Foreien Advertinina Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION 'Dental" clinics' in the schools might be considered to make getting an ed-j ucation like pulling teeth. A woman wonders .what - styles rinpr will brine.' A man wonders if e fishing will be any good. Business is healthy, says a Wash incrton disoatch. but some portions of , it are suffering from insomnia. The fact that rents bave doubled since 1914 is printed as news for those who own their own homes. You are aked to 'correct this sen tence: "I have sold my car and ap plied the proceeds on my debts." ' It is suggested that only true his tory be taught in the schools. All right; but who knows only the true history? British flyers hope to go around the world in 240 hours, which is certainly reducing tourist stop-over privileges to a minimum. The fact that a 10,000,000-year-old egg brought $5,000 may result in with holding some of the fresh variety from the market. A.Cleveland man, tells us that var nishing fruit will preserve it. Imagine sitting up nights varnishing huckle berries and currants. . Don't forget the convention of farm men and women at State College on Jaly 23, 24 and 25. Come prepared to spend the three days. , lhe automobile which ran into a freight trail suffered the usual fate of those who show poor judgment in choosing an adversary. Bedtime stories are all right in their way, but they have a tendency to keep the children awake and put the older people to sleep. A farmer oi New Hanover County is growing an acre of Dill Weed for a pickle company. This is still another new crop for the Old Tarheel State. Bargains that will save you many dollars will escape you if you fail to read carefully and regularly the ad vertising of local merchants in the .Press. iom larneei says that he never knew what a conference meant until be and his two boys held one on the creek bank the other afternoon. They fished a little, talked a little and rest ed quite a lot. ' Spend your money wltti your home merchants. They help pay the taxes, keep up the schools, build roads, and ftiake this community' worth while. You will find the advertising of the best ones in the Press. insn potatoes trom home grown mountain seed were from 7 to 10 days earlier than those from Maine and Canadian seed, and the yield was equally as good, as shown by reports from the Tidewater counties. Our telephone number is Main 24. When you have a guest, call our of fice and tell us about it. When you noia a meeting or. convention of any luad in any part of the county, ap poiht a secretary and see that he or the sends us a full report.

X-Ray Sermons If You Had $10,009. If some one should give you a large sum of money, what would you do with it? A sensible person wouW probably consult with friends whom he knew to be successful in business and decide upon some plan for wisely investing his -wealth. Young men and young women, your Strength of body, mind, and heart arc, the' finest sort of capital in the world., Have you done . any real thinking about the way in which you will invest this capital? Look around you and note the ways in which oth ers, are "spending the best energies of their lives' Some are putting forth most of their strength in an effort to have a "good time." Have these peo ple found abiding happiness? Not likely. "The gayest sparks make the dullest ashes." Others' have invested the best parts of their lives in the effort to pile up wealth. Study the faces of rich men and see if they show fewer lines of care than are to be found on the - faces ot the poor. But you say that men must put their strength into business in order to make a living. Certainly, but they can be liKe a certain oiu. couoier oi whom it was said that he made it his business to serve God and mended shoes to pay expenses. That is, we can put our -heart into religion more fully than we put it into work or the search for fun. '"What shall it pro. it a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" I sincerely be lieve that the happiest people are those who have invested the best of their lives in God's work. How sweetly one can rest when his con science tells him that he has been working in accord with the Great King! Why not begin today to do some earnest thinking, about the way in which you will, invest your life? "A man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder." "The world will step aside to let any man pass who I'.no.vs whither he is going." "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. X-RAY. - Prentiss News.

Waiting by the Gate. Beside a massive gateway built up in years gone by, Upon whose top the clouds in eternal shadow lie, While streams, the evening sunshine on quiet wood and lea, J stand and calmly wait till the hinges turn for me. The treetops faintly rustle beneath the- breeze's flight, , ' . A soft and seething sound yet it whis pers of the night ; I hear the wood-thrush piping one mellow descant more, And scent the flowers that blow when the heat of day is o'er. . ,' .' . 1 ' ' Behold the portals open, and o'er the threshold, now, ' There steps a weary one with a pale and furrowed brow; His count of years is full; his allotted task is wrought ; He passes to his rest from a place that needs him not. ''..'. ' ' 1 In sadness then I ponder how quickly . fleets the, hour Of human. strength and action, man's courage and power, I muse while still the wood-thrush sings down the golden day, And as I look and listen, the sadness wears away. Again the hinges turn, and a youth, departing, throws A look of longing backward, and sor rowfully goes ; A blooming majd, unbinding the roses frcm her hair,. Moves mournfully away from' amidst the young and fair. Oh. 'glory of our race that e'enh' decavs!. Oh, crin'i-on flush of mor darkens as we gaze ! Oh, breath of summer bloas on the fleeting air Scatters a moments sweetness, flies we know not where. I grieve for life's bright promise just shown and then withdrawn; But still the sun shines round me, the evening bird sings on', And I again am soothed, and, beside the ancient gate, In this soft evening twilight, I calmly stand and wait. Once more the gates are opened; an infant group go out, The sweet smile quenched forever, and stilled the sprightly shout Oh, frail, ftail tree of life that upon the greensward strows Its fair young buds unopened with every wind that blofws So come from every region, so enter side by side, The strong and faint of spirit, the meek and men of pride. Steps of earth's great and mighty between those pillars gray, And prints of little feet, mark dust along the .way. the And some approach the threshold whose looks are black with fear And some whose temples brighten with toy in drawing, near. As if' they saw dear faces, and caught the gracious eye, Of Him, the Sinless Teacher, who came for us to die. I mark the joy, the terror, yet these within my heart, Can neither wake the dread nor the longing to depart; And, in the sunshine streaming on quiet wood and lea, I stand and calmly wait till the hinges turn for me.

It is not necessary that the names be published, but ve must know who the writer is.

In the past few days we have' received several letters from various sections of the county which we were unable to publish because the writers failed to sign them. In no case do newspapers publish the names of the writers of communica tions unless they are of such a nature that it is necessary, but no paper will publish articles that come unsigned. Those who write to the Press will, please take notice and not neglect to sign the articles sent in. We get tired of throwing interesting letters into the waste basket almost every week because the writer did not let us know his or her name.
