J MORALITY AND HAPPINESS V f Some people say there is not a full-1 ness of happiness in the land these! days. They may be right, though it I is probably a pessimistic view. Some others sar there is not asf much morality in the country as there j once was. We believe this is also the j cry of the pessimist If both claims should be proved! true ,the state of Bishop Mouzon inl a recent address that "the true foun- J dation of all happiness is morality,! and all morality is founded upon re ligion." If the germ of immorality has j grown to such an extent that it has! undermined our faith in each other,! | I then we may expect unhappiness. Cer- j tainly it is necessary that we should I have faith in each other .to make us j believe in each other. It is an un-1 happy people that reaches that point where they have no confidence. It is quite often that the fellow that has no confidence in others is carrying! around a very ow type of character I himself.?Ex. SCHOOL DAYS ALMOST HERE For three months hundreds of thousands of school children have gone here and there spending their vacations in many ways; some at work; some at play; all forgetful of the duties and responsibilities of life. With the tokens of fall presenting! themselves in the very winds and j clouds, and the shortening of the days; an J the next calendar sheet,! September, in full view, reminds us that vacation days are-nearly over. The schools are announcing their] - .opening dates. It is also close at hand that we have only a few more days ?of vacation occupation and then off -to study for the next year's race in life. : We find the mothers all preparing the school dresses and other things ?necessary for their children to stand in the modern row of school society, whether it he the high school at home .or the college abroad, they all do ev ery thing possible to make their chil 'dren the equal of others. It has become necessary to spend a large sum of money to educate a girl or .a boy these days. The four year college course in the average North Carolina college is cost ing more today than all of the prop erty of the average North Carolina ?family was worth twenty-five years, ago. Yet the educated man can pay it all back with interest in a very short time, because the opportunities ?fflr educated people are so much greater than for the uneducated. . The country - is perhaps paying e&ough cash for educating the youth of today, but we are failing.to get be hind the great educational movement and impress the'great student body of tjie greatness-pf the opportunities ?'?' which lier^efore thethb M- should know thdt the school bell is always calling "Come up higher". ? If we have used our. vacation in a profitable way we shwAh, rejoice, but we should remember the duties we Have to face during the coining school If we eould only know-what a short time there is allotted for us to get sr education anyhow b*fly we neec in later life we would be mom en ergetic in our school days and ouj school vacations.?Williams ton Enter prise.

Mexico by the President of fkau; ..who requests "re-establishment of ?- Mexico & t ^ B1- ? , ?- . . , , fairs, and informs Peru that he will proceed to enforce kexiean laws concerning- religion "with out fearing foreign interference or supernatural punishments." A new dying machine promises to revolutionize flying. A counter propeller for airships, similar to , one successfully used on. steam- j ships, is to be tried by our navy, j It is certain that, with time, fly- j ing will change completely from-| present methods. J , Today's airplane .is merely, an ? imitation Of a flying bird. Man does not limit himself to "Imitating nature?be goes far beyond what nature can do.:," * The locomotive is not an imita tion of a running antelope/* jtite bursting bullet is no imita &n of a tiger's tooth. Sir DaileL Hall, food expert tells the C.tford scientific gather ing that tht earth is in danger of famine. Each year white races alone need millions of acres more for food production. Population grows fast But nature's laws will'take care of air problems. Henry George pointed out the speed at which a puppy's tail grows. If it kept on growing. ; as fast, each dbg would drag a tail many yards long. y' ' Nature stops the growth of the dog's tail when it is long enough. The human race will not grow . fasteg'-tfcan the earth can feed ft. : : At present land is inadequately -1 i-tnltivatedi. The State of Texas could feed the entire population of the globe, ; under intensive >eiil tivation, and have plenty to spare. Sir Daniel Hall says-, also that lack of food will makje- prohibit tion a reality some dayw> And pfl men will become vegetarians, be cause the earth can produce moid vegetable than animal rfpbd.
