AUGUST 6, 1919.NUMBER 4 Making a Farce of the Civil Ser vice Law. The National Republican Not long ago President Wilson, former president of the National Civil Service Reform Association, and a professed civil service reform er, dismissed his Civil Service Com mission because it had undertaken to interfere with wholesale violations of the civil service law in. the Post- otfice department, and had published a report criticizing these flagrant violations of the spirit and the letter of (.lie law, made for the benefit of the party and adminstration in pow er. The two members of the com mission who had declined to be sub servient were dropped from the gov • ernment payroll; the third, who had to protect the disregard of the civil service law, was promoted to the position of fiscal agent in Hayti, where we are assisting to the natives in self-determination by operating their custom houses and controlling their government. That the new Civil Service Com mission was well chosen, with a view to continued disregard of the civil service law. is indicated by many outcroppings. It will be recalled that the administration, as soon as a full quota of Democratic postmast ers had been appointed, undertook to give the partisan appointees their jobs for life by blanketing these appointments into the classified serv ice, with the announcement that hereafter appointments .would be made as the result of civil service examinations. It has been discover ed, however, that no m atter how high the grade made bv the Repub lican applicants, some Democratic worker always gets the job, At Morehead City, N. C., three men took the examination for post master. Willis Republican, made the highest grade; Wade Democrat, an active party politician and-Demo cratic editor, made the next highest; another Willis, Democrat, made the' lowest grade. Thereupon the CivlJ Service Commission certified the Re publican Willis for appointment. When protest was made by North Carolina Democratic, congressmen, the examination papers were recall ed, overhauled, and it was announ ced that after all Willis, Republican raked sccond and not first in grade! Wade was appointed! It is the duty of Congress to make an investigation of the operations of the Civil Service Commission in con nection «ith postal appointments. If the commission,, as this and other incidents indicate, is being used merely as a convenient method of accomplishing the ends of the Demo cratic organization under the cam- outflage of reform, then it will be the next administration to lift the protection of the classified service from all the partisan postmasters blanketed into life jobs by the action of their party chief, so that a square deal may be given to all applicants, with special reference to the undoing of the work accomplished in behalf of the Democratic national, state and local machines throughout the country. And if the Civil Service Commission is habitually engaged in such party work as. th is' under the cloak of reform, as many incidents indicate, Congress should have the courage to discontinue the approp riation which supports it. There is now pending in the Uuited States Senate the m atter of .confir mation of the appointment of Thomas D. Warren, chairman of the Democratic state committee, of North Carolina, as district attorney for the Eastern district of North Carolina. The nomination was »nade by President Wilson, in recog- nition of the work done in the last campaign by Mr. Warren, when, un der his chairmanship, there was general denial of the election .‘rights of Republican, and advice given by the state chairmen in letters to par tisan registrars, to vote sick men present in the countv y ^ e r.a b sent voters election law1,' arid^not Ur let- the Republicans know about it. The same Democratic senators from NorthCarolina who prevented the aPPointmen of a Republican postf- master at Morehead, N. G.. after he had earned the appointment by- test uJ a civil service examination, sim- P'y on the ground that the fittest aPPlicant was an “obnoxious Repub lican” , are now asking Republican colleagues to join in confiming the Warren nomination on the grounds of senatorial courtesy. Tnat is a kind of courtesy that would amount to treason t? the Republican party an d lo the good of the public service Just why-Republicans should furnish all the courtesy and Democratic pol- itcians and office holders persist in the rankest partisanshiy is not clear to the ordinary observer. Nor is it clear why a lpolitican who connsels violation of Section laws should be appointed public prosecutor of snch offenses, except it be perhaps to those In sympathy with that brand of political chicanery.

Hitchcock challenged Senator Borah “ to refer me to any test made anywhere to show the state of public opinion on +his league that is noi. favorable, to it,’’ The editor of tho Wichita tiiansas) Beacon promptly commun icated with the -Nebrrska Stnator and sent him the results of a recent ballot conducted by his paper among the farmers and people of small towns in the vicinity. O utof 1.357 replies received only 37 were in fav or of the league covenant as it stands, 457 were against anv league at all, and 863 desired either to amena or reject the present cove nant. In all the polls conducted b£ indi viduals or associations interested in the success of the league the ques tions have been so framed as prac. tically to make a negative answer admit a preference for war. over peace. Suph questions as ‘-’Are you in favor of a leagne of nations to promote world peace?” have been freely used in the ballots conducted by the league promoters, and in the mass meetings engineered by them resolutions have been adopted favor ing "the entrance of the United States into a league- of nations to promote freedom, progress and peaceful cooperation in the develop ment of the world.” However val uable ballots of that character may be as showing the desire of the peo ple for world peace, they bear no relation whatever to the nresent covenant and should not be taken as an index of public sentiment toward it. The Wichita Beacon submitted a list of straightforward questions to its readers bearing solely on the present league covenant, which is the only one with which the country is concerned. They are given below with the vote on each. It would be instructive to all Senators, and particularly illuminating to those who stand for the covenant, if other journals would follow the lead of the Beacon and ascertain the feeling of their communities by interrogatories of the character of those propound ed by the Wichita papqf. Here are the questions and votes: “I favor the proposed league of nations constitution as published, without amendment, 37. “I favor a league of notions con stitution amended so as to protect the Monroe Doctrine in specific lan guage, 299. “I favor a league of nations with constitution amended so as to safe- guard}Amd.ticaa Nghts^n n ite r s of immigration, naturalization, labor? trade, and the Panama Canal, .in specific language. 406 . “I favor a league of nations with constitution amended specifiaa’ly so - that the United States can not be compelled to send soldiers J;o for eign countries to settle disputes as to boundaries, etc.l344 :“1 am wholly opposed to any leagae Of aationkj 457,”.

Washington.;—Developments in the efforts of the government to reduce the. high cost of living were: The house at the request of Presi dent Wilson agreed to defer its plan ned five weeks* recess, and consider demands of railroad employees for in creased wages. The senate' again discussed increas ed living costs but postponed action on the Myers resolution proposing re duction in currency circulation. . The committee of three, appointed to consider means of reducing living expenses and report to the President and cabinet began work. The national officers of the Brother hood of Railway Conductors conferred with President Wilson regarding- In creased wages and the cost of living. The house interstate commerce committee reported favorably a reso lution directing the federal trade com mission to investigate the iitereased price of shoes. Resolutions and bills designed to al leviate conditions of living were intro duced in both houses ot Congress. Of the half-dozen important' devel opments, however, the request of President Wilson that the house forego its recess at least temporarily to con sider wage requests of the railroad -workers of the country and to study economic conditions,' was by far the most unexpected. Chicago.-r-Officers of the Chicago district council of the Federated Shopmen’s union, which called a na tion-wide strike of railway shop work ers, were favorably impressed by President Wilson’s request that Con gress create a commission to consider wage 'increases for railway, employes. When reports were received that the President had suggested that any wage increase be made retroactive to Au gust I, 1919, the union leaders here said they would remain firm for re troaction to January I, 1919; ’ The strike, ccording to reports, was chiefly effective In the middle west and southeast WESTERN UNION NOT TO REDUCE RATES JUST YET. WORLD CONFERENCE OF LABOR : 18 TfO MEET IN WASHINGTON Washington.—So that the flrst meet ings of the international labor. con ference. created by the Versailles treaty may be held In Washington, next: October regardless. of whether the treaty is ratified, the senate unan imously adopted a Joint resolution authorizing the president to call such a meeting but giving no authority tor America’s representation “unless .and until” the treaty's ratification ha* has been accomplished. .Present Wages and Incomes Not Com mensurate with Present Costs of the Necessities of Life. Washington. — Governmental ma chinery was set in motion in response to demands from the public that some official action be taken to relieve the high cost of living. Prices, as they affect the average citizen, assumed flrst place in interest at the capital. At the White House-President Wil- aon wj.3 said'to be giving “deep and very thoughtful consideration'^ to problems presented-to him and the railioad administration by . members of the railroad brotherhoods, who rep resented that prices would have to come down or wages go up if social unrest was not to develop into up heaval. In the senate and house, the situa tion gave rise to several resolutions to investigate the cause ,. of existing price levels, another to reduce the volume of currency in circulation as a means of deflating prices, one to re quest the attorney' general to stop speculation in foods on exchanges,, and another to sell this year’s wheat crop at market prices instead of at the government guarantee, the differ ence to be made up by the govern ment. Attorney General Pulmer met eight high government officials whom he., had summoned to hi* office for a dis-' cussion of high costs and the best methods to pursue to effect a redac tion. After a general talk, lasting nearly three hours, the conference disband ed to meet again, probably-next week, for further counsel. 4 Washington. — Thn alternative of government action to force down the cost of living or of demand by the railroad engineers of the country for another increase in wages was pre sented to President Wilson by Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers and member cl the, brotherhood’s advis ory board. Detailing conclusion reached by the. advisory board at its recent, meeting In Cleveland, Mr. Stone, in a prepared statement read to* the President, de clared that while the rairoad > engi neers found themselves “obliged to again request an increase to meet the mounting cost of living,” they were of the opinion that “the true rem6dy for the situation and one that will re sult in lifting the burden' under which' the whole people are struggling, is for the government to take some ade quate measure to reduce the cost of IhelUecesaries ot life to a figure that the present wages and income of the people will meet.” New York.—When control o f" the telegraph' systems of the country is formally relinquished by the govern ment at midnight a reduction of 20 per cent in rates will be made immediate ly on the lines of the Postal Company, but the Western Union will retain the schedule put into effect .after Postmas ter General Burleson took control os April I. Clarence H. Mackay, president of the Postal, announced In a statement that the rate reduction vouldbe made “In acordauce with its promises to the public.” He qualified the announce ment, however, by saying that if ex penses continued to mouift, charges might have, to go with them.

President .Wilson Was Misled in Recognizing Carranza ' as “The People’s Champion. TURKS AND TARTARS- ARE MOVING UPON ARMENIANS. Washington.—Carranza’s rule, of Mexico is “not a government, but . a band of outlaws,- both technically and practically,” and “today it is utterly impossible, an enemy of its'own peo ple first and Ameriqa second,” William Gates, of Baltimore, .an archaeologist, told the house rules committee in its hearings on the Gould resolution pro posing a congresional inquiry into Mexican affairs. Although asserting that . President Wilson was misled in making his decision to recognize Carranza, believ ing the Mexican to be a “people’s champion,” Gates declared m -favor of leaving the solution of the Mexican problem with the President. The President, he said, had not been fully informed of conditions in the south ern republic. Gates said his opinions were based on a first-hand study of Mexican con ditions for about a year beginning'in July, 1917, during which time he visit ed parts of the country usually not seen by a traveler, including the states of Yucatan, Vora Cruz, Pueblo, Mor ales and Oaxaca. Carranza’s control includes the maifc ports and the railroids,’ with ad joining territory, for a, mile on Qach side: the - transportation lines, ' Gates cscerted.

And, with the sweat sttl^ oh his fore head, he stood looking maliciously at me. - ' ‘if you had let me go,” he said, “you would have died just as you are going to die,” I saw the face of the cliff quiver; I saw an immense rock, half-way up, leap into the air and seem to hang there; then the ground was upheaved beneath my feet, and with a frightful roar the rocky walls swaye'd and fell together. And the rivulet became a cataract that suqged over me and filled my ears with tumult and sealed my eyes with sleep. CHAPTER XIX—Continued. —•15— . I went to Jacqueline and took my seat upon the earth bag barricade. I had my revolver In my hand, but it was not loaded. I threw the car tridges upon the floor. It seemed only a few minutes before a voice hailed me from the tunnel.' “Paul Hewlett,” said Leroux, "you have made a good fight, but you are done for. I offer you terms.” . “What terms!” I asked. “The same as before. I can afford to let you go; for, though my instincts cry out loudly for your death, I am a business man, and' I can suppress them when it has to be done. In brief, M. Hewlett, you can go when you choose.” “M. Leroux,” I answered, “I will say something to you for your own sake, and Mme.' d’Epernay’s, that I would not deign to say to any other man. She is as pure as the best woman in the land. I found her wandering in the street. I saved her from the as sault of your hired ruffians. I gave up my own apartment to her and went away. Do you' believe what I have said to you?” He looked hard Into my face. "Yes,” he said simply. “And it makes all the difference In the world to me.” “Pere Antoine will marry you?” I asked. “Yes,” he replied. “And her father?” "Is safe In the chatenu, playing with bis wheel and amassing a fortune in his dreams.” “One more word,” I continued. “Mme. d’Epemay is very ill. She was struck by one of those bullets that you fired through the door. Wait!” for he had started. “I think that she will live. The wound cannot have pierced a vital part. But we roust be very gentle In moving her. You had better bring the sleigh here, and you and I will lift her into it. And then—I shall not see her again.” CHAPTER XX. Leroux’s Diable. I went hack toward the cave. But I could not bring myself to see Jacque line. I had reached the verge of the cata ract and stood beside the little plat form, looking down. I gazed in awe at the great stream of water, sending its ceaseless current down into the troubled lake below. - . And then I saw Lacroix. He was peering after me from among the rocks, and as I turned he was scut tling away into the tunnel. I followed him hotly; but he must have known every fissure in the cliff, for he vanished before my eyes, appar ently through the solid rock, and when I reached the place of his disappear ance I could find no sign of any pas sage there. And at that moment I heard -Le roux’s voice hailing me, and looked around to see him emerge from the tun nel at my side. He was staring in be wilderment at the cataract. "By Heaven, Hewlett, I don’t know what possessed me to take the wrong turn tonight,” be swore. “I have come through that tunnel a hundred times and never missed the path before.” ''H e swung round petulantly, and at that moment a shadow glided out of the darkness and stood in front of him. It was Pierre Caribou, lean,- sinewy and old. He blocked the path and faced Leroux In silence. Leroux looked at him, and an oath broke from his lips as he read the other’s purpose upon his’ face. Squar ing his mighty shoulders and clench ing his fists, he leaped at him head long. Pierre stepped quietly aside, and Simon measured his full length within the tunnel. But, when he had scram bled to his feet with a bellowing chal lenge, Pierre was In front .of him again. “What are you here for?” roared Leroux, but in a quavering voice that did not sound like his own. “Get out of the way or I’ll smash your face!” The Indian still blocked, the passage. “Your tiine come now, Simon. AU fin- - lsh'now,” he answered. . “You come here one, two year ago,”, Pierre continued. “You, eat up home of M. Duchaine, my master. Old M. Duchaine my master, too. I. belong here. You eat up all, come back, eat some more. Then you sell Mile. nequeline to Louis d’Epernay. You made her run ’way to New York. I ask your diable when your time come.. Your diable he say wait. I wait. Mile. Jacqueliqe' come back. I ask your diable again. Hesaywaitsomemore Now your diable tell me he send you here tonight because your time come, and all finish now.” - ' The face that Simon turned on me was not in the least like his own. It was that of a hopeless man who knows that everything he had prized is lost. He had never cowered before anyone in his life, I think, but he cowered now before Pierre Caribou. Then a roar burst-from Leroux’s lips, and he flung himself upon the In dian in the same desperate way as I had experienced, and in an instant the two men were struggling at the edge of the platform. They bent and swayed, and now Leroux was forcing Pierre’s head and shoulders backward by the weight of his bull’s body. But the Indian’s sinews, toughened by years of toil to steel, held fast; and just as Leroux, confident of victory, shifted his feet and inclined forward, Pierre changed his grasp and caught him by the throat. Leroux’s face blackened and-hls eyes started out. His great chest heaved, and he tore impotently at his enemy’s strong fingers that were shutting out air andTight and consciousness. They rocked and swayed; then, with a last convulsive effort, Leroux swung Pierre off his feet, raised him high In the air, and tried to dash his body against the projecting rock at the tunnel’s mouth. But still the Indian’s fingers held, and as his consciousness began to fade Leroux staggered and slipped; and with a neighing whine that burst from his constricted throat, a shriek that pierced the torrent’s roar, he slid down the cataract, Pierre locked In his arms. I cried out in horror, but leaned for ward, fascinated by the dreadful spec tacle. I saw the bodies glide down the straight jet of water, as a boy might slide down a column of steel, and plunge into the black caldron benenth, around whose edge stood the mocking and fantnstic figures of ice. The seeth ing lake tossed them high into the air, and the second cataract caught them and flung them back toward the Old Angel. At last they slid down into the depths of the dark lake, to lie forever I MI Faced Leroux in Silence. there In that embrace. And still the cataracts played on, sounding their loud, triumphant, never-ending tune. I was running down the tunnel again. I was running to Jacqueline, but something diverted me. It was' the face of Lacroix, peering at me from among the crevices of the rocks with the same evil smile. I knew from the look on it ,that he had seen all and had been infinitely pleased thereby. I caught at him; I wanted to get my hands on him and strangle him, too, and fling him down, and stamp his features out of human semblance. But he eluded me and darted back into the cliff. I caught him near the entrance and held him test - He ,, struggled in my . grasp and screamed. . “Let me go!" he. howIed. “Ah, you will repent Itt Monsieur, let me go! I will give you afialf-share in the gold. What do you want with me?” _ What did I want? I did not know. It,m ust have been the same instinct that leads one to stamp upon a noxi ous insect I think it was his joy In the hideous spectacle beneath the cata ract that had made me long to kill him. . .But now a dreadful fear was dawn ing on me.: “Jacqueline!” I screamed. “I have not seen her.v he replied “Now let me go! Ah, mon Dieu, will you never let me go?. It is too late!”. Suddenly he grew calm. “It is too late,” he said in a monot- CHAPTER XXI. The End of the Chateau. Darkness impenetrable about m« and a thick air that I breathed with great gasps that hardly brought relief to my choking throat. And a voice out of the darkness crying ceaselessly in my ears: “Help me! Help me!” I raised myself and tried to struggle to my feet. I found that I could move my limbs freely. I tried to rise upon my knees, but the roof struck my head. I stretched my arms out, and I touched the wall on either side of me. I must have been stunned by the concussion of the landslide. By a miracle I had not been struck. “Help me! Help me!" I tried to find the voice. I crawled three feet toward it, and the wall stopped me. But the voice was there, It came from under the wall. I felt about me In the darkness, and my hand touched something damp. I whipped it back in horror. It was the face of a man. There was only the face. Where the body and limbs ought to have been was only rock. The face was on my side of a wall of rock, pinning down the body that lay outstretched beyond. I recognized the voice now. It was that of Philippe Lacroix. “Ah, mon Dieu! Help me. Help me!” He continued to repeat the words in every conceivable tone, and his suffer ing was pitiable. I felt one hand come through the tiny opening in the wall and grasp at -me.. “Who is-it?” he mumbled. “Is that you, Hewlett? For God’s sake; kill me I” I crouched beside him, but I did not know what to say or do. I could only wait there, that he might not die alone. “Give me a knife!” he mumbled again; clutching at me. “A knife, Hewlett! Don’t leave me to die like this! Bring Pere Antoine and my mother. I want to tell her—to tell her—" He muttered in his delirium until his voice died away. I thought that he would never Speak again. But present ly he seemed to revive again to the consciousness of his surroundings. “Are you with me, Hewlett?” he whispered. / I placed my hand in his, and he clutched at it with feverish force, r “You will have the gold, Hewlett,” he muttered, apparently ignorant that I, too, was a prisoner and in hardly better plight. “I tried-to kill you, Hew lett. Are you going to leave me to die alone in the dark now?” “No,” I answered. “It doesn’t mat ter, Lacroix.” And, really, it did not matter. “I wanted to kill you,” his voice rambled on. “Lacroix is dead. I watched him die. I thought if—you died, too, no one but I would know the secret of the gold. I tried to murder you. I blew up the tunnel!” He paused, and I heard him gasp for breath. His fingers clutched at my coat sleeve again and hooped them selves round mine Iikp claws of steel. “I had a knife—once,” he resumed', relapsing into his delirium; “but I left it behind me and the police got it. Isn’t it odd, Leroux,” Jhe rambled on, “that one always leaves something be hind when one has killed a man? Blit the newspapers made no mention about the knife. You didn’t know he was dead,’ did you, Leroux, for all your cleverness, until that fool Hewlett left that paper upon the table? You knew enough to send me to jail, but you didn't know that it was I who killed him. Help me!” He screamed hor ribly. “He is here, looking at me!” “There is nobody here, Philippe,” I said, trying to soothe his agony of soul.

PRESS MEETING Editors of; North. Carolina Held the Greatest Meeting In Their History at Wrightsville. Beach. Wilmington,. July . 31.—The .first day’s session of the annual conventipn of the North Carolina Press;Associa tion for 1919 was made memorable by reason of the fact that in hohpr of the annual assembling of the' editors the first concrete ship, from a govern ment owned ■'shipyard was launched here. Another event which made the day one of exceptional interest was the presence of the secretary of the Navy, Hon. Josephus Daniels, who paid his respects to his fellow- brethren of the press in an address at the Victoria Theater, witnessed with them the launching of the ship Cape Fear, spoke to the two thousand operatives of the Carolina Shipbuilding Corporation, which is "building 12 steel ships of large tonnage' here, lunched with the editors and their wives at the mess hall of the Carolina Shipbuilding Cor poration, and left, returning to Wash ington. The program of the Press Associa tion was so badly disarranged b y ,the arrival an hour late of Secretary Dan iels' train that contemplated sessions at the Oceanic hotel were practically abandoned save for the night session and the day given over to the exer cises incident to ’the ship launching and the visit to the plant, where the .steel ships are building. There were, however, formal open ing exercises at the Oceanic, the ad dress of welcome being delivered by Mayor P. Q. Moore, after the conven tion was called to order by President Z. W. Whitehead. President Z. W. Whitehead deliver ed the President's annual address at the night session of. the North Caro lina Association following a cordial welcome to the editors by Mayor Thos. H. Wright, of Wrightsville Beach. A cordial response in behalf of the news paper men was made by Editor J. F. Hurley, of Salisbury, and Editor J. J. Fariss, of High Point. Mr. H. R. Dwire, editor of the Win ston-Salem Sentinel, delivered the an nual oration. August I.—After a year of patient if not watchful waiting, Editor J. iA. Shaipe of the Lumberton Robesonian, came into -his own and was elected president of the North Carolina Press Association, which had a busy day’s session. . Mrs. Carolina Land, man aging editor of the Abemarle News, succeeded in making her point that women have a place In,- newspaper work so clear and definite that the editors were ready at the conclusion of her very interesting talk to elect Miss Beatrice Cobb, of Morganfon, as orator for next year’s meeting. Sections of the report of the com mittee on resolutions committing the Jorth Carolina Press Association to endorsement of the peace treaty with out reservations provoked the most prolonged discussion of the conven tion. The resolution was finally adopt ed by a vote of 32 to 3 and was then -made unanimous. Various matters of interest were discussed as the question of exchanges, the cash in advanqe plan of subscrip tion, political advertising, etc. The cash in advance plan for subscription, it was almost unanimously agreed, was the business-like way of hand ling the question. Officers for the ensning year were elected as follows: President, J. A. Sharpe, Lumberton Robesonian; first vice-president, R. T. Wade, Morehead City Coaster; second vice-president, J. F -.-Hurley, Salisbury Post ; tHird vice-president, Parker An derson, Wilmington Dispatch; secre- tary-treasurer, John B. Sherrill, Con cord Tribune;, historian, M. L. . Ship man, French Broad: Hustler; orator, Miss Beatrice’Sobb, Morganton. News- HeraId; poet, D. L. St. Clair, San ford Express; executive committee, W. C. -Hammer, E .B, Jeffress, I. S. Lon don, Santford Maritn and H. B. Varner. .This is the twenty-third consecu tive year that Mr. Sherrill has held the. office of secretary-treasurer and in that time he has missed but two meetings;. Aug. 2.—The matter which next to the endorsement of the League of Na tions exercised the newspaper men most was the proposition of a group of representatives,, headed by J. L. Horne; of Rocky Mount Telegram’to form three departments within the as sociation, one for the dailies, one for the weeklies and semi-weeklies and one for the tra'de papers.. R- F. Beasley, ' commissioner of public welfare, presented some re marks on the task of the press In re construction. The • association decided to hold a midwinter meeting in Greensboro early in the coming, year. At 1:30 o'clock the- Association adjourned: State Summer- School. Ends. Chapel Hill.—With the final exami nations the 1919 session of the Uni versity of North - Carolina Summer School .comes to an end. There has been an increase in attendance this year of almost-50 .per cent over last year and In every way it has been the most successful session of the sum mer school In recent years.--' Most' of the. attendants have,remamed for the entire, term of six weeks, thus making It possible for- the instructors to car ry. on a much more- comprehensive plan of work.

(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Every Important grain state has been losing over a million bushels of grain each year because of inefficient threshing methods, declare investiga tors of the United States department of agriculture. The government, by bringing this enormous loss to the at tention of farmers and threshermen and showing them how to avoid it, saved 22,000,000 bushels of grain in the 21 states In which the educational work was carried on last year. When an average of eight bushels of grain is lost on every farm In the United States at threshing time every year, that loss begins to have a per sonal , meaning. With wheat worth $2.26, It is well worth while to pre vent that loss, if possible. And it is entirely possible. The chief source of loss is the inefficient operation of threshing machines. Any standard threshing machine will do satisfactory work if kept in repair and operated Intelligently. If the op erator knows his machine, and sees that it is properly adjusted and op erated, grain will come through clean and losses will be small. The farmer should know enough about the general operation of a threshing machine to detect poor work, which means a di rect loss to him. Adjust Separator Carefully. To do good work the separator must be set level, both crosswise and length wise, and then carefully adjusted to the particular job at hand. The greater part of the separation is done in the cylinder and immediately after the grain passes ove? it If cracked grains are frequent there may be too much Large pile shows grain wasted while threshing 2*/z bushels—S pints in this instance. Small pile shows grain wasted after adjustments had been made to machine—less than 1 pint. The unnecessary loss of, .7 pints occurred everyAwo minutes the separator was in operation. This means that 4J£ per cent of the g ra in was lost. ' end play of the cylinder, the speed may be too high, or the concaves may' be set too high. The teeth may be crooked or too high and not centered. Too rapid speed will also crack grain. Dry grain demands a lower speed of the cylinder. , , Unthreshed heads are often found In the tailings. This results from missing or broken teeth, or teeth too far apart, not centered, or badly worn; concave set too low, or concave with not enough teeth. The speed of the cylinder also causes many unthreshed heads. Damp, unripe or moldy grain requires more than normal speed of the cylinder to thresh it out welL '.Operator Should Know Machine. Grain is lost through the improper adjustment of other parts of the sep arator as well as the cylinder, so it is evident that the operator must be thoroughly familiar with,.the entire machine. It may not be possible to. save all the grain now lost, but the careless operator who does not know how to adjust the different parts of his machine will waste a great amouht un necessarily. He will surely have to make frequent stops for adjustment. Every time a machine stops the whole crew must be idle until it starts again —a loss of time to everybody con cerned. Manufacturers furnish instruction books on the care and . operation of their, threshing machine. They have spent years in experimenting, and they know how their machines should- be run to secure the most satisfactory results. A great deal of the trouble experienced by the-thresherman is due .to his disregard of pr even neglect to, read the manufacturers’ instructions.’ There are other ways in which grain can be saved, but the proper operation of the separator is the'most important Efficient operation of the threshing machine should interest both thresher^ men and farmers. CHECK TOMATO LEAF BLIGHT BY SPRAYING As Many as Seven Applications Made in West Virginia. Colon and Solidity of Fruit Was; im proved and 39 Per Cent Increase In Yield Secured—Bordeaux Soap Mixture Used.' (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) ‘T wouldn't grow tomatoes In a blight infested region without spray ing,” days S. L. Dodd, Jr., extension pathologist for the United States de partment of agriculture and W-est Virginia agricultural experiment sta tion, who sprayed tomatoes for the control-of'blight In six counties of West Virginia in 1918. Thorough spraying was the keynote of his suc cess. He made six, and In some fields seven applications, using spray mix ture at the rate of 150 gallons an acre for mature plants. Spraying improved color and solidity of fruit, reduced rot and sunscald, and increased the yield of ripe'fruit 39 per cent, and of both green and ripe fruit 55 per cent A small knapsack compressed-air sprayer rfhs used In this work. Such sprayers are light easy to operate, Compressed-Air Sprayer for Small Operations—Ne Pumping Required While Spraying. and produce a flue misty spray. Sev eral different kinds, varying somewhat in shape and construction," but built on the compressed-air principle, are now offered for sale. The spray formula used was 5-5-3-50 Bordeaux soap mixture, composed of five pounds of copper sulphate, five pounds stone lime, three pounds resin fish oil soap, and fifty gallons of water. To reduce the work of preparing spray mixtures the following ' stock solutions-were made: Five pounds of copper sulphate (blue stone) was dis solved by suspending it in a wooden vessei containing five gallons of wa ter. Copper sulphate corrodes iron and tin. Five pounds of stone lime (quick-lime) was slaked in another vessel by slowly adding water at first and later increasing the volume to five gallons.' Three pounds of resin fish oil soap was diluted in a third vessel by stirring it in hot water until thin, and increasing the-volume to five gal lons by adding water of ordinary tem perature. These stock solutions keep indefin itely if not mixed or weakened by rain, but the lime should be covered to prevent drying out and' air-slaking. The level of the liquid when freshly made and after each spray -period should be marked- on each vessel, and water added when needed to restore loss by evaporation. Ten gallons of spray mixture are prepared by taking one gallon of each freshly stirred stock solution and in creasing it to three' and one-third gal lons by adding water, and by pouring together and stirring the three dilut ed solutions thus made. The result ing mixture is ready for use as coon as strained and should be used while fresh, as it deteriorates by standing. CARE OF HORSES’ SHOULDERS Prevent Accumulation of Dirt and Dandruff’on Collars, Especially If Soreness Develops^ Do not use sweat pads. Keep collars clean of dandruff and dirt, especially if soreness develops. Sponge the shoul-' ders of work horses wltl^ cold water at night after work. If they are sweaty at noon, sponge at noon also. Oare should be taken in fitting collars on work horses. ' Many collars are too big or too loose. # If the withers "are fat or especially full, the fitting of col lars will need extra care.—Ohio State University.

CHATTANOOGA BAKERY cmaY?."0.0** WHERE BEGGING IS AN ART Syrians Are Adepts, and Thieving in AU Branches Is a Flourish ing Business. The well-fed German out here (in (Syria) used to call Uie Turkish soldier an “artiste de faim.” The poor" SJyrian is a genius at it. Begging is the most flourishing trade in Syria, and the only one at which the craftsman gets a proper apprenticeship. Interspersed among the real starvers you-will find child actors who would win a furore In London. They lie in an attitude of death in a woman’s lap, their well- rounded limbs carefully covered with verminous rags. You will see them ten <minutes later, when mamma has gone Shome for lunch, playing touch. Thieving in all its branches—piracy -from off-loading ships, fraud, smug- -gling of stolen goods, pilfering and • pocket picking—Iiad such a boom on the arrival of the British as was never known In the best Turkish days, -though now it is waning beneath a rsomewhat determined police surveil lance. Animals? They talk at home •of selling army horses out here. Well, ithe Arab and even the Syrian knows sthe value of his horse and that while he is in working order it pays to keep him so. That is the utmost limit ; and as to work horses, or any other ani mals, it would need all the staff of the B. S. P. C. A. to keep even the streets free of eyesores.—Anglo-French Re view.

Mr. Newrich was well endowed with wealth, but his vocabulary did not in clude a single “k.”- They argued, but Mr. Newrieh stood firm. “No part, no m'.ney,” was his decision. At last they hit on a plan. He was to come on 'in the second scene and just say “Silence!” He could not go far wrong with that.' Mr. Newrich was satisfied. He Tyould be In evidence at the performance. The great day arrived and all went well until the curtain rose on the sec ond scene. From the wing strode Mr. Newrich. Holding up his hand, he uttered one word: “ ’Ush!”—London Answers. Thinking of Grandpa. , Right now is grandfather’s most troublesome time of the year.

Tn 1876 there was an overw helm ing Democratic m ajority in the House of B epresentatives andSam - uel J, R andall, of Pennsylvania, waB the Speaker. O n A p ril 3rd of that year, this D em ooratie H ouse under suspension of tl»e rules re quiring a two thirds vote, passed the following resolution w ithout a single dissenting vote from either the D em ocratieor B epublican side: Resolved, T h at th e P resident of the U nited States be requested to inform the H oubo if in h iso p in ion it is not incom patible w ith the public interest, w hether, since the 4th day of M arch, 1869, any exec utive acts, or duties, and if any what have beeu perform ed a t a distance from the seat of G overn ment established by law and for hot? long a period a t any one tim e, and in w bat p art of th e U nited States; also w hether any public necessity existed for such perform ance, and if so of w hat character; and how far the perform ance of such executive offices, acts, or duties a t such distance from the seat of G overnm ent established by law was in com pliance w ith the act oi Congress of th e 16th day of July, 1790. General G rant was P resident a t the tim e. H is health was far from satisfactory and he had ventured to spend a few weeks in the hot midsummer m onths a t Long Bia-ieh. ThisQ Jersey Coast re sort was then, as now, only a few hours ride.' from W ashington. There was uo telephone service thee, but th e rj w as. an excellent telegraph service and w ith a spec ial wire run into his ,Long B ranch liouse, P resident G rant was in close touch w ith W ashington all tbe time, and, in an em ergency, could have gotten th eie so quickly in person th at the possibility o f public business suffering from his absence was so rem ote as to seem quite negligible. None the lesss. ,Long B ranch was not the seat of governm ent' of the U nited States, and it was not the post of duty prescribed by law for the President of th e U nited StateB, There were then no pre cedents lor the P resident ot the U nited States being away from his post of d uty w hile Congress was in session and the im portant business of the country under- dis cuesion. T hat the Demoeriats and the Hepubiicans too, for th a t m at ter looked upon even thti brief so journ oi the President a t a near by resort as of questionable propriety } if not of actual illegality, is evi denced by the searching character of the resolution for w hich Demo crats and B epublicans alike, in the House of B epresentatives voted w ithout'a single dissenting voide. In the absence oi any express pio- vision in the C onstitution against a condition which, presum ably, the framers of the C onstitution did npt contemplate as am ong the possibil ities. the stern tope of all b u t rep rimand in which tbe resolution ad- dossed to G eneral G rant 'is eniin ciated shows how firm ly rooted was then t-he conviction th a t the post of duty of the.

JAPANESE EDITORS CALM ON SHANTUNG QUESTION. 1>okio.—The newspapers generally re treating calmly in their, editorial comment the various phases of the de- I late in the United States senate on 'he question of Shantung. The opin ion most widely advanced is that the I republican senators who are opposing I the provision in the peace treaty re- I lating to Shantung are using their ar- I ginnents against Japan m ostly for I political purposes. I After pointing out that it is Japan’s I intention to restore Shantung to I China and to conduct economic under- Itakings in Shantung jointly with the I Chinese, The Hochi Shimbun inter- Iprets the attitude of the republican !senators as being based on America’s Iiesire to achieve a world economic Iconauest including China, from-which- Ishe desires to oust Japan, economi- 1 cally.

High prices, the President told Con gress, were not justified by shortage of supply, either present of prospec tive, hut were created in many cases "artificially and deliberately” by “vi cious practices.’’ Retailers, he said, were responsible in large part for ex tortionate prices. Strikes, the -President warned the labor world, would only make m atters worse and those who sought to em ploy threats or coercion -were only "preparing their own destruction.” Leaders of organized labor, the Presi dent said, he was sure would present ly yield to second sober thought. "Illegal” and “crim inal” were the words the President used in charac terizing the methods by which some present day prices have been brought about. Present laws, he said, would be en ergetically employed to the limit to force out food hoards, and m eet the situation so far as possible, but to sup plem ent the existing statutes he spe cifically urged the following: Specific Recommendations. Licensing of all corporations - en gaged in interstate commerce, with specific regulations designed to se cure competitive selling and prevent “unconscionable profits” in the meth od of m arketing. Extension of the -food control act to peace tim es and the application of its provisions against hoarding to fuel, clothing and other necesities of iife as well, as food. A --penalty in the food control act for profiteering. A law regulating cold storage, lim iting ;the time during which goods m ay be held, prescribing a method of disposing of them if h e ld ‘beyond , the perm itted period and requiring that when released goods bear the date of storage. Laws requiring that goods released from storage for interstate commerce bear-the selling prices a t which they w ent into storage and requiring that all goods destined for interstate com m erce-hear the prices at which they left the hands of the producer. Enactm ent of the pending bill for the control of security issues. Additional appropriations ' for gov ernm ent agencies which can supply the public w ith full'inform ation as to prices at which retailers buy. Early ratification of the peace treaty so that the “free'processes of supply and demand”- can operate. Immediate Steps Promised. Immediate steps by executive agea cies of the government promised by the. President included: The lim iting and controlling of w heat shipments and credit? to facili tate the purchase of wheat in such a way as not to raise, but rather - to lower the price of flour at home. Sale of surplus stocks of food and clothing in the hands of the govern m ent The forced withdrawal from storage and sale of surplus stocks in private hands. ' General Recommendations. General recommendations included: Increase of production. Careful buying by housewives.' Fail dealing with the people on the part of producers, middlemen and m erchants. That there be no threats and undue insistence upon the interests of a sin gle class. Correction of ^"many things” in the relation between capital and labor in respect to wages and-conditions of la bor.In concluding the President made a plea for deliberate, inteliigent action, reminding Congress that an unbal anced world was looking to the United “We and jve alm ost alone;” he said, “now hold ^ e world steady. Upon, our steadfastness and. self possession depend the affairs of nations every where. It is in this suprem e'crisis— this crisis for all mankind—that Amer ica m ust prove her m etal.” ..

WHEAT LOSS IS TREMENDOUS Crops of Corn, Oats, Barley and Po« ' tatoes Also Show- an Appreciable Loss in Alm ost Every Section. W ashington. — W ith living - costs soaring, the nation's principal food crops showed sharp decreases during July, resulting from drouths and pests over much of the growing, area. - W heat production fell off 221,000,-! OOO bushels during the month, accord ing to the forecast of the depart&ent of agriculture; corn-showed a reduc tion of 27.000,000 bushels; oats 137,- 000,000 bushels; barley 27,000,000 bushels and white, potatoes 34,000^000 bushels. Rice alone of all the crops- showed an increase. C Total production of w heat was fore cast at 940,000,000 bushels, but this was an increase of 23,000,000 bushels over the forecast last December I and 149.000.000. bushels over the five-year average from 1913 to 1918. ■ Winter-- wheat showed the greatest loss with 124.000.000 busfiels, with spring wheat production showing a decline of 97,- 000,000 bushels. PLUMB CALMLY TALKS OF A* REVOLUTION AS ALTERNATIVE W ashington.—All day long fro.m a witness chair before the house inter state commerce-committee, Glenn E. Plumb, counsel for the railroad broth erhoods and author of organized la bor’s plan for tri-partite control of the railroads, responded to sharp ques tioning from Uie semi-circle of com m ittee members who called on him to explain every phase of the labor bill. Gravely, Plumb talked of revolu tion as an alternative in case the adop tion of “some* such plan” was not ob tained by political action . through Congress, and said that was the de term ination of the masses of men whom he represented, “though I hope never to live to see the day.” The Income of the Plumb plan league, organized to forward the la bor bill’s passage,- he said, was “in the neighborhood of $100,000' or $125,- 000 annually now,” though only or ganized in July. W ashington.—Organized labor came out with the unequivocal formal de mand that private capital be retired from the railroads. - A . tri-partite control composed of the public, the operating manage m ent and the employes is demanded instead. • . . Addressed to the American public and signed by the engineers, the firie- men, the conductors and the ' Ameri- can Federation of Labor, a formal statem ent was issued announcing this proposal. - “It m arks,” says the statem ent, "the step by which organized labor passes from demands for wage increases to demands that the system of profits in industry be overhauled.” . This sentence sums up in a few words the proposals of which there have been hints and- indications, but which is now laid before the country for the first time. Everywhere In of ficial W ashington it is recognized as the -most serious and far-reaching proposition the country will be called on to face. Characterizing the proposal as “la bor’s bill,” it is put forth as a remedy for the high cost of living, because, the railroads are the key industry of the nation. It demands the “genuine co-operation and partnership based on a real community interest and partici pation in control,” of which President W ilson spoke to Congress, and which the statem ent says has been ignored by. labor and the private owners of the railroads. W ashington.—B. M. Jewell, acting president of the railway division of the American Federation of LaboT said that all railroad employees wer% op posed to the proposal made to the president by Director General Hines that congress constitute a committee to pass on questions of wage increases for the men. He said this process would, be too slow and because of the rising cost of living speedy relief was neccessary. COMMITTEE OF CONGRESS WILL PROBE fNTO MEXICAN MATTER. W asington.—Blanket authority to bring out all Oie facts about Mexican outrages on Americans and American property, and to formulate a remedial program, was given to the foreign re lations committee by the senate. W ithout debate and by unanimous vote a resolution directing the inquiry was adopted after its provisions had been stiffened in committee so as to make subject to investigation “any and all acts of the governments of Mexico and its citizens In derogation of the rights of the United States or of its citizens.” WAR DEPARTMENT ISSUES , PRICE LIST OF SUPPLIE8. W asington.—The w ar departm ent made public a complete price list on all subsistence stores available for sale to the public through the parcels post , or through municipal selling agencies. Costs of the commodities to the governm ent the departm ent said, ■had been disregarded entirely in fix ing the prices'of sale which are ma terially lower than prevailing m arket The prices quoted are f. o. b ., and from storage points in each of the 13 districts into which the country is di vided for w ar departm ent subsistence purposes. The departm ent now is re distributing the food supplies in the 13 areas in order that each may have its proportion" per population of the 72 articles offered for public sale. SOLUTION OF THRACIAN PROBLEM IS REACHED. ' Paris.—The peace conference reach ed a 'solution-of the Thracian problem according to The Intransigent, by AIyMing-Thrace, some going to Greece and others being designated to form the future free state state of Constan tinople and a new. free state under the league. of nations. The solution arrived at, according to The Intrahsigeant, provides for divid ing Thrace into eastern and western Thrace.

I wasn’t going to be ousted, I, who had been one of the discoverers. I don’t know how much Oarson paid Louis, but I m eant to*<lemand half. I thought he had the money Iii his pocket. “I followed him all that afternoon after he had left Carson’s office. I watched him In the street. At night he went to a room somewhere—at the top of a tall building. I followed him. When I got In I found a woman there. Louis was talking to her and threaten in g her. He said she was his wife. How could she be his wife when he had married Jacgueline Duchalne? “I didn’t care—it was no business of mine. I couldn’t see them, because there was a curtain in the way. There was no light In the bedroom. There was a light in the room in which I was. I put it out, so that neither of them should see my face. She might have betrayed me, you know, Simon. “He spun round when the light went out, and pushed the curtain aside.' I ■was waiting for that, I had -calculated my blow. I stabbed him. It was a good blow, though it was delivered In the dark. He only cried out oiice. But the woman screamed, and a dog flew at me, and I couldn’t find his money. So I ran away. “And then there were only three of us who knew the seeret. Then Simon died and there were only two, and now there are only Hewlett and I, and he. is dead, poor fool, and I have my gold here. For God’s sake give me a knife, Simon!” His fingers tore a t my sleeve In hts last agony, and/I was tempted sorely. And It was his own knife that I had. The irony of it I H e m uttered once or twice and cried out'in fear of the man whom he had slain. I heard him gasp a little later. Then the .hand fell from my sleeve. And after that there was no further sound. * * * * * . * “Paul!” It was the merest whisper from the wail. I thought it was a trick of my own mind. I dared‘not hope. “Paul t Dearest!” This was no fancy born of a de lirious brain and the thick fumes of dynamite. It came from the wall a little way ahead of me. I crawled the three feet that the little cave' afforded and put my hands upon the rock, feel ing Its surface inch by inch. There ■was a crevice there, not large enough to have permitted a bird to pass—the m erest fissure. “Ja-cqueline! Is that you, dear?” I called. “You are not hurt, Jacqueline?” “I am lying where you left me, dear. Paul, I - I heard.” *Tou heard?” I answered dully. W hat did it m atter now? “Why didn’t you tell me, Paul? But never mind. I am so glad, dearest! Can you come through to me?” I struggled to tear the rocks away; I beat and bruised my hands in vain against them. “I will come when It grows light, Jacqueline,” I babbled. “When It •grows light I” . She did not know that it would never grow light for me. Again I flung my self against the walls of my prison^ battering at them till the blood dripped from my hands. Again and again I flung myself down hopelessly, and then I tried again, clutching at every fragment that protruded into the cave. And a t last, when my despair had m astered me—It grew light. For a sunbeam shot like a finger through the crevice and quivered upon the floor of the cave. And overhead,- where I had never thought to seek, where I had thought three hundred feet of eternal rock pressed down on me, I saw the quiver of day through half a dozen feet of tight-packed debris from, the glacier’s movih. I raised fbyself and tore a t it and sent it flying. I tbv ust my hands among the stones and tore them down like the tiles from a rotten roof. I heard a shout; hands were reached down to me and pulled me up-, and I was on my feet upon a hillside, look ing Into the keen eyes of Pere Antoine • and the face of the Indian squaw. And. the Eskimo dog was barking at m y side. Only one thing marred the happi ness of our reunion, and that was the loss’ of Jacqueline's father. x We had talked much over what had happened, and ten days later, 'when Jacqueline had recovered from the sho.ck and from what proved to be, after all, only a flesh-wound, we had ■visited' the scene of our rescue by the old priest. The charge of dynamite which La* crois had set exploded, as It. happened, .beneath that part which buttressed the entire structure, and combining with the pressure of the glacier above,, had thrown the mountain on its sld«s, flll- ' ing the: lake with several million tons of Ice and obilteratlng'aU traces (jf the •Chateau, which lay buried beneath its V oters. '. v • 'j: "" • /V ■ That - was Pere . Antoine’s .explana tion, and we. realized at''oiice that It •was useless to search for-Charles Du- CoPTTlKht, W. a. Chapman chalne. The whole aspect of the re gion had been changed; there was neither glacier nor cataract, and the lake, swollen to twice Its size and height, slept peacefully beneath Its covering of ice and snow. ****** When we returned to the cabin we were amazed to see a sleigh standing outside, and dogs feeding. Two men were seated a t the priest’s table, smoking. “Diable, monsieur, don’t yon keep a stove In your house?” shouted a well- known -voice to Pere Antoine. Then, as Jacqueline and I approached the entrance, the man turned and sprang toward us with outstretched hands that gripped ours and wrung them till we cried out In pain. It was Alfred Dubois. B ut I was stupefied to see the sec ond man who rose and advanced to ward me with a shrewd smile. For It was Tom Carson! Presently I was telling my story— except for that part which more; In timately concerned myself and Jacque- The Eskimo Dog W as Barking a t My Side. line, and the narrative of the murder, which I gave only as Lacroix had con fessed it to me. A look of incredulity deepened on Tom’s shrewd old face till, a t the end, he burst out explosively a t m e: “Hewlett, I didn't think I was a d— fool before—I beg your pardon, miss. If any man had told me that I would have knocked him down. But I am, I am, and I want you to be my mana- ger.” , - “Do you mean that I have lied to you?” I asked indigantly. “Every word, Hewlett—every worn,': my son. That is why I w ant you bafck with me. First you leave my employ m ent without offering any reason; then you take hold of my business Af fairs and try to pull off n leal over my head, and then yon '.oil me a yarn about a castle falli « into a lake.” “But, M. Carson,” interposed the priest, “I n-.yself have seen this cha teau manv times. And I have gone to the entrance and looked from the mount'Jn, too, and it Is no longer there.' - - “Never was,” said Carson. “Ton feilows get so lonesome up In these wilds that you have to see things. This man, d’Epernay, who is said to be dead now, wanted to sell me the biggest gold mine in the world for fifty thou sand dollars, and from w hat I know of Leroux I am ready to believe th at he would try to hog it if it really exists.” “But how- about Leroux?” I cried, more amused now than vexed. “That,” answered Tom, ”Is pre cisely why I want to get hold of you again, Mr. Hewlett.’’ “But herd is Mile. D uchaine!” shouted the old priest In despair. Tom Carson raised his fat old body about five inches and made Jacqueline w hat he took to be a bow. “Pleased to m ake your acquaint ance, miss,” he replied. “Ah, well, it doesn’t m atter. I guess, that man, d’Epernay, was lying to me. However, I am ready to look a t your gold mine if you want me to.* “You’ll have* to do some blasting then,” I said, nettled. “It’s just about two hundred feet below the ground.” “Never mind,” said Tom. “Lumbers is better than gold. Next tim e Pm here I shall be glad to have another look round. And now, Hewlett, l f you w ant a job a t five thousand a year to start—to start, mind you, you play fair and tell me where Leroux is hiding himself.” I was too mortified to answer him. B ut I felt Jacqueline slip her hand into mine, and suddenly the memory of the past made Tom’s raillery an insignifi cant affair. “Mind you,” he pursued, “he’ll turn up soon. H e’s got to turn up, because the lumber company’s all organized now and in fine running order. W hat do you say, Hewlett?" , “Nothing,” I answered. “All -right,’’ he said, turning away with a shrug of his shoulders. “Un practical as ever, ain’t you? Think it over, my son. Glad to have m et you, Mr. Priest, and as Tm always busy I guess Dubois and I will start for home this afternoon.” "Messieurs,” said the p riest “do you know w hat day this is?” Tom started. “Why, good Lord, it —it’s Christmas day, Isn’t it?” he asked, a little sheepishly. “It’s a bigger day for us,” I said to Tom. H e squinted a t me In his shrewd m anner; and then he got up from the table and wrung my hand. “Good Iudt to you both,” he said. “Say, Mr. Dubois, I guess we can pitch our tent here tonight-don’t you?" Alfred Dubois was grappling w ith our hands again; but h>3 onset was less ferocious, because he had to-loose us every now and then to slap me on the back and blow his nose. .. “H only la petite Madeleine could be h ere!” he shouted.. And I am sure that was hi? dinner voice I heard. [THE END.] Chinese Fond of Firew orks Ch Jia invented gunpowder and pop- ul-.iized firecrackers.

I ‘U - CHARLOTTE, NO. 33-1911 Offers Problems That Do Not Bother the Farmer Who Usel Horse-Drawn Implements. ELIMINATE WASTE OF IW E Necessary to Lay Out Fields So That High-Class Job Can Be Done__ Short Turns Are Awkward— Advantages Summarized. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Plowing with tractors presents some problems that never bother the man who uses horse-drawn implements. It Is necessary to lay out fields, so that a high-class job of plowing can be done over the entire area with the minimum .use of a horse-drawn plow In start ing and finishing the work. The meth ods in general use are divided into two classes—those In which the plows are elevated and no plowing is done across the ends, and those In which the plows are left In the ground con tinuously. In most cases better plow ing can be done when the plows are idle across the ends of the fields, and for this reason the methods of this class are more popular, but many farmers prefer the other methods, as they eliminate waste of time and la bor. ' Plowmen using’tractors wish to re duce to a minimum the time spent Ir. running with plows out of the ground. W hile it Is necessary to do some traveling while the plows are idle, care should be taken not to, do I too much of it, as it reduces the num- 1 ber of acres which can be plowed In • a day, making the tractor that much ' less efficient. Short turns, however, are ■ awkward for most tractors, and where such turns are necessary the operator often has more or less difficulty in getting the outfit in the correct posi tion for starting into the new furrow a t the right point. Some tractors turn more easily in one direction than oth ers, and this should be taken into, con sideration in laying out the fields. Advantages Summarized. The advantages of plowing by the methods in which the plows are idle across the ends of the fields are that the short, awkward turns are elim inated, except In some cases a t the be ginning and ends of the lands, and usually, less spaces will be left a t the corners to be plowed with horses. The advantage of the other methods are that little or no tim e is lost In trav- DESTROYING PRAIRIE D 06S TO SAVE CROPS Organized Operations Conducts VinNewMexIoo. Nearly 5,000 Land Owners Took. Active Part In Work—Cost for Treatment of Range Land Less Than 4 Cents an Acre. (Prepared, by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) . Organized poisoning operations were extended over 1,231,297 prairie-dog-in fested acres in-New Mexico last year under the co-operative w ar measure work of the biological survey of the United States department of agricul ture, the New Mexico state council of defense, and the extension service of the New Mexico college of agricul ture. This included the protection of 212,992 acres- of crops In all parts of the state, nearly 5,000 land owners tak ing active part In the work. The ex penditures of the federal and state gov ernments and of co-operators totaled less than $60,000. The actual cost for the treatm ent of range land was less than 4 cents an acre. If average crop returns In New Mexico be placed as low as $20 an acre, the saving In crops alone for this one season is approxi mately $500,000. To this should be New Mexico Practiced Poison Control on 1,231,297 Acres Against Prairie D ogs. Last Year. , added the benefit from the destruction of prairie dogs on over a million acres of range and the consequent increased value in crops and forage for seasons to come. Better organization will re sult from the experiences of last year,' and the biological survey and the au thorities in New Mexico are in a po sition to push much more vigorously the work of clearing the state of prairie dogs. Economy and effective ness have been increased through re cent improvements in poisoning meth ods and, with the help of legislative measures and the hearty co-operation of all ranchmen, it is hoped that the prairie dog will be entirely eradicated before many years.

In using the first-named methods It is necessary to mensure Jh e lands in the center of the field accurately, leav ing an equal area on all sides of the field, in which to turn the outfit, and which can be plowed last by running the tractor completely around the field several times. If one end of the, field is unfenced th e ' outfit can be pulled out into a road or lane, or an adjoin ing field, for turning. It m ay be preferable to plow up to the fence on the two sides as the body of the field is being plowed, and leave the head land only across the end of the field which is fenced. The- width of the headland will depend largely on the turning radius of the tractor. With easily handled outfits it. is not neces sary to leave more than 15 or 20 fe e t Careful Plowing Saves Time. If the field is to be finished up In the best manner, with no Irregular, un plowed strips between the land or at tlie edges, it" Is essential th a t care be taken to have the headland of the same .width clear around the field, to have the distances measured exactly when starting new lands, and to have the first furrows as nearly straight as possible. A little extra time taken In m easuring oft the necessary distances and setting plenty of stakes" for guid ance will nearly always be more than returned In saving time at the finish. If the tractor pulls three or more plows/ cutting a total width of three or more feet, some effort should be made to have the width o f the headlands an exact multiple of the total width of the plow, so that the last strip across the field w ill-exactly cut out the land or finish it to the fence.' This will •to away w lth'the necessity of making i trip across the' field.' probably over the plowed ground, to turn a narrow atrip which has been left unplowed. Grower Cannot Expect to Get Maxi mum Yields From Inferior Stock — Best Time at Harvest. (Prepared toy the United 'States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The custom Cf using as seed potatoes left from the previous .season’s crop, after having disposed of the best, must be discontinued if the present quality and yield of the crop is to be m aterial ly improved, say specialists of the Unif ied States department of agriculture. The grower cannot expect to get max imum yields from inferior seed stock any more than the dairyman can expect to*get maximum milk yields from scrub cows. The best tim e to select seed po tatoes, according to the specialists, is In the fall when the crop is-being har vested. Then the yield of the indi vidual plant and the quality of the tu bers can be considered. Good seed is pure, in respect to the variety; is produced by healthy, vigor ous, heavy-yielding plants grown un der favorable climatic conditions; is somewhat im m ature; reasonably uni form In size and shape; firm and sound. The first sprouts should begin to de velop a t planting time. STERILIZATION IS NECESSARY W ashing of Dairy Utensils by Process Ordinarily Used Is Not Always Sufficient (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture;) Sterilization of dairy utensils is nec essary for the production of dairy prod ucts of high quality, particularly milk and cream, because the washing of dairy utensils, a t least by the process ordinarily used, is not sufficient to in sure freedom from infection and con tamination.

Ethnologists pretty well agree that the Gipsies are descendants of an obscure Hindoo tribe. T hepopularbeliefthat Glpsies are descendants of the Egyptians hns no other basis than the similarity ■ of the two words. The word “Gipsy” as a m atter of fact, is from the Bohemian, and means “vagabond.” The first Gip sies appeared in England early In the sixteenth century, but were found In eastern EIurope a t least two centuries earlier. They are now scattered all over the world. World’s Highest Peaks. The highest mountain, peak In North America is Mt.

Ii Toii hesD a Medicine Tm Should Haie the Besl Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that .so many products that are ex tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason' is plain—the article did-not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended, by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says “Take for example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re sults, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so. large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills al most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri- naiy troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a' sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer A Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

HELPFUL HINTS. To the average cook with little im agination and less ingenuity a bowl _ _ _ _ _ _ of chicken broth, a half- CgS3KS3R dozen cold boiled potn- toes, a cupful of tomato, a wedge of cheese will I flPPear'11,ce “the PritnBn T l rose, upon the river’s f t .jg L w j brim, a simple primrose fcflfKggjffij It -was to him, and it was Ib s b O s nothing more." It Is neither possible nor is it wise to carry a large number of recipes or proportions of ingredients In one’s mind, but the efficient woman will have a card index, a notebook or a chart on which she notes the possibilities of va rious small amounts of m aterials which In othor homes are thrown out. left to spoil or are used carelessly Sn foods so that their charm of flavor Is lost. The pleasant thing about this system is that it is always growing, new dishes will occur to one and the list will grow. Then when going to the ice chest and finding a bowl of chicken broth, visions of all the savory dishes which. may be seasoned with that sa vory food will be realized In some good dish, as it takes but a moment to turn, to the recipe. Another helpful convenience of the card catalogue idea is to have the sys tem carried out in other ways In the household. Under linens put cards labeled “bed linen,” on the card num bers of sheets, pillowslips, size and where they are. This is not only a convenience when absent to pass on, but in case of fire loss to give a cor rect inventory.'' Attached to the medicine closet should be a card always where it can be found at once, especially where there are many little people, giving first aids in case of accident and'an tidotes for common poisons. The old er children should be taught how to use this knowledge, as often lives-are lost because nobody knew what to do quickly. It is a frequently noted fact that the people who know what" to do or where to go to find out, rarely take time' to go into hysterics In an emer gency; they are too busy doing things. Start a card catalogue house and see what a pleasure it is to be' method ical. It is not necessary to have an expensive filing cabinet. Tender slices of chilled lobby’?

The danger tnat faces most young people who go away to school and, a9 the saying goes, get an education j8 this, they, along w ith the educa- tiou, acquire habits of living th at are expensive. W hen the real tag of life begins it is then hard, to get together enough money to keep up the stauilard of Iiving acquired while at college. T he result is that often a period of years follows that is anything lu t eatisfaetgry. and this tug continues u ntil the adjustment is m ade and it is Iearng ed( in the hard school . of expert, ence, that one must, m anage some vniy to live w ithin one’s income. Jinny f°n(l parents in a town give their daughters such a good time, during their girlhood days, that they must later go through a 6chool of poverty and hum iliation all because they are not able to live within their income, once the b at tle of life is on. Thereis danger ahead in 'this section today because of the pros, perity wave th at is on. O ur -peo ple right here in S urry are getting rich at a rate th at is hardly think* able. There are as m any asf a thousand autom obiles in the conn ty, and the money invested in them is more than all the money th a t was in the county ten years ago. Aod yet the bank deposits of the county are greater today than in in any other year of o u t history. There are more goods in the stores of the county, m ore good horses and mules, more good homes being built and more wagons and bng. gies in the country districts. There is no disputing the ‘ fact th a t our people are prd^gering aB ^never- be fore. Along w ith this prosperity is coming into the lives of the people a new style of living. T hey tell us that the people in th e . rural districts are acquiring the h ab it .oi udog cold drinks even more . than the town people. T he country girls are as wide aw ake to the Btyles and fashions, as the girls of the city, ^the young m en in the country know a fine Bhoe or a good cigar as well as the Bpprt in the towns. The father in the country iB just as anxious to see his\daugh ter go to college and his son get into some profession as the citizen who lives in town and owns the big store. ATow all this is well and good, In a way. M anya m an has ac cumulated a nice home and a sur plus to tide him over the declining days. A nd then he has seen the extravagance of his fam ily grow to a point where it was necessary to place a little m ortgage on the, farm, and later increase it, and ^ater lose the accum ulations of a lifetime. Prosperty is all right, we are glad it is here, and it will continue but no one can deny the fact th a t any man can acquire habits of liv ing that are not in keeping w ith his income. T hat is the danger, with this country today. I t is all 1Ight to patronize the Coca Cola counter and the millinery, store and the cigar stand, b u t ‘ it is all wrong to allow ones incom e' to not' keep in adjustm ent w ith-the outgo.

I t haB been a light set upon a hill; it has been an inspiration to hundreds of m il lions in other lands, and its power for good is beyond the ability of words to express. . By m aintaining its independence of entangling alliances it has bean able to throw its influerce' for good upoii every great world ques tion to far greater effect than if it had been tied up w ith any E uro pean or A eiatic com bination.

Ig av eth eh o tel porter fifty centsand told him to buy me a bot tle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy and to take no substitute.

Labor is af ter Iiim and; the Republicans are rasping him on ieyery occasion, while the Democrats seem disposed to* join in the pastime. Of course, he has done many things the public not al together approve, But there is noth ing to show that he is either a knave, an incompetent misfit or a pickpock et, each of which, derelictions are being- charged against him by the various and sundry personal, and po litical enemies he has somehow been able to acquire. The latest verbal walloping’ given him was administered by represen tative Gallivan, democrat, of Mass achusetts, who is quite sure that Mr. Burleson has been guilty of every thing'short of theft and m urder. In the course of his rem arks, however, we are sure that he did Mr. Burle son a great injustice when he insin uated that the post-master general was in some way responsible for the unhappy condition of w hat he called his "dear, ,old dying democratic party.” W hatever may have been the derelictions, whatever may be the shortcomings and the deficiencies of Mr. Burleson, he is not responsi ble for the “ dying condition” of the democratic party, and it is both cruel and untrue to . charge him with it. The democratic party is dying for w ant of spiritual nourish ment; it-is dying because it has a- bandoned the things that gave it Iifeand character and because it has ceased to be the party of the people standing upon the principle of civil liberty as the rock of it$ foundation. It has surrendered to classism and bartered its “ birth right’'f o r “ a- mess of opportune piftSage; It 6otiid~ survive Biirle:' son, but it cannot, survive its loss of principles and its surrender of con science.—Chattanooga Times.

Gen. Marcli has testified that over a million pounds of ham and bacon went to rot in the government stores that m ight have been sold to home consumers. But inattention on the part of tlie- quarterm aster corps, food was allowed to rem ain in the goveirnment stores, where it deter iorated, and much of it went to waste. V Doubtless.there was much of oth er food th a t suffered on account 'of inattention and inexcusable delay, becoming unfit for human food. Had it been,properly cared for and disposed of ais soon as it was seon it would not be.needed by the armies, Americans would not now be having to pay higher prices for food and for clothing than ever before in the life of the country. •- It seems as-if those in authority lost all sight' of w hat should have been done at home, keeping the eyes of their minds on Paris, from the time the President moved his office away from .

The News m an had the pleasure of m eeting, two happy children In th e court square yesterday. The reason they were happy is the fact th at six m onths ago they were practically blind—to all intents and purposes they were blind. . The girl is now 16 years of age and can see to thread, a needle. She said th at before D r. SpeaB be gan to treat her eyes she could not ses the w hite cow of her fathers and when Bhe was out in the yard she would run against the cow be fore she Would be able to locate her. The girl’s- nam e is Josie Shook and her brother’s nam e is Boy Shook. The News man asked the boy about his sight before the Doctor began his work. H e said he was practically blind and showed us his t-oes an illustration of w hat he had run against in the days of darkness through which he passed-a happy boy I should Bay, he is happy th at he can now see the rocks in the road and not stum p his toes as in the past. D r. Speas is a physician who has made a specialty of the diseases of the eye. H e is not one of the “ Bye D octors” who goes off a few weeks andcom es back w ith a title of “ D r” but took years of study to prepare him self for the work be is now do ing. H e perform ed a very delicate operation on the eyes ol both these childreu'aud. has since given them careful treatm ent and you only need Beethe children and talk w ith them as the w riter did to know som ething of the blessing, and- joy th at haB come into the lives of these children. The county commission- err and D r. Shipp are to be coin: mended very highly for w hat they did in placing these children, uiider the care ol D r. Speas. The children could not tell much about how is was done but like the Ulind inan healed by the M aster, they could say “ W hereas ! ,was blind, now I see.” — Gatanba County News. : The Best Physic.

This seems to be the consensus of opinion th at the road advocates and those who m ake a study of road conditions are ccming to. An a m atter, of fact the road builders have done a lot of exper im enting in the. past. The experi menting hae often proven costly, bu t'th e taxpayer so far haa always been on hand to m eet the folly and often extravagance and meet any deficiency th at existed as a result of those experim ents. A t one tim e macadam roads were supposed to offer the-solution and every coun Sy spent large sumS in constructing these rock bedded roads, later, to find that their life tim e was very Short and their,repair hard; Then sandv clay fpok the run and was ac cepted as the road throughout this gectfon. .Thei sand clay road is all right and Serves its purpose when properly c£rgd for. . . B ut, a t best, it is only a tem po rary affair and unless unceasing diligence and labor is expended on its upkeep the county soon re alizes th at their sand clay roads no longer exist. U nfortunately many counties, ancFit m ust be ad m itted, this-county is among this class, have never found or adopted the eorrect system of these roads. Perhaps the cause of a lack of proper system is due to a lack of funds. AU available funds-have been expended,on construction and the man responsible for' the u p keep, which is the most im portant part, is forced to work on a fund basis th at will not perm it him ' to do more than adopt a system th at a t .best is.only-a m ake-shift affair/ ready it is recognized the sand clay oi tem porary road faces will not stand the pressure of this pres ent day wear and tear. Ten years ago where one farm er I'drove to town, there are today one hnn dred farm ers and their families motor over these same roads. They not only come one day in a week, but perhapB several days. The tourist no longer travelB on the train, but every day sees m any of these*high powered cars weaving their way Iron/one section' of the country to the other. The strain on the road faee is terrific. The sand clay road, all right during its day. will no longer answer the de mand th at is made on our high ways today. It is now hard-sur faced roads that m ust be built. Tbe first- COBt will be big, b u t the upkeep should prove IesB.

THERE ARE SEVERAL OPTIONS Laughing Suggestion Made that Lodge and Knox be Appointed to A ssist in Negotiating New Treaty. Washington.—How far President Wilson may go In his fight for un qualified senate acceptance of the peace treaty is a subject of Increas ing speculation In official and diplo matic circles. Summed up, these discussions con template that he might take up 'the question of changes in the tre a t/ by diplomatic correspondence; return to Paris and ask that the peace confer ence be reassembled for negotiation of a new treaty; send a new delega tion to reopen negotiations; or pocket the treaty and refuse to proceed fur ther unless the senate recede from its position. The possibility of Mr. W ilson's re turn to Paris to straighten out the points raised by any senate qualifi cations is one which some, senators say would be entirely in line with his course thus far in the peace settle ment. To send an entirely new set of peace delegates also would be admittedly within the President’s power, and m that connection republican senators frequently have mentioned Senator Hitchcock’s statem ent that the Presi dent laughingly suggested Senators Lodge and Knox as possible selections to negotiate a new treaty should the present one be amended. That the President might permit the negotiations to stand in a dead lock by declining to take up with other governments any changes sug gested -by the senate involves perhaps the most interesting possibilities oi all. OBREGON c a n d id a t e f o r PRESIDENT OF MEXICO. Mexico City.—General Alvaro Obre gon, who is a candidate for the pres idency sent the following telegram to President Carranza: “Although I have plenty of confi dence that the government of which you are in charge will find m ost ade quate means of surm ounting the dif ficult international s’tuation through which we are now passing, I am proud to tell you that in the very remote contingency under which this situa tion might not reach a satisfactory conclusion,. I would be happy to give ray modest forces in helping our government In any place that I m ight be used.” PROFITEERS IN BRITAIN ARE FACING ROCKY ROAD. •London.—The British campaign to defeat profiteers received new impe tus when hundreds of people from the surrounding districts poured into Oxford to purchase from the street market organized by the trade and la bor councils.

M ajor Amberson had “m ade.a for tune" in 1873, when other people were losing fortunes, and the magnificence of the Ambersons began then. Their splendor lasted all the years that saw their Midland town spread and darken into a city, but reached its topmost during the period when every prosper ous family with children kept a New foundland dog. In that town In those days all the women who wore silk or velvet knew all the other women who wore silk or velvet, and when there was a new purchase of sealskin sick people were got to windows to see it go by. Every body knew everybody else's family horse and carriage, conld identify such a silhouette half a mile down the street, and thereby was sure who was going to m arket or to a reception or coming home from office or store to noon dinner or evening supper. During the earlier, years of this pe riod elegance of personal appearance was believed to rest more upon the texture of garments than upon their shaping. A silk-Cress needed no re modeling when it was a year or so old; It remained distinguished by merely remaining silk. Old men and gover nors wore broadcloth; “full dress” was broadcloth with “doeskin” trousers; and there were seen men of all ages to whom a hat m eant only that rigid, tall silt thing known to impudence as a “stovepipe.” In town and country these men would wear no other hat, and, without self-consciousness, they w ent rowing in such hats. Trousers with a crease were consid ered plebeian; the crease proved that the garment had lain upon a shelf, and hence was "ready made;” these be traying trousers were called “hand- me-downs,” in allusion to the shelf. In the early eighties, while bangs and bustles were having their way with women, that variation of dandy known as the “dude” was invented: he wore trousers as tight as stockings, dagger- pointed shoes, a spoon “derby,” a single-breasted coat called a “Chester field,” with short flaring skirts, a tor turing cylindrical collar, laundered to a polish and three inches high, while his other neckgear might be a heavy, puffed cravat or a tiny bow fit for a doll’s braids. W ith evening dress he wore a tan overcoat so short that his black coattails hung visible, five inches below the overcoat; but after a season or two he lengthened his overcoat till it touched his heels, and he passed out of his tight trousers into trousers like great bags. Then presently he was seen no more, though the word that had been coined for him remained in the vocabularies of the im pertinent Surely no more is needed to prove that so short a time ago we were liv ing in another age I At the beginning of the Ambersons’ great period most of the houses of the Midland town were of a pleasant ar chitecture. They lacked style, but also pretentiousness,. and whatever doe3 not pretend a t all has style enough. They stood In commodious yards, well shaded by leftover forest trees, elm and walnut and beech, with here and there a line of tall sycamores where the land had been made by filling bayous from the creek. The house of a “prominent resident,” facing Mili tary square or National avenue or Ten nessee street, was built of brick upon a 6tone foundation, Or of wood upon a brick foundation. Usually it had 'a “front porch" and a “back porch;” often a “side tforch,”. too. There was furniture was a little shabby, but the hostile chairs and sofa of the “parlor” always looked new. For all the wear and tear they got they should have lasted a thousand years. Upstairs were the bedrooms; “moth er and father’s room" the largest; a smaller room for one or two sons, another for one or two daughters; each of these rooms containing a double bed, a “washstand," a “bureau,” a wardrobe, a little table, a rocking chair, and often a chair or two that had been slightly damaged down stairs, but not enough to justify either the expense of repair or decisive abandonment in the attic. And there was always a “spare room," for visi tors (where the sewing machine usu ally was kept), and during the seven ties there developed an appreciation of the necessity for a bathroom. A t the rear of the house, upstairs, was a bleak little chamber, called “the girl’s room," and In the stable there wa3 another bedroom, adjoining the hayloft, and called “the hired mati’s room.” House and stable cost seven or eight thousand dollars to build, Ond people with that much money to invest in such comforts were classified as the Rich. They puid the inhabitant of “the girl’s room” two dollars a week, and, in the latter part of this period, two dollars and a half, and finally three dollars a week. She was Irish ordinarily, or German, or it might be Scandinavian, but never native to the land unless she happened to be a per son of color. The man or youth who lived In the stable had like wages, and sometimes, too, was lately a steerage voyager, but much oftener he was col ored. - A fter sunrise on pleasant mornings the alleys behind the stables were gay; laughter and shouting went up and down their dusty lengths, with a lively accompaniment of currycombs knock ing against back fences and stable walls, for the darkies loved to curry their horses In the alleys. Darkies always prefer to. gossip In shouts in-, stead of whispers, and they feel that profanity, hnless it be vociferous, is almost worthless. Horrible phrases were caught by early rising children and carried to older people for defini tion, sometimes a t inopportune -mo m ents; while less investigative chil dren would often merely repeat the phrases in some subsequent flurry of agitation, and yet bring about-conse quences so emphatic as to be recalled with ease in middle life. They have passed, those darky hired men of the Midland town. The stables have been transformed into other likenesses, or swept away, like the woodsheds. where were kept the stovewood and kindling that the “girl” and the “hired man”, always quarreled over: who should fetch it. So with other vanishing!. There were the little bunty street cars oh the long, single track that went ,Its troubled way among the cobblestones. A t the rear door of the car there was no platform, but a step w here passen gers clung In wet clumps when the weather was bad and the car crowded. The patrons—if not .too absent-minded —put their fares into a slot; and no conductor paced the heaving floor, but the driver would rap remlndlngly with his elbow upon the glass of the door to his little open platform if the nick els and the passengers did not appear to coincide in number. A’ lone mule drew the car, and sometimes drew it off the track, when the passengers would get out and push it on again. They really owed It courtesies like a “front ball:” there'w as a “side hall, I this, for the car was genially accom- and sometimes a “back hall.” From I m odatlng: a lady could whistle to it the "front hall’.’ opened three rooms, the “parlor,” the “sitting room” and the '-Ubrary ;" and the library could show w arrant to Its title—for some reason these people bought books. Commonly the family sat more In the Ubrarv than In the “sitting room," while callers, when they cam e' for- maUy, w r kept to the ■’parlor," a place Of iormldable polish-and discom fort. The upholstery.-of' the Ubrary from an upstairs window, and the car would halt a t once and w ait for her while she shut the window, put on her hat and cloak, went downstairs, found an umbrella,' told the “girl" what to have for dinner, and came forth from the- house. • T h ty , even had time to danCe “square dances,” quadrilles and “lan cers;” they also , danced the “nUs- quette” and schotttsches and polkda, and such' whims as the “Portland fancy.” They pushed back the sliding doors between the "parlor” and the "sitting room,tacked down crash over the carpets, hired a few palms in green tubs, stationed three or four Italian musicians under the stairw ay In the “front hall”—and had great nights I ‘!Keeping open house,” was a m erry custom; it has gone, like the all-day picnic in the woods, and like that pret tiest of all vanished customs, the sere nade. W hen a lively girl visited the town she did not long go unserenaded, though a visitor was not indeed needed to excuse a serenade. Of a. summer night young men would bring an or chestra under a pretty girl’s window— or, It might be, her father’s, or that of an ailing maiden aunt—and flute, harp, 'cello, cornet and bass viol would pleasantly release to the dulcet stars such melodies as sing through “You’ll Remember Me," "I Dream t That I Dwelt in M arble Halls,” “Silver Threads Among the Gold,” “Kathleen Mavoumeen,” or “The Soldier’s Fare well." Croquet and the m ildest archery ever known were the sports of people still young and active enough for so much exertion; middle age played euchre. There “was a theater, next door to the Amberson hotel, and when Edwin Booth came for a night every body who could afford to buy a ticket was there, and all the “hacks” in town were hired. “The Black Crook” also filled the theater, but the audience then was alm ost entirely of men, who looked uneasy as they left for home when the final curtain fell upon the shocking girls dressed as fairies. But the theater did not often do so well; the people of the town were still too thrifty. They were thrifty because they were the sons or grandsons of the “early settlers,” who had opened the wilder ness and had reached it from the E ast and the South with wagons and axes and guns, but w ith no money a t all. The pioneers were thrifty or they would have perished: they h a d . to store away, food for the winter, or goods to trade for food, and they often feared they had not stored enough—they left traces of. that fear In their sons and grandsons. In the minds of m ost of these, Indeed, their thrift was next to their religion: to save, even for the sake of saving, was their earliest lesson and discipline. No m atter how prosperous they were they could not spend money either upon “art,” or upon m ere luxury and enter tainment, without a sense of sin. Against so homespun a background the magnificence of the Ambersons was as conspicuous as a brass band a t a funeral. M ajor Amberson bought two hundred acres of land a t the end of National avenue; and through this tract he built broad streets and cross streets ; paved them With cedar block, and curbed them with stone. H esetup fountains, here and there, where the streets intersected, and a t symmetri cal intervals placed cast-iron statues, painted white, with their titles clear upon the pedestals; Minerva, Mer cury, Hercules, Venus, Gladiator, Em peror Augustus, Fisher Boy, Stag- hound, Mastiff, Greyhound, Fawn, Antelope, Wounded DOe and Wounded Dion. Most of the forest trees bad been left to flourish still, and, a t some distance, or by moonlight, the plnce was in truth beautiful; but the ardent "Sixty Thousand Dollars for the Wood work Alone.*’ I citizen, loving to see his city grow; wanted neither distance nor moon light. H e had not seen' Versailles, but, standing before the fountain of Neptune In Amberson addition, at bright noon, and quoting the favorite comparison of the local newspapers he declared Versailles outdone. AU this -A rt showed a profit from the start, for the. lots: sold well and there was something - like a rush - to build In the new Addition. ■ Its main thor oughfare, an oblique continuation of Natiohal avenue, was called Amber- son boulevard, and here, at the junc ture of the new boulevard and the avenue. M ajor Amberson reserved four acres for himself and built his new house—the Amberson mansion, of course. This house 'w as the pride of the town. Faced w ith stone as far back as the dining-room windows, it was a house of arches and turrets and gir dling stone porches: it had the first porte cochere seen in that town. There was a central “front hall” with a. great black-walnut stairway, and open to a green glass skylight called the "dome,” three stories above the ground floor. A ballroom occupied most of the third story, a n d . a t one end of it was carved a w alnut gallery for the musicians. Citizens told stran gers that the cost of all this black walnut and wood carving was sixty, thousand dollars. “Sixty thousand dollars for the woodwork alone I Yes, sir, and hardwood floors all over the house I Turkish rugs and no carpets at all, except a Brussels carpet In the front parlor—I hear they cnll It the 'reception room.’ H ot and cold w ater upstairs and down, and stationary washstands in every bedroom }n the place! Their sideboard’s built right into the house and goes all the way across one end of the dining room. It Isn’t walnut, it’s solid mahogany I Not veneering—solid mahogany I Well, sir, I presum e the president of the United States would be tickled to swap the W hite House for the new Amberson mansion, if the M ajor’d give him the chance—but by the Al mighty Dollar, you bet your sweet life the M ajor wouldn’t !” The visitor to the town was certain to receive further enlightenment, for there was one form of entertainm ent never om itted: he wns always patri. otically taken for "a little drive round our city,” even if his host had to hire a hack, and the climax of the display was the Amberson mansion. “Look at th at greenhouse they've put up there in the side yard,” the escort would continue. "And look a t that brick stable I Most folks would think th at stable plenty big enough and good enough to live in; it’s got run ning w ater and four rooms upstairs for two hired men and one of ’em’s family to live In. They keep one hired m an loafin’ in the house, and they got a m arried hired m an out in the stable, and his wife does the washing. This town never did see so much style as Ambersons are putting on theqe days; and I guess it’s going to be expensive, because a lot of other folks’ll try to keep up with ’em. The Major’s wife and the daughter’s been to Europe, and my wife tells m e since they got back they m ake tea there every after noon about five o’clock and drink it. Seems to me it would go against a person’s stomach, just before supper like that, and anyway tea isn’t fit for much—not unless you're sick or some thing. Looks to me like some people In this pity’d be willing to go crazy if they thought th at would help ’em to be as high-toned as Ambersons. Old Aleck Mlnafer—he’s about the closest old codger we got—he come in my of fice the other day, and he pretty near had a stroke tellin’ m e about his daughter Fanny. Seems Miss Isabel Amberson’s got some kind of a dog— they call it a Sb Bernard—and Fanny w as bound to have one, too. Well, old Aleck told her he didn’t like dbgs except ra t terriers, because a ra t ter rier cleans up the mice, but she kept on a t him, and finally he said all right she could have one. Then, by George I she says Amberson’s bought their dog, and you don’t get one without paying for i t : they cost from fifty to a hundred dollars , up! Old Aleck wanted to know if I ever beard of anybody’s buyiii’ a dqg .before, be cause, even a Newfoundland or a set ter, you can usually get somebody to give you one. H e says he saw some sense in payin’ a nigger a dime, or even a quarter, to drown a dog for you, but to pay out fifty dollars and maybe more—well, sir, he like to choked himself to death, right there in my office! Of course everybody realizes th at M ajor Amberson is a fine business man, but what with throwln’ money around for dogs, and every which and what, some think all this style’s bound to break him up, if his family don’t quit!” One citizen, having thus-discoursed to a visitor, came to a thoughtful pause, and then added,, “Does seem pretty much like squandering, yet when you see that dog- out walking w ith this Miss Isabel, he seems worth the money.” , , ' •“W hat’s -she look like?” “Well, sir,” said the citizen, “she’s not more than just about eighteen or maybe nineteen years old, and I don’t know as I know just how to put It— but she’s kind of a delightful lookin' young lady !” CHAPTER II. Another, citizen said an- eloquent thing about Mlss Isabel Amberson’s. looks. This- was Mrs. HehTy Franklin Foster, the foremost literary authority rand Intellectual leader of the com munity—for both the daily newspa pers thus described Mrs. Foster when she founded the Women’s Tennyson club; and her word upon art, letters and the dram a w as accepted more as law than as opinion. N aturally when “Hazel Kirke” finally reached town, after its long trium ph In larger places, many people waited to hear w hat Mrs. Henry Franklin Foster thought of it before they felt w arranted in ex pressing any estim ate of the play. In fact, some of them waited in the lobby of the theater as they came out and form ed an inquiring group about her. “I didn’t see the, play," she in form ed them. “W hat! Why, we saw you, right In the middle Of the fourth row I” “Yes,” she said, smiling, “but I was sitting ju st behind Isabel Amberson. I couldn’t look a t anything except her wavy brown hair and Ihe wonderful back of her neck.” T he ineligible young men of the town (they were all Ineligible) were unable to content themselves w ith the view that had so charmed Mrs. Henry. Franklin Foster; they spent their time struggling to keep Miss Amberson’s face turned toward them. She turned it most often, observers said, toward tw o: one excelling In the general struggle by his sparkle, and the other by that winning If not winsome old trait, persistence. The sparkling gen tlem an “led germans” with her, and sent sonnets to her w ith his bou quets—sonnets lacking neither music nor wit. H e was generous, poor, well- dressed, and his amazing persuasive ness was one reason why he was al ways in debt. No one doubted that he would be able to persuade Isabel, but he unfortunately joined too" m erry a party one night, and during a moon light serenade upon the lawn before the Amberson mansion, was easily identified . from the windows as the person who stepped through the bass viol and had to be assisted to a w ait ing carriage. One of Miss Amberson’s brothers was among the serennders, and when the party had dispersed re mained propped against the front door in a state of helpless liveliness; the M ajor going down in a dressing gown and slippers to bring him in, and scolding mildly, while imperfectly con cealing strong impulses to laughter. Miss Amberson' also laughed a t this brother the next day, but for the suitor it was a different m atter: she refused to see him when he called to apologize. “You seem to care a great deal about bass viols!” he wrote her. “I promise never to break another.” She m ade no response to the note, un less it was an answer, two weeks later, when her engagement was an nounced. She took the persistent one, W ilbur Minafer, no breaker of bass viols or of hearts, no serenader a t all. A few people, who always foresaw everything, claimed that they were not surprised, because though W ilbur Miri- afer “might not be an Apollo, as it were," he w as. “a Steady young busi ness m an and a good church goer,” and Isabel Anderson was “pretty sen sible—for such , a showy girl.” But the engagement astounded the young people, and m ost of their fathers and m others too; and as a topic It sup planted literature a t the next meet ing of the “Women’s Tennyson club.” ' “W ilbur M inafer!” a member cried, her inflection seeming to imply that W lbur’s crime was 'explained by his surname. “W ilbur M inafer! It’s the queerest thing I ever heard! To think, of her taking W ilbur Minafer, Just because a m an any woman would like a thousand trines better'w as a little wild one night a t a serenade t" “No, that 'wasn’t her reason,” said wise Mrs. H enry Franklin Foster. “If men only knew it—and it’s a good thing they don't—a woman doesn’t really care much ribout whether, a m an’s wild or not, if It doesn’t affect herself, and Isabel Amberson doesn't care a thing!” . 'iMrs. F oster!” “No, she" doesn’t W hat she m inds is his making a clown of himself In her front yard! 'I t m ade her think he didn’t care much about her. She’s probably mistaken, but that’s w hat she thinks, and it’s too late foir her to think anything else now, because she’s going to be m arried right away —the invitations' will be out next week. . It’ll be a big Amberson-style thing, raw oysters floating in scooped- OUtlMocks of Ice and a band from out of town—champagne, showy presents; a colossal present from the Major. Then; W ilbur will take Isabel on the carefulest little wedding trip he can manage, and she’ll be a good wife to him, but they’ll have-the w orst spoiled lot of children., this to w n . will ever see.”'1 “How on earth do you m ake that out, Mrs. Foster?” “She couldn’t love Wilbur, could she?” Mrs. Foster demanded, w ith no challengers. “Well, It will all go to her children, and srie’ll ruin ’em !” The prophetess proved to be mis taken in a single detail m erely: except for that her foresight was- accurate. Th.e wedding -was of Ambersonian magnificence, even to tl)e floating oy sters ; and the M ajor’s colossal pres ent was a set. of architect's designs for. a house .almost aaa ta b a rate and impressive as the Mansion, iu to be built in Amberson adi tlon? the Major. Q tl0n At midnight the bride was s«„ , Ing toasted to champagne, though had departed upon her wedding ney a t ten. Four days later thV S had returned to town, which pro* ness seemed fairly to demons^ that W ilbur had indeed taken 2 upon the carefulest little trip he manage. According to every fe Z she was from the start “a good S to him,” but here In a final detail th! prophecy proved inaccurate. Ivni11,, add Isabel did not have children- thM had only one. ’ ' "Only one,” Mrs. Henry Franklin Foster admitted. “But Pd like to “You Think You Own This Town!” know if he isn’t spoiled enough for a whole carload!” • Again she found none to challenge her. A t the age of nine George Amber son Minafer, the Major's one grand child, was a princely terror, dreaded not only in Amberson addition but in many other quarters through which he galloped on his white pony. “By golly, I guess you think you own this town!” an embittered laborer com plained one day, as Georgie rode the pony straight through a pile of sand the m an was sieving. “I will when I grow up,” the undisturbed child re plied. “I guess my grandpa owns It now, you bet!” And the baffled work man, having no means to controvert w hat seemed a mere exaggeration of the facts, could only mutter, “Ob, pull down your vest!” “Don’t haf to! Doctor says it ain’t healthy!” the boy,returned promptly. “B ut I tell you what I’ll do: I’ll poll down my vest if you’ll wipe off yo® chin I” This, was stock and stencil: the ac customed argot of street badinage of the period; and in such matters Geor- gie was an expert. He had no vest to pull down; the incongruous fact w as th at a fringed sash girdled juncture of his velvet blouse ana breeches, for the Fauntleroy penoa had set In, and Georgie’s mother had so poor an eye for appropriate tbi p. where GeorgIe was concerned she dressed him according to the trine of that school in boy de' or“ “; Except upon the surface not his own work but his moth GeorgIe both no vivid resemblnn the fabulous little Cedric.

REPORTS NOTTET CflM HfTE Auditing of Accounts of Large Firms Is Considerable Task—No Re fund to Growers Who Con signed Their Clips. (Prepared by the United States Depart* ment of Agriculture.) Collection of excess profits from wool dealers is proceeding, and their distribution to wool growers will be gin in the near future. This announce ment is made by the United States de-- partm ent of agriculture, which Is com pleting the work of the domestic wool section of the war industries board, in accordance with a provision of the agricultural appropriation bill. Reports thus far received show that excess profits were made by about 10 per cent of the “country" dealers. Cor respondence with “distributing center” dealers, whose total reports are not yet completed, indicate that some of them have accumulated substantial amounts of excess profits oa the wool which they actually bought Auditing of the accounts of the laxger dealers is a con siderable task and will require several months. The bureau of markets, which acts for the department of agriculture Medium and Finer Grades of Choice Wool Are in Keen' Demand. In this work, will enclose .with each check sent to a grower a circular letter giving the name of the firm which handled his wool and which has re turned the excess profits, <?f which the customer is receiving his share. No Refunds to Consigners. The department tails attention to the fact that the regulations of the w ar industries board did not permit the purchase of wool in the great wool growing states of the Kocky mountain and Pacific coast region except in the case of clips of less than 1,000 pounds each. AU larger clips were required to be consigned. This region produces about two-thirds of the entire wool clip of the country, which was about 257,000,000 pounds in 1918. Growers In the eastern states were urged to pool and consign their wools and many of them did so. Since the government paid the dealers a fixed commission on consigned wool, excess profits could be made only on that part of the wool which they bought outright. Therefore, growers who consigned their dips Should not expect to receive refunds. Since the government control of wool has ceased the work of the department of agriculture In this connection con sists only of auditing the records and accounts of approved wool dealers, th$ collection of any profits which they m ay have made in excess of those per m itted under the regulation of the w ar industries board, and the distri bution by the department of agricul ture of these profits directly to the growers upon whose wool the profits were made wherever the identity of the wool can be traced. Perm its Issued to Wool Dealers. , The w ar industries board issued per m its to about ‘3,500 “country” dealers authorizing them to buy wool directly from the grower. Perm its were also Issued to 179 “distributing center” dealers who had facilities for handling wool in large quantities and most of whom were located on the eastern sea board near the centers of wool manu facture. These larger dealers were re quired to handle wool on consignment from either growers or country dealers and were also-perm itted to buy from country dealers direct, or from growers through their agents. Blank forms calling for a detailed accounting have been sent by the de partm ent to both classes of dealers. Reports have been-received from about 3,000 of the country dealers and about one-halt of the dealers In distributing centers. The taking over of -the wool by the war department was completed so recently that many of . the larger dealers have been unable to prepare, their reports at an earlier date. The auditing of these reports Is proceeding as rapidly as It can be done with the limited force available; for assignment to this work, the department says.

POTATOES PROPERLY STORED FOR WINTER A pproxim ately O ne-T hird of C rop Is M arketed in Fail. Reserve Supply Must Be Protected From Extremes of Heat and Cold • rovide Sufficient Ventila tion and Avoid Moisture* , (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Potatoes properly stored should not sustain a loss throughout the winter season of more than 5 per cent, and under exceptionally good conditions not more than 3 or 4 per cent. The max imum return from the crop after it is produced depends on the care with which the potatoes are harvested, stored, graded, sacked, and the ability of the grower to sell a t the most ad vantageous time. Approximately one- third of the main potato crop is mar keted at harvest time, and the re mainder is stored as a reserve supply, for winter and spring. It Is physically Impossible, as well as economically un desirable, to attem pt to market the en tire crop in the autumn, and the only way In which potatoes can be handled successfully, so as to insure a uniform supply, is to provide sufficient storage on the farm or at the shipping station for from 65 to 75 per cent of the crop. Various types of storage places are now in use, ranging from pits or cheaply constructed dug-outs to large, substantially built storage houses. Plans for the construction of storage houses are given in the department’s Farm ers’ Bulletin 847. For successful storage, the tubers must be protected from extremes of cold and heat; a tem perature of from 35 to 40 degrees F. Is considered sat isfactory. SufGcIent ventilation must be provided to remove foul air and excessive moisture. The storage house must be so constructed as to make it possible to Exclude the light, as the table quality of potatoes quickly de teriorates in the light. The tubers should be dry and reason ably free from dirt when put into storage, an excess of moisture or soil Increases the amount of heat In newly stored potatoes. The soil tends to fill up the spaces between the tubers, thus cutting off air circulation, and helping to retain h e a t. that would otherwise escape. All diseased, badly cut; or bruised tubers should be removed from the crop before putting it into storage. It is a common practice for commer cial growers and shippers to store po tatoes In bins to a depth of 10 to 15 feet. This Is almost certain to entail a much heavier shrinkage loss than when stored to a depth of not more than 6 feet. The heavier shrinkage Is the result of the greater amount of heat generated by a large pile of potatoes, which results In a higher amount of moisture loss as w ill as a heavier loss from decay, as heat and moisture both help to develop organisms causing tuber rots. Frequently the losses sus tained when the potatoes are stored under these conditions reach 25 per cent, and where rigid care has not been exercised to remove all diseased tubers before storing the crop, the loss Is even greater. It is advisable, therefore, to pile the potatoes not greater than 5 or 6 feet deep, and the floor dimensions of the bln should not be greater than 12x 12 feet unless provided with a series of ventilating shafts or division walls for the escape of moisture and heat. RAISE RABBITS FOR PRO FITS Little Domestic'Animals Are Easy tc Handle and Remarkably Free From Disease. Rabbit raising on a backyard scale Is not an experiment. "Thousands of small rabbltries in this country arc producing meat crops regularly for family tables. These domestic ani mals are easily rhised and remarkably free from disease- when properly cared for. The Belgian hare Is one of the best rabbits for table use. It weighs more than most breeds, develops rapidly Female Plemish Giant. and the quality of the m jat is superior to all the others. The Flemish giam is a Belgian hare bred exclusively foi large size, with the result that the m eat is coarser and less delicate In flavor. These characteristics are con sidered by some persons as desirable*, but this is largely a m atter of individ ual taste.

Crystal gazing and the use of magic mirrors played an important part in religion and wizardry in. the past, and though almost every nation had S ts own method these did not vary as much as it would be supposed. Thus while Japan had in her Inner temples mirrors which only the priest saw, and which were always to reflect the good and the beautiful for the gods, the ancient Mexicans taught that their god Texcatllpuco had a magic mirror in which he saw every thing that happened each day In the world. A real obsidian mirror with Its strange textile string still attached Is In the British museum now and was used by the Aztecs and ancient Mexi cans for various purposes and very probably for crystal gazing. It Is much the same as the other crystals used by so-called “wizards," so far as Its shape is concerned. Even in recent years crystal gazing has been prac ticed, and It Is said by those who have tried It that the mirror or crystal- seems to disappear into a mist after it has been stared at In complete silence foi a great length of time, and then— if ever—the visions appear.
