NOVEMBER I, 1916 NUMBER V6 I * - Speech of Hon. F. A. Linney rS 1.1! most serious problem in Xortii Carolina is tbe public school ejsam . O urconstitntion provides Im a general and uniform &ys- Icki of public 6eU ools,— Tbe Detuocratic party has been in con Uoi of the State Government al jar.;', continuously einee the recon etrnclion. Our children are en dowed with native intellect equal to any. StroDg bodies and strong iuimis. capable of receiving instru- ct,o’i, Io Xorth Carolina this year ji out of every 100 native borh Iiiic voters cannot read the ballot Iu- votes. The average fo% the Vuiled Statesis 3. 5 percent. In wassachnsetts it-is 7 percent; in «.’:)nnetticutt H is 9 percent; In KNde Isiaud it is I. 5 percent, but iu North Carolina it reaches the bigIiwaier mark of 15 percent. (Mpcrceul) counting each illit; eraie white woman twenty one olJ ami older, we have 'more illi terate white adults now than we had sixty live years ago. The pres eut administration is spending icote than three times as much money lor schools now than,in 18 <i$, yet we are 14 percent in the dark. Theremust then-be some detents about our school system. AVhat are thiyi Throughout all Xorth Carolina the demand is for au equal opportunity. Our con stitutiou provides that out public school shall l>e general and uniform yet umler tbe present system in 1913 the children of Aahe couuty received (!I days of public Bchool. Alexaudev county received 80 days Aieghany county 78 7 days; Ca tawba received 83; Cleveland 98; while the children in the rural dis tricts of New Hanover county re ceived 160 daye- - a ud - i u.Darijaur -®0?£flj.the„.i^«ner-^. of professional knowledge- and ex pert sk ill.: In all these schools there are good collections of books of general literature and of books supplementary to the regular text books, or there is easy access to eity„public libraries. In all these towns there are public schools and in most such differentiation and flexibility of courses as is demand ed by modern life and conditions home making courses, manual train ing, industrial and commercial courses. For the seven eights living in the country the opportunities for education are 4uuc.lt less favorable. This all means that Kortb Caro lina is not doiug for the 700,000 of her. childrgB-who live in the coun try anything like as well as she doing for the 100,000 who live in cities and towns The iujustice of this discrimination is apparent when it is'remembered that all alike are children of the common^ wealth. The. unwisdom of the policy is apparent, the wealth and power and the civic and political welfare of the State \ will be determined; not by the one eighth who live in the cities but chiefly by the seven- eights wh<Tlive in the country with its poorer opyortuaitieR.” ' While our constitution, intends' to provide a school for the child from six to twenty-one years of age, under our present system they reach the eighth grade at fourteen and then they must stop. The father must.leave his farm and go to the city. The farm must grow up in weeds while he hunts a school for his child. The call of the child is stronger than the call of the farm* It is,' easier' to raise the coarse of instruction than to county 161 days. I am speaking olthegeueial fund and not the local tax district. To remedy these conditions we should make the general fund a common fund, one of which each white child in the State should receive an equal pro portion. In tbe distribution to the colored children the. difference in the cost of teachers should beob served and the amount given to them reduced proportionately. Un der the present system the rural white child in 1913 received 102 4 days of school, while in the city negro children were- given 167 days of Echool. In some of the larger counties the negro children in the rural district received 159 days of school. Now the county is the unit. The child should be the unit. If you give one white child 100 days with a poorly paid teacher and another white child 100 days with a well paid tocher there is uo equality. Our consti tutiou recognizes the right of local taxation for many purposes and many purposes and this I Wouitff not disturb as to pubUc schools.- ! Wheuour young men and wom en receive free tuition at the State Is'ormal and University ncder con tract to (each in the public schools they immediately go to the.sCity/ Very few find the itiral schools. Should we not require an equal number to go to the rural schools; that they mav have the beuefit of this learniug the State has paid for. Is Ashe‘county-not as much: entitled to the services of the Uni- versiiy student. as. the child of WilmiugtonT There ia also a vast difference in our schools of the city aud those of the country disr tricts. Mr. Claxton says.of this- inequallty: ... -= . - •‘One eighth of the children of North OaroliDa live iincitieband towns; seven eighths pif them live in small villages' and the open country. For theone-elght that'live in cities and town* there ate' good, schools of from 160 to. 190 days each year - conducted in modern school buildings with more or less edequate equipmeut, , taught by teachcrs prepared,, for their- work There is no voter in North Caro lina who is not capable of exercis ing that'kindly power his govern ment gives him. Each individual is a king and there is no official he is not capable of electing. He re joices that he caiir cd^ct his Presi dent, his Congressman and his Sen ator. Is he not capable 6f ejecting those men who preside over tbe Iite and destiny of his child? He elects, a Treasurer who handles bis money.' Is his child not dearer than hiB purse? I believe the people demand this right. The voter is supreme when necessity calls. The Board of education should be and shall be elected by the people of Morth Carolina. ' r I would not have the public schools in politics. It is not iuy purpose to put them in. It is my determined purpose that they shall be taken out of politics, i appeal to every voter to restore to him self the right of self-government. Your child is dearer than your puise and I demand for'each white child in North.' Caraliua an equal opportunity. I believe that every whit? c,hild in tbe State is entitled to an equal opportunity" to get an education. I care not where he lives. He may live iu a hut, where .poverty abounds. Penury may teach -him economy, Waut may; Btimnlate him to. industry'. Rural life may teach him- to love natui^ and nature's . pod, but education alone will unfold to him the world of which hedreams.

We all know how. they have ^shuffled Surry and Rilkes from • one Congressional District to another fo defeat the Will -Of the people and prevent them sending Eepublicans ^o Oou- gress as the ever increasing Repub lican vote showed the people in tended to do.

Theevident intention of the Con stitution,, which the^e legislators were sworn to carry oat was to give every vdtir an equal iulluence- in the State, yet*one ■ Democrat in Edgecombe has more power than fonr Republicans in Davie,. Wilkes and Yadkin. There is one other thing I wish to caution the voters about and that is the ba!lot\ From the very best information I can get the form of the ballot has been designed 60 that the least failure to comply in every way with "the requirements as interpreted 'by a Democratic board can be taken advantage Qf and the ballots declared illegal and be thrown out. Thia danger arises chiefly in -trying to scratch one name and vote another^ Of course every rnau has a right' to vote for any one he pleases, but my advice is to avoid this danger'by voting the straight ticket, just, put your mark, as required by lawfin the ring that vgtes the whole, ticket An Increasing Deficit.

JACOB STEWART Chairman CountvBoard of Elections JOSEPH PEEBLES, Secretary. Ifyou want men in office in Davie county who are* .opposed to good roads and schools it would be well to vote the Democratic .ticket. When a Democrat comes and asks yofl to votefbr a Democratic'sheriff, ask him if he is going to vote for the Republicansheriff.'' Your Democratic friends will go to the polls next Tuesday and vo$e, and every Republican in Davie should go out early and see that all his friends go. AU kinds of false reports are start ed just previous to the election. If you believe in good government, a straight Republican ticket is what you want to vote. We noticed in a Democratic paper last week that cotton was higher than it had been since the war ..This Isa mistake. In 1909 cotton wa& sell ing at 19,75 in New York. K our Democratic friends want the books audited they av£ invited to get busy add have the work dbne. but not at the expense' of the poor taxpayer. Lpt the money come out «jf the pockets of the howlers. Eorayth abolishes the office'*of county treasurer and hired a county ^auditor. Why should Davie dispense with an office that pays $900'per , year and hire an auditor totake his place at $2,000 per year. The Record has Baid many times th$t a whiskey man could not bes el ected sheriff of Davie county; and still say the same thing. So far as *?e know, no whiskey mania run- n|ng for sheriff in Davie county.' ' Eyery Repv^blican in Davie county ia urtred to go to the polls , on next Tuiffldav, Nov. 7th, and stay from sunup until dark. See that your friends vote the straight ticket from "President down ,to township constable. Our Democratic friends have made but little effort to elect but' one man on their cpunty ticket Uiis fall. It is the duty of every Repub lican to see that no man on the Dem. ticket is elected. Wiiiecoff should receive at least 300 majority. - .< And the voiceof the sweet toned silver-tongued boy orator of'Davie says thatoursheriff draws a salary of nearly five thousand a year.

Thanks to—or in spite of—the innumberable attempts to frame a complete and exact definition of the: word “gentleman,” everybody haB a working understanding of the term. It ie known to comprise as essential^ consideration aud ex ample, therefore'leadership. A H igh' Point mac 'came to Greensboro and told t>f experi ments he had made, and you read about in yesterday’s paper. He drove over the highway, and for every car he met, be dimmed his lights. More than half the cars he met responded by dimming their lights in turn. On another night he traversed the road, pass ing all cars without nsing the dim mers. Between the two cities, that night, not a car that he met dim mer its lights. A number of experiments would probably confirm what these two indicate— that what is needed oh the road is an. occasional gentle man, who is working at it. It would likely be farther proved that the-best protection one can have on tbe highway against the blinding .glare of headlights is to be a gentleman—or a lady. If a lot of gentlemen who use the road at night j would practice being gentlemen - while driving their cars, half the people met, or more, would respond-in action which would say, *‘Wejl, if you go at that, I am a gentleman my self—or a lady, as the case. may be.” Kobllity of birth requires nobility of conduct; and he who pretends to gentility must accept its responsibilities of conduct. At l^|th alf;th e- people, feud more it is suspected, ai;e willing to con duct themselves gently, if remind, ed of it.

This is indicated by the fact that ‘T he General” makes H of all'the asphalt roll roofing made in America. The ‘balance is '‘scattered*’ among 39 other manufacturers. Each year CERTAIN-TEED rolls up a strikingly in creasing number of advocates,because this type of roof is comini for: is clean and sanitary, costs less to buy, less to lay, less to maintain and less per. year of life. It is-guaranteed for 5,10 or 15 years, according to ply (I, 2 or 3). It actually lasts longer. '~ The secret of this long life lies in the^ quality of the roofing fe’t, andiffce' asphalt saturation.

The Fhilathea class of the Baptist Sunday school delightfully enter tained the BaracasTuesday night at a Halloween social. The guests as they arrived were ushered into the large room decora ted with autumn boughs and Jack O-Ianterns by the vivid folk of ghostiand. At one side was the same old well at which Rebecca stood, Lo, it was flowing with dear, cool water. A tthe opposite end was a table loaded with pumpkin pies, which reminded the “boys” of the ones “grandma” used to bake. A most ddigntful feature of the evening was the fortunes told by the two little Gypsies in their Jtent at one side of the room. The merri ment they caused filled the room, and their prophecies will not soon be forgotten by some. The guests were also carried to the court of Ghost. Hall, where they were judged and sentenced for all the grave crimes committed against their fellowmen. Such a spooky jjudge and jury could pass nothing but spookyrsentences.. After the fortunes were told and the accused, sentenced to their “doom”, coffee'and cake was served and all gathered in a circle to hear the stories that ghosts can always tell. It doesn’t always pay to put too much faith in church pillars—some times they fill from their founda- I tions and lie as bad as the ordinary sinner. “ What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul.” Wliat You Pay Doesn’t Make Values Ifs What you Get You can buy a diamond ring for $15.00.

IiOng Branch, N. J-—In the face of returns up to 12 o’clock indicating the election of Charles E. Hughes, Presi dent Wilson tuid his official family here insisted that news from Western’ States would be awaited/ before any. concessions were made. The presi dent, surrounded by members of his immediate family, received the returns In his study at Shadow Lawn. As conntinned discouraging news came to the executive offices disap pointment was generally expressed but the president himself remained cheer- fnL Out In the seclusion of Ehadow Lawn, the president was amid quiet, but the executive offices at Asbury Park ,were surrounded by an excited crowd. As late reports came to the execn- tire offices by telephone and telegraph and from local Democratic leaders in various states, the hopes of the presi dent and those about him began to rise. Stronger claims were made that on the final count Mr. Wiison wodld ■win. Apparently the president was the most cheerful person here. Those who talked with him said he showed no impatience. He began receiving re turns shortly after 6 o’clock. Long Branch, N. J.—President Wil son went to bed at 12:30 o’clock with his campaign'managers here and iff New York claiming1 his election. He left word, however, that.if really defi nite returns were received during the night , he should be awakened. WOMEN IN ILLINOIS VOTE SAME AS MEN. CHARLES E. HUGHESi WOODROW WILSON The National election proved to be the closet contest In many yeats. - The early returns indicated a victory for Hughes and Fairbanks and as early as 7:30 p. m., the New York Tribune, a staunch Democratic paper, flashed the election of the Republican National candidate#. At 7:45 p. m„ The New York Times followed with jjjie same news. These concessions were made when it became apparent that New York and Illinois had 'gone Republican, but when Ohio developed an uncertain outcome, Indiana showed a neck and neck race, Kentucky showed a larger Democratic' majority than was ,anticipated. . Democratic hopes were raised. .These gains were followed'by further returns favorable' to'W ilson and “Mar shall. Colorado came strongly to the Democratic side and California developed a tremendous Wilson vote. Kansas returns, showed a seie-saw fight with strong Democratie leaning. ’ The Republican National campaign managers at midnight could lay definite claim to only 254 electoral votes, 12 less than-enough to elect and in some instances these figures were-open to contest, The Republicans in sisted that the dozen additional votes needed would be forthcoming but could not specify just where. The Democrats .questioned this claim. A statement Issued by-the. Democratic National Committee, at 2 o’clock a. m., claiming that with the IOss of the following States, which it was not believed that Hughes had carried, President Wilson was still re-elected by a majority of two votes^n the electoral College: California, Indiana, North Eakota, South Dakota, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The. committee claimed that even If these States were lost it would give President Wilson a vote of £53 In the-electoral college. MIDNIGHT INDICATIONS WERE OF CLOSE RESULT Democrats Would Not Concede Repub- Ilcan Claims.of Electoral Vote Ma- jority—Official G. 0. P. Statement Indicated Slim Margin. New York.—At midnight the elec tion returns still incomplete in many states, indicated the election of Hughes and Fairbanks, but the figures were very close and the Democratic managers steadfastly refused to .con cede a Republican victory. Although the metropolitan newspapers; which have supported President Wilsda con ceded his defeat, the Democratic man agers insisted that complete returns from the West would reveres tbe.trend which steadily seemed to be piling up the Hughes column. “Remember 1891” was (the pre diction of the Democratic Publicity , Bureau, which pointed out that In that memorable contest the next day’s re turns revised placed Grover Cleveland [, In the White House. Soon after midnight the Republican National Committee, In an official statement, claimed California, Con necticut, Delaware, Idaho1 Illinois, In diana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland Mass achusetts Michigan New Hamoshire, New Jersey, New York, North Da kota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island. South Dakota, Vermont, Wash ington. W est'Virgifala and Wisconsin. That made a total of 284 electoral votes, 18 more than the necessary 266 for an election. This was the first official indication from the Republicans that the result would be so close.. HUGHES CARRIES NEW JERSEY RETURN8 SHOW.

Vine, (B y G. c /h USM ANN.) Native species of the grape are found in nearly all parts of the world, and no country is blessed with a greater number of them than our own. It is therefore reasonable to condudc that grapes can be successfully grown almost everywhere in the United States, results -with them depending largely upon the selection of varieties of the species suited to the respective conditions. Grapevines' .are propagated from seed, from cuttings, by layering,, or by grafting.

The length of the cuttings may vary from 8 to 20 inches, depending on the climatic and other conditions of the locality In which they are to be planted. Propagation by Layers. All varieties of the grape may be propagated by layers. In layering choose canes of the last season’s growth, preferably those that start near the base of the vine. I Is well, the summer before,, to leave, on the vine for this purpose some shoots Btarting close above ground and allow, them to grow as long as possible. In pruning these canes all the .well-de veloped buds are le ft The ground is made mellow, a trench about 2 inches deep is drawn ‘from the vine with the hoe, and the cane is bent down and Primed Vine (A) and Unpnined Vine (B), 8Howing Method of Training Iiy Overhead Caywbod System. ' fastened In i t .Badi bud on the cane will usually produce a shoot, which by this process is made to grow upward. When these shoots are well started the trench should be filled with soil. Each of the shoots then takes root at Ito base. -Canes may be layered at any season of the year, but most fre quently in midsummer, when canes of the same season’s growth are used. These; are .bent down to the ground and covered; with earth, the growing tips being allowed to project above the soil. vBodts will, form byautum n and the layers can then be cut from the parent vines and divided, the la terals which were left usually form ing the tops of the new plants. After being divide#, the plants should be thoroughly heeled In, like plants from seeds or cuttings. In general prac tice the layers are notdlstuTbed until wanted for use In the spring. Where vines are on overhead ar bors, Jayera can be made by placing boxes, of soil in the arbors and layer ing the canes into these boxes. . There- are many so-called; methods of grafting. Bench, nursery, and vine yard grafting are resorted to In gen eral vineiyard practice.

The Inherent peculiarities of the va rieties themselves often require spe cial methods to obtain the best results. _ Of the many . Styles -of pruning and training, a few will be mentioned here: Four-Cane Kniffin System. On the trunk of the vine at the lower wire of a two-wire trellis, about 30 inches from the ground, two canes and two spurs are left of last year’s growth, and two more canes and spurs are left at the top wire, about 56 inches from the ground. These canes, which are tied to the wire on each side of the vine, produce fruiting shoots which are allowed to bang <down or droop. This system Is named after William KnlflHn1 who first employed i t It has been extensively used along the Hud son river and elsewhere, and is said to be especially adapted to strong- growing varieties. Tines trained by. this system are easily and quickly pruned and require only a limited amount of labor in the growing season. Umbrella or Two-Cane Kniffin System. A^system very generally used in the training of American vines, known as the umbrella or two-cane Eniffin sys tem, differs from the foregoing in that no canes or spurs are left at the IoVPer wire, the trunk of Uie vine ex tending directly to the top wire, where the growth is annually cut back to two canes and two spurs, one on each sidev which are fastened to the top wire, It Is best to tie the trunk to both the upper and lower wires to prevent violent whipping- of the hang ing shoots. Some growers dispense with the Ioww wire. . This system is thought by many growers to be an improvement on the' HIGH COST OF LIVING Tills is a serious m atter with house keepers as food prices are constantly going up.

In a recently published boow Sir Henry Luiy has a charming story of the late Canon Alnger. The canon was very fond of children, and set out one night to attend a party given “by children for children.” “Don’t announce ine,” he said to the servant Leaving his coat and hat downstairs, he quietly opened the drawing-room door, where, the buzz of voices an nounced the presence of company. Dropping on his hands and knees he entered, making strange noises disUnct- Iy resembling the neighing of a horse. Aware of a dead silence, he looked up, and found the guests assembled for an eight-o’clock dinner regarding him with disgust not unmlxed with alarm. The children’s party was next door. —Youth’s Companion. Vine Pruned According to Four-Cane Kniffin System.

IA man should take his county paper on account of local pride, if 'nothing else, as there is no paper infaby county that is trying to educate and elevate and better the conditions of its peopie that is hot deserving of the Bupport of its best citizens. Every citizen Bhould take bis county paper, because it is his best friend. It works for him at all times—that is, It works for the best interests of all the citi zenship, and what helps all the peopie, of course, helps the indi vidnal. The man who does not read his county paper does not keep up with the local news of his neighbor hood and county. He does' not keep up with current events, there fore, is not abreast with the times, and makes less money than the fellow who does read. The man who reads and keeps informed on current events is always listened to In bis community. He is a welcome visitor among any group of people because they are all seeking know ledge or Sbonld be. Every good citizen should take bis local paper, because to be a good citizen a man must love bis family, be must love his community and love bid county and he is compelled to Support the agencies that are working for the elevation and the betterment of conditions. There is no agency so powerful for good as a good newspaper. If yon will notice iu BDycommUniFy a family that con stahtly reads the local county pa* per as well as other newspapers and magazines that family becomes tbe>best educated family in the ,community, they become the moral leaders,- the.-leadcrs of-tboegbfc, theleaders in tue church, and fin ally become the leaders in politics and in industrial affairs of the cpuntryat large. It is impossible to estimate the value of , the local newspaper in any home. Children will read of local hap penings of that community when they would not look at a book, and from neighborhood happeniugs they get to reading lengthy arti cles and editorials and get ideas, information and inspiration and become ambitious for more light, and go to the local schools when they otherwise would not go. They become bigger and broader and more far .Sighted than the child ren ol the home that contains no reading matter. If there is any thing in a child who has had an opportunity to catch an inspiration from the newspaper be is Iiableto go ou to the high school and from the high school to the university,, and from the university he or she may become the greatest citizens of the stateor nation. Any good local paper iB worth ijiore to any)family where there are children than 150 worth of books pgr year. This is tbe. beeti the brightest, the sweetest day in the bistorj of the world, aud it has brought aboiitvery largely by the newspapero aud the SchooVteacherB and preachers of tbe country. The United States is the. richest and !greatestcountry iu the world.. It baa a brighter future thau any other country. This has all. been brought about largely, from the same agenices. Of course, there ate good news papers and bad newspapere, just like there are good -men and bad menrbut thereare more good than bad. -. It behooves the people to investigate and be careful of the ybnptnt.pr ol literature that is plac ed In the hands of their children, because the paper that is read by tyie,cliild has^a great deal more to do witb molding their character than anything else, because it is more differently aud. universally, tjian anything else.-^Lexingtbn Dispatch; "i;; - '• v • \ • Ibe Baptist Moyepimt in Many of'the intelligent. cjSzj of our state do not know the size this movement. It is immense significant. It started, in the earlf; days of our history as a stafe- Ip was bom out of the sincere reKgioqj? aspiration of a plain pioneer peopb| But it has'outrun the pace of ,tni state in Hits growth in population wealth and culture] It now number^ at least 275,000 white people. -Th® says nothing of over 200.000 Negpf Baptist, nothing , of thousands- children in Baptist families, of tens of thousands of sympathizer** with the Baptist 'view of Christian^ ity. There are almost as many Bap* tists in North Garolina as all otheg church members put together. Theri are in this state sixty-four Baptist district Associations, over two thous? and and \ one hundred Baptist churches. Still the movement grows by leaps and bounds. At the present rate of increase by 1950 there will be in ourst&teat least 600,000 white Baptists. Three fourths of the North Caro lina Baptist strength is in tbe cotufe try. This puts on Baptist shoulders the pulkof the; obligation for 'relit gious leadership in the present re juvenation of oiir country districts It is a serious question whether they will measure up to" the obligation. The commonwealth has them under test at this point. Some think that the only peculiar ity of Baptists is their mode of bap tism. But their distinctiveness runs far deeper than that; baptism is on ly symbolic. But to them, that is important, just because it is simply a symbol. Bight of access of each soul to Cod, the absolute equality of ail believers in Chiist.. the integrity andsovereignty of eachlpcal church? are; Kinie o ^ th^r fdndamehl tal^distlifcfifeC l ^ ^ r ^faittils rae' religious underpinning for democ racy; the moral foundations of the modern republic. The Baptistpeople of North Caro lina have already grown many great institutions: IlieBiblicaI Recorder, their weekly organ; is read by near ly Mty thousand people during the year.- Their Stetie Boardof Missions handles annually about $150,000.00 Besides several private schools con trolled by Baptists, they have three great colleges. Wake Forest, Mere dith, Chowan, and fourteen Secon dary schools. Thei Thomasville Or phanage, the pet among their enter prises, is the largest institution of its class la North Carolina and easily one of thejargest.in all the South. There are 2250; Baptist in Davie County; and Baptist churches not every townshipJn the county Tbe Baptist In Davie and adj bin- jng-counties will rejoice to see these facts published- in- their county pa per.' The Baptist‘bf North Carolina count as one of their valuable as sets the; friendship of The Record which is read by , hundreds of Bapt ist people who see the Biblical Re corder. The next session of the Baptist State Convention mieets in Elizaiietb City on December 5th. Before that time, there' is. to be a struggle among the active Baptist of North Carolina. This-year they are raising' $20,000 for Christian Education. $50,000 for the Orphanage, $150,000 for Missions. North Carolina Baptists are spend ing this year in State Missionsalone that is in mission work - right here in our own state $55,000. This work is .vitally important to the moral, educational, civic life of our whole commonwealth. 'Here religion and patriotism meet in' the Baptist soul. What each Baptist'does for the cause shows him both as as a Chris? tian and as a citizen. This; $55,000 •s all to be raised by November 21st. Let every Baptist in Davie county do his part, in this tasje. Let no Bapt ist church of the county fail to take it up in dead earnest GvilSenice.: In our post office box -this morn- jng were some twenty-five or thirty sheets of paper—each one telling of some civil service examination that was to be pulled off In November — embracing everything that one might think about from an expert aeronautical aid, male, at $13 per to an assistant agrostologist. And the thought comes to us if the average tax-payer—the average citizen only knew of the thousands of barnacles and parasites and emaciated Has Beens who have attached themselves to Uncle Sam—offices created by !wild men and tame men; by men with theories and men with hobbles; by then wanting pie and men eating pie; by men who have made places for the whole families in want-and peril; by men who thing that Uncle Sam can pay any and all ldnds of bills—there would be in this country —anp it JwouId be justified by the facts, a-reAolution that would make Mexico’s melo-dramas look like ama teur theatricals. , There is enough Whitepaper wast ed every day by; the different de partments of this government to edusate a deserving orphan. There are enough superflous Qld Men of Iiie Sea on the pay roll of this govern ment to pay tbe interest on a bun dred million dollars. Ciyil service was a great thing, until . the. civil service commission allowed a thous and and one things that unblushing politicians would have been afraid to allow. But we-progreas.

Pessimists are downhearted abput . R iQ d^r that haa^l-. ways been and always will be-the crowning glory of womanhood. They say that woman has fallen from her high estate, and has put herself on the level with men who have never lived on so high a plane. , These brethren are too harsh and hasty in their judgments. One swallow does not make a summer. One termagant does not represent the women of a state. -There are thousands of wo men, gentle and sweet, who have hot bowed the knee to Baal. Some of them are in favor of woman suf frage, too. For the love of us.we don’t see how they hold such views, but they do, for we happen to know a good many of them and they are as refined'and ladylike asany wont ed under the sun. .A few fast worn- en in our larger towns set a swift pace. They drink liquor, smoke cigarettes and disgrace the sex by their swaggsring demeanor but they are not the type of the best women even in our great cities. In New Yoric and Chicago, tbank the Lord, there are many mothers who have not disowned motherhood, and are bringing up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Tnat the.moral tone of society has been lowered by the dress as well as by 'the deportment of our social leaders, it were folly to deny; but the genuine women- of the city as well as in the country deplore this tendency and maintain their own in tegrity in the midst of a crooked aiid perverse nation. Perhaps there is not so ranch maidenly modesty as formerly, but there is enough left to give us hope that society will yet cotiie to its senses and acknowledge the leadership Lof the m odeBt-and worthy women now in the back ground. I The loud women can be heard fartner than their modest sis tera Whsse tones are soft and low; but these gentle women are still with us—a great host of them. And thev are the salt that will savethe situation. Let no man despair/,The world nas not gone to the dogs.

Two facts nobody can deny. One is that rain .hints the cotton. The other is the cotton manufacturers ,have too nitich .sense lever to, pay ! as much for damaged lint as they would pay for good lint. They would be fools if they did—and they are not fools. The farmer gets docked for all the waste and ali-the damage. It pays any year to “pick dry, gin dry, aod store dry,” but this year it .will pay uousaily well. The mills making the best grades of doth must have the best grades oi cotton and, there is not going to be any. too much of these beBt grades this time; Consequently extra profits. : The thing for Mr. Cotton Farr mer to do therefore is "(I) to tee that bis cotton is so handled that the lint is extra grade, and then (2) see to it that this lint is'accur ately-graded so that he~ and not the buyer, will get extra money that spinners offer for grades above middling. 't Most farmers have to work hard enough to get what money they make. When some extra profit is offered easy, lets take ad vantage of it. And it is comparatively eae^ in most cases to observethe simple formula, “pick dryy gin dry ‘store dry—and .-F no w_'. you r grades. ZrZ The ProgreMive Farmer.

Deutsch-. land! the German submarine, which arrived here on November I, slipped out of the harbor at an early-hour Friday ‘bound for Bremen. - She left h er‘pocket at the -state'pier at 1:30 o’clock'-and was towed down the har bor by two tugs. Captain F. Hinscb and other offi cials of the Eastern Forwarding Com pany, were on one of the tugs. A launch filled with newspaper men followed the submersible down the Thaihes River to the mouth of the harbor. ' ■ The. Deutschland passe? the United States cruiser Columbia in the lower harbor at 1:45 o’clock. Several pass ing steamers and the Columbia turned their. searchlights on the boat and blew their whistles, „ Unusual activity at the state pier .early In the night indicated that the time was near for the departure of the submarine. These arrangements v v e believed preliminary to turning the. Deutsch land around at her pier. Ever since her arrival on. November -1 her bow had pointed toward shore. The United‘States cruiser Colum bia played her searchlights over the waters of the iower harbor incessant ly during the night. In-some circles the theory, was advanced that the Co lumbia’s mission was to see that the neutrality laws were observed.

Zinc and silver bars. She also carries several-sacks.of mail from the German Em bassyat Wash ington, sope ot which was said to be for the German Emperor. 10,000 MARCH TQ WHITE HOUSE TO CHEER WILSON.

THB DAVIB RECOUP, MOCKSVILLB, N. C CHIEF SIWV 10)1 INTERNATIONAL IS8UES BEFORE PRE8IDENT BOTH COMPLICAT ED AND PRESSING. MUST DECIDE VERY SOON From Now on President Expects to Deal With All Foreign Questions Without Embarrassment and With out Delay. Wahsington.— A portentous and complicated international situation now faces President Wilson and for the next few weeks will engage his attention and that of his advisers to the practical exclusion of all but the most urgent of domestic subjects. - • In the last days of the campaign Secretary of State Lansing frequently spoke of the necessity of postponing action on the more delicate interna tional questions because the uncer tainty of the outcome of the political contest had a direct bearing on the success or failure of some of the ad ministration policies. '■ From now on/ the President ex pects to deal with all foreign ques tions without embarrassment and he is receiving from his advisers a sum mary of the outstanding issues so essential to taking stock of the basic situation which must be met now that international relations have\re- turned to their place of prime im portance. While it is not evident that there will be any fundamental change ih policy, freedom from fear that any move at all would be misinter preted as inspired by an internal political struggle has been removed. President Wilson and Secretary Lan sing feel themselves able to act with a single, eye to the international sit uation and their immediate confer ences on the President’s return to, Washington, indicate how pressing they feel the situation to be. The President must decide how the United States shall meet the German submarine .question on that one hand, the Entente Allied trade restrictions on the Other, whether the retalitory legislation shall be enforced, whether the traditional theory of isolation shall be abandoned for concerted neutral action, and whether the coun try shall have an aggressive or a pas sive policy toward the peace con ference; the war after the war, and the Permanent League to -Enforce Peace which the President has accept ed in theory, and, during the rest of the war shall America’s attiude be governed by a deeidd benevolence in the interpretation of international law according to its own best interests or shall it be strictly legalistic; regard less of whom it affects? SEC. LANE IS TOLD TO END BORDER PLAN CONFERENCE. Diplomatic Settlement of Disputes Arising is Remote Unless Commis sion Agrees on Arrangement Already Submitted. Washington.—Armed with Presi dent Wilson’s complete approval of his course, Secretary Lane returned Co Atlantic City ,Monday determined to being the session of the American- Mexican Joint Commission to an early conclusion. He is still hopeful that an agreement-as to the border situation can be reached but it was clearly in dicated in official circles that the Joint conference in entering, on its final phase, agreement or no agree ment. - If the commissioners find it impos sible to formulate a plan the view taken here will be that the prospect of settling border disputes through diplomacy will be remote. Secretary Lane is understood to have found president Wilson, Secretary Lansing and Secretary Baker in full accord with him oh every point when he laid before them in a three-hour confer ence at the White" House a review of the efforts the American commission ers had made to reach a settlement. Mr. Lane said he was well" pleased with the results of the White House •conference but would’not otherwise comment SECOND INAGURATION OF WIL80N SIMPLE. Washington. —. President Wilson’s second inaguration probably will be a comparatively sumple affair. He is known to desire that thdre should be little ceremony. It is accepted as cer tain by officials that there will be no inaugural ball In spite of the hope of Washington citizens for such an "event The recent death of. the' President’s sister, Mrs. Anne Howe, the fact that. March 4 falls on Sunday next year, are reasons for simplicity. GIRL BREAK8 AIR DISTANCE RECORDS BY LONG FLIGHT. Blnghampton, N.

Bat, Homan thanksgiving days were not confined to this annual, celebration of the. festival of Ceralia. Sometimes they were held In commemoration of victorious martial campaigns. Plu tarch tells us of the'emperor who to conceal his defeat ordered a thanksgiving, which was observed! Then when -the facts of ' his disastrous campAgn became generally known, he excused liimself on the ground that he did not “wish to deprive the people of a day of enjoyment,” ' * In one way or.another, a thanksgiving..day has been observed in Cliristian Europe for centuries before its celebration In New England. On the continent, and for 9 time in England, it occurred at Martinmas, which was n day of feasting and drinking. Occasionally, too, civil authorities recom mended the observance of some .fixed day. To celebrate the victory of King Henry V of England, at Aglncourt, October 25, 1415, a public thanksgiving was held on Sunday, the feast of St. Edward, the King and Confessor. Such a day, too, was observed in Leyden, Holland, October 3, 1575, the first anni versary of that city from the siege by the Spaniards. Many instances of a thanksgiving day can be pointed out in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In 1559, the second year of Elizabeth’s reign, Thanksgiving day entered Rogation day.' Then It was ordered that, thanks should be given to Almighty Ood “for ,the increase and abundance of his'fruits upon the earth.” In this reign, too, there wasa- great national thanksgiving day that is' worthy of note. This occurred Tuesday, November 19,1558, and was In commemoration of the great victory over the “Invincible Armada.” « ■ - • One legal and annual thanksgiving day, because of the long time it was such, deserves special mention. After the traitors in the Gunpowder plot . had been tried and published In 1605, it was ordered that because of their deliverance the English people should keep the fifth of November every year “as a public thanksgiving day to Almighty God; that unfeigi\pd thankfulness may never be forgotten, and that all ages to come jnay yield praises to God’s divine majesty for the same.” The “fifth of November” continued a legal thanksgiving day for more than two centuries; but in later years it fell into ‘ disuse, and In 1833 was abolished by parliament. Long before the advent of the Pilgrimsi In Massachusetts,. all rituals contained expressions of gratitude to God for his mercies. In that of the Cliurch of England, special prayers were provided for the Sunday service; This service, however, must he carefully distinguished from the Thanksgiv ing day. of tlie Pilgrim fathers. Failure to make this distinction has led to _ the groundless claim that the Popham colonists .were “the first to keep Thanksgiving day” in America. The service at Monhegan, on which this claim is based, was the regular Sunday service of the Church of England; and while it had an element of thanksgiving, the day can in nowise be re^ garded as a thanksgiving day as that term is understood. Th* record made in his “Breeches Bible” by William White, who came over in the Mayflower, has far more significance In determining the origin of our American Thanksgiving day than the event at Monhegan. The record read: - “William* White married on ye 3rd day of March, 1620, to Susannah Tilly, ,Peregrine White born on board ye Mayflower in Cape Cod Harbor. Sonne born to Susannah White 19th ye six o’clock morning. Next aajr we meet for prayer and thanksgiving:” This meeting “for prayer and thanks giving” was hot on Sunday,, but on Tuesday. The fact that it was not a part • of the regular Sunday service makes it more nearly accord with our idea of Thanksgiving day than does the Monhegan,, event.. The prototype of our present Thantsgivihg day is found in the harvest festival at Plymouth in 1621.. The longrwinter that followed the establish ment of the colony bad been so severe tnat less than half the settlers had survived it. “At one time during the winter only Brewster, Standish, and five other hardy ones were’well enough to get about.’’ In the spring and summer that followed, their- fortunes Improved, and by autumn they had', cleared' 26 acres and madfc it ready for cultivation. This industry, too, had been rewarded by a bountevws h-.>;*?est. Now foo.d and fuel sufficient for the needs of the approaching winter were laid In. Then Governor Bradford ordered a thanksgiving—the first .in America. -The first thanksgiving was «ot for a day only. It continued a- week., In a letter to a friend In England, Edward Winslow has given us a brief account of the festivities. This letter bears date of December 11, and in it Winslow wrote: “Our harvest being gotten in, our Governor sent four men on fowling that so we might after special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruits of our labors. They killed as much fowl as with a little help beside-served the company about a week.- At which times among other recreations we exercise our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest king, Massasoytvwith some • ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer which they brought and bestowed oh our Governor and upon . the‘captains and others.” / , The records make'no mention of a.thanksgiving day in the next year, but In the year following, 1623, such a day was held. -This, however, was not In the autumn, but in July fin the arrival of provisions from England. JJearly 50 years pass-before we hear of another thanksgiving day at Plymouth. There was one in 166S, and another for the accession of the Orange Stuarts, William and Mary, in 1689. An autumnal thanksgiving was held in 1690, the last In th e h is to r y o f P ly m o u th c o lo n y , s Independently of Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay colony had occasionally its own thanksgiving days. There was such a day for the “safe arrival of ships” July 8, 1630; and again the ntert iFebruary, when the provision ship, Ambrose, arrived. In 1632, the general court ordered a “publique? thanks giving day in recognition of the “m’cy of God vouchsafed to the churches of God In Germany and the Pallatinate.” The next year the court, because, of the bountiful harvest, appointed October 16 as a thanksgiving day—the first harvest festival in the history of the colony. By 1680 the autumnal thanksgiving had become an annual festival. No doubt In Its games and sports It took the place of .the English Christmas, for until comparatively recent date all that savored of Rome and the episcopacy was held In dls- • favor In Massachusetts. . • During th e Revolution Thanksgiving day became national. All through the war congress annually set apart a day for thanksgiving; but after the “Thanksgiving f o r Peace” In 1783, there were no more until Washington became president in 1789. On October 3 of this year at New York he Issued a p r o c la m a tio n -asking th e observance of Thursday, November 26, as a day for national thanksgiving. . This was the -beginning of the orthodox ‘Oast Thursday” that has since been named in presidential proclamations.' By this time the festival had general official recognition throughout New Eng land, and In this year, 1789, the Protestant Episcopal prayer books recognized the authority of civil government lit the appointing of thanksgiving days. The chief differences between the two was the want of. ceremony at, Ply mouth that characterized the English festival. .In some parts of-England the merry-making was around the “noddingsheaf,” or “kern baby;” and In many places the last load of the harvest was drawn to the barn In a wagon called the “hoch cart.” In front went pipe and tabor, and around It gath ered the reapers, male and female, singing Joyously as they proceeded.

For example, the plum curcuUo is now -wintering as a full-grown beetle In the trash and Utter along the fence rows or about the trees; the codling moth will be found: In the worm ^itage within a silken cocoon tucked away under the SheUy bark of dead trees and dead limbs; and the fruit tree bark beetles or .'shot hole borers will .also be found wintering mostly as adult beetles In dead or dying trees. . - XJntyjr the old stalks and rubbish: in the garden and about the borders. will: be found.the adult asparagus beetle, bean-1 eafbeetle, harlequin cabbage bug, flea beetles,, the striped cucumber bee tle ahd the chrysalis of .the cabbage worm.- U you want .to kill these pests, pile and'hum dead tomato .and pea vine? and other remains of vegetation In the garden and along the border. Deep faH 'or early whiter plowing will also, destroy; many insectSr This is especially true.of the cutworms, po tato beetles, white grubs and wire worms which are now hibernating1'in ithe soU. Late fall or earfy winter plowing wUl turn these insects up near the surface and expose them to an at tack of birds, poultry and other ani mals. At this season of the year the insects; are In a dormant or semldor* m utt condition, and when brought up number to twenty. Get good, thrifty two-year-old trees and set, them 25 feet apart. The ground may be plants ed 'with com or'potatoes or some ^ther hoed crop for the first five years. If you are planting simply for home use, not intending to market, one tree of the Wealthy is enough. If the Jonx athan and Delicious succeed In your neighborhood by all means include them in your list. Black Annette and Salome are. good keepers and are hardy in tree in the north middle sec tions of apple growing; and they are alsd very good apples In quaUty. Then, with the N. W. Greening and Ihe old reliable Ben, you will be sure to have -fruit, if anybody has fruit. near.,the'siirface. of the ground thejr afe. unable to go deeper in the soil or to construct new cases or cocoons and they are killed by being subjected to excessive weather conditions and to the alternate, freezing and thawing.' Fall plowing and cultivation wUl also enable you to have vegetables a week or tein days earUer ne^t spring, because you will be able to plant earlier on fall-plowed ground. COLONEL WHEN BUB NO! St SWINE IN ORCHARDS WSEiilUCHINiyRY Never Safd to Permit Hogs or Cattle Among Fruit Trees Un less Grass Is Plentiful The-question is often asked, “Is It safe to let hogs run In an orchard!” It will, bfe safe if you will watch two or three important points. One is to be sure and see that the hogs do not get to rubbing the trees hard, as in the process of scratching themselves. Sometimes when hogs have Uce they w ill;. rub against the trees and thus cause considerable damage or injury to the tree. This damage may fliniiy end In collar blight of the apple,: and by this: mean; the hogs also aid In spreading the collar bUfeht or rot which is far the most serious disease of the apple tree. v Another point to watch la that IiogB do not root out the roots of the young trees. If there are white gruhs Iba the ground close to the roots the hogs may root there to obtain them and by tear- ihg out the roots they would of coiirae do considerable damage.: ' The last point is the possible dam age to the lower branches or low-hang. ing fruit, but if such injury is observed at the beginning it. Is easy.to prevent u ^ 01P1 going further by remiovlns the hogs from the orchard. In general, it may be said that I t la new r safe to let,hogs or cattle run ta any kind of orchard young m <fld/ un less there-is plenty of pasture or food therein. When the food supply nms low, look out.

Boyd 11A 1 Judge W ith Brains and Heart” is the characterization that The American -Magazine accordis Judge JameB E. " Boyd, of the Western North Carolina District: of United States ‘Federal Court in connection with an interesting ar ticle appearing in a recent issue. AecoinpanyiDg the article is,a. splendid full size cut of Judge Body. The article is interesting} although ' various statements con tained ‘herein are grossly errone ous. It is herewith reproduced: “ Hundreds of»persons living in certain mouutainous regions of North Carolina aro entirely with* out means of education or know ledge of current events, except that provided by judge James. E; Boyd when he delivers his charge tothejusy at each term of the United States Court. Boyd is the Federal judge of what may be known as the 'moonshine district’ oi North Carolina. Because of the nature of most of the cases which come before him for trail. Boyd is called ‘the moonshine judge. 1 “He had a system ior dispens ing justice, with a rich alloy of mercy, on a humanitarian plant that is made to order for the es pecial needs of tbe district in which he operates, For example, when Boyd charged a jury it fre quently requires several hours, and he touches scarcely at all ' on the law or facts pertaining to cases on trial. Instead, he devotes himself to reviewing the more important news events since the last term of court. One charge to the jury he devoted entirely to the European War, In addition to current eventsi he usually goes back to the, forma-" tion of the Constitution of the United States, and endeavors’ to set forth in. strong, simple lan guage, sticking mostly to words of one syllable, the need of law and of law enforcement. ‘These lectures, which the judge terms his jury charges are for tbe benefit of the illiterate mountain' folk who crowd into the trial room at Greeneboro at the opening of each term of court. It is, for the great majority, their sole means of education, tbeir one chance for an intellectual awakening. Scores oi these mountaineers camp in the court house yard in order to be present. ‘Judge Boyd^ now more than 70 years of age', wad appointed Unit ed State judge by President Mc Kinley. He was then it the At torney General’s office at,Washing- tcn, but had/previously served as prosecuting attorney in tbe same moonshine district of North Caro lina. Boyd early learned that justice, among an illiterate people, cannot be dispensed by ironclad ruld. He aims to fit each case ac- cording toils individual needs. uFor instance, a while ago he sentenced a man. to six mohths in the Federal prison' at Atlanta, even though there was some little doubt about his guilt. The pris oner Bhowed marks of disease, and the judge felt that six months nnt der the medical care of the prison authorities would be tbe greatest kindness for the man that he could bestow. “ Nothing is so important to a mountain dweller in that region as harvesting the corn crop. If the only able-bodied man h fa family is sent to prison aind the corn is not aavied,-the family is left in dis tress and, in the opinion of Judge Boyd,there is wrought more resent- fulness against law than respect for it. So Boyd always pays close heed t8 the state.ot a man’s crops before passing sentence Frequent iy be. will turA to, someone in the court room whom' be knows to be a close neighbor of a. man; found yand say: ; W :‘- *'<Hepry,: if John should have «o go away for.a little while, you could get in his .corn .tor him; ow ^d’tyou!’' • ; v.V’;’ .y-- Isit^Prosperity?

We have been reading more or less oflateabout snobbery in our public schools.

It- declares that on rainy days particularly the high Bch(M)Is -resemble foreign leg ations housing receptions to the world’s diplomats. The. danger of this is obvious. Those who do not have are envious. Thoae who do have, cheat themselves with a false superiority., Parentsare un der unusual obligations these days to train their children along paths th at lead to the highest goal It is conceivable, however; that with the general ' increase of wealth motor cars may be so common that they will become as democrat ic an institution as the bicycle.

A Kt of History and a Prophecy* In 1881 a. Republican sheriff in Pasquotank "county was brought to account by a Republican board of comtnissionec in thfa county for fail ure to turn into the treasury .cer tain pick-up taxeswhich he had col lected. That Republican board of commissioners forced that default ing Republican sheriff to resign. In 1916 a Democratic Board of Commissions in Pasquotant County are apprised of the fact that a De mocratic sheriff in. this county has failed to turn in money which he had collected for the period of at least four, years. The Democratic Board of County Commissioners meekly allows that sheriff a com mission on'the money which-he had used for four years and the sheriff waB not so much as reprimanded for his offense. c The Democratic party has got to make a better record in this county or there will be no Democratic par ty in this county outside of that North Road St. Buzzards’ roost where the Democratic bossos & this town hold religious orgies and pose as the chosen of God.—The Indepen dent.

Gibly, of Chicogot was .visiting relatives in CoryaHis while on her way to Shimghai, China^ where her husband is manager of the Amos Bird Company,- freezers of ' eggs. Standing by itself that little personal ij^.racam t very little, .but to one io^^f#df^tf«U y:c<H^iders:itsBig-'. nificance. it means mucll. Mr. Gil- by went-from Ghicago, in the heart of one of the largest agricultural sections of the United States, to Shanghai, China, to engage in freez ing Chinese eggs to be shipped- to America to be sold in competition with the eggs produced by . his for mer neighbors in Wisconsin, Illinois Iowa. Indiana, Michigan and all that agricultural territory tributary to the ,central metropolis. It was the removal of the tariff on eggs that made it possible for the Chinese pro ducer to sell his products in the United States. The remOvaj of that tariff also induced the Amos Bird Company to take its good American money over to China to invest in the egg freezing business. Thus the Underwood law encouraged the de velopment of Chinese industry and discouraged the farmers of the United States who .sometimes find it difficult to get a profitable price for eggs, notwithstanding the high price the consumer usually pays, and is now paying.

Virtually every manufacturer will have an attract ive booth in the exhibit ^hall and the display of “ Made in-States ville” goods promises to be an ela borate one: The exhibit will prove interesting, educational and enter taining.

Is this fair? A Democratic elector in Alabama has been arrested for embezzlement and if he is convicted before Janu ary 2 his place will be vacant at the electoral board meet, which will cost President Wilson one vote.

According to the information published, Congressman Britt charges—and it 13 not denied ^ far as Tne Landmark has seen— that it was ruled by the Democrats, controllidfi: the election machinery, that ballots not marked and the law requires them to be marked—should be thrown ;oat as illegal, atid-that this was; done. When Ihe returns on the congressional vote in Bun-, combe showed that Britt had a ma jority in the district, the board ad- joumed for the week without certi fying the congressional returns, apd when it met again took up the mat ter of counting the unmarked bal lots from certain precints in Bun? combe county. This was finally done, with the result that Britt's majority of 13 on the face of the returns was converted into a majority of 9 for Weaver. • In the first place, the Democrats in charge of the election machinery.- having given -'it out that the law would be strictly followed and all unmarked ballots thrown out, were under ' bligation t > pursue that course to thd end If it was decided later that the un;r>a-ked ballo s should be counted, this could have done fairly only by counting all un unmarked ballots cast in every pre cinct in every county in the district. This was' not done. On the contra ry it seems the question of counting the unmarked ballots was hot brought up until it was found that Britt had a majority and too late to take such action In any county save Buncombe.. The final action of the Buncombe -board, in counting unmarked ballots from five Buncombe precincts, these being sufficient to give Weaver a majority, -has every appearaiice. of being grossly unfair and unjust.—StateBVille Landmark.

At Kansas City, Mo., the Adamson 8-hour law was held unconstitutional by Judge William C. Hook in the fed eral district court. The court, how ever, made it plain that the decision was not based cn mature considera tion of the merits of the case, but on expediency desired by all parties at interest because of the necessity of final action by the Supreme court of the United States before January I, next, - when the law becomes opera tive. : A Lakewood, N. J., dispatch an nounces that Charles E. Hughes, erst while Republican candidate for presi dent of the United States, sent Presi dent Wilson a telegram conceding his election and congratulating and wish ing him a successful administration.

European War A crisis In the relations between the entente commander and the Greek minister over the demand for the sur render of the Greek arms and ammu nition, if, as reported, the ministry has decided not to resist the demand. Yice -'Admiral du Fournet, the entente commander, has delivered en' ultima tum to Greece allowing only a short period In which the arms In Athens were to be surrendered. It is reported that the provisional government of Greece, headed by Veni- zelos, has declared war on Bulgaria.

Western Wallachia is apparently en tirely in the hands of the Teutonic allies. Pressure of the German and Aus trian troops continues north and north west of Bucharest. Violent fighting has again broken out in Dobrudja. While attempting to hoid the Russians and Roumanians In check north of the Tchemavoda-Con- stanza railway line, Field Marshal von Mackenzen has thrown his men across the Danube at several places, but just where is not stated In dispatches.

Cotton growers in the United States lost something like $7,600,000 in. 1913- 14 because grades were not properly taken into account in the pripiary sales. A London dispatch announces that Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim, American- born, one of the most famous inven tors, and whose weapons are being used largely in the present European war, is dead at his home in London; In defense of the farmers, the Na tional Grange, In session In Washing ton, issues a statement analyzing the high cost of living and attributing the rising prices of form products to poor crops and the increasing cost Cf what the. farmer has to buy. The National Grange says that if any embargoes are to be placed to help the rising prices of foodstuffs, they should be placed on manufactured products, particularly munitions of war. ’ London dispatches - announce the death Vf Ehnperor Francis Joseph of Austria-Hungary. The end came at Schoenbrunn’castle. The first intima tion that Emperor Francis Joseph’s health was again the subject of solic itation was contained in a dispatch dated November 12, emanating from Vienna, which reported that, the em peror had been suffering for some days from a slight catarrhal affection.

Democrats Make Loud Claims of "Pros perity" While Piling Up an Enor mous Deficit—Appropriations Beyond All Reason. The Democratic administration, which is loudly proclaiming “prosper ity,” is piling up a government deficit of nearly $2,000,000 every 24 hours. Congress has made appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30,1917, which total $1,630,383,000. Every source of revenue available at pres ent WUl fall short $444,814,000 of rais ing that sum. The estimates of incomes are: From customs duties $225,000,000, -inter nal laws $515,000,000, new rev enue law $205,000,000, sale of Pan am a. canal bonds remaining in the treasury $240,569,000. That is a to tal of $945:000,000 with which to pay $1,630,383,000. Of the appropriations for the cur rent year $349,103,590 are attributable to military and naval preparedness and on account of the war situation. In addition to that' item, which is looked upon as extraordinary, the Democrats have arranged to spend in the present year $336,000,000 in ex cess of the revenues of the nation. Not only are they facing a deficit of $444,814,000, but to keep it down to that total they are figuring on selling $240,569,000 Panama dhnai bonds, thus adding to onr bonded debt by $240,569,- 000. In other words, in one year’s op erations, they would increase by $685,383,000 the amount thecpuntry owes. That is more than two-thirds' the total national debt of $1,028,564,- 055 when they took charge. During the Ifirst eight months of the present year our shipments of ma terial exceeded similar shipments made during the same period in the year the war began by $1,535,000,000. Add ed to this there was a gain in the ex port of cotton and breadstnffsf^s ap ply clothing and food needs’ of Eu rope due wholly to the war.iiwhioh in creases the total to $1,748,000,000? Our total exports of all kinds now amount to $2,110,000,000 more than they were In 1914. There is no evading the ob vious fact that the war was the cause. What is going to happen to this business and the employment of Amer ican wage-earn'ers which is back of it when -the war ends? There is cer tain to be a great change. President' Wilson’s_ Weakness.' / Undoubtedly the impression left upon an unprejudiced student of Mr. Wilson’s public career Is that of a wavering, shifting personality, ever seeking a line of least resistance. His innumerable changes of mind on im portant questions point inevitably' to a sacrifice of principle- In favor "of political expediency. More significant still have been his direct surrender to dictation from special interests. His well-known reliance upon unofficial ad visers. in the conduct of his adminls tratioD Isi another indication of bis inability to stand alone, to mark out a course for himself and pursue it .to the end because he believes it to be right. — Pittsburgh Chronlcle-Tele- graph. Conditions After the War. When the war ends,, the demand for our strictly war exports will abrupt ly cease. The belligerents will begin at once to supply their other needs. The neutral countries of Europe will not have to look to America alone for their supplies. These are conditions which cannot be avoided. But there is greater peril still. Our own home market, "'which furnishes a business eight times as great as even our pres ent abnormal export trade, will be in vaded unless an adequate protective tariff is immediately imposed. It will be the most attractive market in .the world to gold-hungry Europe. W V I J 1/ r " ■*«:: i.

Thanksgiving day is an Ameri can custom started by the Pil grims who landed on the new continent and faced hardships which few can realize who are reared in the wealth and luxury of the land to day. The season had been a hard one. Many had died and the prospect of starvation during the cold winter with Ats ice and snow loomed large. So, when the harvest yielded enough to keep them until another season wonld produce the. necessities of life, they met that last Thursday In November In year 1621, and gave thanks to their God, who bad remembered them. Thankfulness is usnally in inverse ratio to the value of the thing for which we give thanks. This is no dis paragement of the things we are grate ful for; but humanity does not think of thanks until it has felt the terrors of distress. The rich who live in luxury and ease do not thank with their hearts. Their thanks are but formal expressions of meaningless words. How can words mean anything when one has not felt the things which make for thankful ness? . But the poverty-stricken who have faced starvation pour ont thanks from their.humble hearts for the things that have saved their lives. Those who live In gorgeous homes with comfortable fireplaces do not think of thanks. But those who live in the little hovel with big cracks in the walls and crevices about the doors and windows and without fuel, give thanks for the comfort of fire. - We do not prize health until we have lost it, and we do not appreciate life until we have faced the danger of hav ing to give it up. That which we have we are .likely to accept as a matter of course;, but be deprived of it and the sudden realiza tion of its value jars our «on!s like an earthquake. We are thankful In the full sense of the word for things necessary to Ufe and happiness only when we have had to do without them. We are not thankful for that to which we are accustomed and accept thoughtlessly. But when we are de prived of the necessities of Ufp and face the hardships, including death, that come as a result, we are tt.,... Irf1^ with all our heart America has more to be thankful for yearly, than any other nation in the world; but our thanks are tempered by the gravity of the sorrow of our neighbors. Tlie year has not been one of great happiness, peace and prosperity. It is a year of travail for humanity—the travaU of a people being born ,again.

Furs hnve invaded every branch of woman's apparel as the most desired of garnitures. There is an Immense enthusiasm for them. They add a sumptuous touch to coats and suits and wraps of all kinds. In millinery a border or collar of fur on a lace or flower-trimmed hat makes places for its summery gayeties In the depth of winter. MiiUnery designers delight in. the touch of fur. > Just about the best asset In the winter's wardrobe Is a fur set of some sort—a neckpiece, little or big, and a sniiirt muff. They are worn • with coats aad suits, one-piece frocks, and evening wraps. Anything unusual or original in designing them, so long as It is graceful, adds much to their dis tinction. The woman who is clever about making things for herself at tome can make small fancy neckpieces nnd pillow muffs of fur or of fur and n material combined. The handsome set pictured Is made of moleskin bordered with Hudson seal. The small cape, rather full, Is lengthened by two ruffles of moleskin, and has the effect of a triple cape, each one of them bordered with the seat. There are two similar ruffles at each side of the muff. The ruffles are lined with mole-colored satin, and the very modish collar muffles up the Beck in the approved style. All the soft, loosely woven cloths that are fashionable are combined with fur bandings In smart sets. Vel vet, brocade, and rich ribbons play-an Important role also in fashioning them. Neckpieces In combinations of fabrics and fur are usually small, but. muffs are larger than many all-fur muffs. Large fur-covered buttons and hanging balls of fur are among the embellish ments that fashion approves.

The golden days of Indian summer might make us forget winter, or cease to believe in it,' if it w'ere not for forecasts in the shop windows. They ore full of fineries and flirbelows for Ciiristmas gifts, and furs and wraps that will warm those who wear them to the soul; or let us hope so. It Is to lie gathered from them that skating will be winter’s foremost pastime, for there are all sorts of skating outfits displayed. There are costumes among them in wliieh sports cloths reach the apex of luxury and beauty, and there are >uany unpretentious but captivating skating sets, sometimes of three Pieces, and offen of two. The three- piece sets Include' muffler, cape, and mult to match, and the two-piece sets mulller and cape or hat. They- make ideal Christmas gifts. Several of the new materials, as 'yool velours. Bolivia cloth, and the lighter fur-fabrics are perfectly adapt ed to these sets. Eiderdown is an ideal material for them, and the set shown in the picture Is made of it. "Ut any of the soft* woolly cloths might be used for the plain muffler and to cover the small hat shape, with about the same good effect. The hat Is held on by a bridle of eiderdown, and the sportlve-looking pompon Is made of yarn, which is of all things the best for decorating skating sets. Besides the sets made of fabrics there are practical and handsome ones of yarns; Angora Is the coziest looking of these. White bordered with colored stripes and bright colors, trimmed with white, seem to match up best with a winter landscape; at any rate this Is.the opinion of those who have designed skating togs. But more audacious color combinations may ex pect to meet with approval against a background of ice and snow, and after dll is' said, there Is nothing better than' vivid Scotch plaids £>r winter sports.

Julius Bernheim and William S. Clapp, manager and stage directors, re spectively,- of the New York theater, in One Hundred and Sixteenth street, were arraigned before Magistrate Breen, ia the Harlem court, charged with violation of the Sabbath law, The complainant, Detective Miller, stated that they had, there and then, before a large audience, permitted jug glers. to juggle, acrobats to bend, come dians to get funny and last and' most frightful, ballet persons to wriggle and cavort Ballet-Dancing Stunt. Messrs. Bernheim and Clapp, having long been manager and stage director, respectively, of many theaters, listened with at least one sleeve of laughter be tween them. They realized that the court presently would ask the officer just what the performers did and then, In the customary clumsy recital of the atrical art, would rest their safety. It would sound awfully harmless, just as it always had. So they were all set when the court said: "What do you mean by ballet da'ne. ing?” What they were not ready for was this: Detective Miller, throwing a Milter Doee Not Speaic, He Illustrates. kiss to the court and another out of the window, jumped high in the air, moved his legs tremulously, .pulled' up his jacket and running in a circle kicked high, turned .on his toes, wiggled with discretion and finally sank with a sigh of artistic fervor back upon his own knees. Then he threw 72 freckled kisses at random. ~ Then the Juggling. “Oh,” said the court, “like that. Well, what of the juggling?” Detective Miller took three derbies and his own felt hat, piled them, put a cigar on top of them, tossed them all into the air and caught his own. Through the cotter of the complain ants’ bounding turbans came the mur mur of the court's approval. “And the acrobats?” said Magistrate Breen. . Miller turned three handsprings.

SWEATIN6 FRUIT IS VIOLATION OFLAW Food and Drugs Act Prevents In terstate Shipment of Immature OrangesandGrapefruiL IFrom th e U nited S ta tes D epartm ent-of A griculture.) Orowera and shippers of oranges and grapefruit are making inquiries of the United States department of agriculture in' reference to what ac tion will be taken by the department during the coming season toward pre venting the shipment into interstate commerce of immature citrus fruits which have been artificially colored by sweating. The officials in charge of the enforcement of' the food find drugs act state they will be guided in their action by the position of the department previously announced, to the effect-that the shipment in inter state commerce of immature oranges and grapefruit, which are sweated ei ther before shipment or en route, is a violation of the food and drugs act when the sweating conceals inferior ity by making unripe fruit appear to be ripe. The sweating process turns the'green color of the unripe fruit to yellow, and fruit so treated has the appearance of being ripe. However, extensive investigations by the depart ment have shown. that the sweating process does not ripen the immature fruit. One of the tests tft determine wheth er or not an orange is mature is the so-called “eight-to-oce test.” This test Is based -on the ratio of the soluble solids to the acid contained in the juice of the orange. The soluble sol ids increase as the oranges ripen, while the acid decreases. The or anges are considered immature until the juice contains soluble soUds equal to, or in excess' of, eight parts to each part of acid contained in the juice. The amount of soluble solids In or ange juice is about, equivalent to the amount of sugar it contains. The ra tio of the sugar to the acid in' the juice determines the sweetness of the orange. In the case of grapefruit, maturity is indicated by a ratio of sev en parts of soluble solids In the juice to one part of add. The United States department of agriculture will send to any grower or shipper, upon request, specific directions for making the eight-to-one test ■ The position of' the United States department of agriculture in reference to the sweating of immature citrus fruit is stated in Food Inspection De cision 133, and in Service and Regu latory Announcements of the Bureau of Chemistry numbered 11 and 15, which will -be furnished upon application to the department - ’ PROTECT AU YOUNG TREES FRO* RABBITS Tarred Building Paper Tied Around Trees Will Afford Abso lute Protection. It to time to think about protecting the young trees from rabbits. In the editor’s boyhood days we attempted to do this by applying various prepara tions to the tree trunk, but we Io not recall any that were effective. Last winter we saw a young orchard In which tarred building paper, costing 60 to 75 cents per 150 feet, had been tied around the trees, affording abso lute protection. Cot in strips, wrap about the tree, and tie' with tarred twine. .The tar ia repellant not only to rabbits, but to mice and insects, and the trunks of trees protected in this way will not be injured. This may be left on ^ during the season if so desired. The paper may remain around the trnnk for two or three years without injury.—Kansas Farm er. TO GET BETTER EGGS Keep males from hens except during breeding season. Gather eggs carefully in warm weather twice daily. Keep nests free from filth and provide plenty of them. Market eggs twice a week if possible. Never wash eggs, it destroys their keeping qualities.

The value of barnyard manure va ries according to the way it is treated, according to the Ohio experiment sta tion. In one test just announced in Bulletin No. 286, manure that was un treated was worth $2.60 per ion and when treated with acid phosphate at the rate of 40 pounds to the ton and kept under cover was worth $4.80. The experiment station explains that ma nure is not well-balanced fertilizer for the older farm lands and that the ad dition of acid phosphate should be made to obtain the highest results from the manure. IMPORTANCE OF ORCHARD WINDBREAKS (B y h . A R N Y 1 N ew T o rk E x p e rim e n t S ta tio n .) The Important'point is to place the tree In such a place that it will have the advantage of high altitude, which means good air drainage, but at the same time that it will-not be exposed to high winds, which means quick evaporation. The best means of ac complishing this is to provide the or chard with a windbreak. Windbreaks should contain both care and judgment, since they often become a hindrance instead of a help In places where they are wrongly planted. The one great drawback to them is the fact that unless watched To this end, the evergreens will check the wind during the winter and. the deciduous ones wilt help daring the summer. Aside from this point, the break made from the mixed types of trees will be more efficient than the one composed of all evergreens, al though the latter will check the winds both during winter and summer. Spruce Is Quick Grower. The spruces are probably the most common evergreen trees that are used for this purpose, because they are comparatively quick growers and make a good growth on a wide range of soils. Among the deciduous trees the I HEATERS WHICH SAVED CROP OF PEARS. very closely, they may become a breeding place for dangerous insects; but if care is exercised In this direc tion, the good effects of them will overbalance this point. That is,' if the orchard is regularly and intelligently sprayed, the Insect problem is not an economically serious one. ObjeciofW Indbreak.. WindbreakSlShould be planted with evergreen and deciduous trees. The object is not to stop the wind, since that would be almost as harmful as having too much, but it is simply to check it so that the force will be bro- Ken by the time It reaches the trees, and unprotected orchard sites. maples and the birches lead, and both do well under varying conditions. The trees are- planted closer at first than they are wanted, so that an imme diate effect can lie gotten, and as soon as they begin to grow or to make the break too dense, enough are taken oat so. that the break will not-be a,bar rier.

We didn’t see much evidence bearing on symptom No.: 8, but with ail the other seven symptoms well developed', we know that the eighth is bound to show up eopnff Davidson is a good county. Its farmers live at home'and then have a lot of wheat to sell A. Andl they use modern machinery;' grow nntold acres of clover, have quit pulling fodder, and have become passionately intern ted - in Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein, and Aberdieen AugnB cattle. The only regrettable thing to note here is that they are oot combining on one dairy breed instead of scattering their interest among several breeds. A t Lexipg ton a real co-operative is at work, and making Vponey for tbe four teen three teacher schools—some of the fourteen schools having four teachers—and a well organized movement is under . way Jto get more up to-date schffOls to sup plant the one teacher type.

It is a general rule not only in this coun try but in other Republics that no man shall be . accorded such honors during his. life time. No public monuments have been erected to living Presidents, and only one Presi dent*has had a day set apart in his honor after his death. In monar chies it to the custom .to observe the birthdays of the rulers as special days foTOmtional. celebration.
