PERSHING In-a Thanksgiving Address to His Troops. FePow r: soldiers, never in the history of our country tiave we; as a peopie, come together with si,oh full hearts as on this greatest of all Thanksgiving days. Representing the high ideals of our countrymeu and cherishing thi -epirlt of our forefathers who first celebrated this festival of Thanksgiving, we are proud to have repaid a debt of gratitude to the land of Lafay ette and to have lent our aid in saving civilization from destruct iou. The unscrupulous invader has beeu driven from the devastated scenes of his unholy conquest. The tide of conflict which, ,during the dark days ot midsummer,, threatened to overwhelm the allied forces has been-turned into glorious victory. It- is fitting that the con­ quering armies should pause to give thanks to the God of battles who has guided, our cause aright. Victory was our goal. Ifc is a hard-won gift, of the soldier to his country. Only the eoldier knows the cost of a gift we now present to the natiou, Today, with thank fullness, we huinbly acknowledge that His strength has given us the victory, • In this hour of thauksgiving our eternal gratitude goes out to those 'heroes who loved liberty better than life, who sleep yonder where they fell; to the maimed whose honorable/ scars testily stronger tliaqNwords #to their splendid, valor, and to-; the '- brive fellowij^.jphose Strong . releotlesi; blows" finally flushed the eueuiy’s power. Nor in our prayers shall v.e tor get the widow who freely gave the b.gstKHud H uoi^^^oip!^. life, nor those who, in bidden her­ oism, have impoverished them­ selves to eniiob the cause, uor our comrades who in more obscure pi-sts here* and at home Lnve fur­ nished their toll fo the solaiors at the front. This spirit that has won the vic­ tory is to become a permanent and indispensable mainstay of peace and happiness. It is not a matter of individual ehuico but ot obliga­ tion, that we should proudly cariy back with us Our nation awaits the return of its soldiers, believing in the stabil­ ity of character that has come from seif diciplioe and sell-sacrifice. , Why Not Eliminate This Busk? A. postollce department funct­ ionary has been before Congress asking for an appropriation ol eight million dollars for motor trucks to be used in establishing parcel post routes which will re­ duce the cost of living by enabling the consumer to buy farm products “direct from the producer.” We heard an unlimited amount of that kind, of talk wheu the parcel post, was established. But the purpose of the parcel post most talked a- bout has absolutely lailed. The service has not. been used to any exteut for the distribution of tood stuffs direct from tlie producer to consumer, despite the expenditure or ..vast' turns of money and the adoption ol all sorts of devices to btiug about this arrangement. Why continue this discredited buuk output? Theorctkally the B.heine will work; practically it doesn’t work at ail; wherein ic is like a lot of other plans devised iu the active imaginations of economic theorists and governmental funct­ ionaries.—15s.

Ob, Yoo Fords. ; Interesting little items trickle in.: to the National !Republican *froo> time to time giving first news of administration extravagance. For instance this paper is advised -on good authority that among the vast stores of stuff the Government has accumulated at Atlanta are 300 Ford cars, new, and out in the weather, and parts enough to put upcompleteovertwice this nuui ber* along with vast quantities of other material, for instance several carloads of axes. Probably tin- axes are there to be used in chop­ ping up the Fords. This being true of Atlanta it may be assumed that similar conditions prevail • in other centers:-. The- number . of Ford care on hand may help ex­ plain. Henry’s perfervid devotion to the administration.—National.- Republican. In Other Days. An Irishman went into the of­ fice of the president of the Illinois Central. Bailroad and said: “ Me name’s Casey. Oi worruk out in th’ yar r-ds. Oi’d like a pass to St. Louis.” -■‘.‘That is no way to. ask for % pass” said the president “Youahouid introduce yourself po­ litely. Come back in an hour and try it again.” At the end of the day back came the Irishman. Doffing hfs hat, he enquired: Are yez the' man I saw before?” J am.” “Me name iBPatrick Casey.

It was not many years- ago that newly elected Senators vere compelled to wait -a number of j ears before they could aspire to such honors. In those days ap­ propriations amounted to less than a billion dollars annually.. Now, when they are reckoned in tens of billions, we have inexperienced re­ cruits from the South placed in charge of the supply bills.

A large number'of our subscrip tions will expire within the next few days. A bit; number of these have taken our paper for 20 years and have always paid and expect tO' p: y again.

The United States government ;*ei11 undertake eventually to ret urn to their homes for burial the bodi* s oi all American soldieis now iu. terred in France, but that this cannot be done until after the de­ claration of peace, is information contained iu a letter received to d&y.by Senator Simmons from Ad­ jutant Geueral Harris. Senator Simmons wrote the Ad- j iitant general that a North Caro­ lina father desired a passport to go to France aud bring hack the body of his soldier son who was killed in battle. Adjutant Gener­ al Harris says this is impossible at this time, but he gives assurance that eventually American fathers and mothers may hope for the re turn of their dead. ■ -The letter of the Adjutant Gen­ eral of the army will concern ev­ ery parent who has made a sacri­ fice of a son in this war. Whether ! soldier dead of America shall re^.farever in the soil of France $i! bo returned to the native, laud ' J s question to which the war de­ partment has given ' sympathetic usideration. The present pro I^ato of the department is outlined i)S-follows by the adjutant general <£nd will bring relief to thousands dfc bereaved American homes. “I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of November 1918, relative to a friend ot ^ours whose son was killed in iTiaiice and'who desires to secure a passport to go to France to bring back the remains of his son to this country, and iu response thereto Lu;iuforni you tbat it is against the {jolicy of the war department to eiicsdurage travel to Europe at .this time, and a passport would not be i^ u ^ f i^ 't^ ^ U r p .^ ^ t^ jg .iiq D ^ in your letter. To undertake to consider individual cases of this nature would, it is ttfbught., result, iu confusion aud would interfere with the getieral plan already adopted. “The question of returning to the United States t*he bodies of sol diets who are killed or who die iu foreign service, has been carefully considered by the war department in conjunction with the navy de partineut, with the result that it has been decided that it is imprac- able to uuiertake to return to the Nnited States the remains of oor soldiers, sailors, marines aud civ­ ilian employees who are so unfor tunatc as to meet death while a broad, until after the close of the war. Tbe policy thus adopted is based upoq a recommendation by ibe commauding general of our ex­ peditionary lorces, find theexireme difficulties of transportation and shipping, and the fact that this al­ so harmonizes with tbe policy ol the British government in this matter. “Arrangements have been made with the French goviernment for the use of certain sections of the country as military cemeteries, aud organizations have been formed, known as graves iegistration units, charged with the duties of burial, care for the cem' .<-ries and preser­ vation of the idbutiiication recoids mo that there will be no - confusion or doubt as t*o the identity when the the time comes for transfer ol' the remains of our soldiers and sailors to tbe United States which will 1>3 done at. government ex­ pense.

SNOW TWO TO FOUR FEET OEEP JOINT RECEPTION IS GIVEN THE PRESIDENT BY THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT AT ROME. Hot Artillery Fire Forces the Ameri­ cans to Withdraw temporarily from Villages Occupied by Them. With the American Army on the Dwiiia.—American troops fighting des­ perately near Kadisli, have driven hack bolshevik troops which made an advance there. The bolshevists also launched attacks on the Onega sector and bombarded the allied front. The Americana came into battle along the Petrograd road and in the frozen swamps that border it. The battle was fought in snow from two to four feet in depth. American forces captured Kadish after a display of gallantry that evoked the admiration of the allied comman­ ders. Special care has been-taken of the American wounded and the body of an American officer was taken back 100 miles by sledge .and then shipped to Archangel for burial. There were some casualties, but they were small in comparison to those inflicted upon the enemy. On Tuesday, the bolshevists opened a. terrific fire from three and six-inch guns and launched a counter-attack against the buildings held by the Am­ ericans in Kadish. So hot was the ar­ tillery fire that the Americans were withdrawn temporarily from the vil­ lage. The line, however, was not taken back very far and the new po­ sitions were firmly held. The enemy did not occupy Kadish because the barrage fire from the Americans guns made the place untenable. Shells falling on the frozen ground spread their zones of destruction twice as far as they would under normal con­ ditions. Later, under the protection of artillery fire. American detach­ ments again swept, forward and reoc­ cupied the town. The men engaged in the advance were from infantry and trench mortar units. GEN. OIK MD WILSON MEET Weather Warmer and More Balmy Than That Experienced by Party in France or England. Rome.—In parliament house a joint reception was given President Wilson by the members of the senate and the chamber of deputies. The function was an impressive one. The large and distinguished gathering gave the President an ovation. ! During his speech the President I constantly was interrupted by out- , bursts of applause and when he ended he was accorded an ovation which j lasted until he passed through the exit of the building. Outside the throngs. In the street took up the demonstra­ tion which continued until the doors of the Quirinal closed behind Mr. Wilson. The weather was warmer and more balmy than the presidential party had experienced in Pranee and England and there was a feeling of relief on their part. The President met with j really the first touch of sustained sun­ shine he had seen since coming to j Europe, and he made the remark dur- i ing the day that the weather remind­ ed him of that at home. During the day King Victor Em­ manuel presented General Diaz to ■ President Wilson, who complimented j the Italian commander-in-chief on the magnificent achievements of his army. 1 The President expressed regret that he would be unable to visit the Italian ; battlefront owing to lack of time and j the necessity of returning to Paris as ; soon as possible for the work of the peace conference. AMERICAN MILITARY LAWS ARE DECLARED OBSOLETE REVISED STATISTICS SHOW INCREASE OF DEATHS Washington. — The influenza epi­ demic which swept the country during the latter part of last year caused 111.688 deaths in the 46 largest cities and increased the combined death rate for those communities in 1918 to 19.6 per thousand, according; to statistics made public by the cen­ sus bureau. Total figures for the country were not available. Baltimore with 26.8 per thousand and Nashville with 26.4 had th s highest rates of the registration cities, while St. Paul with 13.9 and Minneaj- oiis and Grand Rapids with 14 eaeJ had the lowest. I New York.—Administration of mili- ; tary justice in the United States will be one of the subjects considered at the annual meeting of the American Bar Association. The executive com­ mittee of the association, at a meet­ ing here, decided it is a subject which requires consideration and “probably some reformation." In making the announcement, Presi­ dent George T. Page, of Peoria, 111., gave out a statement in which he de­ clared that the war has demonstrated "that our military laws and our sys­ tem of administering military justice are unworthy of the name of law or justice.” The United States, he said, still is following rules copied from England in 1774, but which were abandoned long ago by Great Britain and which were better suited “to the . armies of feudal times than to the citi­ zen armies of a modern republic."

Rome.—Front the frontier to Rome the journey of President Wilson was like a triumphal procession. Moun­ taineers and villagers swarmed from the hills and valleys to the railroad over which the presidential train'pass­ ed to pay homage to America. They shouted “vivas,” waving hats and handkerchiefs and flags and form­ ing picturesque groups which were emphasized by the brilliant sunshine, blue sky and green luxuriant land- scape. The president was met at the sta­ tion by the prefect of the province, the mayor, the general commanding the troops here and other authorities. Although the reception of the Ameri­ can chief executive was unofficial, the station was decorated with the Italian and -American colors, while every­ where in the city the Stars and Stripes was flown beside the Italian flag. The president’s train left a short time later amid the enthusiastic cheers of a crowd which had gathered to greet the nation’s guest. PETROGRAD POPULACE IS ON VERGE OF OUTBREAK Washington.—The government's loss in operating the railroads in 1918 is calculated by railroad administration officials at less than $150,000,000. This represents the difference between the aggregate amount, the government would be compelled to pay railroad companies as rental for the use of tiheir properties—the so-called guaran­ teed return—and the net income which the government will receive from the railroads. It will take six months more of re­ ceipts from the increased freight rates to permit the government to recoup its losses, officials believe. If Con­ gress does not approve the proposed five-year extension of federal control, and as a consequence President Wil­ son carries out his announced inten­ tion of returning the roads to private management at an early date, the government’s loss will not be made up. TIiis deficit does not include the big sums—between $150,000,000 and $200,- 000,900—which have been t loaned the railroads to help them pay for the ex­ tensive program of improvements and purchase of new cars and locomotives These loans will be repaid eventually. London—Dissatisfaction and desper­ ation in Petrograd, caused by the al- . ost complete disappearance, of the necessaries of life and the system o| government in effect under bolshevik rule, are so widespread that the popu­ lace is on the verge of an outbreak, according to a Danish business man, who has returned from Russia. “Conditions in Petrograd are ex­ ceedingly depressing," he says, “ex­ cept for the red guard and its agents, the whole population is in dire needs. Petrograd is face to face with com­ plete starvation. “The present system of government is creating general stagnation and th« misery in which the majority of the populace is living has fostered dis­ satisfaction and desperation, which are gradually spreading. VESSEL WITH 2,480 SOLDIERS AGROUND OFF FIRE ISLAND INCREASE TO SEVEN CENT CAR FARE CAUSES TROUBLE PROTESTANTS RECEIVED BY j PRESIDENT IN CHURCH HOOVER, DIRECTOR GENERAL INTERNATIONAL RELIEF WORK Denver. .— Demonstrations against the collection of a seven-cent street car fare, recently approved by the state public utilities commission, re suited In blocking virtually all th? lines of the Denver Tramway Com. pany. A crowd collected at Fifteenth and Larimer streets in -the heart of the business quarter, pulled trolley poles from the wires and cut trolley ropes, halting all traffic. New York.—Relatives of men aboard the United States transport Northern Paoific, aground on a sand­ bar off Fire Island, need have no fear for their safety, according to a wire­ less message from' Captain Connelly, commanding. “Northern Pacific is in no danger, said Captain Connelly’s message. “Relatives of soldiers and crew need have no fear for their safety. The soldiers will be landed whenever winds shift to northward of west.” The naval authorities are taking every precaution, however, to guard the lives of the 2,480 soldiers aboard the transport, nearly 1.700 of whom are sick or wounded. A breeches buoy has been rigged from the shore to the vessel, ready for use at any time if it is deemed best to risk further injury to the stretcher cases by remov­ ing them from the craft, while 13 de­ stroyers and naval tugs aTe standing by to lend assistance in emergency.

Hoover director general of international organization tor the relief of liberated countries, both neutral and enemy. Norm an Da­ vis. formerly on the staff of Oscar T. Crosby, special commissioner of finance for the United States in Eu­ rope, will act as Mr. Hoover’s assist­ ant. This was announced by the Ameri­ can peace commission in a statement which says that the designation of Mr. Hoover to take' charge of the relief work is in conformity with the request of the allied governments that the United States take a predominat­ ing part in the organization and di­ rection of relief measures. The state­ ment says: “Upon President Wilson’s arrival the result of the Investigations of the United States and allied government officials into the -food situation of the liberated countries, neutral and en­ emy were laid before him. 200,000 WORKMEN WITH NO WORK, NO FOOD, NO CLOTHES Washington.;—It is understood here that Col. Theodore Rosevelt is about to announce that he will not be a can­ didate for the presidency In 1920. His health /is poor, and the rigors of a campaign might make it worse. If Mr. Roosevelt gets out of the way it is be­ lieved that Senators Lodge. Knox. Watson, Harding and Sherman wlil enter the race. That is One way of explaining the bitter attacks on the president in ,the senate. MEXICAN REFUGEES SEND DELEGATES TO CONFERENCE El Paso.—Six hundred refugees of all political factions formed an organ­ ization here and decided to send dele­ gates to -Paris during the. peace con­ gress there with a view to obtaining a permanent peace.in Mexico and the repatriation of all political exiles In the United States and Europe. Dele­ gations wil also be sent to President Carranza, Francisco Villa, and other leaders in the interest, of this move­ ment.

The premier is a member of the Austrian parliament and one of the most prominent figures in the present government. He ia the son of a coal miner, but a highly educated student of government, an ideal socialist, whose honesty is un­ questioned, even by the opposition. “The social'contrasts are every-> whOre. too great,” he said. “We have 200,000 workmen unemployed here —no clothes and no food for their families.. I am a socialist, but, above all, I am Polish. “I am no bolshevist. I love Poland and am willing to die for her. I serv-ed three years as a soldier and consider .that I am doing my duty by remaining at my -present post until the elections. If necessary I wRl die at this post. . Norfolk.

One detachment occupied the iCastle of Oonnt Karolyi where Field Marriial von Mackensen, of the German army is interned. ; Other reports reachlug Zurish from Budapest say that there, have been seyeral brawls there between Ruma­ nians and Magayra. New York--The night after New Year’s eve New York was bone dry and it wasn’t because the entire visi­ ble supply of intoxicants had been consumed last night either. The sa­ loon keepers closed their doors volun­ tarily. , The unprecedented action of the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association was taken because the members believed it was the only way they could keep liquor from men in uniform who flock­ ed to the city by the tens of thous­ ands. It was estimated that more than 100,000 soldiers and sailors spent New Year's day in New York.

GERMAN AUTHORITIES ARE , WORKING WITH BOLSHEVIKI Warsaw.—Additional proof that the German authorities are working hand in hand with Russia bolsheviki is con­ tained In the report of a conference on December 18 between Captain Bobiattynski, of the Polish army, and German delegates at German head­ quarters in Lithunia. The topic of discussion was the Polish demand for permission to organize militia against the advancing bolsheviki. The Ger­ man delegates declared they had re­ ceived telegraphic orders from Berlin not to interfere with the internal pol­ icies of Lithunia. The Polish officer replied that he had not come to dis­ cuss political matters, but the de­ fense of the Vilna against the bolshe­ viks. The Germans answered that the formation of Polish units at ViIna must be considered a political act, be^ cause it would obviously serve for the defense of the frontiers asainst the soviet forces. . As if not sufficiently disclosing their purpose by this reply, the German delegate went on. to say that permis­ sion to form an army to fight' the bol­ sheviki could not be granted. Poor Material.

INFRACTORS OF THE FOOD LAWS MUST ADVERTISE OFFENSE IN LOCAL NEWSPAPERS. DlSPflICHES FROM BALEIfiH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Merchants in North Carolina are! learning that it it a mistaken idea to , suppose that the food administration { has ceased to function. Ten Rocky I Mount grocers, among the number, I have just been reqnired to advertise! in their local papers t'le fact Ihatj they have been exceeding the margin | of profits allowed on flour and other • products. This is a new stunt in pen- j alties. j As an evidence of the fact that the food administration is still doing busi­ ness at the old stand, Food Adminis­ trator Page is considering and will probably announce within a few days the revocation of license or the black­ listing of one wholesaler, one ginner, one roller mill and two retailers, all of whom have been found guilty of violating food administration rules and regulations affecting their busi­ ness. Bank Examiner Resigns. S. A. Hubbard, state bank examiner, lias resigned, and John 6. Nichols, as­ sistant state bank examiner, has been elected to succeed Hubbard by the cor­ poration commission. Mr. Hnbbard Ihas accepted the position of cashier of the Battery Park Bank. Asheville, one of the largest banking institutions in the state. He has served on the commission seven years, first as as­ sistant bank examiner and for the past six years as bank examiner. He is re­ garded as one of the best banking men in North Carolina. Raleigh Safe Place tor Solons. State Department officials and insti­ tution heads are viewing with con­ cern the progress of a suggestion re- recently made through the press that the legislature meet, organize and ad­ journ until the summer when there -will be less danger from influenza. “Why such a thing would stop the wheels of the state government,” said one official. "It would paralyze the educational program for the year, hinder the state departments in even the routine work, and practically hold at a standstill, if it did not disrupt, the work of the colleges hospitals and other institutions which depend upon the annual appropriation of the gen­ eral assembly.” "The summer,” he continued, "would be no suitable time for a session of the general assembly. The lawyers in the body might be aided a bit by hav­ ing the session continued, for Janu­ ary and February are busy months in legal practice. But usually, the law­ yers can spare the time, while the farmers of the body must be at home during the summer to look after their crops.” Although the suggestion for a con­ tinued session of the legislature has been made, there is yet no indication that it has taken a Iirm hold, or that those who suggested it are determ­ ined to make a fight for adjournment. In fact, with the steady decline of the epidemic in Raleigh there is a likeli­ hood that Raleigh may be considered a safe asylum from the disease. Dr. W. S. Rankin, secretary of the state board of health, does not believe that the coming of the legislature to Raleigh will entail any greater danger to the legislators than they would be subject to in their own homes. The epidemic has now spread very generally over the state. Few com­ munities have been asbsolutely tree from it, and the history of the dis­ ease has been that it becomes less severe the longer it continues. With all this in view, Dr. Rankin, without hesitation expressed the view that influenza should be no drawback to the meeting of the general assem­ bly. - a .

Raleigh/—Much interest was stirred here by a press report that went out to afternoon papers to the effect that the directorate of the University of North Carolina had on foot a plan to offer the presidency of the university to President Woodrcrw Wilson at a salary of ?20,000. No information of the subject could be gotten here, and Secretary R. W. D Connor, of the university directorate', definitely stat­ ed that there was no such plan having any official status. He granted that some individual trustee might con­ ceive of such a plan and give it to the press, but certainly there is nothing official in any reports of the sort that may be extant. Meeting of Food Inspectors. The inspectors for hte t'ood adminis­ tration in North Carolina were in con­ ference with State Food Administra­ tor Henry A. Page. With the remov­ al of the regulation upon eating houses end most of the regulations upon the •wheat milling industry the work of the Inspectors is lightened to some extent .And Administrator Page instructed the inspectors to devote the greater part of their time and attention to the detec­ tion of profiteering or regulation in foodstuffs.

To Make Farm Surveys. Under the direction of J. M. John­ so n , the farm management division o f the state experiment station, Will launch at once a considerable cam­ paign for farm surveys in Western Carolina, with view to keeping strict TecordB of development under specific methods of cultivation and manage­ ment. Farms in Mecklenburg, Ca­ tawba and adjacent counties are re­ ceiving special attention in this work just now and the plan is to have those farms listed for this service visited at ■frequent intervals. Negro Ex-Congressman Dead. George H .White the last negro con­ gressman who died in Philadelphia, was elected to the fifty-fifth and fiifty- sixtb congresses from the Second North Carolina district, then known as the “black district.” He was born in Columbus county, North Carolina, and removed to Craven which was then in the Second district, now rep­ resented by Claude Kitchin, who suc­ ceeded him. Since that time there haB been a rearrangement of the dis­ tricts and Craven is now in the Third. Peanut Crop to be Held. At a meeting of peanut growers of Eastern Carolina and Virginia, held in Tarbora, the following resolutions in part, passed at a previous meeting of growers in Suffolk. Virginia, were adopted. "Whereas, from the best data ob­ tainable, peanuts are now selling at a price below the cost of production, a price much lower than that receiv­ ed for the same measure of food value of other products, and "Whereas, the present crop was produced under war conditions when the prices of labor and materials were abnormal, and “Whereas, the United States Food Administration and the United State* Department of Agriculture, in the spring of 1918, urgently requested the increased production of those crops rich in proteins and fats as a patri­ otic duty. “Therefore he it resolved: "That there be a canvass made of each county to determine the number of framres who are able and willing to hold their crop, how long they can hold it and how many they control. “That a meeting of representatives of the farming, hanking and local warehouse interests be held to deter­ mine a basis for the extension of credit on the crop on hand. “That the Food Administration and War Trade Board be requested to use all of their pswers toward stabil­ izing prices and continuing the em­ bargo on imported nuts. 8pook Light Seen Again. That strange light on Jonas’ Ridge is flaring up again. Senator Overman has been asked to have it investigat­ ed. Many persons have seen the Jonas' Ridge light, which has excited interest for years. The geological sur­ vey sent one or more men to North Carolina to watch the illumination, but they said it was the reflection from ,a railroad engine. The people of the Jonas’ Ridge region believe that the fellow who made that report is wrong in the upper story. Price of Cottonseed. A number of inquiries regarding the possibility of changes in the prices ol cottonseed or cottonseed products, which have no doubt resulted from the removal of some food administration restrictions on the wheat milling in* dustry and the rescinding of other regulations affecting consumers have drawn from the office of State Fooi Administrator Henry A. Page a state­ ment to the effect that there is no prospect of any change in the stabiliz­ ed program under which the cotton seed industry is being operated. League of Nations Subject of Warm Debate, Here, and Abroad—Prog­ ress of Germany's Revolution Watched With Suspicion by Allied Nations. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Mingling business and pleasure, President Wilson spent a busy Christ­ mas week in France and England. After two days of conference In which several pressing problems, notably that of supplying food to the hungry peo­ ples of Europe, were thoroughly dis­ cussed, Mr. Wilson and his party were taken to Chaumont to spend Christmas day with the American troops there. General Pershing was his host, but the president devoted much of his time to the doughboys and both he. and they enjoyed the day im­ mensely. A review of 10,000 American troops was a feature of the day’s do­ ings. In the course ot his address to- the men of the First army Mr. Wilsoo said: “It was the privilege of Amer­ ica to present the chart for peace and now the process of settlement has been made comparatively simple by the fact that all the nations concerned have accepted the chart.” Next the presidential party traveled to Calais and thence to Dover and London, arriving in the British capital Thursday afternoon. Throughout the trip they were accorded all the honors that royalty could claim, and the short drive through London was like a royal progress. King George, Queen Mary and Princess Mary met them at the station and the Household cavalry acted as escort. As it was a holiday —boxing day—the entire population of the metropolis seemed to be out, de­ termined to see the famous American. After a night’s rest in Buckingham palace Mr. Wilson met the British' war cabinet and discussed with it the British peace terms that the cabinet had formulated for presentation to the interallied conference preceding the peace congress. On Saturday he con­ ferred with Premier LIoyd George, Foreign Secretary Balfour and Chan­ cellor of the Exchequer Bonar Law, and on Sunday went to Carlisle, where his mother spent her girlhood. —te — In London there was more than a hint that the chief object of Mr. Wil­ son’s visit to England, aside from the courtesy feature, was to ascertain definitely the views of the British gov­ ernment on the question of. the terms of restitution to be imposed on Ger­ many. It was said he had found opinion on the continent very hard set on this question, which is not in the' least surprising. The people who were most directly hit py the hard­ ships and horrors of the war are not likely to be forgiving and altruistic in their attitude toward the conquered Hnns. If, as has been often said, America Is to ask nothing from Ger­ many, it would seem to most of us that the matter of payment might well be left to the victorious nations of Eu­ rope, who do intend to be repaid, so far as is possible, for their enormous —Ba— The proposed league of nations and the cognate question of the free­ dom of the seas are still the subject of warm discussion, both abroad and In America. President Wilson seems to be seeking the support of the neu­ tral nations In the matter of the leagua and his plans are backed np hy vaijous organizations in France and England. It is reported that the neu- irsls will be permitted to participate in the deliberations incident to the formation of the proposed league, though they will not be admitted to the peace conference itself! It is be- .Ileved many of them will favor the formation of the league, which, under any plan of representation yet sug­ gested, would give them much greater power in world affairs than they now wield. In the United States senate there is likely to be a showdown on the league of nations plan in a very short time, as its opponents, and others, too, feel that the president should know defi­ nitely the majority opinion of the body that must finally accept or reject the peace treaty that he and his col­ leagues assent to at Versailles. Though the Republicans In the senate are nearly all opposed to the president’s plan to make the organization of the league a part of the peace treaty, they do not stand alone. Quite a number of the Democratic senators also are against that proposition, believing that at least the question should be made the subject of a separate treaty after matters relating directly to the war shall have been disposed of. As for the freedom of the seas, the expression is now interpreted to mean that Britain may not at one and the same time have the largest navy and be the exclusive Interpreter of sea laws, and this it is believed Britain will accept, consenting to an agree­ ment among nations regarding the laws and rules of the sea to which all must submit. v — t e — Prompt denial came from Paris of the report that the American delega­ tion had agreed to the sinking of the surrendered German war vessels. The president said he was absolutely op­ posed to such a course, and Secretary Lansing declared the -proposition had not even been discussed. ■ It is not likely that the general peace conference will assemble before the middle of January, nor is any offi­ cial statement expected before then as to the number of governments to be represented. It is considered prob­ able that the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and perhaps Belgium will determine the matter of admission of delegates. The repre­ sentatives of the central powers will not bs called in until the final stages are reached, for they will be com­ pelled to accept whatever the others decide upon and to have been present during the preliminary discussions would only prolong the proceedings unnecessarily. — t e — The entente nations are rather coldly and skeptically watching- the apparently desperate efforts of the new German government to establish itself. The distrust of the Hun, en­ gendered by the war and destined to last for generations, is applied to pres­ ent events and the attitude of the conquerors is rightly one of cynical watchfulness. The “revolution” was in the main so easily and smoothly accomplished and the unprotesting pil­ lars of autocracy are so rapidly slid­ ing into positions of power behind the nominal heads of the people’s government that there is reason to be suspicious. Hindenburg still controls a large part of the army and his un­ explained intention of forming a new defensive line a few miles from the Rhine has been accepted by Ebert and his colleagues. Such men as Prince Max and the treacherous and hypo­ critical Von Bemstorff are still pow­ ers In the land. It almost seems that the only genuine, sincere advocates of a real revolution in Gfermany are the bolsheviki. Under the leadership of Liebknecht and Ledebour, they are un­ remitting In their struggle to overturn the Ebert government, their latest manifestation being a bloody, revolt in Berlin last week. Mutinous sailors seized the red palace and neighboring buildings and for two days foi;ght the republican guard, about 100 persons being killed. The sailors demanded that Ebert and Haase resign, to be replaced by Ledebonr and Liebknecht. In the end the mutineers were forced to surrender and were permitted to leave the dty under guard. This was regarded as a virtual vic­ tory by the Spartacides, and next day they seized the plant of the Socialist organ Vorwaerts and the offices of the Prussian war ministry, and anj nounced that they would at once pro­ claim the downfall of the Ebert gov­ ernment. The chancellor called out all the troops in Berlin. Tliis was the Jast that had been beard from the German capital at the time of writing. The German democratic party, in assembly at .Coblenz, adopted a plat­ form on which it will stand In the na­ tional assembly. Combating both the reactionaries and the socialists, it calls for a united Germany, including German Austria; ’ equality of all citi­ zens, male and female; freedom ot thought, religion, press and speech. Officials of the Rhenish province have suggested another plan of reorganiza­ tion, the formation of seven, minor republics, which shall be united under a central government. In all their planning and scheming the Germans' of all shades of opinion and sincerity are counting more and more on the influence of President Wilson and of Americans generally to obtain easier terms from their con­ querors. Their words and actions make this evident, notwithstanding the fact that there is little on which they have any right to base such hopes. Our army of occupation, according to reports, is having an elaborate exposi­ tion of the German policy of spread­ ing soft soap, and the Boches there took full advantage of the Christmas spirit that pervaded the troops. — t e — ' Charles R. Crane of Chicago, just returned from Siberia, says: “No one knows anything about Russia. It 1» a tragedy.” That sums up the situ­ ation in the distracted, starving coun­ try that spreads from the Baltic to the Pacific. No one knows just what is happening there, still less what is likely to happen. The stories of those who claim to have accurate information are utterly conflicting and confusing. One says the bolsheviki are gaining in strength and are the only force that can be counted on to restore order and save the country from absolute disas­ ter. Another avers that the bolshevik movement Is waning and that the gov­ ernment at Omsk must be relied on. Tet others call loudly for intervention in force by allies, and they are opposed by those who declare the allied troops must be withdrawn and the Russians left to work out their own salvation. In the Baltic provinces the bolsheviki continue to push back their opponents, including such Germans as remain there, and both Prussia and Poland are becoming anxious concerning tbelr borders. On the Archangel front the Lenine forces are said to be numerous and well organized and the position of the allied expedition in that region is none too comfortable. General Semenoff, the anti-bolshevik leader who refused to recognize the au­ thority of Admiral Kolchak, dictator in the Omsk government, is said to have consented to give his recognition provided Kolchak retires In favor of General Denikine, hetman of the Cos* sacks, as soon as a ’ junction of the eastern and western forces is effected. The Russian statesmen who are in Paris, headed by Prince Lvoff, are re­ lying largely on Kolchak and Denikine, but they are also urging that an allied expedition of at least 150,000 be sent. They have not received much encour­ agement of their, plea for intervention. Here is one of the many instances that made it impossible for the out­ sider to understand what is going on in Russia: Last summer Skoropadski, hetman of the Ukraine, was deposed and driven out because he was notori­ ously the tool of the Germans. A few days ago a dispatch from Warsaw said Skoropadski and the French troops were advancing from'Odessa to bring the Ukrainian situation under control. — t e — Italy and the Jugo-Slavs are no near­ er agreement concerning the western coast of the Adriatic than they were a week ago, and their dispute undoubt­ edly must be settled by the interallied conference.

It is designed to raise $6,000,000,000 in 1919 and $4,000,000,000 in 1920. Among the amendments ac­ cepted was one making the District of Columbia “bone dry” and another levy­ ing a 100 per cent tax on air campaign contributions, in excess of $500. The latter, it is supposed, will weaken the influence of “big business” In political UPSET STOMAGH PAPE’S DIAPEPSIN AT ONCE ENDS. SOURNESS, GASES, ACIDITY INDIGESTION. Undigested food!

CHAPTER I—Continued. —2— I could only fall into his arms and express myself in the grief of child­ hood. He hugged me close and begged me to tell him what was the mat­ ter. •■That Wills boy stole my melon,” I said, and the words came slow with sobs. "Oh, no, he didn’t,” said Uncle Pea­ body. "Yes he did. I saw a piece o’ the rln'." "Well by—” said Uncle Peabody, stopping, as usual, at the edge of the precipice. "He’s a snake,” I added. “And you fit and he scratched you up that way?” “I scratched him,' too.” “Don’t you say a word about it to Aunt Deel. Don’t ever speak o’ that miserable melon ag’in to anybody. You scoot around to the barn, an’ I'll be there In a minute and fix' ye up.” He went by the road with the tea and I ran around to the lane and up to the stable. Uncle Peabody met me there in a moment and brought a pail of water and washed my face so that I felt and looked more respect­ able. Tlie worst was over for that day, but the Baynes-Wills fend had begun. It led to many a fight in the school yard and on the way home. We were so evenly matched that our quarrel w ent on for a long time and gathered intensity as it continued. One June day Uncle Peabody and I, from down in the fields, saw a five carriage drive In at our gate. He stopped and looked intently. "Jerusalem four-corners!" he ex­ claimed. "It’s Mr. and Mrs. Horace Bunkelberg.” My heart beat fast at thought of the legendary Dunkelbergs. Uncle looked me over from top to toe. "Heavens!” he exclaimed. “Go down to the brook and wash the mud off yer feet an’ legs.” I ran for the brook and before I had returned to my uncle I heard the horn blow. “The Dunkelbergs!—the Dunkel­ bergs! Come quick!” it seemed to say. Mr. Dunkelberg was-a big, broad- shouldered, solemn-looking man. Some­ how his face reminded me of a lion’s which I had seen’in one of my pic­ ture books. He had a thick, long, out­ standing mustache and side whiskers, and deep-set eyes and heavy eyebrows. He stood for half a moment looking down nt me from a great height with his right hand in bis pocket. I heard a little Jingle of coins down where his hand was. It excited my curios­ ity. He took a step toward me and I retreated. I feared, a little, this big, lion-like man. My fears left me suddenly when he spoke in a small stpieaky voice that reminded me of the chirping of a bird. "Little boy, come here and I will make you a present,” said he. It reminded me of my disappoint­ ment when uncle tried to shoot his Fun at a squirrel and only the cap cracked. I went to him and he laid a silver piece in the palm of my hand. Aunt Deel began to hurry about getting din­ ner ready while Uncle Peabody and I snt down on the porch with our guests, among whom was a - pretty, blue-eyed girl of about my own age, with long, golden-brown hair that hung in curls. “Sally, this is Barton Baynes—can’t you shake hands with him?” said Mrs. Dunkelberg. With a smile the girl came and of-- fered me her hand and made a funny bow and said that she was glad to see me. I took her hand awkwardly and made no reply. I had never seen many girls. an<Lhad no Very high opin­ ion of them. As we sat there I heard the men talking about the great Silas Wright, who had just returned to his. home in Canton. He had not entered my consciousness until then. While I sat listening I felt a tweak of my hair, and looking around I saw the Dunkelberg girl standing behind me with a saucy smile on her face. “Won’t you come and play with me?” she asked. I took her out in the garden to show her where my watermelon bad lain. At the moment I couldn’t think of anything else to show her. As we walked along I observed that her feet were in dainty shiny button-shoes. Suddenly I began to be ashamed of my feet that were browned by the sunlight and scratched by the briers. The absent watermelon didn’t seem to interest her. “Lcttfe play {house In the grove,” said she, and showed me how to build a house by laying rows of stones with an opening for a door. “Now you be my husband,” said she. Oddly enough I had heard of hus­ bands but had only a shadowy notion of what they were. I knew that there was none in "our house. “What’s that?” I asked. She laughed and answered: “Some­ body that a girl is married to.” “You mean a father?” “Yes.” “Once I had a father,” I boasted. “Well, we’ll play we’re married and that you have just got home from a journey. You go out in the woods and then you come home and TH meet you at the door.” I did as she bade me but I was not glad enough to see her. . “You must kiss me,” she prompted in a whisper. I kissed her very swiftly and gin­ gerly—like one picking up a hot coal —and she caught me in her arms and kissed me three times while her soft hair threw its golden veil over our faces. “Oh, Pm so glad to see you,” she said as she drew away from me and shook back her hair. “Golly! this is fun!” I said. “Now go to sleep and TH tell you a story,” said she. Then she told pretty tales of fair­ ies and of grand ladies and noble gen­ tlemen who wore gold coats and swords and diamonds and silks, and said wonderful words in such a won­ derful way. I dare say it prospered all the better in my ears because of the mystery by which its meanings were partly hidden. I had many questions to ask and she told me what were fairies and silks and diamonds and grand ladies and noble gentlemen. We sat down to one of our familiar dinners of salt pork and milk gravy and apple pie now enriched by sweet pickles and .preserves and frosted cake. A query had. entered my mind and soon after we had begun eating I asked: “Aunt Deel, what is the difference between a boy and a girl?” There was a little silence in which my aunt drew In her breath and ex­ claimed, “W’y!” and turned very red and covered her face with her nap­ kin. Uncle Peabody laughed so loud­ ly that the chickens began to cackle. Mr. and Mrs. Dunkelberg also covered their faces. A.unt Deel rose and went to the stove and shoved the teapot along,, exclaiming: "Goodness gracious sakes alive!” The tea slopped over on the stove. Uncle Peabody laughed louder and Mr. Dunkelberg’s face was purple. Shep came running into the' house just as I ran out of it I had made up my mind that I had done some­ thing worse than tipping over a what­ not. Thoroughly frightened I fled and took refuge behind the ash-house, where Sally found me. I knew of one thing I would never do again. She coaxed me into the grove where we had another play spell. I needed just that kind of thing, and what a time it was for me! A pleasant sadness comes when I think of that day—it, was so long ago. As the Dunkelbergs left us I stood look­ ing down the road on which they were disappearing. That evening my ears .caught a note of sadness in the voice of the katydids, and memory began to play its part with me. Best of all I remembered the kisses and the bright blue eyes and the soft curly hair with the smell of roses in it. the movements of a frightened ser­ pent. In the silence how loudly the pencil seemed to hiss in its swift lines and loops. My aunt exclaimed “Mercy!” as she looked at the sheet; for while I knew not, then, the strange device upon the paper, I knew, by and by, that it was a gibbet. Beneath it' were the words: “Money thirst shall burn like a fire in him.” Shb rose and smiled as she looked into my face. I saw a kind, gentle glow in her eyes that reassured me. She clapped her hands with'joy. She examined my palm and grew serious and stood looking thoughtfully at the setting sun. I see, now, her'dark figure stand­ ing against the sunlight as it stood that day with Amos In .its shadow. IVhat a singular eloquence in her pose and gestures and In her silence I ^ I remember how it bound our tongues —that silence of hers! The woman turned with a kindly smile and sat down in the grass again and took the sheet of paper and resting it on a yellow-covered book be­ gan to write these words: ~ “I see the' longing of the helper. One, two, three, four great perils shall strike at him. He shall not be afraid. God shall fill his heart with laughter. I hear guns, I hear many voices. His name is in them. He shall be strong. The powers of darkness shall fear him, he shall be a lawmaker and the friend of God and of many people, and great men shall bow to bis judgment and he shall—” She began shaking her head thoughtfully and did not finish the sentence, and by and by the notion came to me that some unpleasant vis­ ion must have halted her pencil. Aunt DeeI brought some luncheon wrapped in paper and the old woman took it and went away. My aunt fold- CHAPTER II. I Meet the Silent Woman and Silas Wright, Jr. Amos Grimshaw was there in our dooryard the day that the old ragged woman came along and told our for­ tunes—she was called Bovin’ Kate, and was said to have the gift of “sec­ ond sight,” whatever that may be. It was a bright autumn day and the leaves lay deep in the edge of the woodlands. She spoke never a word but stood pointing at her palm and then at Amos and at me. Aunt Deel nodded and said: “Ayes, Kate—tell their fortunes if ye’ve anything to say—ayes I” She b r o u g h t two sheets of paper and the old woman sat down upon the grass and began to write with a lit­ tle stub of a pencil. I have now those fateful sheets of paper covered by the scrawls of old Kate. I remember how she shook her head and sighed and sat beating her forehead .with the knuckles of her bony hands after she had looked at the palm of Amos. Swiftly the point of her pencil ran over and up and down the sheet like P sing and djd sing while he wo-ted—. | songs that rattled from his lips in. a | way that amused me greatly.

A forced march to the upper room followed that event.

The autumn passed swiftly. I went to the village one Saturday with Un­ cle Peabody In high hope of seeing the Dunkelbergs, but at their door we learned that' they had gone up the river on a-picnic. What a blow it was to me! Tears flowed down my cheeks and I clung to my' uncle’s hand and walked back to Uie main street of the village. A squad of small boys jeered and stuck out their tongues at me. It was pity for my sorrows, no doubt, that led Uncle Pea­ body to take me to the tavern for dinner, where they were assuaged-by cakes and jellies and chicken pie. At Christmas I got a picture-book and forty raisins and three sticks of candy with red stripes on them and a jew’s-harp. That was the Christmas we went down to Aunt Liza’s to spend the day and I helped myself to two pieces of cake when the plate was passed and cried-because they all laughed at my greediness. It was the day when Aunt Liza's boy, Truman, got a sliver watch and chain and her daughter Mary a gold ring, and when all the relaUves were invited to coine and be convinced, once and for all, of Uncle Roswell’s prosperity, and be filled with envy and reconciled with jelly and preserves and roast turkey with sage dressing and mince and chicken pie. ■ What an amount of preparaUon we had made for the jour­ ney; and how long we had talked about it!

The story ex­ plained how they put the rope around the neck of the captive and threw the other end of it over the limb of a tree and pulled the man into the air. He stopped suddenly and demanded: “Is there a long rope here?” I pointed to Uncle Peabody’s hay rope hanging on a peg. “Le’s hang a capUve,” he proposed. At first I did not comprehend his meaning. He got the rope and threw its end over the big beam. Our old shepherd dog had been nosing the mow near us for rats. Amos caught the dog who, suspecUng no harm, came passively to the rope’s enjl. He Ued the rope around the dog’s neck.

The entire automobile industry has received with considerable satisfac­ tion the announcement that the answer to the pneumatic tire problem lias been fouud, and the most interest­ ing feature of this announcement is the fact that the statement is not based on theory, but on actual fact, in­ asmuch as the new tire filler which will replace air has been put to prac­ tical test covering a period of over 5 years and is already In use by over 50,000 automobile owners. This resil­ ient filler is not a liquid, and no inner tubes are used. The material possesses great resiliency, rides like air yet is not affected by punctures; will not blow out and doubles the life of tires. No spare tires or spare rims are needed. It differs from other so-called tire fillers in that it will not flatten or harden and is not affected by either heat or cold.Tests made by the Ford O w ner’s Club, Widney Resiliometer, Technical Universities and over 50,000 users prove that this remarkable tire filler rides like air over the roughest roads and every indication points to its acceptance and adoption by the auto­ mobile Industry as a successor to air In automobile tires. The material is manufactured by The Esseakay Products Co., 98-220 W. Superior St, Chicago, 111. Mr. J. A.

People In Cities, Towns and Villages Urged to Increase Their Efforts During Coming Year to Help . Food Supply. !Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) No less than one-fifth of the total food elements consumed by the people of this country is obtained from com­ mercial and home vegetable gardens. Under the present food situation of the world, the tendency and the need In this eountry is to Increase the con­ sumption of fresh vegetables. Back Yard Gardens. America’s cities, towns and villages almost without exception are full of large back yards and vacant lots that have yielded little or nothing. We have taken pride, too, in our spacious home grounds, but have given little thought to turning them to account Now, the food situation demands that every foot of ground suitably located be made to produce to its utmost ca­ pacity. City people have responded heartily In carrying out the govern­ ment’s program to use such back yards iind vacant lots for gardens. Yet a survey made in a number of cities where such gardening was carried on intensively shows that less than one- half of the available "land has been utilized. As commercial gardeners can­ not under present labor conditions raise enough vegetables to supply the demand in our cities, towns and vil­ lages, it is urged that people in cities, towns and villages in^ic-ct their ef­ forts during the coming year. Better Home Gardens. The extension forces of the depart­ ment of agriculture and of the state agricultural colleges are using all means at their command to bring about the raising of more and better home gardens in 1919.

To utilize corn stover to best advantage it should be used early in the winter, saving other roughages until later. Other coarse roughages may also be used to better ad’vantage by feeding them to dry cows and feeder steers, saving the more desirable roughages for breeding animals anil calves. Dry cows and steers may be wintered large­ ly on roughages alone by beginning to feed them earlier in the winter, be­ fore they begin to lose weight.

(Prepared by the United States D epart­m ent of Agriculture.) Something in the form of green vege­ tables may be had from the outdoor garden every day of the winter mouths throughout the greater part of the Southern states. Perhaps it may be nothing more than turnip greens or a dish of boiled kale, but it serves the purpose of giving the family much needed green food and puts iron into the blood. There is perhaps no vege­ table m ore delicate or appetizing than the universally grown collards of the Southern gardens. Fall-planted spin­ ach may be cut at any time during the winter, even when the ground may­ be slightly frozen, and it may be nec­ essary to plunge the freshly cut spinach into cold water to remove the frost. Certain of the more hardy varieties of lettuce, like Big Boston, can be grown during the winter with slight protection by means of straw’ or boards set at an angle on the north side of the row. Onion sets will give an abundance of early green onions for table use. There are quite a number of crops that will make a slow growth during the winter and furnish a con­ stant supply of green food for the ta­ ble.

PURE WATER IS IMPORTANT Required by AU Farm Animals, Espe­ cially by Sairy Cow for Maxi- . mum Production. (From the United States Department of Agriculture.) All animals require plenty of good, pure water. This is especially true of the milking cow, as. water consti­ tutes more than three-fonrtlis of the volume of milk. Stale or impure wa­ ter is distasteful to the cow and sht will not drink enough of it for max; mum milk production. Pit in Well-Drained Location Is De­ sirable Storage Place—Mound Over to Shed Moisture. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ment of Agriculture.) Black walnut is one of the most I rofitable woodland and pasture- trees; It is rapidly becoming scarce on ac­ quit of the important part it has play­ ed in the war, and the strong demand for the'wood for cabinet material, cas­ kets, musical instruments, furniture, etc. . The nuts for planting should be se­ lected, so far as possible, from vig­ orous trees producing gocd-sized nuts in abundance. If squirrels and hogs are not troublesome, the nuts may be planted this fatl, putting two nuts In a hole and covering with about 2 inches of soil well firmed. In many places the safest method is probably to keep the nuts over winter and plant them in the spring. For this purpose a pit, dug 8 to 12 inches deep in a well-drained, cool location, is a desira­ ble storage place. A layer of nuts, two nuts deep, is covered with an inch of sand, and so on until ail the nuts are stored, after which soil should be mounded ever the pit to shed excess moisture. Nuts mixed with send will keep quite satisfactorily Sn a cool cel­ lar. A bushel of walnuts contains from 1,109 to 1,400. depending ur-on the size of the nuts, or enough to plant an acre using two nuts in each hole, spac­ ing the latter 8 feet apart eqch way.

N.: U., CHARLOTTE, NO. 2--19ia After the mFIu -Fever or Cold Clean the Acidity and Toxic Poisons Out of the Digestive Tract Millions are now suffering from the after effects of the deadly “flu,” a fever or a cold. Their appetites are poor; they are weak, and they are waiting for their strength to come back. If these people could only realize that the return to health and str. igth would be greatly helped by giving at­ tention to the stomach—that is, remov­ ing the acidity and toxic poisons from, the entire digestive tract, making it act naturally, so that the body will receive the full strength of the food qaten—a great deal of suffering would be saved to humanity. Eveyyone knows that the disease it­ self, and the strong medicines that have been taken, upset the stomach, leave it hot and feverish, the mouth dry, the tongue coated, a nasty taste, and no desire to eat. This Is a poor foundation to build new strength on. Now, tens of thousands of peonle all over this country are using EATONIC for the purpose of cleaning these poisonous after-effects right out of the system and they are obtaining wonder­ ful results — so wonderful that the amazingly quick benefits are hardly ’mlievable, just as shown in the re- .arkable letter which is published upon the request of this sturdy old Civil War veteran. He is 77 years old. Read what he says EATONIC did for him; “I bid RH old soldier, past aev- enty-sereo years. I bad the Span­ish Inflnenza and it left my stomach In an awful shape. I tried three different doctors but got no relief.As a IaBt resort I sent and got a box of BATONIO and to mf great­est surprise the Yeiy first tablet I took helped me..

Government Justified In Stimulation of Pork Production—Sevenfold • Increase Over Pre- War Exports. Through Increased production and conservation we will be able this year to export seven, times out* pre-war average exports of pork products. With the heavy demands added in ear­ ing for the millions who have been freed from German oppression, the Department of Agriculture and the Food Administration are justified to­ day In our every action of stimulation of hog production. In the coming year the greatest world shortage will be In lats, and pork will help to save this situation. The efficacy of the policy of stimulated production has built up in this country supplies which will en­ able us to supply a very large part of the fat deficiency of the world. In beef there must be a shortage In Eu­ rope, due largely to limited refrigera­ tor ship capacity. All freezer ships available, however, will be filled by America, Argentine and Australia. The contribution made by the pro­ ducers of this country to the war pro­ gram as applying particularly to ani­ mal food products is illustrated by the following: Beports compiled by the U. S. De­ partment of Agriculture indicate an Increase In cattle of 10,238,000 head and 13,441,000 hogs. These figures were compiled to January I last. In this PeriodeIliere was a decrease In'sheep of 819,000 head. The indica­ tions are that this decrease will show an increase, according to recent re­ ports. Since January I unofficial informa­ tion Indicates an increase in hogs of not less than S per cent and not more than • 15 per cent, as compared with one year ago, with an increase in the-average weight Following the request of the U. S. Food Administration for an increase In hog production for marketing In the fail of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the increase may yield not less than 1,600,- 000,000 pounds more of pork products than were available last year. With­ out this Increase the shipping program arranged by Mr. Hoover regarding an­ imal food products would have been impossible. The dressed hog products during the thnee months ending September 30, 1917, amounted to 903,172,000 pounds, while for the corresponding months of 1918 the dressed hog products totaled 1,277,589,000, an Increase of‘over 374,- 000,000 pounds for the Quarter. During the same period for 1917 tll0 records of inspected slaughter of dressed beef showed 1,263,000,000 pounds as against 1,454,000,000 pounds for the three month period ending September I, this year.

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 15, 1919.NUMBER 27 WHAT FLU WAS IN MIND. Jte Wai Not Afraid of Having it, But Wlien It Attacked He Saw Dire­ ful Consequences. There was a man who waB not :: fruitl of the influenza. He spoke grandly of hie excellent state ot [ health, of his strong constitution, I of the power of his healthy body I to tlirow oil' disease. He disdained. r melt ihings as jniusks and sprays -,Hid preventative medicines. He J iokeii pitifully upon the . fln vic­ tim as a physical degenerate. flio ti, one night, while to all ap­ pearances he was tossing restlessly mi his bed, he walked the StreetB I of his town seeking to • quench an unquenchable thirst. Ho stopped his best friend on the stieets and begged hiiu to give him a drink oi water and was coldly repulsid He Iouked for water in places in which water had always beeu found before* only tu find no wa ter. He hailed a stranger with a traveling bag in his hand and asked him as a personal favor to give him a- glass of water. The stranger said he had a limited supply iu his bag that he was keeping for a friend and passed him by. The thirsty one walked ; iiutil be was faintand never a drop of water ionld he find. He awoke with a guawing thirst, a raging lever, and—the Au! There were several days and nights of fiery agony, with a de­ mon ol torture to sit with" mighty wi ight on his chest and methodi rally bent his hiad with a red hot Ir uimer. HiB teeth, which had iv.*r Ieen model teeth, dutifully niHslicaiiog bis food with never an Hrhc or pain, suddenly began to ache, twenty six "aches merged in utie grand pain. The demon of torture early in his illness dislo­ cated each joint in the unfortunate man’s limbs, which gave him days and nights of pain. And always there was with him a hot, hot thir-t that scorched bis very soul and wonid not be quenched. The doctor was called early in the game and spoke gravely of bronchial tubes and sudden pneu monia. Later in a disquieting nn derloue, he explained to 'th e 6ick ma i’s wife the serious conseqnen ce* of a weak heart in connection with the flu. adding the cheerful information that the victim appar ently possessed the weakest ol hearts. Thereafter,, when two- or more friends were gathered togetn er in quiet couferei.ee, the sick mun strained liis heariug to gati er the details of the funeral arrange­ ments. And lying, there he went over in his mind’s eye to the clig- 't est detail his imaginary funeral. The average mad, wiihbiit a trace of morbidness about him, a* certain periods in his existence, gets a peculiar satisfaction out of a minute conteinplatiou' of his own funeral. Lying here with, rattling bronchial tubes, threatened pneu­ monia and the deadly possibility of a weak heart, this sick, man re \iewed bis probable funeral. Hs could distinctly hear his friends greeting each other on the street ami saying one to the other. ttDid you know Smith was dead?” ‘ Yes; isu’t it too bad! He was a good scout." In bis. death, iolks Hoiibl overlook his' fau ts, and would only remember his goucf puiuts.

The Gun For The Han. An eight-inch gun, self propel Iiug on its caterpillar track aud prototype ot a fleet of similar mon­ sters that was being constructed for the American army when hos­ tilities ceased, was dcinocstratid uear Washington a few days ago. Tne tractor gun drove its 55,001) pounds of bulk up a 45 degree ra vine wall, developed a speed ol four miles ao hour on-a level sur­ face and demtdisbed trees with the same rutblessut-ss that its war hrother, the tank, showed iu action iu France. Price With The Farmer. Tbe price of cottou is in the farmers’ bands, in the opinion of Edward H. Inman, of Atlama, member of the disbanded cotton distribution couindtt.ee, appoin’ed by President Wilson. •‘If the farmer holds his couwi and markets it carefully at d doesn’t plant it. over the face of the earth this coming season, he can get his owu piice next sum­ mer and tor the following crop,” Tumanstated. Thecotton distri­ bution committee, Imnan declared, did more to stabilize the cotton trade than auy ot-hei agency. That’s Easy. President Wilson is reported as sajiug: ‘ I would like to put on an old suit of clothes and go tieliing; I would like to sit on the fence and chat with a farmer I happened to meet, while driving a horse and. buggy through the country; I would like to feel ftee to go and come when I please, but of course that can’t>be done ” Oh, yes it can—the people, the voters of the United States will pat you in a condition to enjoy the de sired freedom; they’ll do it at the next election, by the votes of Ien millions of freemen.

Theodort Roosevelt, which . occurred at hi home in Oyster Bay on Mondav ol last week, the country loses a gresr man—a man who no doubt had a larger following than any other Iiv ing man. For seven , years Colon? Roosevelt guided the destinies of th United States., and during his ad ministration many great things wer* accomplished, among them being the building of. ths Panama canal, settling of the great coal strike ano the peace terms between Russia and Japan, which won for Col. Rooseveli the Nobel peace prize of $40,000 The entire country will mourn the los3 of this striking figure. He was a fighter as Well as a writer, and while he had his shortcomings his fine- traits of character shone out and won for him the friendship and admiration, of the whole civilized world. Messages of condolence veie sent Mrs. Roosevelt from the rulers of manv foreign lands, togeth­ er with thousands of messages froan private citizens. But the greatest tribute paid to Roosevelt was by an aged citizen of his old home town, who, upon hearing the new3 of his death said: "If he’s gone—if he’s really gone, I’m thru. There is nothing more for me to live for il Teddy is never coming by here again.” Roosevelt was an American first, last and all the time.

Washington.—Thomas Watt Gregl ory, attorney general of the United State since 1914, has resigned because of “pecuniary responsibilities” and will return to the practice of law. President Wilson has agreed to his re­ tirement next March 4. Mr. Gregory’s letter of resignation dated January 9, and the President’s reply, cabled from Pari.s the next day, were made public at the White House. The attorney general's letter disclosed that he had long considered retiring from office and had discussed the matter with the President before Mr. Wilson went abroad. Mr. Gregory’s successor has not been appointed, and there has been no official intimation ah to who he will be. In speculation the name sof Frank L. Polk, counselor of the state- department and acting secretary while Mr. Lansing is in E urope, and Sena­ tor James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, were mentioned. Mr. Gregory is the second cabinet officer to resign recently on account of personal financial considerations, William G. McAdoo having retired last month -as secretary of the treasury because he could not support his fam­ ily 011 the cabinet member’s salary of $12,000 a year. Mr. Gregory is the fifth man to leave the cabinet during the six years of President Wilson’s administration. Others were Secre­ tary of State Bryan, Secretary of War Garrison, Attorney General McRey- nold.,, Mr. Gregory’s predecessor, who was appointed to the supreme court, and Mr. McAdoo, BOLSHEVIKI MAY BE ALLOWED • TO STATE THEIR GRIEVANCES A good bluff is meets a bigger one. nil right until it it ^sJjL ’"It A Coated Tongue? , What it Means A bad breath, coated tongue, bad IjViSsAaste in the mouth, h..igaor and debility, f »^ are usually signs that the liver is out of order.

Minob , 809 Hanovei Street London.—The British government, The Sunday Express understands, has proposed that all the different parties in Russia, includir f th /. bolsheviki, should present their programs to the peace congress in order to ascertain if it is possible to come to any under­ standing with any responsible author­ ity in Russia. The paper adds: “The French government is not hostile to this suggestion. There is no difference of opinion -between the British and the French governments and there has been no idea on the part of the British government to in­ vited delegates from Russia to attend the peace conference.” SUPREME COUNCIL OF PEACE CONFERENCE HOLDS SESSION Paris.—The supreme council of the peace congress, consisting of Presi­ dent Wilson and the premiers and foreign ministers of the four great powers. Great Britain. Fran-ce, the United States and Italy, met at the French foreign office for the first for­ mal exchange of views and to make arrangements for the 'procedure of the conference tomorrow, at which delegations will be present. The meeting was chiefly interesting in its personal aspects—bringing to­ gether for the first time in contact of the world’s best known statesmen, wEv are now the guiding figures of the congress. The scene as they as­ sembled was one of unusual activity. The meeting was an extended one. It was mainly for-the purpose of set­ tling new terms for prolonging the armistice, which expires January 17 and for detc\niining the number and composition of the delegations of the various countries for the sessions of the peace congress which Is abju-t to open.

Y.—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt died in his sleep early Mon­ day morning at his home on Sagamore Hill in this village. Death is believed to have been due to rheumatism which affected his heart. The colonel suffered a severe attack of rheumatism and sciatica on New Tear’s day but none believed his ill­ ness would likely prove fatal. The former President sat up most of Sun­ day and retired at 11 p. m. Abont four a. m., Mrs. Roosevelt, who was the only other member of the family at Oyster Bay, went to her husband's room and found that he had died dur­ ing the night. Mrs. Roosevelt telephoned to Colo­ nel Emlin Roosevelt, cousin of tlfie for­ mer President, and he came to the Roosevelt home immediately! Tele­ grams were dispatched to the Colo­ nel’s children, who were in other parts of the country. Two of the colonel’s sons, (Major Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Captain Kermit Rosevelt, are in service abroad. Captain Archie Roosevelt and his wife left New York Sunday night for Boston, where the captains’ wife’s fa­ ther is. ill. Mrs. 'Ethel Derby and her two children are in Aiken, S. C. Telegrams of condolence and sym­ pathy began to pour in from all parts of the country as soon as the news of Colonel Roosevelt’s death became known. The former President came to his home on Sagamore Hill from the Roosevelt hospital on Christmas day, bat a week later was stricken with a severe attack of rheumatism and sci­ atica, from which he had been suf­ fering for some time. The rheumatism affected his right hand and it be­ came much swollen. He remained in his room and efforts were made to ch&ck the trouble. Saturday the colo­ nel's secretary, Miss Josephine Striek­ er, called to see him but the Colonel was asleep in his room. Miss Strieker said no one had any idea that death was so near at hand. Flags were placed at half mast in Oyster Bay Monday. Son’s Death Broke Him Down. . One of the things that is believed to have contributed more than any other to -the Colonel’s breakdown was the death last fall of his son,' Lieu­ tenant Quentin Roosevelt, the aviator, In action in France. Colonel Roose­ velt bore the sorrow, of his. death,'with a fortitude that was In: keeping with his spirit In public life. He. suffered most poignant griefs in silence and tried to forget them by plunging .hard­ er Uian ever into his work. - News of the death of the former President was received here by Miss Josephine Strieker, the Colonel’s sec-' retary, in a telephone message from Mrs. Roosevelt. Mlss Strieker said that the colonel had suffered an attack of inflammatory rheumatism on New Year’s day and had since been more or less confined to his room. The attack of rheumatism settled mainly in Colonel Roosevelt’s right hand and Mrs. Roosevelt sent at once for a nurse in the village of Oyster Bay. His condition did not at first seem to be alarming and the turn for the worse is believed not to have come until Sunday night. In announcing Colonel Roosevelt’s death, lMiss Strieker said: “Mrs. Roosevelt called me on the telephone shortly before 7 o’clock, say­ ing that the Colonel had died early in the morning. She did not give me any particulars and I am leaving at once for Oyster Bay. “The attack must have been very sudden. On New Year’s day inflam­ matory rheumatism developed in Colo­ nel Roosevelt's right hand which be­ came very much swollen. Mrs. Roose­ velt sent for a nurse in the village and the Colonel was made as comfort­ able as possible. It did not occur to me at that time that he was serious­ ly ill.” Miss Strieker went to Oyster Bay Saturday to pay the Colonel a visit. She said. “At that time the Colonel was sleep­ ing in his room and I did not see him and there was nothing in the circum­ stances of his illness at that time to indicate to me that death was near. Mrs. Roosevelt called me this morn­ ing and told me of the Colonel’s death. I could hardly believe it. “Mrs. Roosevelt gave me no particu­ lars of his death.” It is understood that only Mrs. Roosevelt and the nurse were with him at the time pf his death. The oth­ er members of the family are in other parts of the -country or abroad. A telephone message received later from Oyster -Bay said that Colonel Roosevelt had died at 4 a. m. Been Unwell Past Year. New York. — Colonel Roosevelt’* last illness may be said to date from last February. On February 5 it was announced he had been removed from his home in Oyster Ba;' to the Roose­ velt hospital in this city, following an operation on one of his ears. Soon after his arrival at the hospital he un­ derwent two more operations for the removal of diseased tissues in his in­ fected ear and it was admitted at the time he'was seriouuly ill.

Colonel Roosevelt’s career has left such a vivid impression upon the peo-. pie of his time that it is necessary to touch but briefly upon some of the *>re striking phases of his varied, interesting and “strenuous” life to re­ call to the public mind full details of his many exploits and experiences. Called to the White House in 1901, after President McKinley had been as­ sassinated, Colonel Roosevelt, 42 years of age, became the youngest President the United States has ever had. Three years later he was elected As Presi­ dent by the largest popular vote a President had received. Thus RoosevelL sometimes called a half-sick, isn’t resting, eating and act- man of destiny, served for seven years ing naturally—look, Mother! see if , as the nation’s chief magistrate.

His father, a glass importer and a man of means, was his constant companion; he kept a diary; he read so much history and fictional books of adventure that he was known as a bookworm; he took boxing lessons; he was an amateur naturalist; and at the age of 17 he entered Harvard University. There, he was not as prominent as some oth­ ers In an athletic way, as it is not re­ corded that he “made” the baseball and football teams, but his puny body had undergone a metamorphosis and before graduation he became one of the champion boxers of the college. This remarkable physical development was emphasized by something which took place shortly after he left Har­ vard in 1880. He went- to Europe, climbed the Matterhorn, and as a re­ sult was elected a member of the Al­ pine Club of London—an organization of men who had performed notable feats of adventure. A few months after his graduation Roosevelt married Miss Alice Lee of Boston. She died -in 1884, leaving one child, Alice, now the wife of Repre­ sentative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio. In 1886 Roosevelt married Miss Edith Kermit Carow of New York, and to them five children were born—Edith, now the wife of Dr. Richard Derby, and four sons, Theodore, Jr., KermtL Ar­ chibald and Quentin. The public career of the man who was to become President began not long after he left college. HiB pro­ fession was law but the activities that were to come left him no time in which to practice it. In 1882, 1883 and 1884 he was elected to the New York State Assembly, where his efforts on behalf of good government and civil service reform attracted attention. When the RepuhIican national con­ vention of 1884 was held in Chicago, he was chairman of the New York State delegation, After this experience he dropped out of politics for two years. Going west, he purchased ranches along the 'Lit­ tle Missouri river, in North Dakota, and divided his time between outdoor sports, particularly hunting, and lit­ erary work. Here he laid the founda­ tion for his series of books, “The Win­ ning of the West,” which was pub­ lished from 1889 to 1896, and of other volumes of kindred character. Returning to New York he became the Republican cadidate for mayor, in 1886. He was defeated. President Harrison in 1889 appointed him a member of the United States Civil Service Commission and President Cleveland continued him In this of­ fice, which he resigned in 1895 to be­ come New York city’s police commis­ sioner. “A thing that attracted me to this office," Roosevelt said at the time he accented this appointment, “was that it was to be done in the hurly-burly, for I don’t like cloister life.” Hanestly was the watchword of this adminis­ tration, and the two years of his occu­ pancy became memorable through the reforms he inaugurated, attracting the nation’s attention while holding a po­ sition which was obscure in compari­ son with the events to come. Illicit liquor traffic, gambling, vice in gen­ eral—of these evils he purged the city in the face of corrupt political oppo­ sition, and the reputation he establish­ ed as a reformer won him the per­ sonal selection by President McKinley as assistant secretary of the navy, in 1897. A year later the Spanish Amer­ ican war broke out. The Roosevelt temperament did not allow the man to retain a deputy cab­ inet position with war offering some­ thing more exciting. Leonard Wood, now a major-general in France, was then President McKinley’s physician and one of Roosevelt’s staunchest friends. The famous Rough Riders were or-, ganized by Wood and Roosevelt—a band of fighting men the mention of whose name today suggests immedl ately the word “Roosevelt.” They came o u t' of the west—plainsmen, miners, rough and ready fighters who were natural marksmen and Wood be­ came tfieir colonel and “Teddy,” as he had become familiarly called by the public, their lieutenant-colonel. In company with the regulars of the army they took transports to Cuba, landed at -Santiago and were soon en­ gaged in the thick of battle. Among the promotions which this hardy reg­ iment’s gallantry brought about were those of Wood to brigadier-general and Roosevelt to colonel—and this title Theodore Roosevelt cherished until the end. Some of the Rough Riders formed the military escort when he was elected President a few years later. When Cuba had been liberated, Roosevelt returned to New York. A gubernatorial campaign was in swing, with the Republican party in need of a capable candidate. Roosevelt was nominated. Van Wyck, his Democrat­ ic opponepL was defeated. The reforms Roosevelt had favored as assembly­ man he now had the opportunity to consummate, together with others of more importance, and it was during this administration that he is said to have earned the hostility of corpora­ tions. When the Republican national convention was held in Philadelphia in 1900 his party in New York State demanded and obtained his nomina­ tion for Vice President on the ticket with William McKinley. In November of that year this ticket was elected. The policies of McKinley. Roosevelt endeavored to carry out after he suc­ ceeded the former upon the Presi­ dent’s tragic deaith at the hands of an assassin. Roosevelt retained his pre­ decessor's cabinet as his own and he kept in office the ambassadors and ministers whom McKinley had ap­ pointed. As much as two years before the presidential campaign of 1904 Re­ publican organizations in various States began endorsing him as their next candidate. It was thus that “the man of des­ tiny” idea became associated with his life. Ostensibly, Roosevelt, leav­ ing the governorship of New York to become Vice PresidenL was moving forward from. state politics into na­ tional politics, so his political oppo­ nents professed publicly to believe; but it was their secret desire to "shelve” the man and eliminate him from prominence in their own commu­ nity, it was said, that prompted these political foes to obtain for him the vice presidential nomination, which he personally did not desire. At the height of his public and po­ litical career, during the four years of the term for which he had been elect­ ed, Roosevelt accomplished achieve­ ments which historians will rank high In the international and industrial process of the country. They includ­ ed his influential negotiations which, conducted at Portsmouth, N. H.. ef­ fected peace between Russia and Ja­ pan; maintenance of the Monroe doc­ trine at a period when European pow­ ers were interested in the affairs of Venezuela; the recognition of Panama as a republic and his treaty with Panama by which the inter-ocean ca­ nal through that country was put un­ der way; and the settlement, through his moral influence in the face of a situation in which there was no ade- qute federal legislation, of the Penn­ sylvania coal mine strike. For his part in terminating the Russo-Japan­ ese conflict, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906. Four years later, once more a private citizen, he was special ambassador for the United States at the funeral of King Edward VII of England. A rift in the friendship between Roosevelt and his successor as Presi- denL William Howard TafL led to the former’s announcement of his opposi­ tion to -Mr. Tafts’ renomination. The ex-President’s influence had been large in placing Mr. Taft in the White 'House. Now his influence was equally strong in preventing Mr. Taft from remaining there. ' Men vyho had clash­ ed with the Taft policies quickly ral­ lied to Roosevelt’s supporL Roose­ velt assembled what he termed as con­ structive ideas as opposed to the con­ servative ones of the so-called Re­ publican “Old Guard,” characterized' them with -the description of "Pro­ gressive" and organized the Progrs- sive party by withdrawing with his followers from the Chicago convention of 1912. He became the.new party's candidate for President. This split in the Republican party resulted in Woodrow Wilson’s election. One of the most dramatic incidents In Roosevelt’s life occurred during this campaign. As he wa3 leaving a hotel, in Milwaukee, to go to a meeting hall to make a political address, a man standing among the spectators in the street fired a shot which struck the Colonel and smashed a rib. Roosevelt insisted he was not seriously hurt and his automobile conveyed him to the hall. There he spoke to an audience which had knowledge .of . what had happened—sobbing women and grave- faced men shaken with emotion by his appearance under such circumstances. Examination of the wound showed it was serious and the candidate was hurried by special train to .Chicago for treatment. Though he speedily re­ covered the bullet was never removed. The assassin was sent to an asylum for the insane. Roosevelt after leaving the White House devoted hih life largely to liter­ ary work, hunting and exploration. He became contributing editor to The Outlook In 1909, continuing this for five years, and later held editorial positions with The Metropolitan and the Kansas City Star. From 1882 to 1917 he published about fifty volumes of works covering the wide range of natural history, hunting, biography, the Rough Riders, Americanism, Na­ tionalism, conservation of womanhood and childhood, animals,' exploration, the world war and America’s partici­ pation In it, an dhis autobiography. His hunts for big game and his zest for exploration took him into the Ameri­ can wesL the heart of Africa and the wilderness of Brazil. Upon his return from his African journey—a return during, which he made triumphant entries into Euro­ pean capitals and was received by na­ tions’ rulers, including the Fhnperor of Germany—he arrived in.New York to experience what was generally con­ ceded to be the greatest ovation an American private citizen was ever ac­ corded by the people of his country. This was in 1910. At the head of an exploring party in South America in 1914 he discovered and followed for 600 miles-a Madeira river tributary which the Brazilian government subse­ quently named in his honor, Reo Theodora. This was the famous “River of Doubt"—so-called because in many quarters considered authori­ tative it was questioned whether Roosevelt waa the first man to explore the stream. During this journey the president contracted a jungle fever which was held indirectly responsible for the abscesses which developed ma­ lignantly and required several opera­ tions at the Roosevelt hospital in New York CUy in 1918. Theodore Roosevelt, besides being a prolific writer, lectured and made pub­ lic speeches extensively, not only in his own country, but in England, Spain,,-Sonth America and other parts of the world. The facility wtih which he made political enemies and follow­ ers made him a -marked man for both the friendly and bitter attention of cartoonists and paragraphers. Quaint and picturesque phrases were coined •liberally by him and by others concern­ ing him. “Speak softly and use the big stick,” “weasel words,” “pussy­ foot,” “mollycoddle” and “my hat is in the ring” Were some of the Roose- veltian expressions which attained wide publicity. The strenuous physical activities in which Roosevelt engaged at the White House included boxing. It was not un­ til about eight years after he left the White House that it was disclosed that during one of these bouts, which he welcomed as a means of keeping him in fighting trim, a blow landed by a sparring opponent injured one of the Colonel’s eyes. Later blindness of this eye developed. In the later years of his life two court suits, in which he figured in <me as plaintiff and in the other as defendant, winning them both, kept, Roosevelt before the-public eye.

I remember telling Wm as we went on over the rough road, between fields of ripened grain, oi my water­ melon and my dog and aiy little pet )ieo. I shall not try to desciibe that home 'oming. We found Aunt Deel in the road five miles from home. She had been calling and traveling from house to house Toost of th; night, and I linve never forgotten her joy at seeing rue and her tender greeting. She got into the huggy and rode home with us, holding me in her iap. Uncle Pea­ body and one of our neighbors had been out in the words all night with pine torches. I recall how, although excited by my retvirn, he took off his hat at the sight of my new friend and said: “Mr. Wright, I never wished that 3 lived in a palace until now.” He didn't notice me until I held up both feet and called: “Look a* there, lincle Peabody.” Then he came and took me out of Tiie buggy and I saw the tears In his eyes when he kissed me. The man told of finding me on his IiHle veranda, and I told of my ride -iviili Dug Draper, after which Uncle I1Pjibody said: Ttn goin’ to put in your hoss and feed him, Comptroller.” "And I’m goin* to cook the best dinner I ever cooked in my life,” said A nut Deel. When the great man had gone Uncle I’eabody took me in his lap and said Ttjry gently nnd with a serious look: “You didn’t think I meant it, did ye?—that you would have to go ’way from here?1’ “I don’t know,” was my answer. " ’Course I didn’t mean that. I just wanted ye to see that it wa’n’t going to do for you to keep on tippin’ things over so.” That evening as I was about to go up-stalrs to bed, Aunt Deel said to my uncle: '‘D(> you remember what ol’ Kate ■ M fl wrote down about him? This is his 25$ ®rEt Peril an’ he has met his flrstv" ‘-'fvf fireat man an’ I can see that Sile i '*■_ Wright is kind o’ fond o’ him.” I went to‘Sleep that night thinking of the strange, old, ragged-, silent woman.

I toad a chill that night and in the weeks that. followe’d I was nearly burned up with lung fever. Doctor eiark came from Canton to see me every other any for a time and one evening Mr. Wright came with him and watchf/d all night near my bed­ side. In the morning he said that he could come the next Tuesday morning If we needed him and' set out right after breakfast, In the dim dawa light, to walk to Cunton. “Peabody Baynes,” said my Aunt Beel as she stood looking out of the [> Tvindow at Mr. Wright, “that is one of the grandest, splendidest men that I ever see or heard of. He’s an awful smart man, an’ a day o’ his time is worth more’n a month of our’n, but he comes away off here to set up with a sick young one and walks hack. Does beat all—don’t it?— I'ycs!” “If any one needs help Sile Wright is always on hand,” said Uncle Pea­ body. . ■ I was soon out of bed and he came no mort; to sit up with me. When I was well again, Aunt Deel •said one day: “Peabody Baynes, I ain’t Vnrd no preachin’ since Mr. Piingborn died. I guess we better no down to Canton to meetin’ some Sunday. Jf there ain’t no minister SiIe Wright always reads a sermon, if he’s home, and the paper says he 'lon'i go ’way for a month yit. I kind o’ feel the need of a good sermon —ayes I” “All right. I’ll hitch up the hosses' mid weT go. We can. start at eight o'clock and take a bite with ""os an’ ;'i(- back here by’ three." 1 bad told Aunt DeeI what Sally said of my personal appearance, i “Your coat is good enough for any­ body—ayes!” said she. “I’ll make you a pnIr o’ breeches an’ then I guess you won’t have to be ’shamed no jniore.” She' had spent several evenings mak­ ing them out of an old gray flannel petticoat of hers and had put two pockets in them of which I was very proud. They came just to the tops of ray shoes, which pleased me, for thereby the glory of my new shoes suffered no encroachment. The next Sunday after they were finished we had preaching in the schoolhouse and I was eager to go and wear my wonderful trousers. Un­ cle Peabody said that he didn’t know whether -his leg would hold out or not “through a whole meetin’.” His left leg was lame from a wrench and pained him if he sat long in one po­ sition. I greatly enjoye'd this first public exhibition of my new trous­ ers. I remember praying in silence, as we sat down, that Uncle Peabody’s leg would hold out. Lator, when the long sermon-had begun to weary me, I prayed that it would not. It was a beautiful summer morning as we drove down the Iiills and from the summit of the last high ridge we could see the smoke of a steamer looming over the'St. Lawrence and the big buildings of Canton on the distant flats below us. My heart beat fast when I reflected that I should soon see Mr. Wright and the Dunkel- bergs. I had lost a little of my inter­ est in Sally. Still I felt, sure that when she saw my new breeches slie would conclude that I was a person not to be trifled with.. When we got to Canton people were flocking to the big stone Presbyterian church. It was what they called a “deacon’s meeting.” I remember that Mr. Wright read from the Scriptures, and having explained that there was no minister in the village, read one of Mr. Edwards’ sermons, in the course of which I went to sleep on the arm of my aunt. She awoke me when the service had ended, and whispered: “Come, we’re goin’ down to speak to Mr. Wright.” I remember Mr. Wright kissed me and said: .“Hello! Here’s my boy in a new pair o’ trousers!” “Put yer hand In there,” I said proudly,' as I took my own hand out of one of my pockets, and pointed the way. He* did not accept the invitation, but laughed heartily and gave me a little hug. When we went out of the church there stood Mr. and Mrs. Horace Dun­ kelberg, and Sally and some other children. It was a tragic moment for me when Sally laughed and ran be­ hind her mother. Still worse was it when a couple of boys ran away- cry­ ing, “Look at the breeches!” , I looked down at my breeches and wondered what was wrong with them. They seemed very splendid to me and yet I saw at once that they were hot popular. I went close to my Annt DeeI and partly hid myself In her cloak. I heard Mrs. Dunkelberg say: “Of course you’ll come to dinner with us?” For a second my hopes leaped high. I was hungry and visions of jelly cake.and preserves rose before me. Of course there were the trousers, but perhaps Sally would get used to the trousers and ask me to play with her. “Thank ye, but we’ve got a goqd ways to go and we fetched a bite with us—ayes!” said Aunt Deel. . Eagerly I awaited an invitation from the great Mrs. Dunkelberg that should be decisively urgent, but she only said: “I’m very sorry you can’t stay.” My hopes fell like bricks and van­ ished like bubbles. The Dunkelbergs left us with pleas­ ant words. They had asked me to shake hands with Sally, but I had clung to my aunt’s cloak and firmly refused to make any advances. Slow­ ly- and without a word we walked across the park toward the tavern sheds. We had started away up tire South road when, to my surprise, Aunt Deei mildly attacked the Dnnkelbergs. “These here village folks like to be waited on—ayes!—an’ they’re aw­ ful anxious yon should come to see ’em when ye can’t—ayes!—b.ut when ye git to -the village they ain’t nigh so anxious—no they ain't I” In the middle of the great cedar swamp near Little River Aunt Deel got out the lunch basket and I sat down on the buggy bottom between their legs and leaning against the dash. So disposed we ate our luncheon of fried cakes and bread and butter and maple sugar and cheese. What an efficient cure for good health were the doughnuts and cheese ami sugar, especially if they were mixed with tiie idleness of a Sunday. I had a headache also and soon fell asleep. The sun was low when they awoke me in our dooryard. I soon discovered that the Dunkel- bergs had fallen from their high es­ tate in our home and that Silas Wright, Jr., had taken their place in the conversation of Aunt Deel. CHAPTER IV. In the Light of the Candles. One day the stage, on its way to Ballybeen, came to our house and left a box and a letter from Mr. Wright, addressed to my uncle, which read: “Dear Sir—I send herewith a box of books and magazines in the hope that you or Miss Baynes will read them aloud to my little partner and in doing so get some enjoyment and profit for yourselves. “Yours respectfully, “S. WRIGHT, JR. “P. S.—When the contents of the box have duly risen into your minds will you kindly see that it does a like service to your neighbors in School District No. 7? S. W. Jr.” “I guess Bart has made a friend o’ this great man—sartin ayes!” said Aunt Deel. ‘I wonder who’ll be the next one?” The work of the day ended, the candles were grouped near the edge of the table and my aunt's armchair I She Had Spent Several Evenings Making Them Out of an Old Gray Flannel Petticoat. was placed beside them. Then I sat on Uncle Peabody’s lap by the fire or, as time went on, in my small chair beside him, while Aunt Deel adjusted her spectacles and began to read. I remember vividly the evening we took out the books and tenderly felt their covers and read their titles. There were “Cruikshanks’ Comic Alma­ nac” and “Hood’s Comic Annual” ; tales by Washington Irving and James K. Paulding and Nathaniel Hawthorne and Miss Mitford and Miss Austin; the poems of John Milton and Felicia Hemans. Of the treasures in the box I have now in my possession: A life of Washington, “The Life and Writ­ ings -of Doctor Duckworth,” “The Stolen Child,” by “John Galt, Esq.” ; “Rosine Laval,” by “Mr. Smith” ; Ser­ mons and Essays by William Ellery Channing. We found in the box also, thirty numbers of the “United States Magazine and Democratic Review” and sundry copies of the “New York Mirror.” Aunt Deel began with “The Stolen Child.” She read slowly and often paused for comment or explanation or Iaughtep or to touch .the corner of an eye with a corner of her handker­ chief in moments when we were all deeply moved by the misfortunes of our favorite characters, which were acute and numerous. In those magazines we read of the great West—“the poor man’s para­ dise”—“the stoneless land of . plen­ ty” ; of its delightful climate, of the ease with which the farmer prospered on its rich soil. Uncle Peabody spoke playfully of going West, after that, but Aunt Deel made no answer and concealed her opinion on that sub­ ject for a long time. As for myself, the reading had deepened my inter­ est in the east and west and north and south and in the skies above them. How mysterious and inviting they bad become! One evening a neighbor hnd brought the Republican from the post-office. I opened it and read aloud these words in large type at the top of the page: “Silas Wright Elected to the U. S. Senate.” “Well I want to know!” Uncle Pea­ body exclaimed. “That, would make me forglt it if I was goin’ to be hung. Go on and read what it says.” I read the choosing of our friend for the seat made vacant by the res­ ignation of William L. Marcy1 who had been elected governor, and the part 1Khieh most impressed us were these words from a letter of llr._ Wright to Azariah Flagg of Albany," written when the former was asked to accept the place: “I am too young and too poor for such an elevation. I have not bad the experience in that great theater of politics to qualify me for a place so exalted and re^nonsible. I prefer therefore the humbler position which I now occupy.” “That’s his way,” said Uncle Pea­ body. “They had hard work to con­ vince him that he knew enough to be Surrogate.” "Big men have little conceit—ayes!” said Aunt Deel with a significant glance at me. The candles bad burned low and I was watching the shroud of one of them when there came a rap at the door. It was unusual for any one to come to our door in the evening and we were a bit startled. Uncle Pea­ body opened it and old Kate entered without speaking and nodded to my aunt and uncle and sat down by the fire. Vividly I remembered the day af the fortune-telling. The same gen­ tle smile lighted her face as sjie looked at me. She held up her hand witb four fingers spread above it. “Ayes.” said Aunt Deel, “there are four perils.” My aunt rose and went into the but’ry while I sat staring at the ragged old woman. Her hair was white now and partly covered by a worn and faded bonnet. Forbidding as she was I did not miss the sweet­ ness in her smile and her blue eyes when she looked at me. Aunt Deel came with a plate of doughnuts and bread nnd butter and head cheese and said in a voice full of pity: “Poor ol’ Kate—ayes! Here's some­ thin’ for ye—ayes!” She turned to my uncle and said: “Peabody Baynes, what’ll we do­ l’d like to know—ayes! She can't rove all night.” “I’ll git some blankets an’ make a bed for her, good ’nough for any­ body,' out in the hired man’s room over the shed,” said my uncle. He brought the lantern—a little tower of perforated tin—and put a lighted candle inside of it. Then he beckoned to the stranger, who fol« lowed him out of the front door with the plate of food in her hands. “Well I declare! It’s a long time since she went up this road—ayes I” said Aunt Deel, yawning as she re* sumed her chair. “Who is ol’ Kate?” I asked. ciOh1 just a poor ol' crazy woman— wanders all ’round—ayes I” “What made her crazy?” Wh, I guess somebody misused and deceived her when she was young— ayes! It’s an awful wicked tiling to do. Come, Bart—go right up to bed now. It’s high time—ayes!” “I want to wait ’til Uncle Peabody comes back,” said I. “m y ? ” “I—I’m afraid she’ll do somethin' to Mm." “Nonsense! 01' Kate is just as harm­ less as a kitten. You take your can­ dle and go right up to bed—this mini ute—ayes!” I went up-stairs with the candle and undressed very slowly and thoughtfully while I listened for the footsteps of my uncle. I did not get into bed until I heard him come in and blow out his lantern and start up the stairway. As he undressed he told me how for many years the strange woman had been roving in the roads “up bill and down dale, thousands an’ thousands <o’ miles,” and never reaching the end of her journey.- _ In a moment we heard a low waif abjive the sounds of the breeze that shook the leaves of the old “popple" tree'above our roof. “What’s that?” I whispered. "I guess it’s ol’ Kate ravin’,” said Uncle Peabody. It touched my heart and I lay lis­ tening for a time, but heard only the loud whisper of the popple leaves. Barton becomes aware of the existence of a wonderful and mysterious power known as “Money," and learns some of the things that its possession may accomplish. Don't miss the next installment.

IO.OC&IS.IO These newspaper quotations represent live cattle prices in Chicago on December 30th, 1918. The list shows price ranges on nine general classified groups with a spread of $13.85 per cwt —the lowest at $6.50 and the highest at $20.35. Why this variation in price? Because the meat from differ­ ent animals varies greatly in quality and weight - Although the quotations shown are in nine divisions, Swift & Company grades cattle into 34 general classes, and each class into a variety of weights and qualities. As a result of these differences in cattle prices, (due to differences in weights and meat qualities), theie is a range of 15 cents in Swift & Com­ pany’s selling prices of beef car­ casses. These facts explain: 1—Why retail prices vary in different stores. 2—Why it would be difficult to regulate prices of cattle or beef. 3—Why it requires experts to sudgecattle and to sell meat, so as to yield the profit of ^ only a fraction of a cent a pound—a profit too small to affect prices.

Important to all Women Readers of this Paper Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never ! suspect it. ■Womens’ complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy con­dition, they may cause the other organa to become diseased. You may suffer pain in the back, head­ ache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes you nervous, irrita­ ble and maybe despondent; it makes anyone so. But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by - restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. A good kidney medicine, possessing real healing and' curative value, should be a blessing to thousands of nervous, over-worked women. Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Eoot, the great kidney liver and bladder medicine will do for them. Every reader of this paper who has not already tried it, by enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N- Y., may receive sample size bottle by Parcel Post. You can purchase the medium and large size bottles at all drug stores. Adv. Defective Goods. JIother was attracted by the yells of her youngest offspring.

WHITTLE, Soil Improvemsnt Committee, Atlanta, Ga. Prosperity gloves on the horizon of the Southern fanner's future—Jf he will raise big crops. And the cry of a needy world rires, urging the Southern fanner to grow big crops of cotton and food. Kis obligation is to respond. He m tst fight on, for peace brings no armistice for the farm. Cotton is the hope of the ragged world. War-torn countries are look­ ing to the fields of the South for help. It will not be In vain. The Southern farmer will meet his responsibility. Prices at which cotton crop will be sold will be such as will pay the farmer well, for the fact will remain that the world must have the cotton. The food most needed in Europe is fat. Cotton seed, peanuts and soy beans of the South will find ready market for the oil or fats that they contain. Cattle, hogs and dairy products will continue to bring good prices because of the heavy live stock losses of Europe. The Southern farmer should p'tn with an expectation of improving bis labor condition, with the return < E tvoops and the shutting down of ammunition factories. Immediate Preparation. Preparation for spring planting should go rapidly ahead. Seed, fertil­ izers and other farm supplies should be bought without delay. Materials • on which the government has fixed prices will continue to be stabelized until they are consumed, so that there are no prospects of lower prices before spring planting.

British troops, says- "The arrival of Scotch iefantry in Ihe city caused the greatest ex. eiteroenf among the signteeere as Ihe TtUties swnug through the streets behind th< ir wailing bag­ pipes ‘•Thousands of folks hastily col.

" I ftel like a brand new man all over and have gaind thirty pounds in weight besides since I started taking Tanlac,” raid Levi Thomas, an em- p!oye of the Chattanooga Furniture Company, Chattanooga, Tenn. "I was frail and punv looking from years of suffering with stomach trouble, I had lost weight’ and strength until I was as weak as a kitten. Everything I ate gave me hourg-hf misery and I tried so many medicines without getting relief that I had begun to think I’d never be well again. I . was so nervous and rundown that the least exertion wonld tire me out completely. “ It may seem wonderful, but be­ fore I had finished my second bottle of Tanlac I was feeling like my old that have accumulated in Australia, I again and I began to buiid Argentine and otlier hitherto lnacces- 5 up.

Thei1O Is wheat enough avail­ able to have a white loaf at the com­ mon table. But last year the tale, was different. Only by the greatest possible saving and sacrifice were we able to keep a stead}' stream of wheat and flour mov­ ing across the sea. We found our­ selves at tlie beginning of the harvest year with an unusunlly short crop. Even the most optimistic statisticians figured that we had a bare surplus of 20,000,000 bushels. And yet Europe was facing the probability of a bread famine—and in Europe bread is by far the most important article in the diet AU of this Surplus had left the country early in the fall. By tlie first of the year we had managed to ship a little more than 50,000,000 bushels by practicing the utmost .economy at home—by whehtiess days, wheatless meals, heavy substitution of other cereals and by sacrifice at almost every meal throughout tlie country. In -January the late Lord Rhondda, then British Food Controller, cabled that only if we sent an additional 75,- 000,000 bushels before July I could he take the responsibility of assuring his people that they would be fed. The response of the American peo­ ple was 85,000,000 bushels safely deliv­ ered overseas between January I and July I. Out of a harvest which gave us only 20,000,000 bushels surplus we actually shipped 141,000,000 bushels. Thus did America fulfill her pledge that the Allied bread rations could be maintained, and already the American people are demonstrating that, with an awakened war conscience, last year’s figures will be bettered. for any kind of work and am gain­ ing every day.

President Wilson paid his respects to the Pope, while at Rome a few days ago, In addition he also ac­ cepted presents from this head of the Catholic Church. We are not ■ questioning the right of President Vilson to do as he pleases but the expediency, as a public official. We remember the general approval and apolause they gave to Col Theodore Ro'ifsevelt a fpw years ago when, as the ex-President of the United States he visited Rome but pointedly de­ clined to visit the Pope. Also, when Vice-President Fairbanks refused to call on the Pope while in Rome. In both cases it seems that the "honor” of a visit could only be granted upon the condition that both Col Roose velt and Mr. Fairbanks visit no Pro­ testant Church. This condition they Dromptly declined and hence never paid their respects to the PoDe and American neople applauded. Were the same conditions imposed upon ,Vresident Wilson? Catholiciam is a \over in the United States and is an frv&r growing' one. Public men re- c OKiiize and respect publican. -Union Re- As To Talking And Fighting. President Wilson, in his address to the American soldiers on Ghrist- itiai? Dav, said: "‘It has taken a lot of moral courage to stay at home.” Is it true that it has taken as much moral courage to go to war as to stay out of it? This may be a com­ forting thought to many who did not volunteer, or were not drafted, 'luring the war, but it is scarcely Kiving credit to the men who went across, and especially those who ■went over the top. It is very easy to talk about one’s courage, but rhere is no proof of it except by put­ ting it to the supreme test Many rjeopie will continue to believe that it takes more moral courage to risk one’s life than not to do it. At any rate it is to be hoped that we will never get into a just War with so much moral courage on tap in the population that no one will go to fight.

Greater Love Hath Na Man. The Mooresville correspondent of- The Statesville Laudmark, in writing of the Bed Cross member­ ship campaign, has the following to say: And we should rerneni ber, too, tbe Re:l Cross Nurses and the noble work they are doing. In this oonnecrion, if one wants a'con­ crete example of the sacrifices of ten made by nurses, take the case of the MoLein family here in Mooresvilie, all down with inflneu Zj,. It was impossible to. get a nurse here aod no one could be fouud to administer to the tlyini mother with a 3-mouchs old babe, the husband and two wore children all down with the disease and help­ less. A young lady, an orphan I am told, who had lately gradu ated as a nurse, was secured I:om Concord. She came and did he roic service. The mother of the family had exhausted herself wait­ ing on the others while she was ill, and when attacked by .pneumonia she had no strength to combat the disease. Death'daimed her in a couple of days. After the t’nneral the kindred and friends, the few who ventured in, left tbe nurse aloue to care for th« young baby and the other sick. Atier three days and nights, with­ out any rest or sleep, she complain ed of beiug sick and the doctor discovered that the nurse had in­ fluenza, with high fever. A car was procured and she was sent to her heme in Concord, on a cold wet night, so bad off that she couldn’t sit up. She took pneu­ monia and died iu a few days. Then another weakly nurse— weakly because she was JjHt .!.re­ covering Irimi an attack of iutluen za—vtas urged to go to the help ot the family. She atti-tided the baby ami waited on fhe sick for two days and nights, when &fce gave ot>r. and a third unrse was called iu. Tne baby was -then taken by i*& grandmother and in a few days the sick were able to be moved to the homes of kindred. Its not pleasant to taik about this oow. Many will say, poor Mrs. McLeau and the IitiJe orpban nurse are dead and witat’s tbe use to talk about it now? Ii’.i almost forgotten That’s why I am writing this- lest we forget. That poor nurse who had recently gra­ duated had nursed at the Jackson Training School at Ooncord and at Mount Amoena Ssminary at Mt. Pleasant, but. she got her rest at nignt. There was cobody to feed every two houis and to wa-h for Sue washed that child's clothes tbe day she left, when she was so sick she could hardly s^and on her fe"t. The good neighbors, after learning of the distressing situation, sent plenty of food and called on the ’phone, but none came in the honse, not even with a mask ou. They all passed by on the other side.. I don’t know how I would/ feel if at that Great Day I could hear the Master say to Mrs, McLpau and those nurses. ' Come up hless sed, for I was sick and you minis­ tered unto me; and then turn to a man «ho prizes his church mem­ bership highly and say. Depart from me, you worker of iniquity, for I was sick and iu trouble and you stayed right at home; didn’t even pass on the oth^r side Di part! Depart! You never had the spirit ot the Master.

We were hitohed to a wagon like horses and forced to draw wood fourteen kilometres all day long Dirty German gnards were con svantly insulting us at the point of IjiyooetR. We wore wooden shoes and for socks we used a windiugof fabric and paper. Scantly clothed and half siarved; we pulled our wagon through snow last winter that was above onr knees. “There were eighteen Amevieans in Tuchel. I had written pcBt cards to the Ked Cross from each town we had been in previously, but thay could never have been sent; for no answer was received nntil four months after we Teached Tuchei. It wan then (March, 12 , 1918).that the first Red cross par­ cel's arrived. These pai oeis s.ivVii j our lives. If we had been forced tu continne two months longer on the prison Iood and under the harsh treatment, I am certain most, of us would have died of star vafion ” This is the way a eood Norlh Omrolina boy was forced to live for 13 months while thousands of pris­ oners of Germany were quartered in American camps, rolling in lux­ ury and plenty of food to eat. Demobilize Farm Labor. Congressman elect Carl W. Bid. dick, of Moutana, has written a letter to Heeretary of War Baker nrging the early demobilization of agricultural Labor. He calls at­ tention to the tact that unless men in the army who have farm work waiting for them at home are soon released, it will be too late for them to assist in getting in the next year’s crops. Eo problem of ere Htingan excess supply of labor, given as one of the controlling fac­ tors iu demobilizatiou by the U. S. Department of Labor, applies in this case, as there is a serious shortage of farm nelp. Congress man Riddick’s pootrion is ap proved by tbe lattuers, not only of Montana, but of the country gen eraliy. CONSCRIPTION. “If you want a permanent peace; if you want to prevent the horrors of this war being repeated you must put an end to conscript armies on the continent of Europe.” Thus spoke David Lloyd George before a large gathering in Bristol on Wednesday Di*c. 11th. It is the truth. Say the command of his government. Is this democracy or autocracy? The evil of autocracy is what made America unsheathe her sword- - Charity and Children. Unpaid Soldiers. From the New York Sun. The collapse of the army pay what you will about conscription Itl8Yfiwni •" t^e var- has inti,t iid is abominable, undemocratic and wholly repulsive. A man is not giving his life to a cause when he is conscripted, the government makes the sacrifice when that life is lost. It was necessary for our government to enact the draft law, and it was perhaps the fairest law of the kind that was ever enacted. It knew no favorites but bore upon all our citi zens exactly alike. Under it this was no poor man’s war and no rich man’s war, but everybody’s war. What we deplore was the necessity for having any draft law at all. It is hard to force a poor fellow against his' wiil to endure the un­ speakable horrors of the battlefield, You mav say every man ought to be patriot enough to rally to his coun­ try's call of his own free will; and he ought to be. But if he is not, and on account of religious scruples or for any other reason declines to volunteer, it looks hard to bundle him up and send him across the sea by force. Many a fellow wh^ did not feel it his duty to go is today- sleeping in France. It is not worch while to raise any monument to him His was not the sacrificial death, for sacrifice means the laying of one’s life on the altar. That he did not do, but the government took his life and offered it up in the cause of righteousness. The volunteer is the ideal soldier and in fact the onlv real soldier, The conscript serves the country not because he want-^to- du so but because r.e dare not msnbey sufferiug on thousand^ and lentj of thousands of men, women and children. Thatsnfiering bus been patiently ecdnred. Bnt now, with the tighiiuu over, its victims de­ mand that the cause of the collapse of the pay system shall be revealed and that the faults of the system shall be remedied. Moreover, the people of the Uni­ ted States generally want to know «’hy the Democrats in Congress persistently refused to inquire into the pay system and its failure, und why, in the words of our Washing­ ton correspondent, the Democratic ehairinan of commiteees of Congress ‘•have not even called their com­ mittee’s together to act on resolu tions” to investigate this national scandal. Why did the Democrats in Con gress refuse to aid the suffers from this smash ap of the army pay sys- • tern? Must Board At Home.

Profits of the meat business—under regulations of the United States Food Administration — were limited 'to a maximum of Q per cent on capital employed but not to exceed 2H cents per dollar of sales. Swift & Company in the regulated departments earned 7.57 per. cent ‘on capital employed and 2*04 cents, per dollar ,of sales, out of which had to be paid interest on borrowed money and taxes. Here is how these earnings affect you. LiverStock Raiser— Swift & Company billed 14,948,000 head of livestock, wluch weighed alive, 4,571,500,000 pounds. Swift & Company made a profit of only a fraction of a ccnt per pound liveweight. Consumer— The sales of our meat departments were 4,012,579,000 pounds on which our earnings were less; than H cent per pound. The per capita consumption of meat in the United States is given as 170 pounds. If a consumer purchased only Swift & Company’s products he would contribute only about 78 cents a year, or IVz cents a week as profit to. the company. Swift & Company, t£ Si A.

The general indications are that the statesmen of the principal nations are steadily drawing together -on a structure which will have the support of all. It is understood that the general 'piau which is now most approved in substance by all the parties concerned rejects the theory of the super-sov­ ereignty of an international police force. It also contemplates the work­ ing out. as the development of the league progresses, of the most delcate queistiou of all—disarmament—which particularly affects the British navy. The same principle, it is proposed sital! apply to the other nations asso­ ciated in the war against Germany. Such a plan will delegate to various commissions and committees detailed problems which shall he reported with recommendations to the league it self. The probability of such a plan being adopted justifies previous fore­ casts that the principal accomplish­ ments of the peace conference as it now sits in Paris will be agreement on broad general principles, leaving the details to be nppEed in accord Therewith and the making of a pre­ liminary peace which will return the world at the earliest moment possible to its normal status.

KAISER LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE | FOR CRIMES OF VifORLD WAR I I Paris.—Some points in the reports to which Mr. Clemenceau referred, when he sad he had consulted two eminent jurists on the penial respon­ sibility of the former German em­ peror. were made public. The report was drawn up by Ferdinand Lairnaude, dean of the Paris Iatv faculty, and Dr. A. G. de Lapradelle, professoy of rights of nations in the same faculty. The object of the inquiry was to investigate from a purely judicial point if the crimes committed by the German government and army in­ volved the penal nesponsbility of the former German emperor, what tri­ bunal should judge him and whether his extradition could be demanded. The two French jurists prove thait the extradition of the former German •ruler cannot be refused, as he is cot a. political refugee. The report says: *:It is anti-judicial to assimilate war with conspiracy. Crimes of war are crimes of public law and interna­ tional law, not political crimes.” KING GEORGE BEREAVED BY DEATH OF HIS SON. London.—Prince John, the young­ est son of King George, died at Sand­ringham. He had been ill for some time. The prince was possessed of ex­ uberant spirits. He was the prime favorite of all classes and the idol of the servants and tenants at Windsor. It is said that he was the favorite brother of Princess Mary who loved to romp with him. The prince was born at Sandrigham July 12, 1905. Treves.—It is the convictio*n oi Marshal Foch that the Rhine must he I made the barrier between Germanv I* Iand France. He expressed thi3 clear-> Iy when he received American news I paper correspondents. The marshal is : here in connection with the meeting concerning the extension of the Ger man armistice. I Marshal Foch praised the work oi the American troops and said General. Pershing had asked that the Ameri- \ can forces be concentrated for an a t ; tack on one sector. The allied gen. ' eralissimo admitted that the Argonne-j Meuse front, where the Americans' began their offensive on September j 26, was a “sector hard to tackle.” The I marshal said he had told General Per-j shing: I “Your men have the devil’s own • panch. They will get away with all j that. Go to it” \ The American attack succeeded, the j marshal continued, “and here we are on the Rhine.” ] “This is for me,” Marshal Foch be- J gan. “a happy opportunity to tell you I all the good things I think of' the i American army pad of the part it I played on our side. “Your soldiers were superb. They came to us young, Snthusias1Uc and carried forward with vigorous ideal­ ism and they marched to battle with admirable gallantry. “Yes, they were superb. There is no other word. AVhen they appeared our armies were, as you know, fa­ tigued by three years of relentless struggle and the mantle of war laid heavily upon them. We were mag­ nificently comforted by the virility of your Americans.” DR. LIEBNECHT, SPARTACAN LEADER, IS PUT TO DEATH Berlin.—Dk Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg have been killed. When it became known that Doctor Liebkneeckt and Rosa Luxemburg were at the Hotel Eden, in the west­ ern part of the city, a crowd rapidly congregated- and stormed the hotel lobby to lay hands on them. Both were spirited to a side entrance to the hotel. A few blocks down the street the machine was halted by a second mob and when the presence of Fraulein Luxemburg became known a man jumped on the running board of the car and shot her through the head. In the meantime Dr. Liebknecht was hurried into another automobile by officers and troons and the car was headed for the Moabit prison. While going through the Tiergarten the ma­ chine was halted by a punctured tire. Dr. Liebknecht was asked to get out by the officers, who intended to hail another automobile, and continue to­ ward the prison. While waiting Dr. Liebknecht made an attempt to escape and was shot dead by soldiers who had anticipated such an effort on his part.

TAR HBEL LEGISLATURE ASKS WILSON TO RAISE EMBARGO Washington.—President Wilson was urged, in. a cablegram sent by a joint committee from the cotton states to raise the embargo on cotton. Senator Smith, of South Carolina, who' with Representative Lever, of that state, are chairmen of the senate and house committees, said the president was apr-aled to because It is believed im­ possible to enact during the present session legislation amending the cot ton futures aot Military Committee of Houes in Con­ ference With Baker and March Practically in Agreement Washington.—The house military committee "radically reached au agreement in conference with Secre­ tary Baker and General March, chief of staff, to postpone the war depart­ ment reorganization bill until the next session of Congress and with it a large part of the prospective debate over the future military policy of the country. A suggestion by Chairman Dent that a legislative rider on the army appro­ priation bill continuing the existing war organization of the department and the -gular army for another year, a substitute for the reorganization measure, met with the approval of of Mr. Bakerand apparently with.that of a majority of the committee mem­ bers. The proposal grew out of a confer­ ence at which Secretary Baker and the chief of staff explained the reor­ ganization measure framed by the de­ partment, providing for : a regular army of 500.000 men to be raised by voluntary enlistment on a flat three- year basis. The bill also would have made permanent the absolute control exercised by the chief of staff as a wartime necessity. Chairman Dent said it would be im­ possible to get such a bill through Congress in the present session. Com­ mittee members agreed, pointing out that the war department KU on its fa.ee appeared to be a military policy measure which„abandoned the theory of universal-military obligation. Mr. Baker insisted that this was not the case; that no attempt to fix the na­ tion’s policy as to a peace time army was involved. j One of Wilson’s Fourteen Points Is I Clearly Violated in This Franco- ! Little Nation Agreement. Paris.—The question of whether the peace conference is to be secret or wholly open to the eyes and ears of the world, the settlement of which has been long awaited was brought to a focus when it was announced an agreement had been made ,to confine the information given to the public to a daily official communique and that a gentleman’s agreement prevailed iuotig the delegates not to discuss or In any way give information of the meetings in the foreign office. The understanding is that the American and British delegates op­ posed this decision. The British newspaper correspond­ ents immediately joined in a memo­ rial of protest, which they put before Premier Lloyd George. The American newspaper correspondents united In what is virtually a round robin to President Wilson, in which they pro- tosted in measured terms against the decision, and reminded the President that one of his 14 points which speci­ fies "open covenants of peace openly arrived at.” F E D E R A T IO N O F LA B O R IN ■ FAVOR PUBLIC OWNERSHIP PRESS RELATIONS DELICATE WITH THE PEACE CONFERENCE Paris.—“The problems between the peace delegates and the press, that is. between the governments and public opinion is made particularly delicate," says The Temps, “by the following considerations: “On the one hand, equality of treat­ ment for the press of all countries must be assured. As the United States and Great Britain are reluctant to impose restrictions on their news­ papers. the only course is to allo.w the widest tolerance to all. “On the other hand, it would be harmful to lay bare to 'the enemy gov­ ernment differences of opinion which inevitably arise in discussions between delegations. The very essence of ev­ ery debate is that contradictions should arise. Such contradictions •will assuredly be reconciled, but it would be very unfavorable if .Ger­ many should know the details day by day and seek to make capita! out of them.” Washington. — Federal ownership, : operation, or regulation of public and , scmi-public utilities was recommend- ; ad in the report of the committee on I reconstruction of the American Fed- ! eration of Labor, made public after its I approval by the federation’s executive I council. I Government ownership of all j wharves and docks, federal legislation I to prevent child labor, and equality in j pay for men and women workers also I were urged. I The committee opposed the forma­ tion of a labor political party. Other recommendations by the com­ mittee included: The right of labor to fix its hours of work; no limitation on the -rights of public employes to organize. NECESSARY THREE-FOURTHS FOR PROHIBITION IS SECURED GREEK PREMIER WANTS PEACE CONFERENCE TO FORM LEAGUE Washington.—Ratification of the federeutl constitutional prohibition amendment made the Unftted States the first great power to take legtsla- Ilive action to permanently stop the liquor traffic. Nebraska's vote gave the necessary affirmative three-fourths majority of the states to make effective the amendment submitted by Congress in December. 1917. It was followed by similar a-ction in -the legislatures of Missouri and Wyoming, making 38 states in all whiich have approved a “dry” America.

September 20, 1017. The resolution said the speech did not justify any action by the senate. Paris.—Premier Venizeios of Greece In an interview declared that unless the league of nations is solidly found­ ed by the peace confeience, all the battles won and all the principles for which we have fought have been won and fought for in vain. Premier Veni- zeios said: “The society of nations may not, and indeed in all probability will not, be a complete building, with an im­ posing elevation, rounded columns and delicately chiselled cornices. That will come later, but the immediate future must have a modest, practical house in^wliich the peoples of the world can live in peace and discuss their trou­ bles quietly and reasonably.” DEMOBILIZATION SUBJECT HAS UNDERGONE CHANGE London.—TTie Central- News de­ clares that as a result of the allied discussion in Paris the whole aspect of demobilization has undergone a sudden and vtial change, this being shown in the drastic conditions de­ manded of Germany for a renewal of the armistice. “One authority of an unimpeachable character." says The Central News. “It can be stated that a situation ex­ ists in Europe under which war may break out'again at any moment. The allied war council has arrived at a decision which means that the Brit­ ish people have mistaken the appear­ ance of peace for reality." SWIFT & COMPANY. PACKERS, PACKED FOOD ADMINISTRATION Washington.—Frances J. • Heney, former chief counsel for the federal trade commission, in its investigation of the meat packing industry, told the senate agriculture committee that Swift & Company “had packed” thb food administration with “dollar-a- year men” who received large sala­ ries from the company at the time they -were serving the government. The truth or falstiy of this state­ ment will be investigated. ARMOUR COMPANY PAYS LARGE PROFITS ON 1918 BUSINESS Chicago.—The annual report of Ar­ mour Sc.

She had placed a lighted candle in the window because the instructions said to do just that thing. A lighted candle on Christmas eve would notify the carolers that music was desired and they would stop to sing. It was all quite simple. So the candle burned ever so brightly while the members of the family were busily engaged in in­ specting Christmas presents and wait­ ing for the community singers. - 'Finally the little boy began to play on his toy piano and there was consid­ erable noise In the house. Above the din, however, there came a sound from out of doors. “Listen, mother,” one of the children insisted, “make baby be quiet. Don’t you hear the Christmas carols?” Suddenly all was silent—that is, all was silent with the exception of the neighbor’s cat. Apparently it was sing­ ing something in German.

KEEPING UP WITH LIZZIE. Ete.. Etc. Copyright by IryingBacbeUer I BARTON LEARNS OF THE EXISTENCE OF A WONDER­ FUL POWER KNOWN AS “ MONEY.” Synopsis.—Barton Baynes, an orphan, goes to live with his uncle, Peabofly Baynes, and his Aunt Deel on a farm on BattIeroafl1 in a neighborhood called Liekitysplit, about the year 1826. He meets Sally Dunkelberg, about his own age, but socially of a class above the Bayneses, and is fascinated by her pretty face and fine clothes. Barton also meets Boving Kate, known in the neighborhood as the “Silent Woman.” Amos Grimshaw, a young son of the richest man in the town­ ship, is a visitor at the Baynes home and Boving Kate tells the boys’ fortunes, predicting a bright future for Barton and death on the gallows for Amos. Beproved for an act of boyish mischief, Barton runs away, intending to make his home with the Dunkelbergs. He reaches Canton and falls asleep on a porch. There he is found by Silas Wright, Jr., a man prominent in public affairs, who, knowing Penbody Baynes, takes Barton home after buying him new clothes. Silas Wright evinces much interest in Barton and sends a box' of books and magazines to the Baynes home. A short time later the election of Mr. Wright to the United States senate Is announced. CHAPTER V. The Great Stranger Some strangers came along the road those days—hunters, peddlers and the like—and their coining filled me with a joy which mostly went away with them, I regret to say. None of these, however, appealed to my imagination as did old Kate. But 'i; there was one stranger greater than i,; she—greater indeed, than any other ;i who came into Rattleroad. He came s rarely and would not be long detained. I; How curiously we looked at him, knowing his fame and power! This great stranger was Money. I shall never forget the day that my uncle showed me a dollar bill and a little shiny, gold coin and three pieces of silver, nor can I forget how carefully he watched them while they lay in my hands and presently put them back into his wallet. That was long before the time of which I am writing. I remember hearing him say, one day of that year, when. I asked him to take us to the Caravan of Wild Beasts which was coming to the village: ‘Tm sorry, but it’s been a hundred Sundays since I had a dollar in my wallet for more than ten minutes.” I have his old account book for the years of 1837 and 1838. Here are some of the entries: “Balanced accounts with J. Doro­ thy and gave him my note for $2.15 to be paid in salts January I, 1838. Sold ten bushels of wheat to E. Miner at 90 cents, to be paid in goods. “Sold two sheep to Flavius Curtis and took his note for $6, payable in hoots on or before March the first" Only one entry in more than a hundred mention money, and this was the snm of eleven cents received in balance from a neighbor. So it will be seen that a spirit of mutual accommodation served to help us over the rough going. Mr. Grimshaw, however, demanded his pay in cash and that I find was main­ ly the habit of the money-lenders. We Were poor but our poverty was not like that of these days in which I am writing. It was proud and cleanly and well-fed. Our fathers had seen heroic service in the wars and we knew it I was twelve years old when I be­ gan to be the reader for our little family. Aunt Deel had long com­ plained that she couldn’t keep up with her knitting ^jnd read so much. We had not seen Mr. Wright for nearly two years, but he had sent us the novels of Sir Walter Scott and I had led them heart deep into the creed battles of Old Mortality. Then came the evil days of 1837, when the story of our lives began to quicken its pace and excite our inter­ est in its coming chapters. It gave us enough to think of, God knows. Wild speculations in land and the American paper-money system had brought us into rough going. The banks of the city of New, York had suspended payment of their notes. They could no longer meet their en­ gagements. As usual, the burden fell heaviest on the poor. It was hard to get money even for black salts. Uncle Peabody had" been silent and depressed for a month or more. He had signed a note for Bodney Barnes, a cousin, long before and was afraid that he would have to pay it. I didn’t know what a note was and I remem­ ber that one night, when I lay think­ ing about it, I decided that it' must be something in the nature of horse colic. My uncle told me that a note was. a trouble which attacked " the . brain instead of the stomach. One autumn day in Canton Uncle Pealiody traded three sheep and twen­ ty bushels of wheat for a cook stove and brought it home in the liig wagon. Bodney Barnes came with him to help set up the stove. ITe was a big giant of a man with the longest nose in the township. I have often wondered how any one would "solve the problem of kissing Air. Barnes m the immediate region of his nrse, the same being in tin- nature of a defense. Tim' evening > was chiefly inter­ ested in the "stove. What a joy it frri. ine wKh its damper and grid- terest.” dies and high oven and the shiny edge on its hearth! It rivaled, In its nov­ elty and charm, aay tin peddler’s cart that ever came to our door. John AxteIl and his wife, who had seen it pass their bouse, hurried over for a look at, i t Every hand was on the stove as we tenderly carried it into the house, piece by piece, and set it up. Then they cut a hole in the up­ per floor and the stone chimney and fitted the pipe. How keenly we watched the building of the fire. How quickly it roared and began to heat the room! When the Axtells had gone away Aunt Deel said: “It’s grand! It is sartin—but Fm Trnid we can’t afford it—ayes I he!” “We can’t afford to freeze any longer. I made up my mind that .we couldn’t go through another winter as we have,” was my uncle’s answer. "How much did it cost?” she asked. “Not much differ’nt from thirty- four dollars in sheep and grain,” he answered. Bodney Barnes stayed to supper and spent a part of the evening with us. Like other settlers there, Mr. Barnes was a cheerful optimist Every­ thing looked good to him until it turned out badly. He told how he had heard that it was a growing country near the great water highway of the St. Lawrence. Prosperous towns were building up in it. There were going to be great cities in Northern New York. There were rich stores of lead and iron in the rocks. Mr. Barnes had bought two hundred acres at ten dollars an acre. He had to pay a fee of five per cent, to Grimshaw’s lawyer for the survey .and the papers. This left him owing fourteen hundred dollars on his farm—much more than it was worth. Our cousin twisted the poker in his great hands until it squeaked as he stood before my uncle and said: “My wife and I have chopped and burnt and pried and hauled rocks an’ shoveled dung an’ milked an’ churned until we are worn out. For almost twenty years we’ve been workln’ days an’ nights an’ Sundays. My mortgage was overdue, I owed six hundred dol­ lars on it. I thought it all over one day an’ went up to Grimshaw’s an’ took.him by the back of the neck and shook him. He said he would drive me out o’ the country. He gave me six months to pay up. I had to pay or lose the land. I got the money on the note that you signed over in Potsdam. Nobody ia Can­ ton would ’a’ dared to lend it to me." “Why?” my.uncle asked. “ ’Fraid o’ Grimshaw. He didn’t want me to be able to pay it. The place is worth more than six hundred dollars now—that’s the reason. I in­ tended to cut some timber an’ haul it to the village this winter so I could pay a part o’ the note an’ git more rime as I told ye, but the roads have been so bad I couldn’t do any haul­ in’.” ■ My uncle went and took a drink at the water pail. I saw by his face that he was unnsnally wrought up. •. “My heavens an’ earth!” he ex­ claimed as he sat down again. “It’s the brain colic,” I said to myself as I looked at him. Mr. Barnes seemed to have it also. “Too much note,” I whispered.' “I’m awful sorry, but Pve done everything I could," said Mr. Barnes. “Ain’t there somebody that’ll take another mortgage?—it ought to te safe now,” my uncle suggested. "Money is so tight it can’t be done. The bank has got all the money an’ Grimshaw owns the bank. I’ve tried and tried, but I’ll make you safe. I’ll give you a mortgage .until I can turn ’round.” - Sn I saw how Bodney Bal-nes, like other settlers in Hckitysplit, had gone into Iiondage to the landlord. “How much do you owe. on this place?” Barnes asked. “Seven hundred an’ fifty dollars,” snid my uncle. “Is it due?” “It’s been dne a year tin’ If I have to pay that note PU bo short my In-' “God o’ Israel! Pm scalrt,” said Uncle Peabody. Down crashed the stick of wood into the box. “What about?” “It would be like him to put the screws on you now. You’ve got be­ tween him an’ his prey. You’ve taken the mouse away from the cat” I remember the little panic that fell on us then. I could see tears In the eyes of Aunt Deel as she sat with her head leaning wearily on her band. “If he does PU do all I can,” said Barnes, “whatever I’ve got will be yours.” Bodney Barnes left us, and I re­ member how Uncle Peabody stood In the middle of the floor and whistled the merriest tune he knew. “Stand right up here,” he called In his most cheerful tone. “Stand right up here before me, both o’ ye.” I got Aunt Deel by the hand and led her toward my uncle. We stood facing him. “Stand straighter,” he demanded. “Now, altogether. One, two, three, ready—sing.” He beat time with his hand in imi­ tation of the singing master at the schoolhouse .and we joined him in singing an old tune which began: “Oh, keep my heart from sadness, God.” This irresistible spirit of the man bridged a bad hour and got us off to bed in fairly good condition. A few days later the note came due and its owner insisted upon full payment. There was such a clamor for money those days! I remember that my hunt had sixty dollars which she had saved, little by little, by selling eggs and chickens. She had planned to use it to buy a tombstone for her mother and father—a long-cherished ambition. My uncle needed the most !Uiimii!, “One, Two, Three, Ready—Sing.” of it to help pay the note. We drove to Potsdam on that sad errand and what a time we had getting there and back in deep mud and sand and jolting over corduroys! "Bart,” my unde said the next evening, as I took down the book to read, “I guess ■ we’d better talk things over a little tonight. These are hard times. If we can find any­ body with money enough to buy ’em I dunno but we better sell the sheep.” “If you hadn’t bOen a fool,” my aunt exclaimed. with, a look of great distress—“ayes! if you hadn’t been a fool.” . “Fm just what I be, an’ I ain’t so big a fool that I need to be reminded of it," said my uncle. ‘Til stay home an’ work,” I pro­ posed bravely. j “You ain’t old enough for that,” sighed Aunt DeeI. “I want to keep you in school,” said Uncle Peabody, who s a t' making u splint broom. While we were talking in walked Benjamin Grimshaw—the rich man of the hills. He didn’t, stop to knock, but walked right in as if the house were his own. It was common gos­ sip that he held a mortgage on every acre of the countryside. I had never liked him, for he was a stern-eyed man who was always. scolding some­ body, and I had not forgotten what his son had said of him. "Good night!” he exclaimed curtly," as he sat down and set his cane be­ tween his feet and rested his hands upon it. He spoke hoarsely and I remember the curious notion came to nte that he looked like our old ram. He wore a thin, gray beard under his chin. His mouth was shut tight in a long line curving downward a lit-, tie at the ends. My uncle used to say that his mouth was made to keep his thoughts from leaking and going to waste. He had a big body, a big chin, a big mouth, a big nose and big. ears and hands. His eyes lay small in this setting of bigness. ’Why, ytr. Grimshaw, it’s years since you’ve been In our house— ayes!” said AuntDeeL “I suppose it is,' s* v.nsv: n-ia rath­ er sharply, “I don t have ranch time to get around. I have to work. There’s some people seem to be able rto git along without it. I see you’ve got one o’ these newfangled stoves,” he added as he looked it over. “Huh! Bich folks can ’have anything they want.” Uncle Peabody had sat splintering the long stick of yellow fcirch. I ob­ served that the jackknife trembled in his band. His tone bad a touch of unnaturalness, proceeding no doubt from his fear of the man before him, as he said: “When I bought that stove I felt richer than I do now. I had almost enough to settle with you up to date, but I signed a note for a friend and had to pay it” “Ayuh"! I suppose- so,” Grimshaw answered In a tone of bitter irony which cut me like a knife^blade, young as I was. “What business have you signin’ notes an’ givin’ away money which ain’t yours to give—Pd like to know? What bus’-xess have you actin’ like a rich man when you can't pay yer honest debts? I’d like to know that, too?” “If I’ve ever acted like a rich man it’s been when I wa’n’t lookin’,” said Unde Peabody. “What businest have you to go en- largin’ yer family—takin’ another mouth to feed and another body to spin for?

I want to tell you one tiling, Baynes, you’ve got to pay up or git out o’ here.” He raised his cane and shook it In the air as he spoke. “Oh, I ain’t no doubt o' that,” said Uncle Peabody. ‘You’ll have to have yer money—that’s sure; an’ you will have it. if I' live, every cent of it. This boy is goin’ to be a great help to me—you don’t know what a good boy he is and what a comfort he’s been to us I” These words of my beloved uncle uncovered my emotions so that I put my elbow on the wood-box and leaned my head upon it and sobbed. ‘T ain’t goin’ to be hard on ye, Baynes,” said Mr. Grimshaw as he rose from his chair; ‘TH give ye three months to see what you can do. I wouldn’t wonder if the boy would turn out all right. He’s big an’ cordy of his age and a purty likely boy, they tell me.” Mr. Grimshaw opened the door and stood for a moment looking a t us' and added in a milder tone: “You’ve got one o' the best farms in this town an' if ye work bard an’ use common sense ye ought to be out o’ debt in five years—mebbe less.” He closed the door and went away. Neither of us moved or spoke as we listened to his footsteps on the gravel path that went down to the road and to the sound of his buggy as he drove away. Then Uncle Peabody broke the silence by saying: “He’s the dam’dest—’’ He stopped, set the half-splintered stick aside, closed his jackknife and went to the water-pail to cool his emotions with a drink. Aunt Deel took up the subject where he had dropped it, as if no-half-ex­ pressed sentiment would satisfy her, saying: “—old skinflint that ever lived in this world, ayes! I ain’t goin’ to hold my opinion o’ that man no longer, ayes! I can’t. It’s too pow­ erful—ayes!” Having recovered my composure I repeated that I should like to give up school and stay at home and work. Aunt Deel interrupted me by say­ ing: “I have an idee that Sile Wright will help us—ayesT He’s cornin’ home an’ you better go down an’ see him— ayes! Hadn’t ye?” “Bart an’ I’ll go down to-morrer," said Uncle Peabody. Some fourteen 'months before that day my unde had taken me to Pots­ dam and traded grain and salts foi what he called a “rip roarin’ fine suit o’ clothes” with boots and cap and shirt and collar and necktie to match, I having earned them by 'sawing and cording wood at three shillings a cord. How often we looked back tc those better days! The clothes had been too big for me and I had had to wait until my growth had taken up the “slack” in my coat and trousen before I could venture out of th< neighborhood. I had tried them on every week or so for a long time. Now iny sjtature filled them handsomely and they filled ine with a pride and saisfatdion which I had never known before. '!Now may the Lord help ye to be careful—awful, terrible careful o' them clothes every minute o’ thif day,” Aunt D eel' cautioned as she looked at me. “Don’t git no horse sweat nor wagon grease on ’em.” ERADICATE LICE AND MlTES Sodium Fluorid Makes an Effective Powder and Should Be Used Free- , .

Eggs may be perfectly fertile and yet hatch unsatisfactorily, and the first consideration must be the produc­ tion of hatching eggs with’ strong, virile, well-nourished germs. This can be done only by a careful selection, mating and management of the breed­ ing .stock and affording the eggs the proper care after they are laid. Health and vigor must be the first points to keep in mind when selecting the breed­ ers. The rule that good seed must be used if one expects a successful crop includes the chicken crop as well as those of grass and grain. The breed­ ing flock should include only sound,- healthy, well-fed stock, and all fowls that have at any time suffered from any serious illness or show any faults or defects, such as crooked back or breast, hawk-bill or snake-head, pale face, rattling in throat, foreign growths upon any part of the body, leg weakness or string halt should be promptly discarded.

T he railroad problem is today one of the most, if not the most, impor­ tan t and vital domestic Questions facing the American people. Our w elfare and prosperity depend on its proper solution. Therefore it is peculiarly necessary, that the facts regarding it be understood clearly; th at it be set­ tled not along partisan political lines nor in deference to the prejudices of any class; th at the American people face the issue boldly and dispose of it as courageously as they have alw ays done w ith every basic problem they have had to meet. L et mo say Immediately th at I have no pet theory to advance in .discussing the settlem ent of the railroad ques­ tion. A t the present tim e I am neither an advocate nor an opponent of gov­ ernm ent ownership. B ut while my tendency is against governm ent own­ ership and in favor of a wisely regu­ lated private ownership under strong federal control, I am frank to say th at I hid not afraid of governm ent owner­ ship should experience, gained By an adequate test, prove th at it is the best solution of the problem. W e are liv­ ing in a new day in A m erica; the world is throwing off old shackles; we m ust do w hat seems best in view of ascertained facts regardless of pre­ conceptions. I favor a five-year test period because I believe its results will tell us convincingly which is better— government ownership or private own­ ership wisely and adequately regulated under the superior authority of the federal government. Calls Attention to Problem. The recent suggestion I m ade-to the congress for such a test under peace while of great benefit to the public, are not relished by some railroad cor­ porations for competitive and there­ fore selfish reasons. Such improve­ m ents would result in great econo­ mies, w ithout which it probably would be impossible to reduce passenger or freight rates during the twenty-one ; m onths' period. It is impossible to carry forw ard an adequate program of improvements and to dem onstrate those operative economies which will cheapen transportation in a shorter pe­ riod than five years. M ust Keep O ut of Politics. I would prefer not to mention poli­ tics in connection w ith this problem, because prim arily It is an economic question. B ut we m ust not be blind. The American people have been dis­ cussing the railroads for generations; alm ost every man in public life has gone on record on some phase of the subject. In 1,920 there will be a presi­ dential election. It is idle to suppose th at under such conditions it will be possible during this or the next con­ gress to secure calm and deliberate consideration of the ultim ate solntion of the problem, much less a fair and adequate perm anent settlem ent. T his vital question m ust not be settled in the heat or passion of partisan poli­ tics’; it m ust be dealt w ith in the calm of an inter-presidential election period. Some of the opponents of the sug­ gested five-year extension of federal control appear to do so on the ground th at the operating revenues during the year 1918 will be insufficient to pay . the rentals guaranteed to the owners, j They forget th at m ost of the wage I increases granted to employees took effect January I, 1918, w hereas the Increased passenger and freight rates Salute Brother Officer j Even Though Bathing j Boston, Mass.—“Salute your I brother officers even though I they be In the bathtub,” declared Maj.

The suggestion m ost generally ad­ vanced by the opposition is th at the roads be continued under government operation for tli£ twenty-one m onths’ period after the war, as provided by the present federal control act, and th at during that tim e remedial legis­ lation (there is an u tter lack of agree- m ant on the details of such legisla­ tion) be enacted to return the roads to their private owners. T here are two reasons why such a course seems to me im possible; first, the roads cannot be operated success­ fully under the present act for twenty- one m onths with the prospect of their return to their owners a t the end of th at tim e approaching nearer every d ay ; and second, no adequate and fair rem edial legislation can be obtained within that tim e in view of Ute polit­ ical situation, and the lack of' crystal­ lization of the thought of the nation as to w liat is the best perm anent so­ lution: In discussing these two points, I rfiust be frank, for the American peo­ ple are entitled to frankness. This is their problem, and they are going to settle it sooner or later w hether cer­ tain interests w ant them to or not. The m ost serious- obstacle to going on w ith the present system of federal control under existing lim itations while the congress tries to w ork out rem edial legislation is th at of morale. Some purposely blind people appear to think this an idle argum ent, put for­ w ard to bolster up a plan. They do not know the situation. “No m an can serve two m asters.” Facc Stubborn Fact. T he railroad officials and employees of the United States are only hum an. If they see the end of federal control rapidly approaching, w ith their posi­ tions and their future the constant subject of partisan political contro­ versy,' and witli an entirely different systesn of control, which will vitally affect each individual employee, about to go in effect they naturally cannot work with undivided thought and a t the highest point of efficiency ; they will be thinking inevitably of the in­ terests of the private owners whose employees they will soon become, and they will pay less and less attention to tlio governm ent officials operating the roads. W here tbe interests of the Iirivate owners and of the government clash, as they unavoidably will In m any cases, employees will hesitate which interest to serve. Confusion and lack of efficiency are hound to result. This is not theory; this is a stubborn fact tliat m ust be faced. Already signs of the difficulty are beginning to appear. W ith other form s of industry this m ight not be so serious, but the prosperity and even the lives of mil­ lions of Americans depend upon the discipline and efficiency of the Ameri­ can railroad machine. Then, too, were the effort made to continue the present control under ex­ isting legislation, tbe railroads, from a physical standpoint, might stand still or oven deteriorate during the twenty- one months’ period. W ithout the co­ operation of the railroad corporations, it is difficult under the present law to carry forw ard improvements or to ob­ tain needed equipment. Alrtwdp many of IRe railroads are resintiu? pur­ chase^ of necessary equipment for their account. Many of she necessary inrorevements, such as joint term inals. uary I, 1918, a t the same tim e as the wage increases, there would have been no deficit. They also forget th at the. governm ent took over the roads when they w ere completely paralyzed and when the greatest congestion of traffic in their history w as upon them. It cost the government millions of dollars to clear up the congestion and get. the railroads running again efficiently. They also forget that blizzard followed blizzard, and that it cost much money to overcome their effects. They for­ get, too, that the price Of coal, of steel, and of other supplies w as for above normal during the past year. These added expenses all would have had to be m et had the roads continued under private control, and to pay for them, rates would have had to be increased. Private operation the past year would have failed utterly and the deficit would have been greater perhaps than under governm ent management. Economies Can Be Effected. TJnder peace conditions, and w ith a period of five years of federal control assured, it should be possible to m ain­ tain existing wages and working condi­ tions and to offect such economies, that reductions in rates, both passen­ ger and freight, ought to follow with­ in a reasonable tim e. Unquestionably economies can be effected under uni­ fied control th at cannot be practiced under diversified control. A lready the extra charge of one-half cent a mile for riding in sleeping cars, imposed as a w ar m easure, has been removed, and other restrictions enforced by the w ar are rapidly disappearing. U nfortunately some of the opposi­ tion to the proposed five-year exten­ sion is based on dissatisfaction w ith service given the public during the war. It is argued that conditions have been bad, although this is not true. It can be stated as a fact, which can­ not be successfully. contradicted, th at service has been greatly improved un­ der federal control, in spite of the trem endous demands th at . the w ar needs have imposed. H ere again It is forgotten apparently that the railroads were placed under government control for the purpose of winning the w ar against the German autocracy. The first duty was to move troops and w ar supplies. I have yet to hear a sound criticism of the m anner in which that pressing w ar need w as met. Millions of soldiers were moved safely and ex­ peditiously to the seaboard, and from camp to camp. Foodstuffs, munitions and other supplies were rushed to ships at express-train speed. The American railroads during the past year have functioned for the w ar pur­ pose. ' B ut even in the conduct of ordinary .iusiness, the record made by the rail­ roads shines by comparison with the record of private control In previous years when considered from the stand­ point of im portant traffic. During the fall of 1918, there w as practically no congestion anywhere and we were still at war. Remember the congestion on the railroads in the crop-moving sea­ sons of 1916 and' 1917. Toward the end of 1916 conditions became so bad tbat the interstate commerce commis­ sion made an Investigation. As a re­ sult, Commissioner McChord filed a re­ port in which he said that “mills have shut down, prices have advanced, per­ ishable articles of great value have been destroyed, and hundreds of car­ loads of food products have been de­ layed in reaching their natural m ar­ kets.” Also that “long delays in tran­ sit have been the rule rather than the exception, and the operations of established industrial activities have been uncertain and difficult.” Became Simple Matter. The accommodation of passenger* in peace times, and the proper at­ tention to the transportation of ordi­ nary freight, become a comparatively simple m atter once the larger ques­ tions have been disposed of. No prac­ tical, just and experienced man can honestly argue that government op­ eration per se has caused bad service. Already needed trains are being re­ stored ; crowded conditions are being rem edied: rules made necessary by the w ar are being done away with. I touch on such questions briefly In order that there may be no beclouding of the issue by the injection of false premises. No disaceomr.ioilation will result to the traveling or shipping pub­ lic by the extension of the period of federai control. The question merely is w hether wise and well considered remedial legislation for the return of the roads to private control can bo obtained under existing conditions within twenty-one months, and wheth­ er, even if th at were possible, the roads could be operated successfully, economically and satisfactorily pend­ ing the discussion by the congress and the country, and especially with ;he 1920 presidential campaign ap­ proaching. N either contingency being possible in my judgm ent, I see no escape from the conclusion that the period of fed­ eral control m ust be extended for five years, so that nn adequate test of uni-, fied operation may be secured under!' peace, not war, conditions, and neces­ sary im provements to term inals and other facilities be made, free from partisan political influences, or the railroads m ust be restored, to private control in the near \ future to take their chances under the old laws and conditions which governed them prior to the assumption of control by the government.

It. has always seemed to me that Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., should be placed near the top when a list of America's great benefactors is written. He studied and conquered ' liuma a diseases to a de­ gree that few realize. Whenever he' found a remedy that overcame disease, he at once announced it in the newspapers and told where it could be bought at a small ,price. He did not follow the usual custom •of keeping the ingredients secret, so that the rich only could afford to buy the medicine, but openly printed the name of •each root and herb he used.. And so today the names of Dr. Pierce and his medicines ■are widely known, and they stand for bet­ ter health and better citizenship. One of this great physician’s most sue- •cessful remedies is known as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. These are little, sugar- •coated pills, composed of Mayapple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap—things that Nature grows in the ground. These Pellets are ■eafe because they move the bowels gently, leaving no bad after-effects, as so many pills do. Yery often they make a person who takes them feel like a new man oi woman, for they cleanse the intestines oi hard, decayed and poisonous m atter that accumulates when one is costive. If you are constipated, by all means go to youi druggist and get some of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They may prove to b, the very thing your system Tequirea t' make you well and happy. has been In vogue for years, only m em bers, judges of the suprem e and superior courts, ex-members, state officers and persons especially invit­ ed by the speaker, or som e m em ber are entitled to the privileges of the floor Senate.

Over Three Times Pre-War Shipments Required—Situation in Wheat and Fats Proves Government’s Policy Sound. . 'I.-, i W ith the guns In Europe silenced, we have now to consider a new world food situation. B ut there can be no hope that; the volume of our exports can be lightened to the slightest de­ gree with the cessation of hostilities., Millions of people liberated from the Prussian yoke are now depending upon us for the food which will keep them front starvation. W ith food the United States made it possible for the forces of democ­ racy to hold out to victory. To Insure democracy in the world* we m ust con­ tinue to live simply In order that we may supply these liberated nations of Europe with food. H unger among a people Inevitably breeds anarchy. American food’m ust complete the work if making the world safe for democ­ racy. ; Last year we sent’11,820,000 tons of food to Europe.' For the present year, only the European Allies to feed, •.ve bad originally pledged ourselves to u program that would have Increased our exports, to 17,500,000 tons. Now, o' food the liberated nations, we will i.c.to export a total of not less than -0,000,000 toas—practically the limit of loadiug capacity a t our ports. Re­ viewing the w«rld food situation, we . iiiid that some foods will be obtainable • in quantities sufficient to meet all ivorid needs under a regim e of eco- omical consumption. On the other .:nd, there will be marked world ■iliortages In some im portant commotll- iies. Return to Normal Bread Loaf. With the enlarged w heat crops which American farm ers have grown, and the supplies of Australia, the Ar­ gentine and other m arkets now acces­ sible to shipping, there are bread grains enough to enable the nations to return to their norm al w heat loaf, provided we continue to mill flour nr a high percentage of extraction and m aintain economy In eating and the avoidance of waste. In fats there will be a heavy short- age — about 3,000,000,000 pounds— in pork products, dairy products and vegetable oils. While there will be a shortage of about three million tons In rich protein feeds for dairy ani­ mals, there will be sufficient supplies of other feedstuffs to allow economical consumption. In the m atter of beef, the world’s supplies are lim ited to the capacity of. the available refrigerating ships. The supplies of beef In A ustralia, the Ar-' gentlne and the United States are suf­ ficient to load these ships. There will be a shortage in the im porting coun­ tries, but we cannot hope to expand exports m aterially for the next m onths in view of the bottle neck in trans­ portation. ’ We will have a sufficient supply of sugar to allow norm al consumption In tlils country if the other nations re­ tain their present short rations or In­ crease them only slightly. F or the countries of JBurope, however, to in­ crease their present rations to a ma­ terial extent will* necessitate our shar­ ing a p art of o u r own supplies with them. Twenty Million Tons of Pood. Of the world total, N orth America will furnish more than 60 per cent. The United States, including the W est Indies, will Jbe called upon to fnralsh 20,000,000, tons of food of all kinds as com pared-with our pre-w ar exports of about 6,000,000 tons. While we will be able to change our program In. many respects, even a casual survey of the world supplies' in com parison.to world dem ands shows, conclusively th at Europe will know famine .unless the., American people orlng their home consumption down to the barest minimum that will main* tain health and strength. Tliere are conditions of fam ine in Surope th at will be beyond our power to remedy. There are -40,000,000 peo­ ple In Nortli B ussla Whom there is small chance of reaching w ith food this winter.

At this moment Germ any hae iiot alone sucked the food and anlmyla from- all those m asses off people she has dominated and left starving, but she has left behind her a, total wreck­ age of social Institutions,' and this m ass of people Is now confronted with, absolute, anarchy.

To the voluntary service and sacri­ fice of the American people m ust be j attributed the continued health, strength and morale of the Allied ar- ^ mies and the civil populace.. Upon this spirit of service and sac­ rifice will depend Europe’s fate In the m onths to come. In the past year we have carried out a n ' export program, the m agnitude of which Is alm ost be-' yond comprehension. B ut w ith the new demands that have come, with the liberation of nations freed from i Oerman oppression, our exports m ust i be alm ost doubled. Instead of 11,820,- j 000 tons, we m ust ship tw enty million tons of food to Europe In the coming year—as much as can be pushed through our ports. . If the Allies had not been fed by. America, it would have been impos­ sible for them to m aintain their de­ fense against Germany. Meeting thin world need on a purely voluntary basis, the American people have conclusively proved th at democ­ racy is a success ana th at In tim e of need It will rise to Its own defense. If thdre w ere no other accomplish­ m ent to its credit the very fact that it has shown the strength of democracy has In itself more than justified the existence of the Food Adm inistration in the eyes of the world. Less than four months after the United States declared w ar the United States Food A dm inistrator expressed his determ ination to m eet America’s food problem on a basis of voluntary iiction and reiterated his confidence that awakened democracy would prove irresistible. “JIany thinking Americans,” said Mr. Hoover, “and the whole world have been watching anxiously the last four m onths In the fear that demo­ cratic America could not organize to meet autocratic Germany. Germany has been confident that it could not be done. Contrary proof is Immediately at our door, and our people have al­ ready dem onstrated their ability to mobilize, organize, endure and prepare voluntarily and efficiently In many di­ rections and upon the m ere word of Inspiration aside from the rem arkable assemblage of our Army and finances.” The history of the Food Adm inistra­ tion has clearly shown th at the trust of those who put their faith In dem oo racy has not been misplaced. STAND WITH THE ALLIES. be pud food Skver NO ONE SUFFERED HERE. The marvel of our voluntary food- saving, now that we are “getting re­ sults,” is that no one ever actually suffered any hardship from It; that we all are better In healtn and spirit and better satisfied with ourselves be­ cause of our friendly self-denial. Food control in America held the price of breadstuff's steady, prevented vicious speculation and extbrtion and preserved tranquillity a t home. In no other nation Is there so willing a sense of voluntary self-sacrifice as In America—that was shown In the abstinence from w heat ' Find more wheat, it cam e; more pork, it cam e; save sugar, it was.done. So Am ericans answered the challenge of German starvation. Good will rules the new world as fear governed the old world. Through sharing food America helps m ake the whole world kin. Food control r-id e sufficiency from shortage, kept .'\ rein on food prices, gave the nation j ~ull strength exer­ cise. Starvation by Germany challenged all the w orld; food conservation In Am erica answ ered the challenge. By Reducing Consumption People of the United States Averted a Famine at Home in Spite ! of Low Supplies. I ' _ _ _ _ _ _ ! The fact that the people of the U nited States wtife able- to reduce by m ore than one-half million tons their July, August, September' and October consumption of sugar proves conclu­ sively th at their w ar conscience was thoroughly awakened and th at the country as a whole stood ready to fol­ low the injunctions of the Government. Our norm al consumption of sugar In 'the four-month period beginning with ■July has been 400,000 toDs per month, ,a total of 1,600,000 for the quarter year. In July, when our sugar stringency began to reach Its height, consumption w as reduced to 200,000 tons. In Au­ gust only 325,000 tons w ent into dis­ tribution and in September only 279,- 000 tons. In October the distribution fell to 230,000 tons. If the general public had failed to observe the injunctions of the Food Adm inistration this country would have been in tfie throes of a sugar fam ine before the end of A ugust Our visible supplies were so low as to bring great anxiety to those fam iliar. with the sugar situation. They feared th at it would be absolutely impossible to reduce consumption to a point where sugar would no longer be a m ere lux­ ury In the American d iet Few accomplishments of the Food A dm inistration will stand forth so pre­ dom inantly as this reduced consump­ tion of sugar. By it we have been able to bridge over the period of stringency until the new beet and Louisiana cane sugar crops w\.re In sight. Now the nation is in a position so th at if we choose we may return tp our norm al home use of sugar, and Europe, with the release of ships to go far'afield, can m aintain its recent re­ stricted • rations. If, however, those nations are to increase their use of sugar very considerably it m ust be by our continued shift'ing w ith them through lim iting our own consump­ tion. __________________ AMERICAN SPIRIT RELIED ON TO WIN. In the light of succeeding events it Is interesting to iacall- the confidence w ith which the United States Foofl A dm inistrator viewed the gloomy out­ look In July of .1917, when this coun­ try had been in the w ar for less than four m onths and the Germ ans were steadily sending ' the w estern front nearer and nearer to Pr.rls. “Even though the situation In E u­ rope m ay be gloomy today," he de­ clared in a public statem ent, “no American who has knowledge of the results already obtained in every di­ rection need have one atom of fear th at democracy will not defend itself in these United States.” LOYALTY IN LITTLE THINGS LAST PROOF OF PATRIOTISM Am ericans w ithout m urm uring cut their sugar allowance from four pounds a month to three and then as long as need be to two pounds for loy­ alty’s sake. Food Will Win t h e World. America earned the gratitude of al­ lied nations during w ar by sharing food.- America under peace may win the world’s good will by saving, to share. * * * DEMOCRACY VS, AUTOCRACY. * 4* ---------- 4* “T here Is no royal road to 4* 4* food conservation.

From a captured officer of the Ger­ man army conies a remarkable tribut to the fighting prowess of the First Division of the American troops, whose work will go down in history os among the most remarkable of the present war. He declared the Germans did not believe the Americans could produce within five years, a division such as they had found the First Division to be. The German, when taken, had seen four years of severe fighting. This is what he had to say yester­ day:— "I received orders to hold the ground at all costs. The American barrage advanced toward my posi­ tion and the work of your artillery was marvellous. The barrage was so dense that it was impossible for us to move out of our dugouts. "Following the barrage closely were the troops of the First Divi sion. I saw them forge ahead and knew that all was lost. Al! night I remained in my dugout, hoping army. This morning your troops found me and here I am, after four years fighting a prisoner. “Yesterday I knew that the First Division was opposite us, and I knew we would have to put up the hard­ est fight of the war. The First Di vision is wonderful and the German army knows it. “ We did not believe that within five years the Americans could de­ velop a division such as this First Division. The work of its infantry and artillery is worthy of the best armies of the world.” Cured At a Cost Of; 25 Cents. “Eight yrars ago when* we first moved to Mattnon.. I was n great sufferer from in 'Iiiii-Stion and constipationj." writes Mrs. Kiherl Allison, Matoonl' *&(.. I had fee <ri?nt.jS$a<i:iche8 and dizzy apd there was a feeling like a ;.i heayy'jweigiit pressing'an my stomach aodjchfast all the t'nie I felt miserable. Every morsel of fUuil distressed me. I copjd not rest niPhtand f«*|t tired andtWorn out all tWt time. One bottle of Chamberlain’s Tab l"ts cured me and I have since felt like .-a different person.” Chamberlain’s Tablets When you are troubled with indigestion or constipation, take Chamberlain’s Tab­ lets. They strengthen the stomach and enable it to perform its functions natural­ ly. Indigestion is usually accompanied by constipation and is aggravated by ii. Chamberlain’s Tablets cause 'a gentle movement of the bowels, relieving the constipated condition. * Murder By “Train Hog.” Concord Tribune. The unfortunate . accident which resulted in the death last Saturday of Mr. A. M, Blackwelder, is attrib­ uted largely, if not altogether, to the “train hog.” Mr. Blackwelder was assisting on the train hisdaugh ter, who had a small baby, a suit case and other bundles. He carried the baby for her and she managed the baggage and bundles as best she could. When they'entered the car there was no vacant seat. The daughter was loaded with hsr bag­ gage and Mr. Blackwelder held the baby. Although there were a dozen men seated near, not one offered a seat. Tne train began to move and Mr. Blackwelder was obliged to hand the baby back co his daughter and get off. Before he could get to the steps the train was moving briskly and in alighting he fell under the train, receiving injuries which re- s ulted in his death a few hours later.

Some Places Cited W here Force of Arms is Still Menacing or in Operation. ■ According to a dispatch from Paris, wars and rumors of wart- still prevail. The peace of the en tente and the central powers is no . world peace. Here are a few cor, ners of the earth where lorce ol arms is still menacing: All Bnssia is,, of course, a battle­ ground. Poland is fighting the Ukrani ans in Galicia, and. Hungary threatens to join tbe fray. Lem­ berg, stiong Polish city in tbe heart of that portion of Golicia. which is mostly Ukranian, is the; storm center. Polish forces are organizing to oppose the advance ol the Bolsbev- iki from Bussia. Italy and the Jugo-Slavs threat­ en battle over the eastern coast of the Adriatic. Eneh side declares it will not yield, and the situation may be beyond the power of the' peace cougiess to settle, Eevclt lias broken out in Abysi- unia, and troops are being dis patched to rescue the Christian* rioin the Moslems. Chile and Peru have shown a disposition to adjust their differ euces over Tacna and Arica, bat there is still a showing of teeth aud a threat of war in the air, which, if it should come, 1VrouId involve Bolivia, aud perhaps sev­ eral other South Ameiican coun­ tries. Mexico sees a renewal of hostili­ ties between the Carrauz^ party and tbe elemeuts opposed to the Pi esident. There is renewed talk of Amerif^u intervention, which w m ttsreaif frar'for IAmeriea'-atitnat woutd permit me to rejoin my her own back door. San Oouiingo iB still occupied by American forces, sent in to put down rebellion in the island. Cuba fears Bolsheviki uprisings as tbe ontciime of two general strikes in tbe last month, and its newspapers discuss possibility of a new American intervention there. The trouble here started with the demands of employes of the Cuba Railway Company for belter work­ ing conditions. In Sp iin the Catalonians have won concessions from the govern­ ment by threat of civil war, but- may not b.e content, and lighting raiay break out therefor a republic of Catalona. The Monarchist party in Portu­ gal, in tbe fa«e of tne world trend to democracy, would ie establish the throne, aud plots to this' eud have been discovered.

Andbefore seeking Jhis political alliance, the Presi b and his party have shown Jh e ir good faith by works. Thru jthe efforts of Hon. Joseph Tumul­ ty. President- Wilson has practic­ ally granted that education in the Philippines I shall be under tbe control of the Catholic Church; jjjBKl tjia t.re lig io n s,aB ckitiss,j i ^ h e great American Army shall be un der tbe direction of the Knights of Columbus. This means tine ad. •litiou to the church of one million of the countrj’s best aud bravest youog men, or at least their strong preference and sympathy for tbe Catholic Church. We most make the most of this opportunity.”— National Catholic Begister. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.

Knott, Chillicothe, Mo., says "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy cannot be beat for coughs and colds.” j A. J. Moore, Oval.

The first num ber contains an article by Luna­ charsky, comm issioner of education, announcing a plan to close 50 church­ es in Petrograd. O ther articles show the authorities intend to impose a special ta x on churchgoers. Religious teaching in schools is forbidden. R ecent speeches by Lenine and T rotzky to the central Moscow so­ viet are regarded as prelim inary to a complete surrender by the bolshevists. Both leaders confessed the economic system of bolshevist communism w as w as bankrupt, especially in relation to industrial production, finance and the food question. They said the tim e has come to in­ vite exports of the m iddle class to co­ operate w ith the soviets on an accept­ able basis. A sim ilar invitation w as addressed to the intelluctuals, who declared they stood outside the civil jrar.

Iu the ex­ am ination of the plans it seemed cer­ tain that a compromise would not be difficult to reach.* Prodded by the expressed anxiety of the sennte, the American delegates carefully examined every schem e sub­ m itted to make sure th at nothing in them endangered the cherished Monroe doctrine. They appear to be satisfied that this American ideal Is not imper­ iled and that, on the contrary,, the league would in effect extend the prin­ ciple of .the Monroe doctrine to the whole world. The senate is not so sure of this, an d ' Senator Borah, who strongly opposed the form ation of the league, introduced a resolution which, if passed, would serve notice that the senate will not ratify a treaty the pro­ visions of which conflict with the Mom roe doctrine and with the traditional duty of the UniIed States to enforce th at principle.—la— The m atter of extending aid to Po­ land was one of the serious things dis­ cussed- last week, especially serious because it probably Involves the prob­ lem of w hat the allies shall do in the case of Russia. The American and B ritish delegates w ere said to have Iigreed that, w h ile none of their own troops should be sent to help the Poles, the two Polish divisions recruit­ ed in the United States should be sent from France through Germany to as­ sist the governm ent set up by the Po­ lish national committee. These troops would co-operate in stemm ing the tide of bolshevism th at is .flowing w est from Russia, m aking the new Poland a strong bulw ark against th a t flood of anarchy. The plan is a concession to the ideas of the French, who are con­ vinced th at bolshevism cannot or should not be dealt w ith m ilitarily In Russia by the allies. It also Is likely to compel. General Pilsudski to come to an agreem ent w ith the Polish na­ tional committee as represented in Poland by Paderewski. . — I® — ' The Spartacan revolution in Ger­ m any—or a t least in Berlin—has fizzled out. Liebknecht and Rosa Luxem burg w ere captured and, according to report, killed. The other leaders are under ar­ rest or dispersed and some hundreds of their followers are dead. A fter a w eek of terror the police w ere reinstated and arm ed, order w as restored and .busi­ ness w as resum ed. In some other cities the “Reds” are still in control, but their chance for ultim ate success seem s to have gone glimmering. For one thing, H indenburg still has under his command an efficient arm y of m ore than a million men,- and m ost of these, troops he is holding true to the E bert government. . —TB!-* T his fact about the Germ an arm y leads to the w arning issued by the Central News of London, th at a situa­ tion exists in Europe under which w ar m ay break out again a t any . tim e and th at the B ritish scheme of demobiliza­ tion will have to be radically changed —which may also apply to American demobilization. An “unim peachable authority” is quoted as saying that G reat B ritain will have to keep an arm y of occupation on the Rhine for m any m onths, which accords w ith the opinion of others concerning all the arm ies of occupation.- It m ay be this note of alarm w as caused by the dis­ covery th a t the Germ ans w ere trying to evade some of the term s of the arm istice and by the m ore drastic conditions imposed by M arshal Foch in granting an extension of the arm i­ stice. It w as reported the m arshal even threatened to m arch directly on Berlin if the H uns didnft fulfill their pledges. It w as stated unofficially th at the new term s included the follow ing: F irst—Retribution upon the ’ Ger­ m ans for the m urder and ill-treatm ent of allied prisoners. Second—T he m achinery and goods stolen by Germany from France and Belgium to be a t once given up. < Third—G erm an. gold, am ounting to m ore than $500,000,000, to be moved from Berlin to a safe place, probably Frankfort, and protected from bolshe­ vism in Germany en route. Certain iother property to be surrendered. Fourth—Germany to gjve over her shipping, of which she is believed to have 4,000,000 tons,..to carry food sup­ plies to countries In Europe In need of them. Fifth—Any U-boats on the stocks to be handed to the allies for their dis­ posal, or to be destroyed, and do m ore subm arines should be built. — t o — Germany is fully justifying all those who refused to believe in her good faith under any circum stances. She is determ ined not to perm it the estab­ lishm ent of an independent Poland be­ cause she still proposes ' to grab enough in the east to m ake up for her losses on the west, and si Polish state would prevent this. The Germ ans are said to be supplying -arms to the bol- sheviki who are ravaging p arts of Poland, and there w as heavy fighting inst week between the German troops and tlje Poles near Kalm ar. It w as re­ ported th at Hindeoburg him self would lead the German array against Poland. — t o — The world-wide activities of the bol- slieviki took' in Argentina, Uruguay and Peru, w here there were desperate strikes accompanied by bloody fight­ ing. engineered by bolshevik agents. They also sent from Russia 4,000,000 gulden to Holland for a coup d’etat and riotdus dem onstrations plnnned for January 20. In this plot the Ger­ man radicals were co-operating witb W yncoop1 the D utch socialist leader. — t o — Because of dissension over Italy’s territorial claim s the cabinet resigned and Prem ier Orlando w as commission­ ed to form 'a n ew one. Several mem bers w ere bitterly opposed to Foreign M inister Sonnino In Ills dem ands that Italy be given the whole of the Dalm a­ tian coast, holding w ith President W il­ son th at p art of th at territory should ; justly be given to the Jugo-Slav state. —Pa— L ittle Luxem burg also had her crisis last week. A fter a republic had been proclaimed, and suppressed w ithin a few hours by tlie French m ilitary au­ thorities, Grand D uchess M arie abdi­ cated and w as succeeded by the eldest of her sisters, Princess Charlotte. M arie had lost the favor of her people because, though she protested against the passage of tlie Geim an arm ies through the principality, s h e ' after­ ward entertained high G erm an per­ sonages.—Pa— . Speaking of high personages, there are some queer reports coming from the refuge of the form er kaiser in Holland. It is declared he is border­ ing on insanity, talking alm ost inces­ santly and incoherently and w andering about a t night. It is also said that his health is failing rapidly. The Germ ans, who supported W ilhelm heartily until he turned out to be-a loser, are now heaping abuse on him and the Germ an commission appoint­ ed to determ ine his responsibility for the war. has recom mended th at he be brought to trial, declaring th at m ar­ ginal notes in the kaiser’s handw riting on papers in the foreign office prove hinr to have been one of the chief w ar m akers. -Thip venomous course of the Germ ans certainly is superfluous, for the allied governm ents will see to itj th at W ilhelm and ,others get the pun­ ishm ent they so richly deserve. — t o — The desperate need of the liberated peoples of central Europe for food will ' be relieved as soon as possible. Urged by President W ilson, the Am erican house of representatives appropriated $100,000,000 for this purpose, and it is understood the other allied nations will do their .part. T he money is' not to be spent for food for the Germans, but much of the relief will go to the peo­ ples form erly under the rule of the Em peror of A ustria. The. B ritish arm y in Italy did a graceful thing the other day when they sent several trainloads of food to starving Vienna in recogni- ! tion of the decent way -in which, the j A ustrians had treated B ritish prison -1 ers of war. H ungary, which has been • m ade a republic under the presidency . of Count K arolyi, is appealing to tho allies fo r its share of help, as well as against being deprived of any of its territory by the surrounding new na­ tions. *— t o — Turkey cam e to the fron t w ith the report th at the Turks had finally sur­ rendered M edina, the holy city of the M ohammedans, to the king of the H edjaz. T his capitulation w as in­ cluded in the term s of the arm istice, but w as delayed by the long isolation of the garrison. T he disposition of Constantinople also w as brought un­ der renewed discussion by the subm is­ sion of the claim s of Greece to the peace delegates in Paris. The general belief w as th at the city would be placed under international control rather than turned over to the Greeks. — t e — The U n ited . States w ent dry last week, national prohibition “going over the top” when N ebraska ratified the constitutional am endm ent being the thirty-sixth state to take th at ac­ tion. T he am endm ent goes into effect' one year hence, but as the w ar m eas­ ure passed by congress establishes country-wide prohibition on July I the dry era will really date from th at day. The leaders of the prohibition party naturally are joyous over the trium ph of the'cause for which they struggled through so m any years, and they now have a vision of a boozeless world. They have established headquarters In m any foreign cities and say they are m aking great headway. The Unit­ ed States is the first great nation to adopt, prohibition, for 'tlie Russian ban w as only on vodka, and th a t has been lifted by the bolshevik govern­ ment.

Synopsis.—Bnrton Baynes, an orphan, goes to live w ith his uncle, Peaboy Baynes, and his A unt Deel on a farm on R attleroad, in a neighborhood called Lickitysplit1 about the year 1826. H e m eets Saliy Dunkelberg, about his own age, but socially of a class above the Bayneses, and is fascinated by her pretty face and fine clothes. Barton also m eets Koving Kate, known in the neighborhood as the “Silent W oman.” Amos Grimsimw, a young son of the richest m an in the town­ ship, is a visitor a t the Baynes home and Roving K ate tells the boys’ fortunes, predicting a bright future for B arton and death on the gallows for Amos. Beproved for an act of boyish mischief, Barton runs away, intending to m ake his home w ith the Dunkelbergs. H e reaches Canton and falls asleep on a porch. T here is he is found by Silas W right, Jr., a man prom inent in public affairs, who, knowing Peabody Baynes, takes Barton home after buying him new clothes. Silas W right evinces much interest in Barton and sends a box of books and m agazines to the Baynes home. A short tim e later the election of Mr. W right to the United States senate 4s announced. B arton learns of a w onderful power known as “Money,” and how through its possession Grimshaw is the m ost pow erful m an in the community. Grimshaw threatens to take the Baynes farm if a note which he holds is not paid. CHAPTER V—Continued. To A unt Deel wagon grease w as the w orst enemy of a happy and re­ spectable home. W e hitched our team to the grass­ hopper spring wagon and set out on our journey. It w as a warm, hazy Indian-sum m er day in November. ,As we passed “the mill” we saw the Si­ lent W oman looking out of the little window of her room above the black­ sm ith shop—a low, weather-stained, fram e building, hard by the m ain road, with a narrow hanging sta ir on the side of it. “She keeps w atch by the winder when she ain’t travelin’,” said Uncle Peabody. “Knows all that’s goin’ on—that woman—knows who goes to the village an’ how long they stay. When Grlmsnav/ goes by they say she hustles oif down the road In her rags. She looks like a sick dog herself, but I’ve heart! th at she keeps th a t room o’ hers in s t’as neat as a p in /’ N ear the village we passed a sm art- looking buggy, draw n by a spry-foot­ ed t orse in shiny harness. Then I noticed w ith a pang th at our wagon w as covered w ith dry mud and th at our horses w ere rather bony and our harness a kind of lead coior. So I was in an hum ble state of m ind when we entered the village. T here w as a crowd of men .and women in front of M r. W right’s office and through its open door I saw many of his fellow townsmen. W e w aited a t the door for a few minutes. I crowded In while Uncle Peabody stood talk­ ing to a villager. T he Senator caught sight of me and came to my side and put his hand on my head and said: “Hello, B art! HoW you’ve grown! and how handsom e you look! W here's your uncle?” “H e’s there by the door,” I an­ swered. “Well, le’s go and see him.” Mr. W right w as stouter and grayer and grander than when I had seen him last. H e w as dressed In black broadcloth an I wore a big beaver hat and high collar and his hair -was al­ most white. I rem em ber vividly his clear, kindly, gray eyes and ruddy cheeks. “Baynes, Tm glad to see you," he said be^rtily. “Did ye bring me any jerked m eat?” “D idn’t think of it,’’ said Uncle Peabody. “B ut I’ve got a nice young doe all jerked an’ If you’re fond o’ jerk I’ll bring ye down some to-mor- rer.” “I’d like to take some to W ashing­ ton, but I wouldn’t have you bring It so far.” “I’d like to bring it—I w ant a chance to talk w ith ye fo r half an hour or such a m atter,” said m y un­ cle. “I’ve got a little trouble on my hands-” The Senator took us into his office and introduced us to the leading men of the county. “H ere,” said the Senator as he put his hand on my head, “is a coming m an in the Dem ocratic party.” T he-great men laughed a t my blushes and we came aw ay w ith a deep sense of pride in us. A t last I felt equal to the ordeal of m eeting the Dunkelbergs. My uncle m ust have shared my feeling, for, to my delight, he w ent straight to the basem ent store above which w as the modes!; sign: “H. Dunkelberg, Produce.” “W ell I sw an!” said the m erchant In the treble voice which I remem ­ bered so well. “This is B art and Pea­ body! How are yon?’- _ “P retty well,” I answered, m y un­ cle being too slow of speech to suit my sjn se of propriety. “H ow is Sal­ ly?” The two men laughed heartily, much to my em barrassm ent. “H e's getting right down to busi­ ness " »ald my un d e. “T hat’s right,” said M r. Dunkelberg. •■Why, B art, she’s spry as a cricket and pretty as a picture. Come up to dinner w ith m e and see for yourself.” Uncle Peabody hesitated, whereupon I gavo him a fuidve nod and he said “AU right,” and then I bad a deli­ cious feeling of excitem ent I had hard work to control m y im patience when they talked. By and by I asked, “A re you ’m ost ready to go?” “Yes—come on—it’s after ' tw elve o’c lo c k s a id M r. Dunkelberg. ’ “Sally will be back from school now.” So w e w alked to the big house of the D unkelbergs and I could hear my h eart beating when we turned In a t the gater—the golden gate of m y youth it m ust have been, for -after I had passed it I thought no m ore as. a child. T hat rude push which M r. Grim shaw gave me had hurried the passing. I. w as a little surprised at-m y own dignity when Sally opened the door to welcome us. My uncle told A nnt Deel th at I acted and spoke like Silas W right, “so nice and proper.” Sally w as different, too—less playful and m ore beautiful w ith .long yellow curls covering her shoulders. “How nice you look I” she said as she took my arm and led m e into her playroom. “These a re my new clothes,” I boasted. "They are very expensive and I have to be careful of them.” I behaved m yself w ith great care a t the table—I rem em ber that—and, after dinner, we played in the door- yard .and the stable, I w ith a great fear of tearing my new clothes. I stopped and cautioned her m ore than once': “Be careful! F o r gracious sake! be careful o’ m y new su it!” As we w ere leaving late in the af­ ternoon she said: “I wish you would come here to school.” “I suppose he will som e tim e,” said Uncle Peabody. A new hope entered m y breast, th a t moment, and began to grow there. “Aren’t you going to kiss her?” said Mr. Dunkelberg w ith a smile. •I saw the color in her cheeks deep­ en as she turned w ith a sm ile and -J « 5 ^ "I’m Not Afraid of Him." walked aw ay tw o or three steps' while the grown people laughed, and Btood w ith her back turned looking in a t the window. “You’re looking the w rong w ay for the scenery,” said M r.

She turned anjl w alked tow ard me w ith a look of resolution in h er pret­ ty face and s a id ' 'T m Mot afraid of him.” W e kissed each other and, again, th a t well-remembered touch of her hair upon my face* B ut the feel of her w arm lips upon my own—th at was so different and so sw eet to remem­ ber in the lonely days tlm r followed! F ast flows the river to the sea- when youth is sailing on i t They .had shoved m e out of the quiet cove into the sw ift current—those dear, kindly, thoughtless people. Sally ran away into the house as their laughter con­ tinued and my uncle and I walked down the street. How happy I w as! I observed w ith satisfaction that the village boys did not m ake fun of me w hen‘1 passed them as they did when I woitj the petticoat trousers. Mr. and Mrs. W right came along w ith the crowd, by and by, and colonel M edad Aloody. W e had supper w ith the Senator on the seat w ith us. H e and my uncle began to talk about the tightness of money and the banking law s and I rem em ber a rem ark of u y uncle, for there w as th at in his tone which I could never forget: “W e poor jieople are trusting you to look out for us—we poor people are trusting you to see th at w e get treated fair. W e’re havin’ a hard time.” My uncle told him about the note and the visit of Mr. Grimshaw and of his threats and upbraidings. "Did he say th at in B art’s hearing?” asked the Senator. “A yes!—right out plain.” “Too bad! I ’m going to tell you frankly, Baynes, th at the best thing I know about you is your conduct to­ w ard this boy. I like it. The next best thing is the fact th at you signed the note. It w as bad business but it w as good Christian conduct to help your friend. Don’t regret it. You w ere poor and of an age when the boy’s pranks w ere troublesome to both of you, but you took him in. Pll lend you the interest and try to get another holder fo r the m ortgage on one condition. You m ust let m e at­ tend to B art’s schooling. I w ant to be boss about that. W e have a great schoolm aster in Canton and when B art is a little older I w ant him to go there to school, r il try to find him a place w here he can work for his board.” “We’ll m iss B art but we’ll be tickled to death—taere’s no two ways about that,” said Uncle Peabody. The Serntor tested my arithm etic and gram m ar and geography as we rode along In the darkness and said by and by: “You’ll have to w ork hard, B art. You’ll have to take your book into the field as I did. A fter every row of corn I learned a rule of syntax or arithm etic or a fact in geography while I rested, and m y thought and memory took hold of it as I plied the hoe. I don’t w ant you to stop the reading, but from now on you m ust' spend half of every evening on your lessons.” - As. I w as going to bed the Senator called m e to him and said: “I shall be gone when you are up In the morning. I t Jtnay be a long tim e before I see you,; I shall leave something for you In' a sealed envel­ ope w ith your nam e on it. You are not to open the envelope until yon go aw ay to school. I know how you will feel th a t first day. W hen night falls you will think of your aunt and uncle and be very lonely. W hen you go to your room for the night I w ant you to sit down all by yourself and open the envelope and read w h at-1 shall write. They will be, I think, the m ost im pressive w ords you ever read. You will think them over but yon will not understand them for a long time. Ask every wise m an you m eet to explain them to you, for all your happiness w ill depend upon your un­ derstanding of those fevf words in the envelope.” In the morning A unt Deel put it in m y hands. “I wonder w hat iu the world ho wrote there—ayes!” said she. “W e m ust keep it careful—ayes!—I’ll put it in m y trunk an’ give-it to ye when ye go to Canton to school.” “H as M r.

W hat a day it w as!—the first of many like it. I never think of those days w ithout saying to m yself: "W hat a God’s blessing a m an like Silas W right can be in the community in which his heart and soul are as an open book!” As the evening cam e on I took a long look a t ihy cords. The shed w as nearly half full of them . .F our rules of syntax, also, had been carefully stored aw ay In my brain. I said them over as I hurried down into the pasture w ith old Shep and brought in the cows. I got through milking just as Uncle Peabody came.

People are easily frightened when they think something is the matter with their lungs or heart, and well they may be; bat few people understand the dangers of dis­ eased kidneys. These organs have a duty of vital importance to perform, and if they are diseased, there is no telling how or where the symptoms may appear. The kidneys are filters, and when they are healthy they remove the poisons from the blood and purify it. When the kidneys are diseased, the poisons are spread every­ where, and one of these poisons is uric acid. The uric acid is carried all through the system and deposited in various places, in the form ef urate salts—in the feet, ankles, wrists and back—often forming bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result­ ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica and backache. Finally, come stone in the bladder, diabetes and Bright’s dis­ ease. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., in recent years, discovered that a certain combina­ tion of remedies would dissolve uric add (urate salts) in the system. He found this combination to be harmless, so that he made it up in tablets, of double strength, and called them Anuric Tablets. They dissolve uric acid in the human system as hot coffee dissolves sugar. If you have uric acid troubles, don’t delay in taking Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in the drug stores. You can write Dr. Pierce, too, and he will tell yon what to cat and how to live -0O lliiit more uric acid will not form in your system. Dr. Pierce will not charge for this advice. Dissipating.

I could hear the harsh voice of the money-lender speaking in loud and angry tones and presently he’ w ent away. “W hat’s the rip?” I asked as m j uncle returned looking very sober. “We won’t talk about, it now,” he answered. In the candle-light ov the evening Uncle Peabody said: “Grimshaw has demanded his m ort­ gage money an’ he w ants it in gold coin. We’ll have to git it some way, I dunno how.” “W’y of all things!” m y aunt ex­ claimed. “How are we goin’ to git all th at money—these hard tim es?— ayes! I’d like to know?” “Well, I can’t tell ye,” said U nds Peabody. “I guess he can’t forgive us for savin’ Rodney Barnes.” ' “W hat did he say?” I asked. “Why, he says w e hadn’t no busi­ ness to hire a m an t> help us.

PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BEST Timely Measures Properly Applied Of­ fer Surest Means of Control— Kill­ ing Often Advisable. (Fl'-pared by the U nited States D epart­ m ent of Agriculture.) i'oultry raisers who w ait until dis­ ease appears In the flock and then prepare to m ake a defensive attack are likely to be successful only In rare r.aies. By fa r the best plan is to care for the flock in such a w ay th at disease will not appear. T he aim in controlling the diseases-of poultry is, they add, to learn how to prevent them rather than how to cure. To enlighten poultry ow ners as to the characteristics of the m ore impor­ tant diseases In order th at they m ay intelligently use the m ost improved m ethods of com bating .them Farm ers’ Bulletin 957, “Im portant Poultry D is­ eases,” has recently been published by the departm ent. T he causes, symp­ toms, from aspengillosis (brooder pneu­ m onia) to worms, are given in this publication. As all poultry is susceptible to m any diseases, some of which are highly In­ fectious and resist all efforts of treat­ ment, the bulletin suggests th at when birds become sick it is often the best plan to kill them. T he greater the num ber of birds kept upon any farm or plot of ground, and the m ore they are crowded together, the m ore im por­ tan t are the m easures for excluding, eradicating, and preventing the devel­ opm ent o f the causes of disease. W hen disease appears am ong poul­ try the fowls should be rem oved from the poultry yard and a good coating of freshly slaked lim e should be ap­ p lied to the entire surface of the ground, according to the bulletin. Af­ ter a few days it should be plowed and then cultivated three or four tim es at Intervals of a week and finally sowed w ith oats, rye or other grain. It is best to leave the ground unoccupied by- fowls until the w inter has passed. Af­ ter the fow ls have been returned the prem ises m ust be frequently cleaned and occasionally disinfected. The drinking fountains and feed troughs m ust be w ashed every week w ith boiling w ater’ or other disinfect- . ant, and if any lice or m ites are found j on the birds or in the house the roosts and adjoining p arts of the w alls should ! be painted w ith a m ixture of kerosene, j one quart, and crude carbolic a d d or crude creosol, one teacupful.

S.” A Pleased Subscriber. Dear Mr. Editor:—You will find my check which is good for two Su­ per Dreadnoughts which you will please accept with my very kind res­ pects and place to the use and be­ hoof of the good old Record which has been coming every week for so many years and really do not feel that I am able to allow it to stop. Resides it will be a help to your Postmaster as well as the Postmaster General and to your good old town of Mocksville, and even if you do not need it yourself you can place i t to some good cause, such as to bribe the present legislature to pass a dog law which we are perhaps in need of, I wish they would pass a dog law for I have too many dogs, and I see no other way to get rid of them. I do not exactly know how far this will pay my insurance to the right to be numbered with the Record Family, but I hope it will see me ov­ er to the time when we will have a full Republican administration, not that I am kicking against the present one, but I think I see where it could be improved upon in some respects. I am not looking for any job with this administration or the next one. but I want to be so fixed that I can stay on my own job which is the only one I know exactly how to do, and I do not think that changing jobs is very good policy. I would not have your readers to think that I am a politician, for I am not one of them precious promises. I got elected on the Republican ticket for magistrate of my town­ ship which gives a Democratic ma­ jority to fellows higher up. So byW. L.

A. nurses’ hut In a Base Hospital. Having no film or camera, the 'nurses a t Base decided to put on a living picture show and inyited a .group of nurses from a nearby hos- ,pltal to be the audience. It w as a real thriller, one of the wild and wool- Ily w est variety,’ with bucking bron- ;choes and wild rides on broom and ; mop horses. Imagination supplied the scenery, IwIlh the exception of placards, which announced “the sun” when it was sup­ posed to be shining or “cacti” when the cow punchers rode scross the I desert. , , Countess Yacaresca of Koumania1 'w ho had been talking to the nurses on conditions in the Gorman courts a t the tim e she w as lady-in-waiting to the Queen of Roumania, was the most ap­ preciative of all the guests. ) Four hundred thousand persons and more served in the cafeteria In one year is the record of the Y.

In addition to all these guests. 25.000 little children were cared for Ir the nursery and the rest room served 70.000 tired wives and mothers. The w orkers a t the inform atior desk received and answered* 97,OOC questions varying from how to get the I best connections to a destination cleat I across the continent, the rates of sol !•tilers’ insurance and the kind of ere- I tonne n girl bride should have In hei ; living room now that Private John it ; coming home from France.

The need and suffering throughout all Russia w as so great a t the time the Association was established that It w as a problem to find w here the money would help the greatest num­ ber of people. It was thought best to expend it to help capitalize organiza­ tions for giving work and permanent opportunities to fam ilies and individu­ als to earn their own living;)' .

I am eighteen years old, and I work In a big fac- 'to ry in Michigan. More than four hundred other girls work there too. ' I don’t aim to tell you about our Jobs. '.You can read about our w ork In the .labor departm ent reports. Blit I do 'aim to tell you about our Big S ister; • and of the things she has done for us. j “To begin with, our fnctory town ; Isn’t a town a t all. It’s a huge barn i of buildings stuck down In the country j nineteen m iles, from nowhere. There : • is a railroad siding, a station the size •of a dry goods box, seven farm houses and one general store and postoffice . !combined—It’s pretty near as big as a ; ,'hot tam ale stand. And that’s all. No ,M ain street, no banks nor stores, no , ice-cream parlors, not one so litary ; ■ movie show, In all those nineteen" miles. Lonesome? It’s the ragged edge of desolation, th at’s w hat it is. “I w as one of the first carload of forty girls that w as shipped up from Chicago. The fnctory w as sw arm ing with workmen putting in the m achin­ ery, and we girls, couldn’t begin work ,for a day or so. so w e began hunting •places to eat and sleep. T hat w as a trifle th at the employment folks hadn’t thought of. The workmen w ere sleep­ ing and eating in the cars th at had ! brought them there, backed on the siding. Our only chance for beds and ;food w as with those seven farm houses, ;so we marched straight to the farm ers’ w ives and asked for board and room. Farm ers’ W ives Hospitable. “I will say th at thosewomen w ere kind and hospitable. They fixed It up be­ tw e e n them to feed us forty girls, and they gave us good food too. B ut for !rooms, th at w as the question. They : could each spare one room. T hat I m eant sleep five or six in a room. But ! right then along came the boss of the I factory and told us the m achinery w as ; ready nnd he’d expect us girls to work ! double shifts- night and day. ; “H e w anted to m ake use of every i minute, you see. B ut that gave us our I chance as to sleeping. W e fixed it up jw ith the farm folks th at we’d work [double shifts nnd sleep double shifts I too. ! “So w e planned it. T hree girls > would use a room from eight a t night j' till six the next morning. Then they’d : hustle over to the factory, and the j three girls who’d been, working all • night would tak e the room and sleep i till afternoon. It w asn’t any luxuri- • ous slum ber, believe me. The farm women had so few sheets and pillow I cases th at m ost of us w ent without. ‘,A nd tow els w ere scarce as diamonds 'o n blackberry bushes. As to soap— i well, the general stqre kept yellow bar ! soap, th at kind th at is so full of rosin ’you could use it to calk a ship. But jw e made out till the next three car­ loads of girls came rolling in. Then I we w ent ’m ost distracted. Those poor [girls had to sleep In tents and in the ; cars th a t the workmen had abandoned ,by this tim e, and they were lucky it !they got a straw tick and a blanket ■ By this tim e it had turned raw cold, ;nnd m aybe yon know w hat late au- : tum n nights In M ichigan feel like. Tc ■ cap the clim ax Ihe farm folks cut ; down on food, and for a week it was ; potatoes and beans and mighty few : beans a t that. Along Came a Miracle. “But, right when we w ere abca-. [ ready to quit our jobs nnd beat it fot , home, along came a m iracle. Two quiet, businesslike women climbed .down from th e easthound train one ! morning. IYIth them came eight work- ;men, a carload of scantling and tai 'paper, another carload of cots and blankets and pillows and sheets and • towels—Iirand new blankets and beds —think of the glory of .th at!—and bushels of dishes and rolls of oilcloth ’and enough burlap to carpet the coun try. You -won’t believe me when I tell yon th at • in ten days their workmen had a scantling-and-tar-paper shack put up sind burlap tacked over the w alls, arid the Y. W. C. A. secretary nnd her helper had set up board tables and cbffe e kettles and w ere serving us the gras .dest hot lunches every day. And back behind the burlap screens w ere sel. those row s of clean cots, with enough cover to keep you warm the coldest ,night th at ever blew, and a towel apiece foe every single girl. Do you w onder th a t we all felt, as one girl p u t ft, ‘I’ll w ager the Fritz-C arle ton h a s nothing on th is!’ 41IYho w ere those women? Why, Y» WJ. C. A. secretaries, of course.
