TO HAVE A FRIEND
YOU MUST BE ONE.
Civic clubs are beginning to ex
ert world-wide influence. Clubs
which a year or two ago were “Na
tional,” today are “Internationa!”
in their scope of influence and
membership.
There are a dumber of these
clubs, Americus being blessed with
three—the Kiwanis, the Lions and
Rotary—with a combined member
ship in this city city not far short
of 150 men.
Often the question is asked:
“What do these clubs do—what’s
their excuse for existence?”
They are NOT chambers of com
merce, nor were they ever intend
ed to perform the duties of such
bodies. Every member of a civic
Mub is supposed to hold member
ship’ in his commercial body and'
with very few exceptions they do.
Primarily, they are propagan
dists. They start things and then
help put these over in the chamber
of commerce. That’s one function.
Another one of the most vital is
the creating 6f friendships. A
“Friendly” town is a good town to
live in. A “Friendly” town is seldom
a selfish town.
On the subject of friendship, we
quote the following from the Ro
tary Mtsrsenger:
“Though there are other very im
portant things for which Rotary
stands, friendship must of neces
sity stand- at the top of the list. No
one who has even enjoyed a real
friend wj|l satisfied without
such a jkiead as Rotary is able to
give, S J fe.'
“RcMn-y •friendship
first *6 -sll ®y heitoing men tojjal
acquainted “ne with another. in
the fina’F'ttnrtlysis one’s estimate dT
the ability of another is largely de 7 ,
termined by the like or dislike. Of
ten a dislike for a person is caused
because we do not know that per
son.
"Confidence must be established
only, after a knowledge of an in
dividual is sufficient to justify that
confidence. Hente we see Rotary’s
part in establshing confidence and
friendship—the bringing of men
together.
“At the luncheon you sit with a
mah, whose business is different
tr> m yours, and one that otherwise
you would not have had the op
portunity of knowing. You talk
with him, and he talks with you.
The first contact is favorable, and
you seek him out and talk about
subjects, and before you
know it you have discovered that
he is a first c>ass fellow. You are
a better man because you I’now him
and he is much nappier because he
knows you. What a privilege!
“When you have widened youi
circle of friends you are richer by
far, than if you had increased youi
bank account. Let us then remem
ber that: ‘The only way to have a
friend is to be one,’ and seek tc
learn men.”
Another question that receives
major thought and attention of al;
civic clubs, is THE BOY. Th<
clubs recognize the fact that the
boy of today is the man of tomor
row.
The civic clubs work directly
WITH the boy in many instances,
and in others they are working
FOR the boy, for, as Edgar Guest
says:
Some day the world will need a
man of courage in a time oi
doubt,
And somewhere, as i little boy,
that future hero plays about. '
Within spma humble home, nc
doubt, that instrument of great
•er things
New climbs upon his father’s’ knee
or to his mother’s garment
clings.
And when shall come that call for
him to render service that is fine,
He that shall do God’s mission here
may be your little boy or mine.
Some day the world will need a
man! I stand beside his cot at
night
And wonder if I’m teaching him, as
"best I can, to know the right.
I am the father of a boy—his
I’fe is mine to make or mar—
And he no better can become than
what mv daily teachings are;
There will be need for someone
'great I dare not falter from
the line—
The man that is to serve the world
may be that little boy of mine.
Long vears of preparation mark the
pathway for the splendid souls,
And generations live and' die and
seem no nearer to their goals.
And yet the purpose of it all, the
fleeting pleasure and the woe,
The laughter and the grief of life
. that all who come to earth must
know
May be to pave the way for one—
’ one man to serve the Will Divine
And it is possible that he may be
• yodr little boy or mine.
1 Perhaps your boy and mine may
0 not ascend the lofty heights of
J fame;
■ The orders for their births are hid.
• We know not why to earth they
came
• Yet in some little bed tonight the
’ great man of tomorrow sleeps
And only He who sent him here, the
secret of His purpose keeps.
As fathers then our care is this—
to keep in mind the Great
Design.
The man the world shall need some
day may be your little boy or
mine.
Again we quote from the Rotary
Messenger of recen dtate, for it
says:
“The responsibility of training a
boy <• the greatest task that could
come to a man. If it is your boy
the responsibility is even greater
and the possibility of service to the
world is greatly increased. Be
cause of this fact, and the added
fact that Rotary stands for the
boy, we should take seriously the
opportunity to serve by giving the
boys a chance.
"The boy makes the mart The
man of the future is vitally con
nected with the boy of today. That
boy’s life now will determine his
life thirty years from now. His
■conduct now may I even affect
generations vet unborn. There
fore it is of great importance to
see that he is properly cared for
and trained.”

COMMENT
CORDELE WANTS A FURNI
TURE FACTORY
A local citizen, seeing what
Judge If. V. Whipple had writ
en about a furniture factory
—a man who can back up what
• he says with the money—advises
today that he is ready to start.
He is an experienced furniture
man and wants to specialize in
dining room suits, two grades. He
finds a shortage in these goods
all over the country and belives
a factory here for these alone
will make a financial get away
that will make every man with
a dollar in it smile.
This man wants nineteen oth
er men with five thousand dol
lars each. His' idea is that a
hundred thousand dollars in
plant and operating capital will
be necessary.—Cordelei Disr

$500,000 A MONTH PROFIT
FROM CANAL.
a The dispatches carry the inter

Panama canal is proving a bonan
r, za for Uncle Sam. Tolls are
pouring in at the rate of $2,,-
o 000,000 a month, with net prof
t- its running well over $500,000
• a month. This coifntry has nev
e er had cause to regret the in
t vestment which “married the
seas and divorced . the contin

i, that use the canal also find that
e they achieve an immense saving
>. in being able to cut off 3,000
miles .in crossing from the Pa

Edwin S. Martin, in his re

“ Collier’s on idealists,
says. “Os all idealists, the most
a potent are the great mothers,
who see light ahead, and turn
the face of infancy toward it,

hood where to look.” To our
d knowledge, the thing has never
been said better.—Macon Tele

Betty has dolls that can almost talkj
And dolls that can roll their eyes,
And dolls which, wound with a key/wiM walk,
But the one that she seems to| prize,'
The one that she holds supremely dear
And constantly packs about, '
Has a broken nose and a battered ear,
And half of the sawdust out.
She keeps the others in solemn state
And playsAvith them more gr less,
But treats them all in away sedate
And keeps them in party dress;
But the broken dolly—aren’t children queer?—
She hugs to her baby breast.
The doll with the broken nose and ear
Is the one that she loves best! '

And maybe that is the reason why
A woman will fondly cling
To the sort of a man whom the world may eye
As a broken anil useless thing;
She’ll stick through many a hopeless year
To a weak and a wastrel lout,
With a crippled soul, and a smashed career
And half of the sawdust out.

Lenin
Dr. Furster, celebrated German
medical specialist who treated Len
in, says: “One of the causes of
Lenin’s disease is a bullet that was
fired by a l revolutionary girl, and
in his neck it hurt one of the main
ateries, the feeding of the brain
by’ the blood is becoming gradual
ly diminished and he is dying be
cause his brain dries up.”
At that, Lenin may have a
chance. For if drying up of the
brain were always fatal, few of us
would live beyond 40.
Longer
We Americans are gluttons so:
punishment, seem to thrive o’l
trouble. The Census Bureau re
ports that the average length of life '
increased three and a third years '
during 1921, a year of hard times.
One reason for this is that we ‘
fight harder to live when the strug- '
gle for existence becomes more se
vere. Nothing is more consuming, :
even fatal, than a “soft life.”
Against
The Knights of the Blazing Ring,
which arfnounces itself “against all
clan and klans,” claims that its
membership is growing like wildfire.
Sounds reasonable. As soon as
a Society-for becomes powerful, up
rises a Society-Against to efit it
down. Nature by volcanic up
heaval creates a mountain, then in
stantly starts destroying it by eros
ion. This three-dimensional uni
verse of ours has an inexorable
system of checks and balances. Just
a matter of time.
It’s a pity that all the battle
ships afloat car’t be turned fiver to
the junkmen. As long as the world
packs' a gun, there’s bound to be ’
shooting. No permanent peace un
til there’s complete* disarmament.
Coal
Sixty days ago the president of
a large coal company said to us:
“There’s a surplus of 100 million
tons of soft coal in the United
States. An anthracite strike would
cause a lot of hard coa: consum
ers to turn to soft coal, thereby
eating into this surplus. With no
strike, the price of soft coal to con
sumers should drop considerably
this coming winter.”
(’ne result of the average coal
strike is to creat? a fat and pros
perous market for 4he coal indus
try.
Warmth
Theater managers say that mys
tery plays and comedies make the
audiences’ blood circulate fast, by
stimulating the heart, which in turn
turn makes the bodies«of the watch
ers generate more heat. Some
managers even claim that this in
creased heat radiates into the air
sufficiently to raise the tempera
ture of the theaters several de
grees.
No one minds cold when excited.
In a pinch, maybe, we could use
Nick Carter and the funny paper as
coal substitutes.
