of the state, inasmuch as the very nature of the instructions arc in the direc tion of permanent construction of all State buildings, be they department al or institutional, as fire-proof con struction and permancy go band in hand- It is pointed out, too. that while at first glance jt may appear that his order will entail additional expense to the state, it in the long run will mean real economy, us re placements will not have to be taken into consideration that maintainanee will be cut to a minimum and that a great saving will result in the low er fire insurances rates that will re sult. In answering several inquires to day concerning his memorandum, dealing with fireproof construction of State buildings. Gov. McLean said: “1 have found that iti a number of eases where buildings have been con structed in the last few years, com plaint has ariseu involving the fail ure to follow the requirements of the tire laws of the State.

"My purpose in issuing the memorandum under discussiou was to request the heads of institutiom-, architects and contractors to act under the supervision of the State Insurance Commissioner in matters relating to fire protection and in all buildings copstructed ill the future, whether they fall within the type i usually referred to as tire proof or semi-fi rep root "I believe the state should adopt the fixed policy of requiring all buildings used ( dormitories or , hospitals at the cha|itJ*!e and cor ,rectloiial institutions^of' the State, jto be of fireproof eops.truetion.

Seatmates, and mutually at tracted, each learns that the other l« on the same mission — bound for Hollywood, as prize winner of a newspaper contest, to get a movie tryout. They have great fun when Hal shares his “ home-cooked" tvp oer box with Betsy, who contrib utet the dessert-candy hearts. CHAPTER II (Continued) Back from the diner at this junc ‘ure came a fat male passenger who lad prolonged his meal hour and •educed his digestion by the use of (iqttids other than those on the iill-of-fare. The Limited strained around a curve, just when the bibulous passenger was opposite Betsy and Hal, and as pediatric steadiness is not a virtue, of the condition he was in, the fat pas senger fell athwart their laps. Whether or not he skinned his own shins or bruised their knees mat tered little; for after he had been fished by the combined efforts of Moysius and Hal from the floor between the seats, thus relieving the pressure of his elbow from Betty’s pet corn, and the two young people sat down calmly again, they i discovered ff\ tragedy that in the excitement had gone unnoticed un til now. The shock of the man's fall had iarred the candy hearts from their hands, and they lay now crumbled Hal, unchilled, helped Betsy in and got in himself. »nd broken on the floor. Betsy »nd Hal, gazing mournfully upon them, could not dispel from their thoughts a feeling—absurd as It might be, yet tenacious —that this trivial little mishap was prophetic. “I hope,” said Betsy, while they gazed uneasily into each other’s eyes, “that's no sign of what’s go ing to happen to us in Holly wood.” CHAPTER 111 Life itself is a good deal like S railroad trip; there’s a lot of fuss and admiration and peeking at the beginning, but usually little atten tion at the ending. Many a way farer whose start was heralded with congratulations and brass has reached the finish uncondoled and unattended in some dark alleyway of night; and many p. traveller who set out to tinkling cymbals steps off uncelebrated at journey's ending, searching in vain for a friendly, familiar face In the jostling crowd. So it was with Betsy and Hal when they stood at last in Los Angeles, on the platform of the Transcontinental’s terminal, which looked more like an olden Spanish mission than a modern railroad I depot. Approaching Los Angeles their enthusiasm had welled up to flood tide. In all the practical worka day world there is no thrill com parable to that of Youth’s first arrival at the threshold of Ambi tion’s Goal. Yet in the last few minutes that marked the crawling of the great overland train into the station, and Us sighing halt, the j eager waters of excitement had re-! ceded and left two throbbing hearts ! stranded high and dry upon grat ing sands of nervousness. The j waves of bop* slapped hollowly ini the furthermost bays of their c0..-| sciousness as they stood uncertain j now lu tbe oasis of their own lug gage on the desert of the station platform. Quite without lutent, they were holding hands.

"Thut is what we have been work ing tof years," said titary W. Wade, State Insurance Commbsiouer. (n commenting upon the order and the 'elaboration upon it made by Gov ernor McLean today. "We feel that “I—l thought there'd be some om . from the studio tc meet us. I Jin'! . think they could have forgoitoa , what time we were due." "What’ll we do? Where shall w» , go?" wanly asked Betsy. “I think I'd better call up the . President of the Amalgamated . Studios,” reflected Hal, aloud; this ! sounded so important that they . both felt a trifle reassured. But: "Camping ain’t allowed here!" , suggested a platform master coldly . in passing. Whereupon the shado* of courage faded again. They wcr» embarrassed to discover that they had been holding hands all tlili while. Hal gathered up their bags . diffidently, while Betsy quavered. “In the contest announcement u | said that ‘the fortunate winnci ; would be welcomed with acclaim’— * | "HEY!” ' Startled, Betsy and Hal turned ; in the direction of this stentorian hail, and observed with hope that a liveried chauffeur, beside a dusty limousine, was beckoning tenta tively to them. He was a blase Native Son, that dhauffeur, wh» ' might oven then have been pruning orange trees did not the studios of Hollywood's celluloid mushroom in i dustry offer less labor—and more pay. He did not stir out of his tracks, but made the young hope fuls walk up to him. Then, unpry- ; ing a secondhand toothpick from his front teeth he waved it at them inquiringly. ! "Are you the kids who copped the Amalgamated’s latest Person ality and Popularity contests?" “Yes!” cried Hal and Betsy In unison, mistaking his sarcastic naming of the contest in full for s sign of its importance. Betsy wn \ thrilled to the tips of her pin | toes, and whispered to Hal: | “A chauffeur and a limousine to meet us. Imagine that!” At that moment Betsy had not a i doubt but that if Radian Duckson saw her the famous vamp would i turn bilious with fear for the safety !of her laurels. But Betsy's thrill was of brief life. In Hoosac Falls Betsy, as the prettiest girl in the. county, had come to accept the ogling of men ; familiars and - 'stt-anfebrs ’alike—a* j one of the penalties of beauty. SI e I was used to hearing men suck I their breath a bit. And to seeing, v ! sudden dull flame in their narrowed I eyes, when first they faced her. Now she was afforded her first 1 real shock of contact with the .tinbv , ing picture industry when 3he foupd herself realizing—not with -1 nut a certain amount of hurt van ity, so accustomed to homage had she become!—that this chauffetjj was not displaying the slightest interest in her. Not the merest flicker of admiration batted his eyes as he stared impersonally at her. In studloland, where beauty is a girl’s stock in trade, there are but the same number of degrees of pulchritude as of virtue —two, good and bad. The one excites no more attention than the other. “Well," instructed the ebauffe distantly, "pile i». I don’t kno why, but they sent me from the studio to'play nursemaid to you.” He made no effort to lielp Hal place the luggage in the car, but got back into his own driving seat with the listlesahess of a workman who deals too ' much, with beauty and too little with brains. Hal, unchilled, helped Betsy in. and got in him3elf, after cramming in the suitcases; but Betsy, who, being a woman, felt much mogjf than Hal saw, mentally made if note to complain to the President of the Amalgamated Sudios that he ought to discharge this chauf feur. All Hal's favorite heroes t» screen plays were uniformly genial and friendly toward business in teriors; so, in his best Centipeut drug store manner, he settled hack in the seat beside Betsy, crossed his legs, and as much to show ofl before her as to extract informs tion from the chauffeur, he sd dressed the latter. “Well, buddy, whero do ve gr from here?” Betsy had scented the hint of h. first lesson. Now Hal was to le?- p his; to wit. that ip studio lant! there are many degrees of hard and frigid; and even .*0,.0 o. the chauffeurs cannot •» hvib.t! with offhand affability, ilia a C-.:; tipede ilivver taxi driver.
