These are the features that the community as well as tie county at large should enjoy. * On th3 occasion we had with us Supt.W. H. Maxwell of Ros well, Suit. W. T.

Linton, of BalLGroind, Col, Lattimore and Mr. Smih Johnson of Woodstock We are huebted to all these par ties for heir kindness on this oc casion. As thii was an incomplete tri angle tfe'.t Cumming and Canton were plaieu on, it took the form of what s known as a draw de bate a*k the side winning the most points has the decision. On this occasion Cumming won at Canton four points and at heme they won one point, which made a score o’ five points to the cred it of Cunming and only a score of three points for Canton High School.

Home Circle Column. Pleasant Evening Reveries—A Column Dedi cated to Tired Mothers as They Join the Home Circle at Evening Tide. Statistics prove that there is a relative number of incom petent parents to incorrigible children. Of course the par ents in their turn may not have had proper rearing, but the fact remains that these neglected children will be criminals, the paupers, and the undesirables in the society of the future High school boys and some not so high demand the priv ilege of attending pool halls. Now' why should a pool hall be a good man’s special aversion for his son? Certainly not because there is anything wrong with the game of pool but because in many places a very undesirable class of people frequent pool halls because it is a place of leisure, where they are always sure of company and where they are not con stantly and unpleasantly reminded of work. But when boys are told by officers to keep away from such places they very impudently inform the officers that “they should mind their own business. Father doesn’t care,” This may not be the literal truth but it'is proof that the lad does not entertain any very high degree of respect for his father and that, unless the boy happens to be a degenerate, is the father’s fault. But many fathers are lacking in any sanse of responsibili ty. They would rather their sons w'ould hang about the pool halls than stay at home in the evenings for fear some of their own leisure hours may be distuibed. It is useless and avails nothing to condemn the pool room proprietor for allowing youngsters in his place of business. If the parents do not object, why should he make himself the guardian of their morals. What is really needed is the education of the parents in their duty toward their children. A place to rleep and eat and clothes to wear is not sufficient. Parents owe their chil dren much more than this and they are indeed unnatural pa rents if instinct does not inform them of their further duties. Young people are often-wishing their lives away, little thinking how enjoyable the piesent may he. They are con- looking forward to things next week, next month, or next year, and wishing that the time would fly by until the longed-for hour ariives. But little do they realize that they are foregoing many pleasures in the meantime, due to the fact that they are not making the most of the passing min utes. But as age creeps on this fault vanishes, and we are only too glad to prolong each hour. Wo do not hear so much any more on the evils of ciga rette smoking. Is it that they have paled into insignificance w'hen compared with other evils or is it that our morals are becoming so generally corrupted that cigarette smoking is no longer an evil? Certainly there are evils which on the surface appear much more flagrant than the evil of smoking cigarettes but just how much the greater evils may have grown out of the lesser ones it is impossible to say. It is our private opinion, however, that the growing boy who smokes cigarettes need not worry about his future. He has none: Formerly when thieves broke into liquor stores and saloons and stole wet goods and money, the liquor men would promptly invoke the aid of the sheriff and police in running down the thieves and bringing them to justice. Do we see any of the brewers or liquor men nowadays making com plaint to the authorities about the violation of tne prohibition law? No. All one notices are the sneets in the wet news papers and a contemptuous pointing to the impossibility of enforcing prohibition. With tne great demand on the Fed eral government for money, it is impossible to get much for use in prohibition enforcement, and only a comparatively small number of law violators are brought to account. How ever, the drys must not get discouraged. It would be atiag edy, if the saloon were again inflicted on the nation, and vig ilance is necessary if we are to keep what we have gained. The liquor business never was an advantage to anyone ex cept the brewers and distillers, and we should not be influ enced to vote for light wines and beer simply because a few law breakers and men howlersin each of the big centers are denouncing the prohibition law as a failure. “Education always means higher wages.” NO- l?
