Pence WITH victory. Peace that, proves Americans are XtiC too proud to light .when the inieiests and rights and ideals of the republic are at stake. Tiie stone which the builders re jectc-d has become the chief corner ntoiiP of the femple. The boys over there and the peo ple over here have proved to the . world that the spirit of '76 and ’61 nail ’vis is not dead,. but that it lives in a determination for nncon. diuiiniil surrender of an enemy whose brutal might was a menace to the world. They were for peace ONLY with victory,—and in this government of the people they liave had their way! If this war had ended with this nation neutral, a triumphant mili- tan.'iu would have made the American people-understand that the causes and consequences of this war DID touch ns. Unprepared despite the clamor of “anxious souls'7 we would have paid in blood and treasure the price ol disastrous and disgraceful deleat at the hands ot a swollen power, with the wealtn and resources ol all the rest of the world at its dis posal. And if Americans HAD been too proud to light, the name of the land of Washington and Lin coin would have gone down to per petual disgrace. Today it gicws with a new luster, and no one lon ger doubt,s the power of the great republic to hold its own with - any foe on any field of-conflict'. To the men in the nniforin of the republic, marshalled beneath its dig, the people ol America owe an undying debt- . of gratitude. Their's is the chief glory of the hour. In their hands largely Tests the future Ot the republic in whose behalf they have offered the patri ot’s full measure ol devotion. But to every American ot-all the millions, whose heart has loyally followed the flag in this heroic epoch in the naiion’s life; to every citizen however high or humble, comes a share of the credit and a I lint of the glory that is the iepub- lie’s. Yow, as uever before in hi - - tory, the world’s highest title ot nobilicj lies in the words: ' “I am an American citizen ” The victory has cost the nation little in blood. The cost in treas ure the struggle has entailed is as nothing compared to what it has Il bought; the respect and admiration ol the world; the revival of the old American spirit of devotion to the dig aud the institutions for which Il it .-tands; the raisiDg of a new and higher ideal of service and cooper If ation aud eomradeship in Amer ican citizenship which will impress I itself deeply upon the fnture of the I iiiiiioii; the knowledge that ours is .•above all a iepublic of ideals deep- j Iy believed in and bravely main tained.—National Republican.

Ii r- ing, look at a few of the food prices during the Civil and Spanish American wars, comparing the prices before the war, during the war and after the war. Looking through back files of The Sun of ’65, the complaint of high prices was as prevalent as now. This of course does not justify profiteering, It is merely' consoling to the con sumer the jump in prices in 189S timing the Spanish American-war, is not so noticeable as from the be ginning ol the Civil war up to a bout 1871, due to the fact that the longer periods of fighting have a tendency to boost prices, and alto to the fact that the United States, as a whole, was not so vitally con cerned in the Spanish war. H»re is sometbfng else consoling in the advance of prices during war times. In both those of ’60’s and of ’98 when prices rose alarm ingly, the war was almost at an end. Interesting, even though it may not be the case in the present world war. Prior to the Civil war, prices of food were ridiculously low, not on ly from the standpoint of the pies ent workman with fatted payrolls but also of the low paid workman of those days. His pay was not forty, fifty, sixty or seventy cents an hour. In fact, his pay for one day was just a little more than .is now given for one hour. Food ihen was out ot proportion to wages, or perhaps it would be- bet tar to put aside present standards, and then we would say conditions were normal when the workmap could mauage to make! ends iiiees without a great deal of difficulty. It must have been quite a com mon sight to go into a laborer’s home at tnat time and find porter house or sirloiu steaks, veal cut iets or lamb chops served, at least it you can judge by prices. Can you stretch' your imagination enough to grasp some of these heavenly ante Civil war prices: Porterhouse steak, 12 cents a pound; sirloin, 9 ctsa pound; lamb roast. 9 cents a ponud; hum, 6 cis a pound; cbiekeu, (young) S cents a pound; lard. 10 cents; butter, 19 cents; flour, CO cents per sack (24 pounds); potatoes, 10 cents a peck. Doesn’t it-sound like a dreamt • But our lot seems easier to bear, for as the war went on we get into familiar surroundings again. War prices jumped until it seemed, no limit ever would be reached. The Civil War came to an end. but not so food priees. They sfill wdnt up. Those delicious steaks shot up to almost twice as mnch. 22 cents. And everything else went the same way. Pork, smash ing all records, doubled its price Keeping thoGe same wages of the working man in 1S58 in mind, these double prices should be twice as consoling to-present high cost ot living grumblers, for it must be ie- membered that wages did hot then increase in proportion to prices. In this the 1918 wageiearners have it all over, those of the sixties. But the Civil war wago earoera all. g o t along somehow. Afew kick ed, tor there are always some kick ers, but as a whole, everyone was submissive-, because, whether Nur them or Southern, each one knew that war conditions' are not normal, and each was willing to bear auy tiing for the sake of his can>e. There was no decline, but rath er a steady increase, uutil about ioan war, but a slight rise in prices waB inevitable. Porterhouse steak jnroped irom 14 cenrs in 3.S86 to lficeutsin 3898, and continued, even though the war ended that year,Aintil 1901. All other meats weut up the.same way, and flour from 70 cents to 40 cents a sack (-24 pounds), butter from 20 to 25 cents, potatoes from 15 to 20 cents a peck, sugar 5. to 7 cents a pound, and so with all foodstuffs. Just-as during the Civil war, high prices did not cease when the war ended, so, after the Spanish ■ war. they continued to rise uutil 1901, when they dropped to a little above prices prevalent during peace times. Now-, to come closer home, by taking a glance over prices of 1910, find that- foods were purchased for almost nothing compared with the present. It waN not an unusnal thing to get a rib roast for 12 to IS cents a pound, or a tender porter house steak tor 22 to 35 cents. Lamb^hops were only 15 to 25 cents a pound, and veal cutlets 25 to 30 cents. Fggs, freshly laid, were 30 cents a dozen; butter was 30 cents;' milk' S cents a quart; Hour was 90 cents a sack (24 lbs) and sugar was only five cents a pound, and you could buy as rnuci- as you wanted. No use to make the heart auy sudder by quoting prices, for everyoue knows them only too well, but we are consoled in the fact that experience has proved two things of vital impor tance. When prices are reaching the double mark peace is near and after peace is declared prices fall td almost the old prices before the war, although they do not tall im mediately. Should Observe.

DR. CHEEK THREW AWAY OVER $3000 Troubles Disappeared When Ke Took Taulac—He Has Gain ed Twenty-five Pounds In Weight He Says. From Dr. M. C. Cheek, a well- known optician who resides on R, D. I, out of Hawkinsville, Georgia, comes the following remarkable statement regarding the extraordi nary powers of Tanlac. Dr. Cheek, who has practiced his profession in Hawkinsville and vicinity for years, declares, he spent three thousand dollars, trying to get relief, and it was just like money thrown away, as he didn’t improve. Writing to Eii W. Goods, the pro gressive Hawkinsville druggist, Dr Cneek said: “I spent over three thousand dol lars trying to get rid of stomach trouble. I had the best treatments I could find in this stare and Was ev en treated by a specialist in Chicago, without relief. *1 lost weight and went down hill-until I only weighed one hundred and seven pounds. “I oegan taking Tanlac on the first of January and took four bot tles. I- gained twenty-five pounds and ndw weigh one -hundred and thirty-two and my troubles have gone.” Statements of this kind coming from well known people and publish ed right in the community - where each and'eyery fact can be investi gated and.-Vferified, leave nothing to be desired in establishing the merit of the widely .‘'talked of medicine, Tanlac, ” Tanlac is now sold exclusively in Mocksville bv Crawford’s.

Now that the Thanksgiving season is with us, I trust that the many readers of this paper will stop long enough to think of the numer ous good things we have to be thankful for. Surely a year has never been more prosperous to most of our people, but what I feel that we have to rejoice over more is that the horrors' of this world’s strife have ceased. , I’ll never forget the feeling that came over me at 2 o’clock in the morning of Nov. 11. when I was awakened bv the shouts of newsboys and general commotion on streeis caused by th’e glad peace tidings re ceived There was no laboringdone in Washington that day but re joicing. It seemed that every man. woman and child left their living apartments and rushed to Pennsyl vania Avenue on which are the prin cipal government buildings I plain ly saw President Wilson as he step ped from the White IIouseand walk ed down to view parade. Even if figi ting on the battlefields has ceased, let us not forget that reconstruction must be'done. We should feel it a great privilege that we can give of our means to help tnose in distress and to assist in re building the devastated countries of bleeding Europe Although I have three brothers in service and felt it a sweet sacrifice with aching heart to see them most nobly answer the call of their conntry. I did not rea lize just how terrible the distress a id suffering of many people was e^en in America until I connected mysdif with government work in ai lotment and allowance department. Justonewordabout my work— since I’ve been living the life of a teacher in many different kinds of schools, I had come to the conclusion that teaching is a nerve- wrecking business, but in my mind it is not compared with this. Never have I longed for the return of the Sabbath so much. Yet I am glad to do this and feel that the experience means much to me and my tasks are light ened when I think possibly I am as sisting some heart broken, mother or weary lad to receive what they justly deserve. We are all looking forward to the time ''Wlien t he Roys couie Home ” Even more are Uiey, but yet some of them will turn their backs away from little wounds of earth that claim their comrades. The moth ers, fathers, sweethearts, relatives and friends of such noble Americans will have the sweet consolation that they did the whole of their bit.

The paper adds that the argument that he cannot he punished because there are others who also are guilty cannot be admitted. •'By that argument,” The Times continues. “a. felon caught in the act 'iould escape punishment because there are other felons who have not vei been brought to judgment, and neither law nor common sense would liiten to such a plea. "Besides, it is proposed to punish the kaiesr alone. There are others, too. who will be placed on trial, but lie is the chief because most highly criminal. “The one argument against doing nhiit we can to bring this arch crim inal to justice is that at present he is a mean and contemptible figure, hid ing his head from the ruin he brought on his country, and that if we prose- i ute him we. may somewhat impart dignity to him. “On the other hand, how can re spect for international law in the fu ture be based on the immunity of the principal offender against its provi sions in the.past?” Intim ation Given T hat the Man, or Men Who Cauesd the W ar Must M eet Merited Punishm ent.

London.—The American editors on tour of England were notified, after a round of rather severe social enter tainments and of dutiful attendance upon various political ..functions, that King George and Queen Mary would be graciously pleased to receive them at Sandringham on Sunday, October 13. It was Intimated that It was n most unusual concession, for . his majesty and his court preferred to ob serve the traditions and keep them selves to themselves, apart from the formalities of their positions, at their country seat—on the Sabbath day, at least.Sandringham is the summer home of joyalty, about one hundred uiiifes from London on the eastern- coast near the <?ea. It had been acquired and devel oped by King <Ed\vard, and was his private estate; the location of his fine racing stables and splendid .gardens, and it is now the permanent residence of his widow. Queen Alexandra. The first group of American magazine,and periodical editors and writers, through a coincidence now in London, were also included In the royal command, and together all were to go, furnish ing for his majesty his first personal view of composite American. journal ism. The proposed audience, it was hinted by those who arranged it, was substantial and convincing evidence of the high interest of the king in the forthcoming entente between the two great English-speaking nations. One hears much on that fruitful subject just now in England. Editors W orry About Clothes. The first result of the royal invita tion was to throw the gratified editors into a flutter of discussion about the kind of dress needed for a court pres entation. The ministry of informa tion, which has the journalists in charge, gravely informed them, how ever, that it was to be no formal oc casion but a social and unofficial visit at the week-end to Sandringham, and that nobody need to lie awake o’niglits worrying about whether to wear a high hat and morning dress, or the usual work-a-day suit of the average American. But the decision . of the ministry did not entirely settle this important matter; nor did the minis try itself adhere to its ruling for in formality. Some officious personage came hurriedly from headquarters and announced that it would be strictly de rigeur to wear a top hat and a cutaway, and other sucli apparel. ,After due arrangements had been made to accord with this latest de cision as to the correct thing in court fashions, some one higher in authority at the last moment gave out final word that everybody might dress as he pleased, but that the king would un doubtedly prefer to see his guests in the costumes they ordinarily wear at home. The controversy being happily concluded the editors started off for Sandringham in the garb which each of them thought best suited to his style of beauty. For the ■ most part silk hats went by the board. The time of the visit was most aus picious. Great news had just come out Ut Germany to the effect that she had decided to capitulate, after four years and more of war, and it was to be supposed that the atmosphere about Sandringham would be most con genial for felicitations. There are no Sunday papers worth the name in Great Britain, but the king, of course, had his own private information about the happy turn of events. A royal messenger 'was indeed in the train which bore the 23 Americans to Sand ringham.' His office was to tell King George what he already knew. King Upsets Program. The journey to Sandringham was taken in a special train, under a semi- cloudy sky, through a lovely land scape. There was a glimpse of the famous college town of Cambridge, ■ and of the historic cathedral at Ely. The party arrived at the Sandringham station reserved for the guests of roy alty about two o’clock and found waiting there three spick and span carryalls. There had meanwhife Been received from the major domo of the | ministry specific instructions as to how 1 the party was to be received. They were to be divided into three groups, and each of them was to enter the au gust presence separately and. was to . remain not more than ten minutes. I t! was expected that his majesty would < have had quite enough in that brief: period. But it proved that this thought i of the courtiers who seek to decide ! just who shall be privileged to bask I in the sipiles of royalty, mid how long. | was erroneous. For the king upset; the entire, program and had a "bully” ! day with his ‘visitors, as Mr. Roosp- \ velt might call it; so did his familv. I AU ceremonies were quickly waived! and forgotten, and everybody had a i grand time. | Sandringham is a noble estate with line drives, spacious lawns, prodigal greenery and occasional lakes and: ponds. Queen Alexandra, the mother | of the king, occupied the “castle ” : which, is no castle at all, but a fine country house. The king dwells, dur ing ids stay there, in a comparatively modest place . called York cottage. summer—the pleasant hunting season —and here all the children of George and Mary were born. Made to Feel a t Home/ A drive of about a mile through winding ways and over an attractive landscape brought the party t\Sand ringham. A functionary in a bright red coat, decorated with many medals, indicating worthy service in the Life guards, ushered them into the waiting- room. There were other officials who had no special insignia of rank or sta tion, and who, with well-bred ease, put themselves so much at the disposal of the guests that they soon felt quite at home. King George was attended by Queen Mary, the Dotvager Queen Alexandra, Princess Mary (his daughter), Prin cess Victoria (his sister) and several ladies-in-waiting. A very old man, Sir Richard Probyn, a hero of Indian war fare and possessor of the Victoria cross, was the personal attendant and courtier of Queen Alexandra. The king was garbed in an ordinary busi ness suit, and all the court ladieswere dressed much as one sees every day the women of America in any Amer ican city, in admirably fitting tailored suits. There was no ostentation or stiffness, and but little ceremony. The party had been. individually warned not to offer to shake hands with the king or queen unless Hiey first made the approach, which Hiey did in every Instance. “Address him always as ‘your majesty’ and the queen in the same way, and tire princess ‘your highness,’ ” it was said." Some of the editors perhaps forgot the rules, nut no one attempted any familiarity, and certainly none was invited; but every one of the royal personages, af ter the introductions, descended Into easy conversation with someone or oth er of the Americans. Gets Laugh Out of King. Tlie pictures of King George do not do him justice. He is animated In ac tion, ready and distinct in speech, with an inclination toward the humorous, and affable in manner, without conde scension. He is not afflicted with the English habit of swallowing his words, and he is at q loss at no time for some thing to say. He expressed to all the editors, without constraint, his pleas- ure at their visit and showed an under standing of American affairs and of tjie purpose of their coming to England which was quite surprising. It is not permissible to quote him directly on any matter of politics or statecraft, but probably it will not be objectionable to was a visit to York coctage, where there was an intimate view of how the royal family lives. Some one of the king’s entourage took charge of cer tain groups of the editors and each appeared to be anxious to show the advantages and attractions of the great estate at its best. One curious journalist asked half-a-dozen lords and ladies in turn what was the area of Sandringham and all said they did not know. But the king promptly set tled all doubts by ruling that it is 15,- OOO acres. York cottage is a plain brick dwel ling of 15 or 20 rooms, of only mod erate size, with a workshop or study for the king. If there were any spe cial courtiers or equerries there they were not seen. The equipment in fur niture and In modern conveniences was complete and in some respects ele gant, but. there are many homes in America which might be compared fa vorably with it. There was a long tour afoot to the gardens and to the stables, both the particular hobby of King Edward. A pony cart driven by the . faithful Probyn, followed the company around. It was for the use of Queen Alexan dra, but she went the entire rounds with -the others and did not at any time appear to lose interest In her guests or in what they were saying and seeing. In the vicinity of the. royal stables is a great statue of Persimmon, which won the Derby In 1896, and which was a pet of the former king. He was bred at Sandringham. It is a magnificent effigy of a splendid horse. In the sta bles were many nninials each In charge of an attendant who brought them out for exhibition. Both the king, queen and the dowager queen busied them selves in passing to the thoroughbreds carrots which they took with great gusto. In all, there must be 100 first-, class animals in the stables. The chief of the stud Is “Friar Marcus,” which was never beaten a^ a two-year-old. Several members of the party who had the fortune to fall in with Queen Alexandra were asked to accompany her to a place she called a “workshop.” It appears to b£ modeled somewhat after the artcraft establishments com mon in America. There were many beautiful specimens of delicate hand made furniture. The companions of the queen were delighted with what they saw and said so, of course; where upon she graciously presented to each of these surprised and somewhat em barrassed Americans a tea table. One of the pieces will go to Buffalo, one to San Francisco and one to Portland. King Shows His Library. Tlie tour was completed by a sec ond visit to Sandringham, where tea was served. It was a rather elaborate function, though all the royal party continued to mingle with the visitors in the most democratic fashion. The king later expressed a desire to show the editors his library, doubtless with the idea that it should be of special interest to men in a supposedly liter ary calling, as it was. It had been a bowling alley, but King Edward ha<j thought If would be more useful and ItSTO HIP POL* TANK W ARFARE BLOODTHIRSTY AND RESULT OF WAR MAKES TH A TA RM UNNECESSARY. repeat that he is in accord with the 1 ornamental as a place of study and sentiment In England for a close union with the great American republic1—no binding agreement, no formal league, no contract alliance, merely a rap prochement which would prevent any vital disagreements and which would mean harmony and unity among all the English-speaking nations 'of the world with resultant benefit to civili zation and humanity. Someone had the temerity to say that the Repub lican party in America sadly needs a candidate for president, and asked if the king might not come to America and stand for the nomination with the assurance of certain election. The king merely responded to the novel sugges tion with- a loud “Ha-Ha.” The laugh of England’s king Is ready and con tagious. He understands an American joke. He likes baseball, too. He was immensely Interested In his several re views of American troops, and he per mitted it to be understood that he would like soon to see again the Ameri can soldiers In camp or on march. King and Queen as Guides. After many pleasantries with the king and queen and their attendants, the guests were asked if they might not desire to go over Sandringham. AU were, of course, delighted to say yes, and the whole company started, under the guidance of the king and queen, over the grounds. The king and queeta walked rapidly. First there reflection, and he made the change Then the king led the way to Sand ringham chapel, a wonderful little house of worship with many appropri ate decorations and memorials. Then he took them back to Iiis reception room where he and the royal group bade good-bye to all their guests, shak ing hands with each In turn. If they were asked to come again, at least one of the Americans did ndfTlear it. It may be assumed that it is not the royal custom, for there was every evi dence to show that the hosts were as pleased with the event as the-guests were. , The king has- the appearance and manner of an alert, quick-thinking, well-informed, well-groomed, middle- aged man of business. ■ Queen Mary, a stately and beautiful woman, with something of the grand manner, was throughout most gracious to her vis itors, and entered into the festivities in a very lively spirit. Queen Alex andra, dressed In complete black, has a noble presence, with an indescrib able personal charm. Princess Mary, yet a very young lady, was garbed quite simply, but most tastefully. She was everywhere among, the editors, who foqnd it impossible to resist her girlish find vivid personality. It was a great day for the editors. They saw the king and the queen, and the king and queen saw them.

Raleigh. Special from Washington.—Secre tary of War Newton D. Baker an nounced unequivocally that Camp Polk, Raleigh’s tank school, would he abandoned. There were no life-saving strings to the statement of the secre tary of war to bolster up the sanguine individuals where “hope springs eter nal in the human breast,” when war nurtured enterprises succumb to a natural death. The abolishment of Camp Polk will be complete, and the statement of Secretary Baker was nt- tered with a finality that there would be no mistaking of his intentions. Senator Simmons had a second con ference with the secretary of war, but the visit was to no avail. In fact, as related in this correspondence on Sun day, the war department had already formulated plans for uprooting the promising war time youngster at Ra leigh. The camp has not had a shad ow of a chance to outlive the world war. Tank camp warfare is blood thirsty, and the complete consuest of Germany should forever banish from the earth another conflict of like pro portions. Moreover, the Raleigh camp has not set well with a great body of Raleigh citizens, according to news that comes to Washington. A monster petition has just been filed with ‘the office of Senator Simmons urging that the camp be annihilated. Naval A ir Station Perm anent.

Department to establish as permanent the naval air station re cently located at Camp Glenn, near Morehead City, The property will either be acquired or leased for a con siderable term of years. “As it is the -policy of the depart ment to establish permanent stations only upon property which it owns or holds under a long term lease,” writes Secretary Daniels to Governor Bick- ett, “it seems proper at this time to refer to your letter of August 23, 1918, in which you tendered the “full and free use of Camp Glenn to the Navy Department.” In view of the above, it is requested that the department be advised wheth er there are any objections to proceed ing with negotiations, through the proper channels, leading to the pur chase or lease of the above named property.” L ifts Ban on Tanning Extracts. Complaints from F. R, HewitL of Asheville, to the effect that the Octo ber order of the War Industries Board restricting the market for tanning ex tracts to the nearest buyer worked a hardship on western North Caolina tanners have resulted in the abolish ment of the restrictions. T. C. Pow ell, of the United States Railroad Ad ministration, has written Senator Sim mons that these regulations have been Ufted and railroad cars can now be used for shipments to any points. Peace League to MeeL December 3rd has been selected as the date and Raleigh as the place of the State Convention of the North Carolina branch of -the League to En force Peace. This announcement was made from national headquarters of the league, after consultation with Governor Bickett and Clarence Poe, chairman of the North Carolina Con vention Committee. Governor Biekett has promised to appoint county .dele gates and it is expected that he wiU •be one of -the speakers. The principal speaker from outside the State will be James W.

Baptist Convention Postponed. Dr.- Livingston .Johnson, editor of the Biblical Recorder; was notified from Greensboro that owing to the prevalence of Spanish influenza in that ci>y the holding of the Baptist State Convention there would have to be postponed. The convention was to have opened December 3 in the First Baptist church. Many families who had planned to entertain the delegates have been stricken with the disease and could only with great difficulty asd hardship take care of their guests, and the physicians of the city advised that for delegates to come to Greens boro at this time might mean the. carrying of the disease to portions of the-state which have not yet been vis ited by it. Dr. Johnson was commun icated with over the telephone by Mr. J. B. Stroud, chairman of the enter tainment committee. Buy 250 Breeding Ewes. . Mr. George Evans, sheep field man for the AgricuIfurui Extension Service, Is shipping 250 head of breeding ewes from New Mexico to Spruce Pine in Mitchell county. Two hundred of these go to farmers-in the county, while 50 go out to the sheep experi mental farm neav Spruce Pine. The Experiment Station now has a total of 175 breeding ewes on this farm, and under the direction’ of W. R. Rad ford, as. superintendent, is gaining some important facts about sheep and wool production. .W ar R estrictions Remoyed. It will be most interesting and grat ifying news to life insurance policy holders throughout North Carolina, said James R. Young, state insurance commissioner, that the insurance com panies of the country have about all agreed to ignore the “special war clause” in policies of those insured who “risked the great adventure” by joining the Government’s fighting forces during the war .with Germany and not to exact any extra premium for war service, refunding all such that have-been paid. * . .

Single Stalk Cotton Culture. In an experiment conducted in four North Carolina counties, the profit ableness of single stalk culture of cot ton was determined ‘by the United States Department of Agriculture- Nine experiments were conducted in Edgecombe, Duplin, Sampson, and Craven. There were three experi ments in Eidgecombe county, one each at Whitakers, Battleboro ^nd Conetoe. The merits of single stalk culture over the old-time methods varied from three to twenty-six per cent In one instance, where three pickings were made, single stalk culture yielded more seed cotton at each picking than the old method. Among the farmers who negotiated the experiments were W. K. Benson, of Battleboro; L. L. Draughton, of Whitakers; W. R. Fel ton, of Contoe; H. D. Sloan, of Samp son; W. I. Wright, of Sapipson; L. M.

One very nice-looking, overenthusl- asiic young tiling, stopped at my bed and asked, “What wounded you in the face?” In a polite but bored tone I an swered, “A rifle bullet.” With a look of disdain she passed to the nest bed,'first ejaculating, “Oh! Only a bullet? I thought It was a shell." Why she should think a shell wound was more of a distinction beats me. I don’t see a whole lot of differ ence myself. The American Women’s War .hospl- tn! was a heaven for wounded men. They were allowed every privilege pos sible conducive with the rules and mili- tnry discipline. The only fault was that the men's passes were restricted. To get a pass required an act of par liament. Tommy tried many-tricks to get out, but the commandant, an old Burr war officer, was wise to them all, and It took a new and clever ruse to make him allix his signature to the coveied slip of paper. As soon as it would, get dark many a patient climbed over the wall and went •'on his own,” regardless of many signs staring him in the face. "Out of bounds for patients." Generally 'the nurses were looking the other way when one of these night raids started. I hope . this information will get none of them into trouble, but I cannot resist the temptation to let the commandant Snow that occasionally we put it over on him. One afternoon I received a note, through our underground channel, from my female visitor, asking me to attend a party at her house that night. I answered that she could expect me and to meet me at a certain place on the road well known by all patients, and 6ome visitors, as “over the wall.” I told her I would be on hand at seven- thirty. About seven-fifteen I sneaked my overcoat and cap out of the ward and hid It in the bushes. Then I told the nurse, a particular friend of mine, that I was going for a walk In the rose gar den. She winked and I knew that ev erything was all right on her end. Going out of the ward, I slipped into the bushes and -made for the wall. It was dark as pitch and I was groping through the underbrush, when sudden ly I stepped Into space and felt inyself rushing downward, a horrible bump, and blackness. When I came to my wounded shoulder was liurtiug horri bly. I was lying against a circular wall of bricks, dripping with moisture, and far away I could hear the trickling of water. I had in the darkn’ess fallen Into an old disused well. But why wasn’t I wet? According to all rules I should have been drowned. Perhaps I was and didn’t know it. As the shock of my sudden stop gradually wore off it came to me that I was lying on a ledge and that the least movement on my part would pre cipitate me to the bottom of the well. I struck a match. In its faint glare I saw that I was lying in a circular, hole about twelve feet deep—the well had been filled in I The dripping I had heard came from a water pipe over on my right. With’ my wounded shoulder it was Impossible to shinny up the pipe. I cobid not yell for help, because the rescuer would want to know how the accident happened, and I would be haled before the commandant on charges. I just had to griu and bear It, with the forlorn hope that one of the returning night raiders would pass and I could give him our usual signal of “siss-s-s-s,” which would bring him to Jhe rescue. Every half-hour I could hear the clock in the village strike, each stroke bringing forth a muffled volley of curses on the man who had dug the well. After two hours I heard two men talking in low voices. I recognized Corporal Cook, an ardent “night raid er.” He heard my “siss-s-s-s” and came to the edge of the hole. I ex plained my predicament and amid a lot of impertinent remarks, which at the time I did not resent, I. was soon fished out. Taking off our boots, we sneaked into the ward. I was sitting on my bed in the dark, just- starting to undress, when the man next to me, “Ginger” Phillips, whispered, “ ’Op it, Yank, ’ere comes the matron.” I immediately got under the covers and feigned sleep. The matron stood talking in low tones to the night nurse nnd I fell asleep. When I awoke in the morning the night sis.ter, an American, was bending over me. An awful sight met my eyes. The coverlet on the bed and the sheets were a mass of mud and green slime. She was a good sport-all right, and hustled to get clean clothes and sheets so that no one would get wise, but “on her own” she gave me a good tongue Iasliing but did not report me. One of the Canadians in the ward described her as being “a Jake of a good fel low.” Next visiting day I had an awful time explaining to my visitor why I had not met her at the appointed time AZid place Copyright 1917, bj Arthur Quy Bmpey And for a' week every time I passed a patient he would call, “Well, well, here’s the Yank. Hope you are feel ing well, old top.” The surgeon in our ward was an American, a Harvard unit man, named Frost. We nicknamed him “Jack Frost." He was loved'by all. If a Tommy was'to be cut up he had no ob jection to undergoing thq operation if “Jack Frost” was to wield the knife. Their confidence in him was pathetic. He was the best sport I have ever met. One Saturday morning the command ant and-some “high up” office! 5 were inspecting the ward, when one of the patients who had been wounded In the head by a bit of shrapnel, fell on the floor in a fit. They brought him round, and then looked for the ward orderly to carry the patient back to his bed at the other end of the ward. The or derly was nowhere to be found—like our policemen, they never are when needed. The officers were at a loss how to get Palmer into bis bed. Doc tor Frost was fidgeting around In a nervous manner, when suddenly with $ ^ I l t i i i i i fct J1 - *< ^ ' * In e Author Just Before Leaving for Home. a muffled “d n” and a few other qualifying adjectives, he stooped down anp took the man in his arms like a baby—he was no feather, either—and staggered down the ward with him, put him in bed add undreksed him. A low murmur of approval came from the pa tients. Doctor Frost got very red, and as soon as he had finished undressing Palmer, hurriedly left-the ward. The wound In my face had almost healed and I was a horrible-looking sight—the left cheek twisted into a knot, the eye pulled down, and my mouth pointing in a north by north west direction. I was very downheart ed and could imagine myself during the rest of my life befng shunned by all on account Uf the repulsive scar Doctor Frost arranged for me to go to the Cambridge Military- hospital at Aldershot for a special' operation to try and make the scar presentable. I arrived at the hospital and got an awful shock. The food was poor and the discipline abnormally strict. No patient was allowed to sit on his bed, and smoking was permitted only at certain designated hours. The face specialist did nothing for me except to look at the wound. I made appli cation for a transfer back to .Paignton, offering to pay. my transportation. This offer was accepted, and after two weeks’ absence, once again I arrived in Munsey ward, ali hope gone. The next day after my return Doc tor Frost stopped at my bed and said: “Well, Etnpey, If you want me to try and see what I can do with that scar I’ll do it, but you are taking an awful chance.” I answered: “Well, doctor, Steve Brodie took a chance; he hails from New York and so do I.” Two days after the undertaker squad carried me to the operating room or “pictures,” as we called them because 'of the funny films we see un der ether, and the operation was. per formed. It was a wonderful piece of surgery and a marvelous success. From now on that doctor can have my shirt. More thnn once some poor soldier has been brought into the ward in a dying condition, resulting from loss of blood and exhaustion caused by his long journey from the trenches. After an examinatibn the doctor announces that the only thing that will save him Is a transfusion of blood. Where is the blood to come from? He does not have to wait long for an answer—sev eral Tommies immediately volunteer their blood for their mate. Three or four are accepted; a blood test is made, and next day the transfusion takes place and there is another pale face In the ward. Whenever bone is needed for some special operation, there are always | men willing to give some—a leg if i necessary to save some mangled mate I from being crippled for life. More I than one man will go through life with j another man’s blood, running through I his veins, or a piece of his rib or his j shinbone in his own anatomy. Some- I times he never even knows the name of j his benefactor. j The spirit of sacrifice is wonderful, j For all the suffering caused this war : is a blessing to England—it has made 1 new men of her sons; has welded all : classes into one glorious whole. I And I can’t help saying that the doc- j tors, sisters, and nurses in the English , hospitals, are angels on earth. I love them all and can never repay the care and kindness shown to me. For the rest of my life the Eed Cross will be to me the symbol of Faith, Hope and CharityT After four months in the hospital, I went before an examining board and was discharged from the service of his Britannic majesty as “physically unfit for further war service.” After my discharge I engaged pass age on the American liner New York, and after a stormy trip across the At lantic one momentous day, In the haze of early dawn, I saw the statue of lib erty looming over the port rail, and I wondered if ever again I would go “over the top with the best of luck and give them hell.” _ 1 And even then, though it may seem : strange, I was really sorry not to be back in the trenches with my mates. War is not a pink tea, but in a worth while cause like ours, mud, rats, coo ties, shells, wounds, or death itself, are far outweighed by the deep sense of satisfaction felt by the man who does his bit. 1 There is one thing which my ex- j perience taught me that might help the boy who may have to go. It is this— anticipation is far worse than realiza tion. In civil life a man stands in awe of the man above him, wonders how he could ever fill his job. When the time comes he rises to the occasion, is up and at it, and is surprised to find how much more easily than he anticipated he fills his responsibilities. It is reaily so “out there.” He has nerve for the hardships; the interest of the work grips him ; he finds relief in the fun and comradeship of the trenches and wins that best sort of Iiappiness that comes with duty well done.

ROMEO WAS CLAD IN KHAKI Played the Popular Game, Choosin the Dinner Table to Work on Af fection! of Waitress. It is natural that wq.should be eager to do whatever we can for the boys in khaki; but sometimes, when the pa triotic zeal Is not accompanied by a sympathetic imagination, the benefi ciary may pray to be delivered from our friends, writes “An American Woman” in the Outlook. A homesick lad is likely to want either an atmosphere like that of his own home or else the exotic flavor the expectation of which has helped him to undertake the great adventure so cheerily. In one family among my neighbors the son of the house was scandalized when one of their guests at Sunday dinner made the perfectly simple and natural request that he be permitted after the meal to repair to the kitchen where the pretty waitress was. Per mission was denied, but young Romeo was not discouraged, and this letter came “To the Girl That Waits for Mrs. So-and-So: You Are the best ever. Are you keeping company with any body?"

Then it is that a good driver’s care comes in, for the men tend them most carefully, feeding them by hand, boil ing their oats, making them mashes, and spending most of the day with their charges until they can feed in comfort again. It is this personnl care of the man for his horse that has been the cause of the new order thn* all horses have to be returned from hospital .to their own units again; for a man's care is by no means transferred to the same extent to a new team of horses.

C.— (Special.)—A c-1 cording to a report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epi demic of influenza in Spain has al ready caused an increase In the preva lence and deaths from pulmonary tu berculosis. A similar association be tween influenza and tuberculosis was recently made by Sir Arthur News- liolme, the chief medical officer of the English public health service, in his analysis of the tuberculosis death rate in England. In order that the people of the Unit ed States may profit by the experience of other countries Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the United StateSiPub- Iic Health Service has just issued a warning emphasizing the need of spe cial precautions at the present time. “Experience seems to indicate,” says the Surgeon General, “that persons whose resistance has been weakened by an attack of influenza are peculiar ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With millions of its people recently affected with influenza this eountry now of fers conditions favoring the spread of tuberculosis." One Million Consumptives in the United States. “Then you consider th is. a serious menace?” was asked. “In my opinion it is, though I hasten to add it is dis tinctly one against which the people can guard. So far as one can estimate there are at present about one million cases of tuberculosis In the United States. There is unfortunately no complete census available to show ex actly the number of tuberculosis per sons in each state despite the fact that most of the states have made the dis ease reportable. In New York city, where reporting has been In force for many years, over .35,000 cases of tu berculosis are registered with the De partment of Health. Those familiar with the situation believe that the ad dition ofjunvecognized and'unreported cases would make the number nearer 50,000. The very careful health sur vey conducted during the past two years in Framingham, Mass., revealed 200 cases of tuberculosis In a popula tion of approximately 15,000. If these proportions hold true for the United States as a whole they would indicate that about one in every hundred per sons is tuberculous. Each of these constitutes a source of danger to be guarded against” What to Do. In his statement to the public Sur geon General Blue points out how those who have had influenza should protect themselves against tuberculo sis. “AU'who have recovered from in fluenza," says the Surgeon General, “should have their lungs carefully ex amined by a competent physician. In fact, it is desirable to have several ex aminations made a month apart Such examinations cannot be made through the Clotliing nor can they be carried out in two or three minutes. If the lungs are found to be free from tuber culosis every effort should be made to keep them so. This can be done by right living, good food and plenty of fresh air." * Danger Signs. The Surgeon General warned espe cially against certain danger signs, such as “declin(e” and "colds which hang on.” These, ho explained, were often the beginning of tuberculosis. “If you do not get well promptly, if your cold seems to hang on or your health and strength define, remember that these are often the early signs of tuberculo sis. Place yourself at once under the care of a competent physician. Tuber culosis Is curable in the.early stages. Patent Medicines Dangerous in Tuber culosis. “Above all do not trust in the mis leading statements of unscrupulous patent medicine fakers. There is no specific medicine for the cure of tuber culosis. The money spent on such medicines is thrown aWaj7; Jt should be spent instead for good food and de cent living.” ‘E m y P k t u r e M s a S t o r y " 5 IR I B a c k F e e l A c h y A f t e r G rip ?

I.: LI; P L K . i I=W" An International Service Built on Tiny Profits Per Pound Some industries have been able to get in step' with war demands more quickly than others. In many cases mighty plants have sprung up—but at a prodigious cost. The packing industry was able to adapt itself to unheard of demands more quickly, perhaps, than any other industry. And this was because the vast equipment of packing plants, refrigerator cars, branch houses, etc., had been gradually developed to its present state of efficiency, so that in the crucial hour it became a mighty international system for war service. And how had this development taken place? Not by making vast inroads into the capi tal wealth of the country, but largely by using, from year to year, a portion of the profits, to provide for expansion. Sw ift & Com pany’s profits have alw ays been so tiny, com pared w ith sales, th at they have had practic ally no effect on the price of m eat (am ounting to only a fraction of a cent per pound).

We are going to speak our m ind freely on a dead one. • ■ ‘ He was an old tim er, it is tru e He’s been around L ordsburg m any, many years. Everybody knew him , but nobody liked the old rascal. He has been the cause of m ore than one merchant going broke. The old scalawag ought to have been hung and not let die. “ He used to pal around w ith th at big fat slob, John Barleycorn.- The two of them used to stagger and swagger up and down m ain street to the utter disgust of everybody. Old John Barleycorn left here Oct. .1. He found the altitude too high and the climate too dry, so he beat it. “The other fellow got so rank among the business places th at they drove him out long ago. The two leading m ercantile establishm ents hung placards about their places calling the attention of the public that he w asn't even perm itted to en ter their stores, “ Driven out of every other place, he made his way dow n.to the new s paper office and there m et his end.

''To make it plain w hat a busy body the old guy was, he leaned ov er our desk and picked up a letter, and as luck would have it,- it was from the war industries board order ing us to m ake all subscribers to our paper pay in advance. W hen the old bird’s eye lit on th at he fell over dead. He dfed in his last Damming place, the- new spaper' office.

It was said of the G reat Phvsician, and they are saying it nowadays of the.- soldiers . who pay the biggest price in France, th a t “ G reater love hath no m an than this,—th at he lav down his life for his friends.” Hal Lewis wasn’t a physician, and he wasn’t in the arm y, but there isn’t, any kipd of doubt in the . heart of A lbem arie th at he gave his life, gave it deliberately and with full knowledge of w hat he was .doing, th at the sorelv afflicted people he sought to serve m ight live. In the two or three weeks im m ediately pre ceding his death, the drugstore where he worked was besieged with people begging for a doctor, for a. nurse, for anything to help their sick and dying families. Hal Lewis couldn’t bear it. He worked froni six in the m orning until 12 a t night filling prescriptions. And it is well known th at every night he w ent out through the town, visiting the sick, prescribing, carrying medicine to them , and paying for it when there was need. A friend of his was ill, and w hat rem ained of his night he spent there. H e fell ill. O f course he did. T hat big heart, em bracing hum anity in friendly, firm hold, was a poor weak- thing physically, and it failed him , as things of the earth will fail. And so he died. The apotnesis of Christian life, one would say, -is so living as Christ m ight w ere he in the world today. If C hrist had been in A lbem arle these last days of influenza and hor ror. his path and th at of Hal .Lewis m ust surely have fallen close togeth er. And perhaps it is not too fanci ful to say th at Hal Lewis’s resurect- ion has already 'taken place in the lives of people here.

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this con tinent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the propo sition th at all men are created equal. Now,we are engaged in. a g reat civil w ar, testing w hether th a t na tion, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are m et on a g reat battlefield of that. war. We are m et to dedicate a portion of it as the final resting place of those, who here gave their lives th at th at nation m ight live. It is altogether fitting and proper th a t Are should do this. B ut in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate; we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our power to add. or de tract. The world will little note or long rem em ber w hat we say here, hut it can never forget what they did here. It isfo r us. the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished w ork th at they have thus far so nobly carried on.

If the consumer .has to pay too much for his meat, he eats less of it, and the packer finds his market decreased. The packer wants the producer to get enough to make live-stock raising profitable, and he wants the price of meat so low that everyone will eat it. But all he can do, and what he would have to do in any case to stay in busi ness, is to keep down the cost of pro cessing the farmer’s stock into meat so that the consumer pays for the meat and by-products only a little more than, the farmer gets for his animals. For example, last year Swift & Company paid for its cattle about 90 per cent of what it got for meat and by-products (such as hides, tallow, oils, etc.) If cattle from the farm were turned miraculously into meat in the'hands of retailers (without going through the ex pense of dressing, shipping and market ing), the farmer would get only about 1% cents per pound more for his cattle, or consumers would pay only about 2% cents per pound less for their beef I,• ‘ t •Out of this cent or two per pound, Swift & Company pays for the operation of extensive plants, pays freight on meats, operates refrigerator cars, maintains branch houses, and in most cases," de livers to retailers all over the United States. The profit amounts to only a fraction of a cent, and a part o f this profit goes to build more plants, to give better service, and to increase the com pany’s usefulness So the country.

F. Alexander, a prominent business man and former member of the legislature, is the big gest bit of news coming into the cen tral office of the million dollar cam paign for the Baptist schools in (he State thus far this week. Of this amount, $5,000 goes to W ake Forest College, and $5,000 to Mere dith College. The interest on this in vested fund is to be used in keeping a boy and a girl from Rutherford county at these institutions each year, as long as time shall last, or during the life of these institutions. Agricultural Department, BudgeL . . . The budget for the department of agriculture is a slight advance over the budget for the past year, and amounts to over $300,000. The board adopted -resolutions offered by Dr. Clarence Poe congratulating the peo ple of the State on the adoption of the six months’ school amendment to the -State constitution. “Letters-From-Home” Week. New York (Special).—The week of December 15 has been designated by the war department commission on training camp activities as a tim e for special letters to be written by moth ers, fathers, sisters, wives and sweet hearts of the men now overseas. The week has been called “Letters-From- Home” week, and the purpose is to apply the “home touch” to a broad- gauged military program for maintain ing the morale tof the men who find themselves idle after week3 of strenu ous fighting. The war department hopes through these letters, to keep the men contented, “straight,” and ambitious to live up to the high Ideals of American manhood. A model letter snch as the govern ment wants the mothers and fathers especially to. write has been prepared by the war department. This, with letters from Secretary of War Baker and Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of the commission, indorsing the plan, has been mailed 'to newspapers throughout the country. The letter particularly asks that the" men over seas direct their attention to whole some recreation and activities, instead of to the unwholesome influences that might result from the enforced period of idleness wherever large bodies of troops are awaiting orders to return home. Daggett Named Director. . Prof. P. H. Daggett, head of the department of electrical engineering at the state university, has been ap pointed district director of the S. A. T. C. for the South Atlantic states, to succeed the late President E. K. Gra ham. President Mathewson, of the •Georgia Institute of Technology, who was tendered the appointment by the. committee on education and special training, thought it unwise to accept at this time. Professor Daggett, hav ing been intimately connected with the work of’the S. A. T. C. as chair man of the committee on education and special training at Wqshington, during the past summer and director of the S. A. T. C. committee at the university this fall, is eminently qualified to fill the position made va cant by the death, of President Gra ham. He has been acting director of the S. A. T. C. pending the appoint ment of a permanent director. , Baptist Convention Meets Jan. 14-17. The Baptist state convention, which was to m eet December 3-6, but was postponed on account of the Influenza situation,' will meet in Greensboro, January 14-17. This date has been fixed by the officers of the conven tion. When it was ascertained that Greensboro would not be able to en tertain the convention at the time 'appointed, Charlotte very magnani mously offered to take it, but in de ference to Greensboro the committee decided to -postpone the convention ■to a time when it could meet there. This new date of the meeting of the convention makes more certain the completion of the million-dollar campaign for the Baptist schools of the state by that time". This is the •Mg objective now before the conven tion. Perhaps never before were the Baptist people ot the state so aroused over any question. In many churches throughout the state, in the cities and in -the country places,, an intensive drive has been put on. A .cablegram, just received from Shanghai, China, sent by Eugene Turner, a. W ake Forest boy, shows how far-reaching is this campaign. The cablegram states that 18 mission aries are sending a substantial offer ing to the m illion dollar fund. Glad W ilson Will Be Present Governor Thomas W. Bickett, in his address at the m assmeeting of Bap tists of Charlotte and -their friends at the First Baptfct church, referring to the peace conference, said, “I thank God that Woodrow W ilson will be there and' we can rest assured that wh<n-he sits down at the peace table this- nation and the earth will get ex actly ,what we fought for. I am glad that Woodrow W ilson will sit there.- I am glad that Lloyd George will sit there. Woodrow W ilson is the son of a Presbyterian minister; Lloyd George is the son of a Baptist m inis ter. Not one thing will go into that conference but what is asked' for by the preachers’ boys." Tornado of Prosperity Coming. The great wave of prosperity which the country has beep enjoying for the past months under the loosing of bil lions for war work is' but a gentle zephyr to the tornado of prosperity which is on the way, according to many who are students of the busi ness barometer. Judge R W. W inston has caught the inspiration, largely from his old friend Ralph Louder, of Philadelphia, a big Ihmber dealer, who stopped over in Raleigh on his -return from Chicago where he attended a m eeting of lum ber men from all sections of the coun try. Judge W inston advises every body .to get ready for ultra prosper ity. It’s coming with a whoop, he says. Mr. Louder informed the judge that the president of the First National bank of Chicago said to the dumber men that the demand for. lumber, for food stuff, for coal, for iron and steel, for clothes and shoes, cotton m ill sup plies, hardware, and for labor would T>e beyond the reach of the imagina tion. Next year,V he said, m ust supply the world’s wastage of four years ,and the change from war to peace will be in full sw ing in the. next few months. Not a flash of cloud in the financial sky. Mr. Louder said he felt 500 per cent better than w h en 'h e went to Chicago. . Governor Inspects Camp Bragg. Acoompanied by Fayetteville busi ness men, who were his hosts, and of ficers of the camp, Gov! Thomas W . Bickett inspected Camp Bragg. The governor visited the administration building, where the work on construc tion was shown. Col. Maxwell Mur ray, camp commander, Major John K. Thomason, constructing quartermas ter, and Captain Leigh K. Lydecker, were shown over the cantonment site and traveled the artillery range and visited the water power dam on Lit tle river.

H is babyshlp sleeps, well wrapped up, in a room with open windows, or on a shel tered porch, or perhaps In his carriage In park or garden, if his life is or dered by a trained nurse or equally well Informed mother. Little tots, old enough to play and tumble abouL are clad in knitted garments, leggings, sweaters, caps, hoods and mittens, and seem as comfortable in the nipping cold as young cubs. The next stage, so .far as dress is concerned, marks the parting of the ways fot boys and girls. When the lit tle miss arrives at three or four years she takes on furs nnd they are her privilege for the rest of her life. Min iature neckpieces and muffs are made for these diminutive ladies. Their cloth and silk coats are provided with .fur collars nnd cuffs, small fur hats, or fur-trimmed bonnets, crown their curls. Many furs of indefinite origin are used for children's sets, made In im itation of other skins by resourceful furriers. Even so, one wonders that there is fur enough to go around; it is so universally worn by grown-ups. A set that owes its markings to art, Instead .of nature fas shown In tlie pic ture. It is pretty and inexpensive—as furs gr— and nicely suited to the little girl 'Df eleven or so who is so well pleased with it. These fur sets make ideal Christmas' gifts.

But among the furs-suited to- children are ermine, beaver and squirrel—the last a great favorite—but these in garments, are less popular than inexpensive furs, even with people who need not consid er price. On little coats it is not un usual to find small collars and cuffs o f Hudson seal. Use o f Lace. - ' The French models, some of them, show lace. This is an interesting an nouncement just now. For one thing, we haven’t used lace for a good many years, excepting a bit of filet or Val enciennes In our lingerie blouses. There were a few- black lace evening' frocks a few seasons ago, but on the whole lace Jias not been In high fash ion for q long time. Another interest ing phase of this lace question is th is: Lace is scarce. At least, with the lace workers of Belgium out of the markeL and with the lace workers of European countries .presumably engaged in va rious other industries, it is difficult to see how much new lace can be pro duced. For lace making takes time. A V ic to r y f / Even before news of the- signing of the armistice set the hearts of the world to rejoicing, apparel began to reflect the cheerful mood of a public certain of victory. Among other things optimism showed itself first in more picturesque and colorful mil linery, more formal evening dress and In dinner and house gowns of splen didly colored oriental silks. The signs point to reaction from things quiet and sedate to things lively and bright In the ma'tter of clothes. Soon we shall see how the colonies of fash ionables at southern resorts- express themselves In clothes.- WIien it comes to negligees—there are no two minds. They are the love liest of garments and only worn for the eyes of those privileged to enjoy them within the wails of home. War or no war, women consider themselves entitled tq these lovely fineries dur ing the strenuous, times just passing. W e may be sure their home-returning heroes will find them gloriously ar rayed, and negligees will be as lovely as they know how to make them, i A beautiful (and perhaps a bit ex travagant). example of the negligee is pictured above. ‘ It is a superb inter, pretation in lace, over soft pink satin slip, of dress for the eyes of Intimates.

It was a pleasant coincidence that the presidential party met several transports thronged with American troops just sent home from England and France. Mr. Wilson, it was expected, would land at JBrest about December 12 and proceed at once to Paris, where the residence of Prince Murat has been prepared for him. The other delegates and most of the rest of the. large party will be housed in the Hotel Crillon. The president Is assured of a warm and even enthusiastic welcome in France, Great Britain and Italy. His arrival in Europe will be scarcely less welcome to the people of what were the central empires. The governments of those states, distracted and dishev elled, look to Mr. Wilson to mollify the entente powers and obtain for them less rigorous peace terms than the. crimes of the Teutons have de served. Whether he will be able to accomplish this, or even will attempt it, remains to be seen. The president has not -taken into his confidence the con gress or the people of America, pos sibly because he could not guess, prior tj> conferences with the representatives of the entente nations, how far he might dare to go in the way of human- itarianism. They are willing and eager to confer with him on all matters and doubtless will defer to his'judgment In many things, but they have their own very certain ideas as to the treat ment that should be accorded the Ger man nation and people. One of these Ideas is that the ex kaiser must be put on trial for murder and, if found guilty—the “if” might as well be “when”—must be adequately punished. The best legal authorities of gngland and France agree that Wil liam can be extradited from Holland, and there is no doubt that in any event enough pressure could be brought to induce the Dutch to give him up. From the beginning of the war the English and French have de termined that William should ultimate ly be brought to JQstlce personally, and there Is ample reason for the de pression from which the deposed'ruler is said, to be suffering at Amerongen. The former crown prince, who, by the way, says he has not yet renounced his rights to the throne, may also be put on trial. He, in his Dutch retreat, has been telling how he and his father were forced into all their outrageous actions by the military clique and Betlimann-Hcflweg. He also tries to shift to others the blame for the ter rific defeats his army sustained. —la— Another, fixed intention of the en tente powers is to compel Germany to pay to the limit of her capacity. Her ability to make financial reparation for the' damage her armies have done is undoubted. The measures to be-adopt ed by the Miies are yet unsettled. Ger many's state-owned mineral, coal and potash deposits and railways alone are worth vastly’ more than the claims of the allies will amount to, and it is not Unlikely that those, will be seized. In moffey, the country is. almost as rich as it was before the war. This question of reparation brings up the matter of a commercial boycott. Many authorities assert that the only way Germany can pay will be by ob taining raw materials from the coun tries she has been fighting and selling her products in their markets. Very likely the peace conference will declare against the boycott idea, but it will not be so easy to persuade the peoples of the allied nations to buy German- made goods. Most of them would pre fer to see Germany reduced to the po sition she has earned for herself, to have such money as can be taken from her, and to let the rest of the financial reparation go by.the board. Austria, too, is making the loud wail for raw materials and markets. Dr. Franz Klein, who will, represent at the peace conference the so-called Austrian re public, provided he is admitted, is re- ■ lying especially on America to be “fair" and to solve the troubles of the late empire so that all the republics can live in peace and prosperity. Some job! • — JE»— Conditions in Germany are almost as uncertain as in Bussia after the fall of Kerensky. Just who or what comprises the government it Is hard to say. Premier Ebert and his moderate socialist colleagues are still the nomi nal rulers of Prussia, but Dr. Ivarl Liebknecht and his Spartacus group of socialists—the German equivalent of the bolshevikl—are vigorously, ,fighting to get the-upper hand. They are especlaly strong In Berlin, which is In a state of great disorder. It is reported that Liebknecht has 15,000 men well armed and is planning a ter rorist revolution. He reviles Ebert for asking food from America, for, since this is conditioned on the maintenance of order, it is “yielding to a capitalist effort to beat bolshevik aims.” Lieb- knecht’s organ, the Bed Flag, demands the dismissal of officers and the choosing by soldiers of their leaders; the immediate arming of the revolu tionary workmen and the disarming of all other organizations; the destruc tion of capitalism, the .annulment of war loans and the socialization of all business. “The soldiers’ and workmen’s coun cils of Germany have demanded that the ex-kalser be tried by a German tribunal, which would probably be the best he could hope for. — f e - In many parts of Germany there is swift reaction against the bolshevik movement, and it threatens to grow into a counter-revolution, with the pos sible restoration of the monarchy. This is fostered by many officers and, supported by certain units of the army. That it will go far seems quite unlikely. The soldiers and workmen generally, however, seem disposed to support the Ebert government rather than the Spartacus group. The leaders of the Bavarian repub lic have induced the Berliners to de mand the resignation of Doctor Solf, whose retention as foreign secretary has been one of the’ puzzles to outsid ers, and to exclude Matlilas Erzberger from the peace negotiations. —Pa— The late leaders of Germany and Austria are quarreling among them selves concerning who was responsible for starting the war, and the present leaders are demanding that this ques tion be settled by an inquiry and the guilty ones punished. How much chance there is of a fair investigation is revealed by the fact, just brought to light, that the German foreign office burned all the documents In the ar chives that might place the responsibil ity for the war on the German govern ment. It is interesting to note that Doctor Solf has proposed that a neu tral commission inquire into the ori gin of the war. — t e — The allied armies of occupation con tinue their march Into German terri tory and are meeting with no resist ance and little trouble of any kind. The Germans are not keeping up to schedule in complying with the armis tice terms, but say this Is Impossible In some instances. For instance, they cannot gather the required number of locomotives, and th e' airplanes called for are being given up where they are instead of being collected and surren dered in a bunch. The last of the Hun submarines have been turned over to the alUed fl.eet and the, Germany nirvy, Whose personnel *as denounced tradict the idea that the Germans are short of food and clothing. The peo ple in the occupied districts are studi ously Indifferent to the invaders of openly eager to keep up. their trade. The French and British have been moving forward in their zones with little incident. Among the loot already recovered from the Germans is the $60,000,000 taken from the BuSsian treasury. The Huns also have returned a rich art collection that was stolen from SI Quentin, and other paintings taken from Valenciennes. • — f t — ' The all-Busslan government at Omsk appears to be gaining in stability, but the bolshevik! have not let up In their trouble-maklng. An irruption of Heds into Esthonla has alarmed the govern* ment there, murdering, burning and plundering being unhindered. Livo nia also has been Invaded by them. A call for help by sea was sent out, and a few days ago a British fleet ar rived at Llbau. The vessels probably, will proceed to Bevel and land men to stop the slaughter. The bolshevik au thorities In western Itussia have turn ed back 1,500,000 Russian soldiers who have been prisoners In Germany, and it.nvas reported that the men hod seiz ed four ships at Danzig which the British Bed Cross had obtained from Germany .for the housing of prisoners. — IBs— The Ckralnians and the Poles de cline to stop fighting. They are chas ing each other back and forth In terri tory which both claim, and it is diffi cult to say which has the advantage. Recently the Poles occupied ’ Brest- Litovsk, the town where Germany ne gotiated the peace treaties with K ub- sia and the Ukraine. —la— Before President Wilson left the country he delivered his address to congress reassembled for the short session. He paid glowing tribute to the forces of America, military and civilian, which helped win the war, and! said he was going across to interpret his ideas of world peace because he considered that was his bounden dutyj But he did not give any specific infor mation as to his plans, no'r did he so much as mention his colleagues on the peace delegation. In dealing with do mestic matters, the president said he was convinced it would be wrong to turn the railroads back to private own ership under present conditions', but that unless congress solved the ques tion in the near future he would relin quish the roads. Other matters that he asked congress to act upon quickly were the revenue bill, the navy build* Ing plan and woman suffrage. Secre tary Daniels’ plan for the navy is for steady and rapid Increase of the fleet, for which he asks about $434,000,000. The estimates submitted to congress by Secretary Baker provide foij a regu lar army of approximately 500,000,- but certain Items are included that leave the question of the strength of the army open until after the conclusion of peace. —IS — The American troops already are coming back from Europe, the first to arrive, except for the wounded, being the aviation units that were training In England. —Pa— As was expected, the president ap pointed Congressman Carter Glass of Virginia to succeed Mr. McAdoo as secretary of the treasury. He has been chairman of the house committee on banking and currency and his selection for the cabinet position meets with general approval. ■ — t e — While the rest of the world Is- turn- ing to the ways of peace, Chile and Peru are preparing for war. The an cient quarrel over the provinces of .Tacna and Arica has been revived, the people have been Insulting and provok ing each other and the situation is crit* ical. The armies of th» two countries have been ordered to mobilise, and unless wiser counsels prevail hostili ties will follow before long.

BALTIMORE, MD. Shades of Ike Walton! Here is the pathetic tale of a fish, really a lot of fish. A mnn wns ar raigned for burglary. He had climbed into a studio and stole a painting of a.bowl of goldfish. He pleaded guilty and received a suspended sentence. Then he violated his parole and was dragged into the police net again. His friends begged clemency on the grounds that lie drank like a fish and went on a whale of a souse. Then the sharks would get hold of him and make a sucker of him. The police declared that he was more like an eel when he violated his parole. Tiie judge, who was something of a piscatorial expert himself, took pity on thd fisherman \yho never got a fish, but lectured him. “Bob,” said the judge, “you got to be a good fish.

Iowherb are fine stores for winter, while honeys from basswood, hearts ease (smartweed), asters, goldenrod, and most of the other fall flowers are less desirable. It Is especially Impor tant during the period -when the bees are In the cellar that the stores shall be of the very finest quality, and It is therefore the practice of many good beekeepers to feed each colony five, pounds or more of sirup made of gran ulated sugar late in the fall, after all brood-rearing has ceased. This In sures that the bees will have for their use, during the period of confinement in the cellar, stores which will not bring about the condition known as dysentery. In general it may be stated that honeys from mixed sources and dark honeys, except buckwheat, are to be avoided. Honeydew honeys are highly injurious and In all cases where such stores are present granulated sugar sirup should be fed. Quantity of Stores. From the end of one honey season to the beginning of the next a good colony of bees will need fully 45 pounds of honey. When the bees are wintered in the cellar. It is usual not to have all of this honey in the one hive body In which they are wintered. It is a good practice to have at least 20 pounds within this hive, although 15 poueds will be safe. It is absolute ly imperative, however, that the re mainder of- the 45 pounds shall be available to be given to the bees soon after they are taken from the cellar. The most common cause of poor col onies In the spring is poverty, directly due to neglect on the part of the bee keeper. A good beekeeper sees to it that at no tim e when brood Is being reared do his bees have less than 15 pounds of stores In the hive, and the full amount of 45 pounds often will all he used, and is always needed if the colonies are to come to full strength on time for the gathering of the full crop. This amount is al ways augmented by honey from spring flowers, for 45 pounds of honey is not enough to bring a colony to full strength in tim e for the main honey- flow.

O f Oreat Assistance In Rearranging Farm on More Profitable Basis— Records W ill Prove to Bo of Great Benefit. (P rep ared b y th e U nited S tates D ep art m en t o f A griculture.) There is no doubt that the-keeping of farm 'accounts will prove of great value in determining which branches of farming are the m ost profitable. If they , are kept accurately for a long period they may be of great assistance in rearranging the farm on a more profitable basis. In making use of the results of a year’s cost accounts for purpose of perfecting the organiza tion of the farm for the greatest profit any changes should be made with cau tion. H asty conclusibns should not be drawn. Sometimes a positive decrease In a year’s profits m ay ensue if an en terprise be dropped because, taken alone, it has failed to pay. Cows, for instance, may not be showing a net profit, but if all the cows are sold- there may be no other profitable way of using up roughage which would thereby be wasted, resulting in a loss on the crop producing it. Labor de voted night and morning to milking and feeding cows, and charged to them, would be entirely wasted if the cows were sold and nothing else sup plied to utilize i t Thus an added la bor burden would have to'be borne.by the other enterprises. It is much bet ter that these things be utilized than that they should be a dead loss, even though the cow account alone just breaks even, or worse. Any changes Indicated, if made, should be brought about gradually and the effects noted in their relation to all other farm ac tivities. There Is nothing like a set of rec ords as a means of analyzing a farm business. To use such records, how ever, the fundamental principles must be understood and complied w ith; their limitations as well as their use fulness must be grasped. When this is done the accounts w ill become a strong staff and support. PREVENT EROSION OF LANDS Effective W ay to Prevent Trouble Is to Build Terraces—Lay Out With Farm Level.

MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 18, 1918. »NUMBER 23 The m em orial services a t the Cool- eeinee Baptist church Sunday, Dec. I, in memory of Charlie Jordan was largely attended It revealed the fact th at the people held Charlie in mind as a boy th at was worthy of all the honor th at the people of Coolee- mee could pay him . H e was large ly raised- in Cooleemee and those who knew him best speak in high praise of him. He was a m em ber of the B aptist church and a live wire in the Sunday school work. He always took an active p art in all the contests th at cam e up. One tim e he was given a Bible by his teacher for not m issing a Sunday in a year. At another tim e he was given a Tes tam ent for bringing the m ost new students in a year. The Baraca class m arched in a body into the church and sat in a body during the service T I Caudell made, a splen did talk on his early life in Sunday school. He also showed the little Testament th at was found in his pocket after he was killed. It show ed that it had been w et w ith the water in the trenches or it m ight have been w ith his own life’s blood when he fell while fighting the. bat tle that won the w ar. Then Mrs. A. D. W alter's sang “Some Day the Silvery Cord Will Break. A letter was read by Mrs. Lucille Caudell from Mrs. P atty Moore, who was Charlie’s teacher for a num ber of years. This was a quiet tim e as the Ieter1Was read m any eyes being m ade to shed the tear of svmpathy. H . E. Barnes, teacher of the Baraca class, spoke in high term s of th e deceased. H e said that he had known him for several years and th at he had proven him self to be a boy w ith a high char acter. The pastor m ade a short talk in which he said th at the heroes of to day are not thosp;jn s n th a t sit,an. ou Fcapitai and m ake our laws but the boy or mkn th at gives his life to save a country like this. They are the heroes of the day. H e said that before he left Cooleemee he wanted to see a nice m onum ent standing in Cooleemee in H onor of Cbnrlie Jo r dan and all the boys tb at died on the firjng line. H e asked all th at would be glad to see it to hold up their hands and every hand in the large congregation was raised and w e do not w ant a penny from any old slack- er. To the father and m other ‘we say weep not, Charlie died th at out great country m ight be free. H e died like a man and the world will honor him and we will miss him in our homes, church and Sunday school but a few m ore days of toil . here and we will join him in ' the better land. W. L BARRS. The following is a copy of a letter received from an A ustralian soldier who sent Charlie’s T estam ent home Faq., France. Dear Sir or Madam: I here enclose - a New Testam ent belonging to the late b, F. Jordan, who fell while advancing on the en emy positions beyond Bellicourt near G arbet Farm . The fighting was very hard and the Am erican broth ers and we A ustralians w ere up against trem endous m achine gun fire by which it looked as if-the brave soldier was felled. W e gained our objectives and inflicted heavy casu alties on the Huns which are" now badly beaten. I can’t, speak too highly for the deceased am ong our brave Am erican brothers in arm s.

Paris.—Presideat W ilson spent his first Sunday in Paris by going twice to church, laying a wreath on the tomb of LaFayette and having a brief con ference with Premier Clemenceau and another with Col. F. M. House. In the evening he rested in preparation for the coming strenuous week of prelim inary conferences. During the afternoon the President made a short call on President and Madame Poincare at the palace of the Elysee. In the morning, the President, ac companied by Mrs. W ilson and Ad miral Grayson and by secret service men, went to the American Presbyte rian church in the Rue De Berri. His coming was known to only a few of the American colony who had guessed that the President, being a consistent churchgoer, would choose a church of his own denomination. The President visited the tomb of LaFayette in the Picpus cemetery, in the southeastern section of Paris, while returning home after the morn ing church service. No ceremony had been arranged at the cemetery and the President was accompanied only by Brigadier General Harts, a secret service operative, and a French officer assigned to him as a personal aide. The President, removing his hat, en tered the tomb carrying a large floral wreath. As the ‘President placed the wreath on the tomb, he bowed his head and stood silent before the resting place of the famous Frenchman who helped America in her fight for liberty. He made no speech whatsoever. He then returned to the Murat residence.

Brest.—^President W ilson landed in Grance amid a demonstration of popu lar enthusiasm and national sympathy such as rarely, if ever, has been ac corded' the head of a foreign govern ment visiting France. The phesident left Brest at 4 o’clock for. Paris where the heart of France will acclaim him as the nation's guest. The guest landing of the president has not only a remarkable spectacle, with a notable naval pageant for its background, -but it also marked the first -:6 jrtry,- of can - American !.president into personal contact with Europe and its affairs. Vast crowds watched the txip ashore and the fleets of warships roared a. salute as the last stage of the journey was accomplished. On the harbor boat going ashore the predident was seen standing on the upper deck with Jules J. Jusser- and, French ambassador to the United States. As the boat touched the pier the iFrench and American guards of honor presented ’arms and the strains of the Star Spangled Banner mingled with the cheers of the great multi tude. Mrs. W ilson came up the gang plank with General Pershing. She car ried a large bouquet and as she passed the American army nurses they hand ed her an American flag which she bore proudly. The president was the last to come ashore, amid great applause. ’ He held his silk hat in his hand; his face was wreathed with sm iles and he bowed his acknowledgments to those about and to the m asses of people on the ris ing walls and terraces of the city. Ste phen Pichon, the French foreign min ister and George Leygues, minister of mariner joined the president as he step ped ashore and conducted him to a beautifully decorated pavilion.

Philadelphia.—Railroad executives representing 125 roads and 92 per cent of the mileage of the country gave out a formal statement in which they de clared that Director General McAdoo’s suggestion that the government retain control of the railroads until January; 1924, “would simply lead to delay and confusion, demoralization of the or ganization of the roads both on their corporate and operating side, and de fer indefinitely a satisfactory settle ment” of the railroad problem. "T he executives; the statement said, have reached the conclusion, that "there is sufficient time under the term of the present act to fully con sider the railroad situation in all its aspects and arrive at a plan that- would be just to the fcountry.” The statement was given out by Tlipmas DeWitt Cuyler, of the asso ciation of railway executives. The statement follows: “The standing committee of the as sociation of railway executives have considered the letter of the director general to the chairman of the inter state commerce committees of the senate and house,-and have reached the conclusion that there is sufficient time under the terms of the present act to fully consider the railroad situ ation in all its aspects and to arrive at a plan that would be just to the country as represented by its shippers and the public at large and on the other hand to the security holders and shareholders and employes of the rail roads. BIELD UDGES TDKMSl MUST TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF AFTER-THE-WAR TRADE OPPORTUNITIES. FOR PUBUGDWNED W1TERWAYS Our Merchandise Export Trade In Last Fiscal Year Was $5,928^85,641; Imports Cf $2,946,059,403. Washington.—Expansion of the bu reau of foreign and domestic com merce to' enable it to give effective aid to American manufacturers and merchants in taking full advantage of after-the-war world trade opportu nities is the chief recommendation of Secretary Bedfield In his annual re port. The secretary also reiterates his ap proval of the proposed development of a government-owned intracoastal wa terway to link up the lakes to the coast-and d«Wn the-Attenticwea board. Dealing -with post-war trade and the part the bureau of foreign and domes tic commerce can play, the report em phasizes especially the need for ad ditional commercial attaches and trade commissioners. The balance of trade in favor of the United States for the fiscal year 1918 was $2,982,222,238a the total of the merchand’se export trade was $5,928,285,641 and of the import trade $2,946,059,403. “Measured by the economic needs of the country and by the grave re sponsibilities of post-war competi tion,” the report says, “the bureau should be expanded substantially in every branch of service.” IMLSON DOT TD SIT NI PEACE TABLE BELIEVED THAT CLEMENCEAU WILL BE MADE PRESIDENT OF THE CONFERENCE. SURRENDERED SHIPS NEVER AGAIN'TC FLY GERMAN FLAG SESSIONS WILL RE PUBLIG Some Little Secrecy Must Be Main tained As is Always the Custom in Large Deliberative Bodies. On Board U. S. S. George Washing ton.—President Wilson probably will not sit at the peace table but will be represented -here by delegates while remaining in close contact with the heads of the other nations and prepar ed to decide questions referred to him. Premier Clemenceau, it is believed, will be president of the peace confer ence. This is considered fitting be cause the conference will be held In France. President Wilson’s disposition is in favor of entirely public proceedings, such as are carried on in the senate chamber at Washington, with the press representatives given every fa cility to report certain business. Nat urally there will be need of secrecy, as there is in the foreign relations committee, but the President’s idea is that the procedure could be much the same as at Washington, a committee considering the confidential and deli cate features of various questions, and then reporting back to the peace con gress for action.

Washington.—Neither the end Cf hostilities nor proposals for a league of nations has altered the policy of the general board of the navy in re gard to making the American navy second to none in the world. Bear Admiral Charles J. Badger, chairman of the executive committee of the board, told the house naval affairs committee that the navy should be equal to that of any other nation by 1925 and urged that sufficient appro priations to make this possible be made by Congress. “The general board believes that under the present world conditions and the conditions likely to obtain in the future,” Admiral Badger said, "the United States navy should stead ily continue to increase. “Navies must be the principal sup port of a league of nations, and the United States, from its wealth, influ ence and power, will be called upon to contribute, a /large,.share-of the .in ternational police force to render such a’ league effective.” London.—Archibald S. Hurd, the na val writer, in The Daily Telegraph j says with reference „to the idea said to be held by som e Germans that the surrendered German warships' would be returned to Germany after peace was signed, that it points, of course, : to a complete misapprehension of the j intentions of the allies, “for it is cer- I tain that these ships will never again ’. fly the German ensign.” j Mr. Hurd says -that the only course to adopt is to distribute the German warships among the allies in accord- ( ance with the losses which they have suffered. Mr. Hurd suggests that Ger man submarines be broken up and the parts used for other purposes.

Ghristiania. — In shipping circles there is growing uneasiness in regard to America’s position on the part of Norwegian ’owners whose ships were reuisltioned August 3 of last year, but who still are unable to obtain a set tlement. Their properties are with held and used by the Americans with out any remuneration to the owners. The question has been discussed, In a leader In The Sjoefartstidende, which stated the percentage of ton nage lost -by Norway was- greater than that of any other merehantile fleet in the world, while the total Ios of lives was about 5 per cent of all Norwegian seamen. After the services of Nor wegian ships to the cause of the al lies, it is not In order to boast. The fact is put at its face value. Because American confiscation deprives Nor way of the restoration of ships lost In the service of the allies, the journal reminds. Norwegian owners thereby are compelled to order new ships in England. “But our American friends, says this journal, have as yet refused to pay us the money we wanted in pay ment for these new ships. The Amer icans are straining the patience of their Norwegian friends seriously.” CABLE COMPANY STRIVING TO SECURE INJUNCTION SAYS GREAT BRITAJfl AND AMERICA CAN NOW AGREE New Y ork--That the Unitedj States and Great Britain could agree to a universal' arbitration -treaty which would m&ke war between the two nations impossible tor all tim e is the opinion expressed by Theodore Roosevelt in a letter made pulblic here to George Haven Putnam, president of the American Rights legaue. *T am now prepared to say what five years ago I would not have said," the former president wrote. “I think The tim e has- cHnh when the.

Railroad Commission Files Brief. The North Caroiina corporation commission has filed before the inter state commerce commission a brief opposing the -project of consolidation classification and declaring that in creased rates predicted upon this clas sification should not be made. Touching the disturbance of North Carolina rates, the commission says that waiving questions of jurisdiction, there can be no finding on the testi mony presented “without doing vio lence to the principles of rate construc tions that have found unanimous ap proval of all the courts of the land.” And finally, declaring the. people of the state met all demands -which war and patriotism made upon them and avoided conflicts of authority by sirb- Inergingi their, rights Undj privileges guaranteed to them by constitutional reservation, with the return of peace the challenge shifts and patriotism calls for a wholesome respect for the constitutional privileges and guaran tees by all public officials, federal and state.

Graham made a striking summary of crop developments in North Carolina' In his report to the state board of ag riculture. It showed that the North Carolina corn crop developed, since 1910, from 34,000,000 bushels to 63,000,- 000 bushels; the wheat crop from 7,- 500,000 bushels to 13,000,000; oats from 3,500,000 bushels to 7,000.000; hay from 176,00 tons to 740,000 tons, and an increase of nearly 100 000 •bales of cotton production.

Average crop production per acre in the state is: corn, 21 bushels; wheaL 12 bushels; Oats, 15 bushels, rye, 10 bushels; potatoes, 85 bushels, ground peas, 38 bushels and hay I 3 tons. Request for Information. ■ The war labor board, of the depart ment of labor, wired Governor Bickett urging his attention to the nece-sity of developing public works during the period of demobilization. H e has been asked to bring or send-to the confer ence of governors at Annapolis, De cember 16, information concerning all public developments in Charlotte, Ra leigh, .'Wilmington, Winston-Salem, Asheville and other municipalities and counties, as well as state projects, so that a definite policy may be worked out for expanding or contracting for public works to m eet the changing conditions of labor supply during the readjustment period from war to peace. Governor Bickctt is asked to do all that he can to help keep men at work, ■while the soldier boys are being let back into the civil pursuits. Mrs. Daniels on Suffrage. The suffragists have begun their campaign to put through the Susan B. Anthony amendment, to remove from the ballot the qualification of sex, if the senate does not adopt the pending resolution before March J3. They have planned a vigorous effort to shove the measure over be fore the present Congress expires, but they have an uphill road for the lead ers of the senate have lost patience with them. Senators Martin and Simmons, who have charge of the rev enue and appropriation bills, will not permit' their measures to be delayed for woman suffrage, when they are not in sympathy with it At a suffrage meeting, held at the National theater, Mrs. McAdoo, wife of Secretary McAdoo and daughter of President W ilson, and Mrs. Daniels, wife of Secretary Daniels, spoke for votes for women. Enter Vigorous Protest. The North Carolina corporation commission will, on Monday, file with the interstate commerce commission a printed brief in opposition to the proposed nation-wide uniform sched ule of freight rates proposed by the federal railway control authorities that threaten to deprive this state of all concessions and special commodity rates that now maka it possible for North Carolina jobbers and other ship pers' to compete to some extent with Virginia cities, and other out-of-the- state points, In trade with retailers in North Carolina. The commission’s brief is a voluminous document, that deals exhaustively with the whole sub ject and sets up a vigorous justifica tion for the North Carolina rates inter and intra-state. Military Training Probable. That some form of voluntary train ing will continue at the University of North Carolina after the Christmas holidays seems practicaliy assured. A reserve officers’ training corps will ■probably be established here. Only a hundred men to volunteer for the •training are necessary to secure’ gov ernment recognition and aid. Other w ise ,the course will probably be given by the University alone, as the non-S. N. T. C. course is being Con ducted this fall and as military train ing was carried on all U st year. Returns to State’s Employ. Mr. Dan T. Gray, chief of the ani mal industry division of the experi m ent station and extension service, has returned from W ashington to con tinue his duties as active head of the live stock work in North Carolina. Mr. Gray went to W ashington June 1st of this year, at the earnest request of government authorities, for the pur pose of consolidating and unifying live stock work in the South as a war measure. W hile with the federal de partment of agriculture, he succeeded in putting through several co-opera tive arrangements needed for stimu lating the production of meat and fats. The executive ability displayed dur ing his period of service in North Car olina was shown to good advantage in his war-time activities, and, now. that the war is practically over, he has been relieved to resume his work in this state. State Poultry Show. The North Carolina Poultry Breed ers’ Association will hold its annual exhibit of poultry and pet stock in Charlotte, N. C., January 7-10, 1919, in •connection with the annual show of ■the Charlotte Poultry Association and the Mecklenburg Poultry Club. . This combination exhibit of thor oughbred poultry will no doubt be the largest ever held in this state, as in addition to the hundreds of entries that will be made by North Carolina fanciers, a large number of entries are expected from other states. Wilmington Loses Out. . Secretary of War Newton D. Baker in a letter to Senator Lee S. Overman declined the Invitation to designate Wilmington, N. C., as a debarkation port for the discharge of negro sol diers. He stated that instructions had already been issued as to the methods .of disbanding certain class of troops. The secretary' regretfully indicated that owing to the policy of the war department to limit debarkation ports to a minimum Wilmington would dot likely be selected among the mimhee STRASSBURG, OCCUPIED BY THE FRENCH UNDER MANGIN Strassburg. the capital of Alsace, which was occupied by the French under General Mungin.

AUSTRIAN NAVAL BASE DEMOLISHED # - Illinois S ailor D escribes F e a t of A m erican, B ritish an d Ital ian Fleet. , ALLIES HAVE NO CASUALTIES Mighty Base at Durazzo Is Laid In Ruins, Several Warships and at Least Four Submarines Are Destroyed. Waukegan, 111.—How the American, ItaIlah and British sailors destroyed Ehe enemy fleet and reduced Dnrnzzo, Albania, the mighty Austrian naval base, to ruins, is graphically told In an uncensored letter by George Mlltl- more of Waukegan, stationed on a United States submarine chaser, in a letter to Thomas H. McCann, as fol lows : “We are just returning from an at tack we made on an Austrian port. American submarine chasers co-oper ated with allied marines In destroy ing a strong Austrian submarine reu- dizlon and port of disembarkation. We left our base last week and put into an Italian port. “A few days later we shoved off for Dur,azzo, an Albanian town captured early in the war by the AustrIans and turned Into an Austrian submarine base and port of disembarkation for Austrian troops on their way to the Macedonian front. “We maneuvered over the fortifica tions for about an hour when the English light cruisers and destroyers and torpedo boats, with the Italian battleship, destroyers and torpedo boats and English and French sub marines appeared on the horizon, bearing down on us at full speed. Our ship had the exceptional honor of being flagship of the squadron, which represented Uncle Sam in the scrap. “We were assigned to submarine and torpedo defense for the other ships, and were the first ship in line HONORED BY FRENCH fei&mtiiioi In being awarded the Croix de Guerre and n commission as a lieuten ant In the French army, Dr. Anna I. Stfoily has won a distinction extend ed only to two other women, both of them her associates! ‘A graduate of the medical department of Cornell uni versity, Doctor ShOlly volunteered for surgical work at the outbreak of the War. and the first to draw fire from the land batteries. We were from two to three thousand yards nearer the beach than the other ships, and the shells began dropping all around us and whizzing just' over our aerial. “One broadside from a battleship si lenced the shore battery just about the time they had our range. Our bombardment started at noon and lasted about an hour and a half. The Austrian submarines came out and were immediately attacked by our fast chasers. "In one attack, as a submarine came up for a sight, the second shot from a chaser cut his periscope clean off. “After a short run, dropping light depth charges on it, we blew the sub marine clear out of the water. “Another chaser pounced on an other submarine as it was about to discharge a torpedo, into the fleet of warships and a few more ash cans (depth charges) sent one more Hun pirate and its crew on Its final sub mergence. Still another unit of chas ers saved at least two first-class de stroyers from mines by cutting In across their bow and sinking mines by gunfire which lay dead ahead In the destroyer’s course. At times during the bombardment, when we would be in a certain position as a broadside was being delivered, the concussion would be great enough to roll our light craft as though In a heavy sea. . When the bombardment was finished, the whole allied fleet steamed back to open sea,' while the United States chasers remained and kept up the defense until it. was ob vious no more submarines were forth coming. “We soon got into formation and under full speed headed out to sea and picked up the main fleet. The town of Durazzo was bombed by planes from 5 a. m. every half hour until after we finished. The results were as follow s: One big Austrian transport sunk and two large supply ships; one large Austrian destroyer aiid one torpedo- boat; at least four submarines sunk and one Austrian plane brought down. Our whole fleet returned Intact, with ho casualties, and Durazzo Is no more. “We Intercepted an Austrian hos pital ship and sent a boarding party aboard and found 200 Austrian sol diers aboard who were wounded dur ing the early bombardment “It appears that some were just leaving the transport and others were stationed in the town when • they «met their fate. There were a number of nurses aboard and when they saw the United States chasers they rushed) to the rail to wave to the American gobs.’’ “We turded the ship free afterward and let it proceed back to the, Aus- trians, even though the crew and nurses- seemed quite pleased at being made prisoners by the Americans, “This scheme was brought nbout mainly through the efforts of our cap tain and commander in charge of this fleet. H e is a real American scrapper and has enough reserve. American “pep” to supply the whole allied fleets here. H e Is ah old United States navy man and hero of the Spanish-Amerl- can war.” VETERAN MARINE ALTHOUGH BUT 1 8 a~- Youth W ho Fought a t C h ateau - T hierry Will E nter N aval A cadem y. ENLISTED WHEN ONLY 16 Carried His Full Burden of Campaign and Actual Combat While He Was 17—More Veterans Will . Probably Be Named. Annapolis, Md.—A youth who was In the very thick of the fighting around Chateau-Thlerry and Belleau Wood nnd passed a full year abroad as a United States marine has obtained an appointment for the naval - academy and is in Annapolis preparing for his entrance examinations next spring. H e Is Arthur C. Heller, son of C. Arthur Heller, an attorney of New ark, N. J., and is now a student at a navnl preparatory school here. Toung Heller is a most modest youth’ and declines to say anything about his exploits. H e wishes only to pass his examinations for the acad emy and to enter as any other youth, working hard' for advancement through the different classes, and finally to win a commission in the navy. H e was loath to accept the appointment, which was obtained without solicita tion on his part, as he wished to stqy abroad until the end of the war. He was with the very first troops that went to France with Pershing. He was .cited In the debates in con gress upon the question of lowering the draft age as an example of what a very young "man could accomplish, for HeUer enlisted in the marine corps when he-was only sixteen and has just reached eighteen. Consequently he carried his full burden of campaign and actual combat while he was seven teen. It wns argued from his case that the best kind of fighting could be done by American youths between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one. ‘ Heller will try for the academy by virtue of a regular congressional ap pointm ent There are quite a number of other service men In'Annapolis also preparing for the entrance examina tions next spring, young mon who have been In army training camps and oth ers from various branches of the naval service. They have been given fur loughs In order to prepare for the naval academy. More Veterans to Be Named. So far as is known none but Heller has had actual battle experience, but doubtless there will be a number of others before the nfext class is formed. These will come from two sources. Members of congress will take this op portunity of rewarding worthy youths of their own district who have done creditable work In the service, and are still of the right age. Undoubtedly Secretary Daniels will be able to designate the full quota of a hundred youths from the enlisted-personnel of the navy and marine corps, which the Inw permits to enter each new class at the academy. This year, though the law has been In effect only_a little over a year, more than fifty were designated by the secretary. It was said that one rea son why the quota wns not full wns that many of the young men In the service refused to leave active duty while there w as a chance of meeting Germany either on land or sea. Many of these spirited fellows will he desig nated for the next class. Many well-educated youths entered the navy and marine corps for the pur pose of getting into the thick of it, and are still of the proper age, that Is, be low twenty.

H e was not aroused untn an hour had passed by. Tv.o men took the chairs just beyond him. “That settles Santa Claus!” sooke one of them. “Much of a blaze?” “Enough to burn to ashes the Santa outfit the store had ordered from the city.” e “W e must rig up a home-made Kriss Kringle, then’. There’s no time to lose, either. Those little ones will be on hand at the hall In tw o hours." The sad face of their listening neigh bor lit up with'responsive sentiment. “Excuse me, gentlemen,” he spoke, “but do I understand that you are look ing for a Santa Claus?” “That’s it,” nodded the man nearest to him. “I’d like the job. I’d enjoy the jol lity. I am the Humpty Dumpty ot a stranded company, homeward bound. In my wardrobe, I am sure, I have a very notable Kriss Kiingle disguise.” Thus it was that Robert Merrill, ex circus clown and famous Humpty Dumpty, set juvenile Belleville wild with delight that memorable Christ mas eve. “You have won all hrarts,” enthused Mr. Arnold Drew to the great star of the occasion: “You have gloriously saved the day. Of conrse you will be m y guest.” Robert Merrill hesitated. Then he glanced at four little happy-faced chil dren in the Drew automobile. “Per haps I can make up a Christmas spe cial for those cherubs,” he said. For two hours at the Drew home Robert Merrill fascinated the little ones. H e exercised the best that was in him of grimace ard contortion to set them wild with delight. They were singing a carol at the piano when Mr. Drew beckoned, led him into a small room and proceeded to a closet. “W e have a jewel of a governess for the children and this is her sewing room,” he said, going to a cabinet. “This m ay be acceptable after your arduous exercise,” and he set a decan ter and a glass on the table. H e w as almost startled at the sud den change that came over his guest. Robert Merrill’s features grew stern. “I warft to shOw you something.” he said, and bared one arm. Across its surface was revealed a date. “Tea years back—you note it? The circus tattoo man did that. It commemorat ed the day w hen-I r-mlized that my reckless way had brought me to pov erty, had' cost me a loving wife and two little cherubs. Ten years—twenty — a lifetime, still will I seek them the world over to atone for my cruel neg lect!” “You brave, true man!” cried Ar nold Drew sbamedly, and swept the table clear and went back to the room where the children were, leaving his guest to recover his composure. “Show m e!” Robert Merrill started with a thrill. f H e turned to confront n sweet, patient faced woman, whose eyes were fixed upon the tattoo chronicle as though fascinated. “It is true?” she whispered, and tottered, and he caught her in bis arms, and the joy 01' his own soul seemed imparted to that of the lost one found—his w ife! “A t last!” his tones vibrated. “Too believe? You forgive? Our little ones? “Safe In the care of kind friends. I have toiled for them a a gladly, think ing you dead. My husband, you box® redeemed all those bitter, cruel years.

I sax once because I never did It again. When I got through owning that melon I never wanted another. The time was 1831; I was a boy of seven and the melon w as the first of all my harvests. I didn’t know much about myself those days except the fact that my name was Bart Baynes and, further, ihat I was an orphan who owned a watermelon and a little spotted hen and lived sn Rattleroad In a neighbor hood called Lickitys’plit. I lived with my Aunt Deel and my Uncle Peabody Baynes on a farm. They were brother and sister—he about thirty-eight and she a little beyond the far-distant goal of forty. My father and mother died in a scourge of diphtheria that swept the neighborhood when I was a boy of five. A few days after I arrived in the home of my aunt and uncle I slyly en tered the parlor and climbed the what not to examine some white flowers on its top shelf and Upped the whole thing over, scattering Its burden of albums, wax flowers and seashells on the floor. My aunt came running on her tiptoes and exclaimed: “Mercy! Come right, out o’ here this minute— you pest!” T took some rather long steps going out, which were due to the fact that Aunt Deel had hold of my hand. W hile I sat weeping she went back into-the Parlor and began to pick up things. “My wreath! my wreath!” I heard her moaning. How well I remember that little as semblage of flower ghosts in wax! Tiiey had no more right to associate with human beings than the ghosts of fable. Uncle Peabody used to call them the 'iMinervy flowers”- because ihey were a present from his Aunt Minerva. When Auntl Deel returned to the kitchen where I sat—a sorrow ing little refugee hunched up in a cor- ow—she said: ‘T il have to tell your Cu--Ie Peabody—ayes!” “Oh please don't tell my Uncle Pea- Lofly," I wailed. “Ayes! I’ll ,have to tell him,” she Soswtred firmly. For the first time I looked for him with dread at the window and when he came I hid in a closet and heard that solemn and penetrating note in her voice as she said: “I guess you’ll have to take that boy away—ayes!” ' “What now?” he asked. “M y.stars! he sneaked into the par lor and tipped over the what-not and smashed that, beautiful wax w reath!” “Jerusalem • four-corners!” he ex claimed. 'TH have To—” H e stopped as he was wont to do on the threshold of strong opinions and momentous resolutions. The rest of the conversation was drowned in my own cries and Uncle Peabody came and lifted me tenderly and carried me upstairs. H e sat down with me on his lap and hushed my cries. Then he said very gently: “Now, Bub, you and me have got to be careful. What-nots and albums and wax flowers and haircloth sofys are the most dang’rous critters in St. Lawrence county. They’re purty sav age. Keep your eye peeled. You can’t tell what minute they’ll jump on ye. More boys have been dragged.away and tore to pieces by ’em than by all the bears and panthers in the woods. Keep out o’ that old parlor. • Ye might as well go into a cage o’ wolves. How be I goin’ to make ye remember, it?” “I don’t know,” I whimpered and be gan to cry out In fearful anticipation. H e set me In a chair, picked up one of his old carpet-slippers and began to thump the bed with it. He belabored the bed with tremendous vigor. Mean while he looked at me and exclaimed: “You dreadful child!” I knew that my sins were responsi ble for this violence. It frightened me and my cries increased. The door at the bottom of the stairs opened suddenly. Aunt Deel called: “Don’t lose your temper, Peabody. I think you’ve gone fur ’nough—ayes!” Uncle Peabody stopped and blew as if he were very tired and then I caught a look in his face that reassured me. H e called back to her: .“I wouldn’t ’a’ cared so much if it hadn’t ’a’ been n i \ m He Belabored the Bed With Tremen dous Vigor, Exclaiming "You Dread ful Child!" the what-not and them Mlnervy flow ers. When a boy tips over a what-not he’s goin’ it purty strong.” “Weil, don’t be too severe. You’d better come now and git me a pail o’ water—ayes, I think ye had.” Uncle Peabody did a lot of sneezing and coughing with his big, red hand kerchief over his face and I was not old enough then to understand it. H e kissed me and took my little hand in his big hard one and led me down the stairs. I dreamed that night that a long-leg ged what-not, with a wax wreath in its hands, chased me around the house and caught and bit me on the neck. I called for help and uncle came and found me on the floor and put me back in bed again. For a long tim e I thought that the way a man punished a boy was by thumping his bed. I knew that women had a-different and less satisfactory method, for I remembered that my mother had spanked me and" Aunt Deel had a way of giving my hands and head a kind of watermelon thump with the middle finger of her right hand and with a curious look in her eyes. Uncle Peabody used to cadi it a “snaptious look.” Almost always he whacked the bed with his slipper. There were ex ceptions, however, and, by and by, I came to know in ’each case the desti nation of the slipper, for if I had done anything which really afflicted my con science that strip of leather seemed to know the truth, and found its way to my 'person. , - Autit Deel toiled incessantly. . She washed and scrubbed and polished and duated arid sewed arid knit from morn ing until night She lived- In mortal fear that company would come and find her unprepared—Alma Jones or Jabez Lincoln and his wife, or Ben and Mary Humphries, or “Mr. and Mi’s. Horace Dunkelberg.” These were the people of whom she talked when the neighbors came in and when she was not talking of . the Bayneses. I observed that she always said “Mr. and. Mrs. Horace Dunkelberg." They were the conversational ornaments of our home. “As Mrs. Horace Dunkelberg says,” or, “as I said to Mr. Horace Dunkelberg,” were phrases calculated to. establish our social standing. I supposed that the world was peopled by Joneses, Lin colns, Humphries and Dunkelbergs, but mostly by Dunkelbergs. These lat ter were very rich people who lived In Canton village. I know, now, how dearly Aiint Deel loved her brother and me. I must have been a great trial to that woman of forty unused to the pranks of chil dren and the tender offices of a moth er. Naturally I turned from her to my Uncle Peabody as a refuge and a help in time of trouble, with increasing fondness. H e had no knitting or sew ing to do and when Uncle Peabody sat In the house he gave all his time to me and we weathered many a storm together as w e sat silently in his fa vorite comer, of an evening, when I alwnys went to sleep in his arms. I was seven years old when Uncle Peabody gave me the watermelon seeds. I put one of them in my mouth and bit it. “It appears to me there’s an awful draft blowin’ down your throat,” said Uncle Peabody. “You ain’t no busi ness eatin’ a melon seed.” “Why?” was my query. " ’Cause it was made to put In the ground. Didn’t you know it was alive?” "Alive I” I exclaimed. “Alive,” said he. “I’ll show ye.” H e put a number of the seeds In the ground and covered them, and said that part of the garden should be mine. I watched it every day and by and by two vines came up. One sickened and died in dry weather. Un cle Peabody said that I must water the other every day. I did it faith fully and the vine throve. It was hard work, I thought, to go down into the garden, night and morn ing, with my little pail full of water, but uncle said that I should get my pay when the melon was ripe. I had also to keep the wood-box full and feed the chickens. They were odious tasks. When I asked Aunt Deel what I should get for doing them 6he an swered quickly: “Nospanks and bread and butte*— ayes!” When I asked what were “nospanks” she told me that they were part of the wages of a good child. I was better paid for my care of the water melon vine, for its growth was mea sured with a stftng every day and kept m e interested. One morning I found five blossoms on it. I picked one and carried it to Aunt Deel. Another I destroyed in the tragedy of catching a bumblebee which had crawled into its cup. In due time three small mel ons appeared. When they were as -bjg as a baseball I picked two of them. One I tasted and threw away as I ran to the pump for relief. The other I hurled at a dog on my way to school. So that last melon on the vine had my undivided affection. It grew in size and reputation, and 60 on I learned that a reputation is about the worst thing that a watermelon can acquire while it is on the vine. I in vited everybody that came to the house to go and see my watermelon. They looked it-’ over and said pleas ant things about it. When I was a boy people used to treat children and watermelons with a like solicitude. Both were a subject fot jests and produced similar reactions in the hu man countenance. A t last Uncle Peabody agreed with me that it was about time to pick the melon. I decided to pick it immediate ly after meeting on Sunday, so that I could give it to my aunt and uncle at dinner-time. When we got home I ran for the garden. My feet and those of our friends and neighbors had literally worn a path to the mel on. In eager haste I got my little wheelbarrow and ran with it to the end of that path. 'There I found nothing but broken vines! The melon had vanished. I ran back to the house almost overcome by. a feeling of alarm, for I had thought long of that hour of pride when I should bring the melon and present it to my aunt and uncle. “Uncle Peabody,” I shouted, “my melon is gone.” ' “Well, I van!” said he, “somebody must ’a’ stole it.” “But it was m y melon,” I ‘said with a trembling voice.- “ Yes, and I vum it’s too bad! But, Bart, you ain’t learned yit that there are wicked people in the world who come and take what don’t belong to ’em.” There were tears In my eyes when I asked: i ' “They’ll bring it back," won’t,they?” I “Never!” said Uncle Peabody, 'Tm afraid they’ve, et it up.” H e had no sooner said it than a cry broke from my lips, and I sank down upon the grass moaning . and sobbing. I lay amidst the ruins of the simple faith of childhood. It was as if the world and all Its joys had come to an end. Aunt Deel spoke in a low, kindly tone and came and lifted me to my. feet very tenderly. . "Come, Bart, don’t feel so about that old melon,’’ said she, “it ain’t worth it. Come with me. Tm going to give you a present—ayes I be!” I was still crying when she took me to her trunk, and offered the grateful assuagement of candy and a belt, all embroidered with blue and white beads. “Now you see, Bart, how low and mean anybody is that takes what don’t belong' to ’em—ayes! They’re snakes! Everybody hates ’em an’ stamps on -’em when they come In sight—ayes I" The. abomination of the Lord was In her look-add manner. How it shook my soul! H e who.had taken the watermelon had also taken from me something I was never to have again, and a very wonderful thing it was—faith in the goodness of men. My eyes had- seen evil. The world had committed its first offense against me and my spirit was no longer the white and beautiful thing it had been. Still, therein is the beginning of wis dom and, looking down the long vhita of the years, I thank God for the great harvest of the lost watermelon. Better things hnd come In It’s place— understanding and what more, often I have vainly tried to estimate. For one thing that sudden revelation of the heart of childhood had lifted my aunt’s out of the cold storage of a puritanic spirit, and warmed it into new life and opened its door for me. In the afternoon she sent me over to Wills’ to horrow a little tea. I stopped for "a few minutes to play with Henry Wills—a boy not quite a year older than L W hile playing there I discovered a piece of the rind of my melon in the dooryard. On that piece of rind I saw the cross which I had made one day with my thumb-nail. It was intended to in dicate that the melon was solely and wholly mine. I felt a flush of anger. "I hate you,” I said as I approached him. “I hate you,” he answered. “You’re a snake!” I said W e now stood, face to' fa ce' and breast to breast, like a pair of young roosters. H e gave me a shove and told me to go home. I gave him a shove and told him I wouldn’t. I pushed up close to him again and w e glared into each other’s eyes. Suddenly he spat in my face. I gave him a scratch on the forehead with my finger-nails. Then w e fell upon each other and rolled on the ground and hit and scratched with feline ferocity. Mrs. W ills ran out of the house and parted us. Our blood was hot, and leaking through the skin of our faces a little. “H e pitched on me,” Henry ex plained. I couldn’t speak. “Go right home—this minute—you brat!” said Mrs. W illis in anger. “Here’s your tea. Don’t you ever come here again.” . I took the tea and started down the road weeping. What a bitter day that was for m e! I dreaded to face my aunt and uncle. Coming through the grove down by our gate I met Uncle Peabody. With the keen in sight of the father of the prodigal son he. had seen me coming “a long way off” and shouted: “Well, here ye be—I was kind o’ worried, Bub.” Then his eye caught the look of de jection in my gait and figure. H e hur ried toward me. H e stopped as I came sobbing to his feet. “Why, what’s the matter?” he asked gently, as he took the tea cup from my hand, and sat down upon his heels. USES BANK BILLS - FOR BOOK MARKS H eirs Find Snug Savings Tucked Away, F orgotten by O wner. Toronto, Can.—Archdeacon Boddy1 for forty years the rector of St. Peter’s church, had so little regard for the value of money that he used bank notes for book-marks, and this habit caused his heirs-at-law a whole lot of worry they might have been spared had the good rector kept his little fortune In the savings bank. Archdeacon Boddy died 13 years ago. After the funeral his relatives made a search to unearth his bank-books, for it was known that he possessed sav ings. But search revealed no sign of a fortune. There was nothing in the house, so far as could be seen, save the scanty furniture and a library of 3,000 books. The relatives of the dead clergyman had decided that he left no cash at all, Barton meets the famous Dunkelbergs, including little golden-haired Sally, whose pret ty face and fine clothes fascinate the boy, whose few years have been spent in quite another world.

REUABLE PRESGRIPTlOIi FOR THE KlBREfS George’s Reason Was Good Enough for Him, as It Was “Some” Fire. Portland, Ore.—George Thompson, "a gentleman of color” lived upstairs over a paintshop. The painter, return ing from lunch, saw George come hastily downstairs, carrying a rocking chair, three pictures, a chiua bowl and a water pitcher. , “ 'Smatter, George?” asked the paint er. “I’se movin’,” replied George, depos iting his belongings on the curb, and returning hastily upstairs. He was down again in a minute with another l.oad of household effects. Tlie painter, mildly curious, asked him where he was moving. “I’se movin’ right inter de street,” answered George, again hastening up stairs. The painter lighted a cigar and awaited the next trip. Presently back, came George, carrying a mattress in one arm and a cot In the other, and still in a hurry. “Why are you moving, George?'* the painter inquired. "I’se movin’ ’cause your shop’s afire,” answered George.' And then the painter moved, too— and with more haste than George.

C. * y \ \ % VVw He Fanner Redres More Than Fire Thousand DoIhrs a Minute From Swift & Company This amount is paid to the farmer for live stock, by Swift & Company alone, during the trading hours of every business day. AU this money is paid to the farmer through Ihe open market in competition with large and small packers, shippers, speculators and dealers. \ I The farmer, feeder, or shipper receives every cent of this money ($300,000 an hour, nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock' he has just sold is weighed up. Some of the money paid to the farmer dur ing a single day comes back to the company in a month from sale of products; much does not come back for sixty or ninety days or more. But the next day Swift & Company, to meet the demands made by its customers, must pay out another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously tied up in goods on the way to market andtin bills owed to the company. This gives an idea of the volume of the Swift & Company business and the requirements of financing it. Only by doing a large business can this company turn live stock into meat and by-products at the lowest possible cost, prevent waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to retailers in all parts of the country — and be recompensed with a profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound—a profit too small to have any noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.

POULTRY AND EGGS SUPPLY Badly Needed to Help Feed the World — Nothing Else Costs So Little to Raise on Farm. ■ (By P. G. HOLDEN.) The high price of feed and the high price of poultry have combined In causing farmers to greatly reduce- their fiocks, and as a result we are facing a ,,serious shortage In poultry and eggs at a time when they are bad ly needed to help feed the world. W e must not forget that while ’feed is high and while poultry brings- good prices, nothing else costs so little to raise on a farm as chickens, and that eggs are ^bringing such high prices we cannot afford to shut off the source of- their supply. Large flocks of poultry are needed on every farm, and every farmer should keep Ws yonng pullets, which will soon be his best layers. Get rid of the roosters. Avoid wasteful meth ods in handling poultry and in mar keting eggs. BLACKHEAD IS BAD DISEASE Oases Are Infrequent Where Birds '• Are • Permitted to Forage for Most of Their F eed .. • Of the infections diseases of tur keys, according to Andrew S. Weiant, of the bureau of animal industry, de partment of agriculture, blackhead is the most destructive. It is n o ta te that whenever the climate and range condltipns are such as to permit of the turkeys foraging for most of their feed from the time they are hatched until they are marketed, cases of blackhead are infrequent. Blackhead occasionally affects grown turkeys, but it mostly occurs among young turkeys between the ages of sis weeks and four months. No positive cure for blackhead has been found. A s in the case of all other infectious diseases, the sick bird should immediately be removed from the flock to prevent a further spread of the disease, and if very sick, it Is best to kill it and burn the body.

This has been especially true o f cotton and potatoes, more potash having been used on tobacco, relatively, than on these two crops." Dr. H. W, BARRE, director o f S. C.

In some cases not mote than half a crop has been produced on light land that is very Jefidenl in potash. The appearance o f the plants indicates that what Is known as potash hunger is responsible for the decreased yield. We are, therefore, recommending .that liberal amounts of potash be used in fertilizers for cotton next year.

Jdoney Has Been Spent.—State’s Honor at Stake. Bven though the war la over and peace will soon be declared, the War Savings Campaign Is to be made a success in North Carolina by raising tts $48,666,380 by December 31. Sec retary McAdoo has said that raising the State's War Savings allotment is the last call ot the Government tor war finances thi« year and should be the people’s m ost immediate duty. He urges the people to redeem their War Savings pledges “by Christmas and to Keep on buying stamps until the State’s entire quota is raised. There are three reasons why North Carolina must raise her War Satdngs allotment this year regardless o* the coming of peace and the end of the war. Ih e first is because the money called for in the War Savings allot m ent has already been spent. Hast Jpne'the people gave the Government their iword that it could depend on them for the purchase of their quota of War Savings Certificates. The Government took their word as therr bond and spent the amount in equip ping the soldiers with needed guns, ammunition and supplies, which act brought the war to a speedier close than would have been possible had this money not been spent. By giv ing their pledge the people not only helped to win the war, earlier than would have been the case otherwise, but saved millions of dollars and thousands of lives. Now the Government comes to the citizens of the State with the request that they make good their word and redeem their War Savings pledges.' As patriotic American citizens they can do nothing less. This is a debt' of honor they will be glad to meet. If for no other reason, they would re deem their pledges in appreciation of the services and sacrifices the boys have made at the front. They would show their gratitude In a more sub stantial way than shouting victory and hurrahing for peace. They would, themselves make some self-denial to show that they are worthy of the sac rifices made by the hoys. Another reason for selling the ■State’s full quota of War Savings Stamps even though the war is over is because the expenses of the war are still going on. The soldiers over there as well as those over here must be fed and clothed for several months to come. As a matter of fact, the 'work of the soldiers over there is not yet done and their expenses, $V$n though an armistice has been reach ed, continue to be enormous.. Not un til every! American soldier is safe again on American soil will the ex penses of the war be over. A third reason for making a sue-' cess of the War Savings Campaign In North Carolina is because the State’s reputation is at stake. Thus far her war record is 100 per cent patriotic. She has made a success of all of her liberty Loans, her Red Cross, her r. M. C. A. and other war measures, and now it remains to her to make a success of her only unfinished war job. The task of the people is to com plete this task and give the State a 100 per cent war record. W ill they do it? North' Carolina never has failed her country, and will not fail this time. Her citizens will be called on to redeem their War Savings pledges and to buy an ad ditional amount necessary to com plete the State’s allotment by Decem ber 31. They.wiU do it. Two conditions in North Carolina assure the State a War Savings vic tory. The first is the unquestioned patriotism of her people, and the sec ond is the great wealth of her citizens. With this combination North Caro lina will rase her entire War Savings quota and make a 100 per cent war record. EIGHT REASONS WHY WAR SAV INGS STAMPS IS BEST INVEST MENT. I There are eight good reasons why money invested in War Savings Stamps in December is the beat in vestment that a person can make. Stamps cost in December $4.23 and are redeemable In 1923, four years hence, worth $5.00. The eight rea sons are: 1. Money invested in War Savings Stamps .bears over 4% per cent com pound interest No other Government security pays as great a rate of in terest 2. It is non-taxable. Only when money is invested in Government se curities is it free from taxes. 3. It is not subject to judgment creditors or to execution of any kind. 4. It is redeemable at any time. If a person who has invested his money in War Savings Stamps finds himself overtaken by adversity,, sickness or other emergency, he can, by giving ten days notice to the postoffioe where his stamps are registered, get back the amount of money he originally in vested with about 3 per-cent interest. • - 5. It is redeemable In installments. If a person needs a part of the money he has invested In stamps before the date of maturity, he can cash in the stamps in installments at different times. 6. It enables the small investor as soon as he has $4.23 to become owner of a Government -bond and a partner of the Government. This is a privilege the- average citizen of tine State has never before had. At the beginning of the war only one person in 300 owned Government bonds. Now at the close of the war one person in every five owns a Government bond. Are you a bond-holder by owning a ’ :berty Bond or a DStar Savings Cer tificate? 7. Money invested In War Savings Stamps is an investm ent made when money has a reduced purchasing ">ower to be paid: "back when it will have a large purchasing power. Tb* day a dollar has the purchasing pow- of only sixty cents on a pre-war is, whereas, in 1923, or after the war, a dollar w ill have at least the purchasing power of 100 cents. 8. Registration of .Stamps at post offices insures .absolute safety. Aftei a person registers his Stamps at th« post office they are redeemable upog demand every if the' Stamps them selves have been mutilated, stolen, cs lost by fire.

North Carolbia’s reputation Ie at stake. Her war record which Is now 100 per cent perfect is to be saved oi* ton* by the sue* cess or failure’ of the War Sav ings Campaign. Thus- far the State has succeeded in its four Liberty Loans, in its ReH Cross, Y. M. C. A. and United War Fund Campaigns, and If its rec ord is to remain 100 per cent perfect, it must make a success of its War Savings Campaign by December 31. The record made by the boys at the front has been a com plete success. They have made a perfect score In efficiency, in courage, in patriotism and in whatever else was necessary to win the war and bring peace to the world. They have nobly re sponded to every call of their Government, to every demand for justice, to every cry of wronged and suffering human ity. Can the people at home afford to have their record of war activities besmirched with the failure of the War Savings Campaign—the greatest war ef fort of the year? If the State's fine war record is to be saved, if the makers of history are to chronicle a per- feet score as the citizens’ re sponse to every war call of the Government, then they must make the War Savings Cam paign a success by December 31. If the State's envious record of the past is to remain untarnish ed In the future and if its citi zens are to continue to boast with pride of its accomplish m ents in war as well as In peace, the one remaining war effort of the year must be suc cessfully finished. The State must raise its full War Savings quota by December 31. North Carolina has n°ver failed, and will not fail this time. STAMPS ARE FOR RICH AND POOR No man or woman who has acquired a Liberty Bond is relieved from the duty of buying War Savings Stamps. To leave the Stamps plan of lending money to the Government to those ot narrow means and to the young people is to be careless of the cause of America and her allies. Does Gte average man or woman vdio earns a substantial salary or good iwage* have any idea of the sac-, rifices made by the small investors in Wkr Savings Stamps to do . their “bit”, in Hio war? It is often a story of: silent heroism. If those in-fairly easy' circumstances emu]atSdjtheiTsSpyjpoor.; whose sonls are filled with-unyielding resolutions to do their share, to win the war, what a boom there would be In the Government's receipts from sales of War Savings Stamps. Now is the time for everyone, no matter what his station in Hf© m ay be, to. make as. great a sacrifice for his Government , and for humanity as is made by the moat bumble of our Citizen*. -- - .-.,Hi , ~ -J. >■ „ T H i Ba v ie r ec o r d , M oes^vtLLE, s . o. •v.'; v > y ^ Praises Country Press Loyally.

Now two-thirds of the consuming centers, with millions of people, are one to two thousand miles away from the principal live-stock produc- ing sections, which are sparsely settled. The American meat packing industry of today is the development of. the best way to perform a national service- The function of providing meat had to de velop accordingly. Those men who first grasp ed the elements Cf the changing problem created the best facilities to meet U -iIarge packing plants and branch houses at strategic points, refrigerating equipment (including cars), car routes, trained organization, profitably outlets for former waste —- which becametthe nat ural, inevitable channels for the vast flow of meat across the country. If there were a better way- to perform this necessary service, American ingenuity and enterprise would have discovered it, and others would now be using it. During 1918, Swift & Company has earned a profit on meats (and meat by-products) of less than Z% cents per dollar of sales>4too small a- profit to have any appreciable effect on prices.

( 6 Ai O S r-----------------------f j REMEMBERED i } and 5 i FORGOTTEN I I I J By LAURA JEAN UBBEY i “The heart is hard In nature and unfit For human fellowship, as being void Ot sympathy and therefore dead alike To love and friendship both, that Is not pleased With sight of ofhers enjoying life Nor feels their happiness augment his own.” A t the beginning of the New Tear one should brush the dust off his list of friends, looking up those who have dropped quietly out of one’s everyday life without a very good reason for it. Making new acquaintances is usu ally an easy matter. But to nurture those acquaintances until they blos som into friends, cemented by loyalty and constancy, is a different problem. A man or woman m ay count ac quaintances by the score—people who Invite them to their homes to dine, to theater party, or merrymaking—yet they are still acquaintances only. Friendship means much more than this, while few actually understand it. Many a one has counted up a hundred so-called friends today. But If adver sity assails one tomorrow there may not be one heart among the many one could turn to for solace and cheer. Not one pair of hands would :be ex tended to draw one In from the cold, the storm and darkness, if one Is sud denly bereft of shelter. Past benefits are - not remembered. Acquaintances find it easy to forget. Only friends re member the past and -its hallowed memories. A woman will remember every detail of her courtship—where she first met her lover, their Introduction, the im pression she formed of him at first sigh t She even remembers what her reveries were and her wonderment as to whether or not he thought of her. She remembers each call he made; all that w as said or done; how she had delected his growing love for her even before he guessed it himself. She re members the hour of thfeir bethrothal and the. conversation that brought It quite unexpectedly about A s for the man she married, not one man In a hundred can remember what emotion swept across his heart at his first meeting with her whom he was to love evermore till death did them part. Ninety-nine men out of a hun dred w ill confess to their wives. “I’m blest if I Just know just how I hap pened to propose to you." When a man cnn forget that most thrilling of all moments In his life he can forget anything. Such men find it very easy to forget their w ife’s or children’s birthdays, realizing that remembrance would call for presents. Many wives are glad to have the chil dren not forgotten. But they are just as well satisfied that he has forgotten how sw iftly time is running away with their good looks and aging them. Last, and by no means least, no man or woman, no matter how happily mar ried, should allow the old folks at homfe to imagine them selves forgotten by them. It doesn’t take much time to write a few lines once In a fortnight W e should always remember not to for get those who have been dear to us.

OUT OF MANY RACES RED CROSS MAKES ONE ONE of the greatest services which the Red Crdss Is performing in this war is the unification of the • many races of which America is com posed through the Home Service, which, through its 10,000 committees, is looking after the welfare of the sol diers’ families In every corner of the country, America has always been called the Melting Pot, and truly, but the process has been slow. The war has accelerated it. The Indians of the west, the negroes of the south, the Ital ians and Eastern Europeans of our in dustrial centers, the Mexicans of the Southwest, Armenians and Swedes and Norwegians and Japanese and Iceland ers—all are now enlisted under one flag, and were whoie heartedly in the war because it was America’s war and they are-Americans. That they feel this is patent to those who have seen and talked with these men. Witness the Italian, who In the assembly hall of one of our mobiliza tion camps was waiting with a group of his fellows to take the oath of al legiance. He stepped forward sudden ly witli tears in his eyes and with a vivid gesture .pressed a corner of the American Sag that hung over the desk in front of him to his lip's. A group of native born soldiers who had been looking on with amused indifference broke into applause and cheers. From then on these Italians were their brother Americans. Such work as this is valuable hoi only for the morale of the m en; it is binding the nation into one organic whole as it has never been bound be fore. To give concrete expression to this unity the Red Cross plans through its Christmas Roll Call, to be held the week beginning December 16, to in crease its membership from 22,000,- 000 to the limit of available member ship. It wishes to give in this way no tice to the world that every American, Irrespective of creed or birth, stands squarely and uncompromisingly for the principles for which we have been fighting—that America is one and in divisible pledged solidly for bm or and mercy and good faith. SICK FOLKS HUSTLE FOR THE RED CROSS Through the National Tuberculosis Associationandthe Jourual of the Out door Life, its official magazine, a cam paign is being organized to get tuber culosis patients of the country to en list every fellow "cure chaser” as a member of the Red Cross during the coming Red Cross Christmas Roll Call. Special campaigns have been organ ized in all of the large sanatoria,_ of which there are nearly GOO scattered throughput the United States. Efforts will be made to enroll one hundred ' per cent In each institution and also to go after all patients and enroll them as well. Every patient in the sanatorium will be responsible to get one mofe patient. The movement will be a contribution of the tuberculosis patients of the country^ to the Red Cross. Since the National Tuberculosis As sociation and its affiliated agencies are being supported by the'R ed Cross through direct appropriatioh during s the year 1919, this effort of the tuber culosis patients is considered to be an unusually appropriate one. RED CROSS CARRIES TONS OF FOOD TO BELGIANS American Red Cross trucks are con stantly in action along, the Belgian front This report of the work of these trucks was recently received by the Commission for Belgium: "In the last two weeks we bandied 240 tons of foodstuffs and a large quantity of salvaged material. "We have been'saving the effects Qf people In the shelled towns, Furnes, AbeeTe, Coxyde, La Panne, Alvering- hem, Oost-Dunrick1 the Trappist Farm, S t Jeanle-Biezen and Reningheist. On nearly all occasions when work was In progress in the last named it has been shelled, but fortunately with out injuries to trucks or drivers." For Better Drinking Water. . Because of -the necessity for better drinking water In Italy the American Red Cross Is manufacturing n large number of water sterilizers and disin fecting plants which are to be turned over to the Italign military authorities at Rome and used according to their discretion. m CROSS AIDS I FARMING IN ITALY Through efforts of the American Red Cross scientific fanning is now being taught the younger generation' of Italy, thus eliminating considerable waste and replacing old-fashioned im plements with modern American-made machinery. Schools of agriculture have been* es tablished, and the Department of Civil Affairs of the American Red Cross, co-operating with a similar Italian or ganization, known as the “Comitato per gli Orfani de ConstadinI Morti Iu Guerra," has opened a school of farm ing, conducted by Salesian Fathers, in fields just outside the Pqrta Furba, one of the historic gateways of Rome. The boys of the school, all orphans of peasant soldiers, are given training in scientific and practice' farming, the object being to strengthen their at tachment to the soil, aiso to convert them into good and intelligent farm ers. Lectures and classroom Instruc tion are accompanied by" field work with modern tools under the direct su pervision of the younger Fathers of the institution, who work side by side with the boys In the fields, teaching and demonstrating. BISHOP JOHN J. O’CONNOR TELLS OF RED CROSS APPEAL Bishop John J. O'Connor of- Newark thus expresses his approval of the Red Cross Christmas roll call: “A citizen of the United States can offer no valid excuse for failure to en roll himself in the American Red Cross Society. An organization whose one great principle is humanity has the right to call all men to its standard. The Red Cross appeals to the common human in us. It aims at giving fine words, like sympathy and pity and mercy, some practical value. The world has waited a long time for an organi zation which could give to vague feel ings of sympathy wide, practical ap plication. The American Red" "Cross fulfills every requirement of a broadly humanitarian association. It accepts only universally admitted principles. It limits its operations to no particu lar class. It sides with no party. It asks of its members but two things— that they have pity on suffering wher ever found and that they have the will to relieve misfortune. “The appeal of the Red Cross for an increased membership should be in stantly heeded. The man who fails to heed this call places himself, outside the pale. He does not feel with Itii- native land. He is not one with his kind. Here is our opportunity to join In a work which gives to religion and its teaching present value. Place your names on the rolls of the American Red Cross.” WHY AMERICA NEEDS CHRISTMAS ROLL CALL George E. Scott, general manager of the American Red Cross,: thus ex plains the necessity for. the Christmas Roll Call: I “The response that the people of-the United States make when t ie Christ mas Roll Call summons them to a uni versal membership In the ' American Red Cross will,.If that respotnse is na tion wide, accomplish these -things: "It will give exalted purpose and high resolve to the Soldiers and Sail ors of America. “It will give encouragement and re newed devotion to those who.are .work ing liere at home. “It will give inspiration and courage to those of our people who are labor ing overseas.” When the Soldiers Are Getting WeIL The convalescent soldiers/are being cared for In Italy by the Amterican Red Cross. There are sixteen hospitals al ready In operation and (twenty-nine others in process of construction. Al these hospitals, in addition to the care of their wounds and their general health, the soldiers are- being taught useful trades. There are typewriters, sewing machines and tools for cabinet making at each hospital, and the sol diers find that, In addition to supply ing them with a tiseOjl trade when they are well, the use o f these "toys” gives them hours of pleasure during the tedious period of getting well.
