It's interesting after hearing Rome of the scientists say that a man can work better after eating a light breakfast, or no breakfast at ail, to hear some fellow come along and uphold the old-fashion: d (irbakfast., which wus considered .1 meal. And still is considered in that light by some. Frank P. Gaines writing in The Greenville (S. C.) News sayst “I’d rather have the extra hour of sleep than to get up for break fast. But you are entirety wrong, my friend, I have it on the authority of a physician who ones' treated me that every normal person should cat a good breakfast. And I am sure that breakfast is important for starting the day off in the proper mood. Meredith Nicholson, eminent American essayist, has written a plea for a new appreciation of the place of breakfast in our life, ; This business of staying up late at night and of commuting wildly into work the next morning and of snatching a newspaper, all this has just about squeezed breakfast out of the day’s program. But there should he come sort of re-opening of the case for break fast. Perhaps that meal, as no other time, serves as a unifying force for family life. By all means let’s have breakjgst Let’s settle upon some reasonable1 hour when nil the family can witl. j out too great a loss of sleep set down and when there will he a few minutes before the workers have to rush. Then let’s have our faces washed and our hair brushed (airs,! for my small boy) and sit around awhile, postponing the work of tha day forgetting the cares of yester day, with no other thought than to enjoy each other's company and, of. course the brepkfnrt. Certainly, .00, the breakfast should be good. Some people ear much. But the quantity is not the1 main thing; of primary importance is the fact that the breakfast should be so well cooked and so well serv-1 cd that every one gets a new les son iqtaystem rind order and goes out to the duy's work with a good tasie in his mouth, a good spirit in his mind. But that matter of family com panionship ought to be er.uih 'si’/f d 1 have cocked my own breakfast, with dissaster to myself, and I have eaten break fas, alone, which generally encourag s grumt iness of soul if not the body. The break fasts that I remember hilar'ously are those which I shared with lov< 1 ones or with very dear friends. COSTLY PROGRESS. Despite Brisbane’s criticism it seems that American aviation is progressing, yet ai what a cost. , Within the time of the past week the army and navy lost two of the r most brilliant and bravest fliers—' Commander John Rodgers ard LieUu Cyrus K. Bettis. To such , men as those claimed in the same week this country owes whatever progress made. It was Rodgers who first made Jhe Hawaiian attempt and h's re-' markable courage and wisdom r\,■ the flight brought him internation-, Oj fame. For that and other feats he was tendered a high-sounding desk job in Washington. But thui was not Rodger's place. He knew it better than anyone else, and as!< to be transferred back to active service where he might give of his talents and valor to the advance ment of air projects by his nation. ; Tuesday they buried him a hero of peace-time, in Arlington cemetery following a fatal crash at Phila delphia. > Young Bettis, ace of the army fliers, attained his first prominence as winner of the Puluzcr air races da 1926, when he established a new, speed record. Leaving Philadelphia last week fer Michigan in his plane Bettis was lost in a fog over tin Allegheny mountains in western Pennsylvania and his plane crash ed into the Seven Sisters Mountain. And it was then that the real Courage of the young flier came to a ()ie fore. He was unconscious for 5 an hour and a half, and after that “ ' 1 with one leg broken and both Jractured he was unable to assistance. Hopping, crawling through the , Ins he eventually reached tfcway in the mountain-.' he was found and taken to a j For 43 hours he was mis3-, j for that period of time was food, catching his only wa his hands v.nen it rained, chance he made himsell by his dogged crawl to the road with his mangled body. Hut the hardships and his injuries were t«.o much anil Wednesday he died. The romance of the air is a thrilling story. May history remem ber that to real men men like Rodgers and Bettis much of the credit for air progress in #this na tion should go. The spirit in the crawl of the broken-bodied young aviator through the Pennsylvania mountains is the spirit that drives men on to progress. Desk-brains play their pare, yes, but against the courage of Rodgers and Bettis they must take a minor role. Judge Stack declares Asheville,; needs cleaning up.

Namely, while the farmers of the country‘are having more mel ons than they know what to do with, a Shelby building and loan is cutting a dividend melon. Cleveland county famed, so we tell the world, as an agricultural ; lender, has a product the like oi which no other couifty jn the state may boast.

Raleigh newspaper correspor dents must have an easy ars'..* When anything happens at state prison so many different versions are giver, that many more news stories result than if it had been related correctly the first time. Another freak the Cleveland County fair is offering prize rib bons for this fall is registered “Gurnseys.” Of course, there will lie a few registered "Guernseys” on hand. It is to be wondered how Ben Franklin would “write up” th-: tight between Dempsey and Tunne.v at ihe Sesqui-cerrtennial ? There's one business that can go bud and the general public will not raise a howl that of undertaking ! Ami a local undertaker says bust- j ness along that line isn’t so rush ing no-wtulays. Cleveland county citizens dr/not have to make a trip to the Cana d(an order to be searched by off ficials; all they need to do is to motor through the South Moun. tains of their own county. They may call it the “Lone Star state but "Ma" Ferguson was not alone. There was Daddy Jim, and subsequently another governor. With no big problems remaining to face President Coolidge may b* expected to decide that he’s hau enough vacation. Chicago is trying to make the young folks stay in a. night, which isn’t fair to them. Of course, it's lonely parking about the house with the parents out. POOR WILL! Pity poor Will Rogers, Ameri ca’s foremost humorist! Rogers journeyed over to Eu rope some weeks hack and on his ar rival and during the first portion of his stay was feted on many oc casions and sought widely by no table English folks who had heard <>f Ziegfield's famous pun-puller. Hut the English channel—and better women than men—ruined his stay. About the time Will was the idol of British society in gen eral and the Prince of Wales in particular along came Trudy Eder'e and Mrs. Corson, also from Amer ica, and the ladies attracted the attention that had been dircted towards the cowboy wit. No doubt Rogers has already addressed the female swimmers thusly: “You’re better women than I am, Gunga I)in.” In wiring back his daily message to his paper Rogers concludes his embarrassment with the pocular in formation that immigration au thorities at London are barring any American woman found to have a bathing suit along with her. Pi rhaps, they’re afraid that some dauntless woman will swim off with H. R. II. WOULD THEY, REALLY? With continued talk of booming AI Smith for the Democratic partvs nominee for President one hears ihe matter discussed considerably here in the Southland. The topic even furnishes suite a hit of con troversy for shady spots in Shelby, the home of politicians and scene of the planning of many a political battle. Frequently, quite frequently, one nears the statement “If A1 Smith is nominated I’ll vote the Republi can ticket. I’ve never voted any thing except the Democratic ticket for so-many years, but for once I will be a Republican." Is that talk ? Or would he, should such come about? Either way there are some doubts about it. Recently an observant citizen decided on a moderate test. Ap proaching one of the town’s best known citizens, an elderly mail,' who no doubt has voted'in scores of elections, the fellow asked: “I know you’re against A1 Smith and don’t want him nominated, but should he be nominated would you vote the Republican tickei.—Don’t just talk, if such renHy came about what would you do?" "Well, I’ve voted the Democrats ticket for 45 years and I guess I’d stick to it," was the reply after a minute’s thought. So there you go. Some say they will and are jus., talking. Others really mean it. But that Smith would split the South as badly as some think is a ridiculous idea. Yet, he will split it to an extent. Parents At Fault Jurists Declare Jurists Unanimous In Attributing Grave Condition to General Breakdown of Parental Control New York—Figures for New York county for the year 1025 show that of 9,989 persons tried for all classes of cases, 80 per cert were under 20 years of age. an 1 that the average age of the entire group was 20 years. About 50 per cent of the total were con • ‘ a ■■.,() f'ntenced to jail. Of the total, 4,7*18 were tried for fel c nics. The figures for New York are declared to be representative of conditions in other large American cities. I With crime rampant in Anieri ■’>ti ojties. and police statistics re vealing that an unprecendeented number of violet crimes as well as lesser offences are now being com mitted by youths and girls under 25 years of age, 12 of the coun try’s leading criminal judges have joined in an unsparing arraign met of American parents who are charged with being chiefly respon sible for conditions. “Flapper mothers,’ sexual laxity f’d dissination that is causing the yearly production of thousands j of mentally defective children; the break down of parental authority and respect of in the home and the absence of kindly home discipline; the mistaken desire of modern parents to “make life easy” for their children by condoning indol ence and failing to install sound, and saving work habits; failure to insist upon obedience in the: home; the modern madness for dress and fashion and for fine i clothes at any cost; hip-flask drink ing and liquor orgies in the pres-; enc.e of boys and girls: automobile “petting” by both parents and children; sevuully inciting movies and fiction and the “rotten nv\;oi standards and general jazz spirit, of the age,” are cited as causes. Severe Charges Preferred A symposium of statements from I members of the group, collected by Vera S. Connollv. a writer, is published todav in the August is sue of Good Housekeeping maga zine. The corrohorative views of a , distinguished Canadian woman jurist are algo included. Excerpts1 containing severe charges against , the modern American mother and father, fallow: Judge John F. McIntyre, New York—My experience leads me to believe that most of the serious crimes in our country are being carried cn by young people. Our J vicious criminals here—our form ers, burglars, hold-up men, mur derers—are young people between ages of 16 and 23. Some are pret ty, stunning young women—we'l educated girls from good residen tial districts. Some of our young men criminals are college . grad uates. The rotten moral standards and general jar.* spirit of the times are at fault. Girls are finery-mad. de manding of life shoes at $20 a pair and sheer hose at $10; and young men are excitement-mad and are apir.g their elders in the pur suit of liquor. Assails Flapper Mr/hers What do we see see on all our city streets—girls from respecta ble homes, walking about painted and bedizened, half-clad, loud voiced. with skirts reaching only to their knees. Worse still, they are often aceomnanied by their mo'hers. similarly tricked out. This tvpe of mother is appearing in ever-increasing numbers in all our large cities todav. She snon sors the present fashions in dress and manners. She follows both as t'nrgerly as her daughter does. She boasts of her hip-flask and her pronto hootleger. Excesivo usn of liquor and sox uni sins on the part of parents "r<* causing the birth cf paranoiac cWlrcn all ni wnom are incipient criminals. There are, it is esti mated at least fi2,,000 paranoiac children walking around city streets in New Yo-k state alone. As for the well-to-do class, it dumps on the world every year thousands of lazy, excitment-loving spoiled young men and women, wjll no concert of their duty to or ganized society, no real work hab its. no high ambitions of any sort. Such youthful loafers and drifters help to keep our courts and pris ons full. ( itie ' Disrespect of Law Judge Florence E. Allen. Colum bus. Ohio.—The disrespect for law which exists in America is caused mainly by our failure to teach the meaning of responsibility. This fail ure is shared equally by home, school and church. Judge Thomas 11. Noonan, New York.—Lack of moral character is the chief trouble. This lack is chiefly due to unwillingness or in ability of parents to he on the job. Too many young people today are looking for ‘white-collar’ jobs in stead of real work. Judge Edward F. Waite, Min eapnolis.—There exists a most alarming increase among young men of crimes of extreme reckless ness and violence, and—acompara tively new phenomeon—participa tion in these crimes by young wo men. Of two outstanding causes, I would list the breakdown of re ligious training in the home and the inordinate desire for thrills and kicks created by new forms of amusement, such as the movies, the automobile, extreme dancing, the sensational stage arid up-to-date fiction.

Such a state of things is temporary. and usually very temporary. Conversely you do not use goad judg ment if you become unduly optimistic over small things; imagine because you have a success today that the cards of fate are stacked in your favor. Good luck and had luck both come and go; and (he better part of wisdom is to ac cept each in the spirit that— as Lincoln used to say—“This too will pass.*’ Which brings up the fact that here in this county row there is a spirit to cash in in advance upon the forthcoming cotton crop. Some are saying, and many are think ing—well, good times are head. I will loosen up a bit. ! Ft gives a fellow a good feeling to look ahead and feel that good times are dawn ing for him. But— If he i: wise he will not cash in on those good times in advance. It is true that prospects for th"* future arc very encouraging; it may be said they were perhaps never more so. But you can’t live on prospects. And if anything should happen between now and picking time— harvest—to give the crops a set-back yon will be in the in-bad club if you have spent your money—any of it—in advance. So bank what you’ve got and hold on to it. When the new crop money has join cd hands with what you’ve got, then and then only give vent to the feeling that you have passed this year’s Rubicon. Bank your money here. Be conserva tive. Think prosperity, and talk prosper ity, and prepare for prosperity, hut DON’T SI END TOMORROW’S EARNINGS TO DAY. That is unwise. Cleveland Ban k & Trust Co.
