"HERE SHAH, UNAWEP BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAOLn VOLUMN XVlI WEDNESDAY JANUARY S NUMBER 25 MAN BEHIND THE PLOW.National Pay-Up Week Being Wide ly Inaugurated. Exchange. ' Whnt promises to become an an n u a l national event Bas been In augurated as Natioual Pay-JJp Week, February 2126, inclusive. Credit is one of the great assets of our preseut day system of busi ness, but like many another gbod thing, it is sometimes abused and overdone; and because so inaEiy people are careless about paying V their accounts, there are millions in out Tfi ft. • 0r '-fI I upon millions of dollars etanding accounts in this country today that could be paid without inconveniencing the debtor, and if all these millions of dollars were put into circulation during one week, there would be the greatest week of prosperity ever known in this country. While credit is a great thing, it at the same time I ecomes a tax when abused. The: man who does not pay his debts pays penalty or or tax every time he buys a dollar’s worth of merchandise; not only must he pay this tax, but the man who pays his debts is compelled Pii bear his share of this unjust tax— a tax collected in increased price on the commodities of life occasion ed by the failure of the debtor to pay his bills. It is often said that the custom^- ere of the retail merchants who pay cash pay more for their/ merchan dise than they should,, because they have to pay for what a dead beat gets without paying, and there is much truth in the statement, too -the man who pays bis bills, pays cash, does really pay more, for the tufu extends credit to his custom ers," and, therefore, every business interest should be interested in Va National Pay Up Week. If local people in towns would make it point to pay th e . doctor, the preacher, the grocer and all other merchants, and the merchant make it a -point to pay the. wholesaler and the jobber, and. the wholesaler to pay the manufacturer during this week, Febrnary 21-26, there would be more dollars put in circulation in this country than Were ever started moving during the same length of time. a! good slogan to be used from now till National Pay-Up Week would be,“ You pay your bills—I will pay mine, February 21 26.” Wants Whippiog Port Revived. The New Bern Sun wants to see the whipping po§t revived. It says: ciYearB ago lawmakers said that the whipping post was a symbol Cf barbarism . and abolished it. inf taking this action they deprived the country of one of the greatest crime preventatives it ever had and did mankind an injustice. TJie whipping post is. in a way, brutal, but if every town and city in-North Carolina and every other state In the union had such within its bordets;..crime would be de creased at least fifty per cent, A t present it is the custom to place a fine on a man charged with tome minor offense. Not alone does he suffer, but if the fine has to be paid by some relative, others niust: also suffer. W ith the whipping post in existence, about one trip . to it would cure him of all indication commodities qfcllfBkHnmm i-jsll .j^lm# ^ i||BBt|e>s> h dwwtiisv«s»'--ivlr^li pay because so many'do not pay. National Pay-Up Week bad its beginning in the little city of Waukou, Iowa, a county seat of but little over 2,000 population at the end of a little railway in the northeastern part of the state of Iowa. Waukon is a beautiful little city, and a busy business center, but the people of that community are like the people in many another town an d community—that, is, some of them have, during the past ten years, bought 'goodB for which they never paid, until the week of January 9-15,1915, the principal of the high school, who happens to be tecretUry of the Commercial Club, suggested that it would be a good thing for Waukon to have a day of reckoning, or rather, a week „ of reckoning. Tbeidea appealed to the business men of W aukon, more particularly to the merchants who had considerable money in outstanding accounts. So the week of January 9 15 was advertised as Puy Up Week, au d . during that time in this little city, #50,000 in old accounts was wiped off the books of the local business houses. Everybody seemed to join In the spirit, and consequently all found it easy to pay their debts. And it is needless to say that prosperity reigned in that town, for it means something to a town of 2,000 popu lation to lift a debt of #60,000 in one week’s time, and especially when part of the debt is so old that it has been considered uccollecti ble. The results of Pay-Up Week at- Waukon were so good that the Jlerchants Trade Ji utnal, a nation al magazine read by retail mer chants in Gvery town of any con sequence in the entire country, told iis readers of the success of the Waukon people in paying their , debts and urged business men in 0Jher towns to give greater atteu- lion to their collections, aod soon 0^ er lufl Uh began tryiog Plfe “ all with splendid resultii.; And Jl0w tlle eutire country seems ready °r this extraordinary event of national Pay-Up Week. Our credit is national in its icope. ■ 6 manufacturer extends credit I'lt it ^obber* the jobber carries the a - merchant, the merchant in ;• ;cv:#?k.. s& 4 allowed to go his way upon the payment of a small sum, he again and again commits crime. Some of these days the whipping post Js coming back iuto existence and it will be a great day when the law makers agree that it shall be law ful to chastise the law breakers for their misdeeds instead of placing a fine upon them or sending them to jail.” The Gist of It. “Last December I had a very severe cold and was nearly down sick In bed. I bought two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and it was only a very few days until I was completely restored to health,” writes 0. J. Metcalf, Weather- by, Mo.

Fifty years ago nobody h e a rd di appendicitis; Alao.no one heard of the automobile. - Now a . man pannot hes& idtobe up to dato un less he lias had appendicitis, while thedoctor aud the automobile are boon companions. Appendicitis is a peculiar pain ip the" region of the vest pocket, which is Iater transferred to the region ot the check book pocket. It is said by some people to be a disease.

Ii can be redutsed' by butsidemani pUlutioD, orit can be oat out. In the latter case, the appendix is not reduced, but the surgeon’s billcan, by con and economy, be reduced in installments to a normalsize, A great many people have bad explorations made in their interiors by surgeons in search of appendi citis, aod most of them have sur vived.

People who have no appendixlaii arrogant about it no . pasts. ^ Between people who have been divorced from their ap pendix and people who have been to Europe, life is hardly worth living for the common skates who can’t afford to have alterations and improvements made on them every year or two. Tbeappendix was formerly a member in good standing of the human body, but it was discovered that it was not only useless, but stirted up trouble by diverting ob jects from their proper path through the human system and then getting swelled np over it. When this was . found ont, the doom of the appendix was sealed. Thus it is evident that the- appen dix i-> no politician,- A politician can be perfectly useless, all swelled up and can divert; anything from an assistant’s salary to a grand piano from .the body politic, and yet the people very rarely cut him out. Too Many Laws. Most of the men who'get elected to legislatures, state or national, are lawyers and of course their cipitol business is to -make laws.

TT❖ tT❖ fTT TT TTZ HORrWOHNSTONE CO J$ MANUFACTURERS ‘THAT GOOD Ip D OF FLOUR.” I'I inra poo ONE THOUSAND, SIX HUNDRED = HOMES ARE BURNED EVERY WEEK IN AMERICA. ' TIME TO WAKE UP AND THINK .Tlme to Tell the People Who Are Pay ing the Bills and Just What it is Costing Them for These Fires. ' “It is time to wake up and think of .it It is time for the business man to wake up. It is time for the insurance companies to wake up. It is time for us to tell the people who are paying the bills just what it is costing them, • “In America every week we burn up two hospitals, three jails, three thea-. tres, ten churches, two colleges and ’twelve schoolhouses. Itis something to think of. Twenty-six hotels, 140 apart ment buildings, and 1,600 dwelling houses. Sixteen hundred of them are burning up every week. The average American family consists of five. If 1,600 homes are destroyed then 8,000 persons. are rendered temporarily homeless on account of fire: Some thing to take into consideration, 8,000 people. “The most astonishing statement of all is that twelve schoolhouses every week are burned up in this civilized country. Are your children . safe? Sometimes I believe that we are not going to get very.far In.this campaign of .fire -prevention until the ladies are Interested in i t I wonder if they know that twelve schoolhouses a week are being burned. They burn like saturated kindling. “If is a terrible thing to burn up all this property every day, but the 10S9 of life- is much more heart-rending. I believe it is a conservative estimate that on the average nine persons lose their lives every week in America on account of fire. “Fire prevention is such a simple, sane .and reasonable proposition that it seems almost incredible that our business men have not insisted on its adoption years ago. The Federal gov ernment says that by the introduction of proper laws and building codes our fire losses can be reduced seventy per cent if not more. The time is here for co-operation In fire prevention work by every Individual In this country. “One great handicap to -this work is that a great many of us thought that this campaign was for the especial benefit of the insurance companies But this audience tonight is an evidence that that idea is disappointing.”—L. H. Stubbs. * HOW CAN YOU TELL A OOOD SCOUT. In school: He keeps to the right on walks, In halls, going up and down stairs. He goes up and down stairs one step at a time. He looks where he runs. ; He doesn’t jostle In a crowd. , He doesn’t bully the little fellows. He sees that the little chaps have a fair chance on the playground and that they don’t get hurt. Cat of school: He does not walk on railroad bridges ’ or tracks. { I He does not walk around lowered gates or crawl under them, i - He does not jump off moving trains, I cars, or engines. i: He; does not crawl over, under, or I lmtween cars. !, He does not loiter around railroad I stations or cars or play-on or > around turntables. He does not cross tracks without re- ,. membering to stop, look, and Hs- i . ten.; ' He looks where he .goes and keeps ' to.the right. He crosses at regular crossings, not ,, in Uie middle of the tiDock. I'- HevIooks out for automobiles turn ing corners. • ! He looks and listens for danger sig-i {' nals. and heeds them.; ' ; He plays safe, as'much Qmr the other fellow’s sake aB his Own. PRIMARY SCHOOL EXITS. I Our feeling is that tire most rell- ;'able, efficient and satisfactory means of exit from a primary school bonding are stairways enclosed where: possi ble. Stairways to/be used almost ex clusively by small children should, of course, be adapted to their skature. The Ohio State building code requires •that In primary schools the xise of isteps shall not exceed six indhes, and the Width of tread shall be^ not less than eleven Inches. This proportion would give an easy and srtfe footing I for both ascent and descenji. Windera In such stairways should In prohibit- 'sd, and handrails should hie', provided •On eachside.- School buildings'^should «id With at- least -two-* such •means of exit. In our JudEment the ordinary fire escape should hot be (per mitted.—Ira H. Woodson. PREVENT FKES IN HOME Number of Simple Rules That If Fol lowed Would Practically Elimi nate All Firee In Homes. Fires In the home are easier to pre vent than to extinguish. •- Practically every fire originating In a dwelling house is due to carelessness or neglect. The attic, - cellar, --and -all clothes closets should Be cleaned at least once a year and all useless' material and rubbish removed and.burned. In storing' clothing, remove all matches and other material from the pockets. Do not hang clothes near hot chimneys. Do not go into clothesN closets with lighted matches or candles. Use only safety matches and keep them away from the children. Never throw burned matches on the floor or into waste baskets. ; Do not use inflammable shades on lamps, candles or electric light bulbs. Coal oil lamps should always be filled by daylight. They should be kept clean and properly trimmed. A dirty lamp is unsafe. J Especial care should be taken in the home to prevent fires front starting, be cause when they do start (there is sel dom a man about to extinguish them. Where women and children are hous ed, the utmost vigilance is necessary on the part of those responsible for their welfare. A fuse, is the “safety valve” of an electric system, and should never be replaced by one of larger size-or of any other material. Do not allow paper or rubbish to ac cumulate behind steam coils or radia tors. Gas stoves should never be connect ed up with rubber tubing: Gas pipe, rigid and secure, is the only safe con nection. Rags and ,cloths saturated with cleaning and- polishing oils may ignite spontaneously in a few hours. Burn them at once. Be careful of ashes. Do not deposit them against wooden buildings or fences. See that there are no live coals. Far better to pour a pail of water over them than to take the risk of a strong wind carrying live coals and starting fires. Never allow little children to carry lamps, and never set lamps on a table cover. Children may pull them over. SIX GLASSES - OF WATER DAILY An Interesting Statement by One of the Big Men In the Drug Business SCHOOL EXITS. The best means of escape In case of fire for a school building where most of the pupils are small children is, in m y . opinion, a horizontal escape through an opening In a fire wall bi secting the building, the opening properly protected on both sides by self-closing fireproof doors. There should preferably be on (one side of the opening a sliding door held back on a fusible link, and on the other side a self-closing swinging door. This means of escape is the most efficient not only for a school Building, but also for any other kind cif a building. If a vertical escape must; be provided Instead of a horizontal escape, a Phil adelphia firo ( tower is best. If this cannot be provided an interior en closed stairwiay is next Best. Outside iron balcony !fire ’escapes; w e subject to serious objections.—J. D. Hammitt. UNSAFE FLUES. Statistics show that at least 26 per cent of the -fires in this State are caused by -,defective chimneys and flues. Of course all of these fires could have been prevented and ’should have been prevented, if the parties building the chimneys and fines Bad • followed our building -laws governing these matters, especially In regard to lining these chimneys and fines with fire clay Unlng."

THE PEOPLgs MGHTS MAlNTAHh UNAWED BY DffLUENCE AND UNBiUBED NV GAMi VOLUMN XVll MOCXSVILLE. NORTH CAKOUVtA: WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 12. 1916 Political Gossip From Washington. Washiugton, Jan. 7.—“ Keep vonr eye on Indiana in the election of IOlt!,” said a middle west con gressman in the Bepnblican boose lobby, a day or two since. “ This State is going to swiog back once more into the Republican ranks. The trend is all that way. I have already heard rumors that three or lour Democratic congressmen from that state are seriously considering declining to be candidates for re- eliction and it is said that already two have openly stated that they would retire. Theycan see the handwriting on .the wall. The political pendum is surely swing jDg towards republicanism in In diana and no one realizes it better than the Democrats themselves” “New England will be in line solidly behind the Republican can didate for president in 1916,” said Congressman Cyru9 A. Sulloway of jbe first New Hampshire district, to acrowd of colleagues in the house. ‘ Up in my State we have control of all branches of the' State government and this fall the cities which have beep boldiog elections during the months of Kovember and thus far in December have been showing big ttepnblican gains. For instance, Rochester, one of our cities which had an election only a few days ago elected every city of ficial from the Republican ticket, something that has not taken place since the city was incorporated. The people of Kew England who have been hit hard by the tariff policy of the Democratic, party, are afler everything with the Demo cratic label, natiobuil; 'S ta te a n d municipal.” v- HR, N .C . “Politics in this country is get ting back to normal c >nditiot.s,” said former Congressman Adam Bede ot Minnesota to some friends in the Capitol the other day. “This m ans Repnblican success, for wh n the countty is normal the Re publican party is in the ascendancy. AU through the middle' west these conditions prevail and there is every reason for every Republican to feel cheerful and happy when he takes a peek at the future. Senator J. W. Kern, oi Indiana, the Democratic floor leader of the Senate has a natural aversion for “plug” hats. Occasionally circum* slauces compel him to don one, but according to his own views be never feels quite right or natural wben he is adorned with this tall, shiny headgear. His hostility to the “plug” hat date9 way back to the time he was a young map in Kokomo, Iudiana. One day a dapper fellow blew iuto that town attired fit to kill and surmounting his dome was a brand new shining beaver. About that time along came young kern and he took just oue look at that hat, made a swipe atitwith his right band, knock ing it to the sidewalk and then he proceeded to jump on it with both feet. As the story goes it cost the present senator $10 to make the hat good and as the ten dollar bills were not so plentiful with him then us now, it naturally caused him to lake a dislike to “ plug” bats and the feud is still on today. Latitudiuously, Kew Hampshire today walks off with the persim mons in the lower branch of con gress. That rock-ribbed New Eng land state has thirteen feet of law makers in the house. It only takes a couple of congressmen to soar to this dizzy human height. No other state in the Union can produce a pair of statesmen whose apex is io near the clouds. When these two members stand up in their seats on l*>e flour of the house? the ^>eop$B iu the galleries have to look op to them. They are Congressman ‘‘Cy” Siilloway who is 6 feat and 7 mches from tip to toe and his new colleague, Representative Edward *K 'Vason, who almost tpucbesihe foot and fcve inches-mark. : ‘ ‘ We certainly ■, showed Demo NUMBER 26 cracy onr heels in Pennsplvania at the last election” said a prominent congressman from, to several mem bets in the house lobby a day or two since. “ In the 63d congress t he delegation stood 18 Republicans J 2 Democrats and:’. 6 progressives. VVhen the smoke of battle bad cleared away at the election ol a year ago, the return showed that we bad elected 30 members of con gross while the Democrats bad only eiected 7. If any state in the Union can show a great dean np than this I would like to see it. The Building And Loan. We believe it is the duty of ev ery one, who can possibly do so, to save a part of bis earnings. For those who are on a weekly or monthly payroll, the Building and Loan offers exaeptional advantages. It is good from the standpoint of saving or investment, but its great est, benefit to both the individual and the community at large is In making it possible for persons of limited income to build a home and pay for it on the installment plan. The home owner is neces sarily worth more to the commun ity than be who is content to spend his days in a rented house, hence our frequent and hearty endorse ment of the Building and Loan As sociation.—Lenoir Topic. There is nothiog that Mocksville needs worse than a building aud ioan association. It would build up the town more than most any thing we know of. Tbe Record would be glad for the citizens of the town to get together' and or ganize an association. 'iet.To M i^ ic itre lx p io iiT H .

The basis of the representation of each county shall be the vote of our candidate fur governor in 1908. giving one delegate’ for each one hundred votes or fractional pan thereof. The objects of this Convenrion shall be to set in motion the great j»empaign of 1916. to-wit: The changing and bringing the Plan of Organization into confotmicy with thenew legalized Primary Law; the selection of a State Committee and its of ficials; the defining of /the issues to be presented to the voters in a Platform of Principles; the selection- of delegates to tbe National Convention in accordance with the duly adopted Plan of Organiza tion; a {dan to make more compact and efficient all committees, including State.

The Chainnan of each county is re quested to give due and proper notice for a County Convention to select delegates to tbe State and District Conventions, and to attend to otner matters in accordance with their custom and the Plan of Organ ization. Unusual times and unusual conditions call for unusual plans and means of bringing about universally desired results; to this end the method so long In vogue in many counties of making ail interested and patriotic voters duly accredited dele gates, is most highly recommended, In conclusion, let the invitation be ex tended to and accepted by all, who in tend to support the Republican ticket, to attend this Convention rally and lend their advice and aid in redeeming our Nation and State. FRANK A. LINNEY. Chairman. Wbn Flgares Coaat Seems to ns that some of the hot talk submitted by tariff people is pretty hard to answer. Looks, in deed, as though the tariff would. Jthia tim e be the-one greot slogan— and no way around it. The at tempt to get up the new issne is not working, and the old frizzled and frizzled tariff Jooms up bigger than ever, in a speech in Indiana the other night, Mayor William Hale Thompson of' Chicago, laid down a few running remarks worth while. W ecanuot quote mnch ol what he said, bu he said this: “The leaders of the Democratic party led the people to believe they would reduce the ccst of living. But have they? Mr. Redfield, sec retary of commerce, and labor, in a bulletin issued July . I, ot this year, shows that the cost of living has risen .steadily since the Demo cratic party came into power. “They said Rerubliran appro prialions were profligate waste ol tbepcople’8 money, yet tbe last Democratic Congress- appropriated $177,000,000 more than the last Republican congress. “The Wilson cabinet recom mended appropriations $81,000,000 in excess of what was appropriated but the most illuminating light on the business ability of that Demo cratic congress lies in tbe tact that when they were through making appropriations and stopped to loot up how much they had spent they fuuod that they had authorized ex penditures of $100,000,000 iu ex cess of the estimated revenues ot ibe government. “ Had the Republican tariff law been in operatiou during tbe fiscal year just past tbe national treasury would have been at least $100,000, 000 better off than it is today. That is the difference between Republi can thrift aud Democratic iuoom pelance in managing the affairs oi the nation.” And let us tell you that when figures are available to prove these things—figures which must be ad mitted as evidence, unless the de mocratic (Ktrty at onre gels busy and revises its pernicious Iarifflaws its name is Mud. The people who favor^a tariff for revenue,' at least, are widely in the msjonlv. The present tariff dees uot and cauuot furnish sufficient revenue. We all know this. Then why while it is In power! And it isnt going fir for a democrat to humbly ask for a tenft for reveaue.-4-Everytbiug. A Skort Sckool Term. Tbe Board of Edncaiion- a ttits meeting IastMonday fonnd that it bad motey enough to run the school; only three and one fialf mon’bs, and this amount was ap propriated to the schools. Section 4112 ol j-cbnol law requires that tbe county provide funds- for . a four months school, and nnlesstbis is done, none ot the equalizing fond will lie received from the Slate. As the law has not been complied with and the Boanl fears that none of this fund can be ob tained, but the-,Board has applied for the fund anyway, and if it is received it will be appropriated later. Il this is not received, tbe county will have only 31 months school this year. The Board re grets this but feels that it has done everything in its power to get a sufficient fund to run the schools four months, bnt have faiied. Tbe Board asked the County Commiss ioners for a tax sufficient to ruu schools fonr months. When the Commissioners refused, suit was brought in Snperior conrt. The judge hearing tbe case rendered a decision orderiog the Commission ers to levy the tax, but the Com missioners have refused to do it aud have appealed to tbn Supreme Court. This case cannot be ar gued before April, after the schools, have closed. If Davie county gets only three and one halt months this year, and this seems now to be all it will get-, the fault is with the County Commissioners of Da vie county and not the Board of Educatiuu.

Therewas much looting before tbe torch was applied to the busi ness buildings Hundreds of dollars worth of liquor was taken from a saloon. Jewelrv stores were robbed and burned. The rioting continued late tonight. Youngstown, Ohio, Jan. 7 —In an outbreak that began late today, when a mob of more than 6,000 men and women formed at the entrance to the steel mills in East Youngs town, hooted and jerred as the day shift left thefiplant. A private police force was- lined up and some one hit one of . them wite a rock. The police fired to scare the crowd. Immediately a rain of bullets began and 19 were wounded, four probably fatally.

He ex plained the proposals submitted to 'Sbuth and Central American diplo mats here last week by Secretary Lansingasabasis for an effective agreement between all the repub lics of the Western Hemisphere “not only for the international peace .of America, but the domestic peace of America.” This program, as outlined by the President, proposes that all the American Nations shall take concer ted action as follows: ■ Guarantee to each other absolute political independence and territor ial integrity. •;Agree to settle all pending boun dary disputes as soon as possible, by amicable processes. Agreetohandleall disputes aris ing among them by patient, impar tial investigation and to settle them by arbitration. Agree that no revolutionary expe dition shall be outfitted against or supplies for revolutionists shipped to neighboring States. Hesaidthe Monroe Doctrine al ways had been and always would be maintained by the United States on. its own authority, but that the doc trine did not disclose what attitude the United States would assume to wards other nations of the hemis phere, and consequently the other Nations had been distrustful of it.

It isn't simply a question of how much you can Uve on or how much you can lay by each year. There is the more important question of how much your famUy could Uve upon if you, the bread-winner, were suddenly taken away. They will get along aU right while you live. They would manage to subsist somehow, even if your income were cut in two.. Would they have as much as that if you were taken away?

BIG IMPETUS FOR ESTABROOK BOOM “Dark Horse” For Repnbliean Presidential Nomination. NATIONAL DEFENSE PIONEER Known as Fearless Advocate of Tra ditional Republican Principles—Also Recognized as One of Ablest Cam paigners In United States. Far and away the most interesting phase of the national political situa tion is the movement that has brougtit .'Henry D. Eptabrook1 of Xew York and • Nebraska, so prominently to the front .us a candidate for the'Begublican pres idential nomination. First spoken of ' as a possibility In connection with the : presidency less than six months ago. Mr. Estabrfiok is today one of the leading candidates, with evidences of 'strength that are a source of concern to the -friends of the other aspirants. He has made' speeches In every Im portant city' In the East, Middle West, and Far West, an arduous campaign experience that has put him in good condition tc ineet the rigorous demands made In the head of a party’s national ticket, and his friends In Nebraska and other States have formed Estabrook or ganizations and are going after national delegates In the most vigorous fashion. Impartial. observers agree that this development of the Estabrook boom has no parallel In the political hlstoiy HEHBT D. KTABBOOK. — " of the last 25 yean, and they are be ginning to inqnlre whether the popu lar demand for new leadership Is ac tually so strong as to give this new man the greatest political prize over which men struggle. An AU Aroimd Big Man. Estabrook is a big man physically, mentally and' politically. Quite six feet in height, erect, rugged, he would be a man of commanding presence In any gathering. Hla mental attainments are attested by his signal success In the practice of law and by the wide spread Interest In his every public ut terance on governmental, economic and social ^problems. He has always been a student and when he discuses a subject he speaks with the author ity of one who has mastered -It Hts conclusions aie Invariably sound, and,' once he has arrived at them, they ate proclaimed frankly and fearlessly, tor he Is essentially a man with the eonr- age of his convictions. For instance, he has been one of the most drastic critics of President Wil son and the present Democratic ad ministration, arraigning them for their tariff law which bankrupted the fed eral treasury and which places the American farmer, the American manu facturer, and the American laborer at the mercy of foreign.competition, and for a foreign policy which has destroy ed the respect that the American flag and American citizens once command ed In every quarter of the globe. - A PraparednMS Pioneer. Likewise Mr. Estabrook was the first man prominently before the public to outline a concrete program of national defense, which he presented In an ad dress before the American Bankers’ Association September Sth last at Seat tle, characterized by the Seattle Times as “one of the most remarkable ad dresses ever delivered In the North west,” and he was the first.Republican leader to point the way to . the reunion and harmonizing of all elements of the party, his ‘‘Get-Together'’ plea before the McKinley Clnb of Omaha, Nebras ka, last October, having attracted wide spread attention. - From the; time Mr. Estabrook open ed the Republican National campaign In Chicago In 1896 he has been recog nized as one of the ablest campaigners In the United States, and there have been few' sneakers In greater demand. : The issucf In the great contest of 1916, t which; Is to restore the Repiibllc- an party toe the administration of na tional affairs, will be Protection, Pros perity, and Preparedness, : In Mr. Bsta- brook’s' judginent, wlth “Get-Together’* ns the slogan for Republlcans of evetj shade of opiplon.

A FABLE FOR BUILDERS. Last summer a GOOD CITIZEN of a certain town, not over a hundred miles from almost EVERYWHERE built a WOODEN house for a WOMAN AND HER CHILDREN. HE bnilt the chimney of BRICK because HE HAD TO DO SO. The chlmney was able to STAND ALONE, so he did not have to PROP IT WITH WOOD. But the FLOORS of the house would not STAT UP without props. The GOOD CITI ZEN SAVED A DOLLAR by using the chimney as a SUPPORT for the floors. He nestled the ENDS OF THE FLOOR JOISTS nicely Into Jthe brick of the chimney. He' then COVERED UP THE JOB and GOT HIS MONET. The rains fell and the winds blew In the most Biblical manner and Winter came after its usual fashion. The chimney SETTLED a little and there was a tiny crack. One morning the WOMAN woke up with FIRE ALL ABOUT HER. She tried to GET TO HER CHILDREN. IF she got to them, NO ONE ETVER KNEW IT. The GOOD CITIZEN who built the house, WAS NOT ARREST ED FOR MANSLAUGHTER. He is BtlU bullding OTHER HOUSES of the SAME KIND for OTHER WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

Our feeling is that the most reli able, efficient and satisfactory means of exit from? a primary school build ing are stairways enclosed where pos sible. Stairways to be jused almost exclusively by small children should, of course, be adapted to their stature The Ohio State building code re quires that in primary schools the rise of steps shall-not exceed six inches, and he width of tread shall be not less than eleven inches. This propor tion would give an eaBy and safe foot ing for both ascent and descent. Winders in such stairways should be prohibited, and hand-rails should be provided on; each side. School build ings should provided iHth at least two such means of exit. In our judg ment the ordinary (Ire escape should not be permitted.—Ira H- Woodson. LAND AND LOAN ASSOCIA TIONS.

Oar friend Mr. W. D., Bentley State Demonstration Agent of Ok lahoma, urges every farmer to take an inventory here the first of the year and Iiud out whether he Si- comiDg or going financially. •■Banks.” be sajs, “charge farm ert higher rates of interest than they do merchants, becanne merch ants take stock regularly and know where they are financially. Farm ers ecldom do. Kesult:. H ighin terest lor farmers; low interest for merchants ” And Mr. Bently adds: ‘•The banker lends money to Uncle Sani at 3 per cent because h e thinks Uncle Siam Ib sure to ' pay. He charges farmers exhor- bitant rates because they do not do safe farming.” Xbe risk of lending to thriftless farmers, of course, has ~ been one reason for the high ratee charged on agricultural loans; bat it is also true tbat when real estate itself has been offered as collateral, rates hare been high; so that the Fresi dent oi the Nebraska Bankers’ As sociatiou said some time ago that the lank owning farmer has the best security of anybody and yet pays the highest interest of any body. There are several reasons for this: 1. U Btil now no provision has been made for recognizing the far mer’s cbiei collateral, the iand it self. Formerly Kational banks weie forbidden to lend on land at all, and such loans are now almost prohibited by the conditions im- ' posed, while state and private banks have also concerned them wives almost wholly with- loans made on conditions unsuited tojthe farmer’s needs. Tbe new land mortgage banks will probably rein edy this difficulty. A t the same time it is to be hoped that plans will be worked out for government supervised warehouses so that ware house receipts on farm crops—of ficially graded, inspected, and stor ed—vill become as good collateral as land itself, 2. Bankshave frequently been controlled by commercial interests interested in keeping farmers from getting credit rather than inter ested iu helping them get it. Con sequently Mr. Farmer has given a crop lien or chattel mortgage to Ur. Merchant and has been charg ed time prices eqaal to 25 to 75 per cent interest per annum; where upon M r. Merchant has taken the farmer’s identical crop lien or chat tel mortgage as security. and bor rowed on it himself at 6 or 8 per cent. 3. Moreover, in cases where banks have been just as willing to lend to farmers as auybody else, farmers have not used the banks as business men do, have not made the acquaintance of president and cashier by becoming patrons of the l>»nk. depositing in it all receipts and pajing all bills by check. Consequently, banks bave not known which farmers deserve cred it and which do not. An Absurdity.

Before adjourning, the committee adopted a declaration of principles, in which the administration of Wood row Wilson was criticised for alleged failure to deal adequately with the national honor and industrial wel fare, and the Progresaive party went on record as favoring a complete preparedness program, consisting of militdry armament as well as mobili zation of all the country’s resources, with a view of unification of Ameri can citizenship. Dates Are For Death Penalties. Raleigh. Jan. 11.—Governor Craig today named the dates for three electrocutions, one on February 11 and the other two on February 25. The first is Jim Cooper, Rowan county and the two on the same date are Ernest Lowry and George Posten. Jim Cooper murdered Lucinda Price, at Salisbury on March 28. last. At the time he murdered the Salis bury woman, he had a family’ living in Charlotte. Ernest Lowry and George Posten will pay the death pienalty for the murder of Grant Davis in Gaston county. This murder was on Bfarch 7,1915, and was for robbery. Davis had sold several bales of cotton at Kings Mountain and was returning home with $300 on his person when he was waylaid. The two men fled to South Carolina where they were captured and confessed the crime. Oor Weekly Epitaph.

Thie about the truth of the matter: a man’s ow ir disposition may be measured by hie treatment of bis fellows. Ton may pnt it down, as a rule that the Bevere and bitter critic is himself guilty of tbe things with whieh he iebarges oihen. It takes a thief to catch ath ief, and a merciless critic proves by his spirit that be is no saint. Did yon ever know a man who has Iaet faith in humanity, who enjoyed the confidence and esteem of hu neighbors! It iB better to be a credulous fool than a. sour pessi mist. T h iaisafin ec time, if we find ourselves becoming intolerant and censorous, to face about and change our attitude. The average man is not what the suspicions misanthrope thinks he is. Hemay be foolish sometimes, bat he is not mean. Give him the benefit of the doubt. Find something in him' to; admire, for it is th e n if yoa will only bant for it. The efieqts riieTgiiborB are happy,- and the), help the critic more than they do the criticized. Ill judgment, un founded, unjust and nntrne, n a k a ua morose and unlovely. It dark ens our livej more than anything else we can do. To cherish evil toon&hts about our associates in the church or in tiie community makes us sour and mean. On the oi her band, the cultivation of tol erant aud charitable and brotbeiiy thoughts about thote who touch our lives, gives as cheerful and happy hearts ourselves, and makes our lives tar better worth living. Remember, with what judgment we judge we shall he judged and with w bat: measuie we mete Jit 9bail he measore*! to ns again. Do you happen, to know'of any cu e in poinit Have y«u ever seen a man grumble bimself ont of a job! In fact didi you ever know a -sharp and bitter critic to succeed? Men will not repose confidence in him They may endnre him, but when they have it in their power to shove him upward, they will silently and sorrowfully let him alone. Bail Celd QucUy Broken Up.

Christy, convicted* at the August term of Forsyth supet- ior court of the murder of G. J. Warren in Winston-Salem. At tba trial in August Judge Cline who presided, sentenced the defend ants to death in the electric chair. Chief Justice Clark, writing the opinion for the court, says of Mrs. Warren’s part in the murder: “ Mrs. Warren seems to have been the moving spirit in the murder, the veritable Lady Macbeth of the trag edy. Upon the record, the husband was put to death by his wife and her paramour by preconcerted, prede termined murder, cold blooded and relentless, without any mitigating or extenuating circumstances. We out help. In tbe Oklahoma school in which tbe 64-year old farmer learned his fractions, a writer de scribing the opening i ight says: tlThe pupils came and the kero sene lamps illuminated a stiange scene. Some came atoot, some on horseback, and some in wagons, bringing tbe wire and babies. There were three pallets on the teacher’s rostrum that night, and there slept babies while the parentB worked. They, sat in the seats where their children and even grandchildren ......... pat in the chart class, others could start in tbe primer, and some who could read tolerably, plunged into the mysteries of arithinatic.” Only this morning as we write this a report comes to ns of a moonlight school” (or perhaps it would be more accurate to call them “ night schools”) not many miles from our office in which twenty four men and women were enrolled, the papils not only learn ing to read and write, but getting a pretty good start in arithmetic.

The crime of which they were convicted at that time and sentenced to die in the electric chair was committed on or about August 18,1914, according to the allegation of the State in the prosecution, and the charge was that S. P. Christy and Ida Ball War ren, assisted by Clifford Stonestree*. did kill and murder G.

The Record would suggest that a supper or bazaar be held to raise the funds to finish fitting up the rest room. The Record will be one of twenty-five to contribute five dollars annually to keep the building open to tve public. We believe there are at least twenty-five public-spirited men in this community. Let a com mittee be appointed by the ladies of the Community Service to solicit $5 yearly subscriptions from the citi zens of the towu and county We cannot afford to keep this building locked all the time.

THE HIBDEH EIRE BUG D«f«ctlv* Electric Wiring Ie Dlzaz- trouts—Be 8 ure Your Wire Ie Good - And Well Installed. Hidden between the walls of your house, iuder the' floors, In the attic and down In the cellar, run rubber- covered. wires bearing the electric cur rent. ; The rubber Insulation is put around the wire to keep the current where it belongs and prevent short circuiting, leakage of current, and fire. And to make doubly sure, the wires are held away from the woodwork by porcelain knobs, =Cleats, and tubes; or are car ried In continuous metal conduits or sheathings. It your wire is good wire, well in sulated and properly put In, your house and Its contents are absolutely safe from electric current fires. But if you have poor wire, poorly in stalled, you have a fire-bug In your home—working behind your back, ready to start a fire without warning day or night. There are two important things that you should' know about your wiring: .,First: Is the wire itself safe? - . Second: jls it put in right? Good wire, properly installed, Is ab solutely safe. Good wire, poorly installed, may be safe or otherwise—all a matter of chance. ; ' , Poor wire is unsafe to begin with, and, if improperly put in, Is a real menace. BONFIRES. The season of . the year has arrived when parents should warn the chil dren of the danger of bonfires. Every precaution should be taken to pre vent children from being burned to death- while playing around burning leaves. During the past few months twelve small children lost their, lives In Michigan and many others were seriously burned when their clothing caught fire from bonfires. The list of totalities Is always greater In the fall of the.year when.bonfires of burning leaves near every home cause chil dren to congregate. Your child may be the next little victim to be brought home a burned and blackened corpse Ofhurried to the hospital bunted and disfigured for life. Don’t let this, hap pen, keep matches out of the reach - Of children and if you can not prevent them playing around bonfires look after the burning of leaves yourself and - watch the cnildren closely. SAFETY FIRST and ALWAYS.— Michigan Bulletin. HORIZONTAL EXITS. The most efficient means of escape from any -floor or any building is through the “horizontal exit" escape. In other words, the division o£ each floor of a building by an incombusti ble wall with metal doors so as to pro vide at least two separate areas on each story eut off from each other by such an incombustible wall. Such a wall would have to be of a construc tion Ukeli- to retard the spread of flames for'a. reasonable^ time. Such a wall affords an area of refuge at each story. It implies the provision of staircases giving direct exit from each of such areas. It; seems to me that even an old school building could be provided with a division wall built up through the center so long as it leaves a staircase approachable from either side of the wall.—Robert D. Kohn, SENDING IN AN ALARBL Locate the nearest fire alarm box to your hoine. If it opens with a key, find out who keeps the key. The ordinary box has no key; you simply turn the handle to the right, open the door, and pull hook down all the'way and let go. Wait until the firemen arrive and direct them to the fire. ; ' . If you don’t know where the nearest alarm box Is located, use the ’phone and ask Central for Flre Headquar ters, and .tell the Fire ’ Department operator exact address of building Where the fire Is. GOOD BOOK. ij -■ Prominent educators who reviewed the manuscript say that "Sure Pop and the Safety Scouts” is admirably adapted for school use, as well as for home reading. It Is suitable for sup plementary. TSadlng from the' fourth grade upward, but its value for this purpose by no means lies mainly in Its teiachlnfi of Safety principles. Boys and girls are also taught to see a pur pose In the proper control of their actions and conduct, and a higher mo tive than mere obedience to formal rules of the school is thus supplied.

They Have Their Own Troubles Elbert Hubbard said many good things about life insurance, but the fol lowing is as comprehensive as any: “Life Insurance avoids the uncertain ty of leaving things to the neighbors. It is a business plan founded on the laws of mathematics to provide for those dependent upon us in case of death. IAfe insurance is no charity. Life insurance is a duty, and It is a privilege. Lord Nelsonn in his will left his wife and daughter t‘o tht- tender care of the British Nation, to whom I have given -my life.’ And the wife and daughter gravitated to the poorhouse. Don’t leave' your loved ones to the care of the public or the neighbors. The neighbors may have troubles of their own. CHILD BURNED. The following is a sad statement clipped from a state paper a few days ago: " . "After 24 hours of Intense suffering from, severe burns, Theodore Roose velt West, the 3-yfear-old son of ...... died at the' home of his parents. The child was left in the house alone with two other children while the mother went out to;look after her cow. "The child caught fire from an open fireplace. A- Jar In which kerosene had been kept was found near the fire and one of the other children says his brother ,threw some of the oil Into- the fire." Tbe trouble Is that cases such as this are too frequent How long will North Carolina parents stand for it? MATCHES. The match is designed to start fires. It does. !I'-..- A single W tch may cause the burning of a-city. Most fires are of the same size when they start. , • A thoughtful husband or father will have no.matches In his home except those which light only on the box. Such matches, If accidentlly dropped or secured by young children, cannot be Ignited ’ on any ordlnaiy surface.

Before attempting any hasty or IB- advised decoration which may cause fire, examine your Insurance contracts and see if the policies contain. any-, tiling like this: , “This entire policy, unless otherwise provided by agreement endorsed here^ on or added hereto, shall be Yoid," etc., "if the hazard be increased by any meaps within the control or knowledge of the insured." If you burn, you want your. Indemni ty:. do nothing, therefore, to Impair your contract USE AUTOMATIC _ SPRINKLER8 A rapidly spreading fire costs many lives. No fire can spread rapidly or at all under sprinklers. That the au tomatic sprinkler has become known and approved by school authorities Is shown by. the example of the city of Buffalo, where the public school build ings I to 62, inclusive, the Central and Lafayette high schools, have the basements protected by automatic sprinklers.—Safety Engineering. CLEAN UP. Rubbish heaps are fire breeders. Fires start in. them and are .fed ,by them. A clean city-will have few fires. Attics and cellars should be kept free from combustible accumulations. .Ashes should not ba carelessly dis posed against wooden fences or oth er combustible surfaces. Trash or autumn leaves should not be burned too near buildings.' . ‘It is tn e, tor the paat eight or .ten years, we have seen more -.waste and extravagance' In the Dhlted States Sban any one ever saw before. As a Nation we have simply run rampant In waste and - unnecessary . ,expendi ture of money.

I tried .different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. Igotso bad, I could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would, die. He advised me to try Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit taking other medicines. I decided to take his advice, although I did not have anyconfidence in it I have now been taking BIack-DraughI for three months, and it has cured me— haven’t had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. I am so thankful for what Black* Draught has done for me.” Thedford’s Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de rangements of the' stomach and liver. It is composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts genfly, yet surely. It can be iree y used by young and old, and- should bfi kept in every family chest Get a package today.

' The Catawba Bural Credit Asso ciation, it properly appreciated aud developed, would result iu aiding many a worthy mao to acquire a home or pay off a debt. The association is in splendid health, but more farmers ought to he ioteresten in it. It is a form of co-operatiou that is positively safe. Hot Skob from tke Ratcol Wkipper. We have had men in Congress in the long ago whom privation drove to eat their own britches, and if the present crowd of Pree Trade spend thrifts had to stay there long and enact business wrecking laws some of the working people would soon have to eat their pants. Just as we expected. Woodrow suggests a tax on bank checks. That’s the stuph. Make bumness just as confounded troublesome as possible in order to raise the dough to help run his ramshackled and discredited Free Trade administration.'We hope he will pile on the taxes so thick and heavy that for one time in their life Democrats will get their bellv full of Wilsonism. We heard a Democrat say the other day-that these are the best times he ever knew. Weheard anotherDeni, declare that he had lost ten thousand dollars as a result of Free Trade and we heard another of the faithful as sert that if his party pulled off much more of its dern foolishness he would vote the G. 0. P- ticket in Nov. And that is about the way it averages up. Now Wilson wants every man who. owns an automobile to pay fifty cents per horsepower tax to help make good the losses of his darling Free Trade farce. Think of a man with his 60 horse power auto on an up grade, his carburetor backfiring and his spark plugs missing being held up by a federal tax collector and asked to cough up thirty plunks to splice the discredited character of the Wilson Free Trade Tariff. Ye gods, it’s enough to drive ah Ameri can citizen to anarchy. In his message to Congress, Wil son says: “I have had in my mind no thought of any immediate or par ticular danger arising out of our ret. lations with other nations.” Now Jf. tfe ii^ :riw tfie h ^ 'a s ir^ a F in tim name of common sense he means by completely reversing himself during the past year on preparedness?

'Knowing the shortage in revenue I believe .it advisable just now to levy a tax of a t least a half a cent on each bottle manufactured’ and like amount on their syrups This will bring into the United Stales Treasury millions of dollars annually. The business of the na tion is taxed, notes, bills of-lading, phone message and numerous oth er things pay to the Government their proportion of tax, vet I uu derstand it i9 insufficient and. a move to increase the ■ reveoue is looked for."

' The same week a man fold tm this story about an eastern Nortik Carolina potato marketing associa tion. The farmers tbere han been trying to market potatoes but had never bCen a Ie to make money.

Hle Davie county school teachers are to teach two weeks free provid ed the Supreme Court decides in fa- vorof the County Commissioners, and also provided again that the Board of Education can’t manage in some manner to get the cash to pay them. The Record was under the impression, from what some of the teachers said, that the said teachers were to teach 'two weeks without hope of compensation. But since reading the petition which appears in today’s paper, we have been very, much enlightened. TheRecord maybe a bureau of information; as many seem to think, but it is no mind reader and cannot forecast coining events before even a shadow is.cast. These remarks are preparatory to saying that, we don’t know who the Republicans are go ing to nominate for President, but if nothing goes wrong we w ill've able to inform our Democratic friends about June 8th who our next President will be. Uaking a close guess we would" say- now that we don’t think the next President’s name will start with a W or. an R. . Governor Craig has a. job that moat of us wouldn’t w ant The fate of Ida Bafl Warifen and Sun P.; Christy is in his hands; Uuch prea gue will be brought to bear on him to commute their sentences to life imprisonment, while hundreds, yea thousands, will insist that the deatti penalty be earned out. The Gover nor will b*criticised, it makes no difference whether the murderers be sent to the penitentiary for life er electrocuted. He dioulddo what he believes to‘be right, regardless of public sentiment, and we believe he will do this. x The editor of the WinstonJournaI says that when W. C. Hammer, gets done with Uarion Butler, that But ler’s bdst friends won’t know him. Edjtor Martin, we take it, is not acquainted with Biitler. Even Rob ert Broadnax Glenn couldn’t stand up with "Butler on the stump, and Purnifold Mv Simmons wouldn’t dare to meet him six years ago. This is another case where ignorance is bliss—even like unto the passenger train that the Journal Bowied about stopping at Uooresville. when it was ft through train to Charlotte. But the scribe from Yadkin will grow wiser as he grows older. Tbe SckooI Teachers’ Petition. DaWe Comity, N. C., Jan. I I ,1916.

Ida Ball Warren and Samuel Put man Christy will go to the electric chair in Raleigh on Uarch 3, if Gov ernor Craig’s order is not changed Christy’s attorney is making an ef fort to carry his case to the United States Supreme Gourt. In our opin ion Christy is the less guilty - of the two. No sympathy .is expressed for Ida Ball Warren and she will doubt less suffer this penalty she deserves. •Five Negnet Are: Huvet Albany, Ga.', Jan. 21.—Forty or fif ty men, acting with the precision of carefully laid planB, took five negroes from the Worai county jail at Syl vester last night, earned them to Lee county fand hanged them all to one limb o‘f a tree.

The editor spent fialf a day in the hustling little village of Woodleaf last Wednesday, and. found things moving along nicely. The four .or five stores and the two flour mills seem ta be prospering. The mill of Rice & Katledge find it hard to keep up with their fast growing business. Mr. Ratledge tells us that one store in Cooleemee had used nearly one hundred barrels of their flour since the first of the month. They make a mighty good flour. Owens &,Son, who also operate a flour mill, tell us that they run practically all the time and have no trouble disposing of their stock. They were paving the farmers $150 , per bushel for wheat. John H. Rice, the genial merchant “on the square,” is doing business at the same old stand. W. B. Harrison, who moved bis stock of goods to KannaDoiis some time ago, has moved, back to his old stand in the postoffice budding. - Lazenby & Son are a(.ill selling goods. T. G. Kenerly, who runs a general store near the depot, is doing a good bus iness. Ur. Eenerly tells us there is a fine opening for a good blacksmith near his store. There is a good shop with a dwelling house on the same lot, which can be rented cheap, and Mr. Kenerly says he will furnish the shoes, nails, etc., at wholesale to a good man, and guarantee him all the work he can do. Woodleaf has two churches and an excellent high school. The people are clever and accomodating. A Mr. and> Mrs. Wilson, of Rock ford, have taken the baby recently found on Mr. Lippard’s porch, and will adopt it. H. P. Cranford, one of the WoOdleaf merchants, is talk ing of moving to Cleveland and open ing up a garage. A fine top-soil road is ^>eing built from Salisbury to Wood leaf. The road will then go to the Iredell line, near Mt. Vernon, and a road will also be built from Woodleaf to the Davie county, line at Wrencher’s Ford bridge on the South Yadkin. The road force is now working at Second creek, about two miles east of Woodleaf. These good roads will be a blessing to the people of that section. Morderers Are Executed. El Paso, Texas. Jan. 23,—Bernardo and Fedrico Duran, the Mexiean cattle thieves condemned to die by the Caranza author ities for the killing of Bert Akers, at San Lorenzo, a few miles below the internat ional boundary, Friday, were executed at daylight in the cemetery a t Juarez today. The Duran brothers died cursing Americans. Bernardo appealed for mercy on behalf of hfs brother.'Fedrico. Wilson to Take Tbe Stump. Washington, Jan. 20.—Presiilent Wilson plans to speak in Pittsburg, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, Kan sas City, St. Joseph, Des Moines and Davenportonthefirst trip he will take to lay his National defense pro gram before the country. He ex pects to leave Washington' January 28th and remain away one week. He has been invited to speak in Char lotte at. an early date. New Law Regarding Tax Paying. The North Carolina law, passed in 1881,.gave the taxpayers of Davie county until March 15 to settle their taxes for the previous year, but this law was repealed in 1915, and the Sheriff now has the right to levy on property after Nov. 1st The Sher iff is now required to make final set tlement with the State on the second Monday in January instead of the first Monday in May. There is a penalty of 2 per cent, on the Sheriff, placed thereon by the State, on all taxes which are not paid by January 15th. Thismeansthatif you have not yet paid your 1915 taxes, the Sheriff must suffer as a result of your negligence. You owe it to yourself, your county and State and your Sheriff, to make immediate set tlement. The Sheriff is not required to make another round. adv. Prices Going Up. . Get Supplies Now.

I Now the need of a compass In the equipment of a Ship Ia no greater than the need of a compasp In a bual- aesa, which la the taking of a careful inventory at regular periods. The In ventory Is the compass of a business, because the information which it gives enables the merchant to steer his course toward eucoess, the destination he ta seeking. We- occasionally find a merchant who has apparently done well, sailing his craft .upon, dead reckoning alone; but for every success among suoh merchants there have been failures upon failures. Te many merchants the taking of an Inventory seems a Mg Job. They neg lect it, excusing themselves day after day with the argument that they can not spare the time, or do not want to employ extra help which' the taking of the inventory requires. -They forget that the Inventory Is the drat essen tial In ascertaining whether the busi ness is heading toward success or failure; and this is true whether the business be large or small. It is Inexcusable on any grounds for a merchant or manufacturer to wait until what he has is lees thaar what he owes, to discover that bad management or miscalculation has brought him face to tace with failure! T|trough the Inventory there will ,bd revealed to him whether or not the gross profits of Ms business are larger than cost and operating expense com bined, o r his investment is suffering a shrinkage and the business is headed toward failure.—Hartford Agent “ SAFETY FIRST” FOR ! LIFE AMD PROPERTY. . Fire Marshal Hart of Wisconsin says “Fire prevention Is a live subject most practical and it admits of enough ecientlflc study to delimit the most ;eamest student. Its economic side has to do directly with the conserva tion and preservation of our natural resources. It furnishes a wide field for research. It deals with common everyday matters, and should inter est those In ail walks of life. The people must listen and understand 'before they will act In matters of lire prevention. The study of the subject In the schools Should be lneouragad aud ought to be the means of accom plishing, definite results In a.very, few years. - “And when It is considered that hun dreds of human lives are destroyed eveiy-year In this State as a natural result of .the fire waste and . property loss. lt is dlfftcnlt to see how the Im portance of fire prevention can be ov- er-emphaslsed or exaggerated.'’ TBE SAFETY SCOUT'S PLATFORM.

Little More Than the Ordinary - Inflammable Kind. Fireproof construction of buildings as a whole has been so reduced In cost In recent times that the differ ence between the prices of such a building, and that of the ordinary In flammable kind is far from being so serious as it formerly was. But with out going to that expense, the risk of fire can be reduced In an almost insignificant traction of what it now Is. The great thing to be aimed at Is the-isolation of the fire, the prevent ion of Hs spread from the point at which it originates. This can be ac complished as regards, the cellar fur: nace and It's neighborhood, by fire proof floor construction separating the cellar from the first story. A concrete or steel and tile floor can be easily put In at an Increase of cost , over ordinary wooden Joist construction, that would hardly be noticeable in the total cost of a large building. ^In addition to'this, and especially In places where :the services of a fire department* cannot be promptly ob tained the installation of some simple system automatic sprinklers or fire extinguishers In basement near the heating apparatus and also In kitchens and laundarles,' commends itself as an obvious safeguard and offers no great difficulty In the 'way of expense. The construction of a fire - proof division wall .as a means .of prevent- AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS. . The systematic records of the Na tional Fire Protection Association prove conclusively the efficiency of sprinkler systems. Since 1897, 14,363 fires In sprlnglered risks have been reported. Of these 30 per cent were put out by one sprinkler; 46.0 per cent were put out by.not more than two sprinklers; 73 per cent were put out by not more than six sprinklers; 84.3 per cent were put out by not more than twelve sprinklers; 4.8 per cent,' that is about one In every twen ty, were not handled satisfactorily by- sprinklers and the principal reasons were these: water shut .off, .obsolete or corroded - sprinklers, parts of the risk not equipped, poor water supply, conflagration exposure, obstruction to distribution of water, and poor or hollow construction.

Practically every fire originating In a. dwelling house-Is due to careless ness or neglect. : The attic, cellar, and all Clothes closets should'be cleaned at least once a year and-all useless material and rubbish removed and burned.- In rstorlng clothing, remove all; matches and other material from the pockets. Do not hang Clothes near hot chimneys. Do not go Into clothes closets with lighted matches or candles. - Dse only safety matches and-keep them away from the children, Never throw burned matches on the floor or Into waste baskets- - CoaIoll lamps should alwayir be fllled by daylight They should: he kept dean and properly trimmed. A dirty lamp is . unsafe. ’ / Especial care should be taken In the home to prevent fires from .start ing, because when they do start there is seldom a man about to. extinguish-- them. Where women and children are housed, the utmost vigilance is neces sary on the part of those..responsi ble for their welfare. A fuse is the "safety valve", of any electric system, and should never be. replaced by one of larger sice or of any other material. Do not allow paper or rubbish to ac cumulate behind steam colls or radi ators.. Be careful of ashes. Do.not deposit them against wooden buildings or fences. See that there are no live coals. Far better to pour a pail ol wator over them than to take theing the spread of fire is recommend-j risk or a strong wind carrying live ed by some men who have specialized coals and starting fires.In fire prevention work.

At times, I would have severe pains in my leftside. The doctor was called in, and Ms treat ment relieved me for a while, but I -was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bou’e of Caidui, the woman’s tonic, and ! com- menced taking it From the very first dose, I could tell it v;as helping me. ; can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing all my work.” If you are all run down from womanly !roubles, don’t give up in despair. Try Caidui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped more than a million women, in its 50 years of continuous success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui for years.
