Blessed are the pure iu heart for they
shall see God. —Matt. 5 :S.
Dear Folks:
I love the fee! of baby hands around
my neck a stealing, there's something in
their gentle touch that's more than just
appealing. Their warmth bespeaks of
confidence that in their hearts is sing
ing, and when 1 feel a baby's arms around
my neck a stealing, I know there's love
behind the squeez. that stands for real
devotion, and in my heart I feel a surge
of genuine emotion.
The love that children give to folks
is Kgatejrtftfitf all others, except of course
thfcjpJMer love, that's given them by
'"'"'fitßhers. But when a child looks up at
me with eyes and hands appealing. I
know that in their little breasts, there's
true unselfish feeling They love be
cause they want to love, because it brings
them pleasure, that's why the love of
kiddies is a love I seek and treasure.
I like to have them on my lap a beg
ging me for stories, and asking for the
kind of yarn in which a kiddie glories.
I like to take their broken toys and do
my bit at mending. The joys that
kiddies bring to me are jcys without an
ending.
The love that children give to folks,
contains a lot of teaching. It shows us
many things for which 'twould pay us
to be reaching. It teaches faith and
confidence and hope Hint's never dying,
and jove that's always on the square,
unselfish and denying.
Cordial.v yours—-T. V. It.
CONCORD GETS PI'BIJCITY.
Concord, through the recent campaign
for raising funds to build a new hotel, has
received a great amount of helpful and
favorable publicity.
Os course in the various state papers
much was said relative to the forward
ness of the action and of the splendid
way iu which the citizens responded to
the call for funds. Numerous editorials
appeared congratulating Concord on the
project. Every paper carried news stor
ies on the campaign.
This was in away to be expected. Con
cord is well known throughout North
Carolina and a movement of this nature
was bound to attract attention. It might
be said to be a matter of course that the
other papers would remark about it.
However, much of the publicity which
Concord is receiving comes from other
sources, sources outside of the state. Ap
pearing in recent editions of Business
Administration and other business pa
pers is an advertisement of the Hocken
bury System, a company which had
charge of the campaign in this city with
this lead: “Is your town as good as Con
cord r
The nd. continues: “Concord, N. C.. is
a Good town 1 Its people are aggres
sive, keen, and wide-awake to their op
porfuait’les.
“Concord jsaw countless motor tourists
step on the gas when they struek the
town. Few stopped over because Con
cord bad no modern hotel facilities.
Which was too much for Concord. If all
it took to make these tourists stop over
vas a good hotel, they'd get the hotel.”
The ad. then continues to give an ac
count of how Concord sold in one week
$382,200 hotel securities and states that
“their new hotel will soon be built and
completely furnished without a cent of
indebtedness."
in The Hockenbhr.v Hotel FiuanCMlist,
a magazine devoted to the activities of
the Hockenbury Company, there apiiears
in the December number a two page
spread of the Concord Hotel project. On
one page is' ( a picture of the Executive
Committee of the campuign under which
ia the caption: “These Civic Leaders
t Bring New Hotel to Concord, N. C.”
. Beneath is a story from which we
shall quote in part:
. “It isn’t only in the larger cities of
the country that men know how to or
r ganize for the accomplishment of big
! things. Sometimes in the less-sung com
\ munities there arise men with a vision; I
men with a power of accomplishment
1 that well may cause envy on the part of
their contemporaries in the metropolises.
“Take Concord, N. C., for instance,
and the group of men shown above. It
is quite probable that many men north
, of the Mason-Dixon line, and west of
’ the Mississippi River never even heard
of Concord. But down in Dixie way, the
■ town of Concord is far from unknown.
Likewise, the men shown in the above
etching, which represents the New Hotel
| Executive Committee which was so
largely responsible for the new hotel
which was recently financed in their com
munity through the direction of The
Hockenbury System, Inc.”
After a list of the men composing the
executive committee, the story ends with
the following words of praise for Con
cord: "When we hear of larger cities,
badly in need of more modern hotel fa
cilities, decry their fate because such a
hotel is not forthcoming, we feel like
saying: “Send for these men of Concord,
N. C. I.et them become citizens of your
community and yon will get your new ho
tel’ !”
On the reverse of the page is a picture
of the New Hotel with a brief foot-note
giving the details of the campaign.
With such advertising as the above
going over the United States, Concord
should begin to show a greater growth
since it is well known that good advertis
ing pays. Concord's citizens, in doing
their civic duty to aid in building a ho
tel worthy of the city, have contributed
to the future of the city and will reap
rewards in more ways than one by their
public spiritedness and foresight.
Guard at Harding’s Tomb.
The Pathfinder.
Dues. Why is a guard kept at the
tomb of: the late President Harding?—
Ans. The war department says that in
accordance with instructions of the
secretar of war a military guard of one
officer and 25 men is maintained over
the tomb of the late President Harding
as a mark of respect to his memory and
with a view of preventing entrance to
the tomb by unauthorized persons.
There is no prescribed policy with
reference to the placing of a guard of
honor over the graves of our deceased
presidents. The action taken depends
upon the circumstances in each in
stance. A guard of honor was maintain
ed at the tomb of McKinley for several
years. A similar guard was kept at the
grave of Woodrow Wilson only for a
brief period after his burial. This is
probably accounted for by the fact that
President Wilson was interred in a
cathedral where the likelihood of his re
mains! being molested is very small.
Marty Taylor, former well-known
pugilist and contender for the American
Expeditionary Force bantam-weight
belt, is now a prosperous hardware mer
chant in Brooklyn.

vv clety In Washington is get
ting more excited every min
utes over the Scott divorce case.
The excitement probably will
continue for quite a while after the
case itself has been disposed of. A
great many people have been men
tioned. In connection with It, in
ways that promise to keep them
explaining indefinitely.
Just as one little Item—
There were 67 members of Con
gress, with their families, along on
tav Panama trip from which Con
gressman Scott is said by his wife
to have returned bringing two bar
rels and a trunkful of Uquor into
the country
Quite a few of these congressmen
represent very dry constituencies,
and if it’s established that the
Panama junket was a drinking
party they will not benefit a bit by
f It politically.
They are denying it already, but
the word picture painted by Mrs.
Scott's lawyer of a Kansas states
man carrying a whole pitcherful
of liquor about the steamship
Cristobal, is pretty vivid. Denials
may not prove sufficient. There
may have to be a regular investi
gation.

They don’t live here. They are
aimply ’staying” ia the capital for
a few years, during their hus
bands’ official term& Instead of
having homes to manage, they put
up in hotels or apartments, where
everything ia done for them by
servants whom they do not even
have to direct.
rSCINATING bachelors are
numerous likewise.
Dashing, well educated, ac
complished army and navy officers
are on hand in plenty.
Among the swarming attaches,
secretaries and sub-secretaries of
the diplomatic corps married men
are the exception rather than the
rule. What’s more, a great many
of them have extremely liberal
European ideas on the subject of
sex relations.
"Affairs,” between men and wo
men of these types have a lot of
snap and sparkle They're steged
romantically. The participants
wear uniforms, decorations, broad
ribbons across their dress shirt
fronts, bewitching gowns, expen
sive jewelry.
Such "affairs" have an air of
"class.’’ in short.
And drink flows freely. Even
prohibitionists, while contending
the country es a whole is much
dryer today than it used to be, ad
mit that a small groups are
perhaps drinking more than they
ever did.
Well, this is one of the small
groups. Parties don’t begin with
a round of cocktails, as they did
formerly. They begin with half a
dozen rounds.
A certain proportion of Wash
ington's official population, like a
certain proportion of every popula
tion, has the inclination to he
sporty. In some places this in
clination has to be restrained lmt
not in Washington. Here inclina
tion and opportunity go together. 1
More, even than opportunity, there
•is a strong temptation to the
cportily inclined to be sporty.
That’s why the Washington
"fast set” is so much so —but i
hsipw to o-ught at it.
