? x J A BETTER NATIONAL TUNE. pEVEMBGE AND PH1LUPS. ffHEN BABIES TWIDDLE TOES. UlUtOADS AND BUSSES. <??? ? Some one not satisfied with the "Star Spangled Banner" of-1 jtred $1,500 for a better national fciae. Nine hundred and fifty-one omposers tried and failed The Star Spangled Banner" will con inue to make Americans stand up. 'o do a thing well you must get fxcittd about it. Socrates, great est Greek teacher of oratory, said, ?To convince others, be yourself convinced." There will be no im j>rov?d "Star Spangled Banner" until real danger inspires ^some pody to produce the right song. * Albert J. Beveridge died last .week, sixty-four years eld, of heart aiseast. An automobile stops when the engine stops; a man, when his heart stops. One hundred men un derstand a motor engine for one that know9 his own heart. There is no "resale" price on a second-hand heart, and heart dis ease is increasing as consumption diminishes. Doctors can cure many diseases, but you must cure your own heart, once you have been warned. ? Beveridge and David Graham Phillips were schoolmates in In diana, and represented their State well, Phillips in literature, Bever idge in national politics. Both are gone. Is it "entirely illogical," as some say, to hope that they have^ rtet again, or is it, as others say.j r perfectly -easontfble hope ? M ? ? * " A Young Women's Christian Association committee says: "The n}od?rn wife who works after mar riage and continues to bring money BALSAM f Rev. Kay Allen preached a beauti ful Mother's Day sermon in the Bap tist church here Sunday morning. Rev. Mr. Cook of Dillsboro preached at the evening hoifr. . , The Metthodist Sunday School ren dered a prcty and appropriate service in the afternoon in honor oi' "Your Mother and Mine." (. > Mrs. Mabel Perry went to Frank lin Monday. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Ballough and into the home is the best tyre o4 young wife, better than the young wife who sits at home twiddling her thumbs." Real wives can testify *hat there 'it little time at iiome for twid dling thumbs, especially after the first baby begins to twiddle its tees. Ev'ery young man ought to be able to support one woman, and proud to do it, while she takes care of the children. Working wives, respectable and admirable, should not be necessary. 1 ^his country treats the Missis sippi problem as a poor man treats lil& .'arm, never spending enough to gcr it in good shap.:. Scores of miu'iyis nave been jpent on patch work agiinst flood danger. Now comes a flood causii-g five hundred million dollars' d?ma^e. That sum, properly spent, under one compre hensive plan would have prevented this flood and future floods. Railroad men, doing their best to help stockholders, as they are bound to do have concentrated on getting increased passenger fares and freight rates from the public authorities, and that has seemed good business. The time is not far of? when good business will consist in finding a way to carry passen gers and freight for LESS and thus making more money, i i Tfce danger to the railroads is a siiiail ridiculous looking thing on fcur wheels * running along the highway, paralleling the highway on a "right of way" that costs the motor omnibus and motor truck nothing but the price of their li cense. Every day four motor buses leave Los Ang.;!?s carrying pas sengers to Chicatjo. That doesn't amount to much. But they can carry twice as many passengers as there are on this magnificent Santa Fe "Chief" Express. And the bus overhead is one man driving and another man t? relieve him. Omnibus travel is uncomfortable travel and will never compete with the express train. But WHAT ABOUT THE FLYING MA CHINE that will soon be here? ? And what about freight hauling by omnibus? On the Mojave Des ert farmers buying agricultural machinery from Los Angeles do not ask the railroad to carry it. The -farmer calls up the truck line at Victorvilli:. The freight motor truck delivers the mowing machine, plow or "seed drill" right in the farmer's barnyard. The freight bus costs a little more per hundred than the freight train. But what you order today you get tomorrow and It is delivered at your door. 7 About your Health Things You Should Know jbj John Joseph Oaine*, M. D7 , ABOUT DIET. 1 If the American people haven't been "fed up" on diet, for the past decade, then there is nothing in what we see. Almost every magazine, newspaper, or other candidate for the patronage of the reading public, has a special dietary counsel, who dishes up the most fascinating tech nicalities about calories, proteins, carbohydrates, hydro-carbons, vita mines, A. B. and C. You are told that milk is all the food necessary for human life's sus^eMn;e; the working man knows better. You are told that any sort of meat is deadly, and must not be eaten, if you would live long. Some tell you that you should live on raw carrots, raw turnips, raw string beans, raw green corn?such advice is about as raw as the fellow who attempts to carry it out. A I know cf an advertising charlatan who is reaping a financial harvest, using "the -diet racket." People fall for it by the hundreds, and stay un til they rerli-e ihat they are stung. Folks, espcckil'y rh->>e ;>t the simpler sort, s?y "1. kiwrv. rh'.-rc's a diet for every complain*, that'll cure it, if we could jest f?'<! *t out." Recently a "practical nurse" s.v.'1 to me: "I ain't a doctor, nor I a:n't.a graduate of any school, hut I know that's the best treatment fcr this girl." "Please tell me how you know it," I asked} and for the life of her, she couldn't tell, not bci::g a doctor nor a gradu ate nurse. A rough, M'rsotiri farmer once toid me that be curcd himself of typhoid fever, by eating two cans of cove oysters, at one sitting?just af ter the doctor had called, and had told him he must not hive solid food f And that farmer had about as much sense on dietary matters, as the ignoramus who tells you that a man can perform heavy mantial labor on three quarts of milk a day. When shall common sense take the place of technical fooleries ? Prove all things; hold fas.t to that which is good. "Next week : Tubby Men." Mr. and Mrs. Wilmonn Billionth ar-l rived by motor Friday from Daytoim! Boacli, Fla. '\ Mr. .1. W. Porter of Hypoluxo, Fla., spout several days here last week visiting his daughter, Mm. Geo. T. Knight. The flapper isiij't 03 bad as she painte herself. Dairymen of Alamance County have begun an advertising campaign /O to saow the value of milk as a food With Cash in Hand r 1 I < . F Them as has gets. The man with money in hand, is the man in position to meet opportunity half way?and usually he is the man who putis things across?because he is ready. , ' A list of the names of this bank's patrons?is a list of the names of f.ome of the most successful people in Jackson county. That is evidence enough that ready money is essential to achieve. You make no mistake when you resolve to adjust your af fairs so that incMme is greater than outgo. You will be surprised how quickly you have cash in hand to make investments?which in turn will bring you more cash in hand. Orjce you become acquainted with the many manners in which we can serve you, you will thank the day when you heeded friend ly suggestion and started to build for the future.
