’Ians lor Christian Endeavor
Convention Being Completed
The plans for the Paris District
Christian Endeavor Convention are
rapidly nearing completion, large
delegations being assured-from Par
is, Clarksville, Texarkana, Atlanta
and Cooper, and one or two from
various other places in the district.
The Paris District comprises nine
counties, and due to the large in-
crease in organization of Christian
Endeavor Societies during the past
year approximately 150 delegates
are expected.
The date of the Convention has
been set for September 18, 19, 20,
and the sessions will be held in the
First Presbyterian Church.
All phrases of Christian Endeavor
work will be discussed by experts in
their own prticular line, and the so-
cial side of the Convention will be
well taken care of.
Among the educational plans for
the Convention, are those for an Ex-
pert Endeavor Class, to be taught ac-
cording to the plans used in the local
society, which has won so much fav-
orable comment from Christan En-
deavor workers all over the State.

THE

buyers and sellers have been made through the
classified ad columns of the Times Review and The
Daily Times, If you want—or have for sale—a
house, a chair, a pig, a fur coat or freshly laid eggs
—you’ll find the classified ads a source of quick
action.
Do you want a lawn swing?—Then ask for it
through our classified ads. Have you a lawn swing
you’d like to sell ? Then tell the world through our
classified ads. Our classified ads get results for
both buyer and seller. An ad in our classified costs
os little,—only 5 cents per line.
Your “AD” to 15
Royalty of almost every country,
says the New York World, seems to
be singularly responsive to informal
American manners. Perhaps it act-
ually welcomes an opportunity t'
deal with fellow-humanity without
the obstructions of court etiquette.
A dispatch tells how King George of
England, while taking in the exhi •
bits at the Wembley Exposition, was
accosted by an American who came 1
bustling up through the crowd lead- j
ing a boy by the hand. j
“Shake hands with America, King!”
exclaimed the American genially. j
And the King shook hands, i. id to
make u thorough job of it shook j
hands also with the boy. It is like
the story of the Prince of Wales on
his first trip oevr here. A newspap-
er reporter, with a green photograph-
er on his hands, was having a hard
time getting a picture. So, mopping
his brow, he bawled:
“Hey, Prince! Park your royal body
over here, will you, so this dumb-
bell can get a shot!”
And the Prince laughed and posed
as directed.
It is like the story told at Annapo-
lis about the Queen of Denmark. The
midshipmen a few years ago were on
their summer cruise, and a great ball
was given in their honor at Copen-
hagen. And about halfway through
the festivities a midshipman was
seen wandering about disconsolately.
Finally he approached the Queen, and
without formality came to the point:
“Say, Queen,” he said, “do you
know where I can get a piece of
cake?”
And again royalty showed itself to
be human. The Queen left her post,
found a whole cake and tied it up
between two phonograph records for
the midshipman to take home.—

| A SPECIAL COMEDY
For many years missionaries have
been the carriers of light education—
the vanguard of civilization in unen-
lightened countries.
Radio has become a rival, or per-
haps ai, abetting force, taking to the
peoples of the earth another side of
American life, the frivolity, the out-
come of the age of jazz.
At any rate, nobody begrudges the
Eskimo his syncopated melodies nor
the jazz dances that he, no doubt has
created for his music—dances that
can be done in spite of fur caps and
coats. Anything that will liven up
the life of the fellow snowed under
ought to be welcome.
And it should be interesting to list-
en to the interpretation of a folk
music that started on “Africa's Cor-
al Strand” and now, through the
medium of science and invention, has
reached what is the old song’s idea
of the other end of the world.—Dallas

COTTON GINNED TO
DATE MUCH MORE
THAN LAST YEAR
The number of bales of cotton
ginned in the United States up to
August 1st this year amounts to ov-
er seven times the number ginned
on the same date last year. This is
caused by the extreme dry weather in
the southwest part of the cotton
zone, and especially in south and cen-
tral Texas.
Up to August 1st, this year there
had been ginned 159,373 bales and
last year at the same time there hail
been ginned 31,795 bales, while in
1923 there had been ginned 64,381
bales.
