APRIL 4. 1917.NUMBER 38 Justice Rather Than Love. The sentiment expressed by one ot tbe ablest exponmects of woman eufferage that women want justice from —men not love, is the most significant statement of the under lying motive-of the woman suffer- itge movement that we have seen. If this does not mean the dismant ling of the home it has no mean ing at all. If this doctrine spreads and the women generally embrace it the future of the race is dreary indeed. Bnt a majority of the women of the world will not sub scribe to this unwomanly state ment. The normal woman w ill continue to put love at the top ol everything else in the world as she has done ever since the world began. The Lord made her this way and she is not going to reverse neutral order of things. She may vote, she may even hold office, and preach and practice law, and do many things that she has no busi ness doing, but she w ill still hold love above justice and prize as heu dearest possession. Bednced to hard cold facts this statement ol the case is about thiB, iiXou men have tried to buy us off with love. You have ground us under your heels and denied us the rights to which we are entitled, and offered to compensate us with candy and flowers. You have kept us in du rance vile with honied words which you did not mean. Now give us justice and take your soft senti ment and below it will beappeciat- id. We propose to free ourselves from the chains you have garland ed with rosea, and stand fllatfooted tor our rights competing with yon for the rewards and emoluments ol human endeavor. Bing love out- ring justice in .” Now friends and fellow citizens how does that strike yon! Does it not Bpell home with out children, and a hard and dreary struggle for a living with- ou' the radiance of domestic bliss! As we have said we do not believe the normal woman will accept any such bleak and dreary doctrine. She was born to lo v e , and the mother heart beats warm and true. She wili not surrender this blessed boon for any earthly good; for when Bbe does she ceases to be a woman and becomes a man. We are quite convinced that woman sufferage is coming and that right early, but we do not believe the most ardent suffragist in North Carolina will say that justice over stops love I— Charity and Children.

When Dr. Henry Abernethy was last interviewed he still insisted that the man who stole those two hens from tbe nest of eggs on which they were setting is the meanest man out of the pen, and looking at it one way one time and anotebr way the next time, we are lead to believe the doctor would be right if we couldn’t go the doctors just one better. A life long friend of our family in Pa. sent us an irish potato last Saturday morning. We meant to look at it for Snnday dinner, but decided be fore going to the back yard, while we were away to cause a little envy among the neighbors. We don’t know if any of the neighbors saw the potato, but when we came home tne potato was gone.—Hickory Mer cury. Fool Preachers. The New York Times says that the pulpits of New York city are thundering forth war talk Sunday by Sunday. They said 1861-5. A certain element of preachers can al ways be counted on in times like these to make fools of themselves. In stead of ambassdors of peace they are cheap jingoes who urge others to fight but save their own hides. Flags float from the pulpits of these paper warriors and the devil holds high carnival over the whole busi ness Dr. Charles A. Eaton of the MadisonAvenue Baptist chnrch is particularly war like and says red blooeed men may be excused for ’'cussing” the “wildeyed women and pussy footed pacifists.” Hethought that was a courageos utterance.

Of the many features carried by the show this season, some of the Animal Acts are without doubt the most wonderful and thrilling ever presented to an American audience. The big group of fighting forest- bred lions, all full grown males, give an exhibition that is full of thrills, and the audience is left with a posi tive feeling of awe at man’s wonder ful mastery over the brute creation. Another extraordinary feature with the show is Capt. Wesley’s troupe of educated Seals and Sea Lions. These interesting sea ani mals perform the most seamingly impossible feats; balancing chairs, umbrellas Jand whirling brands of fire while climbing ladders, walking tight ropes and riding the backs of galloping horses. This feature baf fles description and must be seen to be appreciated. Many other wonderful things are to be seen with this mammoth show, and the main performance beneath the big tents will present .a number of the most marvelous foreign acts of the century. The menagerie of wild animals carried with the show is complete in every detail, and contains rare and curious specimens of the earth’s mostinteresting and curious animals.

There is an old saying that “iHattjjjeg c u r e s , the doctor takes the fee,” but as ev e ry o n e knows you can help Nature very much and thereby enable it to effect a cure in much less time than is usually reaiiired.

During January a greater number was issued. The two hund red money orders amounted to $500, which means that much money was sent out of this country perhaps nev er to return. Thborders issued in January carried out over fifteen hundred dollars, making a total of two thousands dollars or one thous and per month going out of Yadkin county to mail order house oj other places and 90 per cent of it will nev er return. , Wonder if the people realize what this means to a county. Why should’nt this money be kept here at home and spent with our home merchants? One reason is be cause the home merchant never ad vertises his goods. The people know he has a "store” but they know nothing of the values good as those in the catalogues which the merch ants have. He do.es not keep them posted on his new spring or fall goods. Not so with/the mail order house. Their catalogues adorn ev ery home along with other advertis ing matter. When the home mer chant thinks he cun get all the trade coming to him without advertising he is making a bad mistake, and the money continues to pour out of the county to the millionaire of the north.—Yadkin Ripple. The Offence More Serious. “All friends of law and order,” says the Chatham Record, “will be pleased to learn that the Legislature passed a bill making it a felony to run a blockade still. Heretofore that offence was only a misdemean or, punishable by fine or imprison ment, but this new law makes it V felony and is punishable by a sent ence to the penitentary and a loss of civil rights.” The manufacturers of booze will take notice that the off, ence is now a little more serious un der North Carolina law. Hereto fore, as the Record says, it was a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment, and in case the offen der had had friends at court and found a lenimeht judge, was usually let off with a fine and a promise of good behavior. Under the new law the offence is hot only a felony but the minimum punishment is 12 months’, imprisonment, which means chain gang service or stay in jail, unless help comeS from the Govern or. Furthermore conviction of a felony depriyes one of citizenship— of the rightNto vote. It is more serious than a convicition for a sim pie misdemeanor.-StatesviHe Land mark. The Woman. She was a woman, worn and thin, whom the world condemnied for a single sin. They cast her out of the Kinng's high way,, and pass ed her by as they went to pray. He was a man the more to blame, but the world spared him the breath of shame. Beneath his feet he saw her lie, but he raised his head and passed her by. They were the people who went to pray at the temple of God on the Holy day. They scorned the woman, forgave the m an;’twas ever thus since the world began. ‘Time passed on the woman died. On the cross of shame sbe was cru cified. The world was stern and would not yield, and they burried her in the potters field. The man died, too they burried him in a casket ot cloth with a silver brime, and as they' turned from the grave away, said: We buried a noble man today. “ Every Man His Own Truck Fairaer” is the headline in a metro politan newspaper.

Because eight Senators did not have the same opinion as their col leagues did about the armed neut rality bill, a few hairbrained, small calibre editors of the count ry have been raking thein over the coals in a shameful manner.

Plant Potatoes. In the hope of encouraging the many readers to join in the move ment to become independent of the cold storage scoundrels who are largely responsible for potatoes be ing out of reach of the poor man’s table, this editoral from Charllotte News is reproduced: News comes out ot Philadelphiat a sleepy :old city according to tradition, but thoroughly alive and modernized in at Jeast this partcular, that the housewives are clearing away the decks for action, and instead of planting flower beds and shrubbery, they are preparing to plant Irish potatoes. It is a comely sign. It ought to be done right here in this community. There is no occasion to rob the home premises of every vestige of flower or bulb or shrub, but a po tato patch ought to be an adden dum to the flower garden. Suoh a planting will be found to be profitable unto success in reducing the cost living and in swearing secession from tbe dictations of the cold storage barons who have the potato crop of this country secret ed in their chambers and who are now building up American people at the point of prices that are ex orbitant, extravagant and entirely withuot the semblance of justifiable reason.

In a bunch of pardons! some seven in number, granted last Saturday by Governor Biekett was one, that of a woman, who had been in • the pent tentiaryfor eighteen years—senten ced for twenty-five. Her crime was infanticide, and it was committed when she was at the tender age of thirteen years. The Governor said there was no reason upon the face of the earth to keep her there any longer, and we say, in God’s name, No! But think of that,'you men of the world who make our laws. Think that in our state penitentiary there has been for eighteen long and drea ry years a woman now—a tiny girl then—wearing out her life as a pris oner, or convict, because when she was but thirteen years of age some scoundrelly brute, a fiend incarnate, lied to her, deceived her, and made it possible for her to become guilty of the crime of infanticide. Eigh teen years she has given to pay for the crime committed, and the foul fiend of hell who was really the guil ty one is perhaps somewhere -an or nament of Society today. If Ie isn’t, it isn’t the fault of Societ.', He was the one who should have been sent to the penitentiary, and the tiny girl, the infant, not yet ar rived at the age of discretion in any thing. should have been sent to some home and saved to Society. But what will she do now? After eighteen years spent among the prisoners—eighteen years, putting her now past thirty years of age— an outcast, dishonored, unknown and unloved, what hope i3' hers? No man can stand up before the judg ment bar of God and say that girl got justice. No state can defend its shame that does an inhuman act like that. She took a life of a new born babe—the state in turn took the life of a girl who had confided to the whispering lies of a conscien celess demon who should have been- drawn and quartered. Where was the wonderful Graig- who couldn’t stand to see a woman dragged down the corridors of a death house, when he commuted tbe sentence of Ida Ball Warren, the Winston murderess? Why wasn’t he looking after such people as this girl and extending to her executive clemency? We hope that Governor Bickett will search the record and if he discovers any more such blight ing shame upon the state as this case, that he will speedily grant par dons to all such unfortunates.—The Hickory Times-Mercury. DAVIE COUNTY 50 YEARS AGO. History of The Bailey and Kelly Fami lies—Those Who Have Help ed to Make Davie Famous. There were three or four families of Bailey's who have helped to make Davie famous. We can't mention them all. There were two Sam Bailey’s. One was called “Red-Headed” Sam, the other “Black-Headed" Sam. In their day. and way. they were noted and had many friends.. “Cap” Bailey, as he is called, is still living. And for years, was county com missioner. And he is perhaps as well posted in the status of the county and its citizens as any man in it. When Cap Bailey passes over into the beyond, he .will be missed. Then his worth to the county will be fully appreciated and gen erally admitted by all. But a kind word and a bouquet of flowers given to one while living, is worth more than a church full of them after he is dead. Try it on Cap, and sec, and also share the joy it wiil bring. W. A. Bailgy, “Aleck,” as he was called, was once the best known man in the county. His name was a household word. More children were named for' him than for any other one man in the county, That was in the eighties, when he, more than any dozen men, revolutionized the county, politically, changing it from a De mocratic, to a Republican county. He en tered politics by running, against C. C. Sanford for sheriff. Sanford was elected oy from 3 to 500 majority. Bailey at once declared himself a candidate for sheriff two years hence, and began the canvass. During the two years he visited nearly every home in the county. The result was. Bailey not only .defeated Spnford 3 to 500, but the whole Republican ticket —for the first time in the - county—was elected. And the county ,has been Re publican ever since. And Aleck Bailey, did it From that day to his death, he stood high in tue councils of his party— not only in the coiinty. but in that of tbe State and Nation. He served his county two or .three terms as sheriff, and once as a member of the General Assembly. He never lost his grip on the folks, nor the folks their confidence in him. His pass ing over the river was a great loss to the county. He was clever, kind and, to the worthy, a great help in time of need. We must mention Uncle BraxtonBaiIey. Hundreds of good old fathers and moth ers would turn over in their graves if we didn’t. He was their adviser, counselor and friend.

Mr. Editor:—Please allow little space in your columns to sug gest a progressive ticket for Mocks ville—a ticket composed of men who will do something for the town if nominated. Read and digest the following: wanted to kdow anything or to transact any legal business, they always went to him as a child would its father. And he was never too busy to hear, and to help them. He was in this and many ways a general benefactor to the county. His mission in the county was to serve, and he was faithful to the end. And if any man is entitled to a rich reward for -ser vice rendered, it is Braxton Bailey. He had one brother. Uncle Wiley, as we call ed him. He was a farmer, and a good neighbor and friend. Braxton had two sons—Will, a merchant, and Tom, a law yer. Thomas B. Bailey, like his father, was an honor and a blessing to his ’ county, and to his State. He was not only a good lawyer, but a friend to, and a leader in everything for the uplift of the county and State: a special friend to education. As long as time lasts. the came of Thom as B. Bailey will shine forth in history as “blessed," thus leaving to the county a legacy worth ten-fold more than that of wealth or political fame. And oh, how we do miss you, “Tom." Why a man Jikeyoushould be called hence in the prime of life, nothing but Divine wisdom can understand. But we will all know some glad day, and it won’t be long. There was one Kelly family. When we knew first of them, it was the “Widow Kelly.” She lived in the edge of 'Mocks ville, on the Mocksville and Salisbury road—called then. Her sons, as we re member, were William. James, Albert and Thomas. We do not remember her daugh ter’s name. William Kelly was in the Confederate war, and. was Captain of the “Davie Sweep-Stakes" company, one of the best and most noted companies that ever left the county. He was a good offi cer and a brave soldier; and after the war he devoted his life to farming. James Kelly was a good, useful and public-spiri ted citizen. For years, he lived in town, and held the office of county commission er and other positions of trust. He finally moved to bis large fann hear Cooieemee Junction. Loter he returned to Mocks ville and was in the hotel business when me j he died. He was a conservative man, safe and sound on all matters pertaining to the public good. Thomas Kelly was. the youngest son, He and his brother Albert are still living in Mocksville. They, too, were good citizens, who have honored their county by righteousness. They and the other brothers are due a more extend ed by the six and seventh grades. Lunches and ice cream will be serv ed by the Philathea class. A cqrdial welcome is extended to all. . Mrs. D. S.

De Spain has killed two of the gang and has been seriously wounded. Pretty Nan Mnrgnn, niece of the gang leader, and De Spain are secretly in love. When her uncle And this out he takes steps to marry her to Gale Morgan, a cousin, who is a bad man in every way. CHAPTER XiX-Continued. -13- ‘•No," retorted De Spain good-na- !urwily, "it’s not fair. And some day, .Duke, you'll be the first to say so. Tou won’t shake hands with me now, I fcmv. so I’ll go. But the day will come when you will.” He covered his revolver with his left liand. and replaced it under his ,coat. The fat man who had been leaning pa tiently against a barber’s chair ten fe<>t from the disputants, stepped for ward again lightly as a cat. “Henry,” he exclaimed, in a low but urgent tone, Iiis hand extended, “just a minute. There's a long-distance telephone call on the wire for yon.” He pointed to the office door. “Take the first booth, A He Covered His Revolver With His Left Hand. Henry. Hello, Duke,” he added, greet ing Morgan with an extended hand, as De Spain walked back. “How are you making it, old man?” Duke Morgan grunted. “Sorry to interrupt your talk,” con tinued Lefever. “But the barns at Calabasas are burning—telephone wires from there cut, too—they hud pick up the Thief River trunk line to get a message through. Makes it bad, doesn’t it?” Lefever pulled a wry face. “Duke, there’s somebody yet around Calabasas that needs hanging, isn't there? Yes.” CHAPTER XX. Gale Persists. - When within an hour De Spain joined Nan, tense with suspense and anxiety, at the hospital, she tried hard to read his news in his face. “Have you seen him?” she asked eagerly. De Spain nodded. “What does he say?" “Nothing very reasonable.” Her face fell. “I knew he wouldn’t. Tell me all about it, Henry—every thing.” She listened keenly to each word. De Spain gave her a pretty accurate re cital of the interview, and Nan’s appre hension grew with her hearing of it. “I knew it,” she repeated with' con viction. “I know him better than you Uuow him. What shall w do?” De Spain took both her hands. He held them against his breast and stood looking into her eyes. When he 're garded her in such a way ■ her doubts and fears seemed mean and trivial. He spoke only one word, but there was a world of confidence In his tone: “Stick.” She arched her brows as she re turned his gaze, and with a little trou bled laugh drew closer. “Stick, Nan,” !‘f repeated. “It will come out all right.” . She paused a moment. “How can you know?” “I know because it’s got to. I talked It all over with my best friend in Medi a e Bend, the other day.” , ""’ho, Henry?” ‘‘Whispering Smith.

Vnd JJe said if alii ithe' marriages opposed bJ old folks had been rStopped1; there. 1 01! P 5 H HOiv to bilk the cows," . “Henry, what is this report about the Calabasas barns burning?" “The old Number One barn is gone and some of, the old stages. We didn’t lose any horses, and the other barns are all right. Some of our Calabasas or gap friends, probably. No matter, we’ll get them all rounded up after a while, Nan. Then, some fine day, we’re going to get married.” De Spain rode that night to Cala basas to look into the story of the fire. McAlpin, swathed in bandages, made no bones about accusing the common enemy. No witnesses could be found to throw any more light on the Inquiry than the barn boss himself. And De Spain made only a pretense of a formal Investigation. If he had had , any doubts about the origin of the fire they would have been resolved by an anony mous scrawl, sent through the mail, promising more if he didn’t get out of the country, But instead of getting out of the country, De Spain continued as a mat ter of energetic policy to get into it. He rode the deserts stripped, so to say, for action and walked the streets of Sleepy Cat welcoming every chance to meet men from Music mountain or the sinks. It was on Nan that the real hardships of the situation fell, and Nan who had to bear them alone and almost unaided. Duke came home a day or two later without a word for Nan concerning his encounter with De Spain. He was shorter in the grain than ever, crustier to everyone than she had ever known him—and toward Nan herself fiercely resentful. Sassoon was in his com pany a great deal, and Nan knew of old that Sassoon was a bad symptom. Gale, too, came often, and the .three were much together. In some way, Nan felt that she herself was in part the subject of their talks, but no infor mation concerning them could she ever get. One morning she sat on the porch sewing when Gale rode up. He asked for her uncle. Bonita Wtf him Duke had gone to Calabasas. Gale an nounced he was bound for Calabasas himself, and dismounted near Nan. professedly to cinch his saddle. He fussed with the straps for a minute, trying to engage Nan In the Interval, without success, in conversation. “Look here, Nan,” he said at length, studious ly amiable, “don’t you think you’re pretty hard on me, lately?” “No, I don’t,” she answered. “If Uncle Duke didn’t make me, I’d never look at you, or speak to you—or live in the same mountains with you.” “I don’t think when a fellow cares for you as much as I do, and gets out of patience once in a while, just be cause he loves a girl the way a red- blooded man can’t help loving her, she ought , to hold it against him forever. Think she ought to. Nan?” he demand ed after a pause. Site was sewing and kept silence. “I think,” she responded, showing her aversion in every syllable, “before a man begins to talk red-blood rot, he ought to find out whether the girl cares for him, or just loathes the sight of him.” He regarded her fixedly. Paying no attention to him, but bending in the sunshine over her sewing, her hand fly ing with the needle, her masses of brown hair sweeping back around her pink ears and curling in stray ringlets that the wind danced with while she worked, she inflamed her brawny cous in’s ardor' afresh. "You used to care for mev Nan. You can’t deny that.” Her silence was irritating. “Can you?” he demanded. “Come, put up your work and talk it out I didn’t use to have to coax you for a word and a smile. What’s come over you?” “Nothing has come over me, Gale. I did use to like you—when I first came back from school. You seemed so big and fine then, and were so nice to me. I did like you.’* “Why didn’t you keep on liking me?” Nan made no answer. Her cousin persisted. “You used to talk about thinking the world of me,” she said at last; “then I saw you one Frontier day, riding around Slgepy Cat with a car riage full of women.” . Gale burst into a huge laugh. Nan’s face flushed. She bent over her work, j “Oh, that's what’s the matter with you, j Is It?” he demanded jocularly, “You i never'mentioned that before.” • 1 wS U k Jen'* the only thltig," -she con tinued after a pause. , : “Why, that was just some-Frostier day fun, Nan. • A man’s gdt: to be a“lit- tle bit of a sport once in a while, hasn’t he?” * “Not if he likes me.” She spoke with an ominous distinctness, but under her breath. He caught her words’ arid laughed again. “Pshaw, I didn’t think you’d get jealous over a little thing like that, Nan. When there’s a cele bration on in town, everybody’s friend ly with everybody else. If you lay a little thing like that up against me, where would the rest of the men get Off?-. Your strawberry-faced Medicine Bend friend is celebrating In town most of the time.” ■ Her face turned white. "What a- falsehood!" she exclaimed hotly. Look ing at her, satisfied, he laughed whole heartedly again. She rose, furious. “It’s a falsehood,” she repeated, “and I know it.” “I suppose,” retorted Gale, regarding her jocosely, “you asked him about it.” He had never seen her so angry. She stamped her foot. “How dare you say such a thing! One of those women was at the hospital-r-she is there yet, and she is going to die there. She told Uncle Duke’s nurse the men they knew, and whom they didn’t know, at that place. And Henry de Spain, when he heard this miserable creature had been taken to the hospital, and i)octor Torpy said she could never get well, told the sister to take care of her andsend the bills to him, because lie knew her father and mother In Medicine Bend and went to school with her there when she was a decent girl. Go and hear what she has to say about IIenry de Spain, you contemptible falsifier.” Gale laughed sardonically. “That’s right. I like to see a girl stick to her friends. De Spain ought to take care of her. Good story.” “And she has other good stories, too, you ought to hear,” continued Nan un dismayed. “Most of them about- you and your fine friends in town. She told the nurse it’s you who ought to be pay ing her bills till she dies.” Gale made a disclaiming face and a deprecating gesture. “No, no, Nan— let De Spain take care of his own. Be a sport yourself, girlie, right now." He stepped nearer her. Nan retreated. ‘Kiss and make up,” he exclaimed with a laugh. But she knew he was angry, and knew what to guard against. Still laughing, he sprang toward her and tried to catch her arm. “Don’t touch me!” she cried, jump- I away with her hand in her blouse. “You little vixen," he exclaimed with an oath, “what have you got there?” But he halted at her gesture, and Nan, panting, stood her ground. “Keep away!” she cried. “Where did you get that knife?” thundered Gale. “From one who showed me how to use it on a coward!” He affected amusement and tried to pass the incident off as a joke. But his dissimulation was more dangerous, she knew, than his brutality, and he left her the prey to more than one alarm and the renewed resolve never to be taken off her guard. That night lie came back, He told her uncle, glancing admiringly at Nan as he re counted the story, how she had stood her ground against him in the inorn- ing. Nor-did Nan like the way her uncle acted while he listened—and after ward. He talked a good deal about Gale and the way she was treating her cousin. When Nan declared she never would have anything to do with him, her uncle told her with disconcert ing bluntness to get- all that out of her head, for she was going to marry him. When she protested she never would, Diike told her, with many harsh oaths, that she' should never marry De Spain even if he had to kill him. or get killed tc stop it, and that if she had any sense she would get ready to marry her cousin peaceably, adding, that if she didn’t have sense, he would see lilmself It was provided for her. His threats left Nan aghast. For two days she thought them all over. Then ing “Keep Away!" She C<*ied. slie dressed to go to town. On her way to the barn her uncle intercepted her. “Where you going?” “To Sleepy Cat,” returned Nan, re garding him, collectedly. “No, you’re not,” he announced bluntly. Nan looked at him in silence. ' “I don’t want you running to town any more to meet De Spain,” added Duke, without any attempt to soften his in junction. ; -“But-Pvei got. to go. to town once in a' while, whether -I' meet Henry de Spain or not, Uncle Duke;’’ “What do you have to go for?” “Why, for mail, supplies—every thing.” “Pardaloe can attend to all that.” Nan shook her head. “Whether he can or not, I’m not going to be cut off from going to Sleepy Cat, Uncle Duke —nor from seeing Henry de Spain.” “Meaning to say you won’t obey, eh?” “When Tm going to marry a man it isn’t right to forbid me seeing him.” “Xou’re not going to marry him; you’re going to marry Gale, and the quicker you make up your mind to it the better.” “You might better tell me I am going to marry Bull Page-I would marry him first. I will never marry Gale Morgan in the living world, and Tve told you so more than once.” He regarded his niece a moment wrathfully and, without replying, walked back to the house. Nan, 1Upset but resolute, went on to the barn and asked Pardaloe" to saddle her .pony. Pardaloe shuffled around in an obliging way, but at the end of. some evasion admitted he had orders not to do it Nan flamed at the information. She disliked Pardaloe anyway, not for any reason she could assign beyond the fact that he had once been a chum of Gale’s. But she was too high-spirited to dispute with him, and returned' to the house pink with indignation. Go ing straight to her uncle, she protested piust a ll tpaj, Dub ms in- sensible alike to her pleas and her threats. But next morning Nan was up at three o’clock. She made her way into the barn before a soul was stirring. and at daybreak was well on her way to Sleepy Cat. She telephoned to De Spain’s otlice from the hospital and went to breakfast. De Spain joined her before she had finished, and when they left the dining room she explained why she had disappointed him the day before. He heard the story with mis givings. ‘TH tell you how it looks to me. Nan,” he said when she had done. “You are like a person that’s being bound tighter every day by invisible cords. You don’t see them because you are fearless. You are too fearless, Nan,” he added, with apprehension re flected in the expression of his face. “I’ll tell you what I wish you’d do, and I say it knowing you won’t dp it,” he concluded, She made light of his fears, twisting his right hand till it was helpless in her two hands and laughing at him. “How do you know I won’t do it?” “Because I’ve asked you before. This is it: Marry me, now, here, today, and don’t take any more chances out there.” “But, Henry,” protested Nan, “I can’t marry you now and just run away from poor Uncle Duke. If you will just be patient, I'll bring him around to our side.” “Never, Nan.” “Don’t be so sure. I know him bet ter than you do, and when he comes for anybody, he comes all at once. Why, it’s funny Henry. Now that I’m picking up courage, you’re losing it!” He shook his head, "I don't like the way things are going.” “Dearie,” she urged, “should I be any safer at home if I were your wife, than I am as your sweetheart. I don’t want to start a horrible family war by run ning away, and that is just what I cer tainly should do.” De Spain was unconvinced. But ap prehension is short-lived In young hearts. The sun shone, the sky spread a speckless blue over desert and moun tain, the day went to their castles and dreams. In a retired corner of the cool dining room at the Mountain house, they lingered together over a long-drawn-out dinner. The better-in- formed guests by asides indicated their presence to others. They described them as the hardy couple who had first met in a stiff Frontier day rifle match,' which the girl had won. Her defeated rival—the man now most regarded and feared in the mountain country—was the man with the reticent mouth, mild eyes, curious birthmark, and with the two little, perplexed wrinkles visible most of the time just between his dark eyebrows, the man listening intently to every syllable that fell from the lips of the trimly, bloused, active girl oppo site him, leaning forward in her .eager ness to tell him things. Her jacket hung over the back of her chair, and she herself was referred to by the more fanciful as queen of the-outlaw camp at Music mountain. The two were seen together that day about town by many; for the story of their courtship was still veiled in mys tery and afforded ' ground for the widest speculation, while that of their difficulties, arid such particulars as De Spain’s fruitless efforts to conciliate Duke Morgan and Duke’s open threats against De Spain’s life were widely known. All these details made the movement and the fate of the young couple the object of \ keenly curious comment. In the late afternoon the two rode almost the whole length of Main street together on their way to the river bridge. Everyone knew the horseflesh they bestrode—none cleaner-limbed, hardier or faster in the high country. Those that watched them amble slow ly past, laughing and talking, intent only on each other, erect, poised and motionless, as if molded to their sad dles, often spoke of having seen Nan and her lover that day. It was a long time before they were seen riding down Main street together again. could get Srrray. She hopid, she told him, to bring good news. De Spalri arranged his business to wait at ChIa- basas for her,. and was there, after two days, doing little but waiting and listening to McAlpm’s stories about the fire and surmises as to strange men that lurked in and about the place. But De Spain, knowing Jeffries was making an Independent investi gation into the affair, gave no heed to McAlpin’s suspicions. To get away from the barn boss, De Spain took refuge in riding. The sea son was drawing on toward winter, and rain clouds drifting at intervals down from the mountains made the saddle a less dependable escape from the monotony of Calabasas. Several days passed with no sight of Nan and no word from her. De Spain, as the hours and days went by, scanned the horizon with increasing solicitude. When he woke on the sixth morning, he was resolved to send a scout Into the gap to learn what he could of tue situation. The long silence, De Spain knew, portended nothing good. He sent to the stable for Bull Page. The shambling barnman, summoned gruffly by McAlpin, hesitated as he ap- I W hy T h ai L am e B ack ?

They parted that evening under the shadow of Music mountain, agreed to meet in Calabasas just as soon.as Naa He Looked at De Spain Tentatively. peared at the office door and seemed to regard the situation with suspicion. He looked at De Spain tentatively, as if ready either for the discharge with which he was “daily threatened or for a renewal of his earlier, friendly rela tions with the man who had been queer enough to make a place for him. De Spain set Bull down before him in the stuffy little office. - "Bull,” he began with apparent frankness, “I want to- know how you like your job.” Wiping his mouth guardedly with his hand to play for time and as an introduction to a carefully worded re ply, Bull parried. “Mr. de Spain, I want to ask you just one question.” "Go ahead. Bull.” Bull plunged promptly into the sus picion uppermost in his mind. "Has that slat-eyed, flat-headed, sun-sapped sneaK of a Scotchman been complain ing of my work? That, Mr. de Spain,” emphasized Bull, leaning forward, “is what I want to know first—is it a fair question?” “Bull,” returned De Spain with corresponding and ceremonial empha sis, “it is a fair question between man and man. I admit it; it is a fair ques tion. And I answer, no, Bull. McAl- pln has had nothing cn the face of the desert to do with my sending for you. And I add this because I know you want to hear it: lie says he couldn’t complain of your work, be cause you never do any.” "That man,” persisted Bull, re enforced by the hearty tone and not j clearly catching the drift of the very last words, “drinks more liquor than I do ” “He must be some tank. Bull.” “And I don’t hide it, Mr. de Spain.” “You’d have to crawl under Music mountain to do that. Wiat I want to know is, do you like your job?” On this point it was impossible to get an expression from Bull. He felt convinced that De Spain was press ing for an answer only as a prelimi nary to his discharge. “No matter," interposed the latter, cutting Bull’s rumblings short, “drop it, Bull. I want you to do something for me, and I’ll pay for it.” Bull, with a palsied smile and a deep, quavering note of gratitude, put up his shaky hand. “Say what. That's all. I’ve been paid." “You know you’re a sot, Bull.” Bull nodded. “I know it” “A disgrace to the Maker whose image you were made In.” Bull started, but seemed, on reflec tion, to consider this a point on which he need not commit himself. “Still, I believe there’s a man in you yet. Something, rft any rate, you couldn’t completely kill with whisky, Bull—what?” I gently on the liver. Cure Biliousness, Head ache, Dizzi> ness, and Indigestion. They do their duty.

Mr. Neverwed—Does your wife treat you the same as she did before you were married? Mr. Peck—Not exactly. Before we were married when I displeased her she refused to speak to me.

As to this, Judge Manning holds that under the general practice of the courts the last in order controls and therefore,-rulds that the State Board' of Health has this, supervision and the State Prison Board has nothing at all to do with I these county and municipal convict 1 camps and jails. I ________ DISPATCHES FROM RJiLEIEH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo- pie, Gathered fAround the State Capital. Raleigh.—Under a comprehensive ruling, construing the new act regulat ing the state and county convict sys tems, known as the Turner Prison Reform Act,’ Attorney General J. S. Manning holds that, except for con tracts that were- in force at the time the act was ratified, there can be no more hiring out of convicts to any persons, firms, associations or corpora tions by the Prison Board of Directors, except to the state, public institution owned, managed or controlled by the state or to a county in the state. Ke holds that a subsequent section pre scribing not over nine hours’ work when convicts are' hired out to "per sons, firms or corporations” does not change that prohibition as to hiring out, but only applies to contracts that were in force when the act was passed. The Attorney General rules that under the law, in addition to the per diem allowances to the three classes of prisoners—10 cents, 5 cents and 2 cents, respectively, for the benefit of the dependent families, the Gover nor and Prison Board are merely au thorized to cast up the accounts of the prison as to net earnings at the close of the fiscal year and allot to dependent families of convicts" any additional allowance from those earn ings they may in their discretion deem •wise. And if there is no dependent family In relation to any convict he cannot share in this allotment. Fur thermore, the third, or incorrigible class of prisoners cannot benefit by the 2 cents a day allowance except for dependent families. Section 10 of the act provides that the State Prison Board and the 'State Board of Health shall have joint su pervision and control o£ county con vict camps and county and city jails, and then Section 11 provides that the State Board of Health alone shall Name Building Commission Soon. It is expected that Governor Bick- ett will within the next few days an nounce the appointment of the mem bers of the state building comm it sion that is to supervise the construc tion of all new tuildings that the state j institutions are to have under the j act appropriation $3,000,000 for this ’ purpose to be expended in annual in stallments for the next five years. Authorities ,of the State University, State College of Agriculture and En- , gineering and numbers of others have 'already Cont-^ed with the Governor as to the appc-..ment of the commission and as to what part the institution authorities will have In this building work, all being anxious to get under way the building they are to have this year with the least possible delay. They have been given to understand that they can proceed to have plans of buildings prepared and adopt them subject to the approval of the Build ing Commission but that the award of contracts and actual construction must be directly under the supervis ion of the Building Commission. One institution was in the act of advertis ing for bids on a $50,000 dormitory building a few days ago when the president tQok a second look at the appropriation and bond issued and consulted Governor Bickett with the result that 'this proceeding was held j up to await the appointment of the State Building Commission. New Appointments Announced. Transfers and new appointments an nounced by the Adjutant General of the N orth.. Carolina National Guard completes the organization of the state administrative staff of the North Carolina National Guard, which is now reported to the W ar Department as available for immediate service, and is in consequence of urgent inquiries recently made by the W ar Department as to status and availability of the North Carolina Guard. Under this organization, Major It. T. Daniel is transferred' from the Quartermasters’ Corps to the Adju tant General’s Department: Captain J. S. Peytress, of Henderson, is ap pointed. Major In the Quartermasters’ Department; Major S. Glenn Brown, heretofore Inspector of Sinall Arms, B appointed Judge Advocate; E. A. Blanton, Raleigh, is made Captain in the Quartermaster’s Corps; J. O. Dur ham is appointed to a captaincy in the Ordinance Department. lea being sent out to every bank presi dent asking that the bankers talk “Planting Day” to their farmer pat rons. These are the ipeans that the Governor has adopted to spread inter est in the observance of the day. He is receiving assurances of co-opera tion and approval from every section of the state. . Issue Many Insurance Licenses. There are 16,000 licenses for insur ance companies and their general, spe cial and local agents to be gotten out by the State Department of Insurance as of April I and the entire office force of the Department is now on this job.- April I being the opening of the new “insurance year” for the state. Farmers Buy High Price Cattle. ■ Interest in good, pure-bred cattle continues in North Carolina in spite of the high price of feeds. Recently five men accompanied Mr. L. I. Case, of the Office of Beef Cattle Peld Work, to the East - Tennessee Shorthorn Breeders’ Sale at Knoxville, Tenn., and brought back 13 of the best animals in , the show. These men proved to the satisfaction of the Tennessee farmers, anyway, that they were there for the best on hand and they got them, one man, Mr. R. C. Hunter,. of East La- porte, Jackson county, paying $355 for one pure-bred cow. Want Return of Farm. The Roper Lumber Company has made formal demand upon the state Board of Agriculture for the return of the 200-acre black.land farm given the Department of Agriculture two years ago for test and demonstration farm purposes, the contention being that the farm is being operated in such way as to be a detriment instead of a benefit to the promoters of the settlement and cultivation of the drained black lands in the midst of which the farm is located. The trou ble grows out of the fact that Direc tor B. W. Kilgore has insisted on ap plication of two tons of agricultural lime to the acre before cultivation as essential on account of sourness of the soil. Those exploiting the black lands insist that this lime treatment is not needed and that for years to come no fertilization or special chem ical treatment of any sort will be nec essary. ' North Carolina Naval Reserves. There is every indication that the North Carolina Naval Reserves will be mobilized in connection with.the war preparations, which the government is pressing with all possible dispatch. Governor’s Proclamation Mailed. There has been thousands of copies of the proclamation by Governor Bickett calling for the observance of “Planting Day,” April 5, throughout the state. He is sending copies U> every chairman of a County Farmers’ Union in the state, asking them to have the county and the local unions take action,; a copy to the mayor of every town, asking that they set about having the people to cultivate all va cant lots and copies to all the county school superintendents with the spe cial request that the teachers in the ccunties read the proclamation to their schools and stir interest in gen eral observance. Also, there are cop- New Enterprises Get Charters. A charter was issued for the Tobac co Warehouse Company, of Carthage, capital $50,000 authorized and $2,500 subscribed by L. B. Clegg, S. H.

OTHERS HELD FOR SERVICE Second Infantry and Companies A. and B. Engineers Will Be 1AeId For Probable Police Duty. Raleigh.—Within an hour after all the organizations of the Third North Carolina Infantry, National Guard, ex cept the supply company, had been mustered out of Federal service at Camp Bickett, orders were received from the W ar Department to suspend demobilization. It was too late to af fect this regiment, but in consequence of the order the Second Infantry, or dered into camp at Camp Royster, Goldsboro, and brigade headquarters ordered to Raleigh, will be held there under arms, as will Companies A and B,. engineers, now at Charlotte and Wilmington. Troops A and B. cavalry, Asheville and Lincolnton; Field Hos pital No. I. Asheville and Ambulance Company No. I, Canton, have already been mustered out. Brigade headquarters', including General Laurence Young, and staff, were previously ordered to Raleigh for muster out. It is believed that, under this order, headquarters. will proceed to Raleigh to await-muster out or fur ther service. In view of the orders given National Guard organizations- in other states, it is expected that the North Carolina troops held in the service will be used, if necessary, for duties' in the state.'- The supply company, with much property work to complete, will con tinue in camp here for several days.. In the meanwhile, no orders have been received calling the demobilized regi ment back into the service, and while many of the officers, apparently are expecting this, no comment was made at the office of the Adjutant General. The men of the Third shewed pleas ure in their release, now being enabled to visit their homes, many of thfjm for the first time in nine months. Rous ing welcomes are in store for practi cally all of the companies at their home stations. But while this is , is declared that little difficulty wy?’Jr encountered in getting the men m ilized again, if the call comes. The few days spent at Camp BicVat,. were delightful compare! to the s-ctnrma tVio ATAdecivo nni,i .th« !0fl»| storms, the excessive, cold of nights In Texas. Lieutenant Co Claud McGhee expressing the tha-' of Colonel Minn and the regiment the courtesies shown by Raiei0V said' s“ “In coming to Raleigh we felt that we were coming home and in our 4 rival here we found that we were at home. “Particularly do we wish to thank the management of the State Fii grounds for the use of their buil<iin„I and grounds, and for the assistance given us and the manner in vrh!-h they worked for our comfort. “W e.also w ist to thank the manage, ment of the Rex Hospital for the cellent attention and medical aid =>ivl en our sick. “We regret very much that we have not shown our appreciation by field ercises and parades but we have so busy with detailed work that it has been impossible for us to do so.” Asheville Adopts Belgian Babies. Asheville —That Asheville is th'-.r- oughly aroused on the subject of ,'.r. ing for Belgian babies is indicated ay the fact that the committee. v.-h:.-h started out to “adopt” 500 of the V4lt..,, sters, is now planning to tare :'or 1,000 babies.

Jackson, a prominent citizen of Salisbury and large farmer. So many people sr* gardening this year who have never gardened before that Mr. Jackson fears many perfectly good potatoes are going to be wasted. “Plant only the eyes of the potato and eat ;h» rest of it,” says Mr. Jackson. Thii is,- of course, no. new doctrine, potato, raisers knowing all along that this is the way to do it. Four people were drowned in the. Catawba river, below Morganton and near the Huffman crossing when a small row boat containing five peoplt, capsized in the high waters.

An act to encourage .road building In North Carolina by state’s aid. This act provides for the creation by the state of a semi-annual road fund of $400,000, which shall be loan ed to the counties applying therefor upon compliance with the provisions of this act, which requires: I. That petition signed by 25 per cent of thc^ qualified voters ' of any county shall be presented to the board' of county commissioners, asking for »n election to be held on the second T uesday in April or October of that year, and stating in such petition the amount of money it is intended to borrow. For such election a new reg istration is required. If a majority of the registered voters vote in favor of borrowing money under this act,' the county commisioners are authorized and directed to execute to the State of North Carolina a bond for the amount so voted, payable 41 years from date and bearing 5 per cent in terest per annum. At the end of said fortjr-one years the county is discharg ed from further payment on said bond. In order to provide the road fund herein required, the State Treas urer is authorized and directed to is sue state bonds which shall bear not exceeding 4 per cent interest, and the proceeds therefrom shall be loaned as herein directed. From the income of 5 per cent received semi-annually, the State Treasurerishall pay the 4 per cent interest on such state bonds and apply the surplus I per cent to the road fund to be raised for the follow ing six months, and the bond issue for the following term shall be reduc ed by the amount of such surplus.

Plans Company of Home Guards. Greensboro.—C. M. Vanstory, of this city, has begun discussion (Jf organ izing a company of Home Guards, to include men 45 years of age and older. Several have offered to become mem bers, including many Confederate vet erans. The first man on Mr. Van- story’s list is J. H. Rankin, who is sgid to be nearly 100 years old, and a veteran of the Civil War. ’ On account of the act of Congress preventing the organization of any armed group of men in time of peace except Govern ment military forces, actual work on the organization can not be done until there is some declaration of war. As soon as war is declared, the ban will be lifted and Mr. Vanstory expects then to enroll as many as 200 men. I H It It Dtclded That Full Names Must- Be Returned By the College. *\ 1 Raleigh.—"The last word” was spok en by Governor Bickett, as to the mucla and furiously discussed name abbre- viation for the North Carolina Statsr College of Agriculture and Engineer ing, erstwhile known as “A. and M.”‘ Officers of the State Farmers’ Union,. Editor Poe, of The Progressive Farm er; President Riddick, or the College,. and members of the Alumni Associa tion, composed the conference with- the Governor. The Governor’s statement declares-' that “after a full conference it was the unanimous sense of the meeting; that whenever the college is referred to in the literature sent out from the- college, or in the press of the state, it should be called the State College o f Agriculture and Engineering or tha- -igricultural and Engineering College, It was the further sense of the meet ing that these full names should be- used and not the intials. It is to be hoped that ail good citizens and friends of the college will take due and timely notice of the agreement above referred to and govern them selves accordingly.” The Governor and Council of State purchased a lot on which to erect a fireproof warehouse for state records Gas From Chestnut.

They built the Range of Malleable Iron—BECAUSE MALLEABLE IRON WOULD STAND THE WEAR AND TEAR. OF YEARS-OF SERVICE. As the’Xnother watches her baby grow into boyhood—develop in body and mind—into man hood—as she unceasingly encourages him in the right direction—so these MASTER RANGE BUILDERS followed their child—the MALLEABLE RANGE. Year after year they have watched it. Year afteryear they have studied it—adding a convenience here —shaping an improvment there—ever building to make your cooking, your baking, your kitchen more complete. TODAYTHERANGEETERNALisaMASTERPIECE OF STRENGTH—OF SERVICE—OF CON-^ sVe NIENCE-a range that reflects two generations of unceasing enthusiasm and labor by the best minds in.r the range building business. \ <r Some manufacturers issue highly lithographed guarantees upon ranges—BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A JOKER IN THEM. The BEST RECOMMENDATION is the OPINION OF PEOPLE WHO ARE USING IT. THE BEST TEST IS THE SERVICE IN THE KITCHEN. We know this—that the RANGE ETERNAL IS AN HONEST PRODUCT—through and through— that it will give HONEST SERVICE YEAR AFTER YEAR. We know that no Range is MORE CARE FULLY MADE—MORE COMPLTELY EQUIPPED—MORE DESIRABLE. In fact, we believe—and nan back up our belief with the recommendations of Range Users—that it is the BEST RANGE YOU CAN BUY.'

It is easy to see and understand why the RANGE ETERNAL is the BEST EANaE MADE today and if yon will come to see na we can prove to your satisfaction that this is true.

Girls! Beautify Ygcr Hair! Make' Soft, Fluffy and Luxuriant—Try the Moist Cloth. It YES! LIFT A CORN OFF WITHOUT PAIN! Try as you will, after an application of Danderine, you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most, will be after a few •weeks’ use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first—yes—but real ly new hair—growing all over the scalp. A little Danderine immediately dou bles the beauty of your hair. No differ ence how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is Im mediate and amazing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an Incom parable luster, softness and luxuri ance, the beauty and shimmer of true hair health. Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine from any store and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any—that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment—that’s all. Adv. Cincinnati man tells how to dry Up a corn or callus so it lifts off with fingers. 9 4 t 1 fJ You cora-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, • because a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching com cr callus, stops soreness at once and soon the com or hardened callus loosens so it can be lifted off, root and all, without pain. A small bottle of freezone costs very little at any drag store, but will posi tively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not -to Irri tate the surrounding skin. If your druggist hasn’t any freezone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house.—adv.

APRIL 11. 1917.NUMBER 39 DAVlE COUNTY 50 YEARS AGO. The Gaither And Brown FainiIiea —The People Who Lived Here in The Long Ago. AU one hears is war. Every feUow knows all about it. But no two agree. One says if war is declared, all able-bod ied men will have to go to Germany. An other says Gernaany will conquor Europe, and come right over and wipe us off the map. Anothersays the war in Europe has killed more people, and displayed, more brutality than all the wars, etc. The reason Is, these nations are civilized and can do in one day what it used to take months and even years. The , war be tween England and France lasted 100 years. They could do that foolish little stunt now in two or four years. The war in Germany between the Protestants and Catholics lasted 30 years. The Protest- unts won and gave the world, to us relig ious freedom. There have been wars and rumors of wars for over four thousand years, and will be to the end of time, not withstanding we are told that “the world is getting better.” When nations get proud, rich and prosperous, they forget God, become idolatofs, worshipers of mon ey, pleasure and power. They thus be come envious and jealous !of each other, and dog-like, fall out and fight. America is getting prepared for such foolishness. Sin causes all wars. Often God permits nations to thus punish each other for their sins, and sometimes God does it, or has it done. Because of sin, God burned Sodom and drowned the world—men, wo men and children—except Lot and wife, Noah and his family. Because of sin, God permitted Titus to totally destroy the City of Jerusalem. It is said Titus killed everybody except the sick, the lame and the halt, and he left them to perish. Wliy, England, our mother country, once not on ly sent an army of foreign mercenaries over here to complete the works of death, desolation and tyrrany ansfcruelty of the most barbarious ages,1 but actually tried to form an ally with the Indian savages, whose rule of warfare was the extermi nation of all ages, sexes and : conditions. So human nature and sin have always been and always will be the same. It is said "war is heIL^amLaaints < don’t pro-- ducehell. But excuse .Os. The Brown family that lived in Mocks- ville. deserve a more extended notice than we can do justice. We knew father Tom Brown. He was of the pure salt ;of earth, loved and respected by all who knew him. We remember only three of his children: Miss Mary, who married C. C.; Sanford, Kufus and Dr. Will Brown as he',was call ed. These two brothers were men of bus iness, and of model citizenship.! As we remember, they were tobacco /manufac turers, and fipally moved to ' Winston, where they, with many others/ from. Da vie, not only did well, but convinced that stirring city that Davie was a1 good coun ty to draw from. No county /or country, even, can boast of having (better men than Ruf and Bill Brown. Ttie world is better by their having lived ik it. ThentheGaitherfamily that lived in Mocksville proved an asset to the town and county that can’t be j estimated in dollars and cents. W hile/they were- of the best families, financially and educa tionally, yet their lives, ih the’, estimation of the people, were and are yet paramount to every other worth. Father Efird Gaith er was unassuming in serving his day and generation. His life was abbve reproach. We never heard a harmful wjord from him, or about him. As we remember he had six children. They were: lifisses ‘Janie, Sarah, Mary Ellen, Thomas, !Lemuel and T I . L ra _ ? .i a i % _ a M Ba a L Ia the Howards, the Spencers, ' the Ijames and many others. We can’t take up all these. ■ ,We atop here to say, however, that the first paper ever published in the county, and from which The Davie Re cord is a direct descendant, was called The Davie Times. It wa 9 started in 1881 by Messrs. E. W. Mooring and John M.. Blount. It was while they ran it, we first wrote, a line for a . paper. It would be funny to read some of the Jericho, dots— Rowan Ijames’ fat hogs, etc. In our next, will take up the schools, teachers, then in the county. That will give a brief notice of some good people. Then will follow an article or so on churches, preachers, etc. These subjects to our thinking, ought to be the most in teresting. J. F. CLICK. Hickory, N. C. • A Catawba Romance. A dispatch iu the daily paper from Newton, N. C., says that a- mODg the hunered of stories drawn from tradition relating to Catawbas pioneer, old Hernrich Weidner, who made his home in the Cat awba: wilderness about the middle of the Eighteenth Century, is one of the peculiar interest. It asserts that every child born of the true Weidner or Whitenen blood, at bfrth shows a red mark extending from the forelock to a point mid- Way between the eyebrows, which is declared to be a perpetual wit ness of the justice the old pioneer showed in dealing with the Indians and the Btory runs thus; After Whitener ha I made hi.s cabin home in the wilderness, the Cherokeee Indians took the war path and destroyed his norne, kill ing the husband and chlid of a neighbor. Whitner escaped with his family and the widowed wife, and went to South Carolina, where he stayed with a family of pioneers named Roberson, in what is now Lancaster. After arranging for his family, he went back to his Lisb Gaither, the lawyer, and an able, safe and good one. We were in school with him, and therefore Bawiin the' boy the traits of character it talees tomake man, and we are glad he islmaking good. When a boy, we thought/Dr. and Mrs. Frank Martin were the greatest people living. Why? We can’t say: 'We thought if there was any two people completely and happily matched, it was them. In a very high sense wp took them to'^be mod el citizens. They were lrind in theirhoine and open and frank in all their i|ealings. They had three daughters, as we remem ber: Mrs. Dr. Bell, Mrs. W. B. CJement and Mrs. Jamison. And they, too,^ were clever and kind in their homes. Tteesons were called Nat, Frank and John jKerr. We were in school with them. FKink is now living in Winston, Mrs. Jamison is in Mocksville, and Jotai is ini Vjir- fiinia. The Martin family was a credit I o ihecounty. Itisstrangethat while\ we lluve improved in every( other way, Iyct vfiIiave not bettered many of the. peifl ^bo lived 50 or more years a^o. Thi of it and see. ‘ • We can’t mention the families of Hendricks, Parnells, Griffins,fParkers,Cal and others who IiVed A '•ho in their way h e l p e d¥okbepfit abreast with other court house-town^., They, too, nerved their day- better thanj many of us do now with all of our boasted of advan tages. Then, in the county, we had the Williams’, the Johnsons, the Tatums, the Latons, the Frosts, the Holmans, the Bnoes, the Wagners, the Maxwells, the Wilsons, the Wiseman’s, the McCullo!^',^ some friendly Indians who respect ed him, they informed that the Cbeerokee were still thirsty for the blood of the pale face, and for him to go back to South Carolina. They agreed to keep him posted in this wise: As long as the couutry remaind unsafe for him, they would keep a white oak tree near the Whitener home, painted red. By this sign he Ieai nod from time to time that the Cnerokees were still on the warpath. The tree re mained red for two years. Tradition steps in, then, and say that each child of the true Whiten stock bears the red mark mention ed and has borne it ever since the time of the incident. This famous tree, in Whitner’s time but a smallaffair, still stands, now a mighty oak, at the old John Robinson homeplace, owned by John W. Robinson, Jr., head of Catawba creamery at Hickory. Nearby is yet to be seen the old rock foundation of the pioneer’s home, built so as to enclose a spring, to insure a water supply during Indian attacks. The farm is a part of the original tract clear ed and cultivated by the pioneer, and is one. of the choice old homes of Catawba county. Then Lets Get Busy. Speaking of the new laws and the proposed prison reform the Durham Hearld makes bold to say: The legislature has already passed a law which embraces many of the recomendations by the committee, but it remains to be seen whether the present adminstration, imbued as it is with the medieval idea of conducting a prison, can carry out the spirit by the new laws in manag ing the convict camps. Well, if it can’t enforce the laws, or if certain people who think that brutality and debasement are quite the thing, let us all get busy and get new men to run our prisons. Do not let us have it understood that because customs of the Dark Ages obtained that they must still obtain. Let us all, every man kindness in his soul, say what ought to happen, and when this is done it will happen. That we long have needed prison reform goes now without saying. The shocking pictures recently pre sented prove ^beyond all doubting that something must be done. The Legislature has helped some. Let the citizens of this State who are Christian gentlemen see that some thing is done. No matter about those now in authority. If not big enough and broad enough for the job, let’s get a man or set of men who will be big enough.—Every thing. Has Met And Adjourned Now that the Legislature has ad journed, the people of the State can breathe a sigh or reiief. That they would not set the woods afire with legislation1 of importance was well known before they met, and that they met, and that they would do nothing that would be of great ben efit to the people, was equally as well known. We would support a constitutional, amendment .that the^ le^latfirb^eerfdr^O'^l^s^ve^' ten years.

Forsyth Can Vote On A Dog Tax If People Desire. “Dog tax,” or “No dog tax” is now the question that any connty in the state that desires to can wrestle with. The legislature passed an act giving any county ia the state the right to vote on the dog taxing issue. The commissioners of any county upon petition of one-third of the votera, are required to call an elec tion and if a majority of the votes cast shall be in favor of dog tax, then the provisions of the act shall be in full force and effect over the whole of said county and the dog tax provided in the act shall be collected. The commissioners are authoriz ed to provide a new registration if the j so desire. The ballots are to be without device. The petition for the election must designate the amount of dog tax to be collected, which tax must not exceed the sufn of five dollars nor be less than one dollar for each dog. $100 REWARD, $100.

GREAT DAY FOR OLD DAVIL Thouaandt Attend Third County Comi mencement. 1 Saturday was one of the biggest days that Davie county has ever en joyed. The day was ideal, and the crowd began coming in early, and by 11 o’clock, the streets were lined with people. The parade started from the graded school building at 11 o’clock, and was nearly a mile in length. The Salisbury Band headed the parade. The floats were all worthy of mention, but Jamestown, Cooleemee, Farmington, ‘Mocksville, Greenwood, Liberty, Turrentineand Beauchamp’s, deserve special men tion. Thfere were 570 children m the parade. It is impossible for us to give the occasion justice. The exhibits by the children were good, and the recitations have been very highly complimented. In the after noon Hon. John H Clement, of-Win- ston Salem, an old Dav'e boy, deliv ered an educational address. The day passed off very pleasantly. The list of prizes and the winners appear below: Best exhibit from one teacher school, $5 from Merchants’.Gro. Co. Greenwood. Jericho won best exhibit from two teacher school.

To The Baracas aod Philatheas of Darie County. Dear Co-Workers—I desire to appeal to you in behalf at our State Convention to be held in Asheville May 17—20. To begin with tliis will to be a great convention. There are many reasons for this to be the best Scate Convention ever !'held, I wiU enumerate only a few. One reason is that we are out of our infancy and launched upon .a successful career. Successful because of the great things ac complished in the Sunday Schools of N.-C. Another is that we have overcome the little prejudice that was against us in the beginng. Aiid people have come to rec ognized the valne of the organized class. The third reason that I shall give is the fact that the convention will be held in Asheville the Beautiful Land of The Sky. A place that offers a great attraction - all the time. Many people who have long planed to go to Asheville some time will go now that thev can visit the world famous Summer Resort and attend the great Baraca Philathea Convention at the same time. I want to urge every class in the county that cen possibly do so to send delegates. Lets have a Box Supper. Give an iiiter- taimnent, or a play to make enough money to send at least one delegate. I am very anxious that Davie county have a I a show. We can groupe ourselves in the !parade and the picture with a large I Davie Couuty Banner to show our pres- j ence. You know our ujiion was the first county union organized in the world. We will go down in History as such. People ail over the State are watching us. Trying to catch up w:th or out grow us. They will be on the look out in Asheville to see if v/e live up to our reputation. If our number there shows that we posess the interest we assume. “Lets show 'em” will you? Let every class that can possib ly send a delegate, do so. Th« program will be of special interest. The social features are great. Free auto mobile rides over thecity will be conducted by the entertainment committee an Organ Rtcital wiU be given at Grove Park Inn the largest Summer resort in the world and a trip to the top of Mt. MitcheIL We Baracas and Philatheas of Davie county can n jj^& ^y to miss this con vention. . Let’s get busy now and make ovt plans to send one or more deligates to Asheville. Lets show:our colors.

Congress Declares That a State of War Exists. SENATE IS FIRST TO ACT Six Member* of Upper House Vote Against Resolution After Heated Debate—Representatives Adopt Measure by Overwhelm ing Majority. Washington, April 6 ,—Responding quickly to President Wilson’s stirring message and to the evident demand of the people of the United States, congress has formally declared that a state of war exists between this coun try and Germany, due to the hostile acts of the imperial government. The senate was the first to act on the war resolution and adopted it by a vote of 82 to 6 . The sis senators who voted against the resolution for war were: ASLE J. GRONNA, Republican, North Dakota. HARRY LANE, Democrat, Oregon. R. M. LA FOLLETTE, Republican, Wisconsin. G. W. NORRIS, Republican, Ne braska. WILLIAM J. STONE, Democrat, Missouri. J. K. VARDAMAN, Democrat, Mis sissippi. There were eight senators absent or paired. They were: Bankhead, Goff, Gore, Hollis, Newlands, Smith of Maryland; Thomas, anti Tillman. Of those absent it was announced that all except Senator Gore of Oklahoma would have voted for the resolution if present. All six of the senators who voted against the resolution were members of the group of twelve which • de feated the armed neutrality bill at the last session. There was no attempt to filibuster this time, however. Thirteen Hour Debate. . Thirteen hours, of:, heated debate preceded the vote. Party lines dis appeared in this discussion and Repub licans joined with Democrats in sound ing the call to the nation- to support the president unitedly. ?; H e little group opposed to the reso lution drew fire from every side. Sen ator La Follette, defending Germany and heaping blame upon England, was informed by Senator Williams that Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German chancellor, would have made the same speech In the reichstag had he been imbued with sufficient effrontery. Senator Norris, charging that the United States is going to war at the behest of the munition barons of Wall street, drew from Senator Reed the re tort that such an accusation is "al most treason.” The assertion that the nation was go ing to war on the demand of gold, he said, was “an Indictment of the presi dent. of the United States, an Indict ment of congress, of the American peo ple, and of the truth.” “The president Is not calling Amer ica to arms for the sake of a few paltry dollars,” Senator Reed contin ued, "but for the life, honor,' anti in tegrity of this country.” Introduced by Hitchcock. In Introducing the resolution into the senate, Senator Hitchcock made a brief statement In which he said that the present time was one “for action, I O t i M l O l l ' "The tim e for passed,” he said. “The president has stated clearly, effectively, more con clusively the reasons which make this grave step necessary. The resolution provides for war against the ImperlU ‘German government. It places re sponsibility for the war squarely upon the shoulders of the German govern ment, charged with repeated acts of war against the United States. , “We want no more territory. We will demand .no Indemnity. We have no grudge to settle, nor racial anti pathy. We will spend our treasure and' <me blood and sacrifice our lives without the thought of gain. “Such quarrel as we have with Ger many Is not of our choosing. It was forced 'noon us and we did much to avoid it. For nearly three years the president, congress, and the American people have hoped to avoid It. But one desperate act by the Imperial Ger man government has followed another.” German Pledges Broken. Senator HitchcocK was followed by Senator Swanson of Virginia, who said Uie German government “has repeat edly and grossly violated its treaty ob ligations to us, and wantonly broken solemn assurances.” “The issue is not peace or war,” Sen ator Swanson contained. “War has al ready been declared upon us. The Is sue is whether we shall accept war or abject and cowardly submission." Reciting the sinking of American ships, German plots, and outrages In this country, Senator Swanson said the Zimmermann plot to incite Mexico against this country “reaches the low est depths of national turpitude.” “We have long suspected a disposi tion by Germany to dispute the Monroe doctrine,” he added. “Now is the time to teach this mischief-making German government that our territorial sover eignty cannot be made a subject of war bargaining. “Wh'at else can Gemany do to wage war against us? When the war-made autocracy that now rules Germany has been chastened or overthrown, ties of friendship now severed will be reunit ed.” Many other senators took part In the debate, Gronna, Stone, Vardamah, Norris and LaFollette, all opposing the resolution. Senator Sinoot made the last speech —a short prayer that God would “hasten the day when liberty will be enjoyed by all the peoples of the earth.” The roll call was taken while the senators and spectators sat solemn. A few cheers greeted the result and then all filed quietly out of the chamber. ' House Vote, 373 to 50. (The house, after a debate lasting about seventeen hours, adopted the joint resolution by a vote of 373 to 50. Nearly a hundred representatives made speeches. In offering the senate resolution as a substitute for its own, the house for eign affairs committee submitted a long report reviewing the history of submarine warfare, and America’s fu tile protests against it, German In trigues and bomb plots In this country, the effort to ally Japan and Mexico against the United States and the mis treatment of American officials and citizens in Germany1 “It is with the deepest sense of re sponsibility for the momentous results which will follow the passage of this resolution,” said the report, “that your committee reports it to the house, with the recommendation that it be passed. “The conduct of the imperial Ger man government toward this govern ment, Its citizens and its interests, has been so discourteous, unjust, cruel, barbarous, and so lacking In honesty and practice that it has constituted a violation of the course of conduct which should obtain between friendly nations. "In addition to this the German gov ernment is actually making war upon the people and commerce of this coun try, and leaves no course -open to this government but to accept its gage of battle and declare that a state of war exists.” / ■ Flood Opens the Debate. Under the unanimous consent rule by which the resohition was considered Representative Flood could move the. previous question at any time after-one hour and, if sustained, bring the meas ure to a vote. He was disposed, how ever, to give members every opportu nity to speak throughout the day. The debate began without any limitation. . “War is being made upon our coun try and its people,” Representative Flood said in opening, .“Our ships are being sunk. Gur noncombatant citi zens, IncIuding men, women and chil dren, are being'murdered, our mer chantmen are denied the freedom of H ie M Ilierelsiioclioite as to M t to w . Weaie coliipelleilbytlieaeb of the German government to enter id- to this most Colossal war. "The time for argument has passed; the time for heroic action is here, and our people Will rally to the support of their government in this high and pa triotic hour and meet war’s sacrifices anti war’s perils as a. brave and patri otic people should. “We should take our stand by the side of . the allied nations who ' have been fighting humanity’s battles for two and one-half years, determined that our power shall be so employed that complete victory shall crown their efforts and that Prussian militarism shall be crushed and the world shall be delivered from the threat and danger of tlie Hohenzollern dynasty." FORMALLY DEGIiRES WAR Vote Was Unanimous.—Wild Cheer ing Follows Speeches of Leaders in House.—Her Duty to Follow Us. Havana.—Cuba, not yet out of her ’teens as a Republic, is at war with Germany, the first of the Latin-Amer- ican countries to range herself along side of the United States, her liberator an.I protector., - President Menocal affixed his signa ture to the joint resolution passed un-, animously by both the Senate and House Without a dissenting voice be ing raised, thus putting into effect the declaration that a state of war exists between Cuba and the Imperial Ger man Government. The joint committees appointed by the Senate and House agreed ,upon the phraseology of the resolution to be persented and the stage was set for quick action before either branch of Congress convened. “Article I—Resolved, that from to day a state of war is formallly de clared between the Republic of Cuba and the Imperial Government of Ger many, and the President of the Re public is authorized and directed by this resolution to employ all the forces of the Nation and the resources of our Government to • make war against the Imperial German Gov ernment with the object ot maintain ing our rights; -guarding our terri tory and providing for our security; prevent any acts which may be at tempted against us, and defend the navigation of the seas, the liberty of commerce and the rights of neutrals and international justice. “Article 2.—The President of the Republic is hereby authoribed to use all the land and naval forces Ik the form he may. deem necessary, using existing forces, reorganizing them or creating new ones, and to dispose of the economic forces of the Nation in any way he may deem necessary. "Article 3.—The President- will give account to Congress of the measures adopted in fulfillment of this law, which will be in operation from the moment of its publication in the of ficial gazette.” Vessels Seized. - Chief Inspector of the Port Panne notified Eusebio Azjiazu, Secretary to the President, that he had observed large volumes of smoke pouring from the funnel of the self-interned German ship Bavaria. Port police went aboard the ship and were informed by her commander, Captain Graafles, that he, in compliance with orders from his Government, had attempted to damage the machinery in order to render the ship useless; PRESIDENT SENDS REPLY ' TO POINCARE’S MESSAGE. Washington.—In response to ’Presi dent Poincare’s congratulations upon the entrance of the United States into the war, President Wilson sent this message; “In this trying hour when the desti nies of civilized mankind are in the balance, it has been a source ot grati fication and joy to me to receive your congratulations upon the step which my country has been constrained to take in opposition to the relentless pol icy and course of imperalistic Ger many. “It is very delightful to us that France, who stood shoulder to shoulder with us of the Western world in our struggle for independence, should now give us such a welcome into the lists of battle as upholders ot the freedom and rights of humanity. “We stand as partners of the noble democracies, whose aims and acts make for the perpetuation of the rights and freedom o£ man and for the safe guarding of the true principles of hu man liberties.

Washington. — Gratifying reports have been made to the Department of Justice from its agents in all parts of the country on the behavior of Ger mans and German-Americans following the decelaration of a state of war be tween the tWo nations. While about 100 special arrests have been ordered and others are expected, Attorney Gen eral Gregory Baid that so far the sit uation is very encouraging. WILL BE CHARGED WITH SUPPLY ING ARMY AND NAVY WITH MUNITIONS AND EQUIPMENT. Washington.—Creation of a general munitions board was announced by the Council of National Defense. .It will be headed by Frank A. Scott, a Cleve land manufacturer, and will be charg ed with supplying the army and navy with munitions and enquipment. One of its chief functions will be to decide between the country’s military and in dustrial needs. The board’s establishment puts into the hands of a group of army and navy officers and industrial leaders virtual ly the same task given the British minister of munitions. It creates ma chinery for a government department of munitions, with its head a Cabinet minister, if conduct of the war brings the need. Twenty men, fifteen of them army and navy officers make up the board. Besides Mr. Sco-tt, its civilian mem bers are Bernard M. Baruch, Howard E. Coifin, Julius Rosenwald and Dr. Franklin Martin. From the army there are Brig. Gen. Thomas Cruse, Col. F. G. Hodgson, Col. H. Fisher, Lieut. Col. J. E .. Hotter, Major J. E. Pierce, Maj. Charles Wallace and Capt. A. B. Parker and from the navy, Rear Admiral H. H. Rousseau, Rear Admiral W. S. Capps, Commander R. H. Leigh, Commander T. A. Kearney. Br. R. C.’ Holcomb, Paymaster J. H. Hancock and Lieuts. W. B- Lemly and L.McHowe. The board will be expected to equip and arm forces called into . service, said the Defense Council’s announce ments with the least possible disar rangement of normal Industrial con ditions or interference with shipments i to the Entente Allies. Its immedi-! ate efforts will be directed towards co ordinating army and navy purchases j and in assisting in acquirement of raw j materials for manufacturing facilities and will establish precedence in army anad navy orders.

AUSTRIAN MERCHANT SHIPS TAKEN OVER BY UNITED STATES Washington. — Fourteen Austrian merchant vessels in American ports were taken ever by the government coincident with the announcement that Austria had broken diplomatic rela tions. Telegrams to the collectors of cus toms at the ports concerned were sent personally by Secretary McAdoo in structing that the crews aboard the vessels be removed and that customs guards be placed in their stead.* The status of the removed crews will be determined by immigration authorities. In a formal announcement of the government’s action Secretary Mc- Adoo made it clear that the govern ment had not confi'sca'-'d the vessels, but had acted for the irpose of pro tecting them “from further injury.” From this statement was inferred that the shins were damaged by their crews as in the case of the German vessels taken ovet by the govern men upon the declaration of war with Germany. The vessels thus taken into' the government’s keeping were all Atlan tic or Gulf Ports as follows: New York, Dora Himalaia, Ida and Martha Washington, at Boston; the TiIrny: at Philadelphia, the Franconia: at Newport News, the Budapest; at Pensacola, tie Lncia.' at Tampa, the Borneo; at New Orleans, tlie Anna, Clara and Teresa, and at Galveston, the Campania and Morowitz. BIG OFFFv SIVE IN FRANCE BRITISH FORCES LAUNCH What seemlnsrly is the commence ment of & big Offersive by the British forces In France has besctm along a 15-mile Jine ext^r^fner from Lens to the village of HeTiin-Stir-Ccieul, lying to the southeast of Arras. On the- en tire line, big gains in terrain ha,ve everywhere been made. Heavy cas ualties have been inflicted on the Ger mans and in addition prisoners run ning into the thousands, 5,816 already have been counted, were captured. At a time when everyone is com plaining of the high cost of living it might be well to see if we cannot elim inate two great sources of waste—fires and rats. Most fires are needless. AU rats are so. Some years ago a study of the rat problem In Philadelphia arrived at the conclusion that the rodents of that city ate more than a million dollars’, worth of food each year. At that rate, the disgusting creatures can hardly cost less than $100 ,000,000 per year to the whole country. This is a pret-. ty high price to pay for the compan ionship of Impish pests which, besides their other bad habits, undermine floors and carry the most dreaded of all diseases, bubonic plague. Yet fires. are more expensive than rats. In 1915—the last year for which figures are at hand—the American people paid out In premiums for fire insurance $419,361,346. Of this vast sum at least three-fourths could be saved by reducing our fire record • to the rate prevailing in England, France or Germany; and even in our time and nation $300,000,000 per year is a sav ing worth noting, and one which would have a perceptible effect on the cost of living. Floods in 1916 caused losses in the United States aggregating $21,000,000. Philadelphia will this year spend $6,000,000 to improve city streets. . Grape-Nuts contains the rich supplies of phosphate o! potash grown in wheat and barley. Its mission is therefore clear and plair-it supplies what ordinary food And it does its work in a sturdy, straightforward, dependable way, as tens of thousands of its users can testify. “There’s a Reason” I ■, i : I Ii III! $ fr tfcti c|:,ei f I I M Iif I pi |!1 I uSi, 1 I .;1 l-S§(£s i mi Iir ill I I II* I i!

Under this program Congress will be called upon to raise war revenue to the extent of $1,750,000,000 through new and increased meas ures of taxation during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918. This is exclusive of the $5,000,000,000 bond issue authorization sought of Con gress this week. The total demand upon the fianancial resources cf the country during the first year of the war under this program would be $6,750,000,000. Of the $5,000,000,000 to be raised; by a bond issue, $3,000,000,000, it was definitely stated, would beToan-, ed to the Entente Allies. The en-; tire issue, House and Senate lead-:, ers have agreed; will bear interest; at the rate of three and a’half per, cent. It is proposed to make the; loan to the. Allies at this interest, rate which is lower by far than by; the rate they have been compelled! to pay on their previous isseus. [ JOINS U. S. WILL MD IN DEFENDIN6 CANAL Pacifism at Its Lowest.

The spectacle of the government ■of the United States giving way in dread of a weak and resourceless country like Colombia is one of the ■most amazing and humiliating ever !witnessed. The shame of it is deep ened by the open encouragement of such propaganda from the White House. The fear of a mouse is no less ludi crous . than this expressed fear of Colombia. In these days of severe trial and struggle our government is made to jump hysterically on a chair and pull its skirts closely about it, and shriek frantically at the little creature to run away.—Philadelphia Hedger. Ppor Preparation for Crisis. It is a pity that the country has to be saddle with a tariff board of such construction. The nation is facing a .crisis in its industrial history just as surely as it is facing a political crisis. With the close of the war in Europe the men in the mills and in the fac tories will be looking for employment unless we make such changes in our tariff laws as will effectively meet the emergency. And yet the president of fers them a tariff commission com posed of a majority of those whose theories make them the unrelenting foes of a tariff for the protection of American labor. Dealing In Superfluities. If old Andrew Jackson knew what he -was talking about, the proper civil service examination for post office applicants would consist of two ques tions—"Did you vote the ticket? Will you take the office?”—Houston Post. Not being addicted to the .modern halpt of superfluity of language—as Vice President Marshall puts it, “a wilderness of words”—old Andrew Jackson would have stopped at the end of the first question. In this day, as in Jackson’s own, the finest illustration imaginable of waste of words is to ask a Democrat, "Will you take the office?” Panama.—The President of the Re public of Panama, Dr. Ramon Valdez, ! signed a proclamation committing Panama unreservedly to the assistance of the United States in the defense of the canal. The President also canceled the ex equaturs of all the German Consuls in Panama. The procimation declares; "Our indisputable duty in this tre mendous hour of history is of a com mon ally, whose interests and exist ence as well are linked indissolubly with United States. As the situation creates dangers for our country, it is the duty of the Panaman people to co operate with all the energies and re sources they can command for the pro tection of the canal and to safeguard national territory. “The attitude of the people was foreseen and interpreted faithfully in a resolution unanimously approved by the National Assembly on February 24, and confirmed by later laws, and the moment has arrived for the Executive to act in accordance with the declara tions of the supreme body. I there fore declare that the Panaman nation will lend emphatic co-operation to the United States against enemies who execute or attempt to execute hostile acts against the territory of the canal, or in any manner affect or tend to af fect the common interests. “The Government will adopt ade quate measures In accordance with the circumstances. I consider it the pa triotic duty of all Panaman citizens to facilitate the military operations whicn the forces of the United States under take within the limits of our country. Foreigners, resident or transient, will be obliged to submit to the conditions of this declaration. It is announced that Germans resi dent in Panama will be interned it they give an evidence of being in volved In plots. The proclamation was issued after President Valdez had sent a message to President Wilson indorsing the Am erican action in declaring a state of war with Germany, "after the United States had given unequivocal proofs of its love of peace and had made efforts to save Western civilization from the horrors of war, and had borne with pa tience a long series of provocations as ■irritating as they have been unjusti fiable.” . What Mr. Gerard Thinks. Ambassador Gerard on his return from Germany expresses great sur prise that “we have done nothing to prepare for even a reasonable means of national defense.” . Such a condi tion is incomprehensible to a man who has been in close touch with the. Eu ropean situation and behind th'e lines of the greatest military power of the time, which also is our potential en emy. Our neglect must seem ltd him gnonstrous. HERBERT HOOVER WILL HEAD FOOD COMMITTEE. Washington*—Herbert C.

Ray, prominent young lawyers, who attended the Plattsburg training camp last year, had issued a general invitation to “young men and old young men” to meet with them at the F. I. L.

DYING CHIEF IS VICTIMOfSPELL B la m e s M e d icin e M a n o f T rib e fo r W ish in g F a ta l M a la d y o n H im . OLD BEUEFS ENDURE Contact With Civilixatlon Falla to Eradicate AncidhtiBuperstitiona Among, Indiana of the Northwest. Pendleton, Ore.—Ancient supersti tions of Northwestern Indians have not been eradicated by contact with civilization. The death here recently of Chief No Shirt (Sis-ma-ke-na) of the Walla Wallas showed the ancient traditions and beliefs of his forefa thers still live. In his last illness' the old chief steadfastly refused to be treated by a white physician. AU Indians of the Northwestern tribes at one time were believers in animism—that is, they endowed all animals and inanimate things with souls or spirits, which were nbt in separable from the objects to which they belonged. Whenever an Indian boy w as'bora he was given a “weye- ! kin,” that is, the spirit of some ani mal, bird, fish, insect or serpent was selected to shape his destiny and guard his life. The animal from which he derived his “weyekin” was sacred to him forever. Through his “weye kin” ' the old Indian believed it pos sible for him to work evil upon an other person, providing his “weyekin” was more powerful than the "weye kin” of his enemy. Cast Evil Spell Over Chief. Old Chief No Shirt believed She-Iow- be-tammy, through his “weyekin,” had cast an evil' spell over the chief. His own “weyekin” was not strong enough to overcome that of the medicine man and he told his people that unless She- low-he-tammy withdrew his “weyekin” their chief must die. The medicine man is thought to have superior ability In the control of his “weyekin” and in getting its assis tance. ' He evokes the aid of his "weye kin’-’ by tom-toms and other weird means and projects his evil thoughts through his “weyekin” into his victim. She-low-he-tammy, who is known familiarly among his tribesmen as Dr. Sham-mook and among the whites as Big Jim, is one of the last of the old medicine men on the reservation. The death of Chief No Shirt re moved from the reservation one of the most influential Indians In the West, and the last of the old-time chiefs. Stuck to Things of Past.* No Shirt was the leader of the fac tion that adhered to things of the past. He resisted every innovation brought by the white man. H islastfight was & Evokes the Aid of His “Weyekin” by Tomtoms. to prevent the allotment of tribal lands. When the Indians Of the reservation on January 2 voted in favor of the proposed plan, the chief called a coun cil of his own and was again defeated after hours of heated debate. It was then that he decided to go to Wash ington, D. C., and appear before the Indian bureau in behalf of his plan. His l^st Illness prevented the trip, and even while he was dying eame the dis patch that' Senator Lane of Oregon had included in the Indian bill a pro vision for the allotment of tribal lands. Chief No Shirt succeeded Chief HomIi in the late eighties. Homli was the son of Peu-peu-mox-mox, the chief who. was killed by 'the whites while held as a hostage during the battle ,of Walla Walla river in 1856. The suc cessor to Chief No Shirt will he chosen by a tribal council, to be called soon. Spanked by Burglar.'

W hat he'll ask me, when he’s borin* through me with his While De Spain, standing close to the lantern, deciphered the brief note, Bull, wrapping his blanket about him with the air of one whose responsibil ity Is well ended, held out his hands toward the blazing stove. De Spain went over the words one by one, and the letters again and again. It was, after all their months of ardent meet ings, the first written message he had ever had from Nan. He flamed an grily at the news th at. she was pris oner in her own home. But there was much to weigh in her etched words, much to think about concerning her feelings—not alone • concerning his own. _ He dropped into his chair, and, ob livious for a moment of his compan ion's presence, stared into the fire. When he started from his revery Bull was asleep, De Spain picked him up, carried him in his blanket over to a cot, cut the wet rags off him, and, rolling him in a second blanket, walked out into the barn and ordered up a team and light wagon for Sleepy Cat. The rain fell all night. CHAPTER XXII. An Ominous Message. Few men bear suspense w ell; De Spain took his turn at vit very bard. “Patience.” He repeated the word to himself a thousand times to deaden his suspense and apprehension. Busi ness affairs took much of Iiis-time, but Nan’s situation took most of his thought. For the first time he told John Lefever the story of Nan’s find ing him on Music mountain, of her aid in his escape, and the sequel of their friendship. Lefever gave it to M Scott to JefMes1 office, • “What Id I tell p , Jotof de- manded Bob mildly. “No m atter what, you told me,” re torted Lefever, “The 'question is: What’s he to do to get Nan away from there without shooting up the Mor gans?” De Spain' had gone that morning to Medicine Bend. He got back late and, after a supper at the Mountain house, went directly to his room. The tele phone bell was ringing when he un locked and threw open his door. “Is this Henry de Spain?” came a voice, slowly pronouncing the words over the wire. “Yes." Ii “ 'N' I Eats a Piping Hot Supper.” eyes like the way you’re borin’ me through with yours, is : When will you see him—-when will he see you?’ “She looked worrit for a minit. Then she looks around, grabs up the cover of an empty ’bacco :box and a fork and begins a-writing inside.” BuU with as much of a smile, as he could call into Iiie from his broken nerves, opened up his blanket, drew carefully from an inside coat pocket an oilskin package, unwrapped from .it the flat, square top of a tin tobacco box, on which Ngn had scratched a message, and handed it . triumphantly to De Spain. • He read her words eagerly: “W ait; don’t have trouble- I , can stand anything better than bloodshed, Henry. Be patient,” ; sic mountain," "Go ahead.” "The message is like this : Take me away from here as soon as you can.’” “Whom is that message from?” “I can’t call any names.” “Who are you?” “I can’t tell you that. Goodby.” “Hold on. If you’re treating me fair—and I believe you mean' t o - come over to my room a minute.” “No.” . “Let me come to where you are?” “No.” “Let me wait for you—anywhere?” “No.” t , ' “Do you think that message means what it says?” “I know it does.’ “Do you know what it means for me to undertake?” “I have a pretty stiff idea.” ‘.‘Did you get it direct from the party who sent it?” , “I can’t talk all night. Take it or leaye it just where it is.” De Spain heard him close. He closed his own instrument and began feverishly signaling central. “This is 101. Henry de Spain talking,” he said briskly. “You just called' me. Ten dollars for you, operator if you can locate that call, quick!” . • There was a moment of delay at the central office, then the answer: “It came from 234—Tenlson’s saloon.” “Give me your name, operator. Good.' Now give me 22, and ring the neck off the bell.” Lefever answerbd the call, on No. 22. The talk was quick and sharp. Messengers were instantly pressed into service from the dispatcher’s of fice. Telephone wires hummed, and every man available on the special agent’s force was brought into action. Livery stables were covered, the pub lic resorts were put under observation, horsemen clattered up and down the street. Within an incredibly short time the town was'rounded up, every outgoing trail watched, and search was underway for anyone from Mor gan’s gap, and especially for the send er of the telephone message. De Spain, after instructing Lefever, hastened to Tenison’s. His rapid questioning of the few habitues of the place and the bartender elicited only the information that a man had used the telephone booth within a few min utes. Nobody knew him, or, if they did ■. know him ,' refused to describe him in any but vague terms. Outside, Bob Scott in the saddle waited with a led horse. The two men rode straight and hard out on the sinks. The sky was overcast, and speed was their only resource. After two miies of priding, they reined up on' a ridge, and Scott, springing from the saddle, listened, for sounds.' He rose from the ground, declaring he could hear the strides of a. running horse. Again the two dashed ahead. The chase was bootless. Whoever rode before them easily eluded pursuit. . ^ . Undeterred by: his failure to over take the fugitive, De Spain rode rap idly babk to town to look for other clews. Nothing further was found to throw light on the message or mes senger. No one had been found any where: in town from Morgan’s gap; whoever had taken a chance in de livering the message had escaped un detected. ; Even after the search 1 had been abandoned the significance of' the in cident remained to be weighed. De Spain was much upset. A conference with Scott, whose judgment in any affair was marked by good sense, and with Lefever, who, like a woman, reached by intuition a conclusion at which Scott or De Spain, arrived by process of thought, only revealed the fact that all three, as Lefever con fessed, were nonplused. “It’s one of two things,” declared Lefever, whose eyes were never dulled by late hours. “Either they’ve sent this to lure you into the gap and ‘get’ you, or else—and that’s a great big ‘or else’—she needs you. • Henry, did that message—I mean the way it was worded—sound like Nan Morgan?” De Spain, could hardly, answer.-. “It did, and it didn’t,” he said finally. “But—" his companions saw ■ during the pause, by/which-his lips expressed the resolve he had finally reached that, he was not likely to be truned from it—“I am going to act just as lfihe word came from. Nan and she does need me.” More than one scheme for getting quickly into touch with Nan was pro posed and rejected within the next ten minutes. And when Lefever, after conferring with Scott, put up to De Spain a. proposal that the three should ride into the gap together and de mand Nan .at the hands of Duke Mor gan, De Spain had- reached another conclusion. “I know you are willing to take more than your share, John, of any game I play. In the first place, it isn’t right to take you and. Bob in where I am going on my own personal affair. And I know Nan wouldn’t en joy the prospect of an all-around fight on her account. Fighting is a horror to that girl. I've got her feelings to think about as well as ray own. I’ve J e i t o F t o t t o to l J o t o I t o s o iD j in alone.” . - . ■ “You’re going in alone!” “Tonight. Now, Fll tell you what FdxIike you to do if you want to: ride with me and wait till morning, out side El Capitan. If you don’t hear from me bjr ten o'clock, ride back to Calabasas and notify Jeffries to look for a new manager.” . “On the contrary, if we don’t hear from you by ten o’clock, Henry, we will blaze our way in and drag out your body.” Lefever put up his hand to cut off any rejoinder. “Don’t dis cuss it. What happens after ten o’clock tomorrow morning, if we don’t hear from you before that, can’t pos- slbly.be of interest to yon or mate any difference.” He paused, but De Spain saw that he was not done. When he resumed, he spoke in a tone different from that which De Spain usually associated with him. “Henry, you’ve pulled a good many rough games in this country. No man knows better than I that you never pulled one for the looks of the thing or to make people talk—or that you ever took a chance you didn’t feel you had to take.' / But -it isn’t humanly pos sible you can keep this up for all tim e! it • can’t go on forever. The pitcher goes to the well once too often, Henry; there comes a time when it doesn’t come back. “Understand—I’m not saying this to attempt to dissuade you from the worst job you ever started in on. I know your mind is made up. You won’t listen to me; you won’t listen to Scott; and I’m too good an Indian not to know where I get off, or not to do what I’m told. But this is %vhat Fve been thinking of ^a long, long time; and that is what I feel I ought to say, here and now.” The two men were sitting in De Spain’s room. De Spain was staring through the broad south window at the white-capped peaks of the distant range. He was silent for a time. “I believe you’re right, John,” Iie said after a while. “I know you are. In this case I am tied up more than I’ve ever been tied before; but I’ve got to see it through as best I. can, and take what • comes without whining. My mind is made upi and, strange as it may sound to you, I teel that I am coming back. Not but what I know it’s due me, John. Not but what I expect to get it sometime. And may be Fm wrong now; but I don’t feel as it’s coming till I’ve given all the protection to that girl that a man can give to a woman.” The sun set across the range in a drift of grnyisb-black, low-lying clouds, which seemed only to await its disappearance to envelop the moun tains and empty their moisture on the desert. By the time De Spain and Le fever reached the end of their long ride a misty rain was drifting down from the west. The two "men had just ridden into the quaking asps when a man coming out of the gap almost rode into them. The intruders had halted and were sufficiently hidden to escape notice, had not Lefever’s horse indiscreetly coughed. The man from the gap reined up .and called out Le fever answered. ' ’ “It’s Bull Page,” declared De Spain, after ,the exchange of a few . words, CHAPTER XXIII. A Surprising Slip. ' Scott was called by Lefever to con clude in secret tile final arrangements. The ground about the quaking asp grove, and nearest El Capitan, afford ed the best concealment close to. the gap. And to this point Scott was di rected to bring what men he could be fore daybreak the following morning. “It’s a short notice to get many men together—of the kind we want," admitted Lefever. "You’ll have to skirmish some between now and mid night. What do you think you can do?” Scott had already made up a tenta tive list. He named four—first Far rell Kennedy, who was in town, and said nobody should go if he didn’t; Frank Elpaso, the Texan; the English man, Tommy Meggeson; and AVick- wire, if he could be located—any one of them, Lefever knew, could give an account of himself under all circum stances. While Scott was getting his men to gether, De Spain, accompanied by Le- fever, was riding toward Mnaio moun- r tain. Scott had urged on them but one parting caution—not' to leave the aspens until rain began falling.' When he spoke there was not a cloud -in the sky. ‘I t’s going to rain tonight, just the same,” predicted Scott. “Don’t leave the trees till it gets going. Those gap scouts will get; under cover and be hunting for a drink the minute it gets cold—I know them. Ton can ride right over ^their toes, if you’ll be pa tient” “It Can’t Go On Forever." calling to Bull at the same time to come over to the shelter of the trees. “What’s going on in there, Bull?” asked.De Spain after Bull had told him that Gale had driven Iiim out, and he was heading for Calabasas. “You• tell,” 'retorted Page. ‘Looks to me like old Duke’s getting ready to die.- Gale soys he’s going to draw his will tonight, and don’t want no- bod? aroid-sot old Jtose Dud in there.” De Spain pricked up his ears. “What’s that, Druel?” he demanded. Bull- repeated his declaration. Lefe-, ver broke into violent language at the Sleepy Cat jurist’s expense, and ended by declaring that no will should be drawn in the gap that night by Duke Morgan or anybody else, unless he and Bull were made legatees. Beyond this nothing could be learned from Bull, who was persuad ed without difficulty by Lefever to abandon the idea' of riding to Calaba sas through the rain, add to spend the night with him in the neighbor hood, wherever- fancy, the rain, and the wind—which was rising—should dictate. While the .two were talking, De Spain tried to slip away, unobserved by Lefever, on his errand. He failed, as he expected to, and after, some fa miliar abuse, rode off-alone, fortified by every possible • suggestion at the hands of a man to whom the slightest precaution' was usunlly a joke. De Spain reached Duke's ranch un challenged. Night had fallen every where, and the increasing rain ob scured even the outline of the house. But a light shone through one uncur tained window. He waited some time for a sound of liff, for a door to open or dose, or for the dog to bark—he heard nothing. Slipping out of the wet saddle, he led his horse in the darkness under the shelter of the lone pine tree and, securing him, walked slowly toward the house. Mindful of the admonitions he had been loaded with, be tramped around the house in narrowing circle's, paus ing at times to look and listen. In like manner he circled the bam and stables, until he had made sure there was no ambush and that he was alone outside. After a Ome he stepped around to the front of the house, where, screened by a bit of shrubbery, he could peer at close range into the living room. Standing before the fire burning in the open hearth, and with his back to it, he now/saw Gale Morgan. Sit ting bolt upright beside the table, square-jawed and obdurate, his stubby brier pipe supported by bis hand and gripped in his great; teeth, Duke Mor gan looked uncompromisingly past bis belligerent nephew into the. fire. A third and elderly man, heavy, red faced, and almost toothless as he spoke, sat to the right of the table -in a rocking chair, and looked at Duke; this was the old lawyer and justice from Sleepy Cat, the sheriff’s broth er—Judge Druel. Nan was not to be seen. Gale, big and aggressive, was doing’most of the talking, and energetically, as was his habit; Duke listened thoughtfully, but Seemingly with- coldness. Druei looked from Gale to .Duke, and ap peared occasionally to put in a word to carry the Orgmnont along- What happens to .

' De Spain went over the words one by one, and the letters again and again. It was, after all their months of ardent meet ings, the first written message he had ever had from Nan. He flamed an grily at the news that she was pris oner in her own home.. But there was much to weigh In her etched words, much to think about concerning her feelings—not alone concerning his own. _ He dropped into his chair, and, ob livious for a. moment of his compan ion’s presence, stared into the fire. When he started from his revery Bull was asleep. De Spain picked him up, carried him In his blanket over to a cot, cut the wet rags off him, and, rolling him in a second' blanket, 'walked out into the barn and ordered up a team and light wagon for Sleepy Cat. The rain fell all night. «»N’ I Eats a Piping Hot Supper." eyes like the way you’re borin’ me through with yours, is : When will you see him—when will be see you?’ “She fooked worrit for a minit. Then she looks around, grabs up the cover of an empty ’bacco box and a fork and begins a-writipg inside.” Bull with as much of a smile as he could call into life from his broken nems, opened up his blanket, drew carefully from an inside coat pocket an oilskin package, unwrapped from it the flat, square top of a tin tobacco box, on which Npn had scratched a message, and handed it . triumphantly to De Spain. - ' He read her words eagerly: “W ait; don’t' have trouble. I , can stand anything better than bloodshed, Henry. Be patSanfc” , CHAPTER XXi I. An Ominous Message. Pew men bear suspense well; De Spain took his turn at xit very hard. “Patience.” He repeated the word to himself a thousand times to deaden his suspense and apprehension. Busi ness affairs took much of his-time, but Nan’s situation tOok most of his thought. For the first time he told John Lefever the story of Nan’s find ing him on Music mountain, of her aid in his escape, and the sequel of their friendship. Lefever gave it to Bob Scott in Jeffries’ office. “What did I tell you, John?” de manded Bob mildly. “No matter what-you told me,” re torted Lefever, “The "“question is: What’s he to do to get Nan away from there without shooting up the Mor gans?” De Spain' had gone that morning to Medicine Bend. He got back late and, after a supper at the Mountain house, went directly to his room. The tele phone bell was ringing when he un locked and threw open his door. “Is this Henry de Spain?” came a voice, slowly proiiouneing the words over the wire. "Yes." “I have a message for you from Mu sic mountain.” “Go ahead.” “Thefmessage is like this-: ‘Take me away from here as soon as you can.’ ” “Whom is that message from?” “I can’t call any names.” “Who are you?” “I can’t tell you that. Goodby.” “Hold on. If you’re treating me fair—and I believe you mean t o - come over to my room a minute.” “No.” “Let me come to where you are?” “No.” “Let me wait for you—anywhere?” “No.” . , ' “Do you think that message means what it says?” “I know it does,’ “Do you know what it means for me to undertake?” "I have a pretty stiff idea.” ‘.‘Did you get it direct from the party who sent it?” “I can’t talk all night. Take it or leave it just where it Isi" De Spain heard him close. He closed his own instrument and began feverishly signaling central. “This is 101. Henry de Spain talking,” he said briskly. “You just called- me. Ten dollars for you, operator if you can locate that call, quick!” . There was a moment of delay at the central office, then the answer: “It came from 234—Tenlson’s saloon.” “Give me your name, operator. Good.' Now give me 22, and ring the neck off the bell.” Lefever answered the call , on No. 22. The talk was quick and= sharp. Messengers were instantly • pressed into service from the dispatcher’s of fice. Telephone wires hummed, and every man available on the special agent’s force was brought into action. Livery stables were covered, the pub lic resorts were put under observation, horsemen Clattered UP and down the street. Within an incredibly short time the town was'rounded up, every outgoing trail watched, and search was nnderway for anyone from Mor gan’s gap, and especially for the send er of the telephone message. De Spain, after instructing Lefever, hastened to Tenison’s. His rapid questioning of the few habitues of the place and the bartender elicited only the information that a man had used the telephone booth within a few min utes. Nobody knew him, or, if they did , know him, ‘ refused to describe him in any but vague terms. Outside, Bob Scott in the saddle waited with a led horse. The two men rode straight and hard out on the sinks. The sky was overcast, and speed was their only resource. After two miies of jriding, they reined up on a ridge, and Scott, springing from the saddle, listened, for sounds.' He rose from the ground, declaring he could hear the strides of a. running horse. Again the two dashed ahead. The chase was bootless. Whoever rode before them easily eluded pursuit . Undeterred by his failure to over take the fugitive, De Spain rode rap idly back to town to look for other clews. Nothing farther was found to throw light on the message or mes senger. No one had been found any where. In town from Morgan’s gap; whoever had taken a chance in de livering the message had escaped un detected. Even after the search 1 had been abandoned the significance of'the in cident remained to be weighed. De Spain was much upset ,A conference ,with Scott whose judgment in any affair was marked by good sense, and 1 with Lefever, who, like a woman, ~ reached by intuition a conclusion at which Scott or De Spain, arrived by process of thought, only revealed the fact that all three, as Lefever con fessed, were nonplused. “It’s one of two thiegs,” declared Lefever, whose eyes were never dulled by late hours. , “Either they’ve sent this to lure you' into the gap and ‘get’ you, or else—and that’s a great big ‘or else’—she needs you. Henry, did that message—-I mean the .way It was worded.—sound like Nan Morgan?” De Spain, could hardly- answer. ‘Tt did,: and. it didn’t,” he said finally. “But—” his companions saw • during the pause, by/which his lips expressed the resolve he had finally reached that he was not likely to be truned from it—“I am going to act just as if 4he word came from. Nan and she does need me.” More than one scheme for getting quickly into touch with Nan was pro posed and rejected within the next ten minutes. And when Lefever, after conferring with Scott put up to De Spain a. proposal that the three should ride into the gap together and de mand Nan ^.t the hands of Duke Mor gan, De Spain had- reached another conclusion. “I know you are willing to take more than your share,. John, of any game I play. In the first place, it isn’t right to take you and. Bob in where I am going on my own personal affair. And I know Nan wouldn’t en joy the prospect of an all-around fight on her account - Kghting is a horror to that girl. I’ve got her feelings to think about as well as my own. IVe decided what to do, John. Tm going in alone.” . ■ “You’re going in alone!” “Tonight Now, PU tell you what rd.like you to do if you want to: ride with me and wait till morning, out side El Capltan. If you don’t hear from me b$ ten o’clock, ride back to Calabasas and notify Jeffries, to look for a new manager.” . “On the contrary, if we don’t hear from you by ten o'clock, Henry, we will biaze our way In and drag out your body.” Lefever put up his hitnd to cut off any rejoinder. “Don’t dis cuss it. What happens after ten o’clock tomorrow morning, if we don’t hear from you before that, can’t pos sibly . be of interest to you or make any difference.” He paused, but De Spain saw that he was not done. When he resumed, he spoke in a tone different from that which De Spain usually associated with him. “Henry, you’ve pulled a good many rough games in this country.' No man knows better than I that you never pulled one for the looks of the thing or to make people talk—or that you ever took a chance you didn’t feel you had to ta k e .'B u t -it isn’t humanly pos sible you can beep this up for all tim e! it ■ can’t go on forever. The pitcher goes to the well once too often, Henry; there comes a time when it doesn’t come back. “Understand—I’m not saying this to attempt to dissuade you from the worst job you ever started in on. I know your mind is made up. You won’t listen to m e; you won’t listen to Scott; and I’m too good an Indian not to know where I get off, or not to do what Tm told.- But this is what I’ve been thinking of -a long, long time; and that is what I feel I ought to say, here and now.” The two men were sitting in De Spain’s room, be Spain was staring through the broad south window at the white-capped peaks of the distant range. He was silent for a time. “I believe you’re right, John," he said after a while. “I know you are. In this case I am tied up more than I’ve ever been tied before; but I’ve got to see it through as best I. can, and take w hat' comes without whining. My mind is made up, and, strange as it may sound to you, I Ieel that I am coming back. Not but what I know it’s due me,. John. Not but what I expect to get it sometime. And may be Tm wrong now; -but I don’t feel as it’s coming till I’ve given all the protection to that girl that a man can give to a woman.” The sun set across the range in a drift of grayish-black,. low-lying clouds, which seemed only to await its disappearance to envelop the moun tains and empty their moisture on the desert. By the time De Spain and Le fever reached tbe end* of their long ride a misty rain was drifting down from the west. The two^men had just ridden into the quaking asp? when a man coming out of the gap almost rode into them. The Intruders had halted and were sufficiently hidden to escape notice, had not Lefever’s horse indiscreetly coughed. The man from Oie gap reined up and called out Le-. fever answered. ' -■ “It’s Bull Page,” declared De Spain, after .the exchange of a few words, ■ O a CHAPTER XXIII. A Surprising Slip. Scott was called by Lefever to con clude in secret the final arrangements. The ground about the quaking asp grove, and nearest El Capitan, afford ed the best concealment close to the gap. And to this point Scott was di rected to bring what men he could be fore daybreak the following morning. “It’s a short notice to get many men together—of the kind we want,” admitted Lefever. “You’ll have to skirmish some between now and mid night. What do you think you can d o r Scott had already made up a tenta tive list. He named four—first Far rell Kennedy, who was In town, and said nobody should go if he didn’t; Frank Elpasd. the Texan ; the English man, Tommy Meggeson; and SIVick- wire, if he could be located—any one of them, Lefever knew, could give an account of himself under all circum stances. While Scott was getting his men to gether, De Spain, accompanied by Le-' feyer, was riding toward Music moun- j. tain. Scott had urged on them but one parting caution—not to leave the aspens until rain began falling. When he spoke there was not a cloud in the sky. “It’s going to rqln tonight, just the same,” predicted Scott. “Don’t leave the trees till it gets going.-Those gap scouts will get.-under cover and be hunting for a drink the minute-it gets cold—I know them. You can ride right over'their toes, if you’ll be pa tient/*: .. “It Can’t Go On Forever." calling to Bull at the same time to come over to the shelter of the trees. “What’s going on in there, Bull?” asked. De Spain after Bull had told him that Gale had driven him out, and he was heading for Calabasas. “You-tell,” 'retorted Page. “Looks to me like old Duke’s getting ready to die. Gale says he’s going to draw his will tonight, and don’t want no body around—got old Judge Druel in there.” De Spain pricked up his ears. “What’s that, Druel ?” he demanded. Bull repeated his declaration. Lefe-, ver broke into violent language at the Sleepy Cat jurist’s expense, and ended by declaring that no will should be drawn In the gap that night by Duke Morgan or anybody else, unless he and Bull were made legatees. Beyond this nothing could be learned from Bull, who was persuad ed without difficulty by Lefever to abandon the idea'of riding to Calaba sas through the rain, and to spend the night with him In the neighbor hood, wherever- fancy, the rain, and the wind—which was rising—should dictate. While the two were talking, De Spain tiled to slip away, unobserved by Lefever, on his errand. He failed, as he expected to, and after some fa miliar abuse, rode off-alone, fortified by every possible. suggestion at the hands of a man to whom the slightest precaution was usually a joke. De Spain reached Duke's ranch un challenged. Night had fallen every where, and the increasing rain ob scured even the outline of the house. But a light shone through one uncur tained window. He waited some time for a sound of llf$, for a door to open or close, or for the dog to bark—he heard nothing. Slipping out of the wet saddle, he led his horse in the darkness under the shelter of the lone pine tree and, securing him, walked slowly toward the house. Mindful of the admonitions he had been loaded with, he tramped around the house in narrowing circles, paus ing at times to look and listen. In like manner he circled the barn and stables, until he had made sure there was no ambush and that he was alone outside. After a time he stepped around to the front of the house, where, screened by a bit of shrubbery, he could peer at close range into the living room. Standing before the fire burning ia the open hearth, and with his back to i t he now saw Gale Morgan. Sit ting bolt upright beside the table, square-jawed and obdurate, his stubby brier pipe supported by his hand and gripped in his great teeth, Duke Mor gan looked uncompromisingly past his belligerent nephew into the fire. A third and elderly man, heavy, red faced, and almost toothless as he spoke, sat to the right of the table in a rocking chair, and looked at Duke; this was the old lawyer and justice from Sleepy Cat, the sheriff’s broth* er—Judge Druel. Nan was not to be seen. Gale, big and aggressive, was doing most of the talking, and energetically, as was his habit. Duke listened thoughtfully, but seemingly with coldness. Druel looked from Gale to Duke, and ap peared occasionally to put In a word to carry the argument along. What happens to De Spain when he goes into Morgan gap during the night to. rescue his sweetheart is told with thrilling detail in'the next installment , (TO BE CONTINUED.)

A d v . Cost of Raising Turkeys Is Small Where Free Range Can- Be Given —Some Important Factors. * For those who are favorably situ ated for raising turkeys, a more profit able side line can liardly be found. Given plenty of range where the tur keys can find grasshoppers and other insects, green vegetation, the seeds of weeds and grasses, waste grain, acorns and nuts of various kinds, the cost of raising them is very small and the profits large. Grain and stock farms are particularly well adapted to turkey raising, and it Is on such farms that most of thp turkeys are found. Little has ever been done in the way of rais ing turkeys in confinement. - id where it has been tried the re'- .-.s have been discouraging. Plenty -• range is es sential to success in ^rkey. raising. In selecting tiirkej for breeding, the most important fa-, qrs to be con sidered are vigor, size, Niape, bone, early maturity and color ui plumage. The body should be deep and wide, the back broad and the breast round and full. The head should be of good size nnd of a clean, healthy appearance. A strong, well-made skeleton is shown ! by thick, sturdy shanks and straight, i strong toes. It should be the aim of every turkey raiser to have a, flock of purebred turkeys, even though they New Discovery! Takes Place of Dangerous Calomel— It Puts Your Livery Work Without MakingYou Sick— Eat Anything— It Can Not Salivate— Don’t Lose a Day's Work! I discovered a vegetable compound that does the work of dangerous, sickening calomel and I want every reader of this paper to try a bottle and if it doesn’t straighten you up better and quicker, than, salivating calomel just go back to the store and get your money. I guarantee’ that one spoonful of Dodson’s Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean your thirty feet of bowels of the sour bile and constipation poison which is clogging your system and making you feel miserable. I guarantee that one spoonful of this harmless liquid liver medicine will relieve the headache, bil iousness, coated tongue, ague, malaria, sour stom ach or any other distress caused by a torpid liver as quickly as a dose of vile, nauseating calomel, besides it will not make you sick or keep you from a day’s work;. I want to see a bottle of this W0J derful liver medicine in every home here. I Calomel is poison—it’s mercury—it attacks thl bones, often causing rheumatism. Calomel is ( gerous. It sickens—while my Dodson’s LivJ Tone is safe, pleasant and harmless. Eat anil thing afterwards, because it can not salivate. GitI it to the children because it doesn’t upset the stc ach or shock the liver. Take a spoonful toni and wake up feeling fine and ready fora day’s work. Get a bottle! Try it! If it doesn’t do cxacfiJ what I say, tell your dealer to hand your moril back.

She was comely and a widow, and, moreover, she was Scotch.

The male at the head of the flock should by all means be a purebred of the best type obtainable. The male is one-half the entire flock, and by continually select ing the best females o f'a similar type and mating these with a purebred male, one can soon have a flock of uni formly large, early-maturing, strong- boned, long and deep-bodied turkeys of the same color. Fifteen turkey hens can safely be mated to a vigorous tom. If 25 o r'30 hens are kept, two toms should not be allowed to run with them at the same time, but one should be confined one day and the other the next. When two toms are allowed to run together during the mating season they fight badly and the stronger does practically all of the mating. He Knew. .

The practice of allowing dead chickens to lie about the' premises or in the brooders and of throwing them over tlie fence for the hogs to eat, are decidedly bad, and directly responsible for large losses each year by causing and distributing disease, writes M.

HAIR MEANS DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE Save Your Hair! Get a 25 Cent Bottle of Danderine Right Now—Also Stops Itching Scalp. . • >Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected ucalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf. There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of its luster, its strength and its very life; eventually producing a 'feverish ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to -shrink, loosen and die—then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight—now—any time—will surely save your hair. Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowltoris Danderine from any store, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, lu3ter and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appear ance of abundance: an incomparable gloss and softness, but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks’ use, when you will actual ly see a lot of fine, downy hair—new hair—growing all over the scalp.4 Adv.

S. GOVERNMENT DUYS 111 It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a sick child. Look back 'at your childhood days. Remember the “dose” mother insisted on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our .children it’s different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don’t realize what they do. The children’s revolt is well-found ed. Their tender little “insides” are injured by them. If your child’s stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious “California Syrup of Figs.” Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless “fruit laxative” handy; they know, children love to take it; that it never fails to. clean the liver and bowels and sweet-' en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor row. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle j of “California Syrup of Figs,” which I has ful) directions for babies, children of all ages and fir grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv.

OUR MISSIONARY QUESTION BOX. ' Mrs. Charles McBride, of Pino, died Tuesday evening,' following a long illness, at the age of 30 years. The funeral and burial services were conducted by Rev. Ballard, at Bethle hem, on Thursday afternoon, A husband and two children survive. What is the most colossal enterprise ever undertaken? Giving the gospel to every creature. Will this not require a vast amount of money? Not more than the church is able to supply. In the United States the wealth of evangelical Church members is more than twenty billion, dollars. How do Americans spend their money? Foreign Missions—12,000,000., Chewing Gum 25,000,000.. Millinery 80,000,000., Con fectionery 290,000.000., Church Work At Home 300,000.000., Tobacco 750,000,000, Jewelry 900,000,000., Can money convert the the heathen? - Thegoidof theuniversecan not pur-) .chase pardon for, one immortal soul.

A separator that is not properly oiled will turn hard and soon wear out Tlie old-fashioned method of oiling through a number of little holes with, a squirfc-can was unsatisfactory for the reason that some users would oil too much and too often, while others would not oil often enough.

The automatic oiling system saves time and n saves trouble, makes the machine run easier and adds years to its life. The De Laval oiling system has been greatly improved by the addition in the NEW De -Laval of an automatically oiled neck bearing and the consequent elimination of the tube • that formerly carried oil to this most important part. There has never been a cream separator that embodied so many improvements as the NEW De Laval. . ; The new self-centering bowl with its improved milk-distributing device; and the bell speed-lndicator which insures-operation at the proper speed, are-two of the greatest improvements that have ever been made iu cream separator construction. ’ ComeinandseetheNEWDeLaval. , IttVTfUS iMJ&flO* (WtMiWflf)I Bhowingr patomatic oilinr of NEW De Lnva!.

The town that would grow and prosper must bear well in mind one Important, fact—it must put forth a determined and united ei fort to secure and hold the friend ship and patronage of the farming interests of the surroudiog ter lit ory. 'I Occasionally we find a town which, by reason of manufacturing interests and other causes, is par tially independenl of neighbor hood support, but such towns are the exception and not the rule. T he logical way to secure and hold the loyal support of the su r rounding country is by extending a sim ilar loyalty and by putting into practice a real co.mmunity of interests. The town that sees only the mon ey to be gotten out of the farmers is due to wake up some morning and find that the iarmer trade has been switched to some other point. What we must learn is that the the trade of any section of the country will go. first, to the center that makes the best bid; and sec ond, to place that puts fourth an effort to make conditions pleasant for the traders. I There are many ways in which a town can attract trade, and they are all combined under one gener al requisite—that we make coudit ions profitable, pleasant and com fortable, pleasant and comfortable for our customers. Every town of any pretensions should have a place set apart as an assembly room, where custo ihers from out of town, can eot%r; gate and find shelter from the weather and warmth and cmifoit in the winter. In laec, two cum rooms should be provided, one lor women aud the ottier for men, and should be fitted with modern con venienees. If the town is not able to. maintain two such rooms, by all means give preferences to the worn en. as the men can easily shift for themselves. Itisalsuagoodplan plan,to have these rooms supplied with newspapers and other periodi eals, aud many towns are even in stalling respectable libraries in their rest rooms. But right at this point is where Ibe plan fails in'some towns. The writerhas in mind a town which has a splendid •rest' room, fitted up at consider able expense. Bnt instead of b> - ( ing made a sanctuary, for- visitors! who come in from the country and | really need the conveniences it al-' ; fords,Tt is turnded into a meeting | and IoaHng place for all the idle > boys and girls of tbe town, aud out I of town people are not made to feel I that welcome which should be theirs. This objectionable feature could be ^eliminated,, however, through and iron clad rule against professional loafers of the ■ town- Anotbermatterthatshouldclaim our attention is to see. that every visitor is provided shelter for his team. True, tbe car has displaced the horse to some extent, but tbe latter is still largely in evidence in the country districts, and the aver age man would as sooii suffer die comforts himself as to neglect his horse. Some towns have abandon ed the old hitching racks and have erected commodious public sheds and par us cable of. sheltering al most any number of animals, and I they fiind that it pays laige divid ends. The main consideration is that we should regard every visiter as a guests and provide for his or her comfort while with jus. We must make each one feel that he or. she is not only welcome,- but that their company is desired and appreciat ed aB well as their business. Such an effort, • systematically put forth, and sustained, will create a feeling of cordiality and friendship that will link the entire com rnuuity together in j nd issoluble bonds, and a true community ol interests will be maintained. In order that one may not bear more than bis prorata share of the expense of such an undertaking, the espeuditures of erection and iiiaintainauce should be made from the town funds, and the custodi ans should be appointed and paid by the Ioral authorities. Such evidences of thoughtfulne.-. and consideration are bringing rich returns to other towns. Wh> not to this one? THE IiA V tE RECOfcD, MOCKSVILLE, N.

TH$ PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XVIll IVILLE, NORlB CAfeOU^i, WEDNESDAY, APRIL IJ 1917,NUMBER 40 we received a beautiful letter on the 5th, inst It was indeed from a friend, Mrs. R. Lee Kinder; of Har mony, Iredell county. ‘ And she Ib one of the Record’s many good read ers. Any one could tell from the tone and spirit of her letter, that she a torn and Tmediji DsviBl l SI perfect s h t c k when she was a Rirlf we saw her often. We know her parents well. especially her father, JoKn B. Smith. Hecame from Caswell county just before the Civil war. For eight years, he overseen for Mrs:/. Betsy Brown who lived at Prospect Hill, as her home was called, and whom we have mentioned in these sketches. John B. Smith married Miss Pan- thie Hix of Wilkesn. county. He bought the Fitzgerald farm, adjoin* ing the widow Hanes farm on butch? man Creek, He spent his days in Davie, He died at Fork Church on June 8th 1914, aged 83 years; He was always loyal to every interest pertaining to the good, of the county and an upright and. honest gentle man. He was a humane and effici ent overseer and a good farmer, and a brother to Willis Smiffi who has been mentioned in these sketches. Mrs. Kinder very kindly, corrects some of our sketches of the Brown and Hanes families; for which we thank her. She says. Mrs. .Betsy Brown had two. daughters. Misses Sallie and Jessie. Miss Sallie. married Mr. willis Hall. They lived in Wips-1 ton and reased a family of six child ren. Mrs. Hall died in December, 1916. Of course, we remember Miss Sallie, and Mr. Hall. He was a.great hunter, and was the beBt bird shot on the wing, we'ever Saw. He never put his gun up to hte.face . and took sight, yet nine tjmes out . of ten,- he, ' would get his bird of ^/bsteyergirtd> It was strang we did not-recall this part of the Brown family. Mrs. Kinder says Miss Jessie mar ried Col. McAlister of St. Paul, Minn. But she had no children, and died a few years ago. while we have for gotten what became of her, we are confident Mrs. Kinder has it right, and we thank her in behalf of the readers for this information.' She says the father of the Hanes boys was called “Sandy Hanes.” And that to us sounds natural. She then says, P. H. Hanes married Miss Lizara Fortune, of Texas. John Hanes married Miss Anna Hodgin,of winston-Salem, and Frank Hanes . married Miss Stella williams of Davie county, we remember now how we used to joke P. H. by saying it was easier to marry a “fortune than to work for it.” But it had escaped our memory until reminded of it.; But he did buth married one and worked for one and thereby got two fortunes.. Now if others would do as Mrs. ? Kinder has done, it would greatly help to keep history straight. Some day, some one will• /-take:. these, sketches and write a book, or - con dense them into sketches that would indeed interest readers. We' will now take up some school teachers. We can only mention' a. few who taught.in our part of ,the county The first teacher we - ever went to was Uncle Godfrey Click. That was before we were old, enough, we were a pet scholar. The next was S. A. Harris, whom we have -men? tioned. Then Henderson Livengood. And by 'ffie way, these two ; teachers were the onjy ones we- ever caught out in the old field praying during play hours. Then we went to John C. Turner, who recently died in Statesville, we remerhber the lar ger boys wanted him to give a Christmas treat. /He refused. They barred him out. when he said he was going home; they caught him, carried him down to the creek to duck him. He was,very humble, dust as they were ready to put hihi ln> father came along and made'the boys turn him loose,? ,Then?he told be was Pluck. And such a §r®tfwe^eyer saW1 He had it broujgh't outjffif' an °ld tobacco barn, H ew asa ypunfc man then and1 a good, one.; we al? ways honored and loved him. Then we went' to James Hudson Davidson Horn,; Martin- Miller anie! others. This was at Concord scho’oi —Augusta/as itIs;cffiied: n Then we went one year to Clay Hill seminary, as it was called by some. It was taught by Jacob Eation, one of the best teachers the county ever had,- And he did more to arouse the spirit of education than any man in the countv. Here is where we got acquainted with the Clement, Baily, Gaither, Hanes and many other boys in the county and in Witt9ton. He had two other sons, One was Joe. He had three or four girls. We knew two of them Sallie and Mattie. They were teachers, and*assisted their father in his day. They made teaching a life work. And two better women never lived. They were Christians. If there ever was a sanctified, sinless human in our knowledge, it was Sallie Eaton. And Mattie was also a good lady, They were character builders, and will have many stars in their crowns In glory.

With the IJnitsd States on - the brink of the great world war, the fact stands out clearly that foods and feedstuffs will all this year and probably to come be in de mand at higher prices than have been known for fifty years. War has always meant high prices foi the things we eat, and high as pi ices are now, actual war will probably put them higher still. Nearly-everyday prices on flour, meat, lard, hay and similar com moditie.s are marked up, and* the end is nowhere in sight. The situation affords a leasqn to points plaioly to bis ffuty. As we have many times pointed out. no farmer who does , not first of- all provide food for himself and his family and feed for his livestock is likely ever to get anywhere fioanci ally. And' now that food and feed prices are so high, we may as well consider not only amply supplying our own needs, but producing a surplus to sell. Hogs are now sell ing for fifteen cents a pound on foot, and nowhere in America can they be raised cheaper than right here in the Cotton Belt. Corn is bringing $1.40 a bushel, oats 80 centB, hay $18 to $30 a too, and Southern farmers have the coh ditions for producing these, at a lower cost than the Northern or Western farmer. The plain truth is that Southern farmers are face to face with the opportunity of a lifetime. Every thing they can and should produce, is high-priced and likely to remain so;, and for the farmer who farms right there should be few things to buy. Some cotton Bhould and will, be raised, and if we feed ourselves, our stock and our soils, what cot ton we grow will be clear cash. Will you, Brother Farmer, see and seize this golden opportunity? The time to decide is now.;—Pro gressive Farmer N Some !Good Advice. "Don’t think too inuch of your own nn^hnHa.'

S ilS PRESIDENT Must Supply Abundant Food Not Only Par O urselves, But Also For Large part of Nations With Whom Amerl- ca Has Made Common Cause. Washington.—In an appeal to all citizens of the country, President Wif- sun stressed the opportunity for the farmers of the South to "show their patriotism," which he said can be done in no better way “than by resisting the great temptation of the present price of cotton, and helping upon a peat scale to feed the Nation and the peoples everywhere Who are fighting for their liberties and our own.” The President's address follows: “My Fellow Countrymen: The en trance of our own beloved country into the grim and terrible war for democracy and human rights which has shaken the world, creates so many problems of National life and action which call for immediate considera tion and settlement that I hope yon will permit me to address to you a few words of earnest counsel and ap peal with regard to them. “We are rapidly putting our Navy apon an effective war footing, and are about to create and equip a great Army, but these are the simplest parts of the great task to which we have addressed ourselves. There is not a single selfish element, so far as I can see, in the cause we are fighting for. “We are fighting for what we, be lieve and wish to be the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world. To do this great thing worthily and successfully, we must devote ourselves to the ser vice without regard to profit or mater ial advantage, and with an energy an - intelligence that will rise to the level of the enterprise itself. We must realize to the full how great the. task is and how many things, how many kinds and elements of capacity and' service and self-sacrifice it involves. Things Nation Must Do. “These, then, are the things we must do, and do ■ well, besides .fight ing, the things without which mere fighting would be fruitless: ‘TVe must supply abundant food for ourselves and for our armies and our seamen, not only, but also for a large part of the Nations with whom we have now made common cause, in whose support and by whose sides we shall be fighting. “We must supply ships by the hun dreds out of our ship yards to carry to the other side of the sea, submarines or no submarines, that will every day be needed there, and abundant mater ials out of our fields and our- mines aad our factories with which, not only to clothe and equip our own forces on land and sea, but also to clothe and support our people for whom the. gal lant fellows under arms can no longer work, to help clothe and equip the armies with which we are co-operating in Europe, and to keep the looms antf manufactories there in raw material, coal to keep the fires going In ships at sea and in the frunaces of hundreds of factories across the sea; steel out of which to make arms and ammuni tion both here and there; rails for worn-out railways back of the fighting fronts locomotives and rolling stock to take the place of those every day going to-pieces; mules, horses, cattle for labor and for military service; everything with which the; peopde of England and France and ' Italy and Bussla have usually supplied them selves, but cannot now afford the men. the materials or the machinery to make. Industrial Patriotism. ‘It is evident to every thinking man that our industries oh the farms, in the ship yards, in ,the mines, in the factories, must be made more prolific and more efficient than ever, and that they must be more economically man ned and better adated to the par ticular requirements of our task than they have been; and what I want to ®ay is that the men and the women who devote their thought and their energy to these things will be serv ing the country and conducting the Bght for peace and freedom just as truly and just as effectively as the fflCn on the battlefield or In the trenches. The industrial forces of the country, men and women alike, will no a great National, a great inter national service army. * • * ♦ it The Supeme Test. ‘I take the liberty, therefore, of addressing this word to the farmers o£ the country'and bo,all who work- bn the farms: The supreme need of bur own nation M d the nations with which we are cooperating is ‘ am nundance of supplies, food supply especially for the present year, is d a ti v e .

May the . nation not count upon them to omit no step that will increase the production- of their land or that w ill. bring about the most effectual co-operation In the sale and distribution of their products? The time is short. It is of the most imperative Importance that everything possible be done and done immediate ly to make sure of large harvests. I call upon young men and old 'alike, and upon the able-bodied boys of the land to' accept aud act upon <thi3 duty, to turn in hosts to the farms and make certain that.no pains pnd. no labor is lacking In this great matter. , ,Appeal to South. “I particularly appeal to the farmers of the South to plant abundant food stuffs as well as cotton. They can show their patriotism in no better or more convincing way than by resist ing the great temptation of the present price of cotton and helping, upon a great scale, to feed the* nation and the peoples everywhere who are fight ing for their librties and our own. The variety of their crops will be the visible measure of their comprehen sion of their national duty. “The government of ,,the United States and the governments of the several states stand ready to co-oper ate. • They will do everything possible' to assist farmers in securing an adc-' quate supply of seed, an adequate force of laborers when they are most needed at harvest time and. the means of expediting shipments of fer tilizers and farm machinery, as well as the crops themselves, when har vested. The course of trade shall be as unhampered a s. It is possible. to make it, and there shall be no unwar ranted manipulation of the nation’s food supply by those who handle it on its way to the consumer.. This is our opportunity to demonstrate the ef ficiency of a great democracy, and we shall not fall short of it. “This, let me say to the middlemen of every sort, whether they are hand ling our foodstuffs or our raw mate rials of manufacture, or the products of our mills and factories, the eyes of the country will be especially upon you. This is your opportunity for sig nal service, efficient and disinterest ed. The country expects you, as it expects all- others, to forego unusual profits, -to organize and expedite ship ments of supplies of every kind, but" -especially of food, with an eye to the service you are rendering and in the spirit'of those who enlist In the ranks, for their peopie, not for themselves. I shall confidently expect you to de serve and win the-confidence of peo ple of every sort and station. To the Railroads. “To the men who run the railways of the country, whether they be man agers or operative employees, let me say that the railways ate the arteries of Ithe nation’s life and that upon them rests the immense responsibility of seeing to it that those arteries suf fer no obstruction of any kind, no In- efficeincy or slackened power- To the merchant, let me suggest the motto: ‘Small- profits and quick ser vice’; and to the shipbuilder, the thought that the life of the war de pends upon him. The food and -the war supplies must be carried across the seas, no matter how many ships are sent bo the bottom. The places of those that god down must be supplied and •supplied at once. To the miner, let me say that he stands where the farmer does; the work of the world waits on him. If he slackens or fails, armies and statesmen are helpless. He also is enlisted in the great service army. The manufacturer does not need to be told, I hope, that the nation looks to him to speed and perfect every pro cess, and I want only to remind his employes that their service is abso lutely indispensable and is counted on by every man who loves the country and its liberties . “Let me suggest, also, that every ,one who creates or cultivates, a gar den helps, and helps greatly, bo solve the problem of the feeding of the nations; and that every housewife who practices strict economy puts herself In the ranks of those who serve the na tion. This is the time for America to correct her unpardonable fault of wastefulness and'extravagance.

P R S G U i m BY WILSON Resident Aliens as Well as Citizens Owe Allegiance- to United States, Says PresidenL-Treason Is De fined. Washington.—All persons in the United States, citizens and aliens, are warned in a proclamation issued by President Wilson that treasonable acts or attempts to shield those commit ting such acts will be vigorously pros ecuted by the Government. . The proclamation defines treason, citing statutes, provisions of the Con-, stitution and decisions, of the courts, and declares that the acts described will be regarded as treasonable, whether committed within the bor ders of the United States or else where. Far-reaching . importance attaches to the direction of the warning to alienscand the declaration that “resi dent aliens as well as citizens owe allegiance to the United States” and therefore are equally subject to the laws against treason and like crimes. . Bomb plotters now may be' gripped with an iron hand. Not only are con spirators themselves subject to heavy penalties, but any one, even a Ger man resident, who has knowledge of treasonable acts and fails. to make known, the facts tp the authorities, may beeent fa prison- for. seven years and fined ¥1,000 for misprision of trea- EVERY POSSIBLE HONOR WILL BE ACCORDED VISITORS -Washington.—Major General Leon ard Wood, ranking officer of the act ive list of the army, was designated to represent the military branch of the government on the committee which will welcome to the United States the distinguished British war commis sion headed by Foreign Minister Bal four. The selection of General Wood is in line with the administration’s plains for according every possible honor to the high rank and notable character of Great Britain’s • commissioners. The .state department is represented on the committee -by Breckenridge Long,' third assistant secretary; the navy by Rear Admiral Fletcher, of the general board, and Commander E. F. Sellers, and the army by General Wood and Col. R. E. L. Michie. It was stated at the White House that the president had arranged to see the British visitors this week and the French. commissioners at the same1 •time, if they had recahed Washington'. The state department announced, how ever, that it was not certain when Mr. Balfour and his party would come, and that nothing definite was known con cerning the arrival of the French com mission. WHEAT AND FLOUR PLACED ON FREE LIST Ottawa—^The government has placed •wheat, wheat flour and semolina on the free list, thus opening the United States markets to Canada and Cana-' dian markets to the United States in these products. •' Plant Land in. Food Crops. Washington—Secretary Lane ap pealed to holders of land made valu able by government reclamation work to put all their available soil in food crops.. FLEET BASE AT HAMPTON ROADS IS RECOMMENDED Washington.—An . appropriation of $3,000,000 for- the-.acquisi tion of land and equipment tor a fleet operating base at Hampton Roads, Va., to be immediately available, was. recom mended to Congress by Secretary ; Daniles- “The $3,000,000,” Secretary Dan iels stated, “is urgently and immedi ately necessary for the acquisition of the Jamestown Exposition site, on Hampton Roads, Va., to be developed and equipped as a fleet operating base and to include a training station, submarine base ,aviation operating base, oil fuel storage, fleet storehouses, mine and net storehouses, torpedo storehouses, etc. The land can be pur chased for $1,400,000 and the immedi ate necessities are the training sta tion, the initial development to cost $1,600,000.” INDORSEMENT OF COURSE TAKEN BY UNITED STATES BY SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES GRATIFYING TO WASHINGTON. Ecquador, Venezuela and Colombia, Not Yet Heard From, Expected to Define Attitude. Washington.—Prompt endorsements from,South America of the action of, the United States in taking Germany's challenge to war are the source of great gratification to officials of the admlnistratino. ' There remained but three countries, Ecuador, Venezuela, and .Colombia, which had not defined., their positions, and It was . believed • that before the end. of this Week they,' too, would respond. With the exception of Costa Rica, none of the Central American group had declared its attitude, but no con cern over .where their sympathy will be placed has been felt a t the state department. So far Cuba is the only war spot in Latin-America, but the positions as sumed by Panama and, Costa Rica place them practically in the list of warring nations, and almost no doubt remains that Brazil will be at war within a few days. The only govern ments that have not been frank in their enrodrsement of the step taken by the United States are Chile and Perua, the former confining itself to a formal declaration of neutrality and the latter to “deploring” the fact that the United States had been unable to adjust her difficulty with Germany without recourse to war. Way They Line Up. Following is the way the other Latin-American nations, whose posi tions dre/deifined, were lined up: Cuba—Declared war against Ger many. Panama—Declared her readiness to assist in any way possible in the pro tection of the Panama Canal.- Costa Rica—Offered her ports and other territorial waters to the United States for war needs of the American navy. . Brazil—Relations broken with Ger many. , Bolivia—-Relations broken with Ger many. Uruguay—Endorsed the action of the United States and . characterized Germany’s submarine warfare as “an insult -to humanity.” Paraguay—Expressed sympathy with the-government of the United States “forced into war to rehabilitate the rights of neutrals.” Argentina—Endorsed the action of the United States as just and right. Mexico—Neutral. xState department-officials believe it possible that the government of Ecqur.- dor may'donslder itself bound to adopt a somewhat equivocal attitude because of a suggestion made several weeks ago that a conference of neutrals to be held at Montevideo to study means for bringing the war to an end. Guatemala’s proclamation of martial law was still regarded here as a pre cautionary step tken by President Es trada Cabrera, preliminary to a break with Germany., It was believed that Honduras, Salvador and Nicaragua, the remaining uncommitted nations of 'Central* America, are awaiting action by Gautemala and that they will an nounce their .positions immediately af ter Guatemala speaks. The United States has looked to Latin-America for Lioral support more than for material assistance, but there has been no disposition to undertake the very material assistance that might be rendered if it became, neces sary. The total peace strength of Latin-Amrica’s armies is only 334,000 men, but the potential power is sev eral times that, and reports from the South American republics have indi cated that no time will be lost in raising fighting forces to their full war strength. '■ MEXICO PROMISES STRICT NEUTRALITY. NOT A VOTE WAS RECORDED- . AGAINST THE BIG REVENUE AUTHORIZATION. DEBATE WRS ON l H PUNE Former War Opponents Demanded Record Roll Call. — Amendments , ., Confine Loans to Nations', at-W ar With Germany.- Washington.—With a Total absence.! of partisanship the. House, by a vote of 389 to 0, passed the Seven Billion- Dollar bill to finance the prosecution of the war. against Germany, including a loan of $3,000,000,000 to the Allies. Representative Meyer London, Social ist, of New York, .who has conscien tious scruples against war and appro priations for war, answered “present" when his name was called. Owing, to general pairs and absen tees only 389 votes were recorded for the bill, but both Democratic Leader Kitchin and Republican Leader Mann announced that all of their members would have voted affirmatively if they had been present. The formality of a roll call would have been dispensed with -if several members who voted against the war resolution had not in sisted upon having the opportunity of recording themselves In favor of pro viding money to; carry on hostilities now that the nation is at war. The bill authorizes $5,000,000,000 In bonds, of which $3,000,000,000 will be loaned to Entente countries, and the issuance of Treasury cerificates for $2,000,000,000 ultimately to be met by increased taxation. Passage of the measure never was in doubt during the two days it was ,under consideration In the House, and favorable action by. an overwhelming, vote is assured in the Senate, where - it was taken up Monday. It probably will be signed by the President this week. Chairman. Simmons of the Senate Finanfce Committee took up th e . bill with his committee Monday, and since, there is no opposition to it, expects to report it to the Senate at once. - Lead ers expect to keep it the unfinished business until passed. There will be no great opposition .on the floor, al though there may be some debate. The bill was not materially amended In the House, except for the inclusion of language specifically directing that the loans to foreign Governments shall be made during, and not. .after, the war and that the securities bought by this Government with proceeds of the vast loan shall be the securities of na tions fighting Germany. Other amendments adopted would prohibit the sale of the United States bonds at less than par and permit the purchase of, foreign bonds “at par.” INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE TO ASSEMBLE IN FEW DAYS. GERMAN CASUALTY LIST FOR MARCH REPORTED London.—German casualties as re ported in the.

Ready to Build Big Fleet. Washington.—The Administration’s program-for building a vast fleet of wooden carog ships to transport sup plies to the Allies and thus defeat the German submarine campaign was put definitely under way Monday, when the Shipping Board formed a $50,000,- 000 corporation to build and operate the vessels. STATES MAY ORGANIZE NEW GUARD UNITS Washington.—-Against the judgment of military experts as to the wise course in the present emergency, the war department was compelled - to re verse a previous ruling and announce that under existin glaw states have the right to organize new .units of the National ■ Guard. This opens the door to expansion of the existing guard force of about 125,00 Oto 400.000 at peace strength or more than 600,000 on war footing.'. •» . United States Officials Plan For Com ing of Commissioners. Washington.—With the assembly of the most momentous international confeernce ever held in this country only a few days distanL. officials of. several executive department sof the Government devoted themselves to making final preparations for greeting the. distinguished men Great Britain and France are sending here to dis cuss war problems. State Department officials directly responsible for the details of the arrangements^ conferred In an effort to have no marke of court esy lacking.' =S. Those familiar with official etlquet abroad say that the sending to this country of men like British Foreign Secretary Balfour, French Minister of Justice and former Premier Rene VivIani and General Joffre is almost without precedent. Not only does the trip here require much more very valuable time than the Various Euro pean war conferences, but it submits the high officials to real dangers from mines and submarines, experienced in !crossing to the continent. It is-known ' th at-tfce pjresent trip was taken only with the deepest foreboding quick ened by memories of the loss of Lord Kitchener. Committee of Welcome. The preliminary committee of wel come, consisting of Third Assistant Secretary Long, representing the State Department; Rear Admiral Frank P. Fletcher and Commander D. F. Sellers, representing the Navy and Col. Robert E. L. Michie, Lieut. Col. Spencer Cos by and Capt. John G. Quekemeyer, rep resenting the Army, is ready to leave for the port of arrival at a moment’s notice. The committee will welcome the commissioners. A formal recep tion will greet them here, in which the highest’-officials of the Government will participate. TAX SUGGESTIONS TO RAISE WAR REVENUE.

Legislation also probably will be proposed by. the administration giving the shipping board power to formally take over, the German merchantmen in American ports now in the custody of the treasury department. While it is conceded that the president would hav ethe right to take this step it is understood that a specific act' of Congress will be preferred.- First among the German ships .to be put into active service will be two of the fleet of 23 lying in Fhillippine harbors. The insular bnreau of the war department has secured permls- sion from the treasury depatment to hasten repairs on the machinery of the two vessels least damaged by the crews and it is expected that within two or three weeks' the ships will be Ioading1Manila hemp to be rusfled to the United States to prevent a failure of th supply of binding twine for the fanners for the crop of this season.

CHAPTER XXIII—Continued. —15— De Spain suspected nothing of what they were talking about, but he .was uneasy concerning Nan, and was not to be balked, by any combination, of Iiis purpose of finding her. To secure information concerning her was not possible, unless he should enter the house, and this,-with scant hesitation, he decided to do. He wore a snug-fitting leathern coat. He unbuttoned this and threw it open as he stepped noiselessly up to the door. Laying his hand on the knob, he paused, then, finding the door unlocked, he pushed it slowly open. The wind, rushed in, upset his cal culations and blew open the door lead ing from the hall into the living room. A stream of light in turn shot through the open door, across the hall. In stantly De Spain stepped inside and directly behind the front door—which he now realized he dare not close— and stood expectant in the darkness. Gale Morgan, with an impatient ex* clamation, strode from the fireplace to close the front door. As he walked into the hall and slammed the front door shut, he could have touched with his hand the man standing in the shadow behind it. De Spain, not hoping to escape, stood with folded arms, but under the el bow of his left arm was hidden the long muzzle of his revolver. ..Holding his breath, he waited. Gale’s mind was apparently filled with other; things. He did not suspect the pres ence of an intruder, and he walked back into the living room, partly clos ing the second door. De Spain, fal lowing almost on his heels, stepped past this door, past the hall stairs op posite it, and through a curtained opening at the end of the hall iato' the dining room. Barely ten feet from him, this room opened through an arch into the living room, and where he stood he could hear all that was said. “Who's there?” demanded Duke gruffly. . ’ • “Nobody,” said Gale. "Go on, Druel.” Druell talked, softly and through his nose: “I was only going to say it ajwould be a good idea to have two wit- ■' nesses.” “Nita,” suggested Gale. Duke was profane. “Tou couldn’t keep the girl in the room if she had Nita to help her. And I want it un derstood, Gale, between you and me, fair and square, that Nan’s goin’ to live right here with me after this mar riage till I’m satisfied she’s willing to go to you—otherwise it cai’t take place, now or never.” De Spain opened his ears. Gale felt the hard, cold tone of his crusty relative, and answered with like harshness: “What do you keep harp ing on that for? You’ve got my word.' AU I want of you is to keep yours— understand?” “Come, come,” interposed Druel. "There’s no need of hard words. But we need two witnesses. Who’s going to be the other witness?” Before anyone could answer De Spain stepped out into the open arch way before the three men. “I’ll act as the second witness,” he said. With a common roar the Morgans bounded to their feet. De Spain, standing slightly sidewise, his coat lapels flapped wide open, his arms akimbo, and his hands on his hips, faced the three in an attitude of read iness only. He had reckoned on the instant of indecision which at times, when coupled with apprehension, par alyzes the will of two men acting to gether. Under the. circumstances ei ther of the Morgans alone wouidhave whipped a gun on- De Spain at sight. Together, and knowing that to do so meant death to the one that took the first shotfrom the archway; each wait ed for the other; that fraction of a second unsettled their purpose. In stead of bullets, each launched curses at the intruder, and every second .that passed led away from a fight. De Spain took their oaths, demands and abuse without batting an eye.- ‘Tm here for the second witness,” was all he repeated, covering both DJen with short glances. Druel,' his face muddily white as the whisky bloat deserted it, shrunk inside his shabby clothes. De Spain with each epithet .hurled at hiin-tOQk a dreaded step toward Gale, and Druel, in the Hue of fire, brought his knees up and his head down till he curled like a porcupine. Gale, game as lie undoubtedly was, cornered, felt perhaps recollections of Calabasas and close quarters with the brown eyes and the burning face. What they might mean in this little room, which De Spain was crossing step by step, was food fo r1 thought. Nor did j)e Spain break his obstinate silence until their, burst of rage had blown. "You’ve arranged your mar- riage,” he said at length. “Now pull it.” “My cousin’s ready to marry Uiej Mid she’s goin* to do it tonight,” cried Gole violently. " ...,-V Duke, towering with rage. IooKed t>e Spain and pointed to the hall CQRyRifttrr cKAftLgg gqtrawes* joHS door “You hear that! Get out of my house I” he cried, launching a vicious epithet with the words. lThis isn’t your house,” retorted De Spain angrily. “This house is Nan’s, not yours.; ;When she orders me out, I’ll' go. Bring her down,” he thun dered, ■ raising his voice to shut off Duke, who had redoubled his abuse. “Bring her into this room,” he re peated, ,“We’ll see whether she wants to get married. If she does, I’ll marry, her. If she doesn’t, and you’ve been putting this up to, force her into marry ing, so help, me God, you’ll be carried out of this room tonight, or I will.” He whirled on her uncle with an accus ing finger. ‘ “You used to be a man, Duke. Tve taken from you here to night what I would take from no man on earth but for the sake of Nan Mor gan. She asked me never to touch you. But if you’ve gone into this thing to trap your own flesh and blood, your dead brother’s girl, living under your own protection, you don’t deserve mercy, and tonight you shall have what’s coming to you. Tye fought you both fair, too fair. Nbw—before I leave—it’s my girl or both of you.” He was standing near Druel. With out; taking his eyes off the other man, he caught Druel -with his left hand by the coat collar, and threw him half way across the room. “Get upstairs, you old carrion, and tell Nan Morgan Henry de Spain is here to talk to her.” Druel, frightened to d£ath, scrambled into the hall; He turned on De Spain, “i’m ah' officer of the law. I arrest you for trespass and assault,” he shouted, shaking with fear. “Arrest me?” echoed De Spain con temptuously. “You scoundrel, if you don’t climb those stairs, I’ll send you to the penitentiary the day I get back to town. Upstairs with your message I” “it isn’t fiecessary,” said a low voice in the hall, and with the words Nan appeared in the open doorway. .Her face was white, but there was no sign of haste or panic in It; De Spain choked back a breath; to him she had never looked in her silence so awe inspiring. He addressed her, holding his left hand out with his plea. “Nan,” he said, controlling his voice, “these men were getting ready to marry you to Gale Morgan. No matter how you,feel toward me, you know me well enough to know that all I want is the truth: AVas this with your consent?” She stepped into the line of fire be tween her cousin and De Spain, as.she answered: “No. You know I shall never marry any man but you. This vile bully”—she turned a little to look at her angry cousin—“has influenced Uncle Duke—who never before tried to persecute or betray me—into joining him in this thing. They never could have dragged me into it alive. And they’ve kept me locked 'up for three days In a room upstairs, hoping to break me down.” “Stand back, Nan.” If De Spain’s words of warning struck her with terror of a situation she could not control, she did not re veal it. “No,” she said resolutely. “If anybody here is to be shot, I’ll be first. Uncle Duke, you have always protect ed me from Gale Morgan; now you join hands with him. You drive me from this roof because I don’t know how I can protect myself under it.” Gale looked steadily at her. . “You promised to marry me,” he muttered truculently. ‘Til find a. way to make you keep, your word.” A loiid . knocking interrupted him, and, without waiting to be admitted, Pardaloe, the cowboy, opened the front door and stalked boldly in from the hall. If the situation in the room surprised him’, he gave no evidence of it. And as he walked in Nari disappeared. Par daloe was drenched with rain, and, tak ing off his ,hat as.-he crossed the room to the fire, he shook.it hard into the blazing wood. “What do you want, Pardaloe?” snapped Duke. Pardaloe shook his hat once more and turned a few steps so that he stood between the uncurtained window and the I light. “The creek’s up,” he said to Duke in his peculiarly slow, steady tone. .“Some of Satt’s boys are trying to.get the cattle ,out of the lower cor ral.” He fingered his hat, looked first at Duke, then at Gale, then at De Spain. “ Guess they’ll need a little help, sc I asked Sassoon to come over—’’ Pardaloe jerked his head in- dicatlvely toward the front. “He’s out side With some of the boys now.” “Tell Sassoon to come in here!” thundered Gale. = De Spain’s likt'arm shot out. “Hold on, Pardaloe; pull down that curtain behind you!” “ Don’t touch that ’ curtain, Parda loe !’’.shouted Gale Morgan.. “Pardaloe,” said De Spain, his left arm pointing menacingly and walking instantly toward him, “pull that cur tain or pull your gun, qiiick.” At that moment Nan, in hat and coat, reap peared in th e: archvfay:. behind De Spain. Pardaloe jerked down the cur tain and started for the door. De. Spain ■had backed .up ,again- i^top,- Porflas* toe," he called.. “My. men are. outside that door. Stand where you are,” he ordered, still enforcing his commands with his right hand covering the hoi- ster. at his hip. “I leave this room first. Nan. are you ready?” he asked without looking at her. • “Yes.” Her uncle’s face whitened. “Don’t leave this house tonight, Nan,” he said menacingly. . “You’ve forced me to, Unde Duke.” “Don’t ieave this house tonight.” “I can’t protect myself in i t ” “Don’t leave this house—most of all, with that man!” He pointed at De Spain with a frenzy of hatred, With out answering, the two were retreating into the semi-darkness of the dining room. “Nan,” came her uncle’s voice, hoarse with feeling, “you’re saying goodby to me forever.” “No; uncle,”' she cried. “I am only doing what I have to do.” “I tell you I don’t want to drive you from this roof,, girl.” A rush of wind from an opening door was the only answer from the dark dining room. ■ The two Morgans started' forward , together. The sudden gust sucked the flame of the living-room lamp up into the chimney and after a brief, sharp struggle extinguished it. In the confusion it was a moment be fore a match could be found. When the lamp was relighted, the Morgans ran into the dining room. The wind and rain poured in through the open north door. But the room was empty. Duke turned on his nephew with a choking curse. “This,” he cried, beside himself with fury, “is your work I” CHAPTER XXIV. Flight • De Spain, catching Nan’s arm, spoke hurriedly, and they hastened outside toward the kitchen. “We must get away quick,” he said as she buttoned her coat., And, knowing how she suf fered in what she was doing, he drew her into the shelter of the porch and caught her close to him. FU take you straight to Mrs. Jeffries. When you are ready, you’ll marry me; we’ll ihake our peace with your Uncle Duke to gether. Great God! What a “night! This way, dearie.” “No, to the stable, Henry! Where’s your horse?” “Under the pine, and yours, too. I found the pony, but I couldn’t find your saddle, Nan.” “I know where it’s hidden. Let’s get the horses.” “Just a minute. I stuck my rifle un der this porch.” He stooped and felt below the stringer. Rising In a mo ment with the weapon on his arm, the “This," He Cried, Beside Himself With Fury, “Is Your Work." two hurried around the end of the house toward the pine tree. They had almost reached this when a murmur unlike the sounds of the storm made De $pain halt his companion. “What .is it?” she whispered. He listened intently. Without speaking, he took Nan and retreated to. the cor ner of the house. “There is soYnebody in that pine,” he whispered, “waiting for me to.come after the horses. Sas soon may have found them. I’ll try it out, anyway, before ! take a chance. Stand back here. Nan.” . He put her behind the corner of the house, threw his rifle to his shoulder, and fired as nearly as he could in the darkness toward and just above the pine. Without an instant’s hesitation a pistol shot answered from the direc tion in which; he- had fired, and in another moment a small fusillade fol lowed. “By the Almighty,” muttered De Spain, “we must have our horses, Nan. Stay right here. I’ll try driving those fellows off their perch.” She caught his arm. “What are you. going to do?” “Run in on them from cover, wher ever I can find it, Nan, and push them back. We’ve got to have those horses.” “If ,we ,could only get away without a fight!” “This is Sassoon and his gang, Nan. You heard Pardaloe. . These are not your people. Tve got to drive ’em, or we’re gone, Nan.” “Then I go with you.” “Nan, you. can’t do it,” whispered De Spain energetically. “A chance bullet—”. She spoke .with, decision: “I go With you. I can use a rifle. Better both of us be killed than one. Help me up on this roof. I’ve climbed it a hundred times. My rifle is In my room. Quick, Henry.” • Overriding his continued . objec tions, she lifted',her foot to , his hand, put her second- foot on • De- Spain’s shoulder, gained the sloping roof,, and scrambled on her bands and knees up to the window of her room. A far-off peal of thunder echoed from the moun tains. Luckily, no flash had preceded it, and Nan, rifle in hand, slid safely down to the end of the lean-to, where De Spain helped her to the ground. He directed her how to make a zigzag advance toward the pine, and, above all, to throw herself flat and sidewise aiter every shot—and n o t. to fire often. In this way they advanced slowly but safely to the disputed point and then understood—the horses were gone. A fresh discharge of shots came from two directions—seemingly from the house and the stable. A moment later they heard sharp firing far down the gap—their sole avenue of escape. They withdrew to the shelter of a large rock familiar to Nan even in the dark. While De Spain was debating In his mind how to meet the emer gency, she stood at his side, his equal he knew, in courage, daring and re source, and answered his rapid ques tions as to possible gateways of escape. , The rain, which had been abating, now ceased, but-from every fissure in the mountains came the roar of rushing water, and little openings of rock and waterway that might have offered a chance when dry were now out of the question. In fact, it was Nan’s belief that before morning wa ter would be running over the main trail itself. “Yet,” said De Spain finally, “before morning we must be a long way from this particular spot, Nan. Sassoon has posted men at the neck of the gap—that’s the first thing he would do. I’ll tell you,” he said suddenly, as when after Iopg uncertainty and anx ious doubt one chooses an alternative and hastens to follow It. “Retreat is the thing for us, Nan. Let’s make for Music mountain and crawl into our cave till morning. Lefever will get in here some time tomorrow. Then we can connect with him.” Realizing that no time was to be lost, they set out on the long journey. Ev ery foot of the troublesome way of fered difficulties. Water impeded them continually. Nan picked their trail. But for her perfect familiarity with every foot of the ground, they could not have got to the mountain at all. When they got to the mountain trail itself they found their way swept by a mad rush of falling water, its deafen ing roar punctured by fragments of loosened rock which, swept downward from ledge to ledge, split and thun dered as they dashed themselves against the mountainside. On a pro tected floor the tWo stood *for a mo ment, listening to the roar of the cata ract that had cut them off their refuge. “No use, Nan,” said De Spain. “There isn’t any other trail, is there?” She told him there was no other. “And this will run all night. Henry,’? she said, turning to him and as if thinking of a question she wanted to ask, “how did you happen to come to me tonight when I wanted you so?’ . “I came because you sent for me,” he answered, surprised. “But I didn’t send for you.” He stopped, dumfounded. “What do you mean, Nan?” he demanded un easily. “I got your message on the telephone last night, In my office at Sleepy Cat, from a man that refused to give his name.” “I never sent any message to you,’ she insisted in growing wonderment. “I have been locked in a. room for three days, dearie. The IJord knows I wanted to send you word. Who ever telephoned a message like that? Was it a trap to get yon in here?” He told her the story—of the stren uous efforts he had made to discover the identity of the messenger—and how he had been balked. “No mat ter,” said Nan at last “It couldn’t have been a trap. It must have been a friend, surely, not an enemy.'- “Henry,” every time she repeated his name De Spain cared less for what should happen in the rest of the world, “what are we going to do now? We can’t stay here all night—and take what they will greet us with in the morning.” He answered her question with an other: “What about trying to get out by El Capitan ?” She-started in spite of herself. “It would be certain death, Henry.” “I don’t mean at the worst to try to cross it till we get a glimpse of daylight. But it’s quite a way over there. The question is, Can we find a trail up to where we want to go?” “I know two or three,” she an swered,' “if they are only nftt flooded.” The storm seemed to have passed, but the darkness was intense, and from above the northern Superstitions c&ine low mutterings of thunder. Com pelled to strike out over the rocks to get up to any of the trails toward El Capitan1 Nan, helped by De , Spain when he could, help, led the ascent toward the first ledge they could hope to follow on their dangerous course. The point at which the two climbed almost, five hundred feet that night up Music mountain is - still pointed out in the gap. No person, looking at that confused wall, willingly be lieves it could ever have been scaled in .the dead of -night Torn, brhised and exhausted, Nan, handed up by her lover, threw herself at last prostrate on the ledge at the real beginning of their trail, and from that vantage point they made their way along the east ern side of Music mountain for two miles before they stopped again to rest, It was already well after midnight. A favoring spot was seized on by De' Spain for the resting place he wanted. A dry recess beneath an overhanging wall made a shelter, for the fire: that he insisted on building, to warm Nan in her soaked plothing.. Xt was dan gerous, both realized, to start-a fire,; but thay concealed the blaze as best they could and took the chance—a. chance that more nearly than any that had gone before, cost them their lives. ! The mutterings above the moun tains now grew rapidly louder, and while the two hovered over the fire, a thunder squall, rolling wildly down. the eastern slope, burst over the gap. Nan knew even better than her com panion the fickle nature of a range storm, and understood uncomfortably well how a sudden shift might, at any moment, lay their entire path open to its fierceness. She warned. De Spain they must be moving, and, freshened by the brief rest they set out toward El Capltan. They had covered more than half the distance that separated them from the cliff, When a second thunderstorm seeming to rush In from the desert, burst above their heads. Drenched with rain, they were forced to draw back under a-projecting rock. In an other moment the two storms, meet ing in the gap, rushed together. As if an unseen hand had touched a thou sand granite springs above the gap, every slender crevice spouted a Stream that shot foaming out from the mountainsides. The soupd of mov ing waters rose in a dull, vast roar, broken by the unseen boom of distant falls, launching huge masses of water into caverns far below. The storm laden wind tore and swirled among WOMAN SIGK TWOJfEARS Could Do No Work* Now Strong as a Man.

Light ning, playing across the inky heavens, blazed in constant sheets from end to end of the horizon. Under it all the two refugees, high on the moun tainside, looked down on the flooding gap. .. Their flight was almost ended. Only the sheer cliff ahead blocked their descent to the aspen grove. Hardly a moment passed after they, had started until the eastern sky lightened before the retreating storm, and with the first glimmer of daylight the two were at the beginning of the narrow foothold which lay for half a mile be tween them and safety.

Greatly annoyed and humiliated, he regained his feet and spoke with a laugh to reassure Nan. Just as she answered not ;to worry, a little sing ing scream struck their ears; some thing splashed'suddenly close at hand against the rock wall; chips scattered between them. Prom beiow, the sound of a rifle report cracked against the face of the cliff. They were so startled, so completely amazed, that they stood motionless. De Spain looked down and over the uneven floor of the gap. The ranch- houses, spread like toys In the long perspective, lay peacefully revealed in the gray of the morning. He could discover no sign of life around any of the houses. But in another moment the little singing scream came again, the blow of the heavy slug against the splintering rock was repeated, the dis tant report of the rifle followed. “Under fire,” muttered De Spain. He looked at Nan. “We’d better keep moving,” he said. “Come! whoever is shooting can follow us a hundred yards either way.” In front of De Spain a fourth bullet struckJh e rock. “Nan,” he muttered, “I’ve got you into a fix. If we* can’t stop that fellow, he is liable to stop us. Can you see anything?” he asked, waiting for her to come up. “Henry!” She was looking straight down into the valley, and laid tier hand on De Spain’s shoulder. “Is there any thing moving on the ridge—over there —see—just east of Sassoon’s?” De Spain, his eyes bent on the point Nan indicated, drew her forward to a dip in the trail which, to one stretched flat, afforded a slight protection. He made her lie down,' and just beyond her-refuge chose ti point- where the path, broadening a little and rising, in stead of sloping toward -the outer edge, gave him a chance to .brace him self between two rocks.

The Uttle old man In the shabby suit that he was courteous to yesterday happened to be one of the directors of the company—the lucky guy.” (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The most common reasons for culti vating corn are defined in a new farm er’s bulletin of the United States de partment of agriculture, “Corn Culture In tlie Southern States,” as follows: (1) By cultivating the soil away from the row while the corn Is young It may retard the rate of growth and thus under certain conditions will fa vor the success of the crop. (2) By cultivating the beds between rows of furrow-plnnted corn to a level, the corn may be suddenly put within immediate reach of the soil's greatest fertility. This done at the right time will favor the greatest production of grain. (3) Weed destruction Is one of the most important functions of cultiva tion. Weeds are most easily de stroyed as they are coming through the surface of the ground. 'Through sur face cultivation will suffice at this time.' Whtfn weeds and grass are well started, not only Is- tnere a rapid ex haustion of the moisture and plant- food in the soil,, but the cultivation necessary .to remove them will often tlcally no moisture on its way to the surface can escape them. For this reason late cultivation for the sole object of conserving moisture is now considered Impracticable. When com Is planted in furrows, the early cultivation may consist of little more than burrowing the bottom of the furrows on both sides of the row. A harrow of the type shown in the ac companying Illustration may be used when the furrows are made with a lister. In this case the mules or horses walk upon- the beds, requiring but little attention, and one man is able to cultivate as many as five rows at n time. The. late cultivation of furrow-plttnt- ed corn consists in filling the furrows with soil from the beds. For this, disk cultivators are among the best. The leveling process may be done In one or more cultivations, and It may be delayed until It is' apparent that tlie corn Is about to start tasseling if the weeds do not become a menace. A loose, deep, rich mulch may thus be thrown about the stalks without any risk of damaging the crop and the corn be left well prepared to pass its most critical period after .leveling the land. ft DISK CULTIVATOR LEAVES LAND LEVEL. seriously damage Ihe crop by covering the corn and, when planted' on, or above the level, breaking Its roots. (4) When it Is desirable to supply commercial fertilizer to the growing crop, it is sometimes necessary to mis the application with the soil. , (5) Shallow early cultivation, by maintaining a loose soil mulch, will conserve soil moisture. Deep early cultivation, by permitting more air to enter, will dry and warm the soil about the corn. After corn is from two to three feet - high (varying with the width between rows), its roots so fill the soil th a t‘it is Believed that prac- MiXTURES FOR BABY CHICKS whatever other cultivations may be necessary In order to destroy weeds, should be (lone with surface cultiva tors which make it impossible to cul tivate deeply. Fertilizer distributing attachments, it Is. said, Can now be made for most kinds of corn cultivators and in a large portion of the Southeast ''their use should not only economize the time and labor necessary for distributing ferti lizer, . but should Also permit the farmer to apply tiie fertilizer in small quantities. In this way the danger of overestimating growth can be practi cally eliminated. BREATHE FREELY. Are your Nostrils CLOGGED? WkZ-UP mre> relief. Powder inhaled thru nostrils. No equal Ior catarrh .

CROSS, -Department of Horticulture, Oklahoma A. and M. College, Stillwater.) No farmstead is complete without that blessing to the home—the orchard and garden. This need not be an extensive tract of ground, but should be large enough to supply an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables throughout their sea son. Fruits may be grown for sum mer and winter use, and vegetables for summer and fall., In choosing varieties, always plan for a succession by choosing enrly, medium and late kinds. In vegetable growing this same end may be accom plished by successive planting of the same variety. Fruits and vegetables are an ever-welcome addition to our diet, and are easily within the means of all. if grown , at home. A little time and attention given to the garden and orchard'will pay well in health and contentment. ROTATION AID TO FERTILITY Kind of Crops Grown Must Be Suitable *0 Climate, Soil and Condition of. Markets;' A proper rotation, or change of crops, has much to .do with solt fertil- ; lty. In the most prosperous and long- j est organized communities definite I crop rotations are followed year after . year with little variation. The kind j of crops grown must of course be suit- •' able to the climate, the soil, and the market conditions, but there are cer tain essentials to be kept In mind. There should be one or more culti vated crops in every rotation so that weeds may be kept In check or eradi?' cated. Good' crops for this purpose are Irish potatoes, cowpeas or "soy beans, planted In rows, sorghum, and corn. . ” SAVE VALUABLE PLANT FOOD Straw, Grass, Cotton and Corn Stalks Should Be Plowed Under for Humus Supply. If you vnhte your farm at all,'don’t starve It by burning anything that c$n be plowed under. Straw, grass, cot ton and corn stalks—all those contain valuable plant food, .and to burn them is sheer waste. Besides, they, furnish valuable humug-inaking. material, and hurans is one of the greatest needs of the cotton belt. Even branches of trees and small 'logs can be well - used In stopping gullies. Burnnothing that has plant food in it, and your farm will bless you with bigger crops.—Progres sive Farmer. Died of Premature Old Age! How many times we hear of com paratively young persons passing away- when they should nave lived to be 70 or 80 years of age. This fatal work Is usually attributed to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys degenerate, it causes auto-intoxication. Thei more injuri ous ttie. poisons .passing thru the kid neys the quicker will those noble or gans be degenerated, and the -sooner they decay. It is thus the wisest policy, to pre vent premature old age and promote long life, to Ughten the work of the kidneys. This can be done by drink ing plenty of pure water all day long, and occasionally taking Anurlc, double strength, before' meals. This can be obtained at almost any drag store. Xon will find Annrlc more potent thap Ilthla for It dlsgolves nric add as water does sugar. VIRGINIA NEWS Axton, Va.—“I wish that all who suffer with lddney and bladder trouble might know the value of Anurlc ana the great relief it gives those who suf fer from such diseases. “Last May I was taken with almost constant and painful desire, the effort attended by severe pain and sudden stoppage. I continued to grow worse and weaker" each day. My friends begged me to have a doctor but I thought of Anurlc, which I had seen advertised, and sent for a trial pack age. These few tablets stopped the pain, then I sent for a dollar pack age, half of which entirely relieved me, ahd I feel that my general health was much improved, too. The other half was given to a friend and gave her great relief also. I will freely an swer any questions from those who suffer."—MBS. SALLIB B. HOLLAND. Send: Dr. Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel. Buffalo, N.

NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 25. 1917.NUMBER 41 DAYIE COUNTY 50 YEARS AGO. AMotlierofSixty-Two Ghildreni-T b e School Teacher* of Today . Not AU Competent. . These articles are being read. We told about our large family of 20 children and about Mrs. Life Foster's 14 at five births Aa aged friend told us today that he could beat that. He showed ns a clip ping which be says he has had 15 year.‘» He would not give it to us, so we copied it as follows: MOTHER OF 62 CHILDREN. Union Republican. A petition signed some time ago by 3,000 persons !has been presented to the Italian government asking for a pension of $360 per annum to be conferred on a woman named Maddalina Grannetta, who has given birth to sixty-two children, fifty- nine boys and three girls during her mar ried life. In nine years she presented her husband eleven sets of triplets, three groups of quadruplets, one group of six. and the other eleven came singly. She is 57 years old and incapable of work. Now, how does that strike you! The files of the Union Republican will show the date it wa3 first published, as the above gives it credit for the story. So, after all, history begets history. The friend who showed U3 the clipping is 84 years old. and is hale and hearty. He has all his first teeth except two, and one of them was extracted by mistake, and they are all sound. He does not drink coffee or liquor; he does not smoke or chew, and does not eat hog meat. He went through the Confederate war, and his name is J. C. Welch. Davie county did not have a college, bat with such teachers as the Eotons. the Tatums and a few others already men tioned, her people were just as intelligent and refined as those of other counties. They knew bow to attend to business, and to treat earh other as neighbors. Their teachers had been men and women of high moral character. The young men who wanted to go to college, went to de nominational colleges; Wake Forest, Da- didson, Trinity. A few went to the Uni versity. Then denominational.schoolajSJ^Ayore on a fiigher'm&af'plahe. '• TheTparentsde manded it. Now it is more as to the re putation a school has for numbers, equip* ment, etc. It seemed that students then had to study harder to, get through col lege than they do nowadays. Many of the young ladies were sent to Salem A- cademy to complete their education. On ly practical education counts. Sometimes boys and giris go through two or three arithmetics and then can't solve many every-day calculations without first look ing up the ruie, and then can’t. And as to English, very few of us know anything about practical grammer. Some day, we will write a sentence and see bow many of ten pupils of the eighth grade will give the same answer to two questions which we will ask them. Now, listen out for it. Alter one completes mathematics and grammer, they would do well to go to a 60 day school and study ,nothing only how to put into practice mathematics, and then 60 days to really learn practical Eng lish. College graduatds can learn things that would surprise them in such schools if the teacher is onto his job. Vfe have se^n it tested, even in Davie. We are writing about schools 50 years ago. contrasted with those of today. We suppose schools in Davie are like those in other counties. The work done in them now has not improved - in proportion to the cost of them. This is true of a'll schools. The fault is not in the children and school buildings, but in the. teachers and manafiers. The only remedy is bet ter teachers and managers, men and wo men of experience, those who. love the work. Teachers are born, not made; and managers should know what teaching is from experience. Becauseaboy or girl has gone through some school, and can get a first grade certificate even, is no guarantee that he or she can teach. And the imperfect work most of them do in the schoolroom, would not be accepted in ' any other kind of work—not even that of feeding pigs or breaking mule colts, much less that cf moulding human character and preparing the coming men and wo- men for the duties of life. Teaching,like preaching, should be a calling, and for 1'fe. Like some called preachers, most called teachers have been supplanted by school-made model teachers. And most of them are models, too. A model is a stnalV imitation of the real thing. We Med to have said, “we* have too many models in our pulpits and at the head of pur schools for the good of - the Wprldi But we won’t say it; for truth, even,tSoim times hurts. J. F. CLICK. Hickory, N. C. Pulpit Pyrotechnics. In the war that rent the country In t Jain a half century ago, it is recalled that some of the ruost fiery utterances were from the pulpits of the leading churches. And there were ministers safe and se cure from all bodly harm, who foamed at the mouth and. in lurid language denounced as craven cow-, ards every man who dared to lift his voice for peace. We were re minded of those old days when reading in the New York Times the reports of the sermons in Metropolitan pulpits on Sunday April I, Wehave notseeuinany newspapers sentiments so. violent expressed in language so bitter and extreme, ad came from the lips of men in clerical robes and profess ing to follow the teachings of the Prince of Peace. These ministers represent the BaptiSt. Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregational churches of New York city. We have observed here and there these outbursts of patriotic fervoi in North Carolina. Brethern here and there advocate the draping of pulpits with the dag, and express themselves in favor of making re- cruting stations of their pulpits, and of urging the young men in their congregations to enlist. We deeply deplore this tendency a-. moog certain of our ministers and desire to give our hearty endorse ment to the following which we clip fro m a sane and timely editor ial in tne Presbyterian Standard of last week: ‘ As a minister in the pulpit he has no other message than the mes sage of the Gospel. BLis commissi on does not go beyond that. As a citi2en;h9;w£ver,he»0we8/-t^ mon with all men, certain duties to the state, and should use bis influence in every way to uphold our President and to arouse his fellows to patriotic duty. In pub lic mass meetings he ishonld it he sees lit, make his voice and bis in fluence felt. W hen he stands with in the pulpit, however, he stands there as the ambassador of Jesus Christ to call men to repentance and to place before them Gods plan of reconciliation. To turn from this royal duty to any at tempt to arouse men to their duty to the state is like taking the crown from the head ol Christ and putting it upon the bead of Caesar. We are trying to write without passion and with due respect to the opinions of others, but as friend of the ministry and as one who is jealous for the diginty, the influence and. usefulnesss of the preachers of the Gospel, we hope che claims of Caesar will not be al lowed supercede the claims of Christ; and that the ministers Ol North Carolina will not only preach the Gospel in its purity and pow er (which the Lord knows we need in these days of passion) but that they will set us the example of tolerance, aud patience, and ehari cy in this time tnat tries men,8 sonls. Christ said, Love your enemies” He also said, “Do good to them that persecute you.” He also said, “If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he' thirst give him drink” . But this is gospel-not patriotism. This spells, peace not war. O man of God, remember your commission!—Chairty, and Children. What Has Been The Trouble. The trouble about standing up for American rights Is that it has ^een 80 long since we had any that is rather hazy as to what they aFes-Creedniopr TimesNews- The Reed Law. Everything that glitters is not gold. TLe Beed law looked good to prohibitionists from a distance but it will not bear close- inspect ion’ Congressman Webb is one of the strong lawyers of the Honae and the foremoBb champion of pro hibition in .our public life He •‘ays that th e ‘‘bone dry” law is not bone dry at all but lias a loop hole big enongh to satiefy the crav ing of all those, who thirst after tne ardent. “The law,” Mr. Webb says, “positively will not prohibit a man from carrying whiskey into dry territory in his personal bag- gae, or even in his pocket. Neith er does the law prevent a man in North Carolina ‘from writing .to Baltimore or any other placewhete rum is served to the thirsty way farer, and ordering a quart, stipul ating, of course, that said quart is for medical purposes.” A physi cian’s prescription is not necess ary. AU whiskey dealer needs is the simple statement that the liqor is for medical purposes. Suppose it is a lie-which it will be how are we going to prove it? Temperance people hoped for better things from this Beed law. If Mr. Webb’s construction of it is true, it adds practically nothing to our North Carolioa piohibition law, and it U not operative in states that have no prohibition legislation. We had hoped also that there would be less use for our Auti-Saloon League organization after J uly 1st, odt we will need it as much as ev« er—perhaps more—for the Eeed fiasco will embolden the liquor people rather than discourage .them. If the Jate Legislature had Sand In a serious way they could dried the state, but they preferred not t^ do so. We will have to keep up the agitation for two years more, when we hope for a Legislature friendly to the prohibition cause.—Chairty and childred, Don’t Judge By One Act The talk of political vengeance to be wreaked upon the Senators and;Representatives who voted a gainst the declaration of war is en tirely natural—but it will proablj fail fa materialize into effective ac tion* unless the precedents are over thrown. In 1898 Senator Eugene Hale of Maine was conspicuous in opposing the idea of war with (Spain; so much so, indeed, that he was facetiously referred to in Washiogtou as“the Senator fiom Spain” . His State was eager for war; go was the country, as the event proved; ancLthere was much talk theu that Senator Hale was to be punished politically. Tet the next January he was re-elected. The Republicanscf Maine recog nized that he had acted upon his convictions. They recognized, too. his'great service in the Senate ana his ;worth to them there.

Why A Bny Should Stick to The Farm. •' The following article was written by Allen Grant, and won first prize in the contest: ‘ My geography tells me that the greatest industry of the United States is farming. This one reason alone seems to me enough to make boys stick to the farm, as they want to be engaged in big things. And we know to make a success of any thing we have to stick to it. In the country we have fresh air. good wa ter. wholesome food, (don’t have to live out of paper bags), and the right kind of exercise, therefore have bet ter health. Sb if'to be on the farm means better health, why not stick to it. Then again, the country boys are freer from temptations; they don’t get the coca-colas and other such driuks, but it is cold ,.water, which my old grandmother tells me is better than all of the pop doiiis. They hnow nothing of the gamb ling den, the dancing hall and the card table and many other things that he only knows by name. One may make more monny in the city but he has to spend more. After his board and laundry is paid, and the movies taken in every night he does not clear any more than the average farm boy. There is a great talk now about the high cost of liv ing, but it is not keeping the farm boys broke. With wheat $2 15 a bushel, corn $1.30, and eggs 25c. a dozen what does he care if sugar is 10c. a pound. , The farmer has modern conven iences as well as the city folks, such as well kept sand-clay roads, tele phones, watei1 works and electric lights are also being installed. We have good schools over the country, and they are getting better every year There is more freedom and genuine pleasure to be had on the farm than anywhere. After work ing hard through the week, we look forward to the. Saturday evening ball game, the hunt or the fishing party, etc. You may laugh at this, At a big meeting of the citizens of but we boys have had quite a lot of Iredell county at Statesville a few fun this winter going from barn to days ago, a number of speeches barn and from granary to granary were made by enthusiastic citizens, j killing rats Dr-Raynal,; a Presbyterian pastor,! There is lots of hard work of course, had the following to say: r but “man must live by the sweat of "Dr. Raynal thinks this the great- his brow.” you know, and “power Some of the greatest folks of the land.soeially, at least-have decided to cut down their clothing bill tins year and wear common things. The Record man has decided that he will follow suit, letthe jingoes'do as they see fit. Judge Boyd submitted a few re marks in Statesville last week in re gard to how our citizens should con duct themselves during times of war, and his remarks were all to the good. Everymanshould stand up and defend “Old .Glory” at ail times, but more so now than*ever before. The Record is glad to note that .the attendance at the prayer services are on the increase. The congregation at the Baptist church on Thursday night was at least double that of what it was a few weeks ago. It is hoped that the services at all the churches will continue to draw larg er crowds. est hour in the history of the world for 2,000 years. He said that the young man who gives his life in the impending struggle will be doing more than any preacher who gives his life to the ministry or any mii- of the brain depends upon hardness of ihe muscles.” Now, in conclusion, I want to quote a few liues of the Progressive Farmer, a dear old paper we faim boys enjoy reading much better than sionary who carries the gospel to j the dime novel: those who have it not. He also said They sing of the glories of the man that the best thing that could hap pen would be for German Zeppelins to bombard some of our cities to wake our people up.” The Record gives the above to its readers without comment. New Baptist Church. For many years the Baptist breth- ern have talked of building a new church here, but something has al ways happened to prevent a start being made.

EDITED BY * BERTHA MARION LEE. ' What should be the attitude of the Church to disease? The attitude of the Church should be the attitude of Christ. David Livingstone sail: “God’s only Son was sent to earth as.a Missionary—Physician. It is some thing to be a follower in the wake of-the Great Teacher and only model Missionary that ever appeared among men,” In the United States there are fifty thousand unnecessary deaths every month. The Government is doing much in the way of prevention. The Church ' must help. We must recognise that there aie among us diseases about which our peo ple desperately need teaching. The ad vance in modem medical science “has transformed the problem of the social evil from one of morals mixed with prud ishness to one of burning practical im portance in which religion and science mingle.” The social diseases are among tbe heaviest causes of infant mortality. A terrible scourge of the innocents brought about by evil not only unnecessary, but absolutely inexcusable needs to be dealt with rigorously by law." We need “representatives of the peo ple” at Raleigh who will not perpetuate a vile and cowardly law that makes a ten- year-old girl sole guardian of her virtue. We need editors for our religious papers who are not too conservative to reprint and comment favorably upon such articles as that written by Mrs. Sills and printed in some of our secular papers. We need a stroug public sentiment that would make it impossible for a woman church worker or society leader to dress immodestly and not lose caste. A public sentiment that would cause abhorance toward a creature calling himself a man who boaststhat all women like best the men who sow plenty of wild oats. Most of all we need women who ate brave enough and men who are decent enough to insist upon the ,same standard of virtue for man and woman, “Thou shalt not commit adultery" was in tended for both sexes. The Christian re ligion stands for that or nothing. But theories of religion and of Government, unless backed by decent people and en forced bv correct thinking and acting, will amount to little. "Be ye DOERS of the word and not hearers only.” Bryan’s Warniag Not Heeded. The Detnocratie senators and members who are tempted to vote for big military and naval appropri ations should remember that its ex cessive appropriations for prepared ness nearly cost it an election. The party was’saved from defeat by the section that favored peace—not pre paredness,—Bryan’s Commoner. Progressive Ticket Suggesled- Mr Editor:—Tlease allow me space in your paper to suggest a nonpartisan and progressive ticket for onr town government this next term. As we all know, opr town as compared with other towns and surrounding country, is a- back number and has been for years. This is an admitted fact by all who know us. And we are kuown to all by this particular fact. Our town government is dominated by men who are opposed to any kind of progressive measures, which is shown by their past record. There fore we cannot hope for anything propressive from them. Now we, the voters of this town, irrespec tive of partisan politics, can change this hundred year, back member to a live, progressive business town in which we all would be prqud to live, and rear our children. We can ^o this by nominating and electing the fo.lowing gentlemen who, I believe, are above petty politics, and have the welfare of tbe town at heart: For Mayor—A. T. Grant, Jr. ,ForCommissioners—G. E- Horn, G. G. Walker, E. P. Crawford, Charlie Thompson. A VOTER. Only Two Privates. Capt. Frank Brown of Salisbury, veteran of the War Between States, wrote Seuator Overman and offer ered his services to the country as a private soldier. Replying to the letter Senator Overman writes that Captain Brown and Colonel Bryan are the only two offering for ser vice as a private, adding that “ you ai d Mr. Bryan will have a happy time being commanded by about 4,000 officers.”— Ex.

' for Your Convenience. A80UT_fHE WORLD A Condensed Record of Happening* of Interest From AU Point* of the World. Domestic A nation-wide advertising campaign -ot extraordinary proportion^ has been decided upon by Secretary of the Treasury IIcAdoo as the most effective means of disposing quickly-of the five billion dollar bond issue soon to be ottered to the public. After a quarrel over the war with his mother-in-law, a native of Ger many, and his wife, Rev. Robert F. Perry, pastor of a Yonkers, N. Y., Ccngregational church, shot and killed both women, wounded his sister-in-law and then committed suicide. Prominent party leaders (Progres sive and Republican) held'a meeting iu New York and issued a statement pledging • support no President Wil son in the administration’s war plans, and went a step further and urged the adoption of measures which they said Chey believed to be immediately nec essary. The deadlock, in the balloting for bishop of the Episcopal diocese of At lanta (Ga.), to succeed the late Cle- Iand Kinloch Nelson, was broken on the seventeenth ballot, when the Rev. Robert Sanders Coupland of New Or leans was elected. Rrominent instructors in economics in the United States, in a memorial forwarded from Minneapolis, Minn., to each member of congress and the pres ident and his cabinet, urge the adop tion of the policy of taxation rather than that of bond, issues.as the prin cipal means of meeting the expendi tures of this country in the war. Secret codes containing a cipher, order to dismantle machinery on in terned German liners upon the sever ance of diplomatic relations by the United States were discovered on the German steamships Prinz Oskar and Rhatetia, according to W. H. Berry, collector of the port of Philadelphia. It is announced that when interned liners are made seaworthy they be. placed in trans-Atlantic merchant serv ice. Figures compiled by the Anti-Saloon League show that 142 saloons were voted out of business , in elections in- various cities and towns of . Illinois. The drys won in fourteen wet cities and towns, but lost three dry towns. Michigan’s $5,000,000 war loan bill has been-signed by Governor Sleeper.- The bill also creates a state war pre paredness board. The war was brought to the shores of the United States when the destroy er Smith reported by radio that an enemy submarine had triedmnsuccess- fully to torpedo her' 100 miles south of New York. Recruiting figures for the regular army made public by the war depart ment show that more than enough men to form a regiment are being ob tained daily. For the five-day period, April 11 to 15, a total of 7,171 men • were recruited, a daily average of 1,434. Detailing of army officers tq educa tional institutions for military in struction work is ordered discontin ued by the war department, with the suggestions that students of military age can«best serve their country by joining the army or navy. I The white house is about to join the increased fo.od production move ment by planting a garden of its 6wn In which President Wilson may wield a hoe when he finds a spare moment. The assistance of the department of agriculture will be asked in select ing seed for the land. The Minnesota legislature passed a bill, which has been signed by the gov ernor, providing a commission of pub lic safety for the duration of war. The bill carries an appropriation of one million dollars to be used for war purposes. Washington The government’s program for food control during the war was put be fore congress by Secretary Houston in a communication to the senate ask ing power for the department of. agri culture to take direct supervision Of food production and distribution in the United States and requesting a $25,- 000,000 appropriation for putting the Plan into operation. President Wilson probably will name 1Within a few days a group of distin guished Americans to confer with members of the Russian durna anent rflC war with Germany. That, in the inability of the nation to supply men at once for the fight- mg line, money should be America’s immediate contribution to her allies, was the dominant thought expressed curing the debate on the war. finance bill in the senate. Market grades and classes for farm Produce, according to the agricultural department, is one of the chief needs of the country to insure proper condi tions in producing and marketing- of farm products. Auy one who has knowledge of a treasonable act and" fails to make known the facts may be sent to prison or seven years. The United States u. war is in a very different position com a neutral. The iron hand will 6 applied to' any form of treasonable terance, deed or suppression' o t In formation. of A message to the state department announces that members of the Amer ican -colony are preparing to leave Constanlinople.

The agricultural department asks congress to require of transportation companies preference for the move ment of farm machinery, seeds, fertil izers and materials that enter into the processes of food production. Approximately three thousand Ger man residents of the-United States are under close surveillance, depart ment of justice officials announce, be cause of their- activities in behalf of the German government before the United States entry into the- war or because of their pro-German sympa thies. The senate has recorded itself in fa vor of a press censorship .during the wan Frrs.tcall to the. country for war finances will be made. Secretary Mc- Adoo announces, as soon as the seven billion dollar bill becomes law. The war finance bill, providing for issuance of $7,000,000,000 in securities —the largest single war budget in any nation’s history—was passed uahi- mously by the senate. George Bakmeteff, Russian ambas sador to the United States since 1911, cabled the provisional government at Petrograd that he..has decided to re linquish iris office and asks that some one be named to take charge of the embassy. European War The British hospital ships Donegal and Lanfranc, with many wounded aboard, among which wefe many Ger mans, were torpedoed without warn ing, April 17. On the Donegal twenty- nine wounded men and twelve of the crew are missing. Of those aboard the Lanfranc nineteen British and fifteen Germans are believed to have perished. It is reported that another big bat tle is brewing on the western front. Both sides are preparing for the bat-, tie, and -it may have an important bearing on future war -movements. The French are apparently prepar ing for a big infantry drive, as that branch of the allied army has been incessantly pouring shrapnel into the German positions along the Somme and the Oise. In the Champagne district the Ger mans are still -holding on, but it is reported by way of Paris that every Teutonic sortip is repulsed with heavy losses. Steady progress is being made by the troops of General Nivelle in driv ing back the Germans in the region of Soissons and Rheims. Since the beginning of the French offensive in the westf more than nine teen thousand prisoners have been taken from the Germans. General Maude, commanding the British forces in Mesopotamia, has forced a passage of the Shatt-el-Ad- hem, attacked the Turkish main posi tions. and completely routed the Turk ish forces. The British operating in Egypt have advanced to formidable positions north of the. Wadi-Ghuzze. The great offensive of the French army against the Germans from the bend in the line in France from Sois- sons eastward into the Champagne continues unabated. In three days’ fighting more than seventeen thousand unwounded prisoners have fallen into the hands of the French, together with seventy-five cannon. The British war office reports that the forces of Field Marshal Haig have gained additional ground along the River-Scarpe, to the-east of’Fampbux, and also captured the village of Vil- liers-Gaislain, north of St. Quentin. Popular feeling against Germany in Brazil is reported. German newspapers have suspended publication, and the German flags have been taken down. Several big German business establish ments are reported destroyed by fire. Russia has forwarded assurances to the United that under no conditions now conceivable will the provisional government of Russia yield to the overtures from German and’ Austrian Socialistic representatives to negotiate a separate peace. The entente diplo mats frankly confess a great sense of relief. General von Bissing, -governor gen eral of Belgium since German occupa tion, and who became notorious be cause of his consent to the execution of Miss Edith Ca veil, an English nurse, is dead. A Madrid, Spain, dispatch says that th Spanish steamship . Tom was torpe doed and sunk without warning, en tailing .the loss of eighteen lives. The emperor an d . empress of Aus tria prayed for peace in St. Stephen’s church, while the people sobbed. • Prince Ziaed-Din, heir apparent to the TurHsh throne, ,arriving at the German main headquirters, presented Emperor William a sword from the sultan “as a sign of the royal com radeship in arms of the allied armies and in recognition of the deeds..of the German.army". The prince pro ceeded to the western front. ONE HUNDRED PER GENT AMERICAN m (Copyright) VISITORS HERE FOR 1 S T IfO R T lT GOHFEREIiGE IN HISTORY OF THE Some Of Empire’s Most Prominent Men, Headed By Foreign Minister Arthur J, Balfour, Arrive ToTake Part In War Coun cil To Convene In Washington As Soon As France’s Repre sentatives Arrive—Port Of Arrival Kept Secret. With the Balfour Party,—Great Brit-- ain’s high commissioners to the inter national war council -to begin in Wash ington. ithis week set foot on. American soil and made their way to the capi- tal. Arthur James Balfour, secretary of state for foreign affairs of -the empire, formerly premier and often called, the dean of the world’s elder statesmen, was the central figure of a party Riat included some of Great Britain’s most pnomient men. With a genial smile playing over his features, he consent ed -to a brief interview, warmly ex pressing his appreciation of all . the United States has done as, a neutral in charitable and relief work in Belgium and German prison camps, his gratifi cation that England and the United States now were allied for a common purpose, and his conviction that this, country in its war efforts would as tound the world, particularly Germany. The object. of the commission, Mr. Balfour said, was to “make co-opera tion easy and effective between those who are striving with all their power to bring about a lasting peace by the only means -that can secure it, namely, a successful war. “Your president,- In a qpost apt- and Vivid phrase.” Mr. Balfour added, “has proclaimed that the world must be made safe for democracy. That self-governing communities are not to be treated as negligible simply because they are small, that the ruthless dom ination of one unscrupulous power im perils the future of civilization and the liberties of mankind are -truth of polit ical ethios which the bitter experience of war is burning into the souls of all freedom-loving peoples.” Received With honors. England’s leading statesmen, hav ing safely evaded the German subma rines and mines which sent Lord Kitch ener to his death,, were received, with ■the highest honors as guests of the American people when they arrived at a place in America which canno-t be named. A delegation of state, war and navy department officials wel comed the commission in the name of the Government, and set out with them to the capital for what is admittedly the most vital conference in American history. » ■. % The commission was received with the utmost simplicity and cordiality, ■and with every recognition of the fact that Great Britain had given of’ her very best. It is said, indeed, that no foreign' m inister’has- left England-for the ’length of time that Mr. Balfour will be away since the Congress of Vienna a century ago. ~ The forma welcome was extended by Third Assistant Secretary of State Breckinridge Long, through the pre sentation to Mr. Paifonr of a letter Rear Admiral Sir Dudley de Choir and and Rear Admiral F. F. Fletcher wefe soon in deep conversation on the va rious phases,pf American, .participa tion. On all sides it was reiterated that the British had'come in a spirit of sen, vice and appreciation, and • that it wps -their hope that lessons they had learned an the war at such cost might be of service to -this country in avoid ing similar mistakes. Similarly, as one official expresed it, the commission was moved by exactly the same feel ings which raised the. Sbars and sStripes to the flag tower of -the. Parliament building in London for the first time a foreign flag has ever flown there in history. Secretary Balfour, a tall, slim, white-haired man of 69 years has held the highest posts in the empire; since he first entered parliament 43 years ago, saw today the completion, of one of his, lifiuhopes expressed under vast ly different circumstances on January 15, 1896, when he was largely instru mental in averting war between Eng land and America over the Venezuela dispute. NATION-WIDE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN DECIDED UPON. Best M.eans of Disposing of War Bonds. Department Flooded With Offers. Washington.—A nationwide adver tising campaign of extraordinary pro portions has been decided upon by Secretary. McAdoo as the most effec tive means of disposing quicHy of the $5,000,000 bond issue soon to be offer ed to the public. So many patriotic offers of aid have poured into the Treasury Department recently that practically every method of publicity in the country will be at the Government’s disposal, without a charge, in helping to make the issue a success. Newspapers, magazines, street car advertisements, even the billboarks, soon may be proclaming the issue in big type and summoning every Ameri- ' can to his duty'to his country by sub scribing. Large advertising agencies have offered their services, - free of cost, in writing the advertisements and otherwise assisting in the cam paign. Many newspapers have opened theiT advertising columns, without charge. Officials’ have’ welcomed such' offers and expect others of a similar nature. There will be no general campaign of paid advertising, it was said authori tatively, nor the incurrence of any items of expense whatever that are I not absolutely essential.

DETAILS TO BE GIVEN OUT Amount of Loan and Other Matters Concerning Loan Will Be Made Pub lic in a Few Days by Secretary McAdoo. Washington. — The first Ambrican loan to the Allied Nations will go ,to Great Britain. The amount and other details- prob ably will be made public by Secretary McAdoo within a few days. Whatever the sum, the amount will be available out of the proceeds of the $5,000,000,000 bond issue soon to be offered to -the public, of which $3,000,000,000 will be loaned to- the Allies. Announcement to this effect was made at the treasury department after a day crowded with conferences be tween Secretary tyteAdoo and Federal Reserve Board officials and American bankers and bondholders and official representatives of Great Britain and- France. Another development was the announcement -that the size of the first issue of bonds authorized under the $7,000,000,000 war finance measure will depend largely upon the immedi ate needs of the Allies. Reports as to this have yet to be received^ in detail. The entire $5,000,000,000’ of author ized bonds will not be offered in one lump sum, according to present ten tative plans, but probably will be call ed- for in several installments or issues. By this course, it is believed that financial disturbances which might re sult were the country called upon to absorb the whole issue at once, will be averted. Details as to the amount of the first issue, its distribution among the Allies, the character and terms of the bonds, methods of disposing of them, and other questions will engage the atten tion of the treasury department and Federal Reserve Board officials during the next ten days.*The first of these conferences began with the visit of Lord Cunliffe, Gov ernor of the Bank’ Of England, upon Secretary McAdoo and Governor Harding of the Reserve Board. Nego tiations will be conducted with a view to disposing as rapidly as possible of details so -that the bond issue may be offered without delay.

There was no music to greet the rieitors, -the original plan, including the presence ot the Marine Band, hav-. tng been amended to conform to the view expressed by President Wilson and Secretary Lansing that this was a grave and serious event In American history, and not to be lightly treated, or regarded as a social affair. pn the Union Station plaza wer% gathered some 5,000 people waiting patiently for a glimpse at the nation’s guests, restrained at a,proper distance by hundreds of blue-coated policemen ond by two troops of the Second cav alry, commanded by Colonel Fenton, part of the garrison at nearby Fort Myer- Within the station lines had been drawn separateing' the traveling pub lic from the space at the eastern end ot the concourse across which the visiting party was to pass on the way from,the train shed to the presi dent's room.

ASKS FOB IW m o r a u M Secretary Houston In Communication With Senate Asks For $25,000,000 • to Put Plan Into Operation.—Wants to Fix Prices. Washington. — The Government's program for food control during the ■war was put before Congress by Sec retary Houston In a communication to the Senate asking- power for the Department of Agriculture to take direct supervision of food production and distribution in the United States and requesting a $25,000,000 appropri ation for putting the plan into opera tion. Authority was asked for the Council of National Defense, in an emergency, to buy and sell foodstuffs and to Jix minimum or maximum prices. As outlined to the Senate, the Gov ernment’s plan is first to make a com plete survey of the country’s food distribution, then if necessary to license and control the operations of Si] concerns engaged in the manufac* Im of M or implements and all materials required for agricultural purposes. Authority is sought for the Agricultural Depart ment to take over and operate the concerns if it appears at any time tlhat course is demanded by the public in terest. Giving the Government power to deal directly In foodstuffs probably would make its application unneces sary, Secretary Houston declared, as its very existence would tend to keep conditions' normal. Market grades and' classes for farm products, Secretary of the country to insure proper condi tions in producing and marketing farm products, Authority also was asked for the Department to require of transporta tion companies preference -for the movement of farm machinery, seeds, fertilizers and materials that enter into the processes of food production. The Department wishes to allow its market service division to assist In obtaining rerouting of foodstuffs to , relieve congestion on transportation lines. In its plan for an investigation of the present food supply, the Agricul tural Department has arranged for the. help of the Federal Trade Com mission, which, with the Department, was directed by President Wilson early in the year to make an inquiry to ascertain the amount of food stocks end determine if the anti-trust laws have been violated in food produc tion, storage and distribution. As soon as Congress makes the necessary ap propriation for this BpeciflQ inquiry, the Trade Commission will proceed. Some official^ believe . the Trade dofiktnission has enoflgh power to make unnecessary the use of extreme legislation in regulating the control of food, although additional powers should be given for an emergency.

HME TO OPEN H lE Wheels Must Be Kept Turning.— Prosperity is Needed More In War time Than in Peace Say National Defense Council. «. I ■ Washington.—Warning to the nation against a real danger in hyste'rical and ill-advised economy and interference with normal pursuits of the people, is given by Howard E. Coffin, of the Ad visory Commission of the Coimcil of National Defense, in a statement just made public.J Just returned from a trip through several Middle Western States, Mr. Coffin deplores the fact that condi tions of unemployment and close fac tories should arise as a result of in- discriminative efforts, public and private, toward war time economies. "After nearly three years of re fusal to take the European war and its lessons seriously,” Mr. Coffin said, "we suddenly launched forth in a most feverish actlcity to save the country overnight. Patriotic organi zations almost without number are tentions are good, the results are oft en far from practical. “Because of an impending and pos sible shortage of foodstuffs, we have hysterical demands for economy in every line of human endeavor. Waste is bad, but an undiscriminating econ omy is worse. ’■'Some states and municipalities are stopping road building and other public work. General business is be ing slowed down because of the emo tional response of the trading public to these misguided campaigns for economy; Bavlngs are being with drawn from the hanks; reports show that some people have begun to hoard food supplies and thousands of workers are being thrown needlessly out of employment. All this is wrong. “We need prosperity in wartime even more than when we are at peace. We need more business, not less. There is real danger in hysteria. In discriminate economy will be ruin ous. Now is the time to open the throttle. “It seems to me, therefore, that a plain statement of general policy is most desirable. “Upon the industrial side of the war three great problems, or per haps I should better say tasks, con front-us. “First and foremost, we must fa cilitate the flow of raw materials and finished products to our Allies and must provide the means of rail and water transportation therefor. “Second, we must meet our own great military - and naval Duilding schedules.

Ways and Means Committee Consider Methods of Raising W ar Revenue. Washington.—With party lines, ob literated, the entire membership of the House Ways and Means Committee began consideration of methods lor raising new revenue with which to meet this country’s share of the war expense. The initial problem will be the raising of approximately $3,000 ,- 000,000 to meet half of the estimated cost of the first year of war, for which cerificates of indebtedness soon are to be issued. The committee also probably will lay a ground work for the collection of Buch other part of the war cost that Congres may determine is to come from direct taxation. Careful consideration will be given to a list of suggested new sources of’ taxation sent to the committeemen last Sunday by Secretary McAdoo af ter conference -with various members of the Administration. He suggested the raising of about $1,800,000,000 from various sources, including in come excess profits, liquor, etc. His list will meet with strong objection in many instances., SIX ARE KILLED BY EXPLOSION ON FILMS.

Nan, agonizing in her suspense, cried out she must join him and go with him if lie went. He steadied her with a few words. A bullet struck again viciously close between them. De Spain spoke slowly: “Give me your riile.” Without turning his head, he licld out his hand, keeping his . eyes rigidly on the suspicious spot on the ridge. “How far is it to that road, Xaar She looked toward the faint line .{hat lay in the deep shadows below. “Three hundred yards.” , \ “Nan, if it wasn’t for you, I couldn’t travel this country at all,” he re marked with studious unconcern. “Last time I had no ammunition—this time, no rifle—you always have what’s needed. How high are we, Nan?” "Seven hundred feet.” “Elevate for me, Nan, will you?” "Remember the wind,” she faltered, adjusting the sight as he had asked. With the cautioning words she passed the burnished weapon, glitter ing yet with the raindrops, into his hand. A flash came from the distant ridge. Throwing his rifle to his shoul der, De Spain covered a hardly per ceptible black object on the trail mid way between Sassoon’s ranch-house and a little bridge. Then he fired be fore Nan could believe he had. lined the sights. Once, twice, three times his hand fell and rose sharply on the lever, with every mark of precision, yet so rapidly Nan could not under stand how he could discover what his shots were doing. The Are came steadily back, and de liberately, without the least intimation of being affected by De Spain’s return. She. had never before seen a man shooting to kill another. The very horror of Vatchlng De Spain, at bay among the rocks, fascinated her. Since the first day they had met she had hardly seen a rifle in his hands. She strove to look. The butt of the heat ing rifle lay close against the red- marked cheek she knew so well; and to the tips of the fingers every par ticle of the man’s being was alive with strength and resource. Some strange fascination drew her senses out toward him as he knelt and threw shot after shot at the distant figure hidden on the ridge. She held put her arms and clasped her hands toward him in an act of devotion. Then, while she looked, breathlessly, he took his eyes an instant from the sights. “He’s running!” exclaimed De Spain as the rifle butt went instantly back to his cheek. “Whoever he is, God help him now I” The words were more fearful to Nan than an imprecation. He had driven his enemy from the scant cover of a rut in the trail, and the man was fleeing for new cover and for life. Bullet after bullet pitilessly led the escaping wretch. Suddenly De Spain jerked the rifle from his cheek, threw back his head, and swept his left hand across his straining eyes. Once more the rifle came up to place and flame shot again in the gray morning light from the hot muzzle. The rifle fell away from the shoulder. The black speck running toward the raochhouse stumbled, as if stricken by an ax, and sprawled headlong on the trail. Throw ing the lever again like lightning. De Spain held the rifle back to his Cheek. He did not fire. Second after sec ond he waited. Nan watched the rifle slowly come down, unfired, and saw his drawn face slowly relax. Without gating his eyes off the sprawling speck, he rose stiffly to his feet. As if in a dream she saw his hand stretched toward her and heard, as he looked across the far gulf, one word: “Come!” They reached the end of the trail. He Spain, rifle in hand;' looked back. The sun, bursting in splendor across the great desert, splashed the valley and the low-lying ridge with ribboned gold. Farther up the gap horsemen, stirred by the firing, were riding rap idly down toward Sassoon’s ranch- house. But the black thing in the sunshine lay quite stilL CHAPTER XXV. Lefever to'the Rescue. Beiever, chafing in the aspen grove under the restraint of waiting in the storm, was ready long before daylight to break orders and ride in to find He Spain. With the first peep of dawn, and Wth his men facing him in their sad dles, Lefever made a short explanation. I don’t want any man to go into the gap with me this morning under any misunderstanding or any false =pre- ense,” he began cheerfully. 11 Bob. I,v and 'Bul1 wU1 stax fIgHt here. If, J any chance, De Spain makes his in ?f0Ut )vilUe the rest of us are hunt- —th yuu’B be here to signal us e.shots> Bob—Or to ride in with Oin- Aiu to help carry the rest of us ssmS the others. “You, all of you know,‘ or ought to know—everybody twixt here and the railroad knows— that De Spain and Nan Morgan have fastened up to each other for the long ride down the dusty trail together. That, I take it, is their business. But her uncle, old Duke, and Gale, and the whole, bunch, I hear, turned dead sore on it, and have fixed it up to beat You all know the Morgans. They’re some bunch—and they stick for one another like hornets, and all hold to gether In a fight. So I don’t want any man to ride in there with me thinking he’s going to a wedding. He isn’t. He may or may not be going to a funeral, but he’s not going to a shlvaree.” Frank Elpaso glanced sourly at his companions. “I guess everybody here is wise, John.” “I know you are, Frank,” retorted Lefever testily; “that’s all right. I’m only explaining. And I don’t want you to get sore on me if I don’t show you a fight.” Frank Elpaso grunted. “I am under orders.” John waved his hand. “And I can’t do anything—” “But talk,” growled Frank Elpaso, not waving his hand. Lefever started hotly forward In his saddle. “Now look here; Frank.” He pointed his finger at the objecting ranger. “I’m here for business, not for pleasure. Any time I’m free you can talk to me—” “Not till somebody gags you, John,” interposed Efipaso moodily. “Look here, Elpaso,” demanded Le- fever, spurring , his horse smartly to ward the Texan, “are you looking for a fight with me right here and now?” “Yes, here and now,” declared El paso fiercely. “Or, ‘there and then,” interposed Kennedy, ironically, “some time, some where, or no time, nowhere. Having heard all of which, a hundred and fifty times from you two fellows, let us have peace. You’ve pulled it so often, over at Sleepy Cat, they’ve got it in double- faced, red-seal records. Let’s get started.” “Bight you are, Farrell,” assented Lefever, “but—” “Second verse, John. You’re boss here; what are we going to do? That’s all we want to know.” “Henry’s orders were to wait here till ten o’clock this morning. There’s been firing Inside twice since twelve o’clock last night. He told me to pay no attention to that. But if the whole place hadn’t been under water all night, I’d have gone in, anyway. This last time it was two high-powered guns, picking at long range and, if I’m any judge of rifles and the men prob ably behind them, someone must have got hurt. It’s all a gUess—but I’m go ing In there, peaceably if I can, to look for Henry de Spain; if we are fired on —we’ve got' to fight for i t And if there’s any talking to be done—” “You can do it ” grunted Elpaso. • “Thank you, Frank. And I will do it. I need not, say that Kennedy will ride ahead with me, Elpaso and Wickwire with Tommie Meggeson.” Leaving Scott in the trees, the little party trotted smartly up the road, picking their way through the pools and across the brawling streams that tore over the trail toward Duke Mor gan’s place. The condition of the trail broke their formation continually and Lefever, in the circumstances, was not sorry. His only anxiety was to keep Elpaso from riding ahead far enough to embroil them in a quarrel before he himself should come up. Half-way to Duke’s bouse they found a small bridge had gone out. It cut off the direct road, and, at Elpaso’s sug gestion, they crossed over to follow the ridge up the valley. Swimming their horses through the backwater that cov ered the depression to the south, Giey gained the elevation and proceeded, unmolested, on their way; As they approached Sassoon’s place, Elpaso, riding ahead, drew up his horse and sat a moment studying the trail and east ing an occasional glance in the direc tion of the ranch-house, which lay un der the brow of a hill ahead. When Lefever rode up to him, he saw the story that Elpaso was reading in the roadway. It told of a man shot In his tracks as he was running toward the house—and, in the judgment of these men, fatally shot—for, while his companions spread like a fan in front of him, .Lefever. got off his horse and, bending intently over the sudden page tom out of a man’s life, recast the scene that had taken place, where he stood, half an hour earlier. Some little time Lefever spent ,patiently decipher ing the story printed indhe rutted road; and marked by a wide crimson splash in the middle of it. He rose from his study, at length and followed back Jhe trail of the running feet that had been strick.en at the pool. He stooped .In front of a fragment of rock jutting up beside the road, studied it a while and, looking about, picked up a numbier of empty cartrldge-shells, examined them, and tossed them away. Then he straightened up and looked searching- Iy across the gap. Only the'great, silent face of El Capitan confronted him it toldvno tales,, 11H this was Henry de Spain,” mut tered Elpaso, when Lefever rejoined his companions,'“he won’t care whether you join him now, or at ten o’clock, or never.” - “That^is-not Henry,” asserted Le fever with his Usuai cheer. “Not with in forty rows of apple trees. t.vlt’s not Henry’s gun, hot Henry’s heels, ,not Henry’s hair; and thereby, not Henryjs head that was hit that time. But. it was to a finish—and blamed if at. first it didn’t scare me. ‘ I thought it, might be Henry. Hang it, get down and see for yourselves, boys.’” Eliiaso answered his invitation with an inquiry. “Who. FhS tIfiS; fellow fighting with?” ( . 11 ThaJhiSiso; iS a question. _ Certainly, inot rWth; H e ^ 'fi« -S p a ih ;-b ^ ^ other fellow, I think,- was using soft- nosed bullets. No white man does that, much less De Spain.” “Unless he. used another rifle,” sug gested Kennedy. “Tell me how they could get his own rifle away from him if he could fire a gun at all. I don’t put Henry quite as high with a rifle as with a revolver— if you want to split hairs—mind, I say, if you want to split hairs. But no man that’s ever seen him handle either would want to try to take any kind of a gun from him. ' Whoever It was,” Le fever got up into his saddle' again, “threw some ounces of lead into that piece of rock back there, though I don’t understand how anyone could see a man. lying behind it. “Anyway, whoever was hit here has been carried down the road. We’U try Sassoon’s ranch-house if they don’t fire on us before we get there.” In the sunshine a man in shirt sleeves, leaning against the jamb, stood in the open doorway of ■ Sassoon’s shack, watching the invaders as they rode around the hill and gingerly ap proached. Lefever recognized Satt Mor gan. He flung a greeting to him from the saddle, Satt answered in kind, but he eyed the horsemen with reserve when they dnew up, and he seemed to Lefever al together less responsive than usual. John sparred With him for informa tion and Satterlee gave back nothing but words. “Can’t tell us anything about De Spain, eh?” echoed Lefever at length. “AU right, Satt, we’ll find somebody that can. Is there a bridge over to Duke’s on this trail?” Satt’s nose wrinkled into his normal smile. 11 There1S a bridge—” The re port of three shots fired in the distance, seemingly from the mouth of the gap; interrupted liim. He paused in his ut terance. There were no further shots, and he resumed: 11There is a bridge that way, yes, but it was washed-out last night. They’re blockaded. Duke and Gale are over there. They’re pretty sore on your man De Spain. You’d bet ter keep away from ’em this morning unless you’re looking for trouble.” Lefever, having all needed informa tion from Scott’s signal, • raised his hand quickly. “Not at all,” he ex claimed, leaning forward to emphasize his words and adding the full orbit of his eye to his sincerity of manner. “Not at all, Satt. This is all friendly, all ,friendly. But,” he coughed slightly, ‘as if in apology, “if Henry shouldn’t turn up 0. K., we’ll—ahem—be back.” None of his companions needed to be told how to get prudently away. At a nod from Lefever Tommie Meggeson, Elpaso and Wickwire wheeled their horses, rode rapidly back to the turn near the hill and, facing about, halted, with their rifles across their arms. Le fever and Kennedy followed leisurely, and the party withdrew-leaving Satter- lee, unmoved, In the sunny doorway. Once out of. sight, Lefever led the way rapidly down the gap to the ren dezvous. Of all the confused impressions that crowded Nan’s memory after the wild night on Music mountain, the most vivid was that of a noticeably light- stepping and not ungraceful fat man advancing, hat in hand, to greet her as she stood with De Spain, weary and bedraggled in the aspen grove. A smile flamed from her eyes when, turning at once, he rebuked De Spain with dignity for not introducing him to Nan, and while De Spain made apol ogies Lefever introduced himself. . “And is this,” murmured Nan, look ing at him quizzically, “really Mr. John Lefever whom Tve heard so many stories about?” She' was conscious of his pleasing eyes and even teeth as he smiled again. “I f they have come from Mr. de Spain —I warn you,” said John, “take them with all reserve.” “But they haven’t all come from Mt. de Spain.” 1Tf they come from any of my friends, discredit them in advance. You could believe what my enemies say,” he ran on; then added ingenuously, “if I had any enemies!" To De Spain he talked very little. It seemed to take but few words to exchange the news. Lefever asked gingerly about the fight He made no mention, whatever of the crimson pool in the road near Sas soon’s hut. CHAPTER XXVI. Puppets .of Fate. When Nan rode with De Spain into Sleepy Cat that morning, Lefever had already told their story to Jeffries over the telephone from Calabasas, and Mrs. Jeffries had thrown open her house to receive Nan. Weary from exposure, confusiorf and hunger, Nan was ‘only too grateful for a refuge. On the evening of the second day De Spain was invited to join the family at supper. Iq the evening the Jeffrieses went down town. ' • ' De Spain was talking with Nan In the living room when the telephone beU rang in the library. De Spain took the call, and a man’s voice answered his salutation; The speaker asked for Mr. de. Spain and seemed particular to make sure of his identity. . “This,” repeated De Spain more than once, and somewhat testily, “is Henry de Spain speaking.” “I’d like to have a little talk with you, Mr. de Siiain.” “Who are you?”. The vein of sharpness in the ques tion. met with no deviation from the slow, even tone of the voice • at the other end of the wire. “I am not in position to give you my.name,” came the answer, “at least not over the wire.” . A vague impression suddenly crossed lie Spain’s mind.;that somewhere be had heart the voice before. ’ 1Tlo you suppose I could come up to where you are. tonight for a few min utes’ talk?” continued the man coolly., “Not unless you have something very important.” “What I have is more important to you than to me.” De Spain took an instant to decide. “All right,” he said Impatiently; “come- along. Only—” he paused to let tho word sink In, “—if this is a game, you’re springing—” “I’m springing/.no game,”, returned the man evenly. “Come along, then: Tll tell you just how to get here. Do you hear?” “I’m listening.” . “Leave Main street at Bancheiio street. Follow Bancherio north four blocks, turn west into Grant avenue. Mr. Jeffries’ house is on the corner. 1Tll find It.” “Don’t come any other way. If you do, you won’t see me.” “Tm not afraid of you, Mr. de Spain, and Tll come as you say. There’s only one thing I- should like to ask. It would be as much as my life is worth to be seen talking to you. And there are other good reasons why I shouldn’t like to have it known I had talked to you. Would you mind putting .out the lights before I come up-r-I mean, in the front of the house and in the room where we talk?” “Not In the least. I mean—I am al ways willing to take a chance against any other man’s. But I warn you, come prepared to take care of your self.” “H you will do as I ask, no harm will come to anyone.” De Spain heard the receiver hung up at the other end of the. wire. He signaled the operator hastily and got hold of Bob Scott. To him he explained rapidly what had occurred, and what he wanted. “Get up to Grant and Ran- cherio, Bob, as’ quick as the Lord will let you. Come, by the back streets. There’s a high mulberry hedge at the southwest corner you can get behind. This chap may have been talking for somebody else. Anyway, look the man over when he passes under the arc light. If it is Sassoon or Gale Morgan, come Into Jeffries’ house by the rear door. Wait in the kitchen for my call from the living room, or a shot I’ll arrange for your getting in.” Leaving the telephone, De Spain re joined Nan in the living room. He told her briefly of the expected visit and explained, laughingly, that his caller had asked to have the lights out and to see him alone. He made so little of the incident that Nan' walked up the stairs on De Spain’s arm reassured When he kissed her at her room door and turned down the stairs again, she leaned in the half-light over the banis ter, waving one hand at him and mur muring the last caution: “Be careful, Henry, won’t you?” “Dearie, Tm always careful.” 11 ’Cause you’re all I’ve got now,” she whispered. “You’re, all Tve got. Nan, girl.” “I haven’t got any home—or any thing—just. you. Don’t go to the door yourself. Leave the front door open. Stand behind the end of the piano till you are awfully sure who it Is.” “What a head, Nan!” De Spain- cut off the lights, threw open the front door, and in the dark ness sat down on the piano stool. A heavy step on the porch, a little while later, was followed by a knock on the open door. “Come in!” called De Spain roughly. The bulk of a large man filled'and ob scured for an, instant the opening, then the visitor stepped carefully over the threshold. “What do you want?” asked De Spain without changing his tone. He awaited with keenness the sound of the answer. 1Ts Henry de Spain here?’.’ The voice was not familiar to De Spain’s ear. He told himself the man was unknown to him. “I am Henry de Spain,” he returned without hesita tion. “What do you want?” The visitor’s deliberation was reflect ed in his measured speaking. “I am from Thief River,” he began, and his reverberating voice was low and dis tinct. “I was sent In to Morgan’s gap some time ago to find out who burned the Calabasas barn.” “And you report to—?” “Kennedy.” De Spain paused. A fresh convic tion had flashed across his mind. “You called me up on the telephone one night last week,” he said suddenly. The answer came without evasion. “I did.” “You gave me a message from Nan Morgan that she never gave you.” “I did. I thought she needed you right off. She didn’t know me as I rightly am. I knew what was going on. I rode into town that evening and rode out again. It was not my business, and I couldn’t let it interfere with the busi ness Tm paid to look after. That’s the reason I dodged you.!’ “There IS a chair at the left of the door; sit down. What’s your name?’ The man feeling around slowly, de posited his angular bulk with care up on the little chair. 11My name”—In the tenseness of the dark the words seemed to carry added mystery—“is Pardaloe.” “You’ve ’got a brother—Joe Parda loe?” suggestedDe Spain to trap him. “No, Tve got no brother.

Sassoon was a wide-awake man.” “Well, Tm ‘sorry, Pardaloe,” con tinued De -Spain after a moment. “No body could call It my fault. It was either he or I—or the life of a woman who never harmed a hair of his head, and a woman I’m bound to protect. He was running when he was h it. If he had got to cover again there was noth ing to stop him from picking both of us off.” “He was hit In the head.” De Spain was silent “It was a soft-no'se bullet,” contin ued Pardaloe. . Again there was a pause. “I’ll tell you about that, too, Pardaloe,” De Spain went on collectedly. “I lost my rifle before that inan opened, fire on us. Nan happened to have her rifle with her—if she hadn’t he’d ’ve dropped one or both of us off El Capi- tan. We were pinned against the wall like a couple of targets. If there wer.e soft-nose bullets in her rifle it’s be cause she uses them on game—bobcats and mountain lions. I never thought of it till this minute. That is it.” “What I came up to tell you has to do with Dave Sassoon. From what happened today in the gap I thought you ought to know it now. Gale and Duke quarreled yesterday over the way things turned out; they were pretty bitter. This afternoon Gale took it up again with his uncle, and it ended in Duke’s driving him clean out of the gap.” 11Where has he gone?” 11Nobody knows yet. Ed Wickwlre told me once that your father was shot from ambush a good many years ago. It was north ’of Medicine Bend, on a ranch near the Peace river; that you never found out who killed him, and that one reason why you came up into this country was to keep an eye out for a due.” “What about it?” asked De Spain, his tone hardening. “I was riding home one night about a month ago from .Calabasas with Sas soon. He’d been drinking. Ilet him do the talking. He began cursing you out, and talked pretty hard about what you’d done, and what he’d done, and what he was going to do—” Nothing, it seemed, would hurry the story. “Finally, Sassoon says.: 1That hound don’t know yet who got his dad. It was Duke Morgan; that’s who got him. I was with Duke when he turned the trick. We rode down to De. Spain’s ranch one night to look up a rustier.’ That,” concluded Pardaloe, “was all Sassoon would say.” He stopped. He seemed to wait There was no word of answer, none of comment from the man sitting near him. But, for one, at least 'who heard the passionless, monotonous recital of a murder of the long ago, there fol lowed a silence as relentless as fate, a silence shrouded in the mystery of the darkness and striking despair into two hearts—a silence more fearful than any word. Pardaloe shuffled his feet. He coughed, but he evoked no response. “I thought you was entitled to know,” he said finally. “Now that Sassoon will never talk any more.” De Spain' moistened his lips. ■ When he spoke his voice was cracked and harsh, as if with what he had heard he had suddenly grown old. 11You are right, Pardaloe. I thank you. I—when I—in the morning. Par daloe, for the present, go back to the gap. ' I will talk with Wickwire—to morrow.” “Good night, Mr. de Spain.” “Good night, Pardaloe.” Bending forward, limp, in his chair, supporting his head vacantly on his hands,, trying to think and fearing to think, De Spain heard Pardaloe’s meas ured tread on the descending steps, and listened mechanically to the re treating echoes of his footsteps down the shaded street. Minute after min ute passed. De Spain made no move. A step so light that it could only have been the step of a delicate girlhood,' a step free as the footfall of youth, poised as the tread of womanhood and beauty, came down the stairs. Slight as she was, and silent as he was, she walked-straight to him In the dark ness, and, sinking between his feet, wound her hands through his two arms. “I heard everything, Henry,” she murmured, looking up. An invol untary start of protest was his only response. 1T was afraid of a plot against you. I stayed at. the head of the stairs. Henry, I told you long ago some dreadful thing would come be tween usr-something not our fault. And now it comes to dash our cup of happiness when it is filling.” - She stopped, hoping perhaps he would say some little word, that he would even pat her head, or press her hand, but he sat like one stunned. 1Tf it could have been anything but this!” she pleaded, low and SorrowfuUy--11 Oh, why did you not listen to me before we were engulfed!

Her breath, no longer controlled, came brokenly; and her voice trembled. “You have been very kind to me, Henry—you’ve been the only man Tve ever, known that always, everywhere, thought of me first I told you I didn’t deserve it I wasn’t worthy of it—” His hands slipped silently, over her I An I Excellent Medicine FOR THE STOMACH.

Don’t Neglect Kidneys Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer’s Prescrip tion, Overcomes Kidney Trouble. It is now conceded by physicians thafr- the kidneys should have more attention- as they control the other organs to a re markable degree and do a tremendous- amount of work in removing the poisons- and waste matter from the system by- filtering the blood. The kidneys should receive some as sistance when needed. We take less ex- - ercise, drink less water and often eat--; more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than natura- intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,. such as lame back, annoying bladder- troubles, smarting or burning, brick- dust or sediment, sallow complexion, . rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular- heart action, warns you that your kid neys require help immediately to avoid/ more serious trouble. An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root. There is nothing else like it.

She's in my kindergarten, and she can speak English, I guess." “Well what of that?” demanded Sara. “Son can you. speak English.” “No, I can’t; I don’t know how! Why, of course I can’t speak English,”. Elsie appealed from the laughing faces now toward her, “can I, mother?” “Certainly you can speak English, -child; it’s what we all speak; we’re -speaking It now.” “What?

One day at the navy sta tion In the federal building a big, raw- boned fellow applied for enlistment as an apprentice seaman. On examination, the officers at the station found that he was just a little over age for this class of service. He then offered to “ship” as a cook. He was asked whether he had any recom mendations for that sort of work. “I haven’t got any recommenda tions,” he said. ‘But if jjpu order some ham and eggs I will show you what I can do along that line.” That didn't seem to satisfy the offi cers and the man appeared to he up against it. • . “Well, I won’t ship as a fireman,” he said, “that sort of work is too tough for me.

(Prom the U nited States D epartm ent of A griculture.) Cherry trees are planted at various distances apart, depending upon the topography of the land, the fertility of the soil, the varietal characteristics of the trees, and the preferences and conceptions of the individual grower. For most sour varieties 20 by 30 feet is generally accepted as satisfactory. Many who have orchards of trees of considerable age that are planted closer than this concede that they are too near together. Occasionally a grower is found who is convinced that 22 or even 25 .feet apart each way gives none too much space for the strong-growing varieties like the Mont morency. Some of the smaller-grow ing sorts, such as the English Morello, are sometimes planted 16 or 18 feet apart each way with good success. The ill effect of too close planting is suggested in the illusthition, which shows a Montmorency orchard about twenty-one years old in which the trees are 14 feet apart each way. The branches interlock, so that spraying is difficult; they are long, slender and upright In position, and hence it is difficult to gather a considerable part of the crop. A good many sweet-cherry trees have been planted 20 by 20 feet, but this is admittedly too close. Probably 25 feet each way is the minimum dis tance advisable for. sweet cherries, while not a few growers prefer from 28 to 32 feet each way, in the convic tion that in the end the greater amount of space .is more satisfactory. East of the Rocky, mountains com mercial plantings of sweet cherries have been made almost invariably, in connection with sour varieties, and with few exceptions comprise but a very small proportion of the orchards in which they occur. It is therefore a matter of convenience to space the trees of the sweet varieties the same as the sour sorts; but because of the much larger size attained .by the for mer more space should be given them wherever possible. The details of planting the trees, so far as placing them in the ground is concerned, do not differ from those usually-followed with apples, peaches, or other fruit trees commonly planted in the sections where cherries are grown. In preparing a tree for planting, all mutilated or injured portions of the roots should be trimmed off and long, slender roots, if they occur, cut off to correspond with the length of the main roots. ' 'In handling the trees every precau tion should be taken to prevent the roots from becoming dry. Undue expo sure during the period t^iat elapses be tween, the trimming and the planting of the trees. will injure them. This danger can' be eliminated largely by puddling the roots as Soon as trimmed. This consists in dipping them in a puddle o£ clay. The puddle should be of such consistency that a thin layer of mud will adhere to the roots when dipped into it. Such a coating of mud will afford considerable protection, though even with this treatment the exposure of the roots to sun and wind should be reduced to a minimum at all times. In planting the trees after they have been prepared as . above suggested^ . several • very important, precautions must be observed if the desired suc cess is to be realized. In filing the hole after a tree has been put into position and properly aligned only finely pulverized soil should be used. In this part of the operation much care should be taken to work-the soil in-closely about the . roots. * This may be done to some extent with the fingers. Moving the tree up and down very slightly as the. hole is being filled will also materially help to settle the soil among the roots. As the filling progresses the soil should be firmly tamped about -the. roots, and when completed the hole should be filled even with the surface. Pruning at the Time of Planting. Wide differences exist in the man ner of pruning and forming the tops of the trees at planting time, though they may be grouped into two general T ‘h° r - „ (1> PorminS toe top with ttoe» to five or six main framework branches of equal importance, and (2) forming the top with a cehtral leader and with several secondary branches . which * radiate from it. A practice followed by not a few is to plant the tree without shaping the top and with little or no heading back of the branches.or other pruning. This practice calls for no comment other than a statement of disapproval. The method most- widely used is where the- top is formed of several main frame or scaffold branches. This method properly followed produces a tree with an “open center.” Tillage and Soil -Fertility. ' As a rule, cbmmerclal cherry or chards are given clean tillage during the growing season, or until about the middle of July. The principal excep tion to this practice is where an or chard in a high state of cultivation is. seeded to clover or some other suit able, crop and maintained for a season or two on a sod-mulch basis. The tillage of orchards cannot be governed by arbitrary rules. In gen eral it may be said that good tillage for a peach orchard would be likewise good tillage for a cherry orchard. The object is to conserve moisture by maintaining a finely pulverized surface mulch of soil iintil midseason. If the tillage which an orchard receives ac complishes-this in full measure, other important results that have to do with the fertility of the soil will generally follow. Where the fruit is picked by the middle of July, at least one culti vation,after the harvest-may be desir able. 1 Cover crops are used extensively In most important cherry-producing sec tions. These are generally put in at the last cultivation, whether that oc curs before or after the fruit is picked. Vetch and red clover are. the leguminous crops most • commonly used in cherry orchards. Soy beans have been tried in a few orchofds in Michigan and New York with good results. Rye, buckwheat, rape and cow-horn turnips are the most com mon nonleguminous cover crops, the first two being used the most exten sively. Several of these crops, par ticularly vetch and buckwheat, are so handled each year by some growers as to mature sufficient seed for their cover-crop needs the following year. An inquiry often received at the United States department of agricul ture is “VVhat fertilizers are good for cherries?” . To this question no spe cific answer can be made. In prac tice-, cherry growers find that it pays to feed their trees fairly liberally. The principles of tillage, the main tenance of soil fertility, Including the use of cover crops and rates' of seed ing, and suggesti.ons. about the use of fertilizers are discussed more in de tail in Farmers’ Bulletin 631, to which the reader is referred in the present connection. Interplanted Crops. A fruit grower naturally desires some return from the land occupied by an orchard during the nonproduc tive period of the trees where .it can be secured without detriment to them. The .most satisfactory crops .to inter plant are those which need the same general tillage as the trees, which do not compete too heavily for moisture, and for which there is a good mar ket Beans, peas, tomatoes, and oth er vegetables of like cultural require ments are examples of the least ob jectionable unless the greed of the grower impels him to plant it too close to the trees. Potatoes are doubtful, In some sections at least, since dig ging them In the autumn might be equivalent to a late cultivation, result ing in the stimulation of tree activi ties at an undesirable time. All. small grains are seriously, ob-. jectionable, as they permit no tillage. Strawberries in bearing are not usual ly cultivated until after the fruit Is picked. Their fruiting period is dur ing the ,time ,when tillage is of the ,greatest importance' to the cherry trees. Though raspberries and blackberries admit of and require much the same tillage as cherries, their demands upon the soil moisture are so great that fruit tre& frequently suffer seri ously In competition with them, ana their us» In orchards Is not advioed. PAIN? NOT A BIT! LIFT YOUR CORNS CR CALLUSES OFF No humbug! Apply few drops then Just lift them away with fingers. . This new drug is an ether compound- discovered by a Cincinnati chemist. It is called freezone, and can now be. obtained in tiny bottJes as here shown at very little cost from any drug store. Just ask for freezone. Apply a drop or two directly upon a tender corn or callus and instant ly the soreness disappears. Shortly'you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it off, root and all, with the fingers. Not a twinge of pain, soreness- or-irritation; not even the slightest smart ing, either when applying freezone or afterwards. This drug doesn’t eat up the' corn or callus, but shrivels them so they loos en and come right out. It is no humbuf! It works like a charm. For a few cents you can get rid of ev ery hard com, soft corn or corn betweep the toes, as well as pain ful calluses on bottom of your feet. It , never disappoints and never burns, bites or inflames. If your druggist hasn’t any freezone yet, tell him to I get a little bottle for you from his I wholesale house.—adv. Business Opportunities, in Mexico.

IM MID MMIL CONFLAGRATIONS GENERAAL OC CUR BETWEEN FEBRUARY 25 AND MAY 3. EFFECTS OFEYESTRftIM Laziness And Grouchiness Of ten Due To Eyestrain and Defects. LETTEB OF WARNIN6 ISSUED 500.000 4.500.000 250.000 250.000 5,999,513 1.500.000 5,000,000 Some Interesting Statistics Concern- ( Ing Spring Fires Which Should In terest Citizens of North Carolina. A letter issued by the Georgia Fire Preyention Society and circulated throughout the State ot Georgia Ie ■worth attention in North Carolina or «ny other State. It points out that during the past twenty-five years, $77,- 749,513 of the losses in the South have occurred between February 25 and May 3. . Some of the spring conflagrations •re enumerated as follows: April, 1892, New Orleans..? 1,500,000 May, 1901, Jacksonville 10,000,000 February, 1904, Baltimore.. 40,000,000 May, 1904, Yazoo City, Miss. 2,000,000 February, 1905, Hot Springs 1,500,000 February, 1906, New Orleans 5,000,000 May, 1907, AtlantaL .............. 500,000 February, 1906, New Orleans 5,000,000 March, 1908, Tampa ............ February, 1912, Houston... April, 1912, Columbus, Ga.. May, 1914, St. Augustine.. March, 1916, Augusta, Ga.. March, 1916, Nashville ......... March, 1916, Paris, Texas.. The above figures represent the amohnt paid by insurance companies, and are naturally much less than the property losses. The great conflagra tion of San Francisco, which resulted int'a property loss of about 8350,000,000, occurred In April, 1906. (It is on account of the danger of spring'fires that the Georgia Fire Pre vention Society is issuing its warning to the people of Georgia. The society is also conducting a vigorous campaign along other lines to aid in the preven tion of fires. School children are be ing Interested in the crusade, and re cently 400 fire inspection blanks were filled' out by the pupils of Fitzgerald •chools, showing the condition ”o£ dwellings in that place. The society Is also calling atteniton to the danger ous hazard of storing collected waste paper In school houses, basements,‘etc. ‘ In North Carolina during six days from - March 27 to April I, inclusive, newspaper reports indicate rather a dose adherence to custom.. The tan nery of the United States Leather Company at Old Fort was destroyed financial loss of between $750,000 and fiLiOOO.OOO. At about the same time bit the same date the lumber plant of the A.'T. Griffin Lumber Company at Goldsboro, was damaged, entailing a loss; of about $25,000. At the alarm ofithis fire In Goldsboro thousands of people visiting the camp of the Sec ond. Regiment North Carolina Na- tldnal'.Guard nearby, were thrown into •(panic and in the stampede that fol lowed .a number of persons were in jured and several women fainted. .. Fire (at Turnpike, a small village twelve • miles from Asheville, was practically wiped out by fire Saturday, March 31, when a large saw mill with quantities of . lumber, several other buildings, and two cribs of corn ($1.40 • bushel) were burned.

Competent Optometrist Should Be Consulted When Head Tires, and Nerves Become Upset.—Should Guard Against Any Eyestrain- The parents of a small boy were greatly disturbed by a teacher’s report to the effect that their son was the laziest boy in school. “He is so lazy,” the teacher declared, “that whenever he has to read, he becomes sleepy in- a very few minutes." Scoldings and whippings proving of no avail, the boy was taken to the family physician. The latter, to -the parent’s surprise, passed him on to an optometrist, who found him much in need of glasses. As soon as he be gan to wear these he kept up easily with his class. This boy’s case is that of many ,other children, and of many adults also. They have no obvious symptoms of eyestrain, but they find it. hard to concentrate their attention. Their heads tire , quickly when they try to think. They are nervous and irri table. All this impairs their effi ciency, sending their earning power far below what it ought to be. They become difficult persons to get along with at home -and in their business dealings. When, as sometimes hap pens, their unsuspected eyestrain makes them so overwrought that they cannot sleep, their plight is miserable indeed. If, then you suspect that your eyesight is not what it ought to be; if, no matter how good it seems, you suffer from the physical and mental trouble mentioned above, play safe by consulting a competent optometrist. And, to help you guard against eye strain, here axe a few “don’ts:” Don’t read shinv paper. Don’t read any kind of paper in a poor light. Don’t read in street cars, railway trains, or other moiling vehicles. Don’t sit with a strong light on your book, while the rest of the room is dark. Don’t face the light BE RID O F- TH A TA C H E. ■1 ■! pl|| !15 lllfi O s5 H H !5iti itilg Ijf !I as il iiill 11 El SU RRSc SB SEE v .

Stroud. 229 Boulevard St., States -tile, N. C., says: “About sixteen years igo, I was in pretty bad shape with Itid- iey and bladder trouble. I could hardly <et around because of the awful misery n my back. My back was so weak and stiff that I couldn't straighten after stoop- ng. Mornings, I couldn't get out of bed. vly kidneys were sluggish and the kidney ecretions scanty and unnatural. I nevei experienced such misery, in my life as when the k'duey secretions were passing, doctors didn't seem able to help me and I kept getting worse until I used Doan's Xiiney Pills. One box cured me.” Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't simply tsk for a kidney .remedy—get Doan's Kid nev Pills—the same .that Mr. Strouo nad. Foster-Milburn Co.. Props.. Buffalo 4.

Persons suffering from indigestion are often troubled with constipation. Mrs. Robert Allison, Mat- toon.IU., writes that when she first mov ed to Mattooa she was a great sufferer from indigestion and constipation.
