In the broad application of those five word is wrapt the greatest se (;tt that, of happiness. No life can be truly happy which bears the scars of selfishness. It is Jnaster of mind and body which be clouds every impulse and keeps every tnio virtue from its proper develop- r. nt. TU't to do a good turn, that's -differ ent. Its reward is in the smile for ihe seat you gave some one; its fruit i;- in the responsive glow of happiness which greets your laugh; its love is in the atmosphere which expresses grat itude for some deed of kindness done. The higher enjoyment of life the atmosphere of true culture is that of the mind and spirit.

Every Chautauqua guarantor is called to meet in the Record office Tuesday morning at ten o'clock to make final plans for v the ticket cam paign, to arrange for accomodation for the talent, to procure seats for the large crowds expected and to general ly place things in order for the five day attraction June 12th-lSth. Plans are for a short ticket cam paign of pep and vigor which is guar anteed by enthusiastic Mac McGuire. chm. of the ticket committee. Every individual is to be solicited and all ef fort put forth to sell the season tick ets as this is the only way in which the guarantor can be protected. Each of the following guarantors is particularly urged to attend the meeting: R. B. Boyd, M. C. McGuire, Alice Rooker, Howard F. Jones, W. W. Taylor, Mrs. Edmund White C. B. Overby, J. K. Pinnell, G.

In looking over the program of the coming Community Chautauqua one is impressed and pleased to note the absence of those so-called "dull speak ers." The uninteresting, dry lecture is now a thing of the past. Unless man has a vital worth-while message unless he is a sincere, convincing speaker, able to please and entertain as well as furnish inspiration he finds: no place on the platform of the Com munity' Chautauqua. And so each lec turer who appears here will have something of interest to talk about and will tell it in a mariner that im presses and pleases his audience. This program de luxe offers four lectures, widely different in character but alike in one respect, namely, that each lec turer, is foremostjn his own particular field. -The program opens with the unique offering of Albert Edward Wiggam, noted publicist, scientist and . thinker. From among his many lec turers Mr. Wiggam will give one ot two "How Eli qot There" or "Forty Kinds of Fools" both filled with . vig or and life and brilliant with humor and thought. The general feeling of an audience after hearing Mr. Wig gam is that they have met a worthy man and have heard a worthy lecture on a subject of great value. In direct contrast, is the great illus trated lecture by Dr. J. W. Skinner on "The Romance of South American En terprise." Perhaps no one is more qualified to" speak on the subject of South America, the land of the im mediate future, than Dr. Skinner. Al though an Englishman, he was born in Peru, and has explored practically all of Peru, Chili, Argentina and a large part of Brazil. He is an enthu iast on the hidden potentialities of this great southern continent, and this en thusiasm he communicates to his au dience to an extent that is truly re markable. He believes that the nat ural resources of South America art such that she will eventually dominate the world commercially , In view ot the intense interest in South America on the part of American commercial organizations, this .lecture is indeed most interesting and timely. For eighteen years, Denton C. Crowl, has been one of the outstanding fig ures of the American platform. This vigorous exponent of genuine Ameri canism appears on the third day with II : i r To crown our great five day program comes the musical triumph of the season, Weltman's famous Cosmopolitan Orcliestra, prool aimed by all as the "orchestra of orchestras." Leon Weltman, distinguished Russian violinist and conductor, heads this company of artists, which numbers -among' them Percy Holmes, greatest boy organist; Jules Osma, French pianist and former accompanist for Mme. Galli Curcl; Edward Adelman, violinist, and other talented players. An added-attraction with the Cosmopolitan Orchestra is Miss Ethel Harrington, celebrated - operatic soprano. Miss Harrington has cored a personal triumph aniens Chautauqua patrons, and her appearance at your Community Chautauqua will be an event of interest. The programs for both afternoon .jand evening 'are surprising in their rariety of selections. Such popular Efcnibers as "The Clock Store," "The Unfinished Symphony," "Hungarian Dance," "The Little Lead Soldier" and "Stars and Stripes" have been scheduled for each performance This phenom enal orchestra will please old and young With many favorite melodies, novelty numbers, songg, solos and organ music. When the orchestra appears on Sunday a program of sacred music Is artistically presented. his friendly, human message, tinged with a kindly satire on the customs ''and dress of society, which gives to you a new and modern Sam Jones eloquent, positive and inspiring. Mi Crowl is also an able writer, being a valued editorialist for the Toledo Blade, Detroit Journal and Newark Star-Eagle. - Then there is that distinguished southern orator and educator, Walter Kirkland Greene, who is headmaster of Green University School. His lec ture is entitled "The Greater Pyra mid, but just what it is to be ab.out is to be a surprise. In fact many sur prises are in store in Mr. Greene's lecture and you'll just have to come and hear it to be satisfied. These lectures alone are woth more than the price of admission to the Community Chautauqua, which to the first fortunate five hundred purchas ers, of a season ticket is only S2.50 and to those less fortunate $2.75 in cluding war tax. In fact, each of these attractions would cost that much in a Irrge city.- So here is the opportun ity to see them at home thus saving the expense and bother of travel. Doughton Endorses R. S. McCoin's Record Hon. R. S. McCoin, Henderson, N. C. v Dear Mr. McCoin: I regret o learn that you are hav ing opposition in your candidacy for the State Senate in your senatorial district. It was my pleasure to serve with you during the last two sessions of the General Asssembly. and to be come acquainted With your qualifica tions as a practical legislator and to admire the sam.e. Your Architect Bill was admirably conceived and I am sure had already saved North Carolina a large amount of money. It was the adoption of Business methods to business affairs.; Then your work as a member of the Appropriations . Committee was in every sense valuable to the State. While you acted with due regard to the demands and equities of the State Institutions and believed fn caring for them in a proper manner, yet you were economical and always opposed any proposition tending toward ex travagance. I cap say to"you, that, In my opinion, after a service of many years in the Legislature, ' I have never known a more valuable member of the Legisla ture than yourself. Your people should re-elect you overwhelmingly and give you that endorsement that your faithful services deserve. With best wishes, I am Sincerely yours, . R. A. DOUGHTON.

Pertinent Information About Sweet Potatoes . ; Transplanting Successful commercial growers of sweet potatoes claim that careful transplanting of well grown plants is one of the secrets of success with the crop. Careless setting often damages tHe crop very materially by the loss of a stand and the slow weak growth thaiv follows. The secret of good tvjyigplantindepends upon . putting, the plants deep into the soil with the roots of the plant in close contact with moist earth and then firmly pressing the soil to the plant. Several hours before the plants are drawn the bed should be thoroughly watered. In pulling plants hold the seed potato down with one hand while the slips are being removed. Only good stock sprouts six or eight inches in length should be taken, the smaller slips being left for a later drawing. "Puddling" the roots by dipping them in a batter made of clay and water will help to save the vitality of the plants. Pack the plants in bas kets, "with the roots in one direction and the basket covered to prevent wilting1. Af ter the plants have been pulled, water the bed to settle the soil. When slips are not set after a rain, many growers believe that the plants will get a quicker start if they are watered. Transplanting machines that automatically water each plant as it is set, can be used to advantage in setting large areas. Plants are generally set 18 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart with 9680 plants to an acre. For the early crop, plants may be set after all danger of frost has passed, but for the storage crop settings made from the 25 of May until the middle of June general ly give the best results. - TELL IT BRIEFLY (News and Observer) Folks learn slowly the problems the other fellow has to contend with. perhaps it is not surprising. People- learn slowly about their own prob lems.. Many of us go through life without learning more than enough to obtain an existence and a very pre carious one at that. So we suppose it will be a long time before the out side world will know anything about the difficulties which a shortage of paper produces in a newspaper office. Several appeals have been made on this page to good friends who have something to say which they think will be of interest or value to the public to be brief. Have they made any impression ? Not much if any. Many writers seem disposed to ex haust the subject. They oughn't to do it.

GREEN. 1 r . . South Makes Great Strides Toward Place (Manufacturers Record) - Out of a depth of poverty in' 1865 far beyond what Germany or France or Belgium haye endured; out of a Bolshevistic ten years of reconstruc tion 'due to unscrupulous "carpet-baggers;" out of a labor chaos such as no other country has had to endure: out of the loss between 1865 and 190C by emigration of 5,000,000, native whites a greater drain than four years of war and ten years of Bolshe vistic reconstruction; out of many long weary years of denunciation by politicians and hostile "blocidy shirt waving" papers; out of economic slav ery of all cotton growers by reason of the effort of Europe and New England to beat down and hold down the price of cotton below the actual cost of pro duction, the South has emerged trium phant and is beginning to see abound ing prosperity which lifts the burden from all classes nd thrills the South with "the music v oga?ess, the roar of the furnace, the tnrob of the Iocot motive, the buzz of the saw and the whirr of the spindle." No wonder the South sings-a song of gladness. No wonder it is busy building factories and dwellings and highways and "schools and churches. In these things it must fill up the vacuum of half a century during which it was busy trying to save Anglo-Saxon civilization in this region, which for years was in danger of be coming a San Domingo or a Haiti, and busytrying to eke out' a bare exist ence while it saw other sections roll ing in almost boundless wealth, n The South's day has now dawnea. the sun of prosperity, is lighting up the dark places and hastening on tu midday splendor. Surely every patriotic American, it matters not where he may live or what his politics, can rejoice that prosper ity reigns where poverty like a mighty pall had for fift! years covered one third of the nation's population and held back the full development of the most richly endowed region on earth. High wages in town bring recruits from the farm: The way to stop the drift is not to lower the wages in town but to cease to complain of the prices the farmer charges for. what he has to "sell. The best way to keep plenty of folks on the farm is to make it profitable for them to stay there. Let the farmer have a good -price for his stuff so that his family can have the comforts of those who live in the city. News' and Observer. 1 - 'J Run HI Ii H Miss Freda L.

ALLIGATOR STEAKS VERY GOOD SAYS, MARINES Managua, Nicaragua, May 25 Per haps alligator steaks would never ap peal to the fastidious diners in a first .class restaurants, but U. S. Marines attached to the American Legation Guard here, say they are the real thing for adding piquancy to the daily fare. Marine sharpshooters make a spec ialty of bagging young alligators. When -the skin is removed steaks are ,cut from the fleshy part of the tail. The meat is clear white, is palatable, and has something the flavor of hali but. Another variety in the bill of fare is broiled lizard. The iguna, or giant lizard, has been used for food by the natives for many years. The Marines say that iguanas make fine chow, but they prefer alligafor for a steady diet. The company had been marching for two solid miles without a rest and Recruit Sullivan, holding the exalted rank of No. 3 in the rear rank, First Squad, had about come to the limit of his indurance. Finally, just as he was about to give up the ghost and drop, the captain gave the command, "Company, halt!"
