THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." VOLUMN XIX.‘I MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA.. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 3. 1918.NUMBER S3 WheaTbeHeartBreaks. At her home near Bandy / Cross in Nash county MrB. Bettie Barbee committed BRieide by slashing her throat with a razor, dying almost instantly. The cause assigned for tbe rush act is that r her only son hud been drafted and was getting ready to answer the call. There are those who may eriti cise this horrible act of self-des. truction, who may point to the ihousands of other mothers who hare given up their sons cheerful ly, and heap upon the head of this mother the opprobrium of cowar dice. But the world should not judge with too great a harshness the act of a frail mortal when committed under the stress of a load too great for her strength. Separation from an only Bon, from one who had been the -main stay oi the family, one in whose ears the troubles ot everyday life were poured and qpon'whom an aging mother relied for life and happiness—it is not hard to. per ceive how that a lone mother, with nerves worn to tatters, might brood upon such separation, and in a moment of irresponsible horror, do that from which she w.ould shirk in her right mind. To be left alone in the ^ o rld - absolutely alone, when the. snow of years is tinging the hair, and the nerve refuses to bear the shocks it once endured—alone—a helpless piece of driftwood thrown about l-.y the relentless waves of fate—it is not so strange after all that an old mother’s heart -should break down under the load, and that the hand should accomplish that which the heart would revolt, against. It is but one of those many tragi edies which are borne in humble life all about us. ThiB poor wo man had not the Btrength to live and suffer. Others. I many thous ands of them, are ranking like sac r.hces and while they go about their duties and pass .in and out among friends, there is a gnawing at the heart strings which is grie vous to bear. After all, it is the mothers who suffer the brunt of war’s burdens. Over in France, and in Belgium, and in Serbia, and in l.Syria there are countless number's; of mothers, with brain numbed as this;- poor woman’s of the South was,; • with grief which is too deep for express ion, a haunting, devouring,-never- departiug nightmare of sorrow over the exacting toil of war. Ami if one out of the large num ber should seek surcease in obliv ion, surely it must bo the part of charity to bow the head mid pray to God to have pity upon' a . storm- tossed sunt.—Charlotte i Oteerver.

Facing Two Ways. - / Standing by the Presidenfciwould be slightly easier if it did not put-. 0lle in the same class with Si enator Gnmsboe Bill Ston4i—Clefveyiid Sews.. > T- ■ 1J l For Billions Trouble*;: - To Iiv Mlio1 Promote a healthy action’/o f vthe What Is Vagrancy. The nation itoday is faced with the facts that every class of people in this nation are needed not as idlers butas workers, as producers. Greensboro, Salisbury and a number of towns have issued warn ings to-.the idler that he, or she, must go to work or go to jail. The Sheriff of every county has the matter put squarely up to them by Food ' Administrator Henry A. Page; he states that the burden of enforcing Horth Carolina’s strin gent vagrancy law will be laid squarely on their shoulders. It, however, is intimated that the co operation of the citizenship is . re quired to make a clean sweep and put every man tjp work. The stringent' vagrancy laws of North Carolina are spoken of and held as a lash above the heads of the would-be violators, but as a matter of fact what does onr court record actually show as the result oi those Lrought before the ‘man dates of law, charged with vagran cy? How many have ever be'en convicted? The law is very plain. “A man must have visible meauB of support for himselt and ■ those actually dependent upon him for support.” Justto what exteut the word “ visible” is applicable seems to be still in doubt, so far as the court is concerned. It- is very much like one lawyer stated when speaking of getting drunk. He slated that, no court bad ever decided just what extent of intoxication would land a man in the realm of drunk enness. The dividiLg line has never been decided on. however, he stated that personally he • con sidered a man drunk when he was down and began to grab the, grass!,, thinking that he 'was about, to fall off. ' . ' Itwonldseem that this should ‘.onvict the intoxicated of being in a state of - dr UnkeniieBB and as a matter of fact be is drunk, but take that case to our own courts, with all of their red tape, and law yers objections to this and that, and you could not convict him.’in a hundred years. The tame rules seem to rule in the vagrancy mat ter. ‘ The laws, or - th'e defending lawyers,* take no cognizance of the fact that half the.world is needing food, onr boys are going over the top and shedding.life’s blood for everyone of us,, even the negro, or- rhe white-man that absolutely re. fuses *and is known not to work Over a few hours a week. Moral Jy.; there are many guilty, of va grancy. but to convict them is an*. other question. A That we have a law that will reach the idler is a joke, or rather it would seem this is ti.e case. Public opinion can to a certain ex teut reach a certain class, but the man that willfully lay around without helping his country in this hour of need has no such thing as moral, or patriotic pride. He is below the depth of manliness, so far that an appeal to his. pride would he like whispering for the devil to desert the Kaiser. About the best that can be done is to close up some of the loitering places and then let the officers keep Hi personal check bo just what amount of work is actually -beiag done by those under suspicion and from time to time let the.court,de cide if the defendants are securing enough “ visible income” to-render the immune from the: clutches of- the law,. It might be possible that after a time public opinion will prevail upon the court to adjust its viewB to the day, and render a decision that will prove a help in making others take up more ot the burdens cast npou us.-^-Statesville Sentinel. er and correct the disorders caused!' -by' nsness, Chamberlain’s Tablets ‘are excellent. Try them and see how’ q Utefc- y they give you a relish for your food! and an'.sh that dull and stupid feeling. - Go Beyi^d Tbe Limit. As much as it despises mob law,/ The Landmark hopes it will never- be called on to help Bave from a mob the fellow who kills a woman because she refuses him. Candid ly it is afraid it: would allow the mob to have its way. The de praved fool who, maddened be cause he, can’t have, the woman In-, wants and refuses her the . privi lege and right of choice which he claims for himself, takes her life.: deserves no mercy. There is neve; any reasonable doubt that the fiend who violates a woman for cibly will get his. Therefore the mob in his case is inexcusable. But the' wretch who kills the wo man who refuses him, can plaj the maddened lover and get by with it, as did the Caldwell county boy who shot the littie girl in the back simply because Bhe refused his attentions. The fellow' down at Selma who. shot the young wo man because of unrequited love, did the,prope.r thing when he kill ed himself, but he should have done that first. The man who' de cides that life isn’t worth living if the lady of his fancy refuses him. can blow his brains out if nothing else will do, but when he decides that the woman shan’t live he is going beyond the pale. The idea that a man who may take a fancy to a woman can force himself Ou her at the point of a gun, no mat ter how unwelcome his attentions may be to her,, is going back to savagery, to the cave man. IfThe Landmark had to deal with this sort it- might not be strong enough' to help to restrain a mob.—States ville Landmark. DOUBLY PROVEN. Mocksville Readers Can No Lon ger Doubt the Evidence.

PERSHING'S ENTIRE FORCE HAS BEEN GIVENt INTO HANDS OF GENERAL FOCH. . - ON THIER WHY TO FRONT Carmans Lose Great Number* In KiIL ed and Wounded—French and British Make Gains. The American army in France is to Sght shoulder to shoulder with the British and' French troops who now are engaged in the titanic struggle with.,the; Germans 'in'- Ficardy. Geu- eral'Pershing’s entire’force has been given into the. hands of-rGeneral Foch., the new generalissimo, who is to use the men where he desires. More than 100.00 Americans, inten sively trained and fully accoutered, are available or immediate use in- aid ing to stem' the tide of the German hordes, and large numbers of them, on railroad trains and in motor trucks, and even afoot, already' are on their way to the battle front, eager to do their part in defeating the invaders. The miserable weather which has broken over the country is proving no deterrent to the Americans as they push forward from all directions to ward the battle zone. The acceptance by France of Gen eral Pershing’s offer for all American men and material for the present emergency has In effect virtually re sulted in a ' unified army - command, so far as the French army and Ameri- can forces are ' concerned. This is shown by the fact that the. orders is sued to the American troops are of French origin. Great activity continued throughout the zone where the American troops are quartered, etc., as sent. Even more activity was observed behind the German lines opposite the American front on the Toul sector. An entire battalion was seen on the march. Infantry at other points was being shifted about, while the, cav alry also was seen again. X Numerous automobile's ,of members of the Ger man staff made their appearance be hind the lines. Three American patrols penetrated the enemy’s lines. One patrol went in 'until electrically charged barbed wire was encountered. This was cut. Enemy sniping posts took warning and opened fire on the1 Americans, who were forced, to retire. Nci casualties were suffered. Another patrol inspected German front line trenches, buf did ’ not en counter a single German. The .third patrol penetrated the enemy’s wire field to a French airplane which fell there last week. The engine of the plane was found to have been re moved. . ,-. The enemy gas-shelled the Ameri can batteries without effect. On Way to Front Lines. Washington. — The' announcement that American soldiers actually are on their way to the 'fighting lines to take places beside their hard-pressed Brit ish and French allies, sent- a' thrill throughout the national capital. It was. the first- positive statement - that General Pershing’s forces actually are on their way to the battle lines to help stem the tide of .the German drive. The American soldiers ' previously referred to in the official* dispatches being in the fighting are believed to have been the engineers of other aux iliary troops, which probably- were caught at their work, as they were a few months, ago at Cambrai - when the German% suddenly enveloped par ties of British forces behind their lines in a swift turning movement. The sending of. General Pershing’s fighting troops to places in the British- French line has been expected by-mil itary experts to follow the creation of a unified command under the French chief of staff. General Foch,- and Gen eral Pershing’s formal offer of all the available American resources. _ KING GEORGE VISITS HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE London.—Reuter’s correspondent at British headquarters In France, de scribing King George’s visit to the. front, says: “In the course of an inspection the king visited an airdrome, where he in spected an American section, the mem bers of which he congratulated upon their fine and smart appearance,, praise which was well justified, for a likelier looking set of lads neVer .yet swore to drive Huns out of the air. JAGGED BITS OF GLASS FOUND IN BAKERS’ BREAD New York.—Warning to the public “to be most careful In the future when eating bread, rolls,- cakes, and pastry,” because “jagged bits of glass' have been found in flour, bread and bread wrappers,” was ,issued. The warning added that ‘.‘complaints of this character have been, sufficient ly frequent to warrant. the board in publishing this warning', much as it dislikes to be put-in the position of seeming to unduly alarm the public.” ALL FORCES OPPOSING GERMANY - IN FRANOE ARE FIGHTING UN DER SINGLE COMANOER. Germany 'Claim* 70,000 Prisoner* and 1,100 Gun* Captured Since Drive Began—American Force* Offered Fceh.'\ The entente forces’-opposing Ger many in France are, for the first time during the war, fighting under the con trol.of.a singlp connnandgr,, General credit ^tor the victory of - the' Marne in September, 1914, is generalissimo of the entente allied armies Jn France. This report was received in the form ofan unofficial dispatch from London, but in the evening it was officially con firmed by advices to Washington from Paris. Early in the-day, President Wilson senf a personal cable message of con gratulation to General Foch and Gen eral- Pershing placed at the- disposal of the French commander the Ameri can forces now on French soil. Gen eral Foch is given supreme command over all the men on the battle lines, and, in addition, has a strategic re serve force, the size and location of which is not known, but which, judg ing from reports, is very large.' . After eight days, during which it has'swept forward over' the rolling hills of Picardy, at times like a tidal wave, the German offensive has slow ed down. Instead of a sweeping, ad vance, its progress has been checked at all but one sector of the front, and there it has been merely creeping for the last two days—this Jact even ad mitted by the German war office, which usually concedes nothing: ' From Arleux, north of Arras, to Al bert, on the gomme, the British lines have been holding stubbornly and have thrust back the Germans at a number of points, ^rom Albert south to Montdidier, there has been a slow movement to the west, but the hills west of Montdidier are still being held by the French. No ground has been made against the- French along the southern side of the salient driven into the allied lines, while it is as serted that the French counter at tack from Lasslgny to Noyon is still going on. The extreme depth of the German wedge now is about 37. miles. . Soon,- if Effective. ' When this-blow, if it comes, will fall, or where; is ,as yet sealed in the minds of the men directing the prog ress of'military affairs for the alles, but seemingly it must come soon, if it is to.be effectiye. The German ad vance now iS converging on Amiens,’ the railroad center of northern France, which is known to be the ganglion from which run the main communi cations of the British array in northern France ' The railroads from Paris to Amiens was cut by the Germans at Montdidier, but this would not be vital if Amiens itself is held .'by the allies. The German thrust in front of Ar ras, while, according to. Berlin, it netted, thousands of prisoners, has ap parently come to a stop before Orange Hill, Telegraph Hill and the labyrinth, strongholds held by the British • in this sector. Repeated mass attacks by the Germans on these points have re sulted In terrible losses to them, with out, however, breaking the. -line -and causing more than a straightening of the front before Arras. MANY .VIgE WHEAT OFF HOTEL MENUS Washington. — Wheat and wheat products were wiped off the menus of several hundred of the country’s lead ing hotels in response to a request of the food administration that “every Independent, every well-to-do person In. the United States’” should pledge complete abstinence from wheat until the next harvest. CLASS OF 1119 TO BE CALLED TO THE COLORS , Paris, t March 29.—The. soldiers of the class of 1919 are to be called to the colors at an early date, which is to be fixed by the ministry of war. This was decided on by a vote of the chamber of deputies this afternoon.. It is known that the fuinistry of war has decreed that the recruits shall re port April 15: The chamber voted 490 to I on a .law providing that the-'date of the palling of the class be advanced.

Members of the ' committee were pledged to secrecy and Chqirman Chamberlain announced that"no state ment would be Issued until the inquiry had been completed. Maj. Gen. George O.' Squires, chief signal' officer, and Colonel Deeds, of the aviation branch, were the first witnesses called. They remained with the committee nearly four hours. The committee plans to hear Maj. Gen.

A delay of two months followed, while government inspectors went over every • airplane part in order to replace ,parts which spies had weakened. FRENCH MAKE DRIVE INTO GERMAN LINES Slowly assuming the Shape of a giant ploughshare, the German drive in Picardy has come almost to a halt except at the very tip of the salient driven into the lines of the entente allies. As this area covered -by the Teutonic offensive stands now, it runs, .on the south, in an almost straight line from Landricourt, on the old “Hinden- burg line,” to Montdidier, well behind the- allied positions as they stood in 191«. Savage fighting has faken place on the French part of the line. , The Ger man attempts to advance on the ex treme tip of the salient driven into the French positions have been fruitless and they have been driven back at the point of the bayonet. The British on the front ’ north of the Sparpe ause, have repulsed the enemy, but south of this river they have been forced to retire. - From Montdidier the line .to the northeast runs with' a sharp angle to Warvillers -and there it turns north ward and passes along the Somme river to above Albert,.where it again turns to the northeast until: it joins the old- lines' held • by. -the contend ing armies on the morning of March 21.

(By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER of the Vigilantes.) . A. good woman was discussing the rules of the food administration. “I am doing a lot for my country,” she said, “but there are certain trifles that !.do n6t~ihtend to give up. -Such hs'whitesbread and bacon.” I ‘.‘No,“ she -paid in response to my astonished-look, “I mean to have white bread when I want it. Why should I eat corn bread and other substitutes? I like white bread just as much as the soldiers and sailors do. And, any way, what difference can it make if I use a little white flour and a few slices of bacon every day? I am obiy one person.” Only one of millions! Suppose they all took that attitude! “I am no slacker,” she added. “I work at the Red Cross four afternoons of each week, and I have made dozens of knitted things, for the soldiers. But I draw the Une at bacon and white bread -and rolls.” .* Is this patriotism? I remembered the text: “These things ought ye to have done, and - not to have left the other undone.” Another good woman was talking of the next Liberty Loan drive. “Well,” she declared, “they need not Come to me for help! I am a business woman, and I have lost money on heatless Mondays, and since the gov ernment has made me do that I do not propose to help with their Liberty loan. I love my country, and I am a Red Cross worker, and all that—but there is a limit.” Should Be No Limit. A limit! Is there any limit to what She would do if her nearest and.denr- est were fighting for his life? Would she’stop to argue that she had given the suffered expensive woolen' under wear, but that she drew the line at the renunciation of certain comforts so that he might have them? Would she be considered a good wife or mother or daughter if she held this attitude towards husband, ,child or parent? . Let us stop all these ridiculous res ervations, these talks of whnt we will do and won’t do.. Let us hold back nothing. Do the women who are send ing their sons abroad hold back any thing? -Do these sons, grudge risking- their beautiful youth, thelf lives, for their country? Yet some people hesi tate at white bread and bacon, and refuse to buy Liberty bonds! The last-named hesitation is. not only unpatriotic, but it Is absurd. Later .we will know the meaning of the ex pression, “What I give I have.’” The money we Invest in Liberty bonds will be ours when other money that we now have is gone. AU such talk as I have quoted'is wickedly unpatriotic. Let us give as our sons give—ungrudgingly, proudly, because we are Counted worthy to make’ sacrifices for ’the greatest cru sade against evil that the world has ever known. .Make It An Honorable Service. What would the Son of Righteous ness say to our hesitation about trifling luxuries? He died for his cause. We women are not called upon to do that. (Some of us may wish that we were.) But we are called to sacrifice our selfishness for It. I am not making light of the wonder ful work done by those women who toil at Red Cross station's; ! am not forgetting the noble and- vast army' of wives, mothers, sisters and sweet hearts who stop at nothing in their de- •sire to help end the war honopably. But I hope that such sentences as I have quoted go no further than the tip of. the tongue. H they ,do, shame to the speaker^. And shame to us who let such speech pass unreproved. - “His very living—such was Christ’s giving.” * We women “have not yet resisted unto blood.” ' But some of our men have, and—God help us!—many more may have to. ,Can we then endure the Ignominy of remembering that .even in our inner hearts we ha.ve paused to consider what'delicacies we’may use? ShalJ we not—in the language of our dear fighting boys—“cut out” till doubtful articles? And lqt us moke of the trifling duty an honorable service. The<tause ennobles all that It touches. True Respectability. Having the courage to Iivef within one’s means is respectability. Build Character Firmly. > Vfhe character- which you are con structing is not your. own.

' UFRMJtN CASUALTIES 400,008 British Have Repulsed Heavy Attacks ,and Driven Germans - Back. Across the Ancre.River. The stretch of the great German offensive in France apparently is fast diminishing. On the seventh day of the titanic battle there were strong indications Uiatv the enemy was feel ing materially the strain he had un dergone and that his power had been greatly impaired-, through hard usage. While the town of Albert ,has been captured from the, British and west of Roye the French have beep, com pelled to give ground in the'- face of greatly superior numbers, the British have , repulsed-heavy attacks, both north and .south of the Somme and also driven back across the Ancre river the Germans who forded the stream. The fighting still continues of a sanguinary character on all these sectors, but everywhere the British and French are holding the enemy. Bspecially severe has -been the fight ing west of Albert, where the Ger mans, in an endeavor to deboyich west ward were repulsed by Field Marshal Haig’s men with the heaviest casual ties. The British gains between the Somme and Ancre regions are repre sented by the recapture of the town of Morlancourt and Chipilly. South of the Somme they have advanced .to Proyart,' which libs to the south of Bray. AU along the 50-mile front, from the region of Arras to the south of the Oise, near Noyon, the effects of what was to have been the final stroke to end the war in a victory for the Teutons are only too plainly evident in the redevastation of the country side’and the wreck au-l ruin of the towns, villages and hamlets through -which the armies have passed. 'I About 25 miles represents tire great est point of penietration ma^e at any place by the enemy, in his • advance, and on the northern and southern ends of the big salient he has left his flanks dangerously open to counter attacks, which,' it successful, possibly might result in, a retreat greater than the. 1916 retrograde movement of von Hindenburg and nullify in itd entirety the drive that has been accomplished. It is not improbable that British- and French reserves, and possibly Ameri can troops, known to be behind the battle front soon will be thrown against the weakened enemy. Notwithstanding the sterngth of the German drive, nowhere has the Brit ish or French front, along the latter Of which American troops have given a good account o(^their-ability as fight ers, been even dented.- Ground has been ^iven1 it is true, but so skillfully and with such precision of movement that from north to south a surveyor scarcely could have worked out 'a more even line. Still intact in the hands of the allied forces are portions of the old line from which Hinden- burg fell back in his “strategic” re tirement in 191«. CALLS UPON AMERICA TO SEND REINFORCEMENTS. New York.—A message from David Lloyd George,: -prime minister of Great Britain, calling upon the Unit ed States to send - “American rein forcements across the Atlantic In the shortest possible space of time,” was read by Lord Reading, British high commissioner to the-United States, at a dinner given here InTiis honor. “We are at-the crisis of the war, at tacked by an immense superiority of German troop's," said the premier in his message. “Our'army has been forced to retire. The retirement has been carried out methodically before the pressure of a steady succession of fresh German reserves which are suf fering enormous losses.” WILSON CONFERS WITH . v , DEPARTMENT HEADS.

If so, its final burihl in this State is close at hand or I am badly mistaken in the temper of iny fellow citizens.” If/the administration of the affairs .'of,the Farmers’ Union In North Caro lina .is to remain in the hands of the socialistic crowd now directing the publicity department. of the union in the publication and distributing of its official',-organ,’ “The Farmers’ Union Bulletin,”T think attention of patriotic men of this State should be focused oh .these, men and the harmful effects of the -work they are doing. ,Solution for Unpaid Bonds. I What to do with unpaid assessments I upon Liberty Bonds is a question that ' troubles banks, employers and others who sold Liberty Bonds on the in- -stailment plan. There have been thou sands Ot people who haye paid any where from $1.00 to $20.0 0' on their Liberty Bonds and who have stopped. These bonds are being held'by their banks- or their employers and are be coming a considerable worry to many, for the reason they don’t know what disposition to make ot the bpnds in order that-no loss will'result , to. those who have,-partly paid tor therii. The plan adopted by the Ford Mo tor Company, also by the Burroughs Adding. Machine Company is a clear and simple solution of the problem. These companies pay back to each em ploye the amount of-his-equity In these bonds in Thrift or War Savings Stamps. Then these companies take over the/unpaid bonds a's their own investment or dispose of them as they choose^ '. This plan is recommended by Col. P H. Fries, state director of War Savings, ,to North Carolina banks- and qprporations.. There is .no. doubt, ho says; but there are many banks and employers in. the State who will be glad, to adopt this plan’in disposing of unpaid up Liberty Loan Bonds. He suggests that the chairmen rOf the county war savings committee make this arrangement with the banks tor their people. ' 242,456 'Farmers In North Carolina.

A great many young chtckeis .espe cially those hatched and-brooded arti ficially, seem to be susceptible to bowel trouble such as whiter'diarrhea. Buttermilk or clabbered- - skim-milk has the effect of. counteracting theBe troubles, the acids ^bt the milk de stroying the bacteria .that cause .the trouble, states Dr. B. F. Kaupp, poul try investigator for the North Carolina Experiment Station. Waste milk also furnishes a great quantify , of animal protein and- has tens growth. .'Chicks supplied liber ally with milk.make superior fryers;- the pullets, mature and lay earlier than those not fed milk. Waste milk- also increases the' egg yield by nearly- 50 per cent. Save Crimson Clover Seed. Since the supply of Crimson Clover seed is limited, the present stock on hand beta gshort and no Iikplihood of further amounts of seed being import ed, all seed deeded this fall should be saved this spring. Clover means fer tility; fertility means better cropB; better crop yield means greater pros perity. and. this all means that more clover seed must be saved. Instead of the. acreage of clover' be ing decreased this next fall, *it should be increased, states Director B. W. Kilgore of the agricultural extension' service. This, he recommends, in spite of a seed shortage. To get this in crease In acreage, all seed should be Saved before the crop is turned under this spring for soil improvement.

Family Bible ' refuse to - lie. - At least this is. the .declaration of United States Commissioner Hugh Scarlett, who detected an- effort to- change birth dates in the family Bible of Wii- Iiam Williams, colored, of Person county. -Williams was before the com missioner on a charge of violating the selective draft by failing to register. J. F. Armisted, fiscal agent fro the. Empire Steel Company, a North Caro lina corporaton, is being sought by of ficers of Wake county who have war- rents for his arrest in arrest and bail proceedings, the warant being sworn out by persons who have purchased stock In the corporation on alleged rep resentations. Traffic' officer J. T. Dwyer, of the Charlotte police department has-in his possession an adz which was used, by his grandfather, Thomas JC. Dwyer, in helping to build the Merrimac near Norfolk, Va., during the war between the states. Mr. -Dwyer prizes the old relic very highly, and members of the police department were recently gven an opportunity to inspect t. The man who invented the sewing machine achieved what he was after when he stopped trying to Imitate the human hand. If yon go into a factory yon Tyill see machines doing- things which only human skill could do but a short time ago,; but the processes, are quite different, from the manual meth od. The inventors have'risen superior to the formulae that nature would seem to have laid down for them. After deliberating dn the matter the city commissioners of Asheville an- nounced» their decision to close all the pool rooms and bowling aUeys of the city on June I- by refusing to issue new license for the next fiscal year. This action is taken as a war measure, a large number of-citizen of the city having appeared before the board to ask them to close these places for the reason that they promoted idleness and crime. The advocates of cattle tick in Cra ven -county, that is those who are op posed to, the dipping vat ,route to ' de struction of this pest, have* laurifched their offensive against the -govern ment’s campaign to eradicate.the tick by dynamiting four vats. One was destroyed on the farm of Mr. W- R. Pate about nine miles east of New Bern and the. other three were a few miles further west. The dentity of the dynamiters is unknown. “Out of the tragedy of war there can come no compensation, but there may come out of it some things that will lift us up and show us that no man loves anything he ,will not die for,” said Secretary of the Navy Jo sephus Daniels in an address before the students of the State College of Agriculture and Engineering. He championed the cause of the American youth, vouching for the high purpose, the patridtic spirit, -and-, the zeal of the young-men of today, who, he de clared, are "worthy of the men who won the liberties which now hang in the balance.”v Th body of Charles Thompson, 8- year-old son of Mrl and Mrs. Henry Thompson, of BurUngton,. after being in the water 73 days, was found just below the dam at'Swepsonvllle. Jan uary 12 , the boy, with some ,compan ions, was walking some planks .used for inspecting under;the railroad tres tle at Haw River and he lost his bal ance and fell forty feet to the/water below. . Efforts are being made! to put to work the 2,000 interned Germans at Hot Springs.- - The war department authorized an-' nouncement that, ten officers of the medical reserve corps have been or dered to proceed to Asheville, N.

RIGHT BAIT FOR CUTWORMS Measures Described That May Be Ef fectively Employed to Combat At- . tac-ks Vof Worms, Birds and BurrdWirig Animals. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Animal rind insect pests, of com— prairie dogs, ground squirrels, gophers, blackbirds, crows,, cutworms,, ear-" worms, wireworms, chinch bugs, grass hoppers—soon will open their spring campaigns - of destruction. Many of these pests can be: effectively Com bated. : , Use Poisoned BaiL For cutworms, lumps of poisoned bait, made by mixing about fifty finely .chopped oranges or lemons, arid enough .cheap molasses to. make a stiff dough, should be scattered along the corn rows - at ‘planting -time or as soon* as injury from cutworms is noticed. In formation as' to, these poison baits will be furnished on application to the bu reau of entomology*. Treating the seed with coal tar Will usually repel attacks of birds and, in some cases, those of burrowing ro dents. A teaspoonful of tar is enough for a peck of corn. Mix the tar; with a quart of-boiling water.

Destmction of corn by ground squir rels, prairie dogs, pocket gophers, or mict is best prevented by poisoning the animals a few days before thb com -is planted. Strychnine is the best poison in all cases, but to obtain satisfactory results a special formula is needed for preparing the poison for each kind of animal.—Such formulas, have, been worked out by the bureau of biological survey and special Instruc tions will be furnished upon applica tion. Paris green and strychnine are poisons and should not bp placed where children or domestic animals can get them.

Special atten tion has been given to apples, peaches, potatoes, Texas Bfcrmuda onions, canta loupes, and tomatoes, and a study, of the various operations of ,harvesting, grading, packing,’• inspecting, and ship-, ping has been started on other truck crops. As a result of these investigations the bureau of markets was able to rec ommend immediately, in conjunction with the-United States food administra tion, on the request of the federal re serve board, -potato grades for use by members of banks when, In August, the banks were authorized to make loans against warehouse receipts for.'pota toes properly graded, packed, stored, and insured. These grades are de scribed in a publication of the depart ment, Markets Document 7. The tentative grades worked out In 1916 were put to A practical test by be ing used as ri basis foe-the actual field grading of car lots of onions and po tatoes, to compare the movement and selling price of graded'stock ,with that which had not been-graded. ■ - In (his work experiments-have been made to determine the -efficiency and practicability of machinery, for sizing these crops.’ -It was demonstrated that the work may be done economically, and with more’uniforiri results by the use of'machines than by band methods.

W WHICH CAROL RECEIVES'A MAD KISS IN THE DARK FROM A BOLD MAN—AND ENJOYS THE SENSATION Synopsis.—The story eoiieerns the household of Rev. Mr. Starr, a Methodist minister at MountfMark, Ia., and the affairs of his five loveable daughters—Pruden.ce, the eldest; Fairy, the next;'Carol and Lark, twins; Bnd Connie, the ’’baby.” Prudence marries and goes away. H er place as “mother” In the home is taken by Aunt Grace. Fairy is engaged to wed.. The -twins and the “baby,” just coining Into womanhood,' have the -usual- boy-and-girl iove affairs, and .the usual amazing adventures of adolescence. CHAPTER VIII—Continued. “Oh, no, I like to be out in the night air. I want to talk to you about be ing a preacher, you know. J think It Is the most wonderful thing in the world, I certainly do.” Her eyes were upon his face now seriously. “I didn’t say much, I was surprised, and I was ashamed, too, professor, for I never could do It in the world. Never! It always makes me.feel cheap and exas perated when .I see how much nicer other folks, are than I. But I do think It Ib wonderful. Really sometimes I Have thought you ought to be a preach er, because you’re so nice. So many preachers aren’t, and that’s the kind we need.” The professor put his other hahd over Carol’s, which was restlessly fin gering the crease in his sleeve. . He did not speak. Her girlish, impulsive words touched him very deeply. "I wouldn’t want the girls to know It, they’d think it was so funny, but—’’ She paused uncertainly, and looked questioningly into his face. "Maybe you won’t understand what I mean, but sometimes Td like to be good my self. Awfully good, I mean.” She smiled whlmslcaly. .“Wouldn’t Connie scream if she. heard that? Now you won’t give me away, will you? But I mean i t I don’t think of it very often, but sometimes, why, Professor, honestly, I wouldn’t care if I were as good as Prudence!” She paused dra matically, and the professor pressed the slender hand more closely in his. “Oh, I don’t worry about i t I sup pose one hasn’t any business to expect a ,.good complexion and just natural goodness, both at once, but—’’ She smiled,again. “Five thousand dollars,” she added dreamily. “Five thousand dollars ! What shall I call you now? P’fesser is not appropriate-any more, is i t r “Call me David,- won’t you, Carol? Or Dave.” ' Carol3 gasped. “Oh, mercy! What would Prudence! say?” She giggled merrily. “Oh, mercy!” ShewassIlent a moment then. ‘Tl! have to be con tented with plain Mr. Duke, I suppose, until you get a D. D. Duckie, D. D.,” she added laughingly. But in an in stant she was sober again. “I do love our job.. Tf I were a man Pd be a minister myself. Wouldn’t I be a peach?” He laughed, too, recovering his equa nimity as her customary buoyant brightness returned to her. . “You are,” he said, and Carol an swered:-. “Thanks,” very dryly. “We must go back now,” she added presently. And they turned at once, walking slowly back toward, the parsonage. “Can’t you ,write to me a little often- er, Carol? I hate to be a bother, but my unde never writes letters, and I Uke to know how my friends here are getting along, marriages, and deaths, and just plain gossip. ,PU like it very much if you can. I do enjoy a good correspondence with—” “Do you?” she.asked sweetly. “How you have changed! When I' was a freshman I remember you told me you received nothing, but business letters, because you didn’t want to take time to write letters, and—” “Did 17” For a second he seemed a Uttle confused. “Well, I’m not crazy about writing letters, as such. But PU fie iso glad, to get yours that I know TO even enjoy answering them.” Inside the personage gate they stood a moment among - the - rose bushes. Once again die offered her hand, and Be took it gravely, looking with sober IntentnSBs into her face,: a little pale In the mqonllght He noted again the royal little head with Its grown-up crown of hair, and the slender figure with its grown-up length of skirt. ., Then he put his arms around her, and kissed her warmly upon the child ish, unexpecting Ups. A swift red' flooded her face, and re ceding as swiftly, left her ’pale. Her lips quivered' a little, and she caught her hands together. Then sturdily, and only sUghtly tremulous, she looked into his eyes and laughed The profes sor was In nowise deceived by her at tempt-at lightheartedness, .remember ing as he did the quick quivering lips beneath his, and the unconscious yield ing-of the supple body In his arms. He condemned himself mentally in no. uncertain terms for having yielded to the temptation of her young loveliness, Carol still laughed, determined by her merriment-to set the seal of insignifi cance upon the act. 1 _ "Come and walk a Uttle farther, Carol,” he said in a low voice. .‘T want W say something else.” Shen aftcr n i few minutes of silence, he began rather awkryardly, and .David Arnold Duke was not usually awkward.: "Carol, you’ll think I’m a cad to say w hat’Pm going to, after doing what I have just done, but TO h.ave to risk that. You shouldn’t let men kiss you. It isn’t right. You’re too pretty and sweet and fine for it. I know-yon don’t allow it, commonly, but don’t at all. I hate to think of anyone even touching a girl like you.' Carol leaned forward, tilting back her head, and looking up at him roguishly, her face a-sparkle. - He blushed more deeply. “Ob, I know It,” he said. “Fm ashamed of myself. But I-.can’t help what you think of me. Tdo think you shouldn’t, let them, and I hope you won’t. They’re sure to want to.” ."Yes,” she Said quietly, very grown up indeed just then, “yes, they do. Aren’t men funny? They always want to. Sometimes we hear old women say, *Men are all alike.’ 'I never be lieve i t I hate old women who say it But—are they all alike, professor?” • ' • “No,” he said grimly, “they are not But I suppose any man Woifld like to kiss a girl as sweet as you are. But men are not all alike. Don’t you be- Ueve i t You won’t then, wUl you?” "Avon’t believe it? No.” “I mean,” he said, almost stammer ing in his confusion, “I mean you won’t let. them touch you.” Carol smiled teasingly, but in a mo ment she spoke, and very quietly. “P’fessor, Fll tell you a blood-red se- ret if-you swear up and down you’ll never tell anybody. Fve never told Lark—well,’one night when I was a sophomore—do you remember Bud Garvin?” “Yes, the tall fellow with black hair and eyes, wasn’t he? In the fresh man zoology class.” “Yes. Well, he took me home from a party. 'And Bud, weU—he put his nrm around me, and—maybe you don’t know it professor, but there’s a big difference In girls, too. Now some girls are naturally good. Prudence is, and so’s Lark. But Jfairy and I—well, we’ve got a lot of the original Adam in us. Bud’s rather nice and I let ‘him—oh, just a little, but It made me nervous and excited. But I liked It Prudence was away, and I hated to talk to Lark^that night, so I sneaked In Fairy’s room and asked if I might sleep with her. She said I could, and told me to turn on the Ught It wouldn’t disturb her. But I was so hot I didn’t want any light, so I undressed as fast as I could and crept In. Somehow, from the way I snuggled up to Fairy, she caught on. I Was out of breath, really I was ashamed of myself, but I wasn’t just* sure then whether Td ever let put his arm around ine again or not But Fairy turned oyer, and began to talk. - “She said that once, when she was fifteen, one of the boys at ExmlnSter kissed her good night And she didn’t mind it a bit. But father was putting the horses in the barn, and he came ,out just in time to see it; it was a moonlight night. After the* boys had gone, father hurried and took Fairy indoors for a Uttle talk, just the two of them alone He said that In all the years he and my mother were married, every time he Mssed her he’ remem bered that no mah but he had ever touched her lips, and it made him hap py. He said he was'always sort of thanking God inside, Vhenever he held her In his arms; He said nothing else in the world made a man so proud, and glad and grateful, as to know his wife was aU his own, and that even her Ups had been reserved, for him like a sa cred treasure that no,one else could share. He said it would take the meanest man on earth, and father thinks, there, aren’t many as mean as that, to go back on, a woman Uke that. Fairy said she; burst out crying ,be cause her husband wouldn’t ever be able to feel that way when he kissed •her.. But father said since she was so young and Innocent, and It being the first time, it wouldn’t really count.’ Fairy swore off that -minute—never again!, Of course, when I knew how father felt about mother, I wanted my husbnnd to have as much pleasure In me as father did In her, and Fairy and I made a solemn resolve that we would never,' even ‘hold hands,’ and that’s very simple, until we gob crazy enough about a man to think we’d Uke to marry him if we got a chance.- And I never have since then; not once.” “Carol.” he said In a low voice, “I wish I had known it. J j wouldn’t-have kissed you for anything. God knows I wouldn’t I - I IJiink I am man enough not to have done it anyhow, if I had only'thought a minute! but; God knows I wouldn’t have done it if I had known about this. You don’t know how-r-con- temptible—I fed.” “Oh, that’s aU right,” she said com fortingly, her eyes glowing. “That’s all right. We just meant-'beaux, you know. We didn’t include uncles, and fathers, and old 's6hbolteachers,"and things like that. Yoii don’t count. That isn’t breaking my pledge.” The professor smiled, but he remem bered the quivering lips, and the re laxing of the lithe body, and the forced laughter, and was -not deceived. . “You’re such a strange girl, Carol. You’re so 'honest, usually,' so kind- hearted, so generous. But you alvfays seem trying to make yourself look bad, not physically, that isn’t what I mean.” Carol smiled, and her loving fingers ca ressed her soft cheek. “But you try to make folks think you are vain and selfish, when you are not, Why db you do it? Everyone knows what you really are. All over Mount Mark they say you are the best little kid in town.’ "They do!” she said indignantly. “Well, they’d better not . Here Tve spent years building np my. reputation to suit myself, and then they go and shatter it like • that. They’d ' better leave me alone,” “But what’s tiie object?” “Why, now, p’fessor,” she said, care fully choosing her .words, "you know, it’s a pretty hard job living up to a good reputation. Look at Prudence and Fairy and Lark. Everyone just naturally expects them to be angeli cally and dlsheartenlngly good. And If they aren’t, folks talk. But take me now. No one expects anything of me, and if once in a while I do happen to turn out all right by accident, it’s a sort of joyful surprise to the whole community. IPs lots more fun sur prising folks by.belng better than they expect, than shocking them-by turning out worse than they think you will.’' “But it doesn’t do you any good,” he assured her. “You can’t fool them, Mount Mark knows its Carol.” “You’re not going?” she said, as he released her hand and straightened the collar of his coat. "Yes, you? father will chase me off if I don’t go now. How about the let ters, Carol? Think you can manage a little oftener?” ‘Td love to. It’s so inspiring to get a letter from a five-thousand-dollars-a year scientist; I mean, a was-once. Do my letters sound all right? I don’t want to get too chummy, you know.1 "Get as chummy as you can,” he urged her. “I enjoy i t ” ‘TH have to be more dignified if you’re going to McCormick. Presbyte rian !

Tha'nk you for coming out and for telling me the things you have. You have done.me good. You are breath of fresh,* sweet air.” , She moved her fingers slightly in his hand, and he looked down at them. Then he lifted them and looked again, admiring the slender fingers and the pink nails.- * “Don’t look,” she entreated. “They’re teaching me things. I can’t -help it This spot on my thumb ^is fried egg, here are three doughnuts'on my arm— see them? And here's a regular pan cake.” She pointed out the-pancake In her palm, sorrowfully. “Teaching you things, are they?” “Yes, I have to darn..

'‘Yery,.very serious.” - • “Goodby.” i “Goodby.” He held her hand a mo ment longer, and then turned suddenly away. She watched until he was out of sight, and then sUpped upstairs, un dressed in the dark and crept between the covers. Lark apparently Was sound asleep. Carol giggled softly to herself a few times, and Lark opened one eye, asking, “What’s amatter?” “Oh, such a good joke on p’fessor,” whispered Carol, squeezing her twin with rapture. "He doesn’t know it yet, but he’ll be so disgusted with himself when he AndslIt out.” “What In the world is it?” Lark was more coherent now.. ' . “I can’t tell you, but you’U certainly scream if you ever do know it.” ' , “You can’t tell me?” Lark was wide ,awake, and qulte'aghast. ■ “No, I truly can’t ” Lark drew away from the encircling arm 'with as much dignity as could be expressed in the dark and in bed, and sent out a series of deep breaths, as if to indicate that snores were close at hand. Carol laughed to herself for a while, until Lark really slept, then she buried her head In the pillow and her throat swelled wfth sobs that were heavy Ijut soundless. The next morning was Lark’s turn for making the bed. And when she shook up Carol’s piUow she found it *-ery damp. ■ , I Yhy, the Uttle goose,” she said to j herself, smiling, “she laughed until j she cried, all by herself.

For some time the twins Ignored the atmosphere of solemn mystery which pervaded their once so cheerful home. But when'it, finally reached the limit of thelr .endurance they marched In upon. thebr.aimt and Fairy with an ad mirable admixture of dignity and indig nation In their attitude. “Who’s haunted?” inquired Carol ab ruptly. “Where’s the criminal?” demanded Lark. “Yes, Uttle twins, talk English and maybe you’U iearn something.” “Then, In common.vernacular, though It is rgaUy beneath Ust- what’s up?” . Fairy turned limocently -'inquiring eyes toward the ceiling. “What, ,Iui deed?” * “Oh, don’t try to be dramatic, Fairy,” counseled Lark. “You’re' too fat for a star-Starr.” The twins beamed at each other ap provingly at* this, and Fairy smiled. But Carol returned promptly to the charge. “Are Jerry and Prudence hav ing domestic difficulties? There's some thing going , on, and we. want to know. Father looks Uke a faUen Samson, and—” "A fallen Samson, CarolI Mercyl where'did you get it?” “Yes, kind of sheepish, and ashamed, and yet hopeful of returning strength. Prudence writes,every day, and you hide the letters. And Aunt Grace sneaks around like a convict with her hand under her apron. And you look as heavy-laden as if you were carrying Connie’s conscience around with you.” Aunt Grace raised Ker eyebrows. Fairy hesitated, nodded, smiled. Slow ly then Aunt Grace' drew one hand from beneath her apron and showed to the eagerly watching twins a tiny, hand-embroidered dress. -They stared at it, fascinated, half frightened, and then .looked Into the serious faces of their aunt and sister. - • “I—I don’t beUeye It” whispered CaroL “She’s not old enough.” Aunt Grace smiled- . “She’s older than' mother was,” said Fairy.-. 1 Lark took the Uttle dress and' exam ined it critically. '"The neck’s too small,” she announced critically. “Nothing could wear that.” “We’re using this '.for a pattern,” said Fairy, lifting a -yeUowed, much- & The Next Morning Wae Lark’s Turn For Mqking Up the Bed. worn garment from the sewing basket "I . wore this, and so did you and did Connie—my lovely child.” Carol rubbed her hand about her throat In a puzzled way. “I can’t seem to realize that we ever grew out of that,” she said slowly.- “Is Prudence all right?” “Yes, Just fine.” The twins looked at each other bash fully. _ Then, ‘TH bet thereTl be no living with Jerry after this,” said Lark. "Ob, papa,” Usped Carol, In a high- pitched voice supposed to represent the tone of a Uttle child. They both giggled, and blinked hard to crowd back the tears that wouldn’t stay choked down.

The regularity of this aerial' inspection became a byword among the Americans. They set their watches by the airplanes of the enemy. On a certain day the word was cau tiously sent out to commanding officers that the entire division would move on the following day five miles to the eastward by a little south. The coun try was muddy, and an early start was to be made., That evening the air planes did not appear at S :30, and the Americans began Cracking jokes among themselves, finding fault with their watches. At 10 :150, however, the Germans ap peared, flying'low and dropping a num ber of suspicious looking bags of small size, Which were made distinctly visi ble by the searchlights: The soldiers were ordered not to touch these bags, a3 it was feared they might be a hew form of trick bomb. Early the next morning one of the bags was opened. It contained a printed circular In Eng lish reading somewhat'os follows: Causes Overhauling. “Greetings. to the officers and men of the—American division. • May you . A Printed .Circular in English. have apTeasant time going through'the mud tomorrow'morning to your new camp, five miles east by south.” Needless to say the entire system of communicating intelligence in the divi sion was overhauled, a«d every man connected therewith was constructive-' Iy held up and dissected as a possible spy,- without revealing in the slight est degree any infotm&tion showing how the Germans may have obtained knowledge of the order. - - 'French officers told the Americans- that this incident had "been repeated many times In Its essential features,' all along the front. a MULE'S AIM IS ACCURATE Twlee They Have Smashed Timepieees > Carried by Farmer Living In Indiana. _ Greensburg, -Ind.—Edgar Craig, 4 farmer residing near here, is looking for ^another watch following an en counter with a mule.

Any owner of one of these trucks can make it pay for itself by the additional work it will do for him in one season over the slow methods used in the past.

Whitehair writes an article for the American describing t],e heroism of our boys which makes the heart beat faster, Ko soldiers in all the tide of time ever ,lioa ed higher devotion and nobler consecration than our American lads iu this most horrible of all wrs. Here is a paragraph that thrills: •‘Across these pictures which are linrned into my memory is written, literally in blood, the word—Sac rifice. These boys who have lived their daily lives along side of you, trith their faults, their follies and their sins, have climbed to heights von at home cannot realize. It i s n ’ t just one or two, here and there. Heroism is as common as the nrad they live in.” When these boys come back home as a large number of them sill, they will not only have a great story to tell, they will have emerged into a new and higher realm. Sacrifice will have done its blessed work. Theywill have risen on -‘stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things.” Wehave talked with some of these boys, and they have told us that with all the hardships of camp lifetbey are happier than they ever were before in the conscious ness that they have conquered themselves, and have laid their llveson the altar of service for others. But the brave fellows who are already in the trenches, and who are facing the terrors of German lire—what a transformation they have undergone! Many of them lived lives of ease and comfort. They did not khow' the meaning of sacrifice. Now, they stand knee deep in mud and face the blazing fire of shot and shell with faceB un- blanched and nerves steady as die. Here is another glimpse from this writer who was an eye witness to the things he describes: “Their compassion for their en emy who is suffering is one ot the finest things I have ever witnessed. When this war is over and the German prisoners go home and tell the truth about their treatment at the hands of the British, that story uiust open the eyes of the nation', for it is a wonderful story of com passion and kindness. There, at the front, with fill the horror of I war, one comes again, and again I upon the real thing in Christianity. Onr agony has its compensation. Our boys are being made perfect through suffering. ' Their bloody trurk does not harden their hearts.

There are a lot of people who go through life just literally itching, as the saying goes; for an oppor. tunity to sue some person or cor poration. Many a man would de liberately stick his foot under a moving train just to get a chauoe to sue, but of course in o.rder to get good slice of the corporation’s money he must make it appear that the company .was at fault hence his hesitaney. If the city has occasion to opeu a ditch and through carelessness you fall in that ditch, then the first thing you want to do is to sue the city. Just at this time a young lady of Dur ham has high hopes of spending the balance of her days in ease all on account of not ^‘watching her step” and getting spilled into a coal chute. Coming from a store she naturally stepped from the door upon the sidewalk, but of course she was not supposed to be on the alert and consequently de liberately walked into an open chute where a man was unloading coal. Of course, the driver of the wagon was watchiag her, but that was none of the coal man’s affair, so he did not but in, but it is pre sumed that he aided and abetted in getting her out to the limit ot his strength. The complaint states that by this fail the young lady had both wrists painfully hurt and it is presumed that her digni ty was upset for the time being and probably she was very much em- b a ra sse d . Speaking seriously, there are more attractive positions, so far as the lady is concerned,- than going down a coal chute like a bundle of clothing coming. home from the washwoman’s house. At any rate she was wounded to the extent of $10,000 and the three defendants, the city, who was sup posed to own the streets, the coal dealer who sold the coal, and the merchant who bought the coal, are all guilty of serious crimes, from the viewpoint of the sueress. However, already the city has slip ped from under the charges, the coal man has shifted his part by showing that the coal was bought at the yards and was not delivered by that firm, but by an individual and that individual is not financi ally able to help the hurt Iadj in a suit. To many people their whole de sire is to get something for nothing and the law-auit is their last straw. —Exchange. B»i DANGERS OF A COLD. A Blot On The State. Statesville SentineL Another cold-blooded murder has been committed within - the bounds Cl the state and the perpe trators uf the crime, whoever they may be, go fiee. Another blot has been added to the already long list of unpunished crimes that mark the pages of the state aud at the same time the court again dem onstrates its inability to punish crime. Is it any wonder that the lynch man’s noose is held in readi- nesB by those who would feel de termined to see a.murder avenged by a “ life for life?” The govern, ment of North Carolina should take a hand in cases ot this kind that has jnst- been staged in Burke county and not allow a thing of this kiud to be pulled off without proper punishment, or at least a greater effort to mete out justice to those who shot down in cold blooded murder a citizen of North Carolina. Some say that Dr. Hennessee was a bad man, that is from the standpoint of the fighter, but whe ther he was or not, he fought fair and faced death when he did fight and did not slink up behind Iiis enemy by night and shoot from the back. Begardless oi his past char acter, or characterization, he waB a citizen of North Carolina and no matter bow much hatred might have been stored up by his enemies, should give them liberty to take his life and then go free and in going free cause the whole state to be more indelibly stamped as a state where the guilty are unpun ished unless it is a t. the hands of We IynchsrsI**-' •• - Hoke County Coming. “The Baeford High Schools orga nized War-Savings Societies and have 168 members who have bought $500 worth of stamps.

Congested kid neys faU behind in filtering the poison laden blood, and backache, headache, dizziness and bladder ills follow, Don't neglect a cold. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills at the first sign of kidney trouble. Here is an experience told by a resident of this locality. Mrs. R. F. McNeil, 307 Highland Ave., Winston-Salem, N. C., says: “I was down for several weeks with an awful cold winch settled in my kidneys. My back was so lame I could hardly get around. I felt tired aU the time and the least exer tion completely laid me up. My nerves were in 'a bad way and the least excite ment got me all unstrung. After taking Doan’s Kidney Pills, my back felt strong er. I used about two boxes in all and they made me feel like'a different wom an. I could sleep and eat better and my health greatly improved.” Price'60c. at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kid ney Pills—the same that Mrs. McNeil had.

By having these articles at hand it would often save the trouble of a trip town in the busiest season or in the n.ight, and would enable me to treat slight ail ments as soon as they appear, and there by avoid the more-serious diseases that so often follow.

The President spoke as follows: •‘Fellow citizens: This is the an niversary of our acceptance of Ger many’s challenge to fight for our right to live and be free, andfor the sacred rights of free men' everywhere. The nation is awake. There is no need to call to it. We know what the war must cost, ourt utmost sacrifice, the lives of our fittest men and, of need lie, all that we possess. The loan we are met to discuss is one of the least parts of what we are called upon to give and to do, though in itself it is imperative. The people of the whole country are alive to the necessity of it and are ready to lend to the utmost, even where it involves a sharp and daily sacrifice to lend out of meager Mixings. They will look with repro bation and contempt upon those who can and will not, upon those who de mand a higher rate of interest, upon those who tliink of it as a mere com mercial transaction. I have not come, therefore, to urge the loan. I have come only to give you, if I can, a more vivid conception of what it is for. “The reason for this great war, the reason why it had to come, the need io fight it through, and the issues that hang upo-E its outcome are more clear ly disclosed now than ever before. Tt is easy to see just what this particular loan means because the cause we are fighting for stands more sharply revealed than at any previous crisis of the momentous struggle. The' man who knows least can now see plainly how the cause of justice stands and what the imperishable thing is he is asked to invest in. Men in America may be more sure than they ever were before that the cause is their own, and that, if < it should be lost, their own great nation’s place and mission in the world would be lost with it. ■ ‘ “I call you to witness, my fellow countrymen, that at no. stage of this terrible business^have I judged the purposes of Germany intemperately. I should be ashamed in the presence of affairs so grave, so fraught with the destinies of mankind throughout all the world, to speak with trucu lence, to use the weak languages of hatred or vindictive purpose. We must judge as we would be judged. I have sought to learn the objects Ger many has in this war from the mouths of her own spokesmen- and to deal as frankly with them as I wished them to deal with me. I have laid bare our own ideals, our own purposes,- without reserve or doubtful phrase, and hare asked them to say as plainly what it is that they seek. “We have ourselves proposed no in justice, no aggression. We are ready, whenever the final reckoning is made to be just to the German people, deal fairly with the German power, as with all others. There can be no dif ference between peoples in the final judgment, if it is indeed to be a right eous judgment. To propose anything but justice, even-handed and dispas sionate justice to Germany at any time, whatever the outcome of the war, would be to renounce and dis honor our own cause. For we ask nothing that we are not willing to ac cord. “It has been with this thought that I have sought to learn from those who spoke for Germany whether it was justice or dominion and the execution of their own will upon the other na tions of the world, that the German leaders were seeking. They have an swered, answered in unmistakable terms. They have avowed- that, it was not justice but dominion and the un hindered execution of their own will. “The avowal has not come from Germany’s statesmen. It has come from her military leaders, who are her real rulers. Her statesmen have said that they wished peace, and werp ready to discuss its terms, whenever their opponents were wiHing to sit down- at the conference table with them. Her present chancellor has said, in indefinite and uncertain -terms, in deed, and in phrases that often seem to deny their own meaning, but with- as much plainness as he thought pru dent—that he believed that peace should be based upon the principles which we had declared would be our own in the final settlement.. ‘‘At Brest-Litovsk her Civilian dele gates spoke in similar terms; profess ed their desire to. conclude a fair peace and accord to the peoples, with whose fortunes they were dealing the right to choose their own allegiances. But action accompanied and followed the profession. Their military masters, the men who act for Germsriy and exhibit her purpose in execution, proclaimed a very different conclu- GROUND GLASS. FOUND IN NINE ARTICLES OF FOOD Announced by Major Gaines—Govern ment Has Found But One Case. San Antonio,- Texas.-—Proof of the ■presence of ground glass, in. nine dif- Ierent articles of food shipped to the 90th division Cbmmissary at Camp Travis, was announced by Major Noel Gaines, in- eharge of. the military po lice of the 90 th division. Fifty mem bers of oifleers’ 5Mn are HI, he sion. We can not mistake what they liave- done—in Russia, in Finland, in the Ukraine, in Rumania. The real test of their justice and fair play has come. :From this we may judge the' rest. They are enjoying in- Russia a cheap triumph.in which no brave or gallant nation can long-take pride. A great people, -helpless by their own act, lies for the time at their mercy. Their fair professions are' forgotten. They nowhere set up justice but ev erywhere impose their power and ex ploit everything for their own use and aggrandizement; and the peoples of conquered provinces are invited to be free under their dominipn. "Are we not justified in believing that they woudl do the same- things at their western front if they were not there face to face with armies whom even their countless divisions cannot overcome? ‘‘If they have felt their check to be final, they should propose favorable and equitable terms with regard to .Belgium and France, and Italy, could they blame ns if we concluded that they did so only to assure themselves of a free hand ia Russia and the Bast? “Their purpose is undoubtedly t© make all Slavic peoples, all the free and ambitious nations of the Baltic pe- ,ninsula, all the lands' that Turkey has dominated and misruled, subject to their will and ambition and build upon that dominion an empire of force upon which they fancy that they can erect an empire of gain and commercial su premacy—an empire as hostile to the Americas as to the Europe which it will overawe—an empire which will ultimately master Persia, India and the peoples of the Far East. In such a program our ideals, the ideals of justice and humanity and liberty, the principle of the free self-determina tion of nations upon which all the modern world- insists, can play no part. They are rejected for the ideals of power, for the principle that the strong must rule the weak, that trade must follow the flag, whether those to whom it is taken welcome it or not, that the peoples of the world are to be made subject to the patronage and overlordship of those who have the ' power to enforce It. “That program, once carried, out, America and all who care or dare to . stand with her must arm and prepare themselves to contest the mastery of the world, a mastery in which the rights ot common men, the rights of women and of all who are weak, must for the time being, be trod under feet and be- disregarded,'-the old age long struggle for freedom and. right begin again at its beginning. Every thing that America has lived for and loved and grown great to vindicate and bring to a glorious realization wil) have fallen- in uttei- ruin and gates ol mercy once more pitilessly shut upon man-kind. “The thing is preposterous and im possible, and yet, is not that what tho whole course and action of the Ger man armies has meant wherever they have moved? I do not wish,- even in this moment of utter disillusionment, to judge harshly or unrighteously, I judge only what the Gerinan arms have, accomplished with unpitying thoroughness throughout every fair re gion they have touched. "What then are we to do? For my self, I • am ready, ready still, ready even now, to discuss a fair and just' and honest peace at any time that it is sincerely purposed—a peace in which the strong and the weak shall fare alike. But the answer, when I proposed such a peace, came from the German commanders in Russia, and I can- not mistake the meaning of the answer. '"I accept the challenge. I know that you will accept it.' All the world shall know that you accept it. It shall ap pear in the utter sacrifices and self- forgetfulness with which we shall, give all that we love and all that we have to redeem the world and make it fit for- free men like ourselves to live This now is/ the meaning of all that, we do. Let everything that we say, my fellow countrymen, everything that we henceforth plan and accom plish, ring true to this response till the majesty and might of our concert-; ed power shall fill the thought and -. utterly defeat the force of those who ‘flout and misprize wha.t we honor and hold . dear. Germany has once more said that force,- and force alone, shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in the affairs of men, whether right as ,America conceives it, or do minion a s .she conceives it,, shall de termine the destinies of mankind. There is, therefore, but one response possible from us: force, force to the utm ost force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which shall make right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust.

IKlG AND COMPLETE VICTORY ARE SHATTERED TO BITS. FOGH BIDDING HIS TJME Meeting Assaults with Powerful Re sistance and Here and There "Conforming” Lines. The second phase of the great bat tle along the Somme has died down. It lasted less than. three days, and the fighting has resolved itself into more or less isolated engagements, in which the French and British allies have more than held their own. The attention of the Germans for the present is mainly directed at the lower end of the battle zone, which apparently they are attempting to en large for the purpose of getting elbow room in which to move their vast masses of troops. Meanwhile, General Foch, the com mander-in-chief of the allies,- is bid ing his time, meeting the German as saults with powerful resistance, and here and there conforming his lines to the necessities'; of the battle. It is confidently stated at Paris that Fooh will not be drawn into any false move—where each move is o£ such vital importance—but will strike with his reserves at the moment chosen by him. . There may be some significance in the report that the German emperor, after a conference on the western front on Saturday with his chiefs, Von Hindenburg and Ludendorff, intends to proceed to Rumania. At the out set of the great German offensive, when it was sweeping the allied forces before it, notwithstanding their tena cious resistance, Emperor William, it was announced officially from Berlin, was in supreme command. . That a^-. nouncement was regarded at the time as evidence that the emperor - expect ed a complete and decisive victory. Since then, 'however, British and French and American reinforcements have, come up. West of Noyan a German detach ment which had gained a foothold in. the French lines was forced out by a counter-attack. Another attack at Grivesnes was Tepulsed, but ,the Ger man efforts along the Oise to enlarge their previous gains were continued in the sector between Channy and Barisis. Here, the French' commander deemed it advisable to withdraw to positions previously prepared, and they are being held strongly. GENERAL PERSHING SENDS A STIMULATING MESSAGE Washington.—-From headquarters of the American expeditionary force in. France came a Liberty loan message from General Pershing. “Every dollar subscribed to the Liberty loan is a- dollar -invested in American manhood,” cabled the gen eral. “Every dollar subscribed as the result of self-denial means partner ship in the hardships and risks of our men in the trenches. Every dollar subscribed will contra the determina tion of our people at home to stand by its army to a victorious end. An over whelming subscription to -the' third Liberty loan will be a patriotic ex pression of confidence in our ability as a nation to maintain an that we hold dear in civilization.’’ ' Nearly 50 communities reported they had exceeded their quotas in the first day’s work, and thereby had won the right, along with 150 announced, to fly the Liberty loan honor flag. In a statement on behalf of the loan, Secretary Lane said: "The year of war has crystalized the spirit of our peoples. We know why we are fighting and to what eno. From a standing start, we have in one year made progress at which we should not be discouraged. The pur chase of Liberty bonds is the one ef fective way In which most of us can fight.” COUNTER-ATTACKS BY BRITISH SUCCESSFUL London.—Successful British coun- ter-attacks were launched against the Germans In Aveluy wood, on- the west, side of the Ancre river north of Al bert The war office statement issued says the British recaptured all their former positions. A German attack on, tLe railroad lines opposite Albert was repulsed and another Teuton as sault south of Hebuterne was com pletely broken up: by the Are of the British artillery. BOLO PASHA APPEALS.

HP HEAIIIEe GUNS Armenians Have Organized An Army jand Recaptured Erzerwin From the Turks, Says Report. After several days of comparative inactivity along the battle front in Picardy, bitter fighting has been re sumed along the western sector of the salient In the lines of the entente al lies: -Attacks by the Germans against the British and French are admitted to have yielded some gains to the in vaders in the critical sectors just to the east of the ctiy of Amiens. The fighting, according to latest re ports, has been heaviest in the neigh borhood of Hamel, where the British we^e forced back slightly, and in the triangle formed by the Rivers Luce anad Avre, farther to the South, where the French were forced to give ground. Nothing is known as to the details of the battles in these sectors, but the fact that the Germans have been in a degree successful would seem to indi cate that they have succeeded in braig- ing up some of their heaviest cannon and new divisions with which to con tinue their attempts to capture. Reports from the French and Brit ish fronts have mentinoed heavy rains which would mean that the Germans have been working under a severe handicap in bringing up guns, ammuni tion and supplies to the front. The battlefield over which the allies have retreated was left in a devastated con dition, the roads and bridges being mined in by the retreating forces. The lull in the battle for the last few days probably was caused by the inability -of the Teutons to move their heavy supply trains over these roads, togeth er with the necessity of reorganizing the shattered divisions which bore the 'brunt of the fighting after they had passed the first field of fire of their heavier guns. The British, since retaining Ayette, south of Arras, have not resumed their offensive operations^ so far as reported by London, but the German official statement says that four at tacks by the entente forces against the heights southwest of Moreuill were repulsed with heavy losses. There are no reports of fighting except out post encounters.along the French lines on the Oise river. There have been heavy artillery bombardments of British positions on the Menin road and at Passchendaele, east and northeast of Ypres, according to London. As yet, however, there is nothing to foreshadow an effort by the Germans to attack there. Con fronting them' are well, fortified linen and high ground held by the British and it is -improbable that a serious attempt to break through will be made- in tha£ sector. WAR COSTS AMOUNT TO- NINE BILLION A YEAR Washington.—Nine billion dollars is the approximate cost to the United States of-one year of war. More-than one-half has gone in loans to allies over one-third has been spent for the army and military es tablishments one-tenth for the navy and one-fifteenth for shipbuilding. Just one-sixth of this big war cost has been raised by taxation and other ordinary sources of revenue, and the balance has come from sale of Liberty bonds and certificates of indebtedness. Enormous as these war depend!- tures may seem to a country whose government in peace times costs be tween seven and eight hundred million dollars, they are less than Great Brit ain’s, and are only about two-thirds of estimates made -by officials less than a year ago. Slow progress of the ship building .programy, and the retarding of the outpouring of war supplies are regarded by officials as the chidf rea sons why expenses did not equal esti mates. VON KUEHLMANN SOOON TO MAKE "IMPORTANT;’ SPEECH Amsterdam.—At an important con ference ^ield, at German headquarters between the emperor, Field Marshal von Hindenburg, General von Duden- dorff'and Dr. Richard F. von KuehJ- mann, the German foreign minister, Count Czernin’s speech was discussed among othfer matters. It is understood that von Kuehlmann will deliver an- important speech at his earliest oppor tunity. Count Czernin- is expected at eBrlln and at headqnarters.

WITH AL LIES RECENTLY WERE NEAR POINT OF PEACE. ’ “LIES” SAYS CLEMENCEflU Peace Move, Evidently Conceived In Germany, Made Following Fail ure of Big Offensive. Washington.—American government officials and the entente embassies saw .another Teutonic peace offensive in the reported speech of Count Czer- nin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, declaring that recently nego tiations were near between the Aus trian and the allied governments. The move, evidently conceived in Germany, they said, was made just as it became certain that the German drive In the west had failed of its purpose and was intended to bring discord among the allied powers. The foreign minister’s statement that Premier Clemenceau, of France, had advanced a suggestion of peace discussions and his reference to Al sace-Lorraine as a stumbling block, it was declared here, were designed to create the belief that the allies’ de sire to recover Alsace-Lorraine for France is the only thing that stands in the way of peace. Officials and members of the diplo matic corps were unanimous in their declaration that Czernin’s statements had no basis of fact and further that no peace suggestions coming from the Teutonic powers would be given consideration at this time. Amsterdam.^—Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, ad- dresing a delegation from the Vienna city council which waited on him in connection with the burgomaster term ed “the aggravated distress of the population,” which is closely connect ed with the general political situation, said: “With the conclusion of peace with Rumania the war in the east endedi Before, however, turning to individual peace treaties and discussing them in detail, I would like to revert to the declaration of the President of the United States, in which he replied- to the, speech delivered by me on Janu ary 24. “In many parts of the world Presl- dent Wilson’s speech was interpreted as an attempt to drive a wedge be tween Vienna and Berlin. I do not believe , that, because I ha,ve too high an opinion of the President of the United States and his outlook as a statesman to believe him capable ot such a way of thinking. President Wilson is no more able to ascribe dis honorable action to us than we to him;” THE NATIONAL CREED CONTEST HAS CLOSED . Washington. — “The American’s Cree’d” for which the city of Baltimore offered a prize of $1,000 was made public here. Its selection was the re sult of a "national citizens' creed con test” approved by President Wilson Speaker Clark and a host of famous Americans.- The winner is William Tyler Page, of Friendship Heights, Md., near Washington. It reads: / “The American’s creed—I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the peo ple, for the people;' whose just pow ers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a re public; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which Amer ican patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. “I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its' constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.”.

DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. To the Executive Committee N. C. Farmers Union: At the last annual meeting of the State Union at Winston-Salem I ac cepted a unanimous re-election as or- ganizer-lecturer for the ninth time with misgivings, and only under the hope that' the universal condemna tion by the press of North Caro lina of the State' president’s disloyal attitude, in the greatest of all world struggles for human freedom, would at least make it undesirable on his part which seems to he more or less under the eyes of the secret service men as possibly cn undesirable publication to be transmitted, through the mails. But by far the saddest tragedy that resulted from the political caucusing at the Winston-Salem meeting was the sacrificing of Dr. Clarence Poe, of the Progressive Farmer, by prevent ing his re-election as a member of the executive committee, by a margin of a few votes a place which Dr. Poe had never sought, but a position in which he had rendered more valuable serv ices to the Farmers Union than all other'officials'in it. That such a thing could have happened in a Farmers Union convention in North Carolina seems strange and almost unthinkable to the membership, but it was no sur prise to those who were acquainted with the political methods that were at work. In tendering this my resignation as State organizer-lecturer may I venture the suggestion that as a temporary ex pediency in a convention attempts to make a martyr of an official who seeks re-election by holding out the idea that an attack upon him is equivalent to an attack upon the Farmers Union, may serve an immedidate purpose, as it has done, but in this age of the dis semination of intelligence by rural mail delivery, the effects of that sort of campaigning cannot be very far- reaching. This severing of my official connec tion does not imply that I have anyto receive further odious publicity and Dersona, Crievanees whatever or thatthat a sufficient amount of official Si- L w L th l U __„ .___. ...... I have in any way lost faith in thelence would prevail to make it possi ble-to proceed with the legitimate con structive work of the organization without a further humiliation of it3 loyal members who are keeping their local unions alive nad active in com munity co-operation under their own initiative and independent of the po litical activities of individual State officials, who have built for themselves a political program over which they became exceedingly enthusiastic and’ over which the rank and file of a re maining membership are profoundly and admirably indifferent. When I entered into the Farmers Union work in 1908 my greatest fear was that activities of those who were by nature more interested in political questions than in constructive co-oper ative efforts might ultimately have the effect of hastening a premature disin tegration of the organization. My ef forts from the .beginning have been, concentrated along constructive lines under the predominating idea of per petuating the organization, making the local unions vital and active agencies, under strong and efficient community leadership, such as would make them strong and potent factors for the pro motion of better farming, better busi ness and better living in the country. There are a few local unions of this kind existing now in this State, but they exist only under efficient commu nity leadership, which, in- most in stances, is active only under its own initiave and independent of any counsel, political or otherwise, from State officials. This evolution in which the principle of self-government has become a strong element exempli fies the need of organizing the SUCi cessor of the Farmers Union stronger at the bottom with less counsel from the top. The most expensive mis takes have been those that came through efforts to build structures from the top downward, efforts that were too often very much mixed and muddled with presentations of politi cal “problems” of a general nature. In view of the recent renewed re pugnant activities of the State Presi dent and his part of. the “advisory council," in which a hostile attiude is maintained against the Govern ment’s plans of financing the war by the sale of bonds, having usurped to themselves the privilege of repudiat ing the action of the State Union In its substantial endorsement of the Government’s plan by instructing that ten thousand dollars of the State ' Union’s funds be invested in Liberty Bonds, thus inviting more odious pub licity through the press, I would hot be frank with you or true to my own conscience if I should not declare to you that it is not humanly possible for me to conscientiously ask any man to. become a member of the Farmers Union under its present treasonably active State leadership. At the recent State meeting of the Farmers Union I recall a dramatic performance when a member read some socialistic literature then refer red with approval to .that very parti san organization known as the “non- partisan Ieaguett which has been eleet- ■ ing men to political office in the Mid dle West, and was suggesting that the time had arrived for us to throw our hats into the political ring, when he was called down hy a gray-baired vet eran delegate from one of the eastern counties and was finally ruled “out of order” by the presiding officer. It is a rather natural coincident that the gentleman who Wantqd to “throw his hat info the ring” is now nominally managing editor of that defensive per sonal organ of Jhe president; known as the “ Farmers Union Bulletin,’’ any way ultimate possibilities of rural organ ization directed along practical lines, or that my services, as far as practi cal' will not be available to commu nities interested in rural organization. There has probably never been a more opportune time to begin to organize a successor to the Farmers Union, which should retain most of its finances in the local organization and under a plan that , will make the struc ture stronger at its foundation, as it should be. J. Z. GREEN. Administrator Jumps Violators. Dealers in foodstuffs in North Caro lina are beginning to find that the food control law and the orders and regulations of the Food Administra tion' have teeth. One reputable whole sale house in North Carolina was guilty recently of'violating a rule of the Food Administration which pro hibits resale within a trade. Food Ad ministrator Page gave the firm a hear ing to show cause why its license should not be revoked. • The dealers were apparently, honest in their be lief that they had done no wrong. Mr. Page did not see it that way but upon a tender of $200 to the Red Cross ,he let the firm off with anadmonition in stead of the revocation of its license. J. Habit, a Syrian grocer at Eden- ton, was not just clear aB to what control the Food Administration had over his business and he sold some sugar for more than 10 cents a pound and some flour without the accompa nying cereal substitutes. Mr. Habit was given a hearing and a “black list” order was issued against him. Facing the gradual disintegration Of his business as his present stock was exhausted, Habit woke up to the fact that every individual In this country i has some responsibility to the country and to humanity in the present emer gency. Becoming deeply penitent and making promises of earnest and ef fective co-operation with the Food Administration, Mr. Habit has been allowed to contribute $100 to his local chapter of the Red Cross and the “black-list” order has been withdrawn. Devotes Time to Hog Raising. Mr. Herbert Woodard, of Wilson, hai5 severed his connection with leading wholesale grocery concern; and will, in the future, devote his whole time to raising hogs from the purest strains of Durocs and Poland- Chinas. A few miles out from Wilson he has stocked his pens with 21 brood sows—13 Durocs and eight Poland- Chinas. Two of the sows cost -nearly $1 ,100, daughters from the famous “Old Defender,” $10,000 boar. On a 100-acre farm he has construct ed modem barns and feed rooms with cement floors and properly construct- ecftpens for the care of brood sows, sanitary drinking trougs, self-oiling medicated “rubbing posts,” shelters for protection against storms, isolat ed pens for sick stock and everything conducive to the health of swine.

Liberty Bonds Aids Our War, Our Army, Our Boys. HOW WORUN DO THEIR BIT Investment Brings Good Returns, in Addition to Giving Financial As sistance Every Loyal Citizen Owes His Government. (By EVA DEAN of the Vigilantes.) It was just another day In the fac tory. There was nothing prophetic In the hum of the machines; it'waS quite the everyday . hum. The workmen talked loudly to be heard; they always talked while they worked; they liked the sound of their own voices, dft mat tered not much- what they said—the same joke will, do day after day In a factory; an old one Is almost as good as a new one to break the mental monotony. When one’s habitual activ ity is with one’s fingers one isn’t very critical of mental efforts. Still, were you to ask them, any of the men would have said they pre ferred an argument to all other kinds of brain exercise. Argument is what they-would have called any of the ver bal volleys they fired back and forth at one another from their inexpert mental batteries, while their expert fingers moved ceaselessly at their tasks. And nowadays there is always enough to argue about—the war! The only trouble—though no one really seemed to mind that—was that there was no one around to uphold the gov ernment in these controversies. Of the hundred men employed—for it was a small factory—there was but one with an American-born pnrent, though a considerable number were themselves born In America. The one hundred were all here by choice, how ever, and hardly one ever really ex pected to live anywhere else. But they talked as though they might; and one could Imaging they expected the Unit ed States to immediately offer them Inducements to stay when It heard of their intended leaving. They Discuss Liberty Bonds. Charles, in the lightest corner—a few years ago he would have been Karl—was always talking about the price of food: “I take a Liberty bond? Indeed I’ll not I If the government bad kept prices down, and protected the working man, and kept the rich man from making -war profits, why, I might. There is going to be trouble In this country some day and the gov ernment deserves all that is coming to them. The government ought to do everything it can to keep the good will of the people. Why—beer—” Charles can never talk long without mention ing. beer. Jo—whose early training was In a protectorate—was a bom financier. He had actually been talking about a bond on the dollar-a-week plan, but no one In the workrooms seemed to think it a good investment It would be bet ter to buy sugar or whisky and keep it for a higher price. So Jo had simply talked for the past two weeks; he had not -decided. One might get 4% per cent, or even 5 per cent later! It would be better to wait. “The government don’t feed the boys in camp!” shouted the porter. "Of course it don’t,” yelled the thin man by the window. “We don’t know what goes on there. No wonder lots of them commit suicide!” “Well—Td like to buy a bond,” broke in Old Bailey, courageously. Old Bai ley was bom among the Pennsylvania Dutch. “But, with sixteen dollars a week, and a family, I don’t see how I can.” “Nor do I,” said the tall young man of whom the men said, “His mother was bom here.” AU Are Buying Bond6. The machines hummed on, the voices rising and falling in opposition, when suddenly the eager face of ,To—the news gatherer—was thrust through the door: “There’s an Italian banker In the second room talking to the wops about Liberty bonds,” he informed. The voices ceased. Everybody wished he could hear. “He’s still talking! AU the wops are in there,” .spread the news to every comer of the building; and then close upon that: “They’re buying them; every one of the wops are buying them!” In a shorter time than it could have taken a man to walk through the build ing, every one In It knew that the wops—the -lowest-paid men of them all—were buying I' Jberty bonds. Presently all the workmen who could understand English were assembled In one room. They looked about cu riously at one another; never before had they seen themselves eh masse. It was a strange assembly, with its dirty aprons, its rough, lined faces and quiet tongues. It must have seemed such to the salesman; his mouth set per ceptibly as he looked about at his au dience. , The Italian orator had gesticulated grandly; and there had been much of “Italia! Italia!” But this man, after his first look at the faces before him, decided not to talk patriotism. So he simply stated that.our government was at war. Very dearly he explained what that meant financially; he. ac knowledged that living was high and hard, but nevertheless everyone who did not help was a slacker. And. in convincing, conclusion: “If we don’t give our money, the government Is go ing to take it anyhow.. It has to have it. It will make us pay it In taxes; and then we not only will not have any interest, but we’ll have nothing to show for the money. In the second room they all helped. Hqw many of you are going to help? ' How many here want bonds?” Partnership With Government. Evidently tlie factory considered it a “good argument.” And then the wops, ,with their despised salaries, had subscribed; everyone was thinking about Uiat The hands began to go up, and a line' of applicants was quickly formed. The tall young man. (whose mother was an American) had stood, hesitat ing, unUl he saw Old Bailey’s gray head bend over the signature bench; and then, smiling, he slipped in be hind him, muttering, “If he can, I can.” Now the machines were humming again and argument began once more. The -thin man by the window was the first to speak. “Well,” he com mented, "we’ve got. to do something for the boys!” - “When I get this paid, maybe they’ll have a 5 per cent bond,” said Jo, the financier. “America and Italy; we gotta make kill alia de kings—alia no good!” nod ded one of the contributors from the second room, with approval. It was the same everyday hum of the machines, but the factory was dif ferent. It was no longer, a critical, skeptical spectator of Uie struggle of civilization, bitterly suspicious of Its own government It and the govern ment were now partners. The war no no longer the government’s war; it was our war, our army, our boys, and the factory was doing its bit! The bond salesman, perhaps, added up the result of his work with some satisfaction; but by far the greater and most important part of It he knows nothing about. WOMEN TO THE FORE Wives and Mothers Know Value of Liberty Bonds. War Behind the.Lines Is Being Prose cuted on a Tremendous Scale— Every Woman Can Help Dq Something. (By ALBERT W. ATWOOD, Financial Writer for the Saturday Evening Post.) The day seems to have, passed when woman’s education consisted of piano lessons and a little polite French. Now she studies biology, pkychology, and all the other ologies. In this great and radical change in the posi tion of ,woman it will not do to over look the change In her relation to •money matters. It is no longer un- 'womanly to know something about money. Feminine charm is not di minished by knowing the difference between a bond and a share of stock. Millions of women earn their living today. Hundreds of thousands have independent means and must decide for themselves In affairs financial. More and more of the wives, mothers, and sisters not only spend the house hold money, but are consulted by the men when an investment is to be made. It matters not whether the investment consists of a victrola, an automobile, or a bond. It is said men do not take their wives into their con fidence when they gamble or take a flyer, but It Is also said that deception in these matters does not pay. So there is every material reason why women should do their part and more in floating the Liberty bonds. Indeed a woman recognizes a gold dollar just as quick as a man, and when It pays good interest in addition she is not going to turn it down. But there Is more than, a purely busi ness and selfish side to the womeD of this country. They,'have surprised even themselves with their executive ability and powers of business organ ization. The Red Cross and every other variety of relief work has been In Its detail largely the result of woman’s- effort. Behind the lines women are prose cuting the war on a tremendous scale. There are millions of men as well as women who cannot fight in the trenches, who cannot even drive mo tortrucks or work in munition fac tories. There are some people who can not even successfully raise a vegetable garden, but there Is not an adult man or woman outside the poorhouse and the hospital who cannot either buy or help to sell a Liberty bond. It is the least they can do. Don’t Buy Too Big a Bond. Here is a word of advice for the farmer bond purchaser. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Your gov ernment doesn’t want you to “strap” yourself 'or run Into financial difficul ties trying to pay for a bond. Buy one small enough so you will be able to pay for it In the allotted time without having, to borrow money to . meet: the obligation. Its value will represent your savings for that period of time.- If your circumstances won’t permit of you purchasing a $x,000 ,bond, buy on ly a $500 one. Don’t . complicate our already complicated financial problem" by assuming a debt you can’t pay. He Wants to Win Thffi War. Do You? A father in a little Illinois town re ceived a cablegram the other day from General Pershing, announcing the death of his two sons over there, *klll- 'ed In action.” He went out and sold his home and bought Liberty Bonds. • T m the only one left now and ,TO rent a room for myself,” was his only comment - FOOD PROFITEERS HIT GERMAN POOR False Reports of Poor Harvests Are Made Public. CITY DWELLERS IMPOSED OH Suffering of Poorer Classes Has Be come Almost Unbearable—Appeals Madeto Farmersto Resist the Temp tation to Sell Products Secretly at High Prices—German Papers Give Accounts qf Food Smuggling. Pactlcally coincident with the pub lication here of cablegrams telling of the rejoicing occasioned in Germany at the prospect of obtaining some of the food supplies supposed to be ex istent in the territory nominally tin ier the control of the Ukrainian Rada, which made peace with the central powers on February 9, reports found In belated copies of German, Swiss, and London newspapers reaching this country showed that, under the sys tem of distribution prevailing in Ger many, the masses of the-kaiser’s sub jects were not likely to .benefit very much by a small increase in the stock of foodstuffs. ■While the items printed In the Ger man press do not indicate that there is any probability of the German na^ tion being actuajly starved into sug gesting peace negotiations in a man ner acceptable to the allied countries, the suffering of the poorer classes has become almost unbearable, and, as has been mentioned In cablegrams from neutral countries, is principally responsible for the peace agitation that is occasionally intensified by strikes and their suppression by the iron hand of lie Prussian militar ists. ■ Buy Products Secretly. At the time of the Neukolin scandal in December, it was brought out that the big munition manufacturers of that Berlin suburb, with the conni vance of the government, had secretly bought large supplies offoodstuffs at prices far above the legal maximum, and had resold them -to their em ployees at still higher rates. The pub- ’ lication of these revelations In the Ber liner Vorwaerts gave the German news papers of a semimoderate or liberal tendency a chance to criticize both the government and the agrarians and mu nition makers for their diversion of much-needed supplies from the masses of the people for the special benefit of a favored clique. In self-defense, Herr von Waldow1 the food dictfitor, has announced that he proposes to tighten the control of the handling of foodstuffs. He talks of heavy punishments for profiteering middlemen, sharper control of the trade in so-called “seed,” sharper con trol of Illicit cattle dealing, stricter su pervision of railway traffic—becaufe enormous quantities of foodstuffs are transported under false declarations— and, finally, better co-operation be tween the civil authorities and the war food-bureau of the Prussian min istry of- war, which is largely respon sible for the promotion of secret trad ing in the interests of the war indus tries, but at the expense of the ordi nary civil population. This press controversy tends to con- firm cabled reports early In the win ter suggesting that the shortage of food In the towns, and the consequent evidence in many places - of extreme privations are out’of -all proportion to the actual state of supplies in Ger many, as a whole. The Frankfurter Zeitung, In a review of the whole sub ject, not only demonstrates that gov ernment lack of control is at fault, but shows that the whole aspect of -the food situation has been falsified by un reliable harvest statistics. The paper says that the harvest returns repre sent the grossest forgery that has ever been seen, and that, as regards pota toes, of which it says there is an enor mous supply, the statistics based upon the returns of the producers probably show less than one-half of the actual yield. False Harvest Statistics. The situation is said to be nearly as bad as regards -the statistics of the grain harvest, and there are districts In which thrashings have shown re sults double the estimate based upon acreage. Hence the large quantities of food at the disposal of the profi teers. The Frankfurter Zeitung concludes: . " “Secret trading and exorbitant prices go together, and' they are the most dangerous enemies of security. There are at, present no articles which are not the objects of the most impudent profiteering. The bread ration in the towns has been reduced to a level cor responding to the results of statistics which are absolutely false; meanwhile, the mills, go on turning their secret supplies of grain into flour, which is then delivered to people who gladly pay ten times the officially established price. It is just the same with but ter, fats, eggs, and vegetables as with' flour and potatoes. What we need is a firm hand.” In.order to influence the agrarians by moral suasion to release their food stores, the government is taking large parties of farmers on tour In the great industrial- districts. They are seeing the conditions of work in the principal industries and the conditions of living, and they are hearing lectures at which models are exhibited'of the daily ra- CORNS, LIFT OUT!

Mr. Starr, a Methodist minister at Mount Mark, Ia., and the affairs of his five IoyaGle daughters—Prudence, the eldest; Fairy, the next; Carol and Lark, twins; and Connie, the “baby.” Prudence marries and goes away. Her place as “mother” In the home Is taken by Aunt Grace. Ealiy is engaged to wed.

Carol discovers love.\ __________________________'___________________ V CHAPTER IX—Continued. —10— “Yes, he wanted to. But Prndence has set her heart on coming home. She says she’ll never feel that Jerry Junior got the proper start If it happens any place else. They’ll have a trained nurse.” “Jerry—what?” gasped the twins, after a short silence due to amazement. “Jerry Junior—that’s what Uiey call It” “But how on earth do they know?” “They don’t know. But they have to call It something, haven’t they? And they want a Jerry Junior. So of course they’ll get it. Por Prudence Is good enough to get whatever she wants.” "Hum, that’s no sign,” sniffed Carol. “I don’t get everything I want, do I?” The girls laughed, from habit, not from genuine Interest, at Carol’B subtle Insinuation. “Well, shall we have her come?” “Yes,” said Carol, “but you tell Prue she needn’t expect me to hold It until It gets too big to wiggle. I call them nasty, treacherous little things. Mrs. Miller made me hold hers, .and It squirmed right off my knee. I wanted to spank It.” “And tell Prudence to uphold the parsonage and have a white one,” added Lark. “These little Indian efr fects don’t make:a hit with me.” "Are you going to tell Connie?” “I don’t think so—yet. Connie’s only f ■ urteen.” “You tell her.” Carol’s voice was emphatic. “There’s nothing mysteri ous about It. Everybody does it. And Connie may have a few suggestions of her own to offer. Xou tell Prue Tm thinking out a lot of good advice for her, and—” “You must write her yourselves. She wanted us to tell you long before.” Fairy picked up the IltUe embroidered dress and kissed It,, but her fond eyes were anxious. So, a few weeks later, weeks crowd ed full of tumult and anxiety, yes, and laughter, too, Prudence and Jerry came to Mount Mark and settled down to quiet life In the parsonage. The girls kissed Prudence very often, leaped quickly to do her errands, and touched her with nervous fingers. But mostly they sat across the room and regarded her curiously, shyly, quite maternally. “Carol and Lark Starr,” Prudence cried crossly one day, when she Inter cepted one of these surrepUUous glances, “you march right upstairs and shut yourselves up for thirty minutes. And if you ever sit around and stare at me like a stranger again, TH spank you both. Tm no outsider. I belong here just as much as ever I did. And I’m stUl the head of things around here, too!” The twins obediently mafched, and after that Prudence was more like Pru dence, and the twins were much more twinnlsh, so that life was very nearly normal In the old parsonage. Prudence said she couldn’t feel quite satisfied because the twins were too old to be punished, but .she often scolded them In her gentle, - teasing way, and the twins enjoyed It more than anything else that happened during'those days of quiet. Then camera night, when the four sisters huddled breathlessly In the kitchen, and Aunt Grace and the trained nurse stayed behind with Pru dence behind the closed door of the front room upstairs. And the doctor went In, too, after he had inflicted a few Iightrhearted remarks upon the two men in the IltUe library. After that—silence, an Immense hushing silence—settled down over the parsonage. Jerry and Mr. Starr, alone In the library, where a faint odor of drugs, anesthetics, .something that smelled like hospital# lingered, stared away from each other with persistent determination. “Where are the girls?” Jerry asked, picking up a roll of cotton which had been left on the library, table, and flinging It from . him as though It scorehed his fingers. “I—think I’ll go. and see,” said Mr. Starr, turning heavily. Jerry hesitated 'a minute. "I—think ril go along,” he said. ..For an instant their "eyes me^T sym pathetically, and did not smile Uiough Uieir lips curved. - Down In the !kitchen, meanwhile, B1Uiry sat somberly beside the table with a pile of darning which she ubbed at viciously with Uie needle, ,ark was.perched on the Ice chest, but ,'arol. true tocher childish Insi hunched on the floor with her feet curled beneath her. Connie leaned against the table within reach of Fairy’s hand. “They're awfully slow,” she com plained once. Nobody answered. The deadly si lence clutched them. “Oh, talk,” Carol blurted out des perately. “You make me sick I It Isn’t anything to he so awfully scared about. Everybody does It.” A IItUe mumble greeted this, and then, silence again. “Whenever It grew too painful, Carol said reproach fully, “Everybody does ,it." And no one ever answered. They looked up expectantly when the men entered. It seemed cozier somehow when they were all together In. the UtUe kltchehn. iTs she all right?” “Sure, she’s all right,” came the bright response from their father, And then silence. “Oh, you make me sick,"-cried CaroL “Everybody does it” “Carol Starr, If you say ‘everybody does It’ again Fli send you to bed,” snapped Fairy. “Don’t we know every body does it? But Prudence Isn’t ev erybody.” “Maybe we’d better have a lunch,” suggested their father hopefully, know ing the thought of food often aroused his family when all other means had failed. But his suggestion met with dark reproach. “Father, if you’re hungry, take piece of bread out Into the woodshed,” begged Connie. “If anybody fats any thing before me I shall jump up and down and scream.” After that the silence was unbroken save once when Carol began encour agingly: “Every—” “Sure they do,” Interrupted Fairy uncompromisingly. And then—the hush. Long, long after that, when the girls’ eyes were heavy, not with want of sleep, but just with unspeakable weari ness of spirit—Uiey heard a step on the stair. “Come on up, Harmer,” the doctor called. And then, “Sure, she’s all right She’s fine and dandy—both of them are.” Jerry was gone In an instant and Kr. Starr looked after him with inscru table eyes. “Fathers are—only fa thers," he said enigmatically. “Yes,” agreed Carol. “Yes. In a crisis, the other man •goes first.” . K s daughters turned to him then, tenderly, sympathetically. “You had your turn, father,” Connie consoled him. And feit repaid for the effort when he smiled at her. “Jetty Junior,” Lark mused. “He’s here.—‘Aunt Lark, may L have cooky?’” A few minutes later the door was carefully shoved open by means of a cautious foot, and Jerry stood before them, holding In his arms a big bundle of delicately tinted flannel. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, beaming at them, his face flushed, his eyes bright, embarrassed, but thor oughly satisfied. Of course Prudence was the dearest girl in the world, and he adored her, and—but this was dif ferent, this was fatherhood! “Ladies and gentlemen,” he said- again In the tender, half-laughing voice that Prudence loved, “let me introduce to you my little daughter, Fairy Har mer." “Not—not Fairy 4” cried Fairy, Sen ior, tearfully. “Oh, Jerry, I don’t be lieve I t Not Fairy! You are joking.” “Of course it Is Fairy,” he said. “Look out, Connie, do you want to break part of my daughter off the first thing? Oh, I see. It was just the flan nel, was- It? Well, you must be care ful of the flannel, for when ladles are the size of this one, you can’t tell which is flannel and which is foot Fatey Harmer! Here, grandpa, what do you think of this? And Prudence said to send you right upstairs, and hurry. And the girls must go to bed immedi ately or they’ll be nick tomorrow. Pru dence says’ so.”- - "Oh, that’s enough. That’s Prudence all over! You needn’t tell us any more. Here, Fairy Harmer, let us look at you. Hold her down, Jerry. Mercy! Mercy!” “isn’t she a beauty?” boasted the young father proudly. “A beauty? A beautyj That!” Carol rubbed her slender fingers over her own velvety' cheek. “They talk about the matchless skin ot a new-born Infant Thanks. Pd-Just as lief have my own.” “Oh, she isn’t acclimated yet, that’s all. Do you thtnfc she looks like me?” “No; Jerry, I don’t ” said Lark can didly. “I never considered you a dream of loveliness, by any means, but in due honesty I must admit that yon don’t look like that” “Why, It hasn’t any hair!” Connie protested. “Well, give it time,” urged the baby’s father. “Be reasonable, Connie, ^What can you expect in'fifteen minutes." “But they always have a IltUe hair,” she Insisted. “No, indeed, they don’t Miss Con nie,” he said flatiy. "For If they al ways did, ours would have. "Now don’t try to let on there’s any thing the matter with her, for there Isn’t.—Look at her nose, If you don’t like her hair.—What do you tM n ir of a nose like that now? Just look at It” “Yes, we’re looking at it ” was the grim reply. “And—and chin—look at her chln.- See here, do you mean to say you are making fun of Fairy Harmer? Come on, tootsie, we’ll go back upstairs. They’re crazy about us up there.” “Oh, see the cunning littie footles,” crowed Connie, j “Here, cover ’em up,’ said Jerry anx iously. “You mustn’t let their feet stick out Prudence says so. It’s con sidered very—er, bad form, I believe.” “Fairy! Honestly, Jerry, Is It Fairy? When did you decide?” “Oh, a long time ago,” he said, “years ago, I guess. You see, we al ways wanted a girl. Prue didn’t think she had enough experience with the stronger seS yet and of course Tm strong for the ladles. But it seems that what you want Is what you don’t get So we decided to caff her Fairy when she came, and then we wanted a boy, and talked boy, and got the girl! Let go, Connie, It is my daughter’s bed time. There now, there now, baby, was she her daddy’s IltUe girl?” Flushed and laughing, Jerry broke away from - the admiring, giggling, nearly tearful girls, and hurried up stairs with Jeny Junior. But Fairy stood motionless by the door. “Prudence's baby,” she whis pered. “Littie- BWry HarmerI — Mmmmmmm I” s CHAPTER X. • The End of Fairy. Now that the twins had attained to the dignity of eighteen years, and were respectable students at the thor oughly respectable Presbyterian col lege, they had. dates very frequentiy. And it was along about this time that Mr. Starr developed a sudden interest in the evening callers at his home. He bobbed up unannounced In most unex pected places and at most unexpected hours. He walked about the house with a sharp, sly look In his eyes, In a way that could only be described as Carol said, by "downright noisiness. And the Doctor Went In, Too. The girls discussed this new phase of his character when they were alone, but decided not to mention it to.him, for fear of hurting his feelings. “May be he’s got a new kind of a sermon up his brain,” said Carol. “Maybe he’s beginning to realize that his clothes are wearing out. again,” suggested Lark. “He’s too young for second childhood,” Connie thought So they watched him-curiously. Aunt Grace, too, observed this queer devotion on the part of the minister, and finally her curiosity overcame her habit of keeping silent “William,” she said gently, “what’s the matter with you lately? Is there anything on your mind?” Mr. Starr started nervously. “My mind? Of course not Why?” . “You seem to be looking for some thing. You watch the girls so closely, you’re always hanging around, and—” He smiled broadly. ' “Thanks for th a f “Hanging around,’ In my own ■parsonage. That Is the gratitude of a' loving family I”Aunt Grace smiled. "Well, I see, there’s nothing much the matter with you. I was seriously worried. I thought there was something wrong, and—” “Sort of mentally unbalanced," Is that It? Oh, no, Pm Just watching my family.” She looked up quickly. W atching the family! You mean—” “Carol,” he said briefly, “Carol! You’re watching—* “Oh, only In the most honorable way, of course. Yon see," Jw gave his ex- alanation with an air of relief, “Pra- Aatw Mways says I TBOBt keep an eye, on Carol. She’s so pretty, and the boys' get stuck on her, and—that’s what; Prudence says. J. forgot all about It: for a while. But lately I have begun to notice that the boys are older, and— we don’t want Carol falling In Iovo with the wrong man. I got uneasy. I decided to watch out Tm the head of this family, yon know.” “Such an ideal” scoffed Auht Grace, who was not at all of a scoffing na- true. “Carol was bom for lovers, Prudence soys so. And these men’s girls have to be watched, or the wrong fellow will get ahead, and—” “Carol doesn't need watching—not any more at least” ‘Tm not really watching her, you know. Tm just keeping my eyes open.” “But Carol’s all right That’s one’ time Prudence was away off.” She smiled as she recognised a bit of Car ol’s slang upon his Ups. Don’t worry about her. You needs?* keep nn eye on her any more. Ste&& coming, all right” “You don’t think there's say danger of her falling in love with the wrong man?” “No “There aren’t many worth-having fellows In Mount Mark, you know.” “Carol won’t fall In love with a: Mount Mark fellow.” “You seem very positive." “Yes, Tm positive.” He looked thoughtful for a while. “Well, Prudence always told me to watch Carol, so I could help her if she needed It” . “Girls always need their fathers," came the quick reply. “But Carol does not need you particularly. There’s only one of them who. will require es pecial attention.” "That’s what Prudence says." "Yes, just one—not Carol.” “Not Carol!” He looked at her In astonishment “Why, Fairy and Lark are—different They’re all right They don’t need attention.” “No. It’s the other one.” “The other one! That’s an.” “There’s Connie.” "Connie?” “Yes.” “Connie?” “Yes.” “You don’t mean Connie.” , Aunt Grace smiled. ' “Why, Grace, you’re—you’re off. ’ Hx- cuse me for saying It, but—you’re crazy. Connie—why, Connie has never been any trouble In tier life. Connie In “You’ve never had any friction with.’ Connie, she’s always been right so far. One of these days she’s pretty likely to be wrong, anil Connie doesn’t yield very easily.” “But Connie’s so sober and straight, and—” “That’s the kind.” “She’s so conscientious." “Yes, conscientious.” “She’s—look here, Grace, there’s nothing the matter with Connie.” “Of course not, William. That isn’t what I mean. But you ought to be getting very, very dose to Connie right now, for one of thefir days she’s going to need a lot of that extra companion ship Prudence told you about Con nie wants to know everythin?. She wants to see everything. None of the other girls ever yearned for city life. Connie does. She says when she Ib through school she’s going to the city." “What city?” “Any* city.” “What for?” “For experience.” Mt. Starr looked about him help lessly. “There’s experience right here,” he protested feebly. “Lots of i t Entirely too much of’it” “Well, that’t Connie. She wants to Know, to see, to feel. She wants to live. Get dose to her, get chummy. She may not need It, and then again, she may. She’s very young yet” "AU right I wffl. It Is well I have some one to steer me along the proper road.” He looked regretfully out of the window. “I ought to be able to see these things for myself, but the girls seem perfectiy all right-to me. They always have*. I suppose It’s be* cause they’re mine.” Aunt Grace looked at him affection ately. “It’s because they’re the finest girls on earth,” She declared. “That’s why. But we want to be ready to help Uiem if they need It just because they- are so fine. They will every one be splendid, if we give them the right kind of a chance.” He^sat silent a moment ‘Tve a t ways wanted one .of them to marry a preacher,” he said, laughing apologeti cally. “It is very narrow-minded, ot course, but a man does make a hobby of his own profession. I always hoped Prudence would. I thought she was bom for i t Then I looked to Fairy, and she turned me down.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture,) No one is in a better position to re spond to the present campaign for the increased production of poultry dn the farm than the turkey raiser. The tur key is a farm bird, first- and last, and is especially suited to the grain and stock farms where there is ample rang ing ground abounding In such turkey food as grasshoppers and other in sects. weed seeds, waste grain, such Good Nests for Turkeys. as is left ia tlie fields after harvest, and nuts of such varieties as beech nuts, chestnuts, pecans, pine nuts and acorns. On such a farm, the present prices Cf grain affect tils turkey rais er but little, for with the exception of what is used at fattening time, the feed consumed is largely of such a kind as would otherwise be wasted. EACH BREED HAS ITS PLACE AU Have Been Made and Developed on General Principle of Practical Quality and Value. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) To the novice in poultry keeping it often appears that there is no re’al necessity for so many breeds and va rieties as have been standardized in America. Further acquaintance. with them, however, shows ,that although color differences are in most cases made merely to please, the eyes of persons having different preferences for color, the differences in shnpe and size which make breed character have been developed with a view to adapting each to particular uses or particular conditions. Leaving out of consideration the breeds kept as novelties, most of which originated before industrial 'progress created a, large demand for poultry products, all the standard American breeds of fowls have been made and developed on the general- principle of practical quality, the foundation of breed, character and value. In harmony with this principle the common classification of breeds ac cording to their place in the general scheme of poultry production divides them into three principal classes, name ly, laying breeds, meat'breeds that are not as ready and persistent egg pro ducers as tlie laying breeds, and not as meaty and as easy to fatten as the meat breeds, yet- combine in one indi vidual fowl very good laying capacity with very good table quality. The Leghorn, Minorca, Andalusian, Ancona and Camplne are well-known breeds of the laying class; the Brah ma, Dorking, and Cornish of the meat class ; the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red and Orpington of the general purpose class.

An ingenious method of gathering fruit which reduces the fruit picker’s work to a minimum, makes use of a large net suspended above the ground directly under a- tree and does away with the usual fruit-picking harness, buckets, pails and baskets, says the Popular Science Monthly. The fruit is dropped from the tree by the picker and it falls into the net and rolls down through a coneshaped canvas spout into a barrel or fruit box. The net is held taut by a framework sup ported by iron posts driven in the ground. LIFTS THE BURDEN OF PAiN FROM THOUSANDS Piles is a disease to which both sexes and all ages are subject.

Easier to Keep Hens Healthy and to Reproduce Stock Under Colony House System. (Prepared by the United Stages Department of Agriculture.) A contented hen is a profitable pos session, and contentment with the hen is commensurate with the comfort of her home. Hence henhouse building should receive more than passing no tice from one who would profitably produce poultry. Hens do.not do well in apartments; even semidetached houses are not de sirable ; ■ separated (colony) houses, each with its-.own yard, give best all- around satisfaction. It is easier to keep the birds healthy and to reproduce the stock under the colony system if the birds are allowed free range. Breeding stock, and espe cially growing chickens, should ,have an abundant range, while hens used solely for the production of market eggs may be kept on a very small area.

Any owner of one of these trucks can make it pay for itself by the additional work it will do for him in one season over the slow methods used in the past. Many farmers hesitate tp buy a truck because they are not experienced in the use of a motor vehicle, but we can demonstrate to any one who will come to see us, that it does not take an expert to handle an Internat iona!, and that good roads are not essential to their use. The average farm has all the requirements an Inter national needs and after a month’s use, you would not he without one for twice the price. We are making deliveries every day. Follow the example of such companies as The Southern Be!! Telephone €o., The Standard Oil Company, ;and Swift & Company, which have adopted the International exclusively for all their uses.

It is imperative if the present war continues that greater efforts be put forth for the production of sheep; which have a three fold value in pro ducing mutton for meat! wool for' clothing, and manure for fertilizing purposes There has been much valuable work done in this state to ward the building up of greater sheep industry, and in connection with this, plans are being made to get a state-wide law for the control 0f the dog and not for his extermi nation. On March Sth a meeting was held in Raleigh N. C., for.the purpose of discussing the above matters, and no doubt much good will result from it. A committee is soon to lie ap pointed to draft a dog control law, and when this is done I hope to be able to furnish to the farmers of the county a copy that it may be used to the very best advantage. I shall call a meeting of the sheep breeders of the county to be held on the 4th day of May for the purpose of or ganizing a sheep breeders associ ation, and all farmers are cordially invited to be present to help in this one of the most profitable work that our farmers can engage in at this time, I want to ask that all sheep raisers send me their names that I may get in touch with them and ‘ help them in any way ;that I can Let us cooperate in a campaign for more and better sheep in the county and state, and also to the world’s need for more wool and meat. Which is our patriotic duty' at this time. I shall begin next week to place some nice thorough bred pigs with the boys that have joined the pig club, and I want to say to any boy that wants to join .the. pig dub, that he send me his name, his age and postoffice and L will get his pig for him, several have joined the corn club and if there"are any' fh ^ t naVie not yet sent their names I will be glad to have them at once as the time is now at hand, when they should be at work on their acre W.

It is a good scheme. erlook is the weight of the French Army that haB been pressing down on Germany. It should be a mat ter of common knowledge that the Allied line which, has been con. fronting the Hmdenburg • line is 450 miles long. Belgian soldiery, brave as any that God ever made, composes a small fraction of this line. British soldiers—and there are noDe better—make iip 150 miles. The French line has been 350 miles long. Since the begin ning of the present German offen sive the French have iound it nec- ry to progressively extend their line along the southern bor der of the line of falling back a distance of 55 miies. So that the French Armyat this moment is presenting a battle front of 405 miles, and the soldiers forming this wall oi I he most magnificent fighterb in the world, are flushed with the reddest of blood and chargediwith vigor and determiua. tion, and back of them.France has thousands of the same caliber npon whom there has been no touch of the whitening process. Students of the progress of the war also know that this 405 miles of France’s fighting men have lost nothing to the Germans, but have maintained their front intact, have headed off Germany at every point on which a thrust has been made. France has been the victim of ■ too mnch mjpplaced sentimentality in this country.

Americans who are mighty poony informed about the French Army and Nation and the part they are playing in the war. That old ex pression about France being “ bled white,” has been worn threadbare Now comes Archbishop ' Cosmo Gordon Lang, emotional wailing that France has been !“ worn to tl hone.” Such talk as-this - is eilly and indicates a woful lack of knowledge on part of people mak ing it. France has neither been bled white nor.' worn to the bine. France, like ^America, is just entering the fight.: France h is dune wonders on the battle Ii ie, wonders which can be • fully appreciated only by those who hive kept close track ot the pro ‘ gress of events since the first im petuous advance of the .^ermaus in the direction of Paris.' France stopped the Germans a||d held them at bay for months wftle Eng land waB getting her armY togeth er, and doing 60 became the re. sponsible factor for: the ultimate defeat of' Germany. • The French have not figured so much in the press dispatches; they have , been modest in-their claims and- have been content to let their work speak for itself in established his tory..

In answer to the attack made, on him in the Senate by Senator Stone,- be said the speech was an insidious effort in behalf of Ger many, and that the Missouri Sen ator, who had done all he could to serve Germany in opposing, war legislation, bad been the first tofu ject partisan poiities into the war Colonel Roosevelt came out in open support ot Senator Cnamher Iain’s proposals for a war cabinet and a munitions department “ The proposal,” he said, ‘!uieaus that at least a proper scheme af ad ministration will be adopted by the government. I am well aware that no scheme can accomplish anything unless the right men are put in; "but at least; we will get proper scheme of administration In Washington you have a good many star players, but mighty little team work.” Declaring the present is no time far politics, Colonel Roosevelt said •‘No public servant and no pri Republican State Convention.

A. Whitner of Hickory, and Thomas Settle of Asheville were considered. Mr. Morehead was wanted in re serve to run against Webb in the 9 th Congressional district. It was gen erally believed that he was put be-' fore the convention finally because he was the only man with ■ whose name the leaders knew they could keep control. Mr. Morehead in accepting the nomination of the con vention which is subject to primary action of course, stated the proce dure was contrary to bis inclinations. - The convention was harmonious throughout. The platform adopted accepted the woman suffrage plank and the convention made a graceful ; ob of this proposition. A group of suffragists in the hall were dscorted to the stage and Mrs. Jno. S. Cun ningham of Durham, president of the N. C. Equal Suffrage League, made an address. Strong resolutions of loyalty and support of the. Government were adopted, and the spirit of the con vention was patriotic. Judge W. P. Bynum formerly of the Superior Court, accepted the nomination of chief justice of the Supreme Court, and H. F. Seawell of Carthage, and H. R. Starbuck of Winston-Salem, were nominated to run for Associate Judgeship.' The Republicans felt that they achieved a triumph in getting Judge Bynum committed to the race. He was also chairman of the committee on resolutions and platform. J. J.

A good many papers are howling, “buy your coal now.” How do they expect us to buy coal now when the car shortage is the. worst it has been sinJe the Government took charge of the railroads. “W. S.

The devil is going to have it picnic some of these days, when such skinflints shake off this vale ot tears. ■ “W. S. S.” The scarcity of gasolene is becom ing more pronounced daily. It seems to us that the joy-riding sea son is about over until after the war Automobiles are useful, and should be used for transportation purposes, but pleasure riding should be re duced. “W.S.

If he has not, turn around and-walk right out again The man who will not help his gov ernment at this critical time does not deserve :the patronage of an American citizen. There is no busf ness man so poor but that he could purchase a few thrift stamps. “W. S.

Editor John son is right.: Mr. Wilson has al ready discovered his mistake. The Vice-Bresideiit also made a blunder when he left his job at Washington and went to Wisconsin and made a bitter partisan speech. ;“W .S.S.» We are frequently asked by citi zens;of the county if we think the AUies are going to whip Germany.

It exhibited for one night only, or ten times fewer times than the aurora of 1861, so we Bhall have a four months war iu France for our boys, and then it will be all over. The second aurora Mr. Hall remembers was in the year 1870, which was the year of the Franco-Prussian war when the Huns took Alsace-Lorraine away from Frauce, and besides made the Frencb pay them one billion indemnity before they would take their armies out of Paris. That year Mr. Hall was at a tobacco barn with Mr. Frank Baker, long dead, of sainted memoiy, when they saw therauronv coming on. Mr. Hall says he never saw peaches bloom out' on a, new- moon that it didn’t mean a good fruit year, and thi* year we shall conse quently have pilenty of fruit. If I Were a Farmer.

C. ;' CLAUD MILLER, Davie Represeniative- How One Community Will Meet FarmLabor Shortage. The town of Moran in Kansas is trying to solve the farm labor prob lem. Knowing that the farmers in the snrrouuding territory would be short of labor, the businessmen of the community made up a list of ail the able-bodied men employ ed otherwise than in agriculture and then commenced the training of women to. enable them to run the business interests of the town, so that the men would be prepared to help witb the crops when har vest time comes. Moran is thus planning to fore stall what would otherwise be an acute.labor situation this summer and fall, and the women of the community will handle the town’s business while the men are but helping the farmers. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram1 which tells the story of this plan, very properly suggests that there are many other towns and eomrnti- nities where prepareduess of this kind might bi utilized to advan tage.—Manufacturer’s Record. $100 REWARD. $100.

Boad building" authorities all over the State have recovered from the shock of the past winter and in any direction one may travel he will see roads that shine with a brighter polish and that appear to be In better condition than has been known, in the State, for there has been a wonderful accomplish ment in road repair endeavors, since the return of fine weather. Wherever one strikes a county whose commissioners take pride in the construction and repair of roads, the public highways will be l'oand in excellent shape. Cum berland is one of the counties iu which the road'fever prevails at in the courthouse. Becently The Observer had opportunity to in speet about 50 miles of Cumber- Iaud roads iu different directions out ol' Fayetteville and found them as smooth as asphalt and almost as hard. At intervals road-re- pair forces were seen mending holes by the placing of a wet mix ture of sand and clay in the de pressions and packing it down. The materials with which the roads are repaired are of the same standard quality as that of which the road was constructed. The finish is a bard gravel, so that the sand clay roads of Cumberland represent the very. best of that type that can be.' constructed Bnt the real secret of-Cnmberlandls excellent highways is in the vigi- lance of the maintenance, syetem. Any evidence of deterioration is at once attended to. In short, care is taken to see that the roads are kept in the same shape as on com a^)f‘ r»7 u u ^5 h rX ilt—’lIUIc1. ’ XH ’ ij IlUl^ we believe Cumberland' BtandB at the head of all good road counties in the State.—Charlotte Observer.

Among the duties of Secretary McAdoo. not specifically provided by legislation, is that of changing the crow of the Democratic.rooster, by 1920 to McAdoo-dle-doo.

But Bussia, has prostra ted herself In the dust before her ruthless toe. Germany, more than all other nations,, despises her. She Tb loathsome in her own eyes.

It is a dread ful calamity to be trainpled in the dust as bleeding Belgium has been; to suffer the loss of the flower of her youth and tbe destruction of her priceless treasures, but these things are nothing in comparison with the loss of the national soul. The future holds no hope for Rus sia.

We had been told that BuBSia would never submit to Ger man domination and control; that she is essentially democratic and no grbnnd to stand upon, for BusT sig is dead, and dead men tell no Ies and effect no reforms.

We learned yesterday that two prominent citizens of Benly who were planning to buy new aotomo biles soon have decided to defer the purchase and. put the money which would be paid for the cars into War Savings Stamps. This is one of the must encouraging things we have beard since the War Savings campaign began. When the beople come to realize that it is going to mean sacrifice of pleasure, conveniences and ease, and money as well, to end the great war in Europe they are going to forget self to help to fight the battles we are called on to fight. Every one has a part. No man or woman or. child of school age. can really be excused. There is work for all.-^-Smithfield Herald. . Why He Was Proud. “ My boy,” said the elderly mill ionaire at the end of a lecture on economy, “ when I wasyour age carried water for a gang of section hands.” '•‘I’m proud of you dad, ” ans wered the gilded youth. “ If It hadn’t been for your pluck and perseverence I might have had to do something of the sort myself.” Interestiug Figures. If one is interested in figures, let him sit down for a half honr and “figger” about the huge sum of money TTncle Sam is to raise iD one years time—19 billion dollars- This great war has broken - ail re cords of the past in the immensity of everything concerned in war fare, especially in tbe amount of money. It is very hard to visualize large numbers, and if one is to give any idea' of tne immensity of them they - muBt be expressed in more familiar units. First let us see how long it would take to count 19 billion. Counting. at the rate of one hundred a min ute, tan hours a day and seveii days in .a week, it would take pear ly 868 years. In other words, -if a man had started counting in tbe year 1050, or 442 years before America was discovered, he’d just cow be' Btretching himself and thinking of taking a vacation. Or suppose we think of this amount of money in silver 'dollars spread flat on the ground as close as they wili lie. They would cover a Strip ot country brie mile wide-by nearly ten miles long; of a strip twenty- BeVen inches wide entirely encir cling the earth, or if we place them on top of each other as the banker piles them they would make a pile 28,111 miles high or if thu9 laid on the ground would reach round the world with enough to spare to span the.TTnited States a Becond time; or if piled up over a square acre, would make a solid monu ment more than a mile arid a quar ter high; or if placed iu box cars, ffO O pSuBS^w ouId^tK e^^S^^SeJ and these coupled together would make-a train 225 miles long, or nearly half way from Hickory to Cincinnati. This immense sum of money rep resents 175 dollars for.eve.ry man, woman and child in the TTnited States. Hadn’t we better con tinue lending'our quarters to Un cle Sam, lest we be compelled later on to give -many times this sum to the kaiser and his crowd?—Hick, ory Daily Record. Parson Volunteers for Firing Squad. Lumberton Tribune. . A High Fointrpreacher is quoted as folio WB in an address he deliv ered last Sunday: “Every pro- German in America ought to . be stood before a wail and Bhot If yon do not believe I have the grace to shoot him, just.give me a gun If there is a German sympathizer in this audience this afternoon want to tell, you that vou are low-down, stinking skunk and not worthy to-sleep with hound dogs.’ That is rather rough language tor a preacher to use, but yon begin to-talk about German practices in this war it is a difficult matter to find language - rough enough. If every German spy arrested in this country had been shot and every German sympathizer arrested and confined- for the period of the war. it would have had a mitrhty good effect. •3d A True Verdict. .

In,Shelby township there lives a clever and thoughtless tenant, who owns and pays taxvs ou five dogs, no land and no piig does he possess. For many years has he farmed in Cleveland,county,: but has never been able to buy land, even throu the aid of the building and loan associations that lend money Lon lands. Why-he has such a strong affection for his dogs, five, I know not. Whether it is an index of his character and thriitlessness, I know not; but it is elear that own ership of less dogs and more -pigs would be mpre conducive to; his food and prosperity. , “W; S.

We were extremely interested in reading the protest of the Mount Airy preachers against the pro posed Easter dance in that city. “There is a time to moaru” says the Bible, “and a time to dance.” Well this is not-a time to dance. Why is it that some people are so crazy to celebrate everything with a dance Dancing for the Bed Cross, was proposed in Reidsviile. and one brave preacher Bev. E. N. Johnson; rose up and smashed it Now comes the Mount Airy dan cers and they propose to celebia e the resnrrestion of out- Lord, in this time of blood and death with a dance! We are glad to see -that practically all the preache s of Mount Airy had the courage to de nuance this, untimely proposition and we hope they crushed the lif<- ont of it. Dancing with some folia seems to be an obsession anyhow. This writer lias never taken the extreme position against danciog that some of I his brethren take. It is not the proper thing to turn a silly maidep out of the church for dancing when she doesn’t know any better. Dancing is not the vile and repulsive thing that some good people make it—it is simply the acme of jail silliness. It re quires not a grain of sense to be a good dancer.. In fact we are told that the most graceful dancers are the girls of the street. And yet 1 there are goejd people who spend money giving tbsir girls dancing lessons wheq they onght to. be teaching them how to spell. Bo much for the dance in general; but for Bed Cross dances and Eas ter dances and any other dance that- links itself up with a sacred thing, or evpn a sensii ie thing, we have the utmost borror. Glory to the preachejrs ol Mount Airy! They have fought a good fight.— Charity and Children. Drives O iit Malaria, Builds UpSystem The Old Standard'general strengthening tonic.

Let’s seek the rural regions, in pastures let us stray, where costly calves;.in legions, and high priced lambkinaplay. Now spring with flowers; is wreathing the landscape everywhere, and there’s no charge for breathing the wholesome coun try air. The country is enchant ing upon a Bmiliug morn, wh$g huHbandmenj are planting two- bones a-bushel corn; my thoughts I cannot titter, as I go drilling round, where wives are making butter that brings six bits a pound. The nights Ere growing shorter, fiie bright days longer grow, and hens once worth a quarter, now bring a j bucjk a throw. Where crystal streams are flowing, I see the cattle browse; the laughing maids are going, to milk the span gled cows. ' t say, “Oh, girls, I’m hollow, I’ll ibaye some milk, I think.” Thby say, “ AU you can swallow, at twenty cents a drink.” 'Where sunbeams lightly quiver upon the wooded flat,. I drink the brawling river—there is no charge for that. The sighing zephryrs bring me thpsoug of babbling rill; the bees come up aDd sting me, and don’t present a bill. Let’s seek the rnrai mazes, the lane and lone some pike; some things are - cheap as blazes—the climate, and the like. .. - A Little Political News. We want to mention a little par tisan political news, just for fun, you know. In the last general election, the people of Bnrke coun ty elected three county commis sioners. They are; Messrs John L. Houek, J. L. Duckwoi th, Demo crats, and Samuel Huffman,' Re publican. The following legislature, ■ for some reason not known, . and un asked for by. the people, provided for two additional commissioners iiiri even appointed them. They were Messrs Mas Hennessee and VV E VValtou, both Democrats. And the act also provided that one of them he chairman: of the board and also auditor and be paid by the county, $500 a year for bis services. - At their meeting Iasi; Monday, in order to emphasize Governor Bickett’s policy— to be patriotic and non partisan in political af fairs, this board composed of four Democrats and one Republican, appointed the tax listers for the county. 13 in all, all good citizens. Mr. Sam Huffman, the only/'Re publican on the board, asked for' a division, or to be allowed to name one or two of the tax listers of 13. But this patriotic and non partisan board refused to give the Repub licans a single one. 1 And it is a known fact that one of the gentleman who is commis sionei by the grace of a patriotic and noD-partisan legislative enact ment, had tendered his resignation as member and chairman of- the board. But the-power of appoint ing bis successor lay io the hand., of the clerk of Supreme court, who is a Republican. And afterbeing told by the clerk, that he felt it his duty to appoint a man from his own party, a Republican, the chairmaG decided not to resign un til fall. It is our opinion that this same rule will apply wherever our D em ocrarfriends „r« . io oontrol.- in spite of the pleadings of the Governor, which Democrats will construe to apply to Republicans only. How’s that Governor?— Burke County Times. Whooping Cough. Give Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy to keep the cough loose and expectoration easy. It is excellent. The. Public Pays. Some time ago when Postmaster General Burleson asked' all post masters to send him in a personal and confidential envelope a list pf Iarmers to whom liberty loan liter ature might'be sent, it was- inti mated by Republicans that this list might prove very useful during the Democratic campaign. This suggestion was booted at as . far fetched, but Dow there is -in the possession ot Republican leaders conclusive evidence that one of the tiew government bureaus, main tained by all the people tor sup posedly non-political purposes, has used its machinery to address the franked envelopes of a Democratic Senator such envelopes containing portions of a speech made by him. Die question is whether these gov ernment mailing lists, and the ad dressing machinery are to. be as free to Republicans as .to Demo crats.

' I For weak or disordered kidneys. * >- Here is reliable evidence of their worth. Mrs. Engene Fesperman, 328 W. 11 St., Statesville N. C.. says: “I had sharp pains across my kidneys and rheumatic twinges in my limbsand shoulders. One of the family advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and I got a supply. , After taking them a short time, I was relieved of the pain in my back and. the rheumatic twinges disappeared. Whenever I have any sign of kidney trouble now, I use Doan’s Kidney Pills and they do me gopd. Price 60c. at all dealers.

One of the farm labor experts at Washington knows how to keep young men on the farms. He says all our college girls are to be conscripted for ftirm service next summer. ' ; If I Were a Farmer. If I were a farmer I would keep at hand a few reliable medicines for minor: ail ments that'are not so serious as to re quire the attention of a physician, such as ChBmberlain’s Colic andDiarrhoe Rem edy for bowel complaints. ■ Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for coughs, colds and croup.
