Mem­ bers ol these boards will receive no compensation, however, for the period from March 31 to the date of discharge, as they »‘will not be requued to perform any service.” Text of these orders waB made public yesterday by Secretary W.

An exchange commenting on the prevalent and exaggerated use 01 paint and powder" on girl’s and women’s laces recalls to mind that there was a law at one time in En gland to the following effect, and which might be placed on oui statutes to relieve the over supply of chemical-made women:— ‘‘Whosoever shall entice into bonds of matrimony auy male sub­ ject of Her Majesty’s by means Cf rogue, white paint, Spanish cotton, steel corsets, crinoline, high heeled shoes or false figures of any char­ acter, shall be prosecuted for witch­ craft and the marriage declared null and.void.” Plies Cured in 6 to 14 Days DruJgists refund money If PAZO OINTMENT falt9 to cure itching, Blind.

In its closing honrs the Legislat ■ure passed a Highway Law to ap ply to the State. In a measure it is somewhat disappointing. In ex plaining the measure even more clearly than the law in detail the Greensboro Kews says: It is by its own declaration an act to provide lor the construction and maintenance of a system ol state highways. It is also to en able the state to secure the benefit)- of federal aid. For the pnrposeol constructing and maintaining •'» system of state highways and poBt roads” the proceeds ol license tax on motor vehicles, less expenses os collecting, are to be kept as the “ Btate highway fund” by the state treasurer. The roads to be buili herewith “shall be constructed so >18 to form a Bystem of modern highways acceptable to the United States government, connecting b> the most practicable routes the various county seats and other principal towns of every county in the State.’’ Location, construct ion. maintenance are to be “de termined upon” and the work is to be done by the Btate highway com missions, which shall make all sur- veys, plans, specifications and esti­ mates. “Construction work and labor” shall be under the aireci supervision ot the highway com mission subject to inspection ami approval by ihe federal authori ties. License tax for private cats oegins at $10 inBtead of $5, hall the annual rate after March 4, in­ stead of the whole sum, no matter when license is applied lor as at preseut, and goes oc up according to engine power. The state treasurer upon the ad. v’ice of the governor and council of state shall, it necessary, from time to time negotiate and secure a short term loan to make np any differ ence between the highway fund and the available federal fund ieu per cent, ot the highway funu is the maximum cost of administra­ tion. Local units must lurnish rights of wav, engineering is pmo ior out of the highway fund. The highway commission and the state forester may cooporate with local authorities in planting and pro ect iug of roadside trees. The four members of the state highway com­ mission are to be appointed by the governor, oue from the wee<t, one entral, one eastern, parts of the state one, state at large; two for i,wo, one tor four, otie (or six yeais; one is to be a member of the mi oority party; one is to be desig uated chaiiman (and highway commissioner.) at not over @5,500 and actual traveling expenses, the >thers to get $10 per day and ac tual expenses while on duty The Highway cbminissioner “shall be a practical business man.” Let us now consider how this “system of state highways act” will go iuto operation and will op­ erate once in. Whenever any one or more of fhe counties of the stale shall agree to furnish one fourth the cost of construction of that por­ tion of “the state highway system” in or through such county or coun ties, “pre/erence shall be given by the state highway commission in beginniug the construction of the highway or highways in or run ning through such county or coun­ ties, and whenever any county shall notify the state highway com­ mission that it will and is prepared to furnish one-fourth the cost of construction of that portion of the state highway system which will oe in or ruu through snch county or counties, it shall be tbe duty of the state highway commission to proceed to such county or counties as early as practicable and deter­ mine upon tbe location of tbe high­ way or highways in or running through such county or counties which will be part of the state OighwaykSyStem and make tbe ne­ cessary surveys, plans, specifica tions and estimates and proceed with the construction of the high way or 'highways a6 soon as neces­ sary fund# are available.” ConLties* • townships and road districts lfi’orfrer to provide their one-fourth of the cost of recon­ structing •‘said system of state highways” may use Buch road funds as they have available, or can get, “and the construction and improvement of the said system of state highways is thereby declared to be a necessary public expense of tbe several connties, township ard road districts.” This law does not in fact under­ take to build a single state h igh­ way, m uch less a system of state highw ays. I t now here m akes it m andatory upon anybody to build, >r even to begin, a single state 'lighw ay or any other sort of bigh- vay. It sim ply provides th a t if llOniies ap p ly , county 1 roads ot .-'Oine-Soit or other w ill be built, cniee-lourtbs to be paid by the -itate with state and federal money •>ue fourth to be furnished by the county. In the natural evolution of com inubity ivad construction, it every oody does not take to flying, all f-he counties would, some time, have hig wayB running through them, and it would naturally come * bo Ut that they would reach from important town to important town, md Iorm a continuous line. Then ve should have main highways, or •tate high way b, just as we now lave truntt mudways. The richer slid more progressive counties vould bnild tta'ir roads before the poor and reactionary counties had iegnn. and that is exactly what may be expected to take place un­ der this act; except that to him that hath shall be given, and from Him that hath not shall be taken -tway'ttven that which he hath. The act is ior cohsirucLiuu, and a lay opinion of its m eaning may oe w orthless; yet we in v ite atten ­ tion to the provisions in 7 and S The first proviues th a t funds here­ tofore collected shall be paid to the counties, to be used as a road fund. The Becond provides th a t a ll funds collected unuer the provision ot this act or hereafter collected un der the provisions of ch ap ter 140, etc., “ except as provided in prece diiig section shall be converted in- ro th e state highw ay fund and shall be apportioned as under the provisions ol this a c t,” and the provisions of th is act authoiize no expenditure except to and in coun­ ties or.districts th a t m ake applica non and p u t up one fourth of the yrice ot snch road as is to be buitt. It is called a -‘state highway ■3js-i'in’’ law. but it is really au act to promote the building ol roads iu connties and local districts, <iuu further, an act to promote IO^d building in rich and enter­ prising counties at tbe expense ot poor and backward ones. It is an act under th e operation of vviiii h state highw ays m ight be ouilt. ju st as they m ight be built il it had not been passed; b u t In stead ot being a deliberate attem p t to build m ain highw ays, it reads as if it m ight have been deliberate­ ly intended to prevent th e con Htruction otm ain highw ays instead. Knife Blade in Body. Waynesville Carolina Mountaineer. This sounds like a fish story but it is true. Twelve years ago, at a church, at Saunook, a few miles above town, two boys had a fight in which Robert Stiles was cut in several places. It is supposed the first thrust was right above the nip when two inches of the 'blade broke off and remained in the body until Tuesday afternoon, when it was removed by Dr. J. F. Abel. The blade was somewhat rusty and had moved down ten inches into the hip below where it first was imbedded. It has caused Stiles considerable pain during the eig*it years he has spent in the west and he didn’t realize it was there until about two years ago. Stiles was trading in a local store a short time after the blade was removed and showed it to the writer. He is very g!ad to get rid of this unwelcome enemy which has pursued, and hurt him for so long No W orm s in a Healthy Child Ail children troubled with worms have fin un­healthy color, which indicates poor blood, and as a rule, there is more or less stomach disturbance.

From The Christian Science Monitor The attention of the United States Postolfice Department might be given at this time, and with sood profit, to the allegation that The Rebel Worker, an “Organ of Revolutionary Unionism,” and propagator of everything that is pernicious in the I. W. Vir. move­ ment, is being sent through the mails concealed within a sheet torn from seme legitimate and conser­ vative newspaper. The purpose is, of course, to deceive the postal employees and probably to deter 'hem from throwing the pub lication away. As a matter of 'act, articles in a iecent issue of i’he Bebel Worker, entitled ‘ using the Espionage Act to Terrorize La- ;>or,” and “Some Judicial Atroci­ ties.” should bar its admission to postal privileges.

The editorial that appeared in our issue of March 26th headed, “Something Must Be Done,” has been comment­ ed on by residents scattered thruout the entire State. They all say we told the truth. “IV. S. S.” The best way to build up a city is for each and every man in it not to strive to rend and tear down. When­ ev er a man in a town is doing well do not try to tear him down. AiI the residents of a town are partners, not opponents. In all likelihood the more business done by your rival the more you will do. “TV. S. S.»* If a promoter tries to sell vou stock that will double in a year and promises to pay 10 per cent annual dividend, be assured that somebody is trying to make an easy living on your hard-earned cash. Don’t be a fool Lead that stock promoter to the front door and gently kick him over into the next county. “TV. S. S.” A widow lost a hog. We do not refer to the death of her husband. She lost a real hog and advertised for it. The editor says the hog must have read the paper, for he came hiking home on the dead run as soon as the paper left the post- office. This is not the first instance where a hog has read a newspaper— and incidentally forgot to pay for it. “W. S. S.” Sometimes it is like making bricks without straw to get items in a small community where a lack of putting them in the reporter’s way is often noticeable. The power of the print­ ed word is unlimited and the advan tages of publicity often given freely by the local paper to village news, is worth many dollars to its readers. It is also not the local items that sometimes are already familiar to the home reader before publication that is to be left unrecorded, for the absent ones living away from the native home town thus get the village news and form a large num­ ber of subscribers scattered all over the country who take the home per for this purpose especially. “TV.

S.” There are two ways of getting in­ to a newspaper—purchasing an in­ terest and purchasing an interview. There is still another way—pulling the wool over Ihe editor’s eyes .and getting in for nothing: This is a very popular form of entry; New Legislative Provisions—Dogs Away From Home Must W ear Tags. Following are the provisions of the North Carolina dog control law adopted by the general assembly of 1919: A bill to be entitled, an Act to Tax Dogs in North Carolina and to encourage sheep husbandry.

CrFFECT IIflPORTflHT RESULTS Certain Amendments Have Been Agreed Upon That Are Designed to Meet Criticism at Home. Paris.—Persistent efforts, principal­ ly by the American delegates, but sec­ onded (or the most part by the British and Italians, to speed up the work uf Cne various councils and commis­ sions preparing the details of the peace treaty, resulted in better progress dur­ ing the closing days of the past iweek. Tiiat most important results will be ,ituined during the present week is predicted by those who are in a posi­ tion to speak, including the disposi­ tion of the Monroe doctrine and repa­ rations, the two subjects which have been the main obstacles to the com- plcticn of the treaty. The most stubbornly contested sub­ ject was that of reparations, and it is suggested that the delay In this case cftnnot be charged. up to the Americans, but rather to the pre-elec­ tion promises of Prem ier Lloyd George and Premier Clemenceau to make the Oermans pay the whole cost of the war, which have led to some embar­ rassment, because of the patent ina­ bility of the enemy to pay more than a fraction of the enormous indemnity that will be required for that purpose. However, real progress has bee’n made in bringing about an agreement on the total amount of indemnity and the terms of payment, on a basis of painstaking studies of the exact state of German industries and resources iit the present time and prospects for the future made by the financial com­ missions of the conference. Although President Wilson has stat­ ed that the league of nations cove­ nant did not delay the progress of the treaty, because the work of the other commissions was equally essential to its completion, the subject has been the subject of much anxiety and close study during the past weitifc The desire of the American delegates tq safeguard the Monroe doctrine and to insert other amendments to meet home criticism has temporarily pre- vcnicd the report of the revised cove­ nant r.-fim being submitted to a plen­ ary meeting. of the conference. THE NEW ROCKET SAID' TO BE TERRIBLE ENGINE OF WAR Worcester, Mass..—Dr. Robert P •Goddard, professor of physics at Clark College, acting under the patronage of the United States war department, "the Smithsonian Institution, Clark Uni­ versity and W orcester. Polytechnic In­ stitute. has invented a now rocket that is reported to be a terrible engine of war, with an altitude range of 70 miles straight up into the air and a distance range of at least 200 milee. The Goddard rocket is propelled by a perfected gas engine installed In the lower part of the shell; the ex­ plosions that generate the power com­ ing from cartridges that are fed into the chamber by a dock-like tim e de vice. The • rocket does not require a cannon to start it on its flight, the. journey beginning from any point where a man can get. The weapon feature of the rocket is in the head. GERMAN OBJECTIONS WAY BE DISREGARDED BY THE ALLIES Paris.—The Temps says that the allied and associated governments seem to have decided to disregard the German objections concerning Hanzig and aEo vland, by force if - nec­ essary, Polish troops at this Baltic seanort The newspaper adds that .con­ cerning the question of the Polish frontier the allied governments seem inclined to create about Ijanzig a neutral state in order to avoid attach­ ing this part of the coast either to Germany or to Poland. BUILDING ACTIVITIES IN ' SOUTH SHOW IMPROVEMENT. Washington.—The reports to the •department of labor from its field events this week show a decided im­ provement in building and constrac- tion activities. “A decided optimistic tone is found in reports during the last 10 days.” The southeastern states show great­ er improvement than any other group. Mew York city le 3ds with the south next It will be some days before the south is back to normal. MRAVE SITUATION” EXISTS IN FOREIGN RELATIONS. Berlin.—The allied note regarding th *- lahding of General Haller’s troops nl Danzig has created. a. grave situa­ tion in foreign relations, the ultimate effects of which cannot yet be esti­ mated, says a dispatch to The Vos- isisehe Zeitung from Weimar. Before dispatching its . reply, the message adds, the government con­ sulted all the party leaders, and they *re said to have given the German answer their' unqualified approval.' CONFERENCE DELAl HUS RA D RESULTS MARKED CHANGE 'IN ATTITUDE /O F GERMAN POPULATION IN OCCUPIED TERRITORY. STUBBOlLr " . . ..... Movement for the Establishment of a Rihineland Republic Has Lost AU Force; Trouble is Brewing.. Coblenz—The slowness of the peace conference in Paris In reaching a de­ cision on the term s of’ peace with Ger­ many is Jiaving a marked effect on the attitude of the population n the occu­ pied area. W hereas, late as last Jan­ uary, when the elections for the as­ sembly were held, the people of Cob­ lenz and throughout the American sec­ tor were almost reconciled to the for­ mation of a buffer state on the west bank of Rhine and willing to accept any term s indicated by the* allies, so long aa they cqqld. get. peace and food, yet the situation now is entirely differ­ ent. The stubborn unrepentance of the social rulers is reflected both in the German press in Coblenz and in the attitude of the population. Interpreting the delay in Paris as a sign of weakness and indecision, the Germans have added an almost boast­ ful tone here and lose no occasion of asserting their determination to re­ main German and hold the entente strictly to a German internretatioir of President Wilson’s 14 paints. The movement for, establishment c-f a Rhineland republic has lost all force and the leaders here* are openly work­ ing to prepare the population for pos­ sible consequences of a refusal of the German government to sign the peace treaty. POLISH TROOPS REFUSE A LANDING AT PORT OF DANZIG Amsterdam—The aU>ed note to Ger­ many demanding that Polish troops be allowed to land at Dauz'g declared refusal by Germanv would be regard­ ed as a breach of the armistice, a Ber­ lin dispatch said. The German gov. ernment replied it could not take the responsibility for ' permitting the Poles to land at Danzig, but was pre­ pared to faoilitate a landing at Stettin, Koenigsberg. MemeI or Libau. A PROSPECT THAT POTASH MAY BE PROCURED FROM GERMANY Washington.—-Importation of potash from Germany may be resumed at an early date. Senator HUnhcock was ad­ vised br Bernard M. Baruch, now in Paris, that Germany will exchange potash for foodstuffs. The message came through the state department. No details were given concerning the basis on which the exchange will be made or the quantities of potash that Vill be supplied. Neither was it indi­ cated whether shipments may be made prior to the complete establishment of peace and during tbe armistice now in effect. Some doubt is expressed here as to whether or not commercial rela­ tions may be resumed with Germany Mntil the treaty of peace has been per­ fected. . It is said that this is the first announcement of arrangements under which any article of merchandise from Germany may be sent to the United States. TIME AND PLACE OF MEETINGS OF CONFERENCE KEPT SECRET Paris.—!increased precautions have been taken to safeguard President Wilson and the premiers with whom he is .in daily conference. So care­ fully have the plans been made that even the chief Cf the American secret service squad is uninformed as to when the meetings will take place. Up to the present some of the news­ papers fyave carried in their morning editions a schedule of the movements of President W ilson., with the result that crowds invariably gathered to witness the arrival' of President Wil­ son and his conferees. ' There has been no special incident to bring aboupt this extraordinary care. SIX UNMASKED BANDITS ROB . .DETROIT BANK AND ESCAPE DetroiL M!ch:—Herding fourteen persons; including several women pa­ trons into • lavatory and vault of the westside branch of the Commonwealth State Bank here, six unmasked ban­ dits robbed the institution of SJO OOfl in cash and unregistered Liberty, bnnds. which officials say may exceed 865,000 in value. Fifty thousand dol­ lars in currency had been removed from the branch to the main office, only a few hours before the hold-up. SPOKESMEN FOR IRISH RACE CONVENTION GOING TO PARIS .Washington.—Passports were grant­ ed by the state departm ent to Frank P. W alsh, former joint chairman of the war labor board; Edward F. Dunn, former governor of Illinois, and Mi­ chael K. Ryan, former Pennsylvania^ public service commissioner, who are going to Paris to present Ireland’s claims at the .peace conference as spokesmen .of the Irish race conven tlon held a t Philadelphia. ' • CAUSED NO DELAI DELIBERATIONS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HELD AT NIGHT OR DURING ODD HOURS. PRESIDENT IS WELL SATISFIED The Revised Covenant Is Practically Finished and is in Hands of Com­ mittee for Final Drafting. President Wilson, who has virtually been silent since his return to Pari3, oelieves the time is opportune for a statem ent which will allay apprehen­ sion over the delay and show the re­ vision.of the covenant of the league of nations had proceeded at night ses­ sions, .,without any interruption to the other main questions. President Wilson issued the follow­ ing statem ent: “In view of the verv surprising im­ pression which seems to exist in some quarters that' it is the discussions of the committee on the league of na­ tion that are delaying the final formu­ lation of peace, I am very glad to take the opportunity of reporting that the conclusion of this commission were the first to be laid before the plenary conference. "During the last few days the com­ mission has been engaged in an effort to take, advantage of the criticisms which the publication of the covenant has fortunately drawn out. A com­ m ittee of the commission has also had the advantage of a conference w'th representatives of the' neutral states who are evidencing a very deep inter­ est and a pract'callv unanimous desi'e to align themselves with the league. "The revised covenant is now prac­ tically finished. It is in the hands of a committee for the final process of drafting and will almost immediate­ ly be presented a second time to the public. “The conference of the commission have invariably been held at times when they could not interfere with the consultation of those who have undertaken to formulate the general’ conclusions of the conference with re­ gard to the many other complicated prob’ems of peace. So that the mem­ bers of the commission congratu’ate themselves on the fact no part of the'r conferences have ever interposed an^ form of delay." SPIRIT OF OLD GERMANY SHOWN IN MARKED MANNER Berlin.—General Hoffman, real vic­ tor at Tonuenberg, and General von Leitow-Verbeck are forming a new volunteer corps as a division of guarIs to preserve order at home, and pro­ tect the frontiers of the empire. Before the Bismarck statue in Keon- igplatz, the national union of German officers, with the imperial colors at the head of which was a band of offi­ cers playing the kaiser hymn, formal­ ly made an oath of allegiance in the form of a resolution regarding the ■frontiers of the empire founded by the "Iron Chancellor.” Just as the procession was passing the British embassy. General .Luden- dorff turned the corner from Vaterden Linden. Some one recognized him and In an instant he was surrounded and there were wild cheers. Ludendnrff was obviously perturbed, by the dem­ onstration. which in the present mood of suspician against him entertained by many can do him no good service. NAMES OF 5.500 SOLDIERS SO FAR LISTED AS MISSING Washington.—General Pershing re­ ported to the war department there are still 5.500 officers and men of the expeditionary forces listed as missing. This total compares with the British official figures of IRl 008 missing, and the French of ZtULOOO. All of the 5.500 names liavs been reported as “missing” in casualty lists already published, the report said. D’s- interm ents of bodies from isolated graves Tn the central' isolated ceme­ teries is furnishing additional identi­ fication in a number of cases. BERl IN GOVERNMENT-PROTFftT ANENT LUDENDORFF INCIDENT Berlin—The government has pro­ tested to army officers against the demonstration they gave for General Ludendorff on the ground that it has given opponents an opportunity to assert that everything is the same in Gerianny as under the former emneror. If Ludendorff asked for a .tribunal to hear hi3 case, the government, it is announced, would grant his renuest and would see that it was, composed of impartial persons. AUSTRALIA FIRMLY OPPOSED TO JAPANESE AMENDMENT Paris.—William' M. Hughes, the pre­ m ier of Australia, made the state-- m ent to the !Associated- Pres3 that he was unalterably In opposition to the proposed Japanese racial equality amendment to the covenant of the league of nations br to any form of it, however mild. "Australia.” Mr. Hughes said, “can­ not accept this proposal which' strikes at the very roots of the policy that we have m aintained jjo long.” . PEACE CONFERENCE RUDELV A U E ID A IA BTIIG ED DELEGATES HAVE BEGUN TO REALIZE RUINOUS COST OF DELAYED ACTION. DIFFICULT OF EXAOfiEBflTION Germany Not Now at Our Feet Un- ■able to Resist Payment of Any Sen­ tence Allies Might Impose. Paris.—Announcement of the out­ break of a bolshevist revolution in Hungary has produced something ap- proaching-panic in the Paris peace con­ ference. The fact itself has surpris­ ed those who have been .warned re- peatdly for the last tour months of facts as contrasted with theories of the eastern Buropean situation, nor does the Hungarian incident complete the list of anxieties. Paris knows that the bolshevists have conquered Hun­ gary. It knows also 'that the Ru­ manian situation' is becoming critical, and it has- almost geenral testimony from those returning from Poland that Poland is completely undermined by bolshevists. . It would be difficult to exaggerate the gravity of the situation in Burope as a result of four months without de­ cision following the victory of last No­ vember. Then, Germany was at our feet, prepared to accept our sentence, incapable of resisting it. Today it is the testimony of man; who know Germany that German; will sign no treaty of peace such as we may sometime formulate, that she will invite us to occupy her territory, believing that our armies of occupa­ tion ' will be corrupted by bolshevism, while her propertv will be protected from dometic disorder. As it stands now. the Paris confer­ ence has reached a deadlock wholly comparable with the deadlock which existed in the congress of Vienna thai when Nnnoleon returned from Blhn Conceivably the news of advancinf bolshevism will act upon the Paris conference as the bad news of the landing of the great emperor. WHAT LOUISIANA GOVERNOR SAID TO GOVERNOR ALLEN New Orleans.—Characterizing as “rash, venomous and full of prejudice” the statem ent made recently by Gov­ ernor Allen, of Kansas, th Pt the cotton reduction plan in the South means tbe Southern cotton producers are “at­ tempting to trade upon the miseries of the world,” Governor Pleasants, of Louisiana^ declared that' the Kansas executive “exhibited a gross ignorance of the true situation.” Governor Pleas­ ants’ statem ent was made upoti his ar­ rival from Memphis where he was in conference with farmers, bankers and merchants on the cotton reduction plan. “The wheat farmers of Governor Pleasants said, growing their grain for less than it is worth, nor- will they be compelled to carry a billion dollars’ worth of it for many- months or years. The govern­ ment is going to pay them $2.26 for $1 wheat and all of us are willing to pay the difference. We, therefore, are showing a great deal of altruism to­ ward the suffering Kansas .wheat farmer.” Kansas.” ‘are nof THOUSANDS OF JEWS KILLED IN POGROM IN BUENOS AIRES New York.—Thousands of Jews were slaughtered in a “pogrom” con­ ducted in Buenos Aires January 9. ac­ cording to a statem ent issued here by the Zionist organization of Amer­ ica, quoting a report it has received from the Argentine capital. According to this report, a “white guard” raided the Jewish quarters, "killing a number that cannot be es­ timated because all the bodies were buried in a common grave.”. Jews and persons who resembled Jews were stopped on the street, it was said, and even vynagogues -were raided’ on the grounds that Maximalists were being hidden there from the police. - WITH HANDS NAILED.TO THEIR SHOULDER BLADES Vladivostok, Siberia1--Bodies of two Russian officers, with the same cut iff and the hands nailed to the shoul­ der-blades, were found in First river, near here. All Canadian officers claim the discovery corroborates the stories of bolshevik outrages. Canadian offi­ cers and soldiers have been instructed to go only in pairs after nightfall in Vladivostok streets and to carry arms. The political situ atio n 's increasingly disturbing. SOLDIERS COUNSELED NOT TO EMPLOY CLAIM AGENTS TRIUMPH OF ANARCHISTS IS OVERSHADOWING ALL OTHER QUESTIONS AT PARIS. A U I D RESULTS D E W If We W ant Germany to Save West; ern Civilization, it Seems at Pres­ ent That We Must Pay Price. Paris.—The triumph of bolshevism inHungary overshadows, eveerything in Paris just now, even the discus­ sions of the council of ten. Perhaps it would be 'better to say that all’eyes are turned on the big ten to see what action they will finally take, because action of some kind is absolutely necessary unless the allies are willing to admit they are unable to combat the spread of bolshevism, or how 'they explain away responsibili­ ty for the present state of things in the east which, rightly or wrongly, public men and the press in France lay at the doors of the council of ten because of its failure to respond to the appeals of the moderates in Russia, as well as of the republican- govern­ ment of Poland. One of the most amazing resu’ts of this situation is that France lias been forced to turn to Germany as a nossi- ble savior. Saint Brice writing in this morning’s Journal takes the peace delegates to task for not intervening in time to back up Count Karolyi who was a friend of the entente, even be­ fore the downfall of the Hapsburg monarchy. He says: “While the powers were losing days and weeks deliberating on the future of the world they flattered themselves they were opposing the Red ,VHe from the east, a barrage formed bv Poland and Rumania, and that behind this shelter they could force Germany to the wall. "The barrier has been for"ed even ■before they had time to build it. Dan­ ger arises right in the heart of Europe. If we don’t hold it back there will be nothing between it and w e't-rn Fn- rope but Germany, who. as might be expected, is hastening to strike a bar­ gain for her help. Germany alone is in a position to save western civiliza­ tion' if we admit that even she is capable of doing so. If ws want her to do it, we must pay the price.” LEAGUE INDEPENDENT WOM1" ! VOTERS MAY BE FORMED St. Louis.—A league of women vot­ ers. urged by Mrs. Carrie Clianmnn Catt. president of the National Ameri­ can Woman Suffrage Association, and recommended by the executive coun­ cil, will come before the annual cor vention for Snal action ,its supporters declaring there would be scarcely any opposition. The recommendation was taken up but final vote was postponed. That the league is to be non-parti­ san was assured by the adoption of a recommendation containing a reso­ lution stating the national association “shall not affiliate with any political party nor endorse the platform of any party nor support or oppose any politi­ cal candidates unless such action shall be recommended by the board Cf directors.” The resolution does not limit the liberty of action of any mem­ ber as an individual. W ith three delegates voting “no” the convention voted to support the amendment in the original form. BILLION DOLLAR FUND FOR FINANCING FOREIGN . TRADE Washington.—The government’s bil­ lion dollar fund for financing foreign trade soon will be opened to Ameri­ can exporters through loans from the war finance corporation. Regulations now being prepared by the corpora­ tion to cover advances will nrovide for the lending of sums up to $50,000.- 000 to any individual firm, corporation, or export association, for a maximum of five years, on adequate collateral.

He says that the other day. when pitching,-off' some liny ■from a liigli mow; he discovered the bird, which had become - wedged be­ tween, planks. The gobbler was. alive, thin as a turkey ghost, but able to dis­ pose ’of a hot uiash. Turkeys are said to be hard to raise, at least iir this part of the country, but Mr, .lnnes claims an indestructible breed. Ilis friends urge liiin to go into the business and propagate such en­ during species.

I advise you to turn right around and go back." “Why?” . “ 'Causp if ye try to serve any writs ye'll git into trouble.' uThatlSinterestingu Iansw ered. “I am not seeking a quarrel, but I do want to see'liow the people feel about the payment of their rents.” "Say mister, look down into that val­ ley there,” the stranger began. “See all them houses—they’re, the little houses o' the poor. See how smooth the land is? Who built them houses? Who cleaned that land? Was it Mr. Livingston? By hokey nettle! I guess not. The men who live there built the houses an’ cleaned the land. We ain’t got nothin’ else—not a dollar! It’s all gone to the - landlord. I am for the men who made every rod o’ that land an’ who own not a single rod of it. Years an’ years ago a king gave it to a man who never cut one tree or laid one stone on another. The deeds say that we must pay a rent o’ so many bushels o’ wheat a year but the land is nc- good for wheat, an’ ain’t been for a hundred years. Why, ye see, mis­ ter, a good many things have happened in three hundred years. The land was willin’ to give wheat then an’ a good many folks was willin’ to be slaves. By bokey nettie! they had got used to it. Kings an’ m agistrates an’ slavery didn’t look so bad to ’em as they do now. Our brains have changed—that's what’s the m atter—same as the soil has changed. We want to be free like other folks in this country. America has growed up around us but here we arc livin’ back in old Holland three hundred years ago. It don’t set good. We see lots o’ people that don’t have to be slaves. They own their land an’ they ain’t worked any harder titan we have or been any more savin’. That’s why I say we enn’t pay the rents no more an’ ye mustn’t "try to make us. By hokey nettie! You’ll have trouble if ye do.* The truth had .flashed upon me out of the words of this simple man. Un­ til then I had heard only one-side of the case. If I were to be the servant of justice, as Mr. Wright had advised, what was I to do? These tenants hnd, been Grimshawed and were being Grimshawed out of the just fruits of their toil by the feudal chief whose remote ancestor had been a king’s fa­ vorite. For half a moment I watched the wavering needle of my compass nnd then: “If what you say is true I think you are right.” I said. “I don’t agree with you,” said young Lntour. “The putroons have a dear title to this land.. If the tenants don't want to pny the rents they ought to get out and make way for. others.” “Look here, young man, my name is Josiah Curtis,” said the stranger. “I live In the first house on the'right- hand side o’ the road. You may tell the judge that I won’t pay rent no more—not as long as I live—and I won’t git out. either.” “Mr. Lntour, you and Purvis may go on slowly—I’ll overtake you soon,” I said. Theyw ent on and left me alone with Curtis. He was getting excited and I wished to ailny.his fears. . . . “Don’t let him try to serve no writs or there’ll be hell to pay in this val­ ley,” said Curtis. .. “In that case I shall not try to serve the writs. I don’t want to stir up the neighborhood, but I want to know the facts. I shnli try to see other tenants and report what they say. It may lead to a settlement.” We went on together to the top of the hill near which we had been stand­ ing. Far ahead I saw a cloud of dust but no signs of Latour nnd Purvis. They must have spurred their horses into a run. The fear came to me that Latour would try to serve the writs In s'pite of me. TIiey were in his pocket What a fool I had been not to call for them., My companion saw' the looki bf concern in my face. ’ ' ' ' ■ ' - •'.- “I don’t like.that, young feller,” said Curtis; “He's In fer trOubie.” '.He ran toward his House, ,which .was' only a few' tods beyond us. while I started on in.pntouit of/the' twp men at top. speeds. Before my-.horse. had taken a' dozen jumps I Heard a.’hprn blowing' behind mb' and'its. toho -in th'e hills. .

A little IaHead I i-.conld. flee meffrunnlng but .of the fields. My horse Had bejmb tO lather, foi the sun was hot. My companions were far ahead. I .'could not see tlie' dust of their heels now. -I gave up try­ ing to catch them and checked the speed of my horse and went on at a walk. The horns were still sounding. Some of them seemed to .bo, miles away. About twenty rods'ahead I saw three riders in strange costumes come out' of a dooryard and. take ,the road at a wild, gallop In pursuit of Latour and Purvis. They had not discovered me. I kept, as calm as I could In the m idst'of this, excitement. ' ■I passed the'-house from which the three riders had just turned into the road. A number of women and an old man and three or four children stood, on the'porch.' TTiey looked at.m e in silence as I was passing and then be­ gan to hiss and1 jeer. It gave me a feeling I have never known since that day. I jogged along over the brow of- the hill when, at a white, fram e house, I saw Jhe center toward which all the men of the countryside were coming. " Suddenly I heard the hoof-beats of a horse behind me! I stopped, and looking over my shoulder saw a rider approaching me In the costume of an Indian chief. A' red mask covered his face. A crest of eagle feathers circled tlie edge of his cap. W ithout a word he rode on a t my side.; I knew not then that he was the'mfln Josihh Cur­ tis—nor ccjuld I a t any time have sworn that it was he. ' A crowd had assembled around the house ahead. I 'could see-a string of horsemen Coming toward it from the other side. I wondered what was go­ ing to happen to me. W hat a shouting nnd jeering- in the crowded dooryard! I could see the smoke-of a-fire. We reached the -gate. Men. in Indian masks and costumes gathered around u s.. ■ “O rder! Sb-sh-sh,” was the loud com­ mand of the man beside me in whom I recognized—or thought that I did—the: voice of Josiah Curtis. “W hat has happened?” ' - “One o’ them tried to serve a writ an’ we have tarred an’ feathered him.” Just then I heard the voice of Pur­ vis shouting back In the crowd this impassioned plea: “Bart, for God’s sake, come here.” I turned to Curtis and said: "-“If the gentleman tried to serve the. writ he acted without orders and de­ serves what he has got The other fel­ low. is simply a hired man who came along to take care of the horses. He conldn’t tell the difference between a writ and a hole In the ground.” “Men, you have gone far enough,” said Curtis. “This man is all right. Bring the other men here and put ’em on their horses an’ I’ll escort ’em out n: the town.” - They brought Latour on a rail amidst roars of laughter. W hat a bear- 1T shall send the sheriff and a aosse,” he said with a troubled look. “Pardon me, but I think it will thake a bad m atter worse,” I answered. “We must not forget that the pa- troons are our clients,” he_remarked.' I yielded and went on with my work. Ih the next week or so I satisfied my­ self of the-.rectitude of. my opinions. Then came the most critical-point in my history—a conflict with Thrift and -Fear on one side and Conscience on the other. , The judge rafsed my salary. I Want­ ed the'money,, hut-every duy-I would have to lend my help, directly or indi­ rectly, to the ..prosecution of claims which I conld not ,believe, to be just. My heart wen.t but.of my.work. I -be­ gan to fear m yself., For weeks I had not the courage tb take issue .with the learned judge. One evening I went to his home de­ termined to put an end to my unhap­ piness; After .a littfe talk I told him frankly that I thought the patroons should seek- a friendly settlement with their, tenants. .“Why?” he asked. “Because th eir: position is unjust, un-American and untenable,” was my answer. He rose and gave me bis hand and a smile of forbearance in considera­ tion of my youth, as I took if. I left inuch' irritated and spent a sleepless'night in tlie course of which I decided to cling to the, ideals of Da­ vid Hoffinan and Silas Wright.. ' In the morning I resigned my place and asked to be relieved as soon as the convenience of the judge' would allow it. He tried to keep me with gentle persuasion and higher pay, but I was firm; Then I wrote a long letter to my friend the senator. - Again I had chosen my way and with due regard to the compass. I They Brought Latour on a Rail Amidst ' Roars of Laughter, like, poultrified, be-poodled object he was—burred and sheathed in rumpled gray feathers from his hair to his heels.- The sight and smell of him scared Rie horses. There were tufts of feathers over his. ears and pn his chin. They had found great joy In spoiling thnt aristocratic livery in which he had arrived. Then came poor Purvis. T hey had just begun to apply the tar and feath­ ers to him when Curtis had stopped the process. He had only a shaking Uff of long feathers' around his neck. They lifted the runaways into their saddles. Purvis started off at a gallop, shouting “Come on, Bart," but they stopped him. “Don’t be jn-n, hurry, yonng feller,” said one of the Indians; and then there was another roar of laughter. “Go back to yer work now,” Curtis shouted, and turning to me added: “You ride along with me and let our feathered friends -follow us.”- So we started up the road on our way hack to Coblesktll. Onr guide left us at the-town-line some three mites beyond. : • Lntour was busy picking his arras and shoulders.

The Man With the Scythe. It was late in June before ! was able to disengage myself from the work of the judge’s office. ■ Meanwhile there had been blood shed back in the hills. One of the sheriff’s posse had been se­ verely wounded by a bullet and had failed to serve ,the writs. The judge had appealed to the governor. People were talking of “the rent war.” .What a joy entered my heart when I was aboard the steamboat, at last and on my way to all most dear to me As I entered Lake Champlain I con­ sulted the map and decided to leave the boat at Chimney Point to find Kute Fullerton, who had written to the schoolmaster from Canterbury. My aunt had said In a letter that old Kate was living there and that a great change .had come over her. So I went ,ashore and hired a horse of the ferry­ man. I passed through MIddlebury and rode into the grounds of the coljege, where the senator had been educated, and on out to Weybridge to see where he had lived as a boy. I found the W right . homestead—a comfortable white house at the head of a beautiful valley with wooded hills behind it— and rode up to. the door. A white- haired old lady, in a black lace cap was sitting on its porch looking out at the sunlit fields. "Is this where Senator W right lived when he was a boy?" I asked. "Yes, sir,” the old lady answered. “I am from Canton.” She rose from her chair. “You from Canton!" she exclaimed. "Why, of all tilings! That’s where my boy’s home is. I’m glad to see you. Go an’ put your horse in the barn.” I dismounted and she' came near me. “Silas W right is my boy,” she said. “W hat is your name?” “Barton Baynes,” I answered as I hitched my horse. “Barton Baynes! Why, Silas has tord me all about you In his letters. He writes to me every week. Come and sit down.' W e But down together on. the porch. “Silas wrote in his last letter that you were going to leave your place in Cohleskill,” she continued-to my. sur­ prise. “He said that he was glad you Itad decided not to stay.” It -was joyful.new s to me, for the senator’s silence had worried me and I had begun to think with alarm of my future. “I wish that he would take you to Wiishington to help him. The poor man has too much to do.” “I should think it a great privilege to go,” I answered. “My boy likes yon,” she went on. “You hn vd been brought up just -its lie was. I used to rend to. him every eve­ ning when the candies were lit. How hard he worked to make a man of him­ self I I have known the mother’s joy, I can truly say, ‘Now let toy servant depart in peace.’” “ ‘For mine eyes have seen thy sal­ vation,’ ” I quoted. “You see I know much about you and much about your aunt and uncle,” said Mrs. W right She left me for a moment and soon the whole household was gathered about, me on -the porch, the men hav­ ing come up from the fields. They put my horse in the barn and pressed me to stay for dinner, which I did.'

N ear the far end of these thick-sown .acres he stopped. “Her e’s where the bury in’, begun,” said my guide. “The first hole ,in the hill was dug for a Fullertoh.? There were many small monuments and slabs of m nrble-rsome . spotted with lichens nnd all in. commemoration of departed Fullertons. . .. “Say, look a’ that,” sqid my guide as he pulled aside thq stera-of..a leafy brier red with roles. “Jest read that, m ister.” My keen eyes slowly spelled out the time-worn words on a slab of stained m arble: Sacred to the mgmory of - Katherine Fullerton 1787-1806 “Proclaim his Word In every place . That they are dead who fall from grace.” A dark shadow fell .upon the house- of my soul and I heard a loud rapping at its door which confused me until, looking out, I saw the strange truth of the m atter. Rose leaves and blossoms seemed to be trying to hide it With their beauty, but in vain. “I understand,” I said. “No ye don’t. Leastways I don’t be­ lieve yc do—not correct.

(Prepared by the .Unlted States. Depart­ ment "of Agriculture.) One difficulty in aetting.eggs as early In the spring as is -iecessary for early hatchers, if; the natural system of in­ cubation ' is followed; is In finding broody hens at the proper time. If nat­ ural incubation be depended upon exclu­ sively the poultry raiser m ust wait until the hens are ready to s e t This is not true, however, if an. Incubator is available, for if the eggs ore fer­ tile they can be started a t any time the operator desires. The lncnbator should tie operated in a fairly warm rOom, preferably a cel­ lar, as a protection' against outside tem perature clianges. Sudden changes in temperature in the loom are- to be avoided. The machine should be dis­ infected thoroughly before being used with a solution of reliable coal- tar disinfectant.' ' Instead of using such a solution, a small receptacle containing one-half ounce of permanganate of potash on which one-half ounce of formalin has been poured-m ay be shut up in the incubator. The resulting gas will thoroughly disinfect the machine. Aft­ er disinfecting the incubator should be run empty for several days to get it Into good operating condition. A fter the eggs are In place the temperature should be held at 101% to 102 degrees Fahrenheit -the first week, 102 to 103 degrees the second week, and 103 the third week. The eggs usually-are turned for the .first time at the end-, of the . second day, and twice daily through the eight­ eenth or nineteenth day. The eggs are cooled outside the hatching chamber once daily after the seventh and up to the nineteenth day. Moisture should be furnished In artificial incubation Removing Hatch From Incubator. in the South, in high altitudes, and when the Incubator room is dry. This may be done by sprinkling the eggs with warm w ater or by placing a wet sponge or pan of w ater under the egg tray. , During the hatching perlod-carefully fill the lamp and trim the wick each day. It is best to trim the wick by scraping off the burnt portion rather than by cutting tbe wick.. The lamp should not be filled entirely. After the lamp is filled it should be closely ob­ served for a tim e to make sure that the flame does not get too high. SPRING CONDITION OF HENS Lack of Bxercise and Too Much Feed 'o f Dry Kind Often Cause of - ConMipation. In the spring fowls often show up In constipated condition. It is usual­ ly caused by lack of exercise, green stuff, grit and too much feed of a dry kind. You notice it first on the soiled feathers, next the clogging of the vent. ThLs immediately calls for a . physic. ,. One tablespoonful of cas­ tor oil or half-teaspoonfnl of epsom salts to each fowl,-and the last may be continued In broken doses in food .or water for several' days after.” Feed them boiled potatoes^ all the cabbage and other green stuff at hand, and make them hunt for their grain. These constipated fowls are no good as breed- ers.untiiyou get them toned up. 4- I POULTRY NOTES | • Carelessness in purchasing hatch­ ing eggs retards flock improvement. * * * After all; it is the little’ things that count ,for the most In poultry raising. . * * * Experience teaches us that.

SAGE TEA DARKENS; ... HAIR TO ANY SHADE Don’t stay" Gray!- Here's an. Old- tim'd • Recipe that!-Anybody . ' •- . can Apply. The ime of Sage, and Sulphur for. re­ storing faded, gray lialr to Its natural colpr dates back to grandmother’s time: Shh used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrac­ tive. W henever'her hair took on that dull., faded or streaked appearance this simple , m ixture was' applied'with wonderful effect 3 ut brewing a t home is mpssy anil outmf-date. Nowadays, by asking *t any drug store for a bottle of “W yeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get-this fam ous old preparation. Improved by. the1 addition of other in­ gredients. which can be depended up­ on to restore natural color and beauty to the ‘hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with It and draw this through ■ y o u r' hair, taking one strand a t a time. .By m orning' the gray hair disappears, and after an­ other application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.—Adv. Creating Atmosphere.. “I understand this comedian tells- some of- his funniest stories in hotel bar rooms - after the performance.” “He does, eli?" said the vaudeville magnate. “He’s boon delivering, his monologue before a street scene' in-a deserted village, but lf.it will help, him to ‘put over’ his act any better I’m quite willing to provide him with a ‘drop’ showing the interior of a first- class bar room, with a shining mahog­ any bar. a brass rail, mirrors, cut glass and rows of realistic. bottles.”—Bir­ mingham Age-HeraId. SKIN ERUPTIONS ON THE FACE are unsightly and m ar the appearance of many a woman whose, face would be otherwise attractive. There is.no need for this. JUst get a- box of Tet- terine and use it regularly, and you will be surprised how quickly pimples, blotches, itchy patches, etc., disappear and - how soft and ciear the skin be­ comes.

R W. McKey, retired farmer, N. Main oi., Mooresville, N. C11 says: “Iliad back­ ache and was nearly down with lumbago. Sharp pains often caught me across my Kidneys when I bent over and I could hardly .straighten. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved the pains in my back and Icould C-t r'iund without any trouble.

This is not only the first time In the history of the South that there ts a consolidated movement of all business interests of the South, but the first time that a thoroughly sys­ tematic organization has been formed that is keeping In touch with the movement and ts fully posted on the situation. Thfen of wealth and much business experience, who are recognized as leaders, who Iwve given much thought to this matter, state that there Is not a possibility of failure. That as a re­ sult of conditions brought on by the war and the program now put on in the cotton belt, great changes are in­ evitable, and as certain as day follows night, throughout the entire belt these changes will mean great pros­ perity throughout Uie entire South.' “There is of course a regular prop­ aganda being put, forward to combat the movement of the farm ers to or­ ganize. co-operate and cut their c<it- ton' acreage.

War is followed not only by death and misery, increased taxes, and other things, bat the pbys'cal man is also called upon, it. would seem to pay a pecalty. ‘Sleeping sickness,” now be. Iieved by physicians to he an afteri math-of influenza and first cousin of infantile paralysis, has appeared in many sections of the conn try. Five cases of this “epidemic oi comiiolenee” have been eaietuily segregated and are being invest! gated in hospitals in Richmond Ya., by a special committee of physicians appointed at a call meeting of the Bfate i-oard of health. ' . Of the five cases nnder suspicion one is from South Richmond, two from Horth Carolina, and the re maiuing two from points in Yir ginia. At Kanstm City maoy persons are reported to be sufienug from the disease, Among noteworthy cases there are Miriam Johnson, 14, who has been sleepiug for five weeks; Adelaide A dwood, asleep for 57 days and Emanuel Mach- oyee, master mechanic of the Uanta Fe Railroad, who has been uncon Bcions for 120 days. Two deaths recently occurred in Chicago. The symptoms of the disease are marked by dizziness, aching and drooping ot the eyelids and drows­ iness and sore throat.. In addition to these symptoms, it is said, the patient seems to l03e every particle of strength; sometimes is nuabie to make any voluntary movement and resembles a wax figure in expres eion. Should these sympiomsi^ap 'pdar, A dbcttff should be 'Summoned immediately, or' a report made to t.be Board of Health. ; The “sleeping sickness” report Cd in this country is not the same as prevails in Africa.

Attorney Ham mer stated that Hall, who was native of Montgomery county and known as a desperado in that couh onee sent word to Sheriff‘Y>.heMcKenzie, of that county, that had the sheriff’s grave dug.. After Hall was !pardoned from Statb prison he moved to Transyl vania county and set up,a still plain view, so that he could kill the officers when they came, is what the revenue officers say, but he was captured without a fight.

Carolina Watchman. Eider J. R. Sutt is pastor of the Baptist church in Belton, Texas, and writes entertainingly in his home paper, The Belton Times, January 17, 1918. He -has soroe- >ing to say about the president visiiiug the pope tbat people will do well to think about. We quote: President Wilson has paid otieis ance to the pope at last. This comes as a distinct surprise to th> American people Millions ot out people will not approve his con duct in this matter. Just think the world’s greatest living demo ciat paying obeisance to a would tie world ruler, just after the war the main purpose of which was to make the world safe tor democracy While President Wilsonwasscrap ing and bowing to the pope of Rome, his Catholic private secre tary had full charge of -the Presi­ dent’s office in Washington. I was lot President Wilson going to Europe but he did not represent tne American people when he call ed on the pope. This iB a Protes­ tant country, and it is a profound pity that President Wilson did not confine bimself to political matters, and let the pope alone. AU peo­ ple who have not sense enough to get in out of a 6torm, knows that the pope wants to rule the world politically as well as religiously. The dream of the pope is a dream of world power. I ask then, in all Beriousness, Why was it necessary tor President Ailson to call on the ^ip^^fireBidenb-ii-WHstiH •da"--th,e representative of the American people, bnt he has certainly mis­ represented the great majority ot them. This is not a Catholic coun try, and never will be, and lor that reason. Preiident Wilson should have left the pope alone, in his pa triotic neutrality. The world knows that the sympathy of the pope was tor Germany, and , now for the President of this nation to kiss his hand is Bimply out of the question. Il President Wiisouhad gone as an individual, it would have been a different thing But aB president of this nation be could not go that way. Every man and woman in this country has the right to have any kind of religion that he wants; but the president, or any other official, bas no right whatever, to show any favor to anything that look9 like a church. The pope represents the Catholic church, and every act of his life is to the spread ot its influence. E very man has the right in this country to worship God as he sees fit, or not to worship, just as he chooses. Religion is a voluntary matter just as the individual elecis for himself. IMs not. the function of the state to dictate, or. govern in matters religious. For that reason and official, or a representative of the people, should steer . clear of showing favoritism in any way any church, or denomination, may be that so many that cannot The Naked Truth. One of the best writers of war articles is Georse Pattnlo. It was he!who first wrote of the great vie. tory of theU. S. Marines at- Cha­ teau.Thierry and Belleau Woods. His articles are clear and simple find be puts forth the truth, of sit­ uations as he finds them in unmis. tnkable terms. Here is an extract from a late article which illustrates the attitude of the soldier in ser­ vice on the vital issue of the day, particularly the so-called league of nations: “Not a man in the third army but wants to sr<> home. They are longing to gel back. They leel. that America has aceoin plished wlia’ ii ser. our to do and that .the sooner the army returns . to the United Staiies the better.

After it has been absorbed by the towel they wring the towel and from the accumulation of steam is produced the liquor. A simple process and yet it is .said that it is one. that will produce results.

Arey1 of Iredell county, farmers have shipped several'. car loads of fat hogs to Richmond, Va;, thereby realizing better prices fpr them on foot than could be obtained on the local markec when dressed! Mr. Chas. S. Jones, of the Depart­ ment of Agriculture, was present to assist Mr. Arey. in the grading of these hogs, thereby enabling': the. farmer to know just what class his hogs were in and at the same time about the price he might expect :fbr his hogs. This is.a business that.tbe farmers .of Iredell countv will carry oh more extensively next year, as they fifid it to be very profitable and easy to market t.heir surplus hogs at better returns than can be found at home. I want to say to the farmers of Davie county that it is time that we should be thinking about, doing as Iredell and other counties are doipg. Many farmers in this county now have plenty of pigs and by. planting a few acres in peas, soy beans. pota toes and corn they can be -made to go on the market next winter in good shape with but very little, ex­ pense. Money crops, such a3 cotton and Lobacco usually require extra la­ bor but. a few extra. hogs can be handled .with but very little expense. W, F. REECE, County Agt. “Vf. 8. S.” • Former Editor Dead.

Paris.;—The preliminary pcace creaty will be ready by Easter and the Germans will be asked to come and sign it at the end of April or the be­ ginning of May, Prem ier Lloyd George of - Great Britain declared in an inter­ view with Stephane Lauzanne, editor ' The Matin. In answer to a rem ark by M. Lau­ zanne that what troubled public opin­ ion was not so much the delay, as the secrecy in which the peace negotia­ tions were wrapped and, the fear that there was some divergence of opin­ ion, the British premier, said: "I affirm absolutely that there is no divergence among the negotiators. They are often confronted with tech­ nical difficulties which can only be settled after close study. Take the questions of reparation. In substance the allies have one common principle, which I once set forth thus: ‘Ger­ many m ust pay up to the last farthing of her power.’ ‘But is it sufficient t<>, draw up a bill and hand it to the enemy? Must we not require guarantees and must we not study the terms, methods and forms of dA iyed payments? Must we not be able to say to our adversary when he pleads inadequacy of re­ sources: ‘Yes, you can go as far as that and you m ust do it and you must do that.’ In a word, shall we simply present a bill or collect the money, all the money possible? Well, this is where the work comes In.” The confident statem ent of Premier Lloyd George that the peace treaty will be concluded by Easter is sup­ ported by predictions repeatedly made by less prom inent members of the peace conference and dispelled much of the hopelessness and uncertainty in which many important problems of the conference seemed to have been enshrouded.

B. Cooper, at Wilmington, N. C. Governor Allen’s telegram was sent in reply to one from Mr. Coop­ er, who asked him if he “would Join Southern cotton people' in asking the federal government to cuarantee 35 cents a pound for middling cotton up' to June, 1920, oroso long as the present wheat prices are guaranteed.” In Teply, Governor^.Uen wired: “I will be glad to join Southern cotton people in asking the federal government for a guaranteed cotton price for all cotton that has not been held for speculative prices during the war. This guarantee, of course, would apply to the new crop.” COMPARATIVE STRENGTH OF ARMIES ON NOVEMBER 1ST Washington.—The central powers faced odds of greater than two to one in mobilized troops wilen Germany gave up; the fight last November.

The indicated aggregate al­ lied Stroneth on the date was more than 16.700.000. This situation is disclosed in the figures received by the war depart­ ment from Prance giving the pre<ont .status of the belligerent armies.

COUNCIL ‘ OF FOUR IS SADLY TRYING PATIENCE OF THE WORLD BY DELAY. PRESIDENT IS J SICK Utmost Care is Necessary to Prevent W hat is Now a Bad Cold From Becoming Something Worse. Arrival of King Albert and Premier Paderewski Taken as Sign of Crit­ ical Nature of Discussions. Paris.—Reassuring news from Pres­ ident W ilson's bedside'was sent to the peace delegates, although the news in­ dicated that the President’s condition was such as to make it advisable that he remain in his room. Study of the case has caused Rear Admiral Grayson, the President's phy­ sician, to reach the. conclusion that the President is not suffering, from in­ fluenza, but that the seventy of the cold is such the patient w ill' require careful watching. The illness of President Wilson has. caused numerous' wild rumors to circulate in the city, and not even the delegates themselves are im­ mune. Colonel House had heard that the president was really down with a case of influenza but Rear Admiral Grayson personally assured both him and the premiers that Mr. Wilson moiely had a bad cold. He warned them, however, that the utmost care must be exercised to prevent it from getting worse. Informally the proceedings of he council were related to the president. King Albert of Belgium, who present­ ed his country’s case to the council made an excellent impression, but it is understood to have been given no promises. The Czecho-Slovak ques­ tion was again discussed as was repa- rations. The opinion was expressed by a re­ sponsible British authority that tlie peace treaty would be ready for sign ing at a very early date. ••IF BELGIUM IS TO LIVE THE COUNCIL MUST ACT” Paris.—The institution of the coun­ cil of four 10 days ago met wita a certain amount of ironical comment, which merely indicated how far the patience of the world had been tried up to that point, but on the whole the new development was hailed- with general approval in all the capitals o£ the allies, as a means by which the di­ latory discussions of the larger body might be cut short and the essential term6 of the peace treaty speedily arrived at. Unfortunately little has taken place during the last few days to encourage this first hope. On the contrary, the feeling of unrest and distrust is grow­ ing stronger and stronger. The press is semi-officially informed from day to day that satisfactory progress has been made during discussions, but the general impression nevertheless ob­ tains that no definite decisions have been reached on any of the. most vital points in the treaty, that there has been and is likely to be much discus­ sion among the chief delegates upon questions which it was understood it would be the duty of commissions to decide, and, finally, that proposals were being put fofrward which at any rate in some quarters were regarded as little short of disastrous. The sudden arrival of King Albert in an aeroplane was taken as a sign of the critical nature of the council of four discussions. The arrival of Premier Paderewski is interpreted in the same mway. a3 the consequence, of the uncertain hand­ ling of the Danzig' problem by the council of four. Paris.—Belgium’s case has ben laid before the peace conference by the most distinguished advocate Belgium could have chosen. King Albert has been in Paris for the past three days and in numerous conferences with the representatives of the great pow­ ers he has outlined the needs of his country and told ot the steps that must be taken immediately if Belgium is to be restored. A member of the Belgian peace dele­ gation told -the 'Associated'Press today that, shorn of all its diplomatic nice­ ties, what King Albert told the coun­ cil,, might, be summarized thus: “The time of promises has passed. If Belgium is to live, the council must act." The Associated Press is able to state that three questions of vital im mediate importance to the reestab lishment of Belgium, financially, eco nomically and -politically, were dis cussed; The -first question was the immediate advance to Belgium, of about ten billion francs, the second, the exportation to Belgium from Eng- Inud and the United States of raw m aterials and lie third the cession ot Belgium of the left bank of the L’Escaut river and the Lemberg penin­ sular. NORTH CAROLINA WANTS HER OWN REGIMENTS TO PARADE Columbia, S.

QILBERT BROS.&C0.BALTIMORE, MO, HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR FAVORITE TOBACCO? As Plain as the Nose on .Yoitr Face—Just Smell It ‘ Smokers do not have to put tobacco in their pipes to find out if they like it. They can just rub the tobacco between the palms of their hands and smell it. The nose is an infallible guide to smok­ing enjoyment. AU- smoking tobaccos employ some t flavoring "to improve the flavour and burning qualities of the leaves", to quote the Encyclopedia Britannica. Naturally, there is considerable differ* ence in the kind of flavorings used, and the nose quickiy detects this difference. TUXBDO Tobacco uses the purest,’ most wholesome, and delicious of -all flavorings^-chocolate. And the almost universal liking for chocolate in a great measure explains the widespread popu­ larity of T u XEDO Tobacco. Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco* .plus'a dash of pure chocolate, gives ,TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance your nose can quickly distinguish from any _other tobacco. Try it and sea. «r TOE JOINB Bh.

Some said she’d crossed the lake an’ gone awny over into York state, some said she’d drowned herself.

It was kind o’ like a fire in his belly.

Some day, fore he dies, I’m goin’ to talie up that headstun an’ hide It, but lie’ll never know it’s done—no. sir—not ’til he gits to' the judgment seiat anyway.” The old man rose and straightened himself and blew out his breath and brushed Iiis hands upon .his trousers by way' of stepping down into this world again out of the close and dusty ioft of his memory.. But. I called him back. “W hat lias become of Enoch?” I asked. “Wal, sir, Enoch started off West bout three year ago an’ we ain't heard a word from him since that day—nary a word, mister. I suppose we will some t'me. He grew Into a good man, but there was a kind of a queer streak In the blood, as ye might say, on both sides kind o’. We’ve wrote letters out to Wisconsin, where he was p’intin’ for, an’ to places on the way, but we can’t git no news ’bout him. Mebbe he was killed by the Injuns." I could see a glimmer of n light In the thicket of pines down the valley. I unhitched and mounted my horse. “Take the first turn to the right," s-aid the old man as he picked up his scythe. ‘Tm very much obliged to you,” I said. “No ye ain’t, nuther,” he answered. ‘Leastways there ain’t no reason why ye should be." . My horse. Impatient as ever to find the end of the road, hurried me along and In a moment or two we were down under the pine grove that surrounded the house of old Squire Fullerton—a big, stone MSuse with a graveled road around It. A great black dog came barking and growling at me from the front porch. I rode around the house and he followed. Beyond the windows I could see the gleam of candlelight and moving figures. A man came out ol' the back door as I neared it. “Who’s there?” he demanded. “My name is Barton Baynes from St. Lawrence county. Kate Fullerton is my friend and I wish to see .her.” “Come up to the steps, sor. Don’t git oft yer horse—'til I’ve chained the dog. Kate’ll be out In a minute.” He chained the dog to the liitchlng post and as he did so a loud, long, wailing cry broke the silence of the house. It put me In mind of the com­ plaint of the damned -which I remem­ bered .hearing the minister describe years before at the little sclioolhouse in Lickityspllt How it harrowed me! The. man went into the house. Soon he came ou^of the door with a lighted candle In his hand, a woman following. How vividly I remember the little mur­ mur of delight that came" from her lips wheu he held the candle so that its light fell upon my facet I jumped off my horse and gave the reins to the man and put my arms around the poor woman, whom I loved for her sorrows and for. my debt to her, and rained kisses upon her withered cheek. Oh God! what a moment it was for bpth of us! The way she held me to her breast and patted my shoulder and said “my boy !”—In a low, faint, treble voice so like that of a child—it is one of the best memories that I take with me into the new life now so near, from which there is no returning. She led me into the • house. She looked very neat now—In a black gown over which was a spotless white apron and collar of Iace—and much' more slender than when I had seen her last. She took me into a large room In the front of the house with a carpet and furnltnre, handsome once but now worn and decrepit. Old, time- stained engravings of scenes from the Bible, framed in wood, hung on the walls. I told all that I had heard from home and of my life in Coblesklll but observed, presently, a faraway look In her eyes and judged that she was not hearing me. She whispered: “Sally?” “She has been at school in Aluany for a year,” I said. “She Is a t home now and I am going to see her.” “You love Sally?” she whispered. “Better than I love my life.” , A g a i n she whispered: “Get m ar­ ried !” ’ “We hope to In 1844. I have agreed to meet her by the big pine tree on the river bank at eleven o'clock the third of June, 1844. We are looking for­ ward to that day.” A tall, slim woman entered the room then and said that supper was ready. Kate rose with a smile and I followed her into the dining room where two tables were spread. One had certain dishes on it and a white cover, frayed and worn. She led me to the other table which was neatly covered with sndwy linen. The tall woman served a supper on deep blue china, cooked as only they could cook In old New England. Meanwhile I could hear the voice of the aged squire—:a weird, empty. Inhuman voice It was, utterly cut off from his intelligence. It came out of the troubled depths of his misery. So that house—the scene of his great sin which would presently lie down with him In the dust—was flood­ ed, a hundred times a day, by the un­ happy spirit of its master. In the dead of the night I heard its despair echoing through the silent chambers. The look on her face, even while I was speaking, Indicated that her thoughts wandered, restlessly, In the gloomy desert of her. past. I thought of that gay, birdlike youth of hers of which the old man with the scythe had told me, and wondered. As I was thinking of this there came a. cry from the aged squire so loud and doleful that it startled me and I turned and looked toward the open door. Kate rose and came to my side and loaned toward my ear whispering: “It is my father. He is always think­ ing of when I was a girl. He wants me.” She bade me good night and left the room. Doubtless It was the^ out­ raged, departed spirit of that golden time which was haunting the old squire. A Bible lay on the table near me' and I «nt reading it for an hour or so. A tall clock la a corner solemnly, tolled the hour of nine. 'In came the tall woman and. asked me in thej brogue of the Irish: “Would you like 'o go to bed?” • “Yes, I am tired.” She took a candle and led me up a broad oaken stairway and into a room of the most generous proportions. A big four-post bedstead, draped In white, stood against a wall. The bed, sheeted In old linen, had quilted cov­ ers. When I undressed I dreaded to put out the' candle. For the first time In years I had a kind of child-fear of the night But I went to bed at last and slept rather fitfully, waking often when the cries of the old squire came flood­ ing through the walls. How I, longed for the light of the morning! it came at last and I rose and dressed and went out of doors. Kate met me at the door when I went back Into the house and kissed my cheek and again I heard those talf-spoken words: "My boy.” I ate my breakfast with her and when I was about to get Into my saddle at the door I gave her a hug and, as she tenderly patted my cheek, a- smile lighted her countenance so that It seemed to shine upon me. I have never forgotten its serenity and sweet­ ness. CHAPTER XVII. I Start In a Long Way. We reached Canton at six o’clock In the evening of a beautiful summer day. I went at once to call upon the Dunkelbergs and learned from a man at work in the dooryard that they had gone away for the summer. How keen was my disappointment ! I went to the tavern and got my supper and then over to Ashery lane to see Mi­ chael Hacket and his family. I found the schoolmaster playing his violin. “Now God be praised—here is B art!” he exclaimed as he put down his instrument and took my hands, in his. “I’ve ,heard, my boy, how bravely ye’ve weathered the capes an’ I’m proud d’ ye—that I am !” 1 I wondered what- he meant for a second and then asked: ‘ “How go these days With you?” "Swift as tlie weaver’s shuttle," he answered. “Sit you down, while I call the family. They’re out In the kitchen putting the dishes away. Many hands make light labor.” They came quickly and gathered about me—a noisy, happy group. The younger children kissed me and sat on my knees and gave me the small news of the neighborhood. How good were the look of those friendly faces and the full-hearted pleasure of the whole family at my .corning! •‘W hat a joy for the spare room I” exclaimed the schoolmaster. “Sure I wouldn’t wonder if the old bed .was dancin' on its four legs this very min­ ute.” “I intend to walk up to the hills to­ night,” I said. . *Dp to the hills!” he exclaimed mer­ rily. “An’ the Hackets lyin' awake thinkin' o’ ye on the dark road! Try It, boy, an’, ye’ll get a track with the ruler and an hour after school. Yer aunt and nnele will be stronger" to stand yer cornin’ with the night’s rest upon them. Ye woutdn;t be rontiii them out o’ bed an’ they after a hard day with the hayin’ ! Then, my kind- hearted lad, ye must give a thought to Michael Henry. He’s still alive an stronger than ever—tiianlc God I So. altnough I longed for those most dear to me up In the hills, I spent the night with the HacKets and the school­ m aster and I sat an hour together af­ ter the family lia<i gone to bed. “How are the Dunkelberg’s?” ,1 B "Sunk In the soft embrace o’ lux­ ury,” he answered. -"Grimslyaw made him ; GrImshaw liked him. He was always ready to.lick the boots o’ Grini- shaw. It turned out th at Grimsliaw left him. an annuity .of three ,thousand dollars, which he can enjoy as long as he observes one condition.” “W hat Is that?” ' ' “He must not let his daughter mar­ ry one Barton Baynes, late o' the town o- Ballybeen. How is that for spite, my boy? They say it’s written down- In the will.” I think, that he must have seen the flnifle of color playing on my face, for he quickly added: “Don’t worry, lad. Tbe will o’ God is greater than the will o' Grimshaw.

She says, ‘Keep away. Don’t alarm liiro, or he’ll bundle us off to Europe for two or three years.’ “So there’s the. trail ye. travel, my boy. It’s the one that keeps away.

I wanted to see how it. looked aind, to be quite frank, I wanted some of*the people of Canton to see how I looked, for my clothes were of the best cloth and cut In the latest fashion. Many stopped me and shook my hand—men and women who had never noticed me before, but there was a quality In their smiles that I didn’t quite enjoy. I know now that they thought me ii little too grand on the outside. W hat a stern-souled lot those Yankees were! ‘‘All ain’t gold that glitters.” How often I had heard.that version of the old motto! “Why,, you look like the, senator when he is just glttin’ home from, the capital,” said Mr. Jenison. J I met Betsy Price—one of my school­ mates—on the street, Slie was very cordial and told me that the . Dunkel- bergs had gone to Saratoga. * “I got a letter from Sally this morn­ ing,” Betsy went on. “She said that young Mr. Latour was at the same ho­ tel and that he and her father were, good friends.” ' I wonder If she really enjoyed stick­ ing this thorn into my flesh—a thorn which made it difficult for me to fol­ low the advice of the schoolmaster and robbed' me of the little peace I- might have enjoyed.

C W T y HQWLEflS QUASHED Many Counties Will Probably Have to W ait Until Next Year Before Apportionment Is Available. Applications for federal and state aid in building highways have been re­ ceived from 31 different counties by Mr. W. S. Fallis, chief engineer of-the state highway commission. Calamity howlers to the contrary, all appearances are that the new high­ way commission will have all it can handle for two or three years at least. The requests for federal aid are not all - complete ,many not stating the mileage of roads wanted, but since the limit of construction this year will be about $5,000,000 worth of roads, many counties will probably have to wait until next year. The applications have been filed in the order received. The complete list of counties which have made application, and the order in which they are on file with the state highway commission, follows. Montgomery, Beaufort, Mitchell, New Hanover, Sampson, Watauga. Clay, Cleveland, Columbus, Swain, Guilford, Johnston, Macon, Durham, Martin, Wayne, Brunswick, Surry, Hyde, Yadkin, Transylvania, .

Continuation of health work after the men of the United States Public Health Service are removed was the subject of a conference between Dr. B. E. W ashburn of the International Health Board, Dr. W. S. Rankin, sec­ retary of the State Board of Health, Pr. K. E. Miller and Dr. A. R. Sweeney, the last twd being of the Public Health Service. Dr. Miller has been working at Tar- boro, loaned to the State Board of Health by the Public Health Service, and is now leaving that post, his suc­ cessor having been appointed. Dr. Burdett Robertson, who originally was from Yancey county, who has been doing health -work in Alabama, takes his place. Dr. Sweeney is posted at Fayetteville in a position similar to that-of Dr. W aller,here In Raleigh. Liike Dr. W aller, he will be relieved July I. The local authorities there, however, want to keep up the work started, and that was the subject for this conference. Twelve counties have been organ­ ized thiis far on the standard plans fl' the state board of health. This calls for a $6,000 budget, $3,000 from the county in which the work is done, $1,- 500 from the State Board of Health and a like amount from the Public Health. Service. ‘ '. ’W are the Wily Bear. Commissioner of Agriculture W. A. Graham is warning North Carolina cotton growers against what is re­ ported to be a movement throughout the cotton belt by dealers to get the advantage of growers in m arket price of cotton through a scheme to ad­ vance money on cotton. The dealers offer to take cotton from growers and advance $100 a bale ard sell by May I; The dealers have $5 commission a bale when the transaction is closed. It is claimed that this scheme enables bears in cotton prices to supply de­ mands, and defeats the real purpose of cotton holding to advance m arket prices. Women After Clerkship. W ith the authorization by the Gen­ eral Assembly of anothel’ clerk for the office of state auditor, the women of North Carolina are getting interested to the point of insisting that a woman should be appointed to the place. The position-- carries with it a salary of $1,800 annually. - Old State Bonds Redeemed. State Treasurer Lacy and his as­ sistants began a tremendous job of paying out $2,720,000 in redeeming old six per cent North Carolina bonds. Instead of floating another bond is­ sue now to take up the old issue, Treasurer Lacy is taking them up with spot cash whic> was borrowed. Later, when the bond m arket becomes more settled a four per cent issue will Se floated to take cs>re of the loan. TKe bonds were issued about 32 years ago to pay for the construction'of the ^orth Carolina railroad. Some New Enterprises. Two new charters ' of corporations were filed with the secretary of state. Details of the charters follow: Bryson City Service company; Bry- ion City; garage: authorized capital '10.000. subscribed $250: duration un­ limited; R. P. Abbott. Alma Wheeler; T. E.

Fishblate, of Washington, formerly assistant secretary of the in- terstate commerce. commission, as special counsel, are to have represen­ tatives-here April 3 for a conference with Mr. Fishblate. The members of the corporation commission are invit­ ed to take, part in the conference in preparation for vigorous prosecution of the suit. The 10 shipping points interested in this suit include Greens­ boro, Raleigh, Goldsboro. Rocky Mount. Durham and others of this central and eastern section of the state. The principles involved are much the same as in the suit the cor­ poration, commission is prosecuting on behalf of the entire state. University Wins Estate. Based on the construction-- that the testator has no legal heirs other than the University of North ' Carolina, which, under the law of the state comes in possession of all property for which there are not shown to be other l3gal heirs in the winding up of es­ tates of deceased citizens, the State University wins in the supreme court in the fight for the $50,000 estate oi tl* late Haywood Bizzell, of Wayne county. The property, under the will, was left to the wife during her life and then go to legal heirs. It was ad­ mitted In evidence that circumstances of birth out of wedlock, and death without children left the deceased without the “legal heirs” specified. Mack and Frank McCullen sued for the estate, and then the court below directed that the State University be made a party to the suit. In the trial below. Judge Daniels held that the McCullens were the rightful inheritors of the estate, but the supreme court reverses the lowei court. To Gather Crop Data. As a result of the success attend­ ing the efforts last year of the boards of county commissioners of this state to provide the bureau o’f crop esti­ mates, department of agriculture, with statistics regarding the acreages and yields of North Carolina fields, Frank Parker, state field agent of this bureau, has called upon all such boards to provide again this year foi the making of such reports. In his letter to the boards of the State, Mr. Parker said 80 counties last year creditably reported on almost half of the farmed , area of the state. This indicates a progressive siprit equal to our renowned western states. We, like they, have learned that these figures tell a definite story. These facts are the foundation for progress and prosperity, as well as our besi evidence to outsiders of this being a land of unrealized opportunities.’’ North Carolina Casualties.

By the use of trenches in tlie great wn r the opposing forces adopted means of offense and defense that long antedate the invention of fire­ arms. The steel helmet reappeared after more than 200 years of disuse, find many a soldier owes his life to the fact that the curved surface of tits head-covering deflected a bullet. Tiie trench periscope is an adaptation of a device that was invented nearly three centuries ago. The barbed-vdre entanglement Is only another form of Uie ancient abatis, and the fact fhat It Is now often painted green to make It less easy to see Is a link that joins It even more Intimately to Its proto­ type. The pits with sharp spikes at the bottom and the caltrops—four- pointed iron instruments that always stand with one point upward how­ ever they may fall, are survivals, of medieval warfare. The catapult of the Itom ois that once threw stones recently cast explosive grenades from trench to trench. The Oerinan ilnnle projector goes back to the days when armies deluged each other with burn­ ing oil and burning pitch, and the use of poisonous gas was anticipated by the Chinese, who for centuries used "stinkpots.” ■ At the Zoo. Bobby, aged 7, was making his first visit to the zoo. He looked arouiid at the various animals, and coming to a cage marked “Female,” he rushed up to Ills mother in great excitement. “Oh, mother,” he said, “I’ve always wanted to see a ‘Female,’ and here he is!”—Cartoons Magazine. Natural Conclusion. “Hello, Black, thought you were dead?” “Whatever gave you that Idea?” “Heard a couple of- men praising you the other day." imperious Guest Made Great Mistake in Engaging in Controversy With Hefty Waitress. “A guest came bulging out of the dining room yesterday with rivulets and rills of ketchup coursing down his face,” related the landlord of the Petunia tavern, “and yelling that he had been assassinated or misconstrued or something. ’Peiireil like h e , Imd bit onto a tack in his fritters, and when he chided Sylpltie, the hefty waitress, she - busted the condiment over him. Also lie wanted to know what I was going to do about it, “ ‘Well, Mr. Hollar,’ says I, ‘when you found a tack In your viands It was an accident, but when you talked so .hat she smashed the ketchup on your head to a young lady who served her apprenticeship as a waitress on a boarding car for a railroad con­ struction gang, that was contributory negligence, and I can’t do anything for you except' to hand your bill to you aud wish you well on your jour­ ney.”—Kansas City' Star. His Unfortunate Mistake. A doleful affair has just occurred In one of onr neighboring states. A man had been importuned by his wife, to as­ sist in the hour of spring liousedean- ing. At an unguarded moment she asked him to beat the carpet. The shock was too great for the poor fel­ low and his intellect sagged in the middle and slowly sank to the ground. Instead of beating the carpet lie made’ such a convincing effort to heat his wife that “the neighbors were forced to Interfere.

Knoxville, Term "For five or six j ears.” she con­ tinued. "I had been in a dreadfully rundown and nervous condition, was awfully weak and suffered with spells of dizziness. I had terrible nervous headaches and my stomach was so weak I couldn’t digest even the lightest kind of food. I could, sleep verv little and became Sb des­ pondent that I was afraid nothing could help me to regain my health. "I wouldn’t have believed it if anj body had told me any medicine would cause me to gain eight pounds in ten days, but that i3 exactly what Tanlac has done for me. Soon after I started taking it I began to eat better, sleep like a baby and feel just fine and my steady improvement has simply been wonderful. I have thrown away all my other medicines and will stick to Tanlac, for I think it is the finest medicine on earth.” “Tanlac is sold by leading drug­ gists everywhere.” ADVERTISEMENT . to A. E. F.

How Diptheria is Contracted. One often hears the expression. “My child caught a severe cold which" develop­ ed into diptheria," when the ^truth was that the cold had simply left’ the little one particularly susceptible to the wan­ dering diptheria gertn. If your child has a cold when diptheria Is prevalent you should take him out of school and keep him off the street until fully recovered.'as there is a hundred times more danger of his taking diptheria when he has a cold. When Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is given it quickly cures the cold and lessens the danger of diptheria or any other germ disease being contracted. Paris--W here ' Napoleon in and King Edward VII of England spent many leisure hours the American en­ listed men are now at play. The fam­ ous yacht club at Cannes, founded and patronized by King Edward, and St. Sauveur, where the third Napoleon was wont to go with his court, indicate the variety of attractions offered by the Y. M. C< A in the leave area system oper­ ated in co-operation with the military authorities. Prom the Alps to the Pyr­ enees and from the Brittany coast to the Riviera, there are seven ”Y’’ leave areas in which 60,000 soldiers can be entertained at one time. Preparations 1 are how under way to increase these mueh-appreeiated facilities to double their present capacity. Representatives of the army and of the Y. M. C. A. are now traveling from one end of Prance to the otlier seek­ ing new spots In which to set up leave areas. The experiment at Aix-Ies-Bains has been successful from the start, as America now knows pretty well from first-hand information carried home by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., who organized the woman’s canteen work at Aix. “Aches and Pains’’ was an ideal spot, for the experiment, but six others have been found and put In operation, each equally satisfactory as the original model. Consequently it is with opti­ mism that the army and the “Y" seek to increase the centres where sure cures have been found for homesick doughboys. Location, climate, hotel accommoda­ tions, opportunities for entertainm ent and sight-seeing and the moral and physical cleanliness of the area are all-important in the selection of a leave resort. As soon as a site 13 selected the 'largest available is ob­ tained by the Y. m : C. A. as its main center of operations, men and women are assigned to service and negoti­ ations are begun to secure reduced prices from such entertainm ent en­ terprises as Cannot be duplicated by the Y. M. C. A. and every effort is made to give as much service as pos­ sible. The army provides transpor­ tation and pays the hotel bills, thereby enabling the soldier to enjoy all the attractions formerly restricted to kings and emperors and malefactors of great wealth. The Jetty Casino at Nice and the Municipal Casino at Cannes are the centres of attraction in the Riviera for the 8,600 men who can be accom­ modated in this area. Many officers favor this M editerranean section and there is. a “Y” club for them. Every­ thing except the gambling that was stopped by the government at the be­ ginning of the war -is at the disposal of the Americans. Golf and tennis and other athletic sport3, bathing, boating and ihs companionship of the local population are the most popular at­ tractions. - nrnir— ‘ iir~“—------- D5 P j|||||ljj|||U...""«« CopyrlahtWW byJkj* Reynoia Tobacco Co.

MostHave Good Character To Purchase Pistol. On and after April I. all persons desiring to purchase a deadly weapon of any kind must apply to the clerk of the superior court of the county in which he resides for a permit to purchase, and in mak­ ing application for Baid permit,' and before receiving it he most satisfy the clerk of the court of his good moral character and that the weapon desired" is necessary for the protection of his home - This law, to regulate the sale of con. cealed weapons, was passed- by the recent general assembly. The Act. Section I provides that it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation in the state to sell, give away or dispose of, or to pur­ chase or receive at any place with in the state from any other place within or without the state, with out first having received a permit from the clerk of the court of the county in which the purchase, sale or transfer is to be made, any pis tol, so-called pump gun, bowie knife, dirk, dagger or metallic knucks. Section 2 authorizes the clerk of the court of the various counties of the State to issue a permit to persons applying only after the ap. plieant has offered Sufficient evi­ dence of good moral character also that the weapon about to be pur­ chased is necessary for the protect­ ion of himself or o^bis home. The form of permit is also given. - Section 3 authorizes the clerk to deny a permit to any person who fails to offer satisfactory affidavits, oral or other evidence of his good moral character.

Section 8 provides for the confis­ cation by the court of the weapons forming the basis of the prosecu­ tion. Interest And Pride For North Car­ olina. In the announcement by General March of distinguished service crosses awarded for gallantry in action there is interest and pride to North Carolina in tne fact that the 30th division—the “Old Hick ory” or “ Wildcat” as you may prefer—stands well up in the fore­ front. General March has an­ nounced that a total of 3,918 cross- ses have-been awarded to Amer­ ican soldiers for exceptional brav­ ery in battle ard that in the list of divisions the 30th is 'Sixth. The regular troops led in the honors bestowed although the 30th' came ahead of General Ryan’s Hew Yorkers in the 27th. The chief ol staff reports that the second divi Sion of regulars won a total of 664 crosses or more - than double the cumber won by any other division. The first division of regulars came next with 300 awards to its mem­ bers and then the third division of regulars with 233. The 26th di­ vision composed of Hew England national guardsmen was fourth in the list with 229' awards while the Rainbow or 42nd division came fifth with 205 and North Carolina’s own guardsmen of the 30th Bixth with a total of 177. The other di­ visions in order following the 30th in precedence were as follows: Fifth, 163; 29th, 150; 77th, 146; 27th, 139; 32nd, 134; 91st, 134, 89th, 97; 78tn, 96; 79th, 80; 33d, 76; 4th, 66; 28tb, 68; 90tb, 67; 80tb, 42; 72d, 34; 7th, 30; 37th, 25; 36th, 24; 92d, 21; 81st, 19; 35th 17; 6tb, 10; 88th, I. The 30th division which helped to break.the Hiodenburg line, will soon, be home and preparations are being made in many CitieB and towns throughout ,North Carolina to give the boys a great reception and welcome home. North Caro­ linians should be, and we believe are, proud of the record made, not only by the 30th division men, but by men from this state in other di­ visions, including the 81st, and money contributed toward, defray­ ing the expenses of welcomes and receptions for eur returning sol­ diers is well spent. Let us give them a rousing welcome. Let us make them feel that we have fol­ lowed them with our hearts and sympathies through the bard cam paigns in France* onto-the bloody battlefields; in trench and hospitals and that we are glad, very glad, to have them back home. And as we do this let us- bow our heads and drop a tear for those in far­ away France who will never, re­ turn.—Greensboro Hews.

On and after Apiil I, 1919, all persons desiriug to - purchase a deadly weapon of any kind must apply to the clerk of the Superior court of the county iu which he resides for a permit to purchase, and in making application for said permit and before receiuing same he'must satisfy the clerk of the court that he is of good moral character and that the weapon de­ sired is necessary for the protection of his home. The law, to regulate the sale of concealed weapons, was passed by the recent general as­ sembly. Boys Had Rather Go Home. Gentlemen of the Jury! Let us stop all this foolishness about the' soldiers paradiug in every little town and hamlet in the state. Ths boys are tired. They want to go home,.

Three years ago it was: “He kept.ns out of war!” How it 1 is: “He will keep us out of war But did he keep us out of war! Hot by a long Chalk. Then why should we put any more confidence in the promise that he and his Smuts Cecil-made Constitution will keep ns out of war hereafter! A pretense which proved false is poor recommendation to a promise that on the very face of it is worth do more than the breath which it takes to utter it.—Harvey’s Week­ ly* _ Chamberlain’s Congh Remedy.

He kept Chippewa county so well behaved that the author of Michi­ gan’s prohibition law honored him by naming the law after him.

While the bill, was pending I met the puthor one evening in the pros­ ecuting attorney’s office, and while we were discussing it. I asked: ‘what are you going to call it, Merlin!’ “ ‘I’m going to name it-after you John, and if it makes Michigan as dry as you are I will be satisfied,” he replied, “Bone'has been ‘bone dry’ all his life; he not only abstains from alcohol, but from coffee, tea and tobacco.” In'five mouths operation of tele phones th^gpyernment has lost $4,000,00G>JiS£now there is. to be an increase In rates.

Strange that it took a man of B ailey 'S1Perspicacity six years to find it out. «W. S. S.” Debs threatened that a strike would tie up the country while he is in jail. Well, if the country can be tied up by one man, it is not worth the freedom it enjoys. “W. S. S.” The Wilson administration should either cease its calamity howls about unem ploym ent or it should prosecute the newspapers that are printing long columnsof advertisements of “help wanted.” “W. S. S.” A BEFUDDLED JUDGE. A federal judge has decided in a civil suit that the war ended when the armistice was signed, basing his decision upon President Wilson’s statement to Congress.. “Thus the war has come to an end.” Poor Judge! He evidently does not know that we: were in the war many months before President Wilson de­ clared us in. and we shall be in it many months after Wilson declared us out. “W. s. sr LAWLESS APPEAL TO LAW. The socialist press of Paris is hav­ ing a fit because Raoul Villain, who shot and killed the socialist leader, Jaures, has been acquitted.

"Bearing in mind that the allies must live next door to the people who for 2,000 years have periodically ravished Europe, we should leave to them the full measure of punish­ ment which must be inflicted upon a nation of moral perverts, rapisls, manglers of children, murderers of millions and pillagers without limit-, whose crimes have for four years covered the world with anguish and woe. O .herwise we shall reap a ha r- vest of humiliation and sorrow, and perhaps of unexpressed but latent hatred of millions whose love we now hold.”—Manufacturer’s Record. “W. S. S.” AND THE PEOPLE PAY. The expected has happened; a twenty per cent increase in telegraph rates has been inaugurated by Poli­ tical Master Genera! Burleson, who gives as his reason- the increase in wages ordered by him some months ago. Thisincrease was wholly un­ satisfactory to the operators them­ selves, who have ordered a referen­ dum on the question of a general strike for higher wages. Not long ago Burleson stated it was not prac ticable to grant higher increases be­ cause of the income of the com­ panies. Now he makes the state- nt that an increased charge of 20 uer cent over the old rates is neces- • v Ni oav advances already given. I , gi%es a clear intimation that any further increase in ‘wages will be followed by a. further increase in rates -*-And so it goes.' The service deteriorates as the wages increase, and the public meets the bills. Un­ der private ownership, while wage increases would necessarily be made, we could depend,' Upon efficient handling of ^ h^ business together w itjpgt. eflffirafcs and economies in overhead expenses as might make it Ufipecessary to ’raise the. rates. But, t^ank God! the day of the dic­ tators bas about run its course. “W. S. S.“ ".

Those who were on Canteen duty the day the 119th passed through re­ gard that day as a day of history, Theyhad the enviable experience of meeting and talking to the men of North Carolina who made history bn the otherside that will last as long as time. “The men,” said Miss Margaret Rankin, captain of the canteen team on the day the 119th went through, "were from Charlotte, Concord, High Point. Greensboro. Mocksville, Thomasville and other places in - this section of the state. It was wonder ful to hear them tell of their experi­ ences. In reference to the claim the 27th to ‘have gone through tne line lirst,’ the men said, "Theground that we gave the i7th they lost and we had to go back and regain it.” “Some one asked onfi of the men, “What did you do when the Germans drove you back?” The soldier look­ ed at the canteen woman who had addressed him, and in the greatest surprise, exclaimed, ‘Drove us back! Thev never drove us back. Wa nev­ er went back. We never lost an inch of ground.’ “The men were crazy about their Capt.—Capt Wright, of Knoxviile, Tenn. One said to me, ‘We never made an advance that our Captain was not with us, and we never went over the top that he did not lead us. When we parted from him we gave him a gold watch. The tears ran "down his cheeks and I don’t think there were any dry eyes amongst the men. The 27th went 11 miles beyond the line and the 30th went 29 beyond.

Let each community be very sensitive on this point.; Let no community be willing for another ^community to provide jobs for its heroes. These men are neither afraid nor ashamed to work.

WAR MINISTER O F’SAXONY IS- KILLED BY MOB OF SOLDIERS Copenhagen.—H err Neuring, war minister in the government of Saxony, was killed at Dresden by disgruntled soldiers to whom the m inister had re­ fused a hearing. The war' m inistry was stormed by demonstrators who dragged out H err Neuring and threw him into the Elbe, where he was shot and killed as . he tried to. swim to the bank. Wounded patients in the' Dresden hospitals, says the Dresden dispatch detailing the occurrence, collected in the morning in the theater square to nrotest against an order issued by Herr Neuring to the effect that the wounded in future should receive only peace-time pay. Five or six hundred men formed a procession to the war. ministry and sent'a deputation, to see the minister, who refused, however, to receive them.

To this extent, that with the exception of three euestions—Russia, the Ser­ bian outlet to the sea and Italy’s fron­ tiers—and these latter are independ­ ent—the American peace delegation has succeeded in forcing through the acceptance' of the entire urogram. It is understood that the question of Russia was debated a t • a recent session, hut prohablv the ultimate de- .cision will be to leave it for the league of nations.

Was No Vote Taken and Fail­ ing Further Rernarks President Declared Amendment- Adopted. Haris.—Discussion of the Monroe doctrine, amendment by the leageu- of nations commission is described by those present as having been of a dra­ matic character, concluding with a Bpeech -by President Wilson deprecat­ ing the opposition which had been expressed. ...He declared the 'Monroe doctrine was enunciated to combat the holy alliance and to hold back the threat of-abMlu^ism and,m ilitarism . It .wgs a source of surprise and discourage­ ment, the president said, to hear oppo­ sition expressed to such a doctrine and such a purpose. The British attitude had been in doubt until thfe last, but Lord Robert Cecil turned the scales by announc­ ing th at he saw no objection to the amendment in the form presented by the president. M. Larnaude, of the French delegation, followed Lord !Rob­ erts with objections to inserting, the Monroe doctrine. The Chinese also, offered objection to the amendment on the ground that its language was so extended that it' might validate certain principles and Claims affecting Chinese affairs. The president’s speech closed the discussion. There was no vote and twhen there wedt no further remarks the chairman said the amendment would be considered adopted. Ths commission then took up the next article of the covenant. HOW CAN ALLIES DEMAND ON GERMANY BE ENFORCED Paris.—While the members of the British and French parliaments are mobilizing for a proposal to exact nothing less than full .indemnification of -the allies by Germany for all the costs of the w ar and are- insisting on Germany's ability to pay;-the full bill, the American representatives on the reparations commission express con­ siderable doiibt whether' even the ac­ count to be presented to Germany un­ der th e ' plan adopted by the council of four (estimated at about $45,000,- 000,000, with the payment spread over a period Of 30 years) can or will be collected, in- full: They assert they can see the possi­ bility that the ways and means of holding Germany -to payment will grow ^weaker as Uie years pass and that Germany may take opportunity In later years to repudiate her obliga­ tions to the present allied powers un­ der the peace treaty. They recall the action of Russia in repudiating the restrictive Black sea clauses of the trpaty imposed at the conclusion of tlie Crimean war at a mdiinen-t when a new political constellation In Europe gave the emporor of Ruksia a fair amount of certainty that Russia could do this with impunity. HIGH PRICE SAID TO HAVE BEEN OFFERED AS BRIBE Albany. N. Y.—Emphatic denial was the answer of Richard H. Burke, of New York, to the charge of Senator George F. Thompson that Burke had offered him a bribe in the • form of a $500,000 campaign fund for the gov­ ernorship as the price of the sena­ tor’s support of the Carson-Martin bill to perm it street railway companies to increase fare rates. Burke, who is vice president of the Special Service Flooring Corporation and connected with the Federal Signal Company, not only denied making the $500,00.0 offer about which Senator Thompson had testified earlier in the day, but said he had never had any conversation concerning the governor­ ship with the senator.

OUR PRESENCE ON THE ..RHINE NO SIGN OF DEFEAT BUT MERELY AN A6RREEMENT. IUVE NEVER BEEIi DEFEATEtl American Officers Rapidly Learning Why Germane W ere Detested1 . Even Long Before the War. Coblenz.—The increasing insolence of the Germans in this area is a mat­ ter pf concern to those here who hoped the Germans, defeated in the war, would mend their manners and learn a lesson in dealing with foreign nations, but it would appear from lo­ cal indications . that all such hopes have been in vain. The Germans insist our presence on the Rhine is no sign of defeat; that we are here as the result of agree­ m ent; anfi-,this Jine of argument -leads them to expound curious ideas as to the rights of German civilians in the occupied areas. . ( A fe w d a y sa g o a c a se c a m e b e fo re a m ilitary tribunal, of Americans In which a German was . charged with breaking one of the American regula­ tions.. The solicitor for the Germans calmly arose and announced that the Americans had no right to submit Germ an. civilians to trial under' mili­ tary law. ' “Why,” exclaimed the American, “had not the Germans military tribu­ nals in Belgium and France?” “Yes,” agreed the German, “that is true, but then we were dealing with conquered countries .and conquered territories and you are here only as an outcome of the armistice.” One can imagine the amazement of the Americans. ‘ Such instances of German'insolence are daily brought before the American officers here who have to deal with Germans and they are learning rapidly why the Germans were detes;-d by the rest of Europe before the war. NEAR MUTINY OF AMERICAN TROOPS AT ARCHANGEL CAMP .Washington.—The- war .department issued an official statem ent confirm­ ing advices from Archangel that what amounted to a mutiny occurred among the American troops there on March. 30. A company of infantry, the mes­ sage stated, refused to entrain tor the front until personally ur, * t to do bo by Colonel George E. Stewart, com­ manding the American - contingent. Open threats were made of general mutiny unless a definite statem ent from W ashington insuring early withdrawal was forthcoming. The w ar department’s paraphrasf of the message follows: “March 30, a company of ,infantry, having received orders to go to the railroad front, was ordered out of bar­ racks for the purpose of packing sleds for the trip across the river to the railroad station. ’T he non-commissioned officer who was in charge of - the packing soon reported to the officers that the men refused to obey. At . this some of the' officers took charge, and all ex­ cept one man began reluctantly to pack after a considerable delay. The soldier who continued to refuse was placed In confinement. Colonel Stew- aft, having been sent for, arrived, and had the men assembled to talk with them ., “Upon the condition that the pris­ oner above mentioned vfras released, the m en'agreed to go.” DOMESTIC AFFAIRS GIVING * PRESIDENT MUCH TROUBLE Paris.—W hile the sessions of the council of four are occupying the chief attention of President Wilson, yet those close to the President who have seen him in recent days say he is giv­ ing serious consideration to the con­ dition of public affairs in the United States, particularly the situation ere-' ated by the fissure of appropriation bills and the necess’ty for calling an early extra session of Congress. MONROE DOCTRINE PROVIDED FOR IN A SPECIAL SECTION P aris--T he league of nations com­ mission adopted a new section to the covenant specifically providing that the Monrpe doctrine is not to be af­ fected by provisions of- the covenant. It was expected that the Japanese amendment-also would, be brought up again.. The President’s call on Baron ■Makino, head of the Japanese delega­ tion, had a heaping on this amend­ ment. ENGLISH LABOR PARTY HAS , CERTAIN DEMANDS TO MAKE London.—The national executive committee of the labor party, forrau-. Iated a statem ent of policy, demand­ ing that the-Paris conference put an end to discussions and make peace in accordance .with President-W ilson’s fourteen points.- The labor party also demands the withdrawal of the con­ scription bill ,the cessation of mili­ tary interference in Russia and the speedy -withdrawal from, tkt- country of British troops. *5,000,000,000 OF DAMAGES TO BE Raid, b y g e r m a n y WitHiN ' TWO YEARS. PEACE OBSTACLES REMOVED While, the Tension Has Been Greatly Reduced It is Yet Far From Being Entirely Removed; ' - Paris.—The responsibility of .the German emperor for the war and the means for bringing him to trial by. one of the allied governments, prob­ ably Belgium, have been definitely de­ termined upon by the council of four. This follows the definite decision on the term of reparations for war-dam­ ages, whereby $5,000,0000,OOO m ust be paid within the nert two years, and an inter-allied commission assess the remaining-damage for a-period of 30 years, beginning' May I, 1921. Thus, two of the great obstacles which stood in the path of the rapid attainm ent of peace have been re­ moved within the last twenityffour hours, and -the period of extreme tern sion over the inaction and .the failure to secure tangible'results is succeed­ ed by revived, confidence; over the great advance made towards a perma­ nent settlem ent How far these results are due to the intimations conveyed by the summon­ ing to France of the United States transport George W ashington by Pres­ ident Wilson is only conjectural. But it is at least a coincidence that the main difficulties began to dissolve from the time that this decision be came known. Theexact nature of these dicicul- ties are not disclosed. Friends of the President maintain they were largely of a minor character, not involving large principles, though the presi­ dent’s adherence to his “fourteen points” as the rigid limitation of the scope of action ,appears to have run all through the deliberations' during the tense period of the.last few days. While the tension has 'been greatly reduced, it'ls not entirely removed, as much depends on the continuation ol progress iwdth respect to the remain­ ing obstacles,, notably the Saar Val­ ley, the Rhine .frontier, the Adriatic issue and a number of lesser issues which are still short of final agree­ ment. The agreement on responsibilities for the war is understood to have been a compromise between divided reports represented by the commis­ sion of which Secretary Lansing is chairman. There was a practical agree­ ment on the general responsibility ol the German emperor .for bringing on the war, but division occurred on whether it was feasible to -bring him to justice before an international tri­ bunal. TEXAS STORM TAKES HEAVY TOLL OF LIFE AND PROPERTY Dallas. Texas.—Eighty-two lives was the toll of the storm which swept north Texas, southern Oklahoma and a section of. Arkansas, according to reports received here up to 10 o’clock tonight.

My hpnrt beat fast when I saw the. house and my uncle and Purvis coming In from the twenty-acre lot with a load of hay. Aunt Deel stood-oii the front steps looking down the 'road. Now and then her waving, handker­ chief went to her eyes. U nde Pea­ body came down the standard off his load and walked toward me. tlSay, stranger, have you seen any­ thing of a feller by the name o’ Bart Baynes?” he demanded. ttHave you?” I asked. ttNo, sir, I ain’t. Gosh a’mighty! Say! what have ye done with that boy of our’n?” ttWhat have you done to our house?” I asked again. ltBuilt on an addition.” ttTliafs what I’ve done to your boy,” I answered, “Thunder an’ lightnin’ I How you’ve raised the roof!” he exclaimed as he grabbed my satchel. Dressed like a statesman an’ bigger’n a bullmoose. I can’t ’rastle with you no more. But, say, I'll run ye a race. I can beat ye an’ carry the satchel, too.” We ran pell-mell up the lane to the steps like a pair of children. Aunt Deel did not speak. She Just put her arms around me and laid her dear old head upon my breast. Uncle Peabody turned away. Then what a silence! Off in the edge of the wood­ land I heard the fairy flute of a wood- thrush, “Purvis," you drive that load on the floor an’ put up the bosses,” Uncle Peabody shouted in a moment. “If you don’t like it you can hire ’nother man. I won’t do no more till after dinner. This slave business is played out.” • ‘“All right,” Purvis answered. ' "You bet it’s all right. I’m fer abo­ lition an’ I’ve stood your domineerin’, nigger-drlver ways long enough fer one mornin’. If you don’t like it you can look for another man.” Aunt Deel and I began to laugh at this good-natured, make-believe scold­ ing of Uncle Peabody and the emo­ tional strain was. over. They led me into the house, where a delightful sur­ prise awaited me, for the rooms had been decorated with balsam boughs 'and sweet ferns. A glowing mass of violets, framed in moss, occupied the center of the table. The house was filled with the odors of the forest, which, as they knew, were dear to. me. I had written that they might expect me some time before noon, but I begged them not to meet me in Can­ ton, as I wished to walk home after my long ride. So they were ready for me. I remember how they felt the cloth on my back and how. proudly they sur­ veyed it. “Couldn’t buy them goods . ’round these parts,” said Uncle Peabody. “Nor nothin’ like ’em—no, sir.” “Feels a leetle bit like Ihe butternut trousers,” said Aunt Deel as she felt my coat “Ayes, but them butternut trousers ain’t what they used to be when they was young and limber,” Uncle Peabody remarked. “Seems so they was get- tln’ kind o’ wrinkled an' baldheaded- like, ’specially where I set down.” “Ayes! W al I guess a man can’t grow old without his pants growin’ old, too—ayes!” said Aunt Deel. “If yer legs are in ’em ev’ry Sunday, they, ketch it of ye,” my uncle an­ swered. “Long sermons , are hard on pants, seems to me.” , “An' the longer the legs the harder the sermons—in them little seats over ’t the schoolhouse—ayes!” Aunt Deel added by way of justifying his com- plnlnt. ttThere wouldn’t be so much ' wear in a ten-mile walk—no I” The chicken pie was baking and the strawberries were ready for tbe.short- cake. ttFve been wallerln* since the dew was off glttjn’ them berries an’ vl’- Iets—ayes !” said Aunt Deel, now busy with her work at the stove. “Aunt, you look as young as ever,” I remarked. , ’ ' She slapped my arm and said with mock severity: “Slop that I W’y I You know better —ayes I” How vigorously she stirred the fire then. " “I can’t return the compliment—my soul! how you’ve changed—ayes I” she remarked. “I hope you ain’t fit no more, Bart. I can’t bear to think o’ you flyin’ at folks an’ poundin’ of ’em. Don’t seem right—no. it don’t!” ttWhy1 Aunt Deeli what in the world do you mean?" I asked. ... “It’s. Purvis’ brain that does the poundin’, J ,guess,” said my unde. ttIfS 'kind "o’ got the habit.'. It’s, a reg’- Iar beetle- brain. To hear him' : talk' '"yeTd th in k h e an’ you could 'ciean out the bull Mexican nation1—burrin’ acci­ dents. Why, anybody would suppose that yer enemies go to climbin’ trees as soon as they see ye cornin’ an’ that you pull the trees up by the roots to git a t ’em.” “A certain amount of such deviltry is necessary to the comfort of Mr. Purvis,” I remarked. “If there is no­ body else to take the responsibility for it he assumes it himself. His" imag­ ination has an intense craving for blood and violence. It’s- that type of American who, egged on by the slave power, is hurrying us into trouble with Mexico.” Purvis came in presently with a look In bis face-which betrayed'his knowledge of the fact that all the cob­ webs spun by his fancy were nbw to be brushed- away.- " Still he erijoyod" them-while they lasted and there-was a kind of tacit dalnr in his manner that they were, subjects regarding which no honest man could be expect­ ed to tell, the truth. As we ate our dinner they told me that an escaped ' SlaVe had come into a neigbboriing county and excited the people with stories of the auction block and of negroes driven like yoked oxen on plantations in- South Carolina, whence he had escaped on a steam­ boat. tT b’lieve T m goin’ to vote for abo­ lition.” said Uncle Peabody. ttI won­ der what Sile W right will say to that.” ttHeMI probably advise against i t ; the time isn’t ripe for so great a -change,” was my answer. • “He thinks that the whole m atter should he left to the gla- cinl action of time's forces.” Indeed I had spoken the view of the sounder men of the North. The subject filled them with dread alarm. But - the attitude of UBcle Peabody was significant. The sentiment in fa­ vor of a change was growing. It was now to be reckoned with, for the abo­ lition party was said to hold the bal­ ance of power In New York and New Hngland and was behaving Itself like a bull in a china shop. After dinner I tried to put on some <jf my old clothes, but found that my nakedness had so expanded that they would not cover it, so I hitched my white nmre on the spring wagon and drove to the village for my trunk. Every week day after that I worked 'n the fields until the senator arrived in Canton about the middle of August. On one of those happy days I received a letter from old Kate, dated, to my surprise, in Saratoga. It said: “Dear Barton Baynes: I thought I would let you know that my father is dead. I have come here to rest and have found some Work to do. I am bet­ ter now. Have seen Sally. She is very beautiful and kind. She does not know that I am the old witch, I have changed so. The others do not know—-it is better that way. I think it was the Lord that brought me here. He has a way of taking care of some people, my boy. Do you remember when I be­ gan to call you my boy—you were very little. It is long, long ago since I first saw you in your father's dooryard— you said you were going to mill on a butterfly’s back. You looked Just as I thought my boy would look. You gave me a kiss. What a wonderful gift it was to me then! I began to love you. I have no one else to think of now. I hope you won’t mind my thinking so much of you. “God bless you, “KATE FULLERTON.” I understood now why the strong will, and singular Insight of this worn-, an had so often exercised themselves in my behalf. I could not remember the far day and the happy circum­ stance of which she spoke, but I wrote her a letter which must have warmed her heart I am sure. Silas W right arrived in Canton and drove up to our home. He reached our door at eight In the morning with bis hound and rifle. He had aged rap­ idly since I had seen him last. His hair was almost white. There were many new lines in his face; He seemed more grnve and dignified. He did not lapse into the dialect of his fathers when he spoke of the ancient pastimes of huntlDg and fishing as he had been wont to do. “Bart,” he said when the greetings were over, “let’s you" and me go and spend a day in the woods. I'll leave my man here to help your uncle while you’re gone.” We went by driving south a few miles and tramping in to the foot of the Stillwater on our river^n trail long familiar to me. The dog left us soon after we took it and began to range over thick wooded hills. W e sat down among small, spirelike spruces at the river’s edge with a long stretch of water in sight while the music of the hound’s voice came faintly to our ears from the distant forest. “Oh, I’ve been dreaming of this for a long time,” said the senator as he leaned back against a tree and filled his lungs and looked out upon the wa­ ter, green with illy pads along the edge and flecked with the last of the white blossoms. “I believe you want to leave this lovely country.” “I am waiting for tile call to go,” ttWell, I’m inclined to think you are the kind of man who ought to go,” he answered almost sadly. “You are needed. I have been waiting until we should meet to congratulate you on your behavior a t Cobleskill, I think you have the right , spirit—-that is the all-important matter. You wilt en­ counter strange company in the game of politics. Let me teli you a story.” He told roe many stories of his life in Washington, interrupted by a spnnd like thnt of approaching footsteps., We ceased. talking and presently a . flock of partridges came nenr us^ paclng along over the.m at of. Ieavesfn a lei­ surely fashion.; !We Snttpei^e'eUk still. A 'young cock/bird' w ith. bis ,beauttfttl ruff Stabding out," llk ejh e 'hair. op the back’ of a frightened dog, strodfe toward us with a comic threat in his manner. It seemed as if he were of half a mind to knock us into the river. But we sat as still' as .stumps and he spared us and went o'n with the others. The baying of the hound Was nearer now. Suddenly we saw a big buck come down to the shore of the cove near us and on our side of the stream. He looked to right and left. Then he made a long leap into the Watef and waded slowly untll'it. covered him. He raised his nose and laid bis antlers back over h is' shoulders and swam quietly dow nstream ,. his nose Just showing above the water. His antlers iyere like a bit of driftwood.' TE we had not seen him take the w ater his antlers might easily have passed for a bunch of dead sticks.. Soon the buck slowly lifted his head and turned his neck and looked a t both.shores. Then very deliberately he resumed his place under water and went on. We watched him as he took the farther shore be­ low us and made off ,in the woods again. “I couldn’t shoot a t him, it was such a beautiful bit of politics,” snid the senator. - Soon the hound reached the cove’s edge and swam the river and ranged up and down the.bank for half an hour before he found the buck’s trail again, “I’ve seen many a rascal, driven to w ater by tlie hounds, go swimming away as slyly as that buck, with their horns in the air, looking as innocent as a bit of driftwood. They come in from both shores—the Whig and the Democratic—and they are always shot at from one bank or the other.” I remember it surprised me a little to hear him say that they came in from both shores. “Just what do you w ant to do?” he asked presently. “I should like to go down to W ash­ ington with you and help you in any way that I can.” “All right, partner—we’ll try it," .he answered gravely. “I hope that I don’t forget and work you as hard as I work myself. It wouldn’t be decent I have a great many letters to write. I’ll try thinking out loud while you take them down in sound-hand. Then you can draft them neatly and I’ll sign, them. You have tact and good manners and can do many of my errands for me and save me from those who have no good reason for taking up my time.” “You will meet the best people and the worst. There’s just a chance that It may come to something worth while —who knows? You nre young yet. It will be good training and you will wit­ ness the making of some history now and then.” . Wliat elation I fe lt! Again the voice of the hound, which had been ringing in the distant hills, was coming nearer. “We m ust keep watch—another deer is coming,” said the senator. We had only a moment’s watch be­ fore a fine yearling buck came down to the opposite shore and stood look­ ing across the river. The senator raised his rifle and fired. The buck fell in the edge of the water. “How shall we get him?" my friend asked. “It will not be difficult,” I answered as I began to undress. Nothing was difficult those days. I swain the river and towed the buck across with a beech withe In his gambrel joints. The hound joined me before I was half across with my bur­ den and nosed the carcass and swam on ahead yelping with delight. We dressed the deer and then I had. the great joy of cnrrrying him on my back two miles across the coun­ try to the wagon. The senator wished to send a guide for the deer, but I in­ sisted that the carrying was my privi­ lege. “Well, I guess your big thighs , and broad shoulders can stand it,” said he. “My uncle has always said that'no man could be called a hunter until he can go into the woods without a guide and kill a dder an d " bring it out on his back. I want to be able to testify that I am nt least partly qualified.” ttYonr uncle didn’t say anything about fetching the deer across a deep river without a boat, did he?” Mr. W right asked me with a smile. Leaves of the beeches, maples and basswoods—yellowed by frost—hung like tiny lanterns, glowing with noon­ day light, above the dim forest aisle which we traveled. The sun was down when we got to the clearing. ttW hat a day It has been!” said Mr. Wright when we were seated In the wagon. ttOne of the best in my life,” I an­ swered with a joy in my heart the like of which I have rarely known In these many years that have come to me. We rode on in silence with the calls of the swamp robin and. the hermit thrush ringing in our ears as the night fell. “It’s a good time to think, and there we take different roads,” said my friend. “You will turn- into the future and I into the past.” , • “I’ve been thinking about your uncle,” he said by and by; “He is one of the greatest men I have ever known. You knew of that foolish gossip about him—didn’t you?” “Yes.” I answered. “Weil, now| he’s'gone about his busi­ ness the same as ever, and showed by his life that it couldn’t be true. Not a word out of him! B ufD ave Ramsey fell sick—down on the flat last'Winter. By and by his children were crying for bread find the pobrihaster was going to take charge of theih. Well, who should turn up, there, just in the hick of time, but Delia and Peabody Baynes. '"They fed thbse children all winter;’ and kept lfhem in -clothes so thfit- they7 cOuld^go to "‘school: The 'strange thlbg about ifls this': T t was Dave Ramsey who really'started Mffiht story.

He said that he had hot seen Peabody Baynes on that road the day the money was lost' but had only heard that he was there, H e knew now that he couldn’t have been there. Gosh t’almighty! as your uncle used to say when there was nothing else to be said.” It . touched me t«Pthe soul—this long- delayed vindication of my beloved Uncle Peabody. The senator ate supper with us and sent his hired man out for his ,horse and buggy. When he had put on his overcoat and was about to go he turned to my uncle and said: “Peabody BaynesV if I baye had any success In the World ft is because I- have had the exalted honor" and con­ sciousness that I represented men like you.” He left us and we. sat down by the glowing candles. Soon I told them what Ramsey, had done. There was a mo­ ment of silence. Uncle Peabody rose and went to the water pail for a drink. “Bart, I believe- I'll plant corn- on that ten-arce lot next spring—darned if I don’t,” he said -as he returned, to his chair. None of us ever spoke of the m atter again, to my knowledge. CHAPTER XVIII. On the Summit. My mental assets would give me a poor rating, I presume, in the com­ merce of modern scholarship when I went to W ashington that autum n with Senator and Mrs. W right. Still ft’was no smattering that I had, but rather a few broad areas of knowledge which were firmly in my possession. My best asset was not m ental but spiritual, if I may be allowed to say it, in all mod­ esty, for. therein I claim no special "ad­ vantage, saving, possibly, an unusual strength of character in my aunt and uncle. Those days the candles were lighting the best trails of knowledge all over the land. Never has the gen­ eral spirit of this republic been so liigh and admirable as then and a little Inter. It was to speak, presently, in the immortal voices of W hittier, Emer­ son, Whitman, Greeley and Lincoln. The dim glow of the candles had en­ tered their souls and out of them came a light that filled the land and was seen of all men. The railroads on which we traveled from Utica, the great cities through which we passed, were a wonder and an inspiration to me. I was awed by the grandeur of W ashington itself.# I took lodgings with the senator and his wife. “Now, Bart,” said he, when we had arrived," “I’m. going to turn you loose here for a little \\ hile before I put har; ness on you. Go about for a week or so and get the la; <■ of the land nnd the feel of it. Mrs. W right will be your guide until the ceneral situation has worked its way into your conscious­ ness.” It seemed to roe that there was not room enough In sny consciousness for the great public buildings and the pic­ tures and the statues and the vast ma­ chinery of the government. Beauty arid magnitude have a wonderful ef­ fect w hen'they spring fresh upon the vision of a youth out of the back coun­ try. I sang of the look of theni In my letters and soon I began to think" about them and. imperfectly to understand them. They had their epic, lyric and dramatic stages in my consciousness. One afternoon we went to hear Sen­ ator Wrigfit speak. He was to an­ swer Calhoun on a detail of the bank­ ing laws. T hefloorandgallerIesw ere filled. W ith what emotion I sdw him rise and begin his argument as all ears bent to hear, him ! He aimed not at popular sentim ents in highly finished rhetoric, as did W ebster, to be quoted in the school books and repeated on every platform. But no words of mine —and I have used many in the effort —are able to convey a notion of the masterful ease and charm of his man­ ner on .the flopr of the senate or of the singular modesty, courtesy, aptness and simplicity o: his words as they fell from his Iii s. There were the thunderous Webs :er, the grandeur oi v.hose sentences ho American has equaled; the agile-minded Clay, whose voice was like a s.lver clarion; the far- seeing, fiery Cal joun, of “the swift sword”—most foi pidable in debate— but I was soon 10 learn that neither nor all of these non—gifted of heaven so highly—could ;ppe With- the-suave, incisive, conversational sentences ol W right, going straight to the heart ot the subject and ";,ying it bare to his hearers.

RosMtdi Good Reason Why Eggs Hold Place InEasterFeasts F ROM earliest times the egg has been the most significant fea­ ture of the E aster feasting. There were roasted eggs on the paschal table. “Paseh” eggs were sent to church to be blessed before being eaten a t Easter. ■ The early Christian church forbade the eatiiig of eggs during Lent, a cus­ tom which still obrains in Russia, where not only meat but all the prod­ ucts of the animal kingdom, such as eggs, milk, and cheese, are forbidden during the Lenten abstinence. • Only ad d rye bread arid sour “Kvass” ate partaken of by rich and poor alike— the czar and his family took the lead In the long fast. B ut after the fast comes the feast, and such feastiDg! Russian Easter dinner parties excel in luxury any elsewhere. • - In the old days, w hen-the Easter feast was young, there was- not so much knowledge of chem istry and physiology as now. Yet it . was - in­ stinctively understood that a long fast m ust not be suddenly broken. In fasting, /the body emaciates, and most of the secretions are greatly dimin­ ished; and following a fast the most nourishing nrtd digestible foods are re­ quired. Instinct taught the ancients to turn at - this time of feasting to eggs as "a strong aid in replacing the waste of the human body: And it is a very interesting fact that eggs were regarded by the early Church as a blessed food after a fa st: ttThese blessed eggs have the virtue of sanctifying the entrails of the body, and are to be the first fat or fleshy nourishment they takei after the absti­ nence of Lent.” This ancient ecclesiastical enjoinder apropos o t the Easter feast is sig­ nificant when compared with the mod­ ern physiological view of the food value of eggs. GREATEST OF ALL FACTS Proof of Escape From the Bondage of the Tomb Brings Joy to the Christian. r Those who remember their Bible will easily turn to any of the Gospels, Luke for Instance, and find In Chap. 24 that upon the first day of the week (Sunday) the friends came to the sepulcher and found the stone which had been in front of the opening roll­ ed away, and no body In the tomb, and that two angels standing there asked.: “Why seek ye the living among the dead? He Is not here, but Is rlsen.” This is the outstanding fact to all believing Christians, and never has it come home to them with such moving significance as flow, when a short time ago all the worid seemed td stand face to face with death and- its eternal problem of Life Everlasting.

A morbid exaggeration and perver­ sion of the natural desire which all oliildren feel for notice by their eld­ ers, is held by Thomson to be the cause of abnormal naughtiness in children. These cases are of essen­ tially the same nature as those of "moral imbecility” in children who are in some degree mentally defective. The proper lines of treatm ent are clear enough, and when carried out consistently and thoroughly are rap­ idly and completely successful. They may be summarized as follows: (I) AU severe corporal punishment must he stopped—It never does any good. (2) Nobody must ever appear shocked, amused or even surprised at anything a child does. (3) His misdeeds are never to be alluded to. much less de­ scribed, in his presence; and. lastly, lie should be noilced and encouraged in every way when he is'good and al­ together ignored when he is naughty. —British Journal of Children’s Dis­ eases.

TRIBUTE TO YANKEE FIGHTER Magazine W riter Describes the "Doughboy” as AU the World Has Come to Know Him, George Pattulli. a magazine writer who has b’een with General Pershing’s army in France, has paid a tribute to the American fighting men that is wor­ thy of reproduction 'n every county In the United States. Says Mr. Pattulli: “The American soldier is about the finest human specimen on top of the earth—rough and ready, grumbling, never giving up; always able to laugh, even at his own plight; a holy terror In a fight; ruthless to an enemy capa­ ble of resistance; generous to a fault to a beaten foe; hating nobody, fearing none; with backbone enough to storm hell,- and the gentleness to win a child.” France knows this, England knows it, even Germany has a hazy idea that a Yankee doughboy is a combination of an angel from heaven and a devil from hell.

AnQRNEYS Action I* Taken to Force State Ware­ house Commission to Provide Ma­ chinery Called for in the Act. Mandamus pioceedings wili be in­ stituted at the present term of Wake Superior Court to compel the State Tax Commission to provide machin­ ery for collecting the 25-cent per bale tax on cotton, imposed by the Price W arehouse act, for the support of a State system of cotton warehouses. The corporation commission, acting upon the opinion of the attorney gen­ eral, declared the taxing clause of the law unconstitutional, and declined a formal, request to furnish the ma­ chinery and the case goes to the courts. James H. Pou and Judge J. Crawford. Biggs, of Raleigh, will ap­ pear for the department and the suit will be defended in the lower court by Attorney General Manning and As­ sistant Attorney General Sykes. . Following the opinion of Attorney General Manning that the taxation feature of the warehouse act was un­ constitutional, the Board of Agricul­ ture conferred with -Mr. Pou and reached the decision to get the case before the Supreme Court as early as possible. Because the tax is not op­ erative until after July I, it looked for awhile that the case would have to wait until pnidsummer. Mr. Pou and Judge Biggs, both of whom had been retained, decided that action could be brought against the tax com­ mission to force them to provide ma­ chinery, called for in the law, right away. The agricultural department anticipated that the tax commission would decline to provide such ma­ chinery in the face of the opinion of Attorney General Manning. Training Health Officers. The University of North Carolina will very likely enlarge the scope of its extension service to include a course for the training of county health officers. The plan was given tentative consideration in a confer­ ence between Drs. Chase and MacNi- der, of the faculty of the University, and Dr. W. S. Rankin and Dr. B. E. W ashburn, of the . State board of health. The University recently added an expert in sanitation to its faculty and the institution would be well equipped to provide .the course .for the, health officers of North Carolina. The prop­ osition, is regarded among, health ex­ perts as a move that would be most productive of efficiency in the further­ ance' of the health campaign in the State. The conference, however^ was pure­ ly of a tentative nature but is prob­ ably the forerunner of further confer­ ences between the faculty of the Uni­ versity and the officials'of the State board of health. North Carolina is welt up In the list of States, with legis­ lation for the protection of the health of its citizenship but its force is min­ imized unless the health officers in every city and county are thorough!:' alive to their job. Projects for Improvqo Hoads. After' an initial three days’ dost study of the North Carolina highway situation, in conference'here, the new State Highway Commission gave an interview as to the-situation as they find, it and' the general policy' of the commission. . • \ ’ The situation In . a nutshell being that there are in the State 49 projects of. road Jmproyement taken oyey from the retiring commission in which the Federal aid itfyolved.is about/$720,000, while the total Federal aid that will he available to July, 1920, is $3,600,000, with a probahie million dollars avail­ able on the part of Jhe State from the automobile tax. Then as to policy, the. commission has provided a system of maintenance .that, is-definite as to counties generally with a 50-60 basis and . divided the State into four dis­ tricts, one commissioner to visit every county just as soon as possible and make return visits as often as neces­ sary for the closest posible co-opera­ tion; hard-surface roads to have just what consideration that the commis­ sion deems possible with due regard for the entire State system of roads. . Commissioner. Page, speaking for the commission, said the commission found 23 projects of road construction under way in which the government aid amounts to $291,000, 18 projects in which surveys have ,been made and bejng considered by the government, in which Federal aid would amount to $223,000; eight projects, , the allot­ ments have not been made but in which the Federal aid would be about $166,000. and one amendment agree­ ment involving $40,000. Tools for Education. The state department of education believes that those educational insti­ tutions in the State that desire to pro­ cure machine tool eouipment for vo­ cational .training work will be afford­ ed that opportunity with very reason­ able cost soor. through the pending Caldwell bill in Congress, which is to have final consideration just as soon as Congress reassembles. The bill proposes that the government’s sur­ plus machine tool sets be loaned to such institutions throughout the coun­ try, but the war department will op­ pose this and recomtnend that the sets be sold outright to the institu­ tions at some very low figure.

The State board of health is arrang­ ing to form Adenoid clubs in the coun­ ties of the State as rapidly as possible to'the end that competent specialists may be assigned to remove diseased tonsils and adenoids where needful. This will be accomplished . through special rates for the operation made possible by gathering numbers of chil­ dren together at a central point for a given date so that all the operations can be performed with one visitation. It is estimated th jt there are 40,000 children in the SUte who need this operation and less than 25 per cent are able to pay the fees for single op­ erations. Some New Oharters.

(Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment' of Agriculture.) It Is not good poultry management to allow the mother hen to range un­ restricted with her chicks, With sucb freedom the Iten frequently takes her brood through wet grass, and as a re­ sult some are chilled and die, especial­ ly the weaker ones, which a.-e Hkely to be left behind. The loss of young chicks which follows such a practice Is large nnd mainly preventable. Fur­ thermore. the food which a broojl al- Hen Confin.ed in Small Yard. lowed to range with the hen obtains goes very largely to keep the heat of the body and the chicks do not make as good growth -a s they otherwise WOUldrr Chick losses .of this nature can be largely prevented by shutting the hen In a coop. Any style of coop which Is dry, ventilated, and can be closed at night to protect .the brood against cats, rats and other animals, and which while confining the hen, will allow the chicks to pass in and out freely after they are a few days old, will be satis­ factory. The lien should be confined until the chicks are weaned, though it small yard may be attached to the coop. If desired, 'to allow the hen to exercise. The fence can 'b e raised from the ground far enough to allow the chicks to go In and out, but not high enough for the hen to escape. By using a coop the chicks can find shel­ ter and warmth under the hen at any time, and the weaklings after a few days may develop into strong, healthy chicks. Where chicks are raised with hens, they are likely to become infested with lice. If the lice get very numerous, they greatly retard the chicks’ growth and may even'cause their death. The hen should be powdered thoroughly with some good Insect powder before she is put in the coop with the chicks and at intervals of several 'days or a week thereafter. Tlie baby chicks should be exatpined for lice, particu­ larly on the head, under the sWings and about the vent. If any are found, a little grease, such as lard, should be rubbed oh those places. '-' Apply'grease moderately, as too much will Injure the chicks. The chicks should be ex­ amined frequently and the treatment repeated if lice are found on them. Hens will lay in an inclosed nest rather than in an open nest. • * * Feed the growing pullets well and keep them coming.

One often hears the expression, “My child caugbt a severe cold which develop ed into diptheria,'' when the truth was that the cold had simply left the little one particularly susceptible to "The wan­ dering diptheria germ.

When Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is given it quickly cures the cold and lessens the danger of diptheria or any other germ disease being contracted. Raleigh, N.

Boyd in opening federal court in Charlotte paid his r !Bpecfcs to '1Colonel Billy” Hohen zollern. Ihe Turk and' bolshevism. He expressed regret that “Colonel Billy” had not been captured aud brought to America us an adjunct to Singling’s circus; that the Turk had not been completely expelled from Europe, and'that the 'Stai s aud Stripes had not eventually been planted over Berlin. Judge Boyd made a wondrous summary of the mighty forces that are at work in - the world today, constructive and destructive. He declared that the world’s crisis is not yet over, and that it behooves true Americans everywhere to be watchmen on the towers ot liberty looking out for. the first outcrop ping ot danger. As to bolshevism be warned his audience that this evil is trying to gain foothold in America. “It is here,” said he, •‘because of the great pre-war in­ flux of foreign immigration. But I believe that there is enough -real American blood left .in the country to save it from this evil. Especial Iy in this section is this danger at a minimum because we are nearly all descendants of the men of co­ lonial days, of thie pure Englislt stockf This has been a Providence favored land.

The loss ot §500 or $600 worth of fine Tadkiu Valley sheep last Sunday brings dose home to the people of Caldwell county the vital need of enforcing^he new dog law. After years of attempted legislation on the dog our law makers recent­ ly enacted a law which was intend­ ed to encourage and protect the sheep industry in North Carolina, and now it is up to the people to see that it is enforced; owners who value their dogs should keep them under control; owners of worthless dogs, in the interest of their neigh­ bors and for the good of the com munity, should dispose of them. Failure to observe the law will mean that a most important and profitable industry will be lost to Calclwell county.

The State entomologist of Geor­ gia who has conducted an investi­ gation of the orchards of that State, gives the verdict that “the entire peach crop bas been killed- by the recent cold.” However, this is not even slightly depres­ sing, neither does it mean that the fruit in South Carolina or North Carolina or. anywhere el 6e has Been killed. The peach crop of Geor­ gia is annually killed at least six times a spring, although in the later summer, peaches pass thru Charlotte by the train load from Georgia.

Indications are that the Bepnb lican party when it comes into aa tual power with the convening of the extra session of Con ress ,Ihis summer will giv'e concrete evidence that it is the real friend of woman’s suffrage’ by promptly passing tlie Susan Antbony federal auiendmei.t granting the ballot to the women of the nation. Speakiog at a din­ ner Saturday night of the New York city woman’s suffrage party SenatorWilliamM Calder of the Empire state pledged the “support of the Bepnblican party” to the constitutional amendment wh>ci) wonld grant nation-wide suffrage to women. Senator Calder de clared, according to an associated press dispatch, that an' extra ses slon ot Congress would surely be called by June or July and cheer ed his hearers by predicting “that the measure would become a ISw within 30 days after its introduct­ ion.” . The Democratic party bas at­ tempted to pose as the friend of equal suffrage hut its acts have be lied its words. During the years that the Democratic party has been in power the constitutional amendment granting eqnal suffrage to women has been almost contin uonsly before the Congress. Pre- as leader of bis of the bill but his party has repeat- edly turned a deaf nar to his plead, ings and now the Democratic party is out of power. It has had its day and failed to take advantage of its opportunity. And the Dem­ ocrats alone must bear the respon­ sibility. Ior the repeated defeat of the suffrage amendment. It w>is the leaders, such aB Senator Sim inons and Senator Overman, who heeded not the appeal of the Presi dent, bat who cast their votes time after time against the amend ment. So far 'as the Democratic party is concerned they killed its chance ever to lay claim " to being the friend of woman’s suffrage. Tne Bepubiicans will not be slow to take advantage of their oppor tunity to curry favor with the wo­ men of the nation when the extra session is called. Senator Calder 'may be a little too hopeful in pre­ dicting that within 30 dayB alter Congiess meets the Anthony amendment bill or one similar will be passed, but it is certain that the Republicans, seeing the hand­ writing on the wall, and that a feminine hand, will ^gefc all the honor or politics out of the situ ation possible and as quickly as they can,' formally pass the bill submitting the constitutional a- mendment. Then they will be in position to go before the country next year with the record of hav­ ing gran ed to the women the right of suffrage and it is not hard to see what effect this is likely to have in certaindose States where for years the “cause” has been a burn­ ing Issue. ~ The Democrats had the oppor­ tunity of making that party Bolid with the women of the country and threw it away. The Bepublicans .have grabbed it and if they should fail to take advantage of the poli tical situation thus created there it will be a miracle, and such a shock to old time politicians that they will not soon get over.—Greens­ boro News. _ ' Are You Happy?

This is the conclusion of an ob servant citizen, familiar with the territory under consideration. The Landmark has frequently called attention to the fact that tha bus iness of making and selling liquor, despite all regulations,'is growing, the.extension of the industry being due to tbetlemand and the high prices and the lack of sufficient concerted effort, backed by deter, mined public opinion, to' extermi­ nate the growing menace to law and order.—Statesville Landmark. she Gathering Eggs Enroute.

S. s.w NOT AS WELL AS HE HOPED. Now what do you think of this, Mr. Burleson? Rep. James B. As- well. Democrat of Louisiana, the man who initiated the legislation that placed the wires and cables un dergovornment control, says he is sorry and that he will apologize to the Housefor his part in the. affair. Ic seems that when Mr. Aswell was working enthusiastically for the paf- sage of this legislation and holding conferences upon the subject, that it was understood that the rates would be reduced, some orie-third and some one-half, But now he’ is ^'disappointed and discouraged to note the increase of 20 per cent or­ dered on telegranh rates.” He fur­ ther states that he is “not yet ready to admit that any such increase is justifiable or necessary.” While the author of the resolution which formed tne basis of the existing law states that he'owes- an apology to the people and to Congress for his resolution, if it means increase in rates, Al Burleson glories in his lit­ tle autocratic kingdom and swerves not in his course of doing things as fie pleases, apparently whether they are right or wrong. From the great cry which has gone up every time he has announced a new policy (?) or issued an order he must be wrong most of the time. Certainly the new Congress will consider it one of the most important pieces of work on the calendar to unravel the im­ possible tangle into which the wires and cables have been brought under the direction' of Mr. Burleson. Nothing less than the railroad prob­ lem is more important. , “W. 8. S.” IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS. Collector Watts desires that all persons, firms and corporations who sell preparations of any kind con taining a narcotic drug in a quantity exempted from payment of tax be notified that they must register and pay a special tax of $1 per year or fraction thereof. The principal narcotic drugs sold untaxed are: Paregoric. Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, and quite a number of others, containing ;a very small.percentage of narcotics. Probably most merchants, especially conntry merchants, sell some of these preparations. They should immediately write the Collector for a form upon, which to register, which form should be executed in accordance with the directions there­ on, and returned t'o the Collector, together with $li at the very earliest possible date. This tax does, not apply to drug­ gists and others who are already re gistered under this law, and who pay. a special tax at a higher rate. “W. S. S.” V , Letter FromFrance.

Despite the Easter’ calm, • which brought vast crowd3 to the churches and boulevards, the council of four continued Its sessions at the “white house;" The Italian premier, Vitorio Orlando- and - the Italian foreign min­ ister Baron Sonnino, were both pres­ ent, and made it known that the open­ ing of the Italian parliament has necessitated their leaving Paris with definite knowledge of what is going to be done. Baron Sonnino continued to occupy the extreme position,' insisting upon the integral fulfillment of the secret treaty of London, giving to Italy the entire Dalmation coast and islands, and also claiming the city of Fiume without internationaliation or diviszon with the Jugo-Slavs. Premier Orlando was rather more conciliating, though a telegram which he had received from the heads of the Italian army declared .that the entire: army was behind him in upholding Italy’s aspirations. President Wilson’s position was said to be equally determined against any recognition of the secret treaty of London. Reports of a compromise on the basis of the Italians getting the Ital­ ian quarters Of Fiume and the Jugo-. Slavs getting their districts 'were iiot confirmed, as it was said that this was the plan put forward to the Italians but not accepted. But early reports indicated that the sesson might be prolonged through the day in an ef­ fort to reach a middle ground. AEMRICAN DELEGATION DOES NOT FAVOR ALLIANCE IDEA The talk of the formation of an alliance to protect France from fur- brought forth the statem ent; from a( high source in the American peace* delegation that the United.States will enter into no alliance Which would be inconsistent with the spirit of the league of nations. President Wilson conferred with Premier Clemenceau, but the nature of their talk 'was not disclosed. Chaotic conditons still prevail at Munich, where the government troops are declared to have been augmented and a battle for supremacy to be in immediate prospect. Sporadic fighting is reported to be in progress in the Bavarian capital. RECOGNITION OF MOROCCAN TITLE IS AWARDED FRANCE Paris.—A subject which-has been of great interest-to the French is the fate of Morocco.. In.spite of all the clogging conditions of international control forced upon France as a re­ sult of the German blackmail methods iwhich led to the Algeciras conven­ tion. France, mainly through the mag­ nificent administrative ability of Gen­ eral Lyautey, has' more than made good her title, and of having ,her spe cial position in Morocco recognized in every-way by. the' peace treaty. The French government.proposed at the meetng of the supreme council of the allies that all servitudes of inter­ national character,' to ,which Morocco was subjeoted as the results of Ger­ man action; be-abolished and under­ took to maintain full economic, indus­ trial and commercial, equality of all the allied nations in Morocco. This proposal was agreed to by the supreme councl. and the matter was referred to -a special committee.

As it is evident that the question of the possession of Flume and the Dal­ matian coast has not yet been defi­ nitely settled, the Italian delegates are 'working earnestly to secure a deci- ion before the Italian chamber of deputies meets on April 24. Labor troubles are brewing in the department of the Seine, France, of which Paris is the capital. A one-day strike has been called for May I, by the general federa ion of labor, to put forward (he federation’s program, which calls for an eight-hour day, po­ litical amnesty, non-intervention in Russia, lifting of the state of seige and the censorship and the return of con­ stitutional guarantees. Disorders of such magnitude are re­ reported from both European and Asia­ tic Turkey as to give rise to the fear that there will be great outbreaks at various points and new massacres of Armenians. Germany will be forced either to accept or reject the allied peace terms •by May 15, according to reports print­ ed in Paris. It is indicated that no reply is expected before May 6, the peace conference being disposed tc give the German government 'what it' considers ample time In which to di­ gest the terms and frame its reply. •What action would’ follow rejection of the terms by the Germans has not been forecast in reports from the French capital. JAPANESE SEARCH HOUSES OF AMERICAN MISSIONARIES Seul.—The houses of the seven American missionaries at Pyeng-Yang In northern Korea, were searched by the Japanese at the time of the ar­ rest of Rev.

The official report says the Japan­ ese authorities obtained knowledge that Koreans engaged in editing and circulating news’ of the independence movement'were hiding in Mr. Mowry’s residence and were issuing newspa­ pers and circulars from the house. More than 40 policemen were Station­ ed around the house during the search to prevent the escape of the suspects. Eleven Koreans, including a girl, were arrested, it is said, and three copying presses and documents relating to the independence w er. seized.

The council met at the-“white house,” the residence In • Paris of President Wilson. The opinion prevails In Paris that with the Italian demands now the re­ maining' obstacle to a. full agreeemnt, the situation is such -that President Wilson will be able to sail homeward in mid-May with a signed copy of the peace treaty for submission to Con­ gress, which in some quarters in Paris it is believed will be called in extra session not later than June I. Little opposition to the peace terms Is expected, from the Germans, accord­ ing to the latest reports in circulation in Paris as they are declared to be anxious for a return to peace condi­ tions at the earliest moment possible It is asserted that there is to be no German text of the treaty—the docu­ ment to be issued only in the French and English languages. Although a general strike has been proclaimed in Bremen and the asser­ tion Jias been made that it has been impossible to unload foodstuffs, taken there on an'American steamship, a German wireless communication as­ serts that the unloading of the vessel Is assured. Employees of department, stores and specialty shops in Berlin have joined the bank employes’ strike. In Bavaria the situation still remains acute, but few details are available. In Vienna there also has been disturb ances. The bolsheviki attempted to storm the parliament building but were defeated.

' . Captain Charles J. Glidden. of the U. S. Air Service, Military Aeronau­ tics, .now stationed in the administra­ tive ..department of the. United States Flying School, Southerfieldr Georgia, says: ‘The . Pan-Ameripan Aeronautics Convention’and exhibition to be held at Atlantic City, during the month of May will bring to the attention of American people the wonderful prog­ ress of aviation. The work of air­ craft during the war establishes its practicability for . commercial uses and insures the creation in this coun­ try of a complete aerial service, con­ necting all cities and towns for the transportation of persons, mail and merchandise. “Before the close of 1920 I confi­ dently predict this service will be in full operation, with extensions to all countries on this hemisphere. In the United States trunk lines will be es­ tablished across the country ..which will place every city and town within six hours from some twenty-four dis­ tributing points. Once created and in operation our ex-tensive coast line could be put under-complete protec­ tion from any possible invasion. Thousands of college trained aviators In and out of the service are now waiting to join In the operation of an aerial service. - “The government calls for fifteen thousand men to enlist in air service for one or'three years’ time. This is bound to receive a quick response, as here is an opportunity for men to-be immediately assigned to duty in ' the service and of the number who enlist those who pass certain examinations will be given flying and balloon pilot­ ing instruction. This liberal offer is equivalent to a. one or three years' college course In aeronautics, and one may become expert in all branches of aviation, and if qualified a non-com­ missioned or even a commissioned of­ ficer. In addition to regular pay. -clothing, quarters and rations, extra pay begins with instructions to op­ erate the aircraft. As the number of men wanted is limited to fifteen thou­ sand for the entire country, quick ap­ plication to the nearest recruiting of­ ficer will be necessary before the priv­ ilege is withdrawn. “Everybody directly and indirectly interested in aviation should attend the Atlantic City convention and exhi­ bition in order to keep abreast with the times and become familiar' with the development of aircraft for de­ fense and commercial uses and wit­ ness the demonstrations of the world’s greatest airplane aviators, who will fly, and balloon pilots sail to the Atlantic air port from all over the country.” THE FARMERS OF AMERICA STANDING WITH THE SOUTH Denver.—Removal of government restriction on the . marketing of the cotton • crop and reduction in acreage planted to cotton were urged at the meeting of the Farmers’ Educational and Co-operative Union of America in convention here. iSpeakers pointed out that a more diversified farming •plan would aid in development of the South, which has been handicapped by confining farming operations to cotton. A report by the committee on cot­ ton and cotton products said: “There have been more severe re­ strictions on cotton ever since the beginning of the war than on any oth­ er farm product. Even today there are' restrictions on the trade. with our allies. ‘.‘With these' facts as a basis we feel justified in asking our govern­ ment to make every effort to have these restrictions removed at the earliest possible moment.” The report also advocated reduc­ tion in .the acreage of cotton, declar­ ing that the South had been brought to industrial slavery by dependence upon one crop.

The underlying se­ cret of his power was soon apparent' to me. He stood always for that great thing in America which, since then, AVhitman has colled “the divine aggre­ gate;” and ' seeing clearly how every measure would be likely to affect its welfare, he followed the compass. It had led him to a height of power above all others and was to lead him unto the loneliest summit of accom­ plishment in American history. Not much in. my term of service there is important to this little task ot mine. I did my work well, if I may believe the senator, and grew fifmiliar with the gentle and ungentle arts of the politician. One great fact grew in magnitude and sullen portent as the months, passed :’ Uie gigantic slave-holding'- in­ terests of the South viewed with grow­ ing alarm the spread of abolition sen­ timent. Subtly, quietly and naturally they were feeling for the means to de­ fend and increase their power. Straws were coming to the surface in .that session which betrayed this deep un­ dercurrent of purpose. We felt it and the senator was worried, I knew, but held bis peace. He knew how to keep his opinions until the hour had struck that summoned them to service. The senator never played with his lance. By and by Spencer openly sounded the note of conflict. The most welcome year of my life dawned on the first of January, 1844. I remember that I arose before day­ light that morning and dressed and went out on the street to welcome it. I had less than six months to wait for Hint day appointed by Sally. I had no doubt Uiat she would be true to me. I had had my days of fear and depres­ sion, but always my sublime faith in her came back in good time. Oh, yes, indeed, Washington was a fair of beauty and gallantry those days. I saw it all. I have spent many years in the capital, and I tell you the girls of that time had manners and knew how to wear their clothes, but again the magic of old memories kept my lady on her throne.. There was one of them—just one of thoSe others who, I sometimes thought, was almost -as graceful and charming and noble- hearted as Sally, and she liked me, I know, but the ideal of my youth glowed in the ligh't of the early morn­ ing, so to speak, and was brighter than all others. Above all, I had given my word to Sally, and—well, you know, the old-time Yankee of good stock was fairly t steadfast, whatever else may be said of him—often a little too steadfast, as were Ben GrimshaW and Squire Fullerton. The senator and I went calling that New Year’s day. We saw all the great people and some of them were more cheerful than they had a right to be. It Avas a weakness of the time. I shall not go into details for fear of wandering too far from my main roa<L Let me step aside a moment to say, however, that there were two clouds in the sky- of the AVashington society of those days. One was strong drink and the other was the crude, rough- coated, aggressive democrat, from the frontiers of the West. These latter were often seen in the holiday regalia of farm or village at fashionable func­ tions. Some of them changed slowly, and by and by reached the stage of Avhite linen and diamond breastpins and waistcoats of figured silk. It must be said, however,, that their mo­ tives were always above their taste. The' winter wore away slowly in hard work. Mr. Van Buren came down to see the senator one day from his country seat on the Hudson. The ex­ president had been solicited to accept the nomination again. I know that Senator AVright strongly favored the plan but feared that the South would defeat him in convention, it being well known that Van Bnren was opposed to the annexation of Texas. However, he advised his friend to make a fight for the nomination and this the latter resolved to do. Thenceforward until middle May I gave my time largely to the ‘inditing of letters for the; senator In Van Buren’s behalf. '. The time appointed for the conven­ tion in Baltimore drew near: One day the senator received an intimation that he would be put in nomination if Van Buren failed.- Immediately, fie wrote to Judge Fine" of Ogdensburg, chair­ man of the delegation from, the'north­ ern district of I New York, forbidding Such us'e: of his name ori the ground that his acquiescence would involve dis­ loyalty tO hisfriehd' the Cx-Presldentrr He gave me leave to go to the con­ vention on my way. home to-meet Sally. I had confided to Mrs. Wright the: de­ tails of my little love affair—I had to —and she had shown a fender, sympa­ thetic interest In the story. .-• The senator had said to me. one day, with a gentle smile: “ Bart, you have business in Canton, I believe, with which trifling matters like-the choice of a president and the Mexican question, cannot be permitted to interfere. You must take time to spend a day or two at the convention In Baltimore on your way. . . . . Re­ port'to our friend Fine, who will look after your comfort there. The experi­ ence ought to be useful to a young man who, I hope, will have work to db in future conventions.” ■. I took the.-stage to Baltimore next Aayi- the twenty-sixth .of. M ay .T h e convention thrilled me—the. flags, the great crowd, the bands, the songs, the speeches, the cheering—I see and "hear it all in my, talk. The uproar* lasted for twenty minutes, when Van Buren’s name, rvas put in nomination. Then the undercurrent! The South was against him as Wright had fore­ seen. The. deep current of Its power had undermined.certain of the north­ ern and western delegations. Osten­ sibly for Van Buren and stubbornly casting their ballots for him, they had voted for- the two-thirds rule, which had accomplished his defeat before the balloting began. It continued for two days without a choice; The enemy stood firm. After adjournment that evening many of the Van. Bureri- dele­ gates were summoned to a conference. I attended it with Judge Fine. The ex-president had withdrawn and requested his friends In the conven­ tion to vote for Silas Wright. My emo­ tions can be- more readily imagined than described when I heard the shouts of-enthusiasm-which greeted my friend’s name. Tears began to roll down my cheeks. Judge Fine lifted his hand. AVhen order was at last re­ stored he began: “Gentlemen, as a friend of the- learned senator and as a resident of the. county which is the proud. pos­ sessor of his home, your enthusiasm has a welcome sound to m e; but I hap­ pen to know that Senator AVright will not allow his name to go before the convention.” He read the letter of which I knew. Mr. Benjamin F. Butlen then said: “When that letter was written Sena­ tor AVright was not aware that Mr. Van Buren’s nomination could not be accomplished, nor was he aware that his own nomination would be the al­ most unanimous wish of this conven­ tion. I have talked with the leading delegates from Missouri and A’irginia today. Tliey say that he can be nomi­ nated by acclamation. Is it possible that he—a strong party man—can re­ sist this unanimous call of the party with whose help he has won imriiortal fume? No, it is not so. It cannot be so. We must dispatch a messenger Jfco him by horse at once who shall take- to him from his friend Judge Fine a frank statement of the imperious de­ mand of this convention and a request that he telegraph a withdrawal of his letter in the morning.” The suggestion was unanimously ap­ proved arid within an hour, mounted or. one of the best horses in Maryland —so his groom informed me—I was on my way to AVashington with the mes­ sage of Judge Fine In my pocket. Yes, I had two days to spare on my sched­ ule of travel and reckoned that, by re­ turning to Baltimore, next day I should reach Canton in good time. It was the kind of thing that only a lithe,- supple, strong-hearted lad such as I was in the days of my youth, could relish—speeding over a dark road by the light of the stars and a helf-moon, with a horse that loved- to kick up a wind. My brain' was in a fever, for the notion had come to me that I was making history. The lure of fame and high place hur­ ried me ori. AVith the senator in the presidential chair I should be well started in the highway of great suc­ cess. Then Mr. H. Dunkelbeig might think me better • than the legacy of Benjaiain Grimshaw. A relay awaited me twenty-three miles down the.road,. Well, I reached AVashineton very sore, but otherwise in good form, soon after daybreak. I was trembling with excitement when I put my horse In the stable and rang the bell at our door. It- seemed to me that I was crossing the divide between big and little things. A few steps more and I should be look­ ing down into the great valley of the future. Yet, now that I was there, I began to lose confidence. . The butler opened the door. Yes, the senator was up and had just returned from a walk and was in his study. I found him there. “AA'wll, .Bart: how, does this happen?” he asked. “It’s important business,” I said, as I presented the letter.. Something in his look and manner as he calmly adjusted his glasses and read the letter of Judge Fine brought the blood to my face. It seemed to puncture my bailoon, so to speak, and I was falling toward the earth and so swiftly my head swam. He laid the letter on his desk and, Avithout looking up and as coolly as if he were asklng- for the change of a dollar, queried: “Well, Bart, what do you think we had. better do about it?” ‘1—I was: .hoping—y.ou—you would take it,” I stammered. “That’s because the excitement of the convention is on yon,” he an­ swered. . “Let us look at the compass. They have refused to nominate Mr! Van Burep Jiecause he is opposed to' the anriexation of Texas. Op that sub­ ject the will Of the convention is now cleag. It is possible that they would nominate. me. AVe: don’t know about that, we never shall know. If they did, and I accepted, what would be ex­ pected of me is also clear. They would-expect me to abandon my prln- elples-and that course of conduct which I -conceive to be' best for the country! Therefore I should have;to accept it under false pretenses and take their yoke upon me. Would you think the needle pointed ti>at way? “No,” I answered. ■. - ■ Immediately he turned to bis desk and wrote the telegram which fixed his place ip history. It said no. Into the lives of few men has such a moment fallen. I looked at him with a feeling of awe. AVhat sublime calm-, ness and serenity was to his face ! As if it were a mere detail'Iri the work of the day, and. without a moment’s fal­ tering, he had declined a crown, for be would surely have been nominated add elected. He rose a n d stood looking out of .the open wlndow.v Always I think of him standing there with the morning sunlight falling upon his face arid shoulders. He had observed my emotiori and I think it hud touched him a. little; There was a moment of silence. A curious illusion came to me then, for it seemed as if I heard, the sound of distant music. Looking thoughtfully out of the windrixv be asked: • ' ' - ' .“Bart, do you know when .our. first fathers turned out of the. trail of the beast and found the long road of hu­ manity? I think it was when they dis­ covered the couipass in their hearts.” So now at last we have come to that high and lonely place, where we may look back upon the toilsome, adven­ turous way we have, traveled with .the. ,aid of the candle and the compass. Now let us strip a moment to rest arid to think. How sweet the air is here! The night is falling. I see the stars in the sky. Jnst below me is the valley of Eter­ nal silence. You will understand iriy baste now. I have sought only to -do justice to my friend and to give my country a name, long neglected, but equal In glory to those of AVashington and Lincolm ’ Come, let us take one last look to­ gether down the road we have trav- 'WAt'; HOTEt W I Took the Stage to Baltimore Next Day. eled, now dim in the evening, shad­ ows. ; Scattered, along. Ita re the little bouses of the poor of which I have written. See the lights in the win­ dows—the Ughts that are shining into the souls' of the young—the eager; open, expectant, welcoming souls of the young—and the light carries many things, but best of all a respect for the old, unchanging way of the compass. After all that is the end and aim of the whole matter—believe me. My life has lengthened into these days when most of our tasks are ac­ complished by machinery. We try to make men by the thousand, in vast educational machines, and no longer by the one as of old. It was the lov­ ing, forgiving, forbearing, patient, ceaseless toil of mother and father on the' tender soul - of- childhood which quickened that inextinguishable sense of responsibility to God and man in these people whom I now leave to the judgment of my countrymen. I have lived to. see the ancient plan of kingcraft, for self-protection, com­ ing back into the world. It demands the will and conscience of every individual shall be regulated and con­ trolled by some conceited - prince, backed by an army. It cannot fail, I foresee, to accomplish such devasta­ tion in the human spirit as shall im­ peril the dearest possession of man." If one Is -to follow the compass he can have but one king—his God. * * * * * * * I am near the end. I rode back to Baltimore that forenoon. They had nominated Mr. Polk of Teanesse for president and ,Silas Wright for vice president, the latter by acclamation. I knew that Wright would decline the honor, as he did. I hurried northward to keep my ap­ pointment with Sally. The boats were slowed by fog. At Albany I was a day behind my schedule. I should have only an hour’s leeway if the boats-on the upper lakes and the stage from Plattshurg were, on time. I feared to trust them. So I caught thew est­ bound train and reached Utica three hours late. There I bought a good* horse and his saddle and bridle'and hurried up the north road. AVhen he was near speht I traded him for a well- lcnit Morgan mare up in the little vil­ lage of Sandy-Creefc iOh, I knew a good horse as W ell as the next mJin and a better 'one ’ than, she I never owned—never. I wasbriek in my sad­ dle at six In the afternoon arid Stoppwf for feed and an hour’s rest at nine and rode on through the. night I reached .the hamlet of Rlchville soon after day- break-and put ,out! for .a rest of two hours. I could take it easy then. At seven o’clock the mare and I started again, Avell fed and eager to go on. ‘ It ivas-a summer morning' that, short­ ens the' road—even that of .the young lover. I t s air was sweet with the breath of the meadows. The daisies and the clover and the cornflowers and the wild roses seemed to be wav­ ing a welcome to me, and the thorn trees—shapely ornament of my-.native hiils—were in.' blossom. 'A cloud ,of -; pigeons' swept across the blue deep above my head.- The. great choir of the fields sang to me—bobolinks, song-, sparrows, ' meadoWlarks, ' bluribirdS, warblers, wrens, and far away in the edge of a . spruce'- thicket ! heard the • flute of the white-throated sparrow. I bathed at a brook in the woods and put on a clean silk shirt arid tie out of my saddlebags. I rOde slowly then to the edge of the village of Can­ ton and turned, gt the bridge and .tqok the river road, although I had time to spare. HOw my heart was beating as I neared the familiar scene! The river slowed its pace there, likea dis­ cerning traveler, to enjoy the beauty Of its shores. Smooth and silent was the . water arid, in it wgre the: hljie;Of the sky and the feathery shadow-spires of cqdar and tamarack and-the reflect­ ed. blossoms .of iris ..and meadow rue.. It ,wds a lovely scene. There , was . the .pine, but Wlierei Wgs my :lady Y- I ,dismounted and tied-my mare and. looked, at my ...watch, .i:. Jt lacked twenty minutes to eleven. She. would come—rl had no doubt of if, I Washed my hands and 'face' and neck in the coolwater. Sudderiiy i heard a yolce'.' l knew; ’ siriging: “Barney Leave the Girl's Alone.” .I turned and saw—your' mother, my son. (These last lines were.; dictated to his son.) She was in the stem of a birch canoe, all dressed in white with roses in her hair. I raised my hat and she threw a kiss at me. Old Kate sat in the bow Waving her, 'handkerchief. They stopped and Sally , asked , in a tone of playful seriousness: “Young man, why have you come here?” “To get you,” I answered.- “AVhat do you want of me?” She was looking at her face in the water. “I want to marry you,” I answered bravely. “Then you may help me ashore if you please. I am in my best, white slippers and you are to be very care­ ful.” Beautiful! She was the spirit of the fields of June then and always... I helped her ashore and held her In my arms and, you know, the' lips have a way of speaking then in the old, con­ vincing, final argument of love. They left no dOubt In our hearts, my son. “When do’you wish to marry me?” she whispered. “As soon as possible, but my pay is only sixty dollars a month now.” “We shall -make it do,” . she an­ swered. . “My mother arid father and your aunt and uncle and the Hackets and. the minister and a number of our friends are coming in a fleet of boats.” “We are prepared either for a picnic or a -wedding,” was the whisper of Kate. “Let’s make-it both,” I proposed to Sally. . “Surely there couldn’t be a better place than, here under the big pine— it’s-so smooth and. soft, and shady,” "said she. “Nor could there be a better day or better company,” I urged, for I was not sure that she would agree. The boats came along. Sally and I waved a welcome-from the bank and she merrily proclaimed: "It’s to be a wedding.” Then a cheer ■ from the boats, in which I joined. I shall never forget how, when the company had landed arid the greetings were over, Uncle Peabody approached your mother and said: “Say, Sally, Tm goto’ to plant a kiss on both o’ them red ^cheeks o’ yoursj an’ do it deliberate, too.” He did it and so did Aunt Deel and' old ‘Kate, and I think that, next - to your mother and me, they were the happiest people at the wedding. *. * * * * * There is ai lonely grave up In the IHli^—that of the stranger who died long ago on Rattleroad. One dny I found old Kate sitting beside it and on a stone lately erected there was the name, Enoch Rone. “It Is very sorrowful,” she -whis­ pered. “He was trying to. find me when he died.” We walked on In silence while I re:, called the circumstances. How strange that those tales of blood and lawless daring which Kate had given to Amos Grimshaw had led to the slaying of her own son! Yet, so it happened, and the old wives will tell you the Story up there in the hills. ' The play ends just as the night is falling with Kate and me entering the little home, so familiar now, where she lives and is ever welcome with Aunt DeeJ and Uncle Peabody. The latter- meets us at the door and is saying in * cheerful voice: - “Come in to sripper, you' roverr. How solemn ye look!

The estimates show that the output of jiig iron, copper, ferro alloys, lead, zinc, gold, silver and aluminum was valued at slightly un­ der $2,000,000,000 in 1918, as against a little more than $2,000.000,000 in 1917, whereas the nonmetnllie products, the principal of which are coal, petroleum, clay products, cement and natural gas, were valued at more t,han $3,250,000,- 000 in 1918, as against less than $3,- 000,000,000 in 1917.

(Prepared by the United Stiixes Depart- . . ment of Agriculture-) One application of ; sodium fluorld will kill all lice of chickens, entomolo­ gists of fhe department of agriculture have discovered. This, inexpensive white powder, they find, will rid a flock of all the seven common,species of chicken lice In a few days. One pound, costing only 40 or 50 cents at the time of this writing, is enough to treat 100 fowls, Ifdusted on. If dis= solved in water and used as a dip, .the same amount will go three times as far. . It is easily applied, economical, gives immediate results, and does not Injure the fowls or the poultryman. The complete effectiveness of the sodium fluorid remedy and methods of using it are discussed in Farmers’ Bul­ letin 801 of the Uulted States depart­ ment of agriculture, “Mites and Lice on Poultry,” by.F. C. Bisliopp and H. P. Wood. The bnllelin deals also with niites, the niglit .pests of chickens, which require a different lreatinent. Llce are biting Insects that work Iiy day and are a serious foe in neglected small flocks of general farms and back yards. Sodium fluorid—say It plainly to the druggist or. you may get sodium chlo- rid, common salt, which it not only re­ sembles in name but in appearance— may be obtained at most large drug stores. Tlie finely powdered commer­ cial form is cheaper and more easity applied by the dusting method tliim the fine, crystallized sodium fluorid. To apply the material in dust form, place it in an open vessel on a table, and with one hand hold the fowl'by the legs or wings.' With the other hand place the chemical among the feathers next to the skin, according to what is known as the “pinch” method, which proceeds as follows: One pinch on the head, one on the neck, two on Ousting a Hen With Fluorid, a Very Effective Lice Killer. the back, one on the breast, one below the vent, one on the tall, one on either thigh, and one scattered on the under side of each wing when spread. Each pinch con be distributed by pushing the thumb and fingers among the feath­ ers as the material Is released. If the chicken is held over the vessel, the ma­ terial which falls from the fowl during the operation is recovered. The material also may be applied by means of a shaker, but this method has some disadvantages as compared with the “pinch” method. When this method is used the amount of sodb uni .fluorid may be reduced by adding four parts of some finely powdered material, such as road dust or flour, to each part of fluorid. The dust, while not poisonous, is somewhat irritating to the nose and throat. If allowed to remain on the skin in any quantity for any great length of time, it may cause slight local irritation. For these rea­ sons, those dusting a large number of chickens.would do well to cover nose and mouth with a dust gnaTd or damp cloth and to wash their hands occa­ sionally. The dipping method is more econom­ ical, but among many poultry raisers there Is a general sentiment against the practice of dipping fowls, largely because most of the dips contain ma­ terials which discolor the. feathers. The sodium fluorid dip, however, is harmless, and as compared with dust­ ing Is more easily done. As It is neces­ sary that the fowls dry quickly, dip­ ping is most applicable in the Southern states and to summer treatments In the North. For lice on young chickens, young turkeys, and, in fact, all newly hatched or sick fowls, .the application of sodium fluorid In the dust form is recommended.

M DAfMl feEdORD, MOcKSVILtF, N. & C ^ V it Tv Move to Reduce. Cotton Acreage In Texae Gathers Momentum Dally. Considerable impetus is being given the state campaign for the reduction of the cotton acreage fully 33 per cent by the co-operation of the mar­ kets and warehouse department and by the extension service of the- Agrb cultural and Mechanical college. Thees departments are co-operating with the county committees in every instance In the matter of urging upon the farmers the importance of reduo- tion of the cotton acreage and fa planting sufficient food and feed crop# to insure an adequate supply for noma consumption. The entire force of inspector* «8 the markets and warehouse depart­ ment is now In.the field, conducting B systematic campaign along the lines of cotton reduction. This work is be­ ing done under the direction of F. C. We inert, commisioner. The inspec­ tors of this department report that all of the counties are organized and are working to secure pledges. Acre­ age reduction is due largely te B heavy acreage of wheat, oats and corn., already planted and being plnfiS- ed. Henderson county has been re­ ducing the acreage for the last ten years, but a still further reduction will be made for this year. Similar re­ ports were received from each at fibs inspectors. . County Agents Are Active. The county agents are working oat. plans applicable to the conditions pre­ vailing in their respective counties. Special-emphasis is laid upon the Im­ portance of planting sufficient feed crops for home consumption. The agents are attempting to bring before the farmers the fact that it will b# to their economic interest to reduce their cotton acreage and substitute some other crop instead. The dire^ tor of the extension department ct A. and M. College reports that the committees over the state are doing considerable good in the campaign te secure a reduction of the crop one- third. The mass meeting of all the farm­ ers and bankers of DeWitt county has bsen called for March'8 at Cuero by r.ha county' committee. Letter* hart been addressed to every farmer and banker, requesting, their presence at the meeting. T. S. Henderson of -"e.meron, a large cotton planter of Milam county, will address the men al this mass meeting. TEe committee appointed in San Petrico county has reported Chat they do not believe it necessary to conduct a campaign for reduction of the cotton ao-eage. The following statement was made: In San Patrlco County. "On account of the wet weather and advanced season, it will be im­ possible for the farmers of this coun­ ty to plant a full acreage in cotton. The season here is well advanced, much more so than in the more'north­ ern sections of the state, and very little farm work has been done on ac­ count of the exceedingly late wet spring. In fact, this is the first week that the weatherr,has been favorable to farm work. "The farmers are. so far behind with their work that it would not be easy 'to get the farmers interested in such •a campaign. But the acreage will be .necessarily cut down one-third. An­ other matter hindering a campaign,' is the fact that we are unable to grow other crops ah are other sections of the state. Our only substitute for cotton is grain sorghums, for which 'there is no satisfactory market. "We are In full sympathy with the movement, but we do not think that a campaign for further reduction would meet with popular approval In view of the circumstances out­ lined."—Dallas News. Gen. Carr Talks of Cost of Cotton Gen. Julian S. Carr, of Durham, gave out the following interview In Washington a few days ago In regard to the cotton situation: ~ 'The price of cotton has fallen ma­ terially in the last few months, and now is down to 23 cents, or there­ abouts.

One often hears the expression, “My child caught a severe cold which develop­ ed into diptheria,” when the truth was that the cold had - simply left the little one particularly susceptible to the' wan­ dering diptheria germ. If' your child has a cold when diptheria is prevalent you should take him out of school and 'keep him off the street until' fully recovered, as there is a hundred times more danger of his taking diptheria when he has a cold. When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given it quickly cures the cold and lessens the danger of diptheria or any, other germ disease being contracted. FRENCH HQNOlt Y.M. CJ-EM M f - ' ■ n I Dr. John P.

The following is a clever Irish story of .a soldier- soihewhere in France: ’ An Irish soldier, after eight months of hard, active service, ap plied for a furlougn. His request was gianted, and then, it dawned upon him that ne bad- no money to take advantage of his holiday. He wanted $100 to go tq Paris. ■ Ke Was at his wit’s end, there being no time to be lost, when he remem­ bered his old advice to apply to the good God above in time of trouble. So he wrote and posted this letter: Dear, Lord:—Here I’m after fighting ten months in mud up to my neck. The work is somewhat unpleasant, but ye’ll be glad to hear I killed fifty Germans. ' Now I’m a little tired' and I have mb furlough all right, but I have no money, havin’ spent most of what I had for prayer books.. Ask Tim McCarty if you don’t believe me. “So Lord, I ask ye in the name of all the saintB for the small snm of $100. Shnre, ye’ll never miss it, an’ if ye Bend the money, I’ll never forget yer in my prayers, an’ I’ll pay ye back as soon as- we get to Berlin.” Yours truly, “PAT CASEY” . In due course this appeal reach ed the censor’s office, which hap­ pened in this particular locality to behouBed in the Y. M. C- A. quarters* The letter was passed around and ' aroused considerable attention and interest, as Casey was known to be a very brave and cheerful fighter. ~ Contributions were sought and finally the sum of @5Q was raised This was •.8cnfc>to~thev applicant? Without comment in a Y. M 0.

A well dressed' smooth talking young man entered his store and asked for a five cent jar of mus­ tard. He gave a $lb bill in pay­ ment, and upon receiving, bis change remarked ’ that- he had handed the grocer a $1 bill. You certainly are an honest man he said. uYou might hav.e given me only 95 cents in change and I would not have discovered the mistake. Theu the customer produced a $1 bill, placed it with four of the $1 bills the grocer had given him in change and aske'd the grocer if he would mind letting him have a $5 bill on the counter, ‘.‘Here. I’m.robbing you of all your ctiange,” said the customer picking up the $5 bill and the. five $1 bills. “I can do better than this! Just let me have my $10 bill back and I’ll give you this $5 bill and the $1 bill.” ' The: grocer made the change and the customer left the store. Latet the grocer in going over his cash, discovered a shortage., ..He told tbe-policeman he was not sure but thought he was out about $5 05.

Apart from the maoy blades A Strange Phenomena.- Mount J?isgah, April 9.—(Spe ciai)—A strange phenomena oe- curred.here a few days ago that has puzzled-the population of up­ per Hominy, and the case will probably - be presented to 'some scientist in Asheville for a solu­ tion. Will Cogburn keeper of the Vanderbilt estate on Pisgah, has a hound dog that was born and rear­ ed near the top of the monntain. The animal had lived in the high altitude all his life and had never descended the mountain until, re ceutly when Mr. Cogburn started down with the hound. Half way down the mountain the dog ap­ peared to become dizzy and Beemed to be walking rather ‘‘stiff-legged.” At a turn in the road the hound leaped from the road toward a ra­ vine, but instead oi alighting sev­ eral hundred feet below, the ani­ mal remained suspended in mid­ air, He continued to float around like a toy balloon caught in an air current. Mr. Cogburn continued down the mountain in his Ford and enlisted the aid of Mr. William 0 ’Kelly. Ibietwo men obtained a rope, made a lasso, and after re­ peated efforts succeeded in lassoing the dog and hauling him in* He was bloated and h is. eyes were bloodshot. The hound was car­ ried back to the top of the monn tain and in a few minutes ‘had completely recovered from his. ex peiience in the lower altitude. Which reminds us of the Btory Why Not Here? “One of the thin^S that impres­ ses the foreigner visiting America is that food prices in this cquntr* are still just as high as ever, while in England and France, and, I be lieve, in all other conn trie, Ger­ many possibly excepted, price* have fallen materially since’ the armistice was signed,” H. J. Stone an American who has lived abroad loranumber of years, tells the Washington Post. “It was but a short time after hostilities ceased that food prices in England took a tumble. Of course the. decline was not big, but there was a general decline, and prices have been coming down gradually every since In a measure i attribute this to the wonderful prgauization the British built up during the war. “In America, however, there seems to be no' actual control Dealersseem to make -whatever priceB'they desire, and. not with standing the government has a food controller and ~ many assistant!=, they do not appear able to give re lief to the- consumers. With the United States produciug the great est food supply in the - world, it would seem that the people here ought to have the, first chance of reduced priccs, but the opposite appears to be the case. ”—Ex.

Britts Patriosic Deliverance. Es Congressman James J. Britt, of the tenth district, appears to be iu exact accord with Mr. Root on the question oi the League of Na tioae. Mr Bfitt also would have amendments, but he contends, -in an article contributed to The Greensboro Hews, that, “whatever form it may take, a League of Na­ tions we must have, else we must go on through the coming centuries as we have come through the past, murdering our fellpwmen, wasting our treasure, defacing Nature, de­ molishing our places of art aud beauty, casting our children to Moloch, aud sprinkling the blood of ohr first-born on the lintels of the door.” I He Observer is grati­ fied at the broadness of the view Mr. Britt takes on the political as pecfc. He laysdown the proposi­ tion that in the consideration of any amendments that may be pro­ posed for the League ‘ and of the League, itself, there ought to be “in this country, the fullest, freest and most open discussion,.-as well as the broadest tolerance of views, with no thought whatever of party politics or the ambitions of indi vidual men, as the issues involved are as mnch greater than the is­ sues of parties or the. ambition of men, as the heavens are high' above the earth.” Mr. Britt’s idea is that this “is an opportunity for all .

There will be held in Lexington, Wednesday May 7th. a Sunday school institute for the 83 Methodist Sunday schools in Forsyth, Davidson and Davie counties, these counties constituting what is called in Metho­ dist parlance a district. Each school in this territory is asked to send at least one delegate to this meeting. Mr. 0. V. Woosley, Sunday School Field Secretary for the Western North Carolina Conference, will di­ rect the proceedings of this institute under the guidance, of Presiding El- dqr Frank Siler, of the Winston dis trict. Assisting Mr. Woosley in the work of the institute will be Mr. M. W. Brabham and Miss Marie Hansen, two strong Sunday school workers from Methodist headquarters at Nashville, Tenn. Miss Hansen will direct the work ot teachers dealing with boys and girls under thirteen years of age and Mr. Brabham will have charge of the activities occurring with the work of Btudents above that age. It is likely that during part of the day the sessions will be divided and those delegates preferring the work of the elementary department will go with Miss Hansen and those desiring work with the teen age and adult work will go with Mr. Brabham. This is one of twelve district insti­ tutes Arranged by Mr. Woosley . and promises much value to Sunday school workers attending.

Reynolds fac­ tory ■ this morning He was working with an electrical apparatus which was used for igniting the flashlight powder. In attempting to . pour some of the powder from a flask in­ to the firing tray, a short circuit in the wiring caused a premature spark which ignited the powder in both the tray and in' the bottle. Mr. Stroud was removed to the hospital, where he was treated and the at­ tending physician is.hoping to save both the eye and hand, if no com­ plications set in. Mr. Stroud-is a brother of the ed­ itor of The Record, and has many friends and relatives in Davie who will be sorry to learn of his misfor­ tune.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. 0. \ I ' I WILSON STATEMENT WiS NO DISCONTENT AND REBELLION 13 REPORTED BY PRISONERS IN ANARCHIST HERD. SACRILEGE SNO DESECRAT’ON Sympathies of Ruscians Alienated by A bso lu te and Wanton Disregard and Disrespect of Their Religion. Archangel.—The situation is still, {ranquil, though the breaking up. ot the river may dictate the expediency of action against the bolshevists next week. Our flotilla is ready to go up the moment the ice is free. Reports of prisoners from bolshevist sectors indicate discontent and rebellion among the bolshevists. Civilian Rus­ sians here are watching anxiously the movements of the allies. The Russian army is gaining strength and fervor. General Ironside is doing his utmost to set them on their legs and instill a belief in their own capabilities. The officers and men find entertain­ ment in the evening at dances and visiting different messes. Food is plentiful except vegetables. Sacrilege and desecration are be­ coming the outstanding feature of bol­ shevist terrorism. This is remark­ able as it shows the lack of under­ standing of the psychology of the Rnssian peasant, whom the bolshevist seeks to win to his cause. The Rus­ sian's religion amounts almost to fanaticism and wanton desecration of churches alienates any fugitive sym­ pathy with the enemy. Captain Hitching has just returned from a special investigation of a vil­ lage recently retaken from, the bol­ shevists after being in their hands a month. The church was used for bil­ leting troops, the. baptismal font filled with ikons and broken sacramental garments used as dusters, all the cup­ boards ransacked and the house pil- lagod. One villager, an allied partl- P-n. had both his hands severed. Oth­ er districts report similar and worse orgies. In one instance there was a mock marriage between a priest and a mare. From some villages they took- amv the school mistress, but the vil- lijers say there was no defilement of TOien folk. SPECIAL EFFORTS TO BE MADE FOR OVERSUBSCRIPTIONS Washington—Special efforts to ob- •aia over-subscriptions from commu­ nities to counterbalance possible un­ der-subscriptions from others will be siitde this week by Victory Liberty Juoan committees at the request of the treasury. After canvassing the financial situa­ tion throughout the ccMntry, national managers of the loan have discovered that vicissitudes of the post-war read­ justment period have reduced the or­ dinary ability of some communities to subscribe the same proportions-as in previous loans, although in many cases they have been assigned the same proportionate quota. SAWUEL G O M PER S IS BADLY INJURED IN TA X I C O LLISIO N Nuw York.—Samuel Gompers, presi­ dent of the American Federation of Labor, was seriously injured here when a taxicab in which he was riding was struck by a Broadway surface car and hurled 20 feet to the curb. Surgeons who were summoned re­ torted after an examination that two of Mr. Gompers’ ribs had been frac­ tured, his right hip sprained, and that he had suffered severe body contusion. Despite the advanced age of the labor leader, who is 69 years old, the sur­ geons declared that there was no like­ lihood of the injuries proving fatal. Mr. Gompers has been busy vir­ tually every minute since his return from the peace conference, where he ’erred as chairman of the commis­ sion on international labor legislation, lie had just started out from his hotel I (V for an hour’s relaxation when the ac­ cident occurred. PUBLIC ENfiAGEMENTS MUST TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER PRIVATE PACTS. ‘THUNDERSTORM OFHONESTY” Exeluslon of Southern Slavs From Cenferenee on "Adriatic Question Barred Italians Also." SEAPLANE BREAKS WORLD'S RECORD FOR ENDURANCE ’•Washington.—A naval seaplane of the F-5 type, carrying a crew of four men, remained in the air at the Hamp­ ton Uoads naval base for 20 hours and' 1O minutes, establishing what naval "facials said was a world's record for saiplanes. The machine covered a ulrtance of about 1,250 miles, averag­ e's a little more than 60 miles an “"vir, despite the tact that a gale of, from 20 to 30 miles was blowing. °epartm ent o f ju s t ic e to ENFORCE p r o h ib it io n Washington.—Enforcement of na- t Onal war-time prohibition, effective ®e*t July I 1 -viriii be undertaken by the department of justice. Attorney Gen- ®ra.l Palmer in a statement asserted at he possessed no power to grant amnesty to any one who might- manu; j ^re beer pending an' interpretation « the law as to what percentage of al- onoiic constituent brings beer ,with* “ the meaning of the prohibition ict, Paris.—An eminent Roman Catholio prelate -whom President W ilson' re­ ceived weeks ago when the prospects of the conference were dark prepared for him a little address consisting of one sentence: “Mr. President,” it ran, “a thunder­ storm of honesty.” In the statement on the Adriatic question sent by wireless throughout the world, Mr. Wilson played the part for . which the eminent prelate cast him. The statement, certainly hon­ est, has caused a thunderstorm. The fact that the President had pre­ pared the statement for publication had for some days been an open secret. • From the yery beginning the Presi­ dent has taken and will take the posi­ tion that public engagements -publicly entered into by the allies must take precedence over seciet engagements whenever the two kinds of engage­ ments were incompatible. The Italian delegation attempted to escape from this dilemma by assert­ ing that -Mr. Wilson’s principles ap­ plied only to peace with Germany, but not - to - peace with Austria-Germans and Magyars. Mr. Wilson and the whole American delegation have steadily set their faces against this standpoint. The United States recognized the kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Mr. Iransing declared tn the council of 10 that if the southern Slav dele­ gates were to be excluded from the sitting of the council when the Adri­ atic question was discussed the Unit­ ed States must insist that the Italians also be excluded. FIFTEEN. THOUSAND NEW MEN . WANTED FOR AIR SERVICE New York.—With a view to aiding the air service of the United States army to obtain 15,000 men “much needed” by enlistment, Capt. Charles Glidden, air service, U. S. army, has issued the following statement: “All men who wish to take part In the development of the nation’s air service; as an aviator, or dirigible bal­ loon pilot, chauffeur, mechanic or work at some '30 other trades required in the air service, by sending their name and address in care of the de­ partment air service officer, 104 Broad street, New York, immediately will receive an important communica­ tion on the subject which I have pre­ pared after serving as an officer sev­ eral months in the United States army flying school at Southern field, Ameri- cus, Ga., and at the United States a rm y balloon' school, at Ft. Omaha.” BELIEVED PROBABLE THAT ORLANDO WILL COME BACK Paris.—Not a rapture, but a suspen­ sion of Italy’s collaboration in the peace conference—that is how the sit­ uation was defined in conference cir­ cles. The Italian delegation, feeling that its representative character has been called in ' question in certain quarters, considers it its duty to refer to the Italian parliament, but.it is be* lteved to be probable that Prettier Or­ lando will be back in time for the opening of the negotiations with the German plenipotentiaries at Ver­ sailles, which will not occur before May I or May 2. Until .the Italian prime minister’s return the Italian delegates will not attend the sessions of either the con­ ference or its commissions, but in or- -Ier to show that Italy desires to main­ tain good relations with the allies the. Italians will continue to collaborate on the inter-allied commissions. AMERICAN CIVILIANS . IN GERMANY IN WANT Coblenz.—A number of American civilians in various parts of occupied Germany- are in serious scraits be­ cause of the food situation. Among those who have g u ested the civil affairs officers , of the third •nny to take some action toward tne •elief of the Americans in question ,re .several members of congress who tIave been in Coblnz recently.

SOME PIPERS Oli Evening Globe, Stronfcly Antl-Wilson, Says That the President Takes an Impossible Attitude. London.—-All the London evening newspapers devote their leading. arti­ cles to President Wilson’s appeal in connection with the Italian situation at the Paris conference and to Pre­ mier Orlando’s decision lIto withdraw from the conference. The Westmin­ ster Gazette endorses the statement of. the American executive, noting ,that Italy in. her claims went beyond the treaty of 'London in claiming Fiume as well as the Trentino and other ter­ ritory assigned , her by the London pact ' > “We are obliged to point out,” says the newspaper,' “that in this very treaty Fiume was assigned to the Croatians. If, then, the appeal is to the treaty, we are as much bound not to give Fiume to Italy as we are bound to give her the other territories.” If the tlalians claim Fiume under the principle of self-determination, adds The Gazette, that principle also applies to the Slav regions which were assigned to Italy under the treaty. The Evening Standard says it can­ not pretend to be convinced by Pres­ ident Wilson’s arguments, while The Pall Mall 'Gazette says that Italy.is claiming the fulfillment of the treaty •where she is the gainer by its terms and its abrogation where it stands in the way of her full demands. “Her statesmen," The Pall Mall Ga­ zette adds, “must realize upon reflec­ tion that the second attitude under­ mines whatever moral force is inher­ ent in the trust.” The Evening Globe, which is strong­ ly anti-Wilson, says the President his- taken up an impossible attitude. It refers to his appeal as an insult to the Italians and suggests that his best course would be “to retire gracefully from a discussion which concerns neither himself nor the American con­ tinent.” • REQUEST OF THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT GRANTED' Paris.—The request of the German government that German fishermen be permitted in the Skagerrak and Cat- tegat. passages was granted by the su­ preme economic council. The council also approved the pro­ posal for a more extensive use of the water route through Germany by the way of Hamburg and the River Elbe. It abolished the existing limi­ tation of 8,000 tons of food and ma­ terial in qrder to supply the present needs of the Czecho-Sl ovaks. It is estimated that the traffic through the Elbe probably will amount to from 25,000 to 35,000 tons at a time. TO BE LITERAL.

MAY ORDER ALL Y. M C. A. WORKERS'OUT OF ITALY Paris.—The 'possibility of ordering all Y. .M. C. A. workers out of Itily is being' considered .by John ft. Mott, of the war work council of the T: M, C.

There are ah out 200 American workers in Italv •resigned to 'various units of tin 3 Italian army and Mr: -Itott was some what perturbed over tlie pnssihil >ty that they might hecome involved; 'h manifestations' of ' anttAmericac feeling:.; ' Y " . NO . PARTY TO PROPOSED CON. CESSIONS PREDICATED ON FALSE PREMISES. IiTIIL CHANGE r CONDITIONS Creation of Several New States Makes the Port of Flume Their Natural Outlet to. the Sea; The Italian situation overshadowed all other questions throughout the day in Paris and was the sole subject of conversation in official and unofficial circles. Proposals and counter-proposals were made between the members of the British, French and Italian dele­ gations, and numerous stories of com­ promises were circulated. These were suddenly discredited by the issuance of -President Wilson’s statement, showing that the President- was not a party to the proposed concessions, whfch were chiefly based on the sup­ position that Fiume could be given to Italy. The idea, which -had been prevalent in Paris, that the Adriatic situation was. a game of chess, in which the most skilful diplomats would win, re* gardless of the armistice conditions, was suddenly banished by President Wilson’s action. It had been generally known that he had prepared a statement which was presented to the entire American delegation, and that the delegation had approved it. But there, was no suspicion that his position was so un­ alterably Sfainst secret diplomacy. Declarations by the members of the American delegation that the Presi­ dent would not yield on this matter of Fiume.were regarded by most Eu­ ropean diplomatists, and especially by the Italians, as p a rt' of a political game, until even now many old school diplomatists seem unable to compre­ hend what has happened. .In his statement President Wilson, explaining his position on the Adriatic question, declares that Fiume cannot become a part of Italy. The President points out that every condition concerning the' Adriatic set-: tlement has been changed since Italy entered the war upon the Hr^tni--Os nf the pact of London, the Austro-Hunga­ rian empire having disappeared. He notes that new states have been created from which Fiume is the nat­ ural outlet to the sea. SECRETARY BURLESON ALSO HAS HIS BAD MOMENTS Washington.—Postmaster General Burleson, in' a statement, asserted that an. organized propaganda had been inaugurated to destroy him and thereby to aid In bringing about re­ peal of the zone postal law increas­ ing second class rates. The statement charged that more, than a year ago an unnamed member •if a committee seeking repeal of the law. urged him to acquiesce and blunt­ ly informed him/ “we ruined Postmas­ ter GeneraI-Hitchcock and destroyed Mr. Taft.” Later, it said, a • well known publisher,- also unnamed, prom- 'sed that Mr. Burleson would be made the most -popular man .in 'the cabinet !f he would aid, or acn'uiesce in, the repeal, and said “but it yon do not, I fear the? will ruin you.” These offers were spurned, Mr. Burleson declared.

Paris.—The Italian issue over, the Adriatic has reached an acute stage, >w(liere a decision one way or the other cannot longer ‘be deferred, and a de­ cision either way is fraught with su- rious consequences. '' Despite the Easter calm, which brought vast crowds to the churches and -boulevards, the council, of four continued its sessions at the “white honse.” The Italian premier, Vitorio Orlando, and Uie Italian' foreign, miii- ister Baron Sonnino, were both pres­ ent, and made it known that the open­ ing of the Italien parliament has necessitated their leaving Paris with definite knowledge of what is going to be done. Baron Sonnino continued to occupy the extreme position, insisting upon the integral fulfillment of the secret treaty of London, giving to Italy the entire Dalmation coast and islands, and also claiming the city of Fiume without internationaliation or divlszon with the Jugo-Slavs. Premier Orlando was rather more conciliating, though a telegram which he had received from the heads of the Italian army declared that the entire army was behind him in upholding Italy’s aspirations. President Wilson’s position was said to be equally determined. against any recognition of the secret treaty of London. Reports of a compromise on -the basis of -the Italians getting the Ital­ ian quarters of Fiume and the Jugo­ slavs getting their districts were not ■r-onfirmed,. as it was said that this was ^lie plan , put forward to the Italians aut not accepted. But early reports indicated that the sessoii might be prolonged through the day in an ef­ fort to reach-. a middle ground.

It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the as­ tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re­ jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica­ tions are declined do not. even suspect that they have the disease.

ADVENTURE, FIGHT­ ING, TREASURE. "Jacqueline of Golden Rlvern Is a romance of love, adventure and fighting—the ttesia of all good romance. It is no preach­ ment In story form; no sex- problem novtI; no propaganda under the guise of fiction. It is a real romance and its; purpose is to entertain. And, as if love, adventure and fighting were not enough, a most engrossing mys­ tery of hidden treasure gives reason for the plot and action. The heroine is beautiful, fasci­ nating—and mysterious. The hero, freed from city drudgery by a legacy, is ripe for adven­ ture and when it comes em­ braces it whole-heartedly. And such an adventure Ss it proves to be! It begins in a big city and swiftly the sccne changes to the Canadian wilds. Action at every 6tage and the mystery deepening with each hew devel­ opment!—Editor's Note. CHAPTER I, A Dog and a Damsel. As I sat on a bench In Madison square after half past eleven in the evening a dog came trotting up to me, stopped at my feet and whined. There is nothing remarkable in hav­ ing a strange dog run to one, nor in seeing the creature rise on its hind legs and paw- at you for notice and a caress. Only, this happened to be an Eskimo dog. I stroked the beftst, which lay down at iny feet, raising its head sometimes to whine and sometimes darting off a little way and coming back to tug at the lower edge of my overcoat. But my mind was too niuch occupied for me to take any but a perfunctory in­ terest in its maneuvers. SIy eight years of thankless drudgery as a clerk, following on a brief adventur­ ous period after I ran away to sea from my English home, had term’inat- ed three days before upon receipt of a legacy, nnd I bad at once, left Tom Carson’s employment. Six. thousand guineas—thirty thou­ sand dollars—the will said. I had seen for some time that Car­ son meant to get rid of me. It had been a satisfaction to me to get rid of him Instead. He had been alternately a prospec­ tor and a company promoter all tlie working years' of his shabby life. Torn was as secretive as a clam, except with Simon Leroux. Leroux was a parish politician from some place near Quebec, and his clean-shaven, wrinkled face was as hard and mean-as any city boss In the United States. He and old Tom used to be closeted together for hours at a time. I never liked the man and I never cared for Carson's business ways. I was glad to leave him the day after my legacy arrived. My plans were vague. I had been occupying, at a low rentni, a tiny apartment consisting of two rooms, a bath and what is called a “kitchen­ ette,” a t. the top of an old building In Tenth street which was about to be' pulled down. I had half planned to take boat for Jamaica. I wanted to think and plan. The Eskimo dog was growing, un­ easy. It would run from'me, looking round and uttering a succession of short barks, then run back and tug at my overcoat again. Evidently it wished me to accom­ pany it, and I wondered who Its mas­ ter was and how it cam$ to be there. I rose and followed the beast, which showed its eager delight by running ahead of me, turning round at times to bark, and then continuing on its way with a precision which showed me that it was certain of its destina­ tion. The dog turned down a street in the Twenties, ran on a few yards, bound ed up a flight of stone steps and be­ gan scratching at the door of a house that was apparently empty.. This place I knew by reputation. It was Jim Daly’s notorious but decently conducted gambling establishment, which was running full blast at a time when every other institution of this character had found it convenient to shut down. . So the creature's master was inside Daly’s, and it wished me to get him out. I looked In.some disappointment at the closed doors and-turned away. I meant to go home, and I had pro­ ceeded about three paces when the lock clicked. I, stopped. The front door opened cduttiusly' and the gray head of Jim’s negro butler appeared. Then emerged one of the most beau­ tiful women that I have ever seen. , She could ; not have, been more , than twenty , years of , age. Her hair was ■ ■of a fair . .brown, the., features modeled ■splendidly, the .head’polsedVnpon’ a flawless throat that (lepnjed white 'be­ neath a : Mckplerfe- of wnjpniicent •able, . CoDTTteht, W. G. Chapman She carried a sable muff, too, and under these furs was- a dress of un­ stylish fashion and cut that contrasted curiously with them. I thought that those loose sleeves had passed away before the nineteenth century died. In one hand, she carried a bag, Into which she was stuffing a large roll of bills. She passed so close to me that hfer dress brushed my overcoat, and for an instant her eyes met mine. There was a look In them that startled me—ter­ ror and helplessness, as though shs .had suffered some benumbing shock which made her actions more auto­ matic than conscious. I was bewildered. What was a girl like that doing in Daly’s at half past twelve In the .morning? She began walking slowly and rather aimlessly, It seemed to me, along the street in the direction of Sixth ave­ nue. My curiosity was unbounded. I followed her at a decent interval to see what she was going to do. But she did not seem to know. The street loafers stared after her. and two men began walking abreast of her on tlie other side of the' road. I followed more closely.- As she stood upon the curb on the east side of Sixth avenue I saw her glance timidly up and down before venturing to cross. It was quite half a minute before she summoned reso­ lution to plunge beneath the structure of the elevated railroad. JVhen she had reached the other side she stood still again before continuing west­ ward. . The two men crossed the street and planted themselves behind her. They were speaking in a tongue that sound­ ed like French, and one had a patch over his eye. A taxicab was crawling up behind tbein. I was sure that they were in pursuit of her. The four of Us were almost alyeast in the middle of the long block Be­ tween Sixtli and Seventh avenues. Suddenly the man with the patch, turned on me, lowered his head and bntted me off my feet. I fell into the roadway, and at that Instant the sec- 'OIJIG Sent Him Stumbling BasKward. ond fellow grasped the girl by the arm nnd the taxicab whirled up and stopped. The girl’s assailants seemed to be trying to force her into the cab. The bag flew open, scattering a shower of gold pieces upon the pavement. AHd then, before I could get' upon my feet again the dog had . leaped, at the throat of the man with the patch and sent him stumbling backward. Be­ fore he recovered his balance I was at tfte other man, striking out right and left. It was all the act of an instant, and in an instant the two men had jumped into the taxicab and' were being driven swiftly away. I was standing beside the terrified girf, while an Ill- looking crowd, gathes'ing from God knows where, surrsPmded us and fought -like liarpie# for the coins which lay scattered: about. The girl pulled / t my arm distract­ edly. She was white and trembling, and her big gray eyes were full of fear. , “Help me!” she pleaded, clinging to my sleeve with her little gloved hands. “The money Is nothing. I have eight thousand dollars more in my bag. Help me away I” She spoke In a foreign, bookish ac­ cent, as though she had learned Eng­ lish at school. Fortunately for us the mpb was too busily engrossed in its search to hear her words. So I drew her arm through mine and we hurried toward Sixth avenue, where we took an uptown, car. : ’ •We-- had, reached - Herald •• square when It occu.red to me that my com­ panion did not seem to know her, des­ tination. Bo we descended there, I Jiad forgotten. the. dog^ .but. ’riow .the beautiful .creature came bounding; up to us. \ -''T.1 'V ; “Where are you;golngf! I a?ked the girl. “I wilf take you to yfiur'ii'ome^- or hotel,” I added with' a slight up­ ward intonation on-the last word. “I do not know where I 'am going,” she answered slowly. ‘*1 have never been in New York until today.” “But you have friends here?” • She shook her head. “But are you. really carrying eight thousand dollars about with you In New York at night? Do you know the character of the place you came out of?” I asked, trying to find some clue to her* actions. "Oh, yes. That is Mr. Daly’s gam­ ing house. I came to New York to play at roulette there.” She was looking at me so frankly that I was sure she was wholly igno­ rant of evil. , “My father Is too 111 to play him­ self,’’ she explained, "so I must find a hotel near Mr. Daly's house, and then I shall play every night until our for­ tune is made. Tonight I lost nearly two thousand dollars.. But I was nerv­ ous in that strange place. And the system expressly says that one may lose at first. Tomorrow I raise the stakes and we shall begin to win. See?” Slie pulled a little pad from her bag covered with a maze of figuring. “But where do you come from T I aslciMj. "Where is your father?” .. Again I saw that lookof terror come into her eyes. She glanced quickly about her, and I was sure she was thinking of escaping from me. I hastened to reassure her. “Forgive me," I nald. “It is no bus­ iness of mine. And now, if you wiil ' trust me a little further I will try to find a hotel for you.” It would have disarmed the worst man to feel her little hand slipped, into his arm in that docile manner of hers. I took her to the Seward, ihe Grand, the Cornhill and the Merri- niac—each in turn. Vain hope! When I asked for a room for her the clerk would eye her furs dubiously, look over, his book in pretense, and. then inform me that the hotel was full.. My curiosity had given place to deep anxiety on her account. What was this child doing In New York- nldne, and what sort of father had let her come, if her story were true? What was she? She looked French and had something of. the French frankness. ' There was only one thing to do, and, though I shrank from the suggestion it had to made. “It Is evident that you must go somewhere tonight,” I said. “I have two rooms which I am vacating to­ morrow. They are poorly furnished, but there Is clean linen; and if you will occupy them for the night I can go elsewhere, and I will call for you at nine in the morning.” She smiled at me gratefully—she did not seem surprised at all. “You have some baggage?’’ I asked. “Nd, monsieur,” she answered. She was French, then—Canadian French, I had ho doubt. I was hardly surprised at her answer. I had ceased to be surprised at anything she told me. . “Tomorrow I shall show you where to make some purchases, then.” I said. “And now, mademoiselle, suppose we take a taxicab.” As her hand tightened upon my arm I saw a man standing on the west side of Broadway and staring intently at us. He was • of a singular appearance. He wore a fur coat with a collar of Persian lamb, and on his head was a lambskin cap such as worn in colder climates but is seldom seen in New York. He had an aspect decidedly foreign, and I Imagined that he was scowling at us malignantly. I called a taxicab and gave the driver my address. “Go through some side streets and go fast,” I said. ■ The fellow hodded. He understood my motive, though I fear he may have misinterpreted the , circumstances.. During the d riv e I instructed my companion emphatically. “Since you have no friends here you must have confidence in me, mademoi­ selle,” I said. “And you are my friend? Well, monsieur, be sure I trust you,” she answered. “You must listen to me attentively, then,” I . continued. “You must not admit anybody to Jhe apartment until I ring tomorrow. I have the key, and I. sliall arrive at nine and ring, and Ihen unlock' the 'door. But take no notice of the bell. You understand?” "Yes, .monsieur," she answered wearily.! Her eyelids drooped; I saw. that she was very sleepy. The hero escorts the he­ roine to his own rooms for the rest of the night—and brings about a tragedy.

REFUSED MANY TIMES Jeaiousy of Alien Enemy Leads to Double Tragedy—Loved th* Girl and Thought There Was a Rival. .Chicago.—Michael Sasko went to the mantelpiece as soon as he entered tlie boarding house one night recently. He picked up the letters he found there, scanned the addresses and laid them aside—all. but one. It was a letter from Minneapolis, ad­ dressed to Miss Georgianna Jorgensen. He studied it for a while, then put It with the others and went to his room on the third floor. Miss Jorgensen came upstairs, read­ ing the letter, which was written In Norwegian. He stopped' her and asked about the letter. There had been other letters he had demanded to see, letters from France. He Ifad asked the girl to marry him. A . dozen times he had asked. Each time she had refused him. He had believed there was a sweetheart overseas, but she had de­ nied this. Now he was convinced that the other man lived in Minneapolis— for the envelope bore thnt postmark. She would not tell him the name of the writer, turned away from him, went into her room. He dashed in sifter her, caught her in his arms, struggled with her, left her weeping, half kneeling on the floor, half lying across the bed. Georgianna’s roommate, Frieda Knutson, found her there. “I,ock the door,” Georglanna said. “Keep that Mike out of here.” Frieda presently opened the door and went downstairs. As she passed Sasko’s room she saw him rolling a cigarette. She, had gone half ' way down the stairs when she heard a scream, then three quick shots. As she started back upstairs there were two more shots. Found the Girl Dead. The police found Georglanna dead. She had been shot three times. Sasko & Shot Three Times.. had shot himself, twice above the heart They took, him to the Passa- vant hospital,'and there, after a few hours, he made a statement. He had loved the girl ever since he first came to the boarding house, he said. There was another woman in the boarding house who was in love with him, whom he spurned. She had told the authorities he was an alien enemy skilled In .the making of bombs, and they had taken him Into custody and questioned him concern­ ing the fatal post office blast.

IL E FAVBB tOin CONSTITUTIONALITY OF TAX OF 25 CENTS A BALE UPHELD BY JUDGE ALLEN. 6DEB TO THE SUPREME COURT “If It Isn’t Constitutional It Ought tp Be/’ Judge Allen Said When the Argument Had Been Completed. The governor, the Board of- Agricul­ ture and the State warehouse superin­ tendent won the first round in the fight in the courts to compel the State Tax Commission to provide the ma­ chinery for collecting the twenty-five cent per bale tax on cotton levied by the Price warehouse act It required all day to - argue the constiutionality of the act in Wake Superior Court. Judge Oliver H. Allen heard the case and late in the afternoon signed an order directing the Tax Commission to promulgate rules and regulations for the collection of the tax. The hearing before Judge Allen pre­ sented a unique situation by reason of the illness of Associate Justice George Brown, who will hardly sit on the case. Judge Allen having held the act to be constitutional, it will re­ quire three-fourths of the upper court to reverse him. If the supreme court divides evenly when the case goes up for a hearing the judgment in the low­ er court will stand. “If it isn’t constitutional, it ought to be,” Judge A llen'said from the bench when the argument had been concluded. To Develop Air Service. Capt. Charles J. Glidden, an officer in the U. S. Air Service, Military Aeronautics, stated in Washington, this week: All men who wish to take part in the development of the nation’s air service as an aviator or dirigible bal­ loon pilot, chauffeur, mechanic or work at some thirty other trades re­ quired in the air service, by sending their name and address immediately to the Department Air Service Officer, 104 Broad street, New York, N. Y., will reecive an important communica­ tion on the subject which I have pre­ pared. after serving as an officer sev­ eral months in the United States army flying school at Southfield, Americus, Georgia, and the United States army balloon school at Fort Omahar Ne­ braska." More Calls for Aid. Three applications for federal road aid made under the old commission have been approved by the United States bureau of public roads, State Highway Engineer Fallis announced. The first project, in which the agreement is approved, is' project No. 33, Montgomery county, for 10.78 miles of road. The estimated cost is $22 .00.0, and the federal aid involved 1,5000. Project No. 13, Wilkei county, is also fully approved. The proposed road is 17.6 miles long, and will cost $101.- 386. The government aid amounts to $25,000. The statement for project No. 35, Forsyth county, for a. road 1.87 miles long, was also apprpved. The federal •lid totals $26,400 for the project, which will cost in all $60,335. Child Labor Tax Law.

The state's prison authorities are founding up the report on the inves­ tigation of the charges that were filed with the National Prison Relief Asso­ ciation, o f Washingttm recently by .an ex-convict, who served a term in prison .and then loaded up the asso­ ciation officers with "dope” on the way of charges against the manage­ ment of the prison quarters at the state farm that caused the associa- tioh to call on Governor Bickett to investigate. It will be remembered that the sec­ retary of the association intimated to the governor in writing of the charges, that if the state authorities did not .act promptly in an investiga­ tion, call would be made upon the federal authorities for a look in as to the North Carolina prison conditions. While the reply of Governor Biclcett to this communication was never giv­ en to the press, it is safe to assume that in addition to asuring the as­ sociation that North -Carolina would look well into her prison affairs and correct, any abuses, any talk of fed­ eral or any other outsid9 'intervention would be. sharply resented and resist­ ed. Studying Malaria Prevention. Dr. B. E. Washburn, director of, county health work In North Carolina, left for Lake Village, Arkansas, where for three weeks he will study methods in'use there for preventing malaria. The anti-malaria campaign is being waged jointly by the International Board of Health and the Arkansas health department, the co-operation being on the sa.me basis, as that exist­ ing in this state between the state board and county health departments. When Dr. Washburn returns, he will take a hand In directing an anti-ma­ laria campaign In the counties now availing themselves of co-operation with the state health department. Prison Farm Protest. Farmers of the Mount Vernnn School District appeared before Gox- ernor Bickett to protest against the location of the state prison farm on the site of Camp Polk as proposed by certain landowners in that section to- pether with - the Raleigh ChambPr of Commerce and favorably viewed by the state prison board. The half- doz­ en farmers who talked with the gov­ ernor M d who were referred by him to the state prison board, pointed out that the establishment of the farm there would split up the country com­ munity, destroy the school district and seriously disrupt community life. The Mount Vemon school district enjoys' a ten-grade school IwhicU teaches eight months in the year. This school, together with the church and the cemetery would be located within the confines of the camp. Odd Fellows’ Celebration. The sovereign grand sire of the world has issued a proclamation call­ ing on Odd Fellows everywhere to ar­ range appropriate ceremonies in hon­ or of the occasion. James A. Clark­ son, grand master of the jurisdiction of South Carolina, has issued an ap­ peal to Odd Fellows in the state to commemorate the anniversary. Odd Fellows throughout the world will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the order with ap­ propriate exercises. The organization started on its mission on April !!6. 1819, and on April 26 the order will observe its centennial anniversary. Act Is Constitutional. Washington, (Special). — Constitu­ tionality of the North Carolina act of 1913 designed to protect watersheds from fire by requiring the burning of removal of trees cut for commercial purposes within 400 feet . of water­ sheds, was upheld by . the supreme court in affirming convictions under that act of Fred A- Peefley and W. H. Crockett. products of all manufacturing concerns that employ children "nfler 14 years old, more than eight hours a day. The machinery is understood to be model­ ed after the organization that was formed for administering the federal child labor law that was declared un­ constitutional and brings to the state, it is said, a system of-federal inspec­ tion such as was proposed for the state labor department hill that the recent legislature rejected. For Fish Commissioner. Endorsements and recommendations are beginning to stack u p on the gov­ ernor for the office of fisheries com­ missioner, a place made vacant hv the recent death of Commissioner H. L. Gibbs. Among those who have applications before the governor, or who have been suggested to him are W. K. Jacob­ son, Washington; J. H. LeTloy. Eliza­ beth City: T. S. Meckins. Manten: M.

Pul­ lets fed a ration with S3 per cent cot­ tonseed meal averaged only 33.2 eggs apiece in one year. A considerable per cent of these eggs had discolored yolks, with green or brownish-green spots, making them unfit for market These results appear to indicate that cottonseed meal can be fed at the rate of about 10 per cent of the masli. or 5 per cent of the total ration, with an equal per cent of beef scrap with ex­ cellent results. In sections where cot­ tonseed meal is produced, half of the beef scrap In the mash apparently can be replaced by cottonseed meal with excellent results. PROFITABLE TO CULL FLOCK Nest Virginia Raieer Reduces Number of Hens One-Half and Gets as Many Eggs. (Prepared by the United States D epart­ m ent of Agriculture.) That It does not pay to keep poultry In the winter—that is, some poultry— has been demonstrated to at least one West Virginia poultry raiser and his neighbors. Last fall he. followed the advice of the' poultry extension spe­ cialists and culled his flock. From a flock of 81 hens he culled out 39 and sent them to tlie market. To his sur­ prise the remaining 42 birds produced as many eggs as the original flock and Ws feed bill was nearly halved. Severe hot weather is hard -on little chicks. * * * - Hastily collected eggs tor liatehing- are Likely to be disappointing. ♦ * * A turkey gobbler has strong wings, and strong feet; when he gets cross he can do serious damage to children. # * * Never market good, strong, vigorous pullets, as these will make your early layers. • *• * A good layer is more active and nervous and yet more easily handled than a poor layer. * * • Clover and alfalfa hays should be fed In the mash mixture. Some farm­ ers throw a forkful or two of clover in the henhouse occasionully. * * * Early broilers are the most profit­ able and their production requires the use of an incubator and a satisfac­ tory system of brooding. • * * Early hatched pullers, properly grown and matured .will begin to lay during the fali and early winter when fresh eggs, are scarce and when egg prices ate at ffrelr very lilghest iolnt. ncians VO U know the real human doctors right around in jour neighborhood: the doctors made of flesh and blood just like you ; the doctors with souls and hearts : those men who are responding to your pall in the dead of night as readily as in the broad daylight; they-are ready to tell you the;good that Fletcher’s Castoria has done, is doing and will do, from their, experience and their love for children. ^ Fletcher’s Oastoria is nothing new.

Do yoa know why you are asked to can for Fletcher’s CastorJa when you want a child’s remedy: why you must insist on Fletcher’s? For years we have been explaining how the popularity of Fletcher’s Castoria has brought out innumerable imitations, sub­ stitutes and counterfeits. To protect the babies: to shield the homes and in defense of generations to come we appeal to the better judgment of parents to insist on having Fletcher’s Castoria when in need of a child’s med­ icine. And remember above all things that a child’s medicine is made for children—a medicine prepared for grown-ups is not inter­ changeable. A baby’s food for a baby. And a baby’s medicine is just as essential for the baby. , The Castoria Recipe (it’s on every wrapper) has been prepared by the same hands in the same manner for so many years that the signa­ ture of Chas.

I had no ap­ petite, could hardly sleep and suff­ ered constantly, with headaches. “After taking Tanlac a short while I began to improve. I kept it up till I have gained thirteen pounds and feel better and younger than I have in years. Tanlac just flllied me with new life and energy and put me on my feet again, I have a fine appetite and can walk anywhere I want to go and hardlv feel it at all.” “Tanlac is sold by leading, ^drug­ gists everywhere.” „'V ADVERTISEMENT’.
