Now those who toiled, and tried to save, And those whom Shy locks can't enslave All face the future weeks and days With confidence, and hope and praise; While some have nothing but regrets And burdens, caused by foolish debts. They Couldn't look and fail to buy ' When luxuries were mountain high. They bought too many useless things, Too many baubles, cars and, rings; Some bought up livestock; past their needs, And had to .purchase tons of feeds, While some smoked princt-ly, fine cigars And rode in finest auto cars, Until it's borrow, beg or steal " If all their follies they conceal. (Some fools quit work and joined a strike, Some loafed and spent, some took a hike, While many purchased worthless stocks And soon were ship-wreck on the rocks. Some took wide chances here and there And now they think all men unfair; ' Because their money came so fast . They thought it would forever last. . Just now sane men should stop and pause To Study' God's and Nature's laws Which teach us we should work and earn, And then with sense and grave concern, Hand out to others, on our way, Their simple dues, or hard-earned pay. And if we find one in distress We then should use our means to bless. . In passing, it is fair to say .... For those who never failed to pay : In all the" drives for truth and right While we were fighting greed and might, They made investments in each case In a dazzling future resting place; While those who didn't give a cent Wont have a home and can't pay rent. At Heaven's gate we all will hear 'AH who showed mercy, enter-here," Who then would even dare deny . He passed his wounded neighbor by? God keeps accounts of all our acts, And U our deeds are solemn facts. Which at the coming Judgment Day Will show how each has spent his pay. . - V IVS : it. .

The Social Morality campaign car ried on in Haywood county by the Federal government and the North Carolina State Board of Health term' inated on Saturday. The campaign lasted only three days and was necessarily intensive, yet in that short time every high school girl in the county; large numbers of industrial girls and many mothers and teachers were reached with the message of the responsibility they bear to themselves and -to others the life of today. In the four centers in which the work was carried, on the greatest in terest was shown and those who took advantage of the opportunity to hear the lecturers voiced their approval the real value of the campaign became evident and this opening drive paved the way for the follow-up work, which the State plans to carry on. . The climax of the entire campaign came with the showing- of the film, "The End of the Road." In Waynes- ville and Canton more than four hun dred women and girls saw the film and learned from it the lesson which it so graphically and yet so beautiful ly portrayed. Many requests have come that it be shown again, but at this time it is impossible. ' The success of any' campaign must necessarily be judged by results. Yet in such a campaign as has just ended even the ppesent generation will not see all the good that comes from it and therein 'may lie its greatest value end even though only a start has been made the women of Haywood county are awake to their responsibil ity and will carry on the work. Too much cannot be said of the splendid women who caried on the work and who won so large a place in the hearts of the women and girls of the county. Dr. Gould gave the lectures in Clyde and Hazelwood, Dr. Morris and Dr. Williams in Waynesville and Dr. Coffin in Canton. The services of the women all of whom are connected with the Morality Bureau of the Na tional Y. W. C. A. and all of whom are experts in this line of work were requested by the State of North Car olina in carrying on the health cam paign. Haywood . county was the fourth and ae of seven districts in the State to have the privilege of enjoying these lectures. The county organization was effected by our local Y. W. C. A. secretary and its success was in large part due to the effective ness of the organization work. MRS. HOWELL ENTERTAINED. CB ' ' Mrs. Ha? Jin Howell entertained with an elaborate reception on Thurs day afternoon from 8 to 5 in compli ment to Miss Hilda Way.

The regu lation's ire is follows! .... ; v i 1. "The practice of . having differ ent prices .for different people wjl? be considered a violation of the Lever Act; there must be one fair price to everybody. 2. "To offer for sale any merchan dise that does not bear the selling price in plain figures, provided the form of such merchandise allows space for marking same, will be considered a violation of the act. 3. "A maximum margin of 60 per per cent on invoice cost is allowed on men's clothing, furnishings, hats and all shoes. To charge more' than 50 per cent is indictable under the act. This is not to be construed to mean that all merchandise as classed above should be 50 per cent profit, since, if he found a merchant adhering to this rule to escape the clutches of the law, it would count against him. 60 Per Cent for Women. 4. "A maximum margin of 60 per cent on invoice cost is allowed on all women's ready-to-wear. To charge more than 60 per cent is to violate the amended Lever Act. 5. "Full replacement value will not be allowed, but the merchant will be. expected to average cost of clothing, shoes, "etc., in determining new and advanced prices. . (Mr. Page explain ed this by saying that a serge suit purchased last spring at $20 might cost the merchant $40 if purchased today. This would not justify the merchant in making a regular per centage of profit on. the $40 suit and then bring the price of the suits car ried over up to this level.) f 6. "These regulations are effective December 15, and any merchant who wilfully exceeds the above margins of profit or violates above regulations will be subject to indictment and trial before Federal judge and jury."
