IIARRELL Special Agent 11113 The Prudential There is a ilea Tho Juvonllo Court- The Woman's Club held their regular monthly meeting Wed nesday afternoon at the Manu facturers club room with the president presiding. 'Twas one of the fullest meetings of - the yea.r and the reports from the chairmen of the departments showed a great interest and much active work being done along their special lines. The Health Department reported the best meeting of the year. Their sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals was a success, and they have plans for the future wthch will prove most helpful. The civic department gave an outline of the garden fete to be conducted by them early in March. The re-' ports from the standing commit tees were good. Many tf these committees meeting in regular session as do the departments. Especially interesting was the report from the conservative committee and the legislative' committee, the latter reporting special efforts they arc making to have the juvenile court estab lished and in view of this they invited Judge Kdmonds to pre sent the question to the club, ex plaining what the juvenile court means to the youth of the town, business was suspended and the privilege of the tloor extended to Judge l-.dmonds, who m a con cise, but clear manner presented j the question in a way that sent straight to every woman s heart the awful truth that children as young as twelve years sit in judgment in the same room, be fore the same curious crowd and are sentenced under the same fcode that governs the hardened' criminal .of matured years. The committee will make special forts for a juvenile court in High Point. Many communications from state workers were read, and ac- j tion .taken upon same. Its more than likely the club wilt extend an invitation to a well known club woman and the near future f C(,nj,ratulation upon the pass holds a treat for the members of I,. ,., :trc,.ltp i,;,,,,,.-,, of the Woman's Club if the invita- iiqlirtr bill through both Houses tion is accepted.

Dur- i ing the social hour the Misess I Harmon furnished excellent mus ic. o - ACCORDINGLY. ; J his is a joyous world, or a cruel one, according as we fit ourselves ; into it. There are glooms for us to grouch in .with complainings and frowns,"'. .tout there also is sunshine for us to stride in with a smile and a song If you and the world don't seem exactly fitted to each other. don't attempt lo make over the world. That's too big a job. Try making over yourself. - Lop. off some of your conceit and selfishness, round out some of your vacuums of ignorance, and then maybe you may find some nice little niche just made for you. '.What you do with it will depend upon yourself. 'The world at worst is no worse than- we have made it, and the best that we deserve. IU came from the Creator clean. Sin came only with man, and has developed into multitudinous forms of vice, error and injustice, but into none more hideous than that of pessi mistic cavil.- V The plea of the pessimist is necessarily a play upon loosed passions. He dare not appeal to reason, .because to- reason is to cease to be a pessimist. What nature often baffles hu man effort proves no injustice on lo Favorod by tho Ladioo her part, but only lack of judg ment on our qwn. Nothing is njore pitiless than nature when she sees herself outraged or her laws regarded with contempt. The Java horror is but one in millions of illustrations of the fact that nature treats all man kind alike. No one can say that earthquakes or' tidal waves treat him with partial favor. 1 lie ncnaltv of ignorance is death, and soon or late, in some way or other, it must be paid by all of us, until mankind shall have lifted itself into perfection of knowledge and judgment. Time was when famine c'aimed its myraids, hut improved com mercial relations have rendered general death by starvation practically impossible. Time was when scourges carried off their uncounted millions, but science lias gained the mastery. For every evil that exists to day thcr eis a remedy ig man but knew it. Every misfortune, every evil, every sin, every sor row in this world, since time le gan, has had its origin in the imperfections of mankind. Nature is severely jut. She would., if .she could, be always kind. o . The Webb BUI The good . citizens of High Point and community will rejoice in the passage of the Webb bill.

A goodly number of our represetnatives are capable men, earnest, faith lul and true, but they are in a painful minority. Taken as a whole (and that was the spirit of the editorial which raised such a tumult) the House of Representatives tolerably sorry ot 1913 is a aggregation. Charity & Childre.

The walls were hung with a nat ural wandering of Fnglish ivy all glossy and green. Falling from lights which like all of those 011 the lower floor were covered with red and fastened to the four corners of the room were strings of red hearts.
