The residence of Gaston Neill
on RFD 2 has been brightened up
with a coat of paint and looks
enough better to pay all expenses.
We are glad to see country people
taking pride in their surroundings,
and hope the example of Mr. Neill
may become epidemic.
News came here by telegraph
today that San Francisco had been
visited by a very destructive earth
quake. Many of the finest build
ings in the city were destroyed,
among which was the city hall
building which cost seven million
dollars. The water supply was cut
off, fires were burning all over
the city and buildings were being
dynamited to check the ravages
of the flames. The loss of life was
reported at 2,000. Our local people
who have relatives and friends are
more than anxious to learn of
their safety.
Welch Galloway has been in
South Carolina this week on busi

We learn that the new bank has
at last found a building to occupy.
It is to be located in the front

return of hair color.

well founded.

General agent J. F. Hays, super

They decided to lengthen the side

The Dunn’s Rock building com

Over $4,000 are now available, and
the books are open for stock sub

getting good brick on short notice
is delaying all of our building,
and the importance of a home

for something to turn up. Why
not make our own brick?

As stated in this column last
week, we want your war time reci
pes—ones that you have originated
yourself or have tried and know
to be successful. We will print
the recipe, with the name of the
contributor, in this column, there
by passing along a war time sug
gestion that may be used by others.
Or, if you know any war time
household hint or suggestion of
any kind, just send that in also
and it will be run in this column,
giving your name as the contribu
tor, unless otherwise specified.
Let's share what we know with
others and pass the good word
along. This little service is volun

greatly appreciated by this column.
So send in your ideas along any
line that pertains to current times.
Summer Fashion Trends
Among the noticeable fashion
trends for the summer, you will
observe that flared skirts are gone
and that soft fullness is in eviden
ce, usually in small pleats, un
pressed. In regard to color and
design, there appears to be no
limitation. Prints are still good,
then next in order of popularity
are, perhaps, stripes and plaids.
Brown, in all its varied shades, is
particularly good, as are also mus
tard gold, jewel green, brick red,
American beauty, deep turquoise
and beige with black or white.
Blouses have returned in all their
former glory,' as has also the two
piece suit dress in stripes and plaid
washable material. Bag, hat and
gloves often match the blouse.
Moon vs Romance
The moon is credited or blamed
for many of the variations of ro
mance, when its beams cast a soft
radiating light upon a romantic
couple nestled comfortably in the
cool of the evening on a park
I bench or grassy plot and cause
a “young man’s fancy to turn to
love." But, did it ever occur to
you that the moon also has an
influence otherwise upon a per
son’s life and characteristics?
There are some who believe that
the age of the moon has decided
influence upon a person’s life and
that there are many individual
personalities that one may derive
from the moon. For instance, here
are a few illustrations, and you
can figure it out for yourself if
you believe in such nonsense: The
child born before the moon is 24
hours old is exceptionally fortu
nate. He will live long and hap
pily. Children born on the second
day of the new moon will be
strong, healthy and persevering.
Children born on the third day

Those born on the fourth day of
the new moon have a tendency
to contract serious ailments. Their
intelligent minds, however, will
help them avoid serious trouble.
Etc., etc., etc.
Wise Sayings
No hat covers all wisdom. Lives
are measured by actions, not years.
We carry our greatest enemies
within us. A sunny heart makes
a sunny world. No poorer music
than singing your own praise. The
most loving are the most lovable.

What accounts for the amazing performance of
American planes today? First, they are superb planes
manned by skilled pilots, and in the second place they
are properly maintained. No machine of any kind
can perform its best unless it is properly maintained.
That applies especially to your present car . . . which
in all likelihood is a “duration” model. Do not neglect
it.
