Ambrose Lozo, aged 91, was
granted a divorce at Chicago
from his .third wife last week,
and in tnanKing me juoge, nejand neCessariiy the manufac
remarked that "women were , turers ane forced t0 curtail or re.
getting wprsfi with every gener
ation." "My first wife was pret
ty good," he explained; "My
second wife was just medium,
and the third no good at. all."
He says he is through with them
all now, and will go on and live
to be an "old man" free from
matrimonial ties.
Preparations are already be
ing under way for producing the
famous "Passion Play" in the
German town of Oberammcrgau,
Bavaria, in 1922. Thirty per
formances will be given, as was
the case in 1900 and 1910. Lang,
who enacted the role of Jesus
Christ in the two previous plays,
will again take that part. Those
who are to take part have already
begun 'letting their hair and
beards grow out so that there
will be no occasion for using wigs
or make-up next year.
Two Rockingham ladies saw
this play in 1910 Mrs. W. C.
Leak and Mrs. C. P. Stewart
(formerly Miss Lottie Linton.)
Four honor cottages and a re
ceiving cottage are now being
built at Samarcand, a force of 150
men being employed. The Car
olina Construction Co., of Ham
let, "has the contract. This work
will be completed by Nov. 1st. A
screened pavilion has just been
completed and is being used as a
dormitory for the overflow, tak
ing care of 48 girls. There are
more girls at tha school than
there is room, and even the small
hospital is being used as a dormi
tory.
Among the many things the
school is doing for these girls is
teaching domestic science, sew.
ing, art and needlecraft, cooking
and household duties. The girls
do all the work around the in
stitutionthe laundry, cooking
gardening and even do the plow
ing and hoeing for the farm. It
is a great work, and the State is
not spending a penny too little in
it. i
Almost over the ente world
i I
tne nottest weatner oi years nas
been experienced this summer
lit France the river Seine that
runs by Paris is at the lowest
stage ever known; so sluggish and
muddy is the water that ffslv by
the thousands are dying and
floating on top. Electrical storms
everywhere have been of greater
intensity than usual and power
companies have had their
troubles. Which calls to mind
the uniformly good service we
Rockingham folks get from man
ager Egerton and his crew of the
Yadkin River Power Company.
The electric elements often cause
a knockout, but the force is in
stantly on the job, any time of
night or Sunday, and the current
is soon restored. Often unjust
strictures are indulged in by thei
thoughtless when the current
goes off, but such does no good
other thon to get on the nerVes
of efficient men who are doing
their best to get things righted.
So when the elements knock the
current off next time, just re
member that Egerton's crowd
are on the job' and are even
more anxious than you to restore
things.
It would seem that "a second
calm'' had struck the cotton mill
industry of the New England
states, due to an absence of buy
ing orders. The merchants ev
erywhere are doing a hand-to-
mouth business, such is the slack
demand on the part of the public;
duce the price of their product to
the point where a demand will be
created. The New England mills
have again reduced wages to the
end that the manufactured
product can be reduced. Our
folks down South who have jobs'
are much better off than the
Northern employees, hundred! of
thousands of whom are out of jobs
and manv others working at
I wages that have been reduced
much below the Southern scale.
If you've got a job, stick to it. ,
, Fifth Firm Fails.
John S. Sapp and W. H. .Meigs,
trading as Palinorsville Mercantile
Company, at Badin. went into bank
ruptcy last week, making the fifth
firm to go under at Badin this year.
The big aluminum plant at Badin
was closed down six months ago,
due to the depression, and the un
expected close-down caused the
larger portion of the residents to
leave.

On the
Thursday Health Talk27
By Mary Lou Miller,
D. C. Pb. C.
The "Glad Girls" and
other philosophers of op
timism urge that we look
for the sunny side, and
we do, within certain hu
man limitations. But the
chap who easily sees the
sunny side is the one who
is never sick.
When everybody knows
chiropractic, and mothers
begin using the chiroprac
tor to put the growing
bodies of infants into con
dition to prevent sickness
then a pessimist will be
hard to find. Health is
a matter of spinal me
chanics, and the chiro
practor is the master me
chanic who restoies the
conditions of health.
-Just at this-season suf
ferers from bronchitis,
tonsilitis. lumbago, rhu
matism, conghs, colds, in
fluenza and headaches
are finding chiropractic
spinal adjustments a way
back to health. Try chi
ropractic first
ll Htdtk Anything to Yo.
To those who have it
not, health is everything
in the world. This being
true, whv then should any
man neglect finding out
what chiropractic will do
for him?
NO CHftCE
Consultation is without
charge or obligation.
