A Literary Criticism. At a dinner given many years ago in honor of Mr. HallCaine, says t^ie Argonaut, the late Thomas Xeison Page was invited to introduce the English novelist. Just before the toasts began one of the guests passed his menu card round the tabier and requested that Mr. Craine put his signature on it. "That's a good idea," said Page; "I must do that too. I've got to in troduce aCine in a few minutes, and I want to be able to say that I have read something he has written." McLean Campaign Manager. (Durham Herald) Right off the bat we hasten to ex tend to Angus Wilton McLean out congratulations upon his good judg ment in selecting W. J. Brogden, of jthis city, to be his campaign man ager. If McLean is nominated, as he probably will be, and elected, also as he probably will be, and exercises as good judgment in handling the af fairs f the State as he exercised in selecting his campaign manager, his Administration will be a complete success. *V7"0UR Clothes are Just JL as clean as the solvent in which they are wash ed. You would not think of RINSING your hair in the basin of water that you washed it in. You should he just as particular in having your suit, coat or dress cleaned. The CONTINUOUS RINSE system, the Clarifilter Way, is assurance that all the dirt from your garment is dis charged from the washer just as fast as it is discharged from the garment, and the garment is not taken from the washer until the washing solvent leaving the washer shows to be just as clear as that entering the washer. IT MUST BE CLEAN! The old method of churning clothes in the same dirty gasoline or washing solvent for 20 or 30 minutes is out of date. Our new system is one of the first that has been installed in this section and a glace at the pockets or linings of your garment cleaned this way will convince you that it is right.

GRANV!LLEMOTOR CO. Oxford, N. C. { I How About Year Heating Apparatus? ! Expect to keep your furance or grate go ing until you don't want any heat at all, all day long? You're foolish if you do. No reason for it on those days when you need heat only a half hour in the morning, or two or three hours at night. Then a gas heater will do the work. It burns fuel only when you use it; and you can adjust it to your comfort. Our radianthres warm you like the July sun, and they are as cheerful as a blazing fireplace.

(Knickerbocker Press) ' The door swings open and the j American public now can understand.; in part, what were the conditions of } the life of Woodrw Wilsdn from the j day of 1919 when he was stricken in ' the Far West until in 1924 he died j in WasRington. Mtich has been said! of that tragic figure; much of thej time it was constantly the object of public attention, and since the retire ! ,ment of Mr. Wilson from the presi dency, that lone figure has been in the public consciousness. Now, how ever there is revealed a personality which in its dignity, beauty and noble simplicity causes a thrill of pride for all Americans and shade npw uster on the glory of woman hood. In a singularly tragic way, Mrs. ! Woodrow Wilson has played a large j part in the history of the country. ) Fgw persons ever will know what ex- i tent her judgment, poise and tact in- . fluenced public affairs. It is certain , that on numerous occasions she <%ood with her back to the (tpor! guarding the sick chamber against all who wished to intrude and took i upon herself the sole responsibility ; for her decision.. To a large extent, j doubtless these decisions were prompted by her woman instinct and I Inhere is little room for doubt they j also were wise. Americamsalways have found great pride in the character and accom plishment of women who have played outstanding parts in the life of the ; country. Tlfere is nothing in, the' wondrous story of the Republic! which so thrills as do these chapters. In that company, having performed with skill, tact and wisdom in mat ters of far-reaching importance, withal modestly and unobstrusively, Mrs. Woodrw Wilson now enters. All the country is proud of this wo- } man in Virginia. ; ;YOUR WRINKLES ARE HONORABLE If You Want to Avoid Wrinkles Live as Little as Possible. (Youth's Companion) Wrinkles! What a word! AH the play of breeze-whipped,water and of life-tormented faces has gone into it. Wrinkles are the handwriting of life. The wrinkled faces are those that have lived most, at any rate with most intense sensibility and ardor. Quick hope, earnest effort vivid response of love and hate and eager longing and curiosity and gay ety, all impress themselves on the plastic tablet of the countenance When you see a smooth, round, un wrinkled face at fifty you may guess that there is a placid, perhaps erne tionless, perhaps stolid, soul behind it. You may not always be right, but the chances are with you. !; Centrally speaking,, women ! wrinkle more than men. The reas I onis obivicus. Look at any mixed company of men and women any where and you will see it. By com parison the men's faces are unmov ed. They do no tlaugh unless they see something to laugh at. Women smile for kindliness, for company, through embarrassment—it some times seems for nothing at all. And smiling, though it is a charmming habit, makes wrinkles. If youw ant to avid wrinkles, live as little as possible. There are all sorts or artificial preventives and remedies, but the natural method is by far the best. Keep out of the press and fury of human passion, i Eat moderately, sleep regularly, get ] plenty of fresh air and exercise in ! quiet ways, don't think and don't feel, and you may avoid wrinkles. The question is whether if is worth while to avoid them in that way After all, an un wrinkled heart is bet ter than an unwriukied face. And ^ strange to say, living is just tin thing that saves the heart from wrinkles. Love and sympathy and a qpick and eager perception of tht jojys and sorrows of others as well as your x keep the heart mobile and flexible and elastic, so that it does not stiffen into the hard, harsh folds and creases that make the real ugliness of age. Ycu may say that the wrinkles of the heart are not seen, but they are. Gentleness, kindness, gavety—those things not oniy show tha tthe heart is unwrink led but help to keep it so. And surely they make it wroth our while t# try to have an un wrinkled heart long as we live. ! —The new gas mask devised by the Chemical Warfare Service has ad vantages that will appeal to the men who had to wear the uncomfortable masks of the Great War. tl is light, roomy, has n tube to put into the mouth, no clips for the nose,., and the wearer can talk and make him self understood, t can be worn for many hours without inconvenience. —Boys are not born now with silver spoons in their mouths, but i owing $89 of the world's debt. —Instead of pondering over the vastness of infinite space work your ^ regular territory, which is smaller. < Not all of our successful men are to be found in great cities. One such is Harold W. Cochran, Who, at the age of thirty-five is the big gest man and the richest man in the little post-village of Clarion, Pa. He owns the comer grocery store. As a boy, Cochran was extremely poor. His family lived on a small farm on the outskirts of Clarion. His start as a trader came when as a boy he broke a button off his trousers. He picked the button up, put it in his mouth and dis covered he could whistle through it. That day he traded the button to a playmate for soap coupons, later traded the coupons for a knife, and then traded the knife for a cheap watch. The town grocer gave him a job as errand boy at one dollar a week. Because of his pleasant smile, suave man ner and infectious good nature, the townsfolk grew to know him and to give him individual orders for groceries when he came to their homes. When Ave years later he opened a little "hole-in-the-wall" grocery of his own, two-thirds of the townfolk came to him to trade. Cochran's success came through clever advertising. One day his store received unexpectedly ten crates of very ripe strawberries. He knew they wouldn't keep until morning, so he called up his cus tomers, pleaded with th^ ^ die berries and in an hou^ ia<1SnlrInli + Til.. bad s.M out.
