SOME BORN TO BE POPULAR
Persons With Happy Disposition Are
to Be Envied, Though It Can
Be Acquired.
Those who are born to be popular
are not envious, and not fractious,
and not ill-natured, and not hyper
critical ; and whatever their opin
ions, they believe at heart that life
is pleasant and the world in no great
need of reform.
Indeed, the most essential ingredi
ent in congenital popularity is con
tent, and next to that the power to
take on the mental color of one's
company.
If there is any other essential, it
may be described as entertain ing
ness. But this does not mean that
the popular person must be amusing,
but only that his presence and con
versation have a tendency to destroy
self-consciousness, self-criticism, and
that sense of the lagging of the social
clock which destroys social amenity,
producing stagnation among one set
of people and a barbarian boistcrous
uess in another.

The Colored School
The Colored School of McCro
rv has been taught three suc
cessful years by the present
teacher. The school has made
much progress under adverse
circumstances. The teachers
have put forth every good effort
and availed themselves of every
opportunity to secure the co-op
eration of the parents and citi
zenship of McOrory, that the
school might be raised to a high
er standard for training without
coercion which is nonproductive
in training the mind for good cit
izenship.
Because of dissatisfaction pre
sented by some parents and the
general lack of support from the
parents and colored citizenship
I offer, mv resignation at the
close of this term. I humbly
thank the Board of Education
for its heartv support during my
administration.

( KNOW VALUE OF ADVERTISING
American Business Firms Have Found
Just How Much Publicity Can Be
Brought to Aid Progress.
“There has been a greater develop
' ment in advertising than in any
! other phase of American commercial
' life in ten years.”
So declared Samuel C. Dobbs, for
mer president of the Associated Ad
vertising Clubs of the World, in an
address before the Toledo organiza
| tioii recently.
"Knowing Your Job,” was the
! subject of the address. In it Mr.
Dobbs emjffiasized the importance of
a man’s spending morning, noon and
night in learning every detail of his
work. “In no other way can he suc
ceed,” Mr. Dobbs said.
“Advertising' in this country is
ahead of that in any other part of
the world,” the speaker asserted.
“Advertising is the great vehicle of
merchandising; it is the producer
; of efficiency. It is by means of ad
! vertising that the manufacturer in
Toledo can present his goods to the
man in Texas, and sell them.”
As an indication of the great de
velopment in advertising in this
country, Mr. Dobbs said that a
decade ago there was no such or
I ganization as the Associated Adver
j tising Clubs of the World. Now it
has 13,000 members in this country.
“Ten years ago a man who sug
gested teaching advertising in col
leges and universities would have
been called crazy,” he said. “Today
this subject i s taught in fifty-four
American colleges.”—Toledo Blade.
THE PLACE FOR THEM
Jest—Of course Noah must have
taken bees with him.
Josh—Oh, certainly.
Jest—Just think how they must
have stung the animals while they
flew about.
Josh—Oh, I guess Noah kept
them shut up in the archives.
NATURAL PRIDE.
“Why is Dubwaite’s chest so in
flated this morning?”
“Oh, he’s strutting about town
and boasting that he has an iron
will.”
“But why?”
“He hasn’t smoked in a week.”
CAUSE AND EFFECT.
“Your brother has the earache.”
“It serves him right,” answered
the small boy’s sister. “Teacher has
told him time and again he ought
not to play the piano by ear.”
MAY BE OF VALUE TO ARMY
Small Motorcycle, Operated at Small
Expense, Expected to Be Adopted
by War Department.
Some interesting experiments
were made recently by Capt. Frank
E. Evans of the United States Ma
rine corps with a view toward estab
lishing the practicability of a small
motorcycle recently designed by a
well-known inventor.
A private, equipped - m heavy
marching order, tried out the ma
chine, says Popular Science Month
ly. He had had no previous experi
ence with automobiles or motor
cycles, yet his success in operating
it has led to the belief that it would
be a welcome addition to the fight
ing equipment of our soldiers.
The machine will carry as much
as 300 pounds and attain a speed of
25 miles an hour, although its
weight is but 50 pounds. It takes
hills easily. Private Davis, who
tried it out, found no difficulty in
ascending a 14-degree incline.
The machine is so small that it
will turn around corners without
danger. It is also so light that it
may be lifted over any ordinary ob
stacle. One of the tests consisted
in riding it up to a four-foot fence,
stopping the engine, and lifting the
machine over the fence, all of which
was done with very little delay.
The dimensions of the little ma
chine are 48 inches by 9 inches by
18 inches. It is small enough to be
a plaything. Yet it will carry 300
pounds for 50 miles at an operating
expense of ten cents.
THE RESULT.
“What a peculiar gait your friend
has.”
“That is because he is always on
the fence.”
