American fanners broke produc­ tion', records in five crops this year. Moje corn, more-tobacco, more rice more sw.eet potatoes and more pears Ilave been grown this' year than ever before. In. addition the crops of oats, barley, rye, potatoes, apples, and hay closely approached the re­ cords. Every one of those crops can be eaten by man except tobac­ co and hay. Hay can be eaten by animals which can be eat.en later by man. • Tobacco is almost a food for a great many people. = . How did the .farmer do it? He must have had machinery.

I am happy to utter my gratitude; but I am not. exultant. It is hot a personal victory. It is a renewed expression: of confidence in Ahleri- canism and a national call to the Republican party.

I • This truth, invincible and Inexor- able, is that inflated, .artificial and insopportabie prices of abundant CommoditiesrCannot be stopped from falling toward the natural level?, Youjmight as well try to make the Niagara waters rush us the'falis in stead of down as to try. to .maintain war prices for prodigious stocks oi «0o3s when the cosuming public will not and cannot pay them. Copper or "steel, cotton or. com, sugar or leather, it makes no differ­ ence un3er.the laws of nature when the supply-is there to offer but the demand is not'there to take.' Either ah abundant supply must come down of its own accord in an orderly man­ ner’to find steady "and general dis tribiition.or it must besudcenly hurl­ ed down.of its own weight like flood biicstingout a dam in one rushing mass'of roin and loss. This is what-Searetary Houston meant when, referring- particulary to the farmers, he. said they were seeking releif "through measures some of which are not practical -and others of-which are suicidal. It is a bard thing that to raise their crcms now going to a market out of which the bottom is failing the farm- edfhadto pay top war prices for thgir machinery and suppleis and in­ ordinate wages for Ineflhieht IaborJ It-is a grievous thing that some of these^farQiers are hot now able to sell’their crops for what -it cost them underjsky high ,production cost of. r^& ilfetn. It is a tuinou^.thing that other farmers have to sell their crops at Ian actual loss. But the fact remains that if their were any way by which they could hold their crops in an effort to get prices up to war levels again the whole mass eventually would come down with a greater crasfi than has acc< mpanied the-present fall. But there isu’t any such way. There isn’t Effoney ] enough in ths world' there ^aren’t backing facilities enough, there are­ n’t Government resources enough to hold crops billions on billions of dol­ lars above the market value-when the merciless laws of nature are. ir­ resistibly driving them down. Similarly it is down, down "for everth’ng that has been excessivelly and insufferable high. There is no escape, there is no hope of’ escape from the inevitable—New York Her- ald.

If they doubt Jgenerai appearances it. is a slmple vmatter to" catch the bird and by n few movements either 'conr. firm or dispel' the doubt. There’s no getting away from the fact—a good hen can’t hide her good qualities from, well-informed poultry raisers. Some; not so well informed had to go through the “show-me” stage, and the exten­ sion ,service of the University of Misr' souri college of agriculture, acting through specialist and county agents proceeded to do the showing. ;■ These agents last year held 2,268 culling dem­ onstrations. Out of the' 200,000. birds handled,' 81,000 were culls. V The doubt-, ers were instructed .to retain the culkj and report the' number of eggs re-' celyed. In no case have the culls been, fpund profitable. Characteristics of Hen. - What are these characteristics by which a laying,hen can be picked out? Circular No. 70 issued by the exten­ sion service groups , them under five heads: Vigor, molt; pigmentation, quality, and laying condition. They are further defined.

Whether she is working for herself or some one else, and especially if her endeavor benefits a daughter, there, is | less care and more joy In the. making of party frocks than In anything else. Younger women are' rapturous over them, the young matrons know that they look their best in them and ma- turer ones travel on the road to yes­ terday when'they wear them. There is a wide choice of styles to suit various types, and'plenty of room for individual taste In dance> frocks. One may choose quaint and demure ideas or be a little daring,, or steer a course between the two." When there is so m.uchNtbat Is viyid and Sparkling and daring, it is the simpler-or.: quaint frocks that • find themselves-, most charming. They do not belong to the Jazz era, and are refreshing for that reason. ' A- lovely dance or dinner frock of taffeta, as pictured here, has a Iow bodice with narrow straps of .the silk over the shouldets, and over this a pretty fichu of fine net to match, edged, wltli shirred taffeta strips frayed aiong the edges. The girdle, which is point­ ed at the front, recalls the old-time, pointed bodice that seems to belong to the fall skirt The ficbu is knotted at. the front and has short ends hang­ ing below .the waistline. The skirt is widened at the hips with a wire, and there are three rows of the fringed strips set'aboot it here to emphasize its fullness. Wide scal­ lops' at the bottom reveal a narrow petticoat underneath, that is finished with the fringed sfrips also, and this skirt, like many Othersi. is noticeably, longer than skirts have been’for some time.

Behind the admitted necessity of do. ing something for Armenia, there is a conflict of European Interests involv­ ed.

Action by the United States In Armenia, it is held, would involve no such complications.

Turn!” said the master. “March! School is dismissed;” and six-pairs of bare little legs twinkled along the aisle, across the well-worn threshold, down the big stone step, and' into the dusty road, warm with the rays of the Indian summer son. The master watched them from the open window nntll they vanished be­ hind a ridge of beech trees that cut his vision from the concession. While they remained within sight a smile played npon the features of his strong, son- > burned face, but as the last little ca­ lico dress was swallowed by the wood the smile died down, and for a mo­ ment he stood, -a grave and thoughtful statue framed' within the white pine casings of the sash. His brown study tasted only'a mo­ ment. With a quick,' movement : he walked to the blackboard, caught up a section of sheepskin, .anti began erasing the symbols, of the day’s In­ structions. “Well, I suppose there's reward In heaven.” he said to himself, as he set the little schoolroom In order. “There Isn’t much _ here. The farmers will pay a man more to doctor their sick sheep than to teach their children. If others can take the chance I can take it too. If it were, not for her ,I would ■ go tomorrow." The last remark seemed to unlink a new thaln of thought. The gray eyes lit up again. He wielded. the broom briskly for a minute, then toss­ ed ft In-a corner, fastened the win­ dows, slipped a little folder Into, his pocket, locked the door behind 'hlin and swung In a rapid stride ,down ■ a hy-pnth leading from the little school- house into the forest. Ten minutes’ quick walking in the woods, now glorious In all th^ir riu- tumn splendor, brought'him to a point where the sky stood up, pale blue, evasive, through the trees; , TIie next moment be was at the water’s edge, and a limpid lake stretched away to where the forests of the farther shore mingled hazily with sky and water. He glanced about, as though expect­ ing someone; he whistled a line of a popular song.’but the only reply was from ’ a saucy eavesdropper whicli, perched on a near-by lfmb. trilled back 'Its own liquid notes In answer; . “I may as well Improye the mo­ ments- consulting iriy .diart,”1 he re­ marked to his undulating Image lit the water. ‘‘This thing of embarking on- two neW seas at once edits for skill­ ful piloting.” He seated himself on a • stone, drew 'from his pocket tbe fold­ er, and‘spread a map before him.

Because his effects were not enough to fill a car he had “doubled up” with Tom Morrison, a fine farmer whose worldly, success had been somewhat less than his deserts, and who bravely hoped to mend his broken fortunes where land might be bad'for the taking. So John Harris and his bride took the. passenger train from her city home, while their goods and chattels, save for their personal baggage, rum­ bled on In a box-car or crowded stol­ idly into congested side-tracks as the exigencies of trafiSc required.1 At a junction point they were trans­ ferred from the regular passenger ser­ vice to an itamlgrant train. One or two of the passengers had already made the trip to Manitoba, and- were, now on the journey a second time accompanied by their wives and families. These men were soon noted as individuals, of some moment; they became the center of little knots of conversation, and their fellow-imml- grants hung In reverent attention ppon every word from their lips. “Tell us about the crops,” said one ot the men passengers. “What like wheat can ye grow?” “Like corn,” said the narrator, with great deliberation. “Heads like ears o’ corn. Wheat that grows so fast ye can hear it Nothin’ uncommon to walk into wheat fields when they's knee-high, an’ have to fight yer way out like a jungle.” “Is the Injuns werry big?” piped a little voice. “My pa’s go’n’ to make me a bone-arrow so I can kill ’em all up.” ,: . . “That’s a brave soldier,” said the man, drawing the child to his knee.. “But Ah know a better way to fight Indians -than with bows an’ arrows. Ah fights ’em with flour an’ blankets an’ badger-meat, an’ it’s a long, way better.” The child climbed up on the friend­ ly knee and interested himself in the great silver watch-chain that looped convenient to his fingers. “Go on wif your story, man,” he said. “I's listen­ in’.” And big Aleck M.cCrae forgot the. im; migrants, crowded around, forgot the lurch of the train and the window- glimpse of forests heavy-blanketed with snow, as he plowed his fertile imagination and spread a sudden-har­ vest of wonderment before the little soul that clung to his great watch- chain. ' ’ And so the Journey wore on. As day succeeded day to the monotonous rum­ ble of the’ car wheels the immigrants became* better acquainted and friend­ ships took root that in .after years were to-bravie .every storm of adver­ sity and bloom- forth in' the splendid community of spirit' and sacrifice . which particularly distinguished the pioneers. In the cold gray of'a March morn- ing,. when the sun had not yet dis­ pelled the mists of night, and the fringing woods back from the Red 'river loomed white and spectral through the frost, they re-entered the empire; and In a few minutes were de­ training; at Emerson, the bojnndary town and gateway to the:-prairies which, for 1,000 miles stretched into the-mysteries of the unknow^; • • Emerson • was -the gateway of the great Invasion.

Series of Sermons Condemnins Scanty Bathing Costumes Arouses ire of Young Foik& IS SAVED BY SHERjFF Pelted With Overripe Tomatoe* and Other Missiles, and Sfapped on Mouth Th? “Hussies? He Swore to Drive Out of State.*■ Philadelphia, Pa.—Only the interven­ tion of a sheriff with c. revolver saved the Rev.-Frederick Kopfmann from a terrific drnbbing at the hands of 500 infuriated summer residents of Wash­ ington's Crossing. The Rev. Mr. Kopf- Tngnn has stirred up trouble by a series of sermons condemning, the scanty bathing attire of summer'visi­ tors. The self-appointed enforcer of re­ form carries now, below his right eye, a bruise of many colors. He was pelted with overripe tomatoes, with stones and other missiles, and smacked over the; mouth by the very “hussies’* he had sworn to drive out of the state. The Rev. Mt. Kopfmann begun the day in high spirits. After the morn­ ing sermon he jumped into a waiting auto to get home. . .His Engine Stalled. Unfortunately—for the Rev. Mr. Kopfmann—the engine' stalled in front of the Crossing store, a few rods from the bathing pavilion. The parson thrust Iiis head out to ask what was the trouble. A bather recognized him and set up a shout. In an instant there were 300 or more young men and girls in scant and drip­ ping bathing costumes clamoring about the car. They swarmed upon the run­ ning boards with cries of, “There he is, the dirty lizardi Throw him in the river! Duck him!” At this point a tomato struck the parson-on the forehead. This was f&- Pastor Is Beaten by Bathers. lowed by a fusillade of sticks and stones. The Rev. Mr. Kopfmann sank back on the cushions.

C. DECEMBER 1,1020. ; — — XHinmij s Garage, Pom! of View. Less cotton and tobacco VOLUMN XXlI •i , f It all depends on the way you look at it. Mr. Bost declares that prohi­ bition in North Carolina is “at its worst.” Louis Graves, writing in the current World’s Work on prohi­ bition in North Carolina, call it “a fair success.” Thetwo articles were published within a day or so of each other, by two NorOi Carolinians, each of whom is more or less exper­ ienced in judging conditions in the state, and each carries arguments to back up the conclusion. - In reality, however, there is no es­ sential difference in the conclusions. The apparent disagreement lies in the way they look at it. Mr. Bost "had in mind only the last few years; Mr. Graves was surveying the last 20 years. Mr. Graves admits that there is far more whisky being made in North Carolina now than two years ago, and that there is in all proba­ bility as much drinking. To that ex­ tent he backs up Mr. Bost’s claim that prohibition is at its worst But he thinks that, if one judge the whole course of the fight against the drink evil, beginning with the dry zones established around churches and schoolhouses. great progress has been made: And certainly Mr. Bost does not for a moment intimate that con­ ditions now approach what tbev were under the regime of the open saloon He merely asserts that ’’prohibition” is at its worsf, which by no means an assertion that alcoholism is at its most flourishing. There is, indeed, every indication that the enactment of federal prohi­ bition has had a most startlingly stimulating effect on the moonshine indurtry in North Carolina. Federal prohibition has made patrods of the moonshiners of thousands of men who were perfectly, willing to vote prohibition on everybody else, but had not the slightest intention of a- dopting tee-totalism as their own policy, it has futhermore made the evasion of the law a sporting propo­ sition. T hereisnota doubt that a good many gallons of liquor have been made and sold to people whose main incentive to that purchase was a sort of need to put one over on the prohibition enforcement agents. This 'spirit, however, is prooably .only a temporary flare up. More serious’ is the tendency re­ ported by Mr. Bost for the federal government to pass on the business of enforcing prohibition to the states which have “concurrent jurisdicti­ on.” In so far as North Caralina is ,concerned,- this would be virtually a return to local option, for the state’s feeble powers could never cope with the problem of a county that was de- termined to let the rajponshinere pro spar. If that course is-adopted, all m at the federal prohibition amend­ ment will have succeeded in doing, ' inN orth Carolina, will be the eiima- nation of the excise tax. For North Carolina is not yet dry. If the pub­ lic opinion of the state could- be mobilized, it would wipe out the liquor traffic; but under bur present system a we) county could not be co­ erced by the rest of the state. And there are plenty of counties that are still in favor of liquor..—Gf eensboro News. : ;. \ Is He For Booze!

I T he candidate for. the House of fepreseutatives stepped to the front I the platform, thrust his hands |to Iiis pants pockets, and began i speak camly and distinctly as Jje does who is trying to sell an Ilide on its merits. ■ Men and women,” he said, “I in a business man. I have worked arj and made considerable money, [id my affiairs are so well organiz- that subordinates can handle Lem in mv absence. Iw is h to re- Iesent this district in Congress. "My ambition is due in some Measure to desire to render service gut my actuating motive is the de- |re to get glory for myself. 'I cannot appeal to any class for bpport. I shall appreciate the otes of farmers, but I can offer Iieui nothing in return. It may : that Congress could pass laws to Ighten the burdens of the farmer ud enable him to get rich without [fort, but legislation to enrich one must inevitably impoverish Bother. We may shift burdeus, ; we cannot abolish them. The armers of my acquaintance drive ood cars and have money in the lank. At times I envy them, but never sympathize w ith them, ['hey don’t need it. "So, also, I shall ,appreciate the iipport of craftmen and laborers, Sut I cannot promise them atiy- ihing. When I was a young man I worked twelve hours a day and lamed six dollars a week. I work- hard, for I knew I should be fired if I Ioafedon the job. Ihave nieu building a house foe ine now, and I pay them the average of eight nollars a day.

The people were astonished and mur­ mured among themselves, saying: W hat do you know about that? This guy must be honest.” Then they elected the .man and he served a term iu the House of Representatives. He did not set any woods afire, but it is written to his credit that he made no plati­ tudinous and puerile speeches for home consumption, did not once offend his conscience to please his party, took uo thought of patron­ age, and consistently employed the common seuse that had prepared his private affairs.—Reprinted from the Saturday Evening Post, Copy­ right 1920, by the Curtis Publish­ ing Company Philadelphia. Tlic Repnblkan Victory. Three predominating influences contributed to the defeat of the na- tianal Democratic party in Tues­ day’s election. One was money; a second was sectional hatred and third was ^prejudice. — Charlotte Observer. This is a part of a learing editor­ ial in our very partisan' neighbor, the Charlotte Observer, Nov. 4, In answer to the first cause, let us say that the reason the Democratic cam­ paign fund was not larger was that the people would not “chip in.” They evidently considered it a poor investment. As to sectional hatred the Observershould not throw ston­ es. The almost Solid Soutli is auswer sufficient to that reason. As to personal prejudice. This ap­ plies to President Wilson who was not popular, eveii in his own party nor were his policies favorably re­ ceived as the very large Republi­ can majority gives evidence, That the voters should so express their feeling at the ballot box, need not surprise our neighbor. That was the only way they had to get releif and they most certainly made use of it.—Union Republican. Davidson Farmer Grows 91 Bushels Corn On Acrr. L. C. Snider, of Reeds has pro ven himself a most excellent corn farmer, for this year he made 91 bushels on an acre and a quarter of land that liadbeen in corn for 11 successive years, i From .this field he pulled 10 ears and brought them to the o d Hickory Fair* where he secured about $9.00 in premiums, H is son, Bain teonard, alsoexhibi- ed 10 ears at the. local fair from the same field and captured second prize Mr. Snider also took the 10 ears exhibited7lierelo the State Fair and there won first prize for a io-ear ex hibit. This year he used nothing on the field where the corn Was grown ex. cept ioo. jpounds of fertilizer to the acre.

A postoffico clerk at Henderson, whose salary was $150 a month, came under suspicion when he purchased an automobile. He is now inf jail charged with the theft of $20,000 of the government's money, As a mat­ ter of fact, he got away with Jess than $3 000, for the inspectors found nearly $18,000 stuffed into a tire. This clerk will probably serve a term in the penitentiary; but at that it is to be doubted whether he is any more criminal than a good many men against whom no charge will ever be laid, and who will never see the in­ side of a jail. At least this fellow is paying for his own fun. Somebody else is paying for many people's. In this day and time, salaries of $150 a month and automobiles sim­ ply don’t go together, certainly not when the earner of the salary has a wife and children to support. It maybe that the wage-earlier may purchase a machine without stealing the government’s money, or without doing anything else for which the law can lay a hand on him: but that is no assurance that he is not guilty of theft. The automobile may, and often is, purchased at the expense of the grocer and the butcher, gasoline eats up the money that ought to pay for the necessities of-life.. The man does not rifle anybody’s safe, but he robs his creditors), and perhaps his own family to pay for a luxury that he cannot affort. E v e n if he manages t o p a y bis bills at the grocery and the meat-market, a man earning $150 a month cannot own and operate an expensive motor­ car legitimately. A married man! owes a duty to his dependents that he cannot discharge if he is spending evety ceni that he earns as fast ‘as t^e earns it. An automobile, even if ifcis not taking bread out of his chil­ dren’s mouths, is eating up their chance for education, for occupying ini the world a situation a little more advanced than the one that their father occupied. The automobile, in that case, is crippling the next een- eration, reducing the probability of its being an asset, rather than a lia­ bility to the state, in short, robbing the Henderson clerk, ;No doubt the Henderson clerk had got into his head the notion, ail too common among Americans that to live less expensively than the neigh­ bors is somehow a brand of inferior­ ity. That widespread idea is the most damning evidence of our national poverty of imagination. We have so few standards of comparison Cf excellence that the extremely fallible one of wealth is the only one usually applied. Learning, wit, piety—they are no longer to be compared with tfte -possession of dollars in getting honor for an American among his neighbors.- A n y sort of swine, if fce be sufficiently gilded, can pass for one of nature's noblemen in many American communities. What won­ der, then, that men run the moat ap pialling risks to secure money? What wonder that they commit all sorts of crimes, even a against their o|vn children, if by so doing thSy .Hjay seem to have possession of the talisman that, iike Aladdin’t lamp, grates the possessor with all the qualities of mind and heart that make up a great man? The Henderson postoffice clerk is something more than merely a rogue brought to justice.

McCrae made them pack hay In the bottom of the sleigh boxes, and over this were laid robes and blankets, on which the immigrants sat, as Tlitckly as • they could be' placed. More robes and blankets were laid on top, and sacks staffed very full of hay served the double purpose of cush­ ioning their backs and conveying fod­ der for the animals. Morrison came up to Harris’ sleigh, and gave it an approving inspection. “You will all be fine,” be said, "and a great deal better than wearyin' about here. Besides, you’re: just as well to be away,” he added,'in a somewhat lotver voice, “McCrae tells me if this sun. keens up the roads will be gone before we know it, and that means a delay of two or three weeks,” At this moment McCrae himself joined the group. “There’s only two in your party, Harris," he said, “an’ while Ah don’t want to interrupt your ’honeymoon, there’s- another passenger to be taken care of. Dr. Blain is go­ ing with us, and. Ah'm going to put him in your charge. He’s a bit pe­ culiar, but Ah don’t think h'e’il give you any trouble. It’s just a case of being too much of a good fellow.

Doctor, straighten Up. Ah want to introduce you.” Half leading, and half pulling, Mc­ Crae brought the doctor to Harris’ sleigh. “This is Mr, Harris, Who you will travel with—Jack Harris. An’ Mrs, Harris,” The doctor had glanced only casual­ ly at Harris, but at the mention of the woman’s name he straightened up and stood alone. ./ “Glad to meet you, madam,” he said. “And it’s only proper that the pleas- 8avory Smells Soon Were Coming Prom Hot Prying Pans. ure should be all mine,” There was a little bitterness in his voice that did not escape her ear, "But indeed I am glad to meet you ” she answered. “Mrt McCrae has been telling us something of your work among the settlers,. We .are very for­ tunate to have you with, us.” He shot a keen look Into her - face, She returned his gaze frankly, and he found sarcasm neither In her eyes nor her voice. "Help me In,-McCrae,” he said. “Tm a bit unsteady * * * There now, my bag. Don't move, Mrs. Harris * * * I think we are quite ready now, are we not?” • ..."“Most, remarkable man,” whispered McCrae to Hnrrls. "Wonderful how he can pull, himself together.” McCrae hurried to his own sleigh, called a cheery ‘‘AU ready I" and the party at once proceeded to get under way., ' Harris’ .thoughts were on his team, on the two cows trudging behind, and on the multiplicity of arrangements which his new life would, present for decision and settlement. Bnt his wife gazed silently out over the, ocean of snow. The rays of the sun .fell‘grate­ fully on her cheeks, pale and some­ what, Wini wltli her long Journey. But the sun ,went down, and the western sky. cliiiiiliess and measureless, faded from gold io, copper,-apd from copper to silver. ,and from, Miver to lead. It was her first sight of the prairie, and a strange .mixture of emotions;:.,of awe, and Ioneilnesg, and a .certaln'Jn- difference to personal consequences, welled up within her. Once or twice she thought of homeryn home so , far 'away that It might have been in an­ other planet ’But she would Uot let her mind dwell on it for long. She was going to be brave;-' .For the sake of the braVe man who sat at-her aide, guiding his team In the. deepening darkness; ■ for the sake-of the new home that they two should- build some­ where over the horizon ; for the sake of the civilization that was to’ be plant­ ed, of the nation that must arise, of the manhood and womanhood of- to­ morrow—she woul^ b^brave- A bright star shone- down! from:, the west;- one- by one they appeared In the heavens. S * * It grew colder.- The snow no longer caked on. the hqrses’ feet; the sleigh runners creaked-,and whined uncannily.- The team came to a sudden - stop. The sleigh In front was obstructing the road, and the party closed up In solid formation. i “Camp No. I,” called Aleck McCrae, from - the head sleigh. . ‘‘Run ,these sleighs up In two rowof and he Indi­ cated where he wanted- them ■ placed.; “It’s hard on the-horses .an’’ cattle, after the. wdrm cars, but they’ll stand It tonight if they’re well blanketed; Tomorrow night weliV be- among; the Mennonites, -with'a chance- of getting stable room.” ' ' : Under Aleck’s direction the sleighs were run up in two rows; about 20 feet apart, facing the north. Two sleighs were then run across the open­ ing at the north end, so that altogeth­ er they formed a three-sided court. Men with shovels quickly cleared jthe snow from the northerly portions of the court, and there the tent was pitched. The ground was covered with blankets, robes and bedding- Pots and pans were produced f women eager to be of service swarmed about the stove, and children, free at last of their muf­ fling wraps, romped in high'-iaughtered glee among the robes or danced back and forward with the swinging shad­ ows. • Savory smells soon were coming from hpf frying pans, as sliced ham with bread and gravy, was served up In tin plates and passed about the tent. Everybody—married men and women, maidens and young men, girls, boys, and little children—was raven­ ously hungry, and for a few minutes little could be heard but the plying of the viands. But as the first edge of hunger became dulled the edge of wit sharpened, and laughter and banter rollicked back and forward through the tent. The doctor, now quite so­ ber, took a census, and found the to­ tal population to be 28, These he classified as 12 married, eight eligible, seven children, and himself, for whom he found no classification. When the meal was over and the dishes washed and packed, Aleck made another round of the camp before set­ tling down for the night. Meantime mothers gathered their families about them as best they could; the little ones sleepily mumbled their prayers, afid_all hands, young and old, nestled down like a brood of tired chickens under the white wings of the protect­ ing tent. Outside the ground-drift sift­ ed gently'about the sleighs, .the cows sighed iln contentment, and the wolves yapped to each other In the distance, GRAIN GRADING MARKETING Columbia University Added to Number of Colleges Giving Course of instruction. OTNBl INSTITUTIONS AIDINe United States Department of Agricul­ ture Is Preparing Sets of Trays - Illustrating Various Grad­ ing Factors. Columbia university has recently been' added to the number of colleges giving Instruction In grain grading and marketing. The United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture, charged with the administration of the grain standards act, is keenly interested In having such Instruction made a part of college cur­ ricula, particularly of agricultural col­ leges, and today there are 20 colleges where-students study grain handling. Columbia University Helping. At New York city the local federal grain supervision office is giving active assistance to Columbia university In outlining and presenting the grain grading course to be given, and sim­ itar help Is being accorded other col­ leges by federal grain supervision offi­ cials located in 38 districts throughout the United States. The department is also preparing sets-of eight type trays illustrating the various grading factors of shelled com, wheat, and oats, to be lent to colleges, teaching grain grading under federal standards. Last fall a conference of teachers of farm crops In a number of agricul­ tural colleges with federal grain su­ pervision officials was held at Chicago, where the entire grain situation was discussed with a view of equipping the instructors with information that would enable them to formulate courses of study In grain grading and market­ ing. Every phase of the grain trade was covered and a report of the con­ ference prepared for distribution among the various colleges interested. Grading Demonstrations. Grain grading demonstrations cover- ing.a period of from one to twelve days have been given by United States Department of Agriculture experts be­ fore students of agricultural colleges In 17 states. The department is pre­ pared to assist colleges in every pos­ sible way in furnishing them with au­ thoritative "'information regarding the Objects of the grain standards act and the practical application of Its pro­ visions. WOOD CUTTING 6000 JOB DURING WINTER Worlc Ooss Not .Interfere With Regufar Field- Crops- Logs Cut Ar Cold Weather Season Are Not Subject to Rapid Dryfng- Farmers Illlay Profitably'Turn to Some- Sawmilling- - Farmers, as a rule; have too much to do at certain, times of - the year and not enough; at others. Many farms are unprofitable because their owners have little or nothing planned for win­ ter. Wood-cutting can be done at any time, but cool ’weather favors the rate of production; and in the winter the work does not conflict with that on regular field crops. If - cut in winter logs are not subject to rapid drying. \r SNOWPLOW IS COLLAPSIBLE Cutting Wood for. Fuel by Use of Gas­ oline Engine. / -nor to checking at the ends of the logs, which often occurs in summer- cut logs and apparently reduces their sale value; ' Because of Injury resulting from the southern pine bark beetle In the hot season, it is practically necessary to cut pine In the fall and winter months. Damage and loss in summer often come from wood-rotting fungi, includ­ ing the “bluing” and other staining of wood. For these reasons a good many farmers turn profitably to logging and SawmiIIing for a few fall or winter months each year. Nearly every kind of wood product can be satisfactorily handled In winter. according to the for­ est service of the United States De­ partment of Agriculture.

Doctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds and influ­ enza can be depended upon for full ef­ fectiveness until the Ever is made thor­ oughly active. That is why the first step in the treatment is the new. nausea- less colomel tablets called Calotabs1 Which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calo­ mel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active Ever may go a long way towards preventing influenza and is one of the most important factors in en­ abling the patient to successfully with­stand an attack and ward off pneu­ monia.One Calotab on the tongue at bed tune with a swallow of water—that’s- all.

A friendship had al­ ready sprung Up between Mrs. Arthurs and Mrs. Harris, and nothing seemed more appropriate than that the two women should occupy the house to­ gether while Harris sought out new honiesieiid land and Arthprs proceed­ ed with the development Of his -farm. After the. crossing of the Pembina the party began to scatter—some to homesteads already located; others to friends wjio would billet them until their arrangements were completed, At length came the trail, almost lost In the disappearing snow, that led to Arthurs’ homestead.

FERTILITY IN TON OF STRAW ^ Has-Abiilty to Increase Crop Just as Much as Manure, Although It Is Slower to AcL A ton of straw contains as much fertility as a ton of manure, and al­ though the fertility does not become available qnlte so quickly. It neverthe­ less has the ability In'the long run to increase crops Just as much as ma­ nure. Of coarse the ideal way to nse straw is- to flse it as bedding for ani­ mals and then spread It on the land mixed- with manure. Where this Is impractical the- straw should by all means be spread on the land at the rate of around one’and a half tons per acre and plowed under.

It waie declared hi Bome quarters when the assembly began its meeting. Assertione were made that decision of the committee on the admission of new states, which held, in effect, Giat . the articles does not guarantee the ter­ ritorial integrity of any member of the league, represented the views of a majority of the delegates. This in­ terpretation and the postponement of consideration of certain changes in the covenant were the principal topics V t conversation here. Three’changes, which were propos­ ed by Scandinavian ^countries, were uaid In no wise to prevent considera­ tion at this session of any other amendments. N. W. Rowell, a Canadian delegate, brought this out clearly by questioning •A. J. Balfour, of GreaJt Britain. D. J. COSTELLO D. J. Costello, European representa­ tive of the Fedepatecl Press Assocla- tion of America, was handed deporta­ tion orders Issued by the British gov­ ernment. ,No reason for the order was made' public; OPPOSE WANNAMAKEO’S IOEAS The Regulations Point Out That the Farmers of the South Badly Need a More Positive Policy. Prelude to Civil War. Rome—AU statements made by Cap­ tain Gabriele D'Annunzio at Fiume, eeem to be a prelude to civil war, in spite of the fact that the poet-soldier lias declared to the people of that city that “the blood of brothers shall not he shed.” He is urging nationlist non- combatants to build 'barricades and re­ sist attacks by Italian regulars. Foodstuffs for Fiume. Ancona, Italy.—A steamer having a JuU cargo of foodstuffs sailed from, this port for Fiume.

This decision affects 100,000 - operatives. French Loan Heavy. Paris—Unexpectedly heavy subscrip­ tions from the ikovinces to the new Erench six per cent loans, which clos- - ed November 30, were said to have raised the total beyond estimates of something over 26,000,000,000 francs. RaleIghI *— Resolutions adopted by the state board of agriculture oppose unqualifiedly any horizontal reduction in the cotton acreage of Nortlh Caro­ lina, saying “it is wholly, unfair to re­ quire the man planting only one-fifth of his land in cotton to cut his acreage the same percentage as the man who plants four-fifths of his land In cot­ ton.” This action puts the state board on record as opposed to the proposal of J. S. Wannamaker, president of the American Cotton association, that December 11 be set aside in every cot­ ton growing state as “cotton reduc­ tion day,” when it is urged that cotton farmers be committed to an agree­ ment to cut their acreage for 1921 ex­ actly one-half. t The regulations point out that the farmers of the South need a positive policy “with everlasting insistence upon a permanently safe farming foundation” as a means of preventing the constant change from prosperity to bankruptcy every four or five years. Would Protect Cotton. Chicago.—A protective tariff on cot­ ton, rice and wheat was advocated be­ fore. the National association of Com­ missioners, Secretaries and Represen­ tatives of departments of Agriculture by Harry D. Wilson, of Louisiana who declared that although he was a'demo- orat, he favored protection for the farmers! To Consider No Amendments, Geneva.—A resolution rejecting the consideration of amendments to the league covenant at this session and providing for a committee to study changes before the meeting of the next assembly was passed by the as­ sembly of the league with but one dis­ senting vote. Geneva.—The councIl of the League of Nations unanimously approved the invitation, drawn up by the military commission calling on .the United States to name a, representative to SR on the commission. The invitation expressed the view that the general consideration of the subject of a re­ duction of armament would be“great- Iy facilitated’ if the United States gov­ ernment could see its way to send a representative to sit in a consultative capacity with the commission. Following the council’s approval of the invitation, a note embodying it wa® dispatched to the Washington government. The text of the invitation was sug­ gested by Brigadier General George S. Clive the British member oi the com­ mission. The invitation requests the United Staes to send a representative who will sit in a consultative capacity during the study of the question of a reduction In armaments. “It would, of course, be perfectly understood,” the invitation says in part, “that the presence of a repre­ sentative of the United States would In no way commit the American gov­ ernment to whatever opinions may be finally put forward' in the report of the commission.

TOIOO MAKES PARTIAL DENIAL ACommission of Inquiryhas Beensent to The Scene of Disturbance to Probe Into Truth of Allegations. Toklo.—Canadian missionaries In Manchuria have isent a signed state­ ment to Tbe Associated Press telling of massacres alleged to have been committed by Japanese troops in Chien-Tao. Dr. Martin, a Presbyterian missionary at Yong Jung, says: The Japanese sent 15,000 troops into this part of China with the seem- idg intention of wiping out the entire Christian community, especially young men. Villages were methodically burned daily and the males in them were shot Yong Jung is surrounded by a ring of villages which suffered from fire and wholesale murder.” Dr. Martin gives accounts by sur­ vivors wihich describe the Japanese infantry as surrounding the villages and setting.fire to the crops and shoot­ ing the male inhabitants. He named 32 villages in yrblch massacres occur­ red or which were burned. In one village, he says, 148 persons were kill­ ed. Reports received from other mis­ sionaries tend to oorrborate the story of Ur. Martin. . / The war office informed the corre­ spondent that there were 600 troops In the region referred to. Churches and schools, it was said, had been burned only when there was evidence that they were being used for the pur­ pose of creating disaffecQons.

It has refused to permit even discussion of the amendment which Argentina, con-, aiders as fundamental to the league— necessary to its successful existence.” Genor Pueyrredon said Argentina would not resume her place in the as­ sembly until it had passed the four amendments he had proposed. These aim principally at securing compul­ sory arbitration by the international court of justice; the admission of all states and the selection of all mem­ bers of -the council instead of only four as now. Argentina’s withdrawal from the as­ sembly constituted the first definite breach between the league and one of its members.

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 (ells 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 clTake 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 re­sults, 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 Swiamp-Soot is due to the fact, (o many- people claim, that it fulfills al­ most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri­nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Koot by Parcels Post.

Analogize, but Mrs. McIntyre Feels That She Must Leave the Town Where She Suffered $o Keenly. New .Castle, Pa.-—Mrs, Ada Mtin- tyre, wife- of "Scotty" McIntyre, a steel Workftrj whom the town of New CasQe ostracized because she took-a motorcar ride with another man, is leaving, In spite of the fact that the townspeople who pilloried her for her act are willing to forgive. The for­ giveness comes after she had been con­ demned by everyone and ministers had censured her for her act from the pul- Plt?. Now the McIntyre family, which In­ cludes a twenty-months-old baby, is moving. “Scotty” McIntyre has been a steel worker here for 25 years. His wife, the town now admits, committed no grave error, save to accept the proffer of a ride with another married wom­ an and two men. One of the men had been drinking, the motor broke down, and In a quarrel one of the men' was killed. v Mrs. McIntyre Under Ball. Mrs. McIntyre is under bail here as a material witness In connection with the death of J. C. Abraham, traveling, salesman, who was slain while driving with Mrs. McIntyre, Mrs. Harriet Olds and her brother, Roy Phillips. The people of New Castle, whose sense of self-righteousness suddenly rose to the fore and condemned Mrs. McIntyre without a hearing, are sorry. Even the ministers who condemned her have gone to her and apologized. It happened this Way; Mfes Mur- chard, New Castle’s policewoman and probation officer, after reading Mrs. McIntyre’s published appeal for clem­ ency from the Christian people of tire community, went to call on “Scotty” and his wife. There she saw the spir­ it existing between the two and their happiness together. She went out and called on the ministers and explained to them their mistake. She also had a talk, with the leaders of public sen­ timent. > Committee Is Appointed. ; After talking things over a commit­ tee was appointed who went to the -Cotton.—Prices for spot cotton and future contracts continued to decline during the week, although the decline was not as severe aa In recent weeks'.

This makes two loaves and Is especially good for tbe UtOe people. Apple Pudding.—Grease a pudding dish and place pared, cored and quar­ tered apples, five or six, In a baking dish.

SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS. Wlth venlson in season, there Is no more dellclotiB tidbit-than roast saddle of venison. Usually the meat lacks fat and this should ?be supplied by larding with small, strips, of salt pork, cut In nar- row strips near to thac rind, as that part of the . pork is firmer. An onion, a carrotror two,; flngly , ; chopped and cooked, with the meat and. removed: before serving, adds greatly to Its flavor. Any wild' game Is Improved by such .seasoning. . Potato Dumplings.—Slft. together one and one-half cupfuls of flour, five teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one- half teaspoonful of salt, three tea­ spoonfuls of butter, one-ljolf cupful of riced potato,,one egg beaten light and three-fourths, of a cup of milk.

In black and dark fcolors it makes afternoon and dinner frocks un­ pretentious, but surpassingly charm­ ing. The yoyithful and Vpretty model shown in the picture employs'apricot colored taffeta with a. frivolous short' overdress of chiffon in the same color. This is made of overlapping flounces having scalloped edges bound with bias folds of -the taffeta. The. underskirt is moderately wide and ankle length, th e. simple bodice draped in a "V” shaped neck opening-at the back and front, and filled In with-a chemisette of fine'lace. The sleeves are merely two flounces of the. scalloped chiffon. Many pretty rivals of this dress brighten the display room of the shop that presents it. There is one in pink foffeta having a plain “baby” waist with straps of taffeta over the shoul­ ders and a full round skirt. About the bottom of the bodies there Is a narrow frill formed by gathering the skirt to the bodice in this way, and nestling in tills frill, across the front, there are small, half-blown garden roses set in a row. Over them and over Ihe bodice there is a veiling of maiines scantily draped. It is hardly notlce- nlile, but adds a beautiful teuch like a rosy mist over silk and flowers. It is like the taffeta in color. 1 • Imagine, in the company of these two frocks, a third of apple green taffeta, with a low bodice and full skirt gathered on n small-wire at the hips to. make it stand out from -the figure.- It has a pretty fichu of mallnes to match, and there are motifs made of light green glass beads scattered about on the skirt' B e t w e e n - S e a s o n s B l o u s e s L m I I N THEJ race for. preference, georg­ ette crepe has maintained the lead as a favorite material rfor blouses, but fine-o batiste.

The camera saves American irolnS try millions of dollars annually, says the Nation’s Business. A wink of its eye, taken in one millionth of a sec­ ond by the ’ight from a single crack of electricity, told engineers Iiow to build turbine wheels that would stand terrific strain. A crack in a labora­ tory workshop and some idle scrap­ ing on a wall helped defend a valu­ able patent. The ordinary photograph preserves records, helps keep stock, is a bul­ wark of Investigation, aids materially In cleaning up sales, figures in estab­ lishing patent rights, teaches lessons In safety as they can be taught in do other way, puts punch and pull in ad­ vertising and helps make good citi­ zens out of aliens In the schools of plants which conduct Americanlzatioa glasses for their workers. These are a few of the things tha camera is doing In Industry. First Oil Refinery. France is engaged in developing her oil industry, which has long been neg­ lected.

Davie County, with its great per­ centage of level, productive land, is capable of as high an agricultural develepment as any county in North Carolina. Grain, hay and pastures succeed well anywhere in the-, coun­ ty, and most parts of the county will produce either cotton or tobac co. This gives a good cash crop, in addition to hay, grain, and live­ stock products. Railroad facilities are good, and w ith impiroved roads from the farms to the railroads farm products may be readily mar­ keted. The level topography of the landencouragesthe use_of farm implements of large capacity, dawn by tractors. Such machinery should enable one man to tend as, much land as two could'by the old m eth­ ods. The soils of Davie County are naturally strong. Farmers should take care to not only keep them as, but to improve them. This can best be done by the rational use of fertilizers, lime, legumes and farm manufe, as far as the letter will go. Yields can be stlil futher increased by the introduction of improved strains of seeds, and by keeping these pure through careful selection There are three leading, types of soil in Davie County, the deep red clay soil, the brown soils w ith tight waxy yellow subsoils, and the sandy soils. ■( The red 'd ay soils are the most extensive in .the county. These soils are naturally very productive and most farmers -pay some atten total'to keeping tlBexii productive by turning under red clover. Much greater good could be derived from red clover by using ground lime­ stone in connection w ith it. Red clover has been grown successfully without lime, owing to the large amount of lime already in the soil, but every crop of red clover turned iuto the soil makes it more acid. Some farmers who have been grow­ ing clover for many years are be­ ginning to note that now it is hard­ er to get a stand of clover, and that the clover makes a poorer-growth than formerly. This -is at least partly due to the fact, that preced­ ing clover cops have exhausted the soil’s supply of.lime. A n applica­ tion of one great ton of ground lime­ stone per acreevery three years, or two tons every five years, should be sufficient to keep most of these soils sweet enough for growing dover and other legumes. Many farmers are abtaining some lime by the use of basic slag, or some of the manu­ factured producted containing lime and phosphoric acid. • These have proven to be helpful, but do not usually furnieh enough lime for best results. More lime and as much phosphoric acid may be had for the same money by buying ground limestone and 16 per cent, acid phosphate. In using limestone it should be spread on the plowed ground and harrowed in. It is best to apply the lime the year before clover is to be sown, m this way, giving it_plen- ty of time to neutralize the add in the soil. A moderate application of potash would, at reasonable prices, pay for red clover on this soil. W henw e consider that a ton of clover-liay cOiij^is forty pouqgpipf actual pot- aslf.it will be seenClfiat removing the hay will rapidiydeplete t h e s i s available supply of'. POtasb^--yIt -is Oiilyfair to the Iaijd.to replaces part of it. Enough^potash-m&y be supplied by 50 to 75 pounds manure salt, 80 to 125 pounds kainit, or 20 to 30 pounds muriate of potash per acre; This may be drilled in with acid phosphate when sowing- the dover seed, or both add phosphate and notash may be applied as a top- dresser in the springe*thwelpvc^w second year of growth. .-tv iff The brown soils oFDavie Counfy "HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRJBED BY GAIN.” 3 MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. DECEMBER 15, 1920.NUMBER 23 contain .more ’ lime than the red, hence less <Jf it need to be used. Farmers on this soils should try out applications of 1000, 2000 and 3000 pounds per acre in the same field, so as to j udge which is best. Dime should be applied once every 3 to 5 years,' as above directed. Dess acid phosphate is necessary than on the red soils. On the other hand, the application Of potash should be doubled. lMany cases have been noted where" corn has "freached” on this soil. This may be corrected, by applying potash. It should be applied to clover grown in the ro- tatian with corn. If the corn frenches badly, about 50 pounds per acre of manure salt or butter still, 80 pounds of kainit, should be applied directly unless the manured. W hat has been said with regard to growing clover also applies to soybeans. Soybeans are excellent summer crop for hay, seed, pastur­ age, and soil improvement. They do not in any way compete with clover, and should be extensively grown in the country. On the sandy soils soybeans would probably be a better crop for hay and soil improvement than red clover. Crimson clover should be more widely grown on these soils as a winter soil improver. Rye or oats could in many "cases, be’ substituted tor wheat with profit. Abruzzi rye gives good yield of grain, and usually commands a higher price per bushel than wheat. Oats and vetch make an excellent hay crop, or the two may be. grown together for seed, and the separate ed hy_funning through a cleaneiv .' The sandy soils in the Southern and Eastern parts of the county are suitable for cotton. It is necessary however, to grow a well fruited, ehrly maturing variety. The King Noi 29 developed by the N orth Carolina Experiment Station would be an excellent variety- for Davie county.'. T hereisroom fortw o or three growers, who would intro­ duce this seed and keep it pure, to do a profitable business in supply­ ing the county with it. Cotton should be fertilized .more heavily than is necessary. A good fertilizer m ixture for sandy and red lands is L 300 lbs. 16 per ct. A dd. 100 lbs. N itrate of Soda. 125 lbs. Kainit or 75 lbs. manure Salt. : Cati-V W e have round, by long contin­ ued experiments, that nitrate of soda has a decided advantage over othercarriers of nitrogen, in that it gives cotton a quick start, and keeps it growing rapidly from plan­ ting to m aturity. Potash has been found decidedly profitable when us­ ed in connection with nitrogen and phosphoric acid. If a ready mixed fertilizer is desired, use 500 pounds 8-3-3, °f a brand that supplies half its nitrogen in water-soluble . form W hencottom s grown on “black­ jack” lands the acid phosphate should be cut in half and the potash doubled. The farmer who succeede in the future will have to do his work in a systematic way. He must.be able to plan ahead. A good rotation, will help him to control insects, plant diseases, and weeds, to. get this work done on time; and to im­ prove his soil.more surely and.more rapidly. A rotation should be at least four years m length,, -so that plenty of crops may be turned un­ der. A good rotation for general farming in Davie County, with fer­ tilizers recommended for- each-crop is as follows: T st Y ear-C orny, (Entire stalk turned under) 200-300 pounds 16. per cent, acid with liberal-; applica­ tion of stable manure. Rye or crimson clover (turned under.) 2nd Year—Soy beans (H ay or seed.) 200-300 pounds 16 per ct acid; 50-75 pounds mfSnure salt. 3rd Year—W heat 300-350- ^ 16 percent acid,- 4th Y ear-R ed Clover (Second crop turned under.) 200 pounds 16 percent acid; 50-75 Pouiids-Mar nure Salt;. . ■ ' , - This rotation provides three crops that may b e• turned under-every that soils are easiest improved by legumes, that the legume crops must be turned under if it im the soil, that lime will greatly in­ creased the growth of legumes, and that it is necessaryto apply some plant food in the form of commer- four years;' thfc corn stalks, the ryejeial .fertilizers, in addition to the or crimson clover., and the second nitrogen that legumes get from the crop of red clover. If no hay of air. straw are sold, but returned to the land through manure," improvement should be rapid. The difficulties of breaking clover sod for wheat is tliminated, as is also that of getting the wheat sown early enough when it follo ws corn.' The soy bean stub-_ ble'land may be prepared for wheat by thorough dascing. This gives j list the kind of seedbed that is best for wheat, loose on top 'and compact underneath. There is plenty of time for getting in tie wheat after cutting the soy beans. Some changes In this rotation might be advisable in certain cases: T he wheat farmer could add a sec­ ond crop each of - wheat and red clover making a six year rotation. The livestock, farmer might find-it well to sow a clover and grass-mix­ ture in place of red clover. This could ,be CUf1 for hay the first year and allow to stand a year or two longer for pasture.. Cotton m iy be introduced just before or just after fchc-corn crop, and followed by rye or crimson clover. ■ On some of the sandy soils it would be an advant age to suistitute rye or oats for wheat,- and follow this crop- with two crops of soy beans (which areU to be turned under' instead of red E.

IN ADVANCE - $ SO THREE MONTHS, IN ADVANCE $ 25 The price of cotton is a good deal higher today than it was in 1913. Why worry over the cost of coal and wood when you can buy rabbits at 25 cents per and eggs at 60 cents per dozen. Congress may also be called upon to help the fellows who have been working in the mills and factories, b .it who are now out of a job. Are you posted on crop and soil conditions in Davie coonty? If not, you can learn a good many interest­ ing things about Davie county by reading the article written by E. C. Blair, which appears on first page of today’s paper. The Record is in favor of better roads for North Carolina and Davie county in particular. The next legislature will no doubt be able to do something along this line. A county or state that hasn’t improv­ ed highways these days are away behind the times.' Some of our farmers are not rais­ ing a h jwl about the country having gone to the devil. We have talked to a number of cit zens who seem to be satisfied with the prices that they are receiving for their tobacco and other crops. With the price of dry goods, notions, shoes, clothing and laboi coming down, it is natur­ al that the price Qf farm products should drop also. The tobacco and cotton acreage will no dc>ubt be cut next year and it will not be long nntil the old world will be moving along smoothly. It is Obly ten days until Christ mas, and we would be glad if all our subscribers would send or bring us tueir renewal before this happy event, so that we may enjoy the holiday season along with other folks. Although the price of paper ink, and other printing material hasn’t dropped a penny, The Re­ cord has reduced its supscription price to only one dollar per year. This was done for the benefit of our readers who are having to sell their crops at a lower price, and those whose wages have been reduced by the mills and factories. . JUST THREE YEARS AGO. ? Irtthe rush through life many serious and sad events are soon for­ gotten. Justthree years ago this week, the following editorial ap­ peared ill The Record: "Twenty-one of Davie’s brave boys tramped through a five-inch snow Wednesday morning, Dec, 12th before day, arid took the five o’clock traitf :for Camp Jackson, to answer the call', of their country. AU those called responded save one —Mr. Alleil-^who, was too ill to answer the call. Those who left were: Walter McDaniel, Clarence Carter, Robert Cfeason, Jacob E. McDaniel, William Powell, George Stewart, Robert 0. Bowden, Ern­ est Hendrix, Wiley Smith, William Boger, Will Beam, Claud Howard, Brady Foster, Grady Cartaer, John G Bailey, John LeGrand, William Dwiggins1 Frank McClamrpch, R. H, Peebles, Ney Griffith, Herbert Hendrix. Afine bunch of boys who will never let the “Stars and Stripes” trail in the dust. The best of luck to you, one and all . Of the 21 boys who left Mocks- ville that morning three years ago, 19 of them came back and are still rests in ^Sniith .< Grove cemetery, GeoriJe £>tewart was,killed in bat tie, and his body .rests in a grave on thebattle field ih'France. The majority of the boys are back at their oid homes, and several have since married, among them being William Dwiggins, William Powell and ;Wiley Smith and perhaps oth­ ers, The Record is glad that the boys are with- us instead of being in foreign lands. Cheers for those living and tears for the dead. * DISGRACE North Cdroliua has again been suc­ cessful in placing a disgrace upon the fair name of the state, which re­ fused to give the people a fair elec­ tion law and sometimes takes soldier votes without the asking. This time however, it is in a new form and the state is semi officially con­ nected. It happened at the Univer­ ity of North Carolina; it happened by the people who were there un-ji der the instruction of educators of all parts of the world and under the direct supervision and support of the State of North Carolina paid for by the tax-payers of the state without regard to political taith and yet they enacted a disgraceful scene. A parade was passing through the town of Chapel Hill and was being conducted by several hundred Re­ publicans celebrating the Harding victory, when they were attacked by students of the school. Thepa- raders asked for protection and what did they receive. They re­ ceived orders to disperse to prevent trouble and perhaps bloodshed. Who supports this institution which is supposed to be a place of learning? The tax payers as usual and the men who were treated with con­ tempt by the offices and managers of Chapel Hill pay- their part each year without a kick. Notasingle word of punishment has been offer­ ed these rioting students by the college authorities. They are con­ tent; they are perhaps pleased up their sleeves; and futlier they are ashamed to create any more publi­ city over-a matter that shows the little knowledge and honor their students have been given. It’s a bad record and one the state should be ashamed of.—Yadkin Ripple. F a r m iD g to n News. Friday afternoon Farmington Bas­ ket Ball boys journeyed to Cana and p’ayed one of the Snest games of the season with Cana team. The score was 11 to 24 in favor of Farmington team.

BALL PLAYED BY PRISONERS Eastern Penitentiaries Have Teams That Put Up Good1 Exhibitions of the NationarGctme.' Many prisons and penitentiaries have baseball teams composed ot inmates, and the national sport- has done much to revive the health and spirits of prisoners. These baseball ,teams are uniformed and play ft regular schedule Of games; but of necessity these games are always played on the prison-home grounds. One' of the best known prison teams is that of SIng Sing.-'It is'.known as the Mutual Welfare league team, and last season it won more than 95 per cent of games played with visiting nines. The. prison baseball field has. a splendidly graded surface, and-there are bleachers for spectators.- The team plays Saturday and Sunday' after- 'noons. Visiting teams come from New Jersey and Connecticut. The prison team has won froni some of\th'e best semi-professional nines In these states. •The Eastern penitentiary In Philadel­ phia has ■ long maintained a baseball team, and has developed many ! good players. .

The old' folks loved their boy too well to reproach him for his desertion now in the first flush of bis young manhood, but their hearts did ache at’ thought of the separation. . “Sou’ll soon get tired of all that hurly-burly there in the city, Tom,” his.old father told him. VAnd when you do, I want you always to. remem­ ber that we’ve still, got a place tor you back here at the old homestead. It mayn't be as. fine and showy as lots you’ll see' there in the city,, but it’s more the sort that .the good Lord In­ tended you for. Ma and I are hoping the -best for you, son, but—when you do find out that your fortune’s not away off there^-Just pocket your pride and come back here to us who love you.”So young' Tom left the farm with shining eyes and a high heart and ad­ ventured into the great, far-away city In quest of fame aDd fortune. How he fared there and all the sor­ ry disappointments that repeatedly overtook hiib during that'year of ab­ sence would .be a long and harrowing story to tell. He, chased his rainbow to Its end, yet found the fabled"Pot of gold not there as he had so confidently and blatantly expected. Tom made applications for all sorts of office positions only to find himself quickly rejected because of his lack of experience In those specific lirt' ' : “Well, anyway, I’m young and-hus­ ky and used to hard manual lebor,” Tom consoled himself. “I can at least get a job with a Contracting gailg, as a painter, or. ’ plumber's assistant, or ieamster. -That will suffice to keep me going for a while until the sort of po­ sition I want turns up.” Bttt even In those lines of work the green country boy-found himself sud­ denly brought up short against a blank wall. He bad no references as to past .city employment and nobody would hire him after once finding out:.that he 'had no union card. Huddled In his shabby, overcbat on a .street cornet* In the squalid section of the- city—the - icy ,wind -’whistling around him and biting through his threadbare garments—poor Tom stood on the evening before OhristmaB, won­ dering where he might find a >helter in which, to sieeS that night without freezing. 'Just how long-he had stood there, shivering In the chill wind on the street corner—bitterness against the great,' unfeeling city rankling In his heart-—'Tom did not know. ; He was startled from his -moody ,reverie -by- hearing a hoarse, wheedling voice at bis very elbow, saying "what was In­ tended as'a confidential tone: “How’d ' y’llke a nice hot feed , and some. coin to jingle in yer pants.bo?

The sinister appearance of the rdifc: .flan repelled Tom, and the very thought of the crime they contemplat­ ed struck him with fright It meant jail, disgrace^ if they .were caught. “But I—I never have done any­ thing like that in my life,” he stam-' mered weakly, teeth chattering in the biting wind. “It would be criminal. The whisky doesn’t belong to us. It 'would be illegal for us even to try to sell it afterwards.” “Pah!’’ spat the ugly-visaged man, sneeringly. “You look pretty, a bird Uke youse, talking. that way. about what’s lawful and-all that!

"We’ll meet cha at the corner by the lumber yard at 1:30. Don’t you fall to be there nOw!” “I won’t I I’ll be there all right!" Tom muttered brokenly. Already In bis cringing soul he felt like the thief he had pledged himself to become. Oh heaven. If only— To kill time until the appointed hpur, he dug his numb bands deeper down into his pockets and wandered aimlessly On. He had no particular objective In mind save only the need to keep, moving lest he freeze, or go mad With the strain of waiting.. He shrank fi-om letting himself thinkv of tie. deed to which he was'about to be party. ’ Involuntarily his dragging -footsteps took him back into the more brilliant­ ly lighted retail shopping- district, where the crowds already had thinned, hurrying home to their families and happy, expectant kiddies With the holi­ day celebration in mind. . The bours dragged slowly by. It came near the hour for the stores to dose. But still there was time, if -poor Tom had only had money, to have rushed In, bought; the. presents he wanted for the old folks and chil­ dren, and caught the midnight train, back to the' country.

They are married and set out i i for the unknown country. Alec Mc-; ferae, pioneer settler and adviser of? I newcom ers,proves an -invaluable! i friend. Leaving* his' wife with thei \family of a fellow settler, Fred A r-; f thurs, HarrTs. and McCrae journey f ! over the prairie and select a home-! I stead. Mary Insists on accompanying j ;h!m when he takes possession. CHAPTER II—Continued. Darkness was settling down—dark­ ness of the seventh night since their departure from Dmeitspu-Whent like n mule ou the face of the plain, a. lit­ tle gray lump grew ori the horizon. Arthurs rose in Ills sleigh and waved his fur cap in the air; Harris sent I back an answering cheer. Slowly the I mole grew until in the gathering shad-' I ows It took on Indistinctly the shape of a building, and just as the rising moon crested the ridge of the Pembi­ na liiils the travelers swung up at -the door. Artlvurswalked nnerringly toa nail on the wall and took down a lan­ tern; Its dull flame drove the mist slowly down the glass, and presently the light was beating back from the glistening frost which sparkled on ev­ ery log of the little room. “Well, here we are in Hungry Hall,” said Arthurs. “Everything just as I left it.” Then, turning, to his wife,. “Come, 'LU,” he said. '“Jack, perhaps you have an engagement of your own.” He took his wife in a passionate em­ brace and planted a fervent kiss upon; her lips, while Harris followed his ex­ ample, Then- they sat . down'on the boxes that served for chairs, amld's~ happiness too deep for words. * * * So the minutes passed until Mrs. Ar­ thurs sprang to her feet. “Why, Mary,” she exclaimed, “I do believe you’re crying,” while the moisture' glistened on her own cheek. “Now, you men, clear out! I suppose you think the horses will stable them­ selves? Yes, I see you have the. box full of wood, Fred. That’s not so bad for a start. Leave some matches, and say, you might just get otir boxes' in here. Bemember we’ve lived in these clothes for .the best part of two weeks.” The young men sprang to their- task, and as soon as they were out of the house the girls, threw their arms ‘about each other and wept like women to­ gether, It was only for a moment; a quick dash of the. hand across the eyes, and both were busy' removing coats and wraps. The - door opened, , and their “boxes,” as liWell as other equipment froni the'sleighs, were car­ ried. in, and: the inen/ disappeared to the little stable at, the back of the house. After several attempts the girls succeeded in starting, a hre in the rusted stove, and soon its grateful heat was radiating to every corner of the room. The house was built of poplar logs, hewed and dove-tailed at the comers with the skill of the Ontario woods­ man. It was about 12x16 feet In size, with ccllar-beams eight feet , from'the floor. The roof was of two thick; nesses of elm boards, with tar paper between. The floor was ■ of poplar boards. The door was in'the east side, near the southeast comer; the stove, stood about the center of tie a east wall. Tlie only window was In f the south; six panes of 8x10 glass suf­ ficed for light. Through this window another lantern shone back from the darkness, and ^ie flickering lightfrom the stove danced In duplicate. A rough board table sat under the,window; a ' box nailed In the-southwest corner ev­ idently' served as cupboard.- No tools or • movables of any .value had been left in tlie place, Arthurs having stored snch effects with a neighbor,- some dozen miles away, lest they be stolen - from the cabin by some unscrupulous traveler during his absence. The days Jb at followed were days ...of Interise activity-for both men,and women. Tliere was much to do, in­ side and out. In the Interior of the little bouse - an extraordinary change was wrought; simple draperies and pictures relieved the bareness of the walls; shelves were built for the ae* commodatlon of many trinkets, dear to the feminine heart; a rag. carpet1 pot; ered the center of the floor; plain but appetizing' dishes peeked enUcirigiy. from behind the paper, curtain, that now; plothed . Ote bare, ribs of thp cup-, board; a'nd a^sense.'ot homeliness! pefei , vaded.the:atmosphere..

But with supper'ended,' his pipe In his teeth and his feet resting comfortably. In the oven, lie broached his subject. “Ready for the road.: in the morn- in, Jack? Don’t want" to break up your little honiiymoon, y’ know, but the month is wearing on. Nothing but horseback for it how, an’ they do say the settlers are crowding up ,some­ thing wonderful. The best land’s go­ ing fast. Most of them' will hold up. now, with the roads breaking, but by slipping out on our. horses we can lo­ cate an’ file before the real spring rush opens.. You should get some kind of shelter up before the frost is out Of the ground, so’s to lose no time from plowing once the spring opens.” Harris needed no Urging, and in thej, early morning the two men, with blan­ kets and provisions, started out on1 horseback for the still farther west. Harris soon found that more judgment was required In the/ selection of a prairie farm than he had supposed, and" he congratulated himself upon having fallen in with so experienced a plainsman os McCrae. “This is good enough for me,” said Harris at length, as their horses crest­ ed a little elevation from which the prairie stretched away in all direc­ tions. smooth as a table. “Isn’t it mag- “Isn’t It-Magnificent! AM Free for. the Taking!’' nificent! And all free for the tak­ing I” ' ’ V J - “It’s pretty to look a t” * said Mc- Crae, “but I guess you didn’t come west for scenery, did you?” ' ' “Well, what's the matter with It? LoOk at that grass. If the,soil, wasn’t all right it wouldn’t grow native crops like that, would it?” “The soil’s all right," answered. Mc­ Crae. “Nothing better anywhere, an' you can plow 160.acres to every quar­ ter section. But this Is In ..the frost belt. They get it every. August—some­ times July. We’ve got to get further west yet, into the higher, land of the Turtle mountain slopes.'! know there’s good stuff there that hasn’t been tak- en.” .. '• .. . ' And so they pressed on, until, In the bright sunshine, the blue line of thq Tuktle mountain lay like a lake on. thfe.:Western horizon. ’ Many times In their explorations they passed over sections 'that Harris would have accepted, but; McCrae ob­ jected,, finding always; some flaw not apparent to Jhe untrained. eye. At length Uiey rode■ over a quarter where McCrae -turned his horse and rode back again. Forward .pnd back, for­ ward and back: they rode the 160 acres until not a rood of it had escaped their scrutiny. On the southeast: cor­ ner a stream, In a ravine of some depth, "cut . off av triangle of a few acres' extent,' 0 therwlse. lt was prat­ tle sod, almost level,-,with yellow, clay lying at the badger holes. , Down In the ravine, where thSy had-been 'shel­ tered from fire,. were red willows, choke .cherry- bushes, and a few little poplars,-and birches; a -wlndlng'pond -marked- the ■ course* ,of- the stream, which wab running in considerable vol­ ume, Even-as they stood -on the bank* a grerit cracking was heard, and-huge blocks of- ice rose to the surface of the pond. -Some of these'as_they rose turned partly oh their'edge, showing two-smooth sides , ; ‘!Good I” exclalmed-STcOrae.; fThere’s some .depth of water, -there, BThat^ond- hasp’t'Trozen solid,’ or the ice Wouldn’t jjOme.Up, like fhaf, ,Thaqnfeans' water all-.winter for.

Places, too, if you. like, Avhere there are men. to say a good word for Aleck McCrae. How’s that suit you?”, ?. Harris took; bis friend’s hand In a warm grip. ,He. rightly guessed that McCrae was not',bartering his services for hospitality,' but was making it easy for Harris to accept them by ap­ pearing to bargain for a service in re­ turn. So they shooi. hands together on the side * of the bank t , erlookihg the little coulee, and as they looked in each other’s eyes -Harris realized for the first time that McCrae was still a young man. A sense of com-* radeship: came over him—a feeling that this man whs more of A, brother than a father, w ith admiring eyes he looked :om McCrae’s. fine face, his broad shoulders, his. wonderful phy­ sique, - .andV- tlie' question he,, asked sprang from' his Ups before he could: arrest i t ' , ’ . “Wliy don’t you get married, Mac?” • “Who, 'me?” said McCrae, laughing; but Harris, detected a tone ih: his voice fhaf ,was; not -Oil happiness, and the thought ,came to/him- that Hc- Crae’s , craving for hospitality might root deeper than ;he, supposed. , : “It’s a long ride-to the, land o&ce,” continued McCrae, “an’ you'can’t.file a minute toofsoon. *. We’d ,better find a corner post' an’ make sure, of the num­ ber of this section, an’1 put as much rood behind us. as we can tonight.” , ■ After filing at the land' office Harris returned at;once to the Arthurs’ home­ stead. The news that the -Harrises were to. be neighbors within 40 miles was received with enthusiasm by boBf Fred and Lilian Arthurs. 1 But Har* ris was now consumed with a burhing; enetgy; he allowed himself only a precious, half..day at, the home of the Arthurses, bade his wife an affection­ ate farewell, and, with a cheery good- by to the warm friends. On the home­ stead, he was away down, the.trail to. Emerson. On arrival at Emerson one, of the first men he met was Tom Morrison. The'two pioneers shook hands warm­ ly, and in a'few words Harris told of- having selected ‘ his claim, waxing en­ thusiastic over Oie locality' ih which his lot was to be cast. “I must get out there myself,” said Morrison. ’ '-V'- :'. ' “Do,” Harris’- urged. “There are; some. Other fine quarters. In the neigh­ borhood,' and nothing, would, be better than .to have you on one of them” ; The. wesf-bound ‘trip was-, made :in good time, although not without diffi­ culty ,at, some points in the road, and before the tenth of Aprli H arris; was hack' under' the shelter of Arthurs’ roof. He’was for pressing on albne In the morning, but he found that his wife, had made oll' her plans to ac- company him and would listen neither to persuasion nor reason. !1Buf, Mary, there’s no house, and no shelter; and no neighbors—nothing but sky and grass as.far as you can see.’ “AU the, more reason I shonId go,” she answered. “Tf you have to rough^ It fn the open: you at least deserve your' meals cooked for you, and such other help as; a woman can give. . I. really, must be with you.. I really mupt,'John, and you knotv—Tm go­ ing.’’ .'V SSo at last he consented. The sup­ plies of provisions were increased, and * together they. Set out 'to wrestle their fortunes from 'the wilderness;; Oh" arrival at tfie homestead the ,young wife immediately gave evidencd that slie Intenflefi to bear her full share of the pioneer’s:fluties, ''K cqifi-; paratively dry spot was found - among the Uttle poplars; and- here she built a tent with blankets and a -bit’ of. rag carpet that came -In most; handy -for such purposes. Their stove - was set up,, and: although it smoked -stubborn­ ly for: lack of.draught, it furnished heat for cooking, and when Jack re- ■ turned from . tethering the .horpes. th« smell of frying ham. and hot tea struck his nostrils. \ ’ ’!Well, • that’s better than rustling for -myself, I will admit,” he said.

' “ (Prepared by National Geographic Society) f "F AJjL the territory that was freed from an alien yoke by the great war, few regions continue: to hold the world’s general interest and few awaken the deep emotions as. does Palestine, H o ly Land of both Jew. and Gentile, and Jerusalem, the most sacred shrine of two of the world’s greatest religions. While the Turks, masters In Jeru­ salem for four hundred -years, per­ mitted travelers to visit the Holy-City; and while thousands of Jewish and Christian pilgrims passed within its walls and even took up: their abode there, the Moslem rule was none too satisfactory when measured by west­ ern standards. Now that the World war has rescued Jerusalem from the Mohammedan ally, of Germany and has led to the placing of all Palestine under the mandate of a western power, the Jews who return to: the land o f' their fathers and their- prophets, and the Christians who visit the birthplace of their religion are as­ sured of on atmosphere more.to-their liking. Since the allies under Gem Allenby entered Jerusalem December 11, 1817, after driving out the Turks, and since' the Supreme Council of the Allied Powers placed the mandate for Pales­ tine in Great Britain, April 25, .1920,. a system of western jurisprudence. has grown up, ppllce policies-have been modified, and steps have been taken to improve sanitation and to plan.the future growth of the city along more desirable lines In so far as 'arrange­ ment and sanitation are concerned, but so that the newer portions will conform architecturally as nearly, as possible to the characteristic archi­ tecture of the old city. The greatest physical boon to. Jerusalem ,resulting from the new dis­ pensation is a generous supply of pure water piped into the city by the British within a few months after the expulsion of the Turks, which dis­ placed the dirty, disease-breeding cis­ terns upon which the residents of the. city were previously dependent It was only necessary for the mod­ ern engineers to clean out an old Roman tank near Bethlehem, to lead the waters of a spring Into it, and to. 'ay a pipe line to the city—and one of Jerusalem's age-long needs was filled. Kot only does the control of a west­ er;, power In Palestine promise In gen­ eral a better day for the Jews and Cluistians who desire to visit the country or live there, but the situa­ tion is immeasurably .bettered for the Jews by the specific statement of the biipreme Council of tne Allied Pow­ ers when the mandate was given to Great Britain that their object was thnt of the Balfour government: “The establishment In Palestine of a nation­ al home for the Jewish people.-. . • • . It being clearly, understood that nothing shall be done which-may Prejudice the existing civil and- re- h&ious rights of existing nop-Jewish communities In Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any, other country,” ’ Even in the latter years of. Turkish rule, the Zion movement led thou­ sands of Jews to Palestine. These were virile people, of the younger gen­ erations, not the. aged and decrepit Jews who in the early part of- the past century Journeyed to the Holy Land to end their days ' there and .were maintained In. Idleness in .the. mean­ time by pensions from Jews In other lands., ,There, .are a score, of . such Zionist colonies in Judea with an, ag­ gregate .membership of 15,000. The Moslems recognized , these young, in­ dustrious colonists as good !citizens. A water supply that-flows through. Irbn pipes and brings In its train taps and valves and other adjuncts of mod­ ern plumbing is not the only-striking physical- Improvement which has come to Jerusalem as a result of the -war. Before the great conflict the only rail­ road entering Jerusalem was a, nar­ row gauge line from'-the port of Jaf­ fa; and "use of that route' by travel­ ers involved a- none too pleasant trip ,to Jaffa on a ' coasting steam er.In the conquest of !Palestine the British forces constructed a- nevy railway roughly parallel with the Mediterra­ nean coast, and travelers may. now make-the journey to Jerusalem, from the Suez canal entirely by rail Ih comfortable equipment in twelve hours , or less. The railroads do not enter the wall­ ed city but come to an end at a sta­ tion an the plains to the southwest. The; first view of the city for one who travels by rail,, therefore, w iir be the newer . Jerusalem that lias sprung up outside the 'walls—a city of -religious and social institutions, ‘ for the .most, part, erected Tby orders and societies of -Christians and Jews from all climes. Many of these buildings lie to the west of the old city and are visible from the station. Later, the traveler will learn, there are many more- buildings' to the north and to the northeast toward the Mount of Olives, and a fewer number ’to the south and southeast. ' ■ / Though Jerusalem is surrounded by relatively modem - buildings,, and though the war has brought about some striking changes In its physical equipment, the American, who may be planning a trip to this-shrine of his- faith need no't fear that he will find a modern city which has lost the charm and Interest of aget. Once In the older parts of the city.he will-find what be can well believe were the streets along which Jesus and his dis­ ciples passed nearly .two thousand years ago. Here narrow, ways-faced; by ancient stone dwellings wind with many turns, passing, now and then through or under buildings by way of dark, ill-smelling tunnels. Camels and donkeys with heavy loads pass, pi­ loted- by shouting drlvers.- The- crowds in the - streets present,W a A p (S ziz)J ia zg S fX fa p f S tX F S f 5- a colorful picture, their voices a Babel of sounds. They are far different from the crowds of Bible time for Christianity, Islam and Judaism have each drawn to Jerusalm pilgrim from the ends of, the earth. Arabian from the desert jostle impeccably-dressed Europeans ; Turks rub shoulders with orthodox-Jews in broad-brimmed hat» and -long ■ dusterlike robes or with younger, mdre' alert Jews in modem western garb; Armehiahi Greek and Latin priests' thread their way through, the throngs; monks of various orders mareh-.along; here and there a hooded nun or veiled Moslem woman passes; and in the seething mass are Chris­ tian pilgrims from- every country un­ der heaven. , >. . - Many of the spots In, ana about Jerusalem, held in. reverence hecause they played, a; part In the lives of the great characters of the Old,Testament, or were : made holy -by, associations with the life of Christ, cannot be au­ thentically located. There is no doubt, however, as to, the site, of Solomon’s temple, and for that reason as well as because the spot is. revered by. Jew,. Christian, and Moslem, It is one. of the: points of most general Interest In the Holy City. The domlnant bulld-' tag on the tgmple site at the present time is the Mohammedan mosque Cf Omar. The- mosque is erected over a great rock about WhIchIlthe'holy traditions of three religions duster.. Before any - religious edifices were erected In Jerusalm the old Israelites are reputed to have made their burnt offerings'to Jehovah- on this, rough nat­ ural altar. ■ Over the - rock Solomon later - built , his world-famous -temple, and;It- is supposed that ths Ark. of the CovenantKwas - set tip. upon the great stone. In a Small cavern In the rock, tradition- says,' Solomon first perform­ ed the rltes of Mfisonry.' In the mid­ dle, ages the dirusaders worshiped at this craggy shrine, from -which Titus had torn the great temple; and when the Saracens and later the Turks came: into control Of Jerusalem, . Moham­ medan mosques were erected on the site. 1 The sacredness with which -the Moslems look upon the great rock Ms Indicated by their tradition that Mo­ hammed decreed that “a . prayer-there ’is worth a thousand elsewhere." One of the most important of the purely Christian shrines In Jernsalem is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which is a restoration: of a church of the same name erected by Constantine the Great, first Christian emperor of Rome. This- church is supposed -to bo erected over the sepulcher In: ,which the body of Jesus was laid after it was taken from the' cross. While his­ torians are: not entirely satisfied that the sepulcher inclosed In the church Is the: true- burial place of-Jesus, ac­ ceptance of the tradition has made it one of the- most sacred Cf sacred spots to the- thousands of Christian pilgrims1 who flock, to the Holy City qnnualty. “Instinct and Reason’’ Those who talk of “instinct” as taking the place -rf reason In the lower animals have utterly failed to explain u'ls flock, pr unit, "instinct” whtah governs the actions of many different kinds of birds.

Useful Hay Crop. r Sorghum is most useful as a hay crop m the southern states because of its ceftainty of producing a crop and on account of the failure of ordinary hay crops, such as timothy and alfalfa, in that section. Both the sweet sor­ ghums and the grain sorghumS are ex­ cellent silage crops. The department advi es tbat stockmen In the great plains area can avoid the loss of thou­ sands of cattle by feeding s&rghum silage which has been stored at a small expense in pit silos. The principal varieties of the sweet sorghum, considered from a forage standpoint^are the: Minnesota A m herl Red Amber, Orange, Sumac, Honey and • Gooseneck. *The grain, sorghums most valuable, for forage are the Black- hull, Red, Htak and Dwarf kafirs. r.

FARM TOOLS Farmer Must Stand Pratty High Acre Charge on Most of His Labor-- - Saving Devices. . The life of farm tools is short at the best and if a tool is given shelter Its life depends upon1 the number of acres it has covered. If the tool is left out all winter its life is not de­ pendent upon the number of acres It covers but upon bow long it can re­ sist the elements... It may be Interest­ ing to know the average Ufe of some common, tools.' A manure spreader is useful, on the average,'eight years; the sulky -plow Is good for- twelve years of hard work, while the average, life, of .mowing machines, side deliv­ ery: rakes gnd gas engines is twelve years. If-a person,will take the first cost and then add on to It the interest on the investment-and annual depre­ ciation, taxes, etc.,' then divide'this sum by the number of acres he has used it over; In most cases he. will find that he has a -pretty high acre charge on most of the tools he keeps. Grain binders will show, an . acre charge of about sixty cents; grain: drills twenty-six vents;, com planters twenty-two cents; hay loaders seventy- five cents and disk harrows fortyrflve cents;4 • OVERCOME CHESTNUT BLIGHT HybWd Tree* Are Quite Resistant to Disease and Produce Nuts of Good Flavor.

To determine which is the more profitably it is necessary to consider many facts, among which -are, the power requirements of the farm, the' size of the power-units, requlre'd, the quality^ of work to be accomplished, the displacement of one formpf power by. the application of another, the total possible (utilization of each. form of power, the comparative, cost of. opera- tiontwith the different forms of power, the relation between the kitid pf pOWer and the effectiveness of farm; labor, and the effect upon the profits, of the farm as a whole. The United States Department of Agrlcnlthfe has :-made a study of power units on O-Uumber of represent­ ative farms with a view to showing how the various farm operations ere* ate demands for dlfferent-slzed power units, and to what extent power re­ quirements are influenced by .the type of farming. - The tosults of . this study, summarized In.a publication entitled “The Horse Power Problem on the Farm,” will be. found of value to. the farmer who is contemplating a Change In the form of power used oh his farm.

New York, and Sabath1 democrat, IIJinois1 leaders of Cthe opposition. Pibponents of the hill, however, were not dismayed and said they were confident of favor­ able disposition of the measure. TIhe Mann' amendment actually limits the restriction period to one year, reducing by one-half period originally proposed. the’ New President of Austria. Vienna—Dr.. Michal Hainisch was elected president of Austria by the national assembly.

Would Put Great Burden of Taxation Upon the Backs of The Victims of The Plunderers and Profiteers. Washington.—Secretary Houston’s recommendations in his annual report that excess profits taxes be repealed and the higher brackets of income surtaxes be reduced were attacked by Representative Kitchin qf North Carolina, ranking democratic member of the house ways and-means commit­ tee as “the most unwise, unjust, un­ democratic and pro-republican that ever emanated from any department of the government" since its begin niag.” “The whole intent and policy of his recommendations” Mt. Kitciiin contin­ ued, “are to relieve the corporate in­ terest! and millionaries, who for the last four years have plundered and profiteered upon the people to the ex­ tent of fifty billions of dollars, of a billion .and a half or two . billions of dollars of taxes anually and place that amount upon the backs of the people that are the victims, of sues plunderers and profiteers.

W hile I look down (or tip) a mil­ lion miles, And wonder why'those people nev­ er knew How square I was before my spirit flew. When I cash in, I shall not care a yen For all the praise th at’s heaped Up- - on me then; Serene and silent in my narrow box, I shall not heed the praises or the knocks, And all the pomp and all the vain display Will be just fuss and feathers thrown away. So, tell me now, while I am on the earth, Your estimate of what my friend­ ship's worth— Oh, tell me what a loyal chap I am And fill me full of taffy and of jam. Spread it good, like honey’s spread on bread— Don’t wait to shoot the bunk when I am dead. —Author Unknown, but sounds a lot like W alt Mason. Poor Harding Some people who dont know any better actually believe the mills and factories ara shutting down because Harding was elected. They are to be pieted. Some people who know better say the way the elect ion-went is causing all this unrest. They do it for po­ litical effect. y But we fear the worst has not coine yet. It has beeu so when all wars and war inflated values and prices begun to come back normal. Harding hasn’t taken his seat yet. Then Calvin Coolidge and Tom Watson hasn’t taken hold of that Senate yet, nor Mr. Bulwinkle the House yet, nor Morrison the Gov­ ernor’s chair yet. There is fun jhst ahead. - Exchange.

President-elect H atding may not have intended it as such -but in man y quarters his refusal to accept President W ilson's invitation to make the trip to Panam a, aboard the battleship will biicdn^iderhd as an unkind rebuff of the' President’s proffered courtsy. As. Conunander- in-Cheif of the American navy; Mr. Wilson’s instructors to Secretary Daniels was equivalent to an order that Mr. Harding be invited to make the trip South as the guest of the President of the United States. Adid that fact makes the President-elect's telegram declining the invitation niore significant than, the declina­ tion o f'a n ordinary invitation. Then, too, it is not the cusiom in this country for citizens decline in­ vitations extended them by their President unless there is some deep­ er and more sinister reason than that given by Mr. Harding. “ The enemies- of; the President may retain the contnued sympathy of the American public in theii studied effort to discredit and har- rass tlie sick man in the W hite house.

It will be recalled that Abraham Lincoln, when he believe that Gen­ eral McClellan would be elected, Wrote and put in a sealed envelope a inemoradum, to be opened after his defeat, declaring that it would be opened acter his defeat, declaring that it would be the first duty of his Administration, as it wished to save the Union to tender General McClellan its undivided ‘ support and assistance.—Union Republican. Election Rascality. One of the most glaring instances of crooked methods practiced by- the Southern Democratic oligarchy is reported from Montgomery and St. Georges county, Maryland. At an extra costs to the voters in each county of $2.00 per thousand, the ballots were so folded that a Demo­ cratic vote may cast withouc open­ ing Up the sheet, but a Republican vote necessitated the spreading ‘out of ballot and a double refold. When the folding was not done exactly as it had been originally Democratic eledtion -,officials insisted upon throwing out the ballots... Sixty- three Republican votes were thus thrown out in one of -the 20 pre­ cincts of Sff1Georges county. Under ordinary conditions th is. scottndre- Iism would have; been sufficient to insure Democratic. success but .- the landslide ^oFNovember - s®d-"was so overwhelming that St..

The bond is the amount given following the shooting. Lauier, who lost his left arnras the result of the shot alleged to have been fired at him by Owen, was the only witness offered by the state. He testified he was at a corn shuck­ ing near Fulton’s Ferry on the night of the trouble and when he saw a car approaching the ferry, of which he was keeper, went out and asked Owen and Frank Hoover, a negro also in the car, if they Wanted to cross the bridge. They replied they did and he stood on the running board until the feny was reached. When he started to unloose the fer­ ry chain, he testified, Owen got out of the car and said he didn’t want to cross but had been -‘wanting a chance to get you.” W hen Owen drew a pistol, testified Lanier, the later drew up his left hand and the bullet penetrated his forearm He dropped to the ground and the piste I was snapped at him three times more, he said.

REPUBLICANS GAIN IN THE LEGISLATURE.’ * ! ■ Raleigh, Dec. 4.—The Demo­ crats lost one seat in the State se­ nate and two seats iu the house in November elections, according to comparisons made by Legislative Reference Librarian Henry Loriday The General Assembly which will convene here on January 5, 1921' will have 39 Democracs and 1 i Re­ publicans in senate and 91 Demo­ crats and ' 29 Republicans in the house. In the 1919 senate there were forty Democrats and ten Rer publicans, while the house had 93 and 27 Republicans. — The only political upset in the senate came in the thirty-fourth distric where the unusually large Republican majority of* W atauga county overcame the Democratic majorities in Alleghany and Ashe counties, sending a. Republican to senate. The heavy voting of Re­ publican women in Watauga- coun­ ty is responsible for the Republican victory in the district,1 political leaders from that section declare. T he Democrats this year ^oyefturn­ ed Republican majorities in Ashe, Orange and Polk countries, but they lost Caldwell, Jackson, Stanly Transylvania.’ and Yancy counties.

Thnt nlglit, before the darkness had guttered too deep, they selected the site of their house on the very bench that McGrae had 1 Indicated. Xt was nhiNit an acre in extent,. and stood lialfwav between the prairie level and tlio bottom/ of the coulee, where' a small river was now running. *! * * It was quite dark when they, sought thii cover of their little tent, and the wolves were howling far down the ra­ vine. PresidMitly they were startled by a' crashing noise, as of some big'ani­ mals rushing upon them through the poplars, and the horses, in headlong haste, almost swept over their Eleep- in.L' place. "That wolf howl put the fear into the silly brutes,” said Harris, speak­ ing calmly, although his own flesh was creeping just a little. “I suppose tliey’ve ripped their tether ropes to pieces. Well, we’ll tie them down-, here, where they’ll have company.” And he le;l them back a short distance into Mie bushes. ■ A moment later, suddenly,’ os if con-, gealecl out of thin 'air, on the bank, right above them, silhouetted against; the dim light in the western sky, stood; a horse and rider. Instantly Harris’: mind came a warning of JicCrae: ‘‘Sleep with one eye open when your horses are tethered out.** 1 Harris had no proof that the strange rider was a horse thlej, but it struck kirn at the moment that tiie terror of the horses might not have been due al­ together to wolves. He stole silently toward the tent. There was a gun there, loaded .with shot for any possible game on the prai­ rie. A3 he moved in the deep dark­ ness of the valley he stumbled over a root iMd fell. Tlie same moment came a flash of light on the bank, and Har­ ris heard the “thuk” of a ball bury­ ing itself in the sod. He lay perfeatly still. The strang'er peered Into the darkness for a full minute; then, dis- mounting, began to come cautiously down die hillside. Harris would have rushed for his gun, but he feared to reveal the whereabouts of his wife-. So lie lay still, and the stranger came on, the glint- of his gun barrel showing in the darkness. It was evident lie thought his bullet had found its mark, ami he proposed still to possess him- SPlf of the horses. But he was taking, no chances. Presently he discerned Harris’ body on the ground, and again raised his gun to his shoulder. Har­ ris lay in. an agony of suspense, pray­ ing that the aim would be faulty, and that his assailant would advance un­ til he could spring up and disarm him. Tiien came another flash, a loud re­ port, a yell from the intruder, who liaff fell to earth, then scrambled to his feet, rushed up the bank, pulled himself somewhat limply on his horse, j , and rode into the darkness. .. . “Oh, Jack, are you killed?” cried' tho girl, rushing in his direction. . . “Xot even hurt,” he answered; and she fainted in his arms. He carried her to the tent and ap­ plied water to her forehead. As he was engaged in restoring her his hand fell on his gun. The barrel was hot. Heraiscd her face to his, and kissed “er again and again. In the morning they found a few orops of blood on the grass at the top- of the bank. Harris and his wife allowed them­ selves no time for nerve strata over Jhe experience of their first nlght on their homestead.- The next morning,- Jfter caring for their dows, they hitched the horses to the wagon, took ttD ax, a saw, their gun, and a lunch, and set out for the' valley; returning ®t® at night with sufficient logs and Poles for the framework, of their-holKe Md stable. The next day construe; oa was commenced; Four stout posts. W6rTofiet on en<*' enclosing a rectangle^xie feet. The top3 of the posts were connected by logs laid dfion them, 'hiti,ilPd at the comers after the w-shion of woodsmen, and held In po- hni°R 1,1 wooden, pins driven In auger tn ? Lengthwise along the center, j. ™ a ridge pole, another stout - was laid and the whole framework' ^hipHrtea by additional posts,. among two on the east.side toeb- BiaLil!> floor‘ Small poles'were' theii. ffnni °n end’ sloping slightly iit' l0;r„ 8 resting against the piate thcni “J-n’I,ar poles were • IaiaV froini fwt tCroo? t0 ^ ®Uria found a southern slope where the frost was out enough to admit to him plowing some' sods. He plowed them, three inches thick and 14.inches wide, and cut them into two-foot lengths With his ax, to the sad" injury of Its cutting edge. These sods were then built into a wall like bricks, rest­ ing gently against the framework of poles, from which, however, they were separated by a padding of grass, which Harris cut In a slough with his scythe, and small willows irom' the ravine. This mattress of grass and willows prevented'any earth shaking through. Into the house, itself. A framework made of a hewn log was inserted In the south wall to leave'Epace for a window, which should be bought when the family finances could afford such luxuries. For the time being it would be left open in fine weather and cov­ ered-with canvas when the elements were gruff or unruly. The rag carpet, when no longer needed as a tent, would be draped In the doorway, pending the purchase of boards tQ make a wooden .door. ' ■' For a roof grass was laid on the poles and covercd tightly with sods. Then Harris found a sticky, yellow clay -In.- the side of the ravine, and two or three inches of this he spread carefully over the sods, like icing on a great cake. The greasy clay soon hardened in the sun, ail'd became so impervious to water that the heaviest rains of summer made no impression upon it. By this time the snpw was all gone, ' except In north Jacing nooks aloiig the ravine, and the frost was out of the sod in all places deep enough to admit of plowing.- As the stock were taking no harm from the open air, thanks to the shelter.of the ravine, Harris, de­ cided to. delay the construction of his stable until- after seeding and' to pro­ ceed at once with the plowing of his land. He had also to make a .trip to “Not Even Hurt,” He Answered, and- She Fainted in His Arms. Arthurs’ for seed grain, Qnd to bor-, row, a couple of sections of drag har­ rows. With it ail, by the middle of. 'May he had sown 15 acres of wheat,' and notwithstanding a heavy snowfall about the tw.enty-thfrd, by the first of June he had added ten acres of oats. With his“ help Miuy had planted a small garden of potatoes and vegeta­ bles, and a few flowers were spring­ ing up at the door of the house. CHAPTER III. TJte Shores ofthe Infinite. The summer was a season of great activity an4 development. Harris did not sow any crop after the first Of June, but upplie'd himself then to the construction of his stable, which was built after the, same'; fashion as the house. As AfcCrae ha<] predicted, there was a considerable movement of settlers into the district and at several points their tente or rude houses now broke rthe vast sweep of the horizon. ■ Tom MoiTlson had found land to the satis­ faction of .his heart within Oiree miles of the Harris homestead, and his big log house, 18x24, assumed the propor­ tions of a- castle by comparison‘with the smaller; homes Springing lip around;1 Sdme miles to the east Dick Matheson, straight, from the lumber camps of- the Madawaski,' had. pitched. his ’tent," and &' few miles, farther on was his 'friend1 of the shanties, John ,-Burton. To the west: were the Grants, and to the rioiih: Hiram RiIeS and his wife, EJiza. A missionary had in some! way spied <iut the field, and held monthly Sunday services at Morrison’s ,house’; and X^r. BlHin, wben not in on.e of his unfortunate debauches, had his h««dq.uarters at ‘the • new town of ,Plalnvilie,; which' conslst^d oi .Semp^ 1 ttafeT general store aiid'- a “stopping ^ p tiiM ^tH fM w ay .; ;:And sO the first summer wore away and the first harvest w as-at hand. Any disappointment'which had been occasioned by backward conditions earlier in. the season was effaced by the wonderful crop ' which now crowned-the efforts ,of the pioneers. On their finest eastern farms they bad seen nothing to equal the great stand of wheat and oats which now envel­ oped them, neck-high, whenever they invaded it Tlie great problem before the. settlers ,was the harvesting of; this crop. It was a mighty task to at­ tempt with their scythes, but there was . no ^seltbinder, or' even reaper, WithJn many miles. ,. Finally Morrison solved the problem for .the whole community by placing an order, at a fabulous figure,-for-a self-binder from the Unlted States. It was a cumbrous, - wooden frame con­ trivance, guiltless of the roller bear­ ings, floating aprons, open .elevators, and sheaf carriers Cf a later.day,-,but it served the purpose, and with. Its aid the harvest of the little settlement Was safely placed In. sheaf. The farm­ ers'; then stacked their grain In 'the fields, taking care to Plow double fire­ guards, with a bucnt space between, as-a precaution against-the terrifying fires'which broke over .the pi^iirie as soon as the Septernber frosts had dried the grass. A, community some, 20 miles to the eastward boasted .a threshing mill, and arrangements were jnade for. its use .after it had, discharged, the du- tles of its Ofm iocaiity. .. , When Harris’ thrashing was done he found he had 600 bushels of wheat and 700 bushels of ; oats in cone-shaped piles on his fields. The roads were fine and lmrd, and no snow had yet fallen, sot'he determined to begin at once with tlie marketing of his wheat'. His last cent had been spent months before; indeed, it had been only through the courtesy oi the storekeep­ er' at Plainville, who was also post­ master, and who had stretched the . law to the point of accepting hen eggs as legal tender in exchange for post­ age stamps, that Mary Harris had- been able to keep up the brave, opti­ mistic series of letters written “home.” So Harris decided that he Would at once market some of his wheat. Most1 of the oats would be needed for his horses and for seed, and What re­ mained would command good prices from new settlers the following spring, but softie'of the wheat must be turned into money at once. During the lat­ ter part of the summer they had lived exclusively on’ .the produce of their farm; on vegetables from the garden, fish and ducks from the stream, prai­ rie chickens, and . an occasional rab­ bit from the fields. The wild geese had deserted them early in the spring, and returned only after harvest But now they should have a change on their table. JIary had accepted the pioneer fare of the summer without complaint, but of late HaiTis.. had discovered, a strange longing in her eyes, and morel than once she had arrested herself in the words “I wish we had——” Then two penitent little tears would steal softly down her cheeks, and she would bury her head in his arms as he soothed her with loving words and promised that “after thrashing things would be different.” .So now' he set out for Emerson with the best load his horses could, draw. The first few miles he drbve in silence, for there was. a, heavy weight at his heart as lie thought of the little wife alone with the .responsibilities of the' farm. *. * » That she would be faith­ ful to every responsibility he knew beyond question. * * * But he was not quite satisfied. A strange moodl- pess had come over her, ana even with him at home she had at tim&s given way to fits of downheartedness which seemed altogether alien to her nature. Ten-. days later he retraced' his course in-the teeth of a blinding bliz­ zard. A dozen times he had been lost in the last 48 hours, but he had devel­ oped the prairie dweller’s sense of di­ rection, and had - always been- able again to - locate the trail. The ■ Ar­ thurs would have detained him, al­ most by force, but Uie thought of a pale, patient face, wrung with an ag­ ony of anxiety, not foritself, made him adamant in his resolve-to go home at whatever cost - The roads were almost impassable; he left his lumber at Ar- tours’, -but carried with him his win­ dow, a few boards for a door, and a Uttie bundie of dry, goods.' ‘ Everything else had'gone by the-way surrendered In exchange for food and shelter for himself and horses. .

Points About New Underthings J l T HERE are several good points about the new undergarments which have been' presented for the annual January sales, and this state­ ment is to be taken both literally and figuratively. It Is true that points abouf the bottom, or other edges of garments, have taken tlie place' of hems and that pointed pieces of fa^_ brics are used In many ingenious ways In constructing chemise, night dresses, camlsofes and the Iike- There are points and points; some wide and deep, some small and sharp, and they are most -ingeniously used. Right along with them the scallop flourishes in almost as great variety and quite as ingeniously. Aside from these two features there are-no startling departures from fa­ miliar styles- In uuderthings. It is noteworthy that there is less' orna­ mentation—that is, not so much ordi-‘ naiy lace—on the average underwear than in preceding seasons. Narrow laces and fine tucks are used, em-- broldered net is introduced In the more expensive pieces and fine hand embroidery enjoys its perennial fa- vor. - Orepe ■ de chine and batiste are. still without - close -rivals,„ the best- ’liked of materials, and flesh'color ap­ parently Ifi as great demand as white. Night dresses appear to have shed their.. responsibilities, entirely In the matter of covering the arms.' The Empire model shown at the right of the picture above is brief as to bodice 'and long as toifkirt, and may be taken .as a( criterion of the present mode. It has many companions with wider and deeper points or scallops at the bot­ tom, and there is a fancy for bows with long ends of inch-wide.satin rib-, bon, fastened on the bands over the shoulder—making n pretty but Inef­ fectual effort to take the place of the banished sleeves. • The chemise shown has a body ,fash­ ioned of four points edged with lace and lace straps over the shoulders. Sometimes lace accounts for the en­ tire body of night gowns or chemise with no help, unless one counts in ribbon ornaments In rosettes, bows or flowers, ,These diaphanous and friv­ olous garments do not occupy them­ selves with .the matter of providing- warmth.

Occasional and special times of thanksgiving had often been appoint-, ed by different Presidents, but the year 1863, famous for its decisive national victories, marked also tbe beginning of the annual series of Thanksgiving days. The great victories of Gettysburg and Vicksburg were really the cause of Lincoln’s proclamation, and his ex­ ample has been followed by all his .successors until the annual festival- has become one of our national insti­ tutions. The proclamation of 1863 was re­ markable as the first of a series, ex­ tending now over fifty years. It was also noticeable because it was the oc­ casion of a thanksgiving hymn by the famous Reverend Doctor Muhlenburg of St. Luke’s hospital, New York city. He is well known as the author of the familiar hymn, “I Would Not Live Al- way,” and a poet of no small repute. Mr. Lincoln’s glowing words met his 0ye and struck a responsive chord In his heart. A noble Thanksgiving hymn was the result, a bymrf which at the time was often sung, but is pow comparatively forgotten. It was pub­ lished with appropriate music, and even yet Is suitable for use on similar occasions. The hymn contains nine stanzas, with chorus, and takes up In order the various; causes for thanksgiving men­ tioned In Mr. Lincoln’s proclamation. The original title was “Give Thanks AU Te People,” the first verse being as follows: ®** thanks, all ye people, give thanks to the Lord, Alleluias of freedom with joyful accord; Let the Bast and the West, North and Bonth roll along, Sea, mountain and prairie, one thanks­giving song.Chorus. ,-Qlve thanks, all ye people, give thanks to the Lord,Allolulaa of freedom, with joyful accord. As .the hymn was suggested by Mr. Lincoln’s call upon the nation to give thanks, Doctor MuhlenbUrg spoke of it as “The President’s Hymn,” but would not permanently offer such a title without Mr. Lincoln’s approval, Mr. Robert B. Minturn, a prominent mem­ ber of Doctor Muhlenbuirg’s congrega­ tion, was greatly pleased with the poem,- and sent a copy to the President, with whom he was personally acquaint­ ed, asking permission to name the hymn as the author desired. Mr. Lin­ coln telegraphed back: “So let it-be.” In July, 1863, Dr. Horace BushneIl published In “Hours at Home” Sn ar­ ticle attacking the well-known hymn, "America,” as an unworthy and really humiliating effusion—as a political an­ them. Doctor Bushneli thus refers to Doctor Mnhienburg’s production: “The hymn and air that were given to the public by Doctor Muhlenburg a short time ago appear to have missed the accident of being fairly born, and for that reason have not succeeded.' The want of good accident here is fa­ tal, but the hymn Iiay real merit. It was too long and included three or k<&. four verses that could hav'e been omit­ ted with advantage. Otherwise it might have stuck and would have had a fair chance of success; for the mu­ sic, which we know only by the eye, and never heard In a public perform­ ance, appeared to have a look of'prom­ ise.” The next known reference to this hymn occurs in connection with the observance of the fiftieth convocation of the University Of Illinois, on No­ vember 20, 1013. ' The Alumm Quar­ terly says: “Touches-of-the unusual were added to the exercises by the singing of & forgotten hymn, dedicated tf> Lincoln In 1863 by Reverend Doctor - Mnhlenburg. The hymn, which had. not previously been sung In public, was discovered by Professor Dodge In a contemporary’ Issue of tbe New York Tribune.” ' Preparing for Thanksgiving, Be ready for Thanksgiving by al­ ways having a list of yonr blessings corrected up . to date. SomeReasonsWfiy the Farmer Should Keep Thanksgiving Just now, apart from our knowl­ edge of food secure, perhaps some of us feel it necessary to fall' back upon the private reasons for thank­ fulness. Bach one has some bit of personal well-being that can be brought out and rubbed up and admired just to. keep our home circle happy this Thanksgiving day. Each • one knows their own cause for con­ tent, even where it is so common­ place as not to be distinctly visible to others. Especially this year we mustn’t lose sight of the personal bright spots on account of their every-day. character. '• A person was.- once visiting a friend whose home commanded a beautiful stretch of mountain scenery. It was, in fact, ta. magnificent view. “What a wonderful outlook you have here,” he remarked to his host. “I am sure if I lived here I should. spend most of my time viewing the landscape.”. "Why, I never thought of it that way,” his host replied. “I never con-, sidered It anything remarkable. I have simply taken it as a matter of course.” Thousands of people who Uye In the country enjoy a treasure which Is denied to millions of their fellowmen —the blessing of good, pure, out-of- door air,=fragrant In spring and sum­ mer with perfume of flowers or new- mown hay, and In fall and winfer-. la­ den'with eriqp,’ life-giving ozone, ; No one enjoys more: blessings‘and treasures of this kind than the man Or woman on the farm. He or she. if inclined to be of a. complaining na­ ture; is apt to find fault that life on the farm Is so hard and composed so largely of drudgery. Iiurtlieriqere, “far away fields are always green,” and the one On the farm Imagines/ that In the dty all must be easeand contentment. These Imaginings, how­ ever, will not stand the test ot personal acquaintanceship with the life that is lived In the cities by hun­ dreds of thousands of people. Farm work Is hard, but theie are no easy berths In life. The average person on. the farm lives better, enjoys better air to breathe, better water to drink, better food to eat, better conditions unde; which to work, better.Health than the. man or woman In corresponding sir Cumstances ln the city.

At least, Connie told herself deter­ minedly that . snowflakes were accountable for the blur; then, she wiped her „ eyes. ; -,OJtfS;. ’ Merry, Christmas time,” Coqhle said to her old yellow cat “ Who ever heard of Christmas, without the Merry? So cheer up, Prowler, and let’s join In the game.” At the Uttle “Shoppe” just around the corner she stood longest of all. And all at once into Connie’s bright eyes came a speculative light The window was full of small teamed pic­ tures, most of them with the Christ­ mas spirit. There were the usual night-clad children looking, up broad chimneys, there were landscapes of snowy fields with distant windows alight—Connie studied them all; she was seeing in vision the winding hill road, of the place where she had spent her-last summer vacation; the Church with its swaying bell in the steeple, the queer little bridge over the deep and beautiful stream—a bridge with seats along its sides wherecountless lovers bad sat and courted. The old lady who had been Connie’s volunteer hostess told her, with the pink coming and going In. her withered cheeks, about the lovers. For it was there that her own husband had asked, and had been answered—his question. The way that Connie had chanced to visit this beautiful' country place and to meet there the dear old lady was quite remarkable, chance too. She had started out on the trolley car for one restful day in the country and had chosen this station at random. And when she had stopped to admire the wonderful roses in the old lady’s gar­ den—and they had spent some agrqp- able time together—the old lady, Mrs. Martha Snow by name, had said: llMy dear! Why don’t you come on and visit me for a week or two?. Tm lonely for a young sweet face.” . And Connie had gone, that was all. Half her later water colors had been glorified memories of that delightful visit., Now Connie had a new inspira­ tion.- She would paint the queer little bridge, over an icy. stream, and; its seats should be covered with snow. She could fancy just how the trees would look waving naked branches. And she’d paint the church In the hol­ low with lights In the windows gleam­ ing over the snow and the' bell in the tower a-swaying for Christmas. Oh, Connie, was very happy as she hurried home to her attic, but there, In fhe temperamental way artisfe have,; she' began to draw instead, working In a fever of enthusiasm— the sitting room, of the old house where she had been a guest, with' Martha Snow herself seated in the firelight, just half of her peaceful pro­ file showing beneath its halo of white bair. ; There was holly above the old fire­ place and a boy’s stocking hanging there. Connie never stopped until she had completed the picture, then ran with it breathlessly’ to the, “Shoppe” around the corner. •Yes, we will display It;” a smiling old man agreed. The picture sold. Of , course you were’ prepared for that; but the strange part was that before it was sold Connie had added her other views to the “Shoppe” window, and her dis-' cemlng purchaser had bought’ them every one. While the other Christ-: mas studies pleased him not at. all; Connie could not count the number of times that she passed that window, first closing her eyes childishly in the hope that her picture would not be there when she opened them. And It was tbe day. but. one before Christmas ^tliat the “Shoppe", manager seeing her ' peeking ,about, beckoned her inside. “You have pleased one of our best customers,” said the manager,’ “and when we mentioned your, peculiar con­ dition of sale he suggested talking the matter over with you that you might both come to a satisfactory bargain. Our customer thinks, that you1 possess wonderful artistic ability,. We have given him your address.” “Is he,” asked Connie -faltering!;, “a philanthropist?” . gome way she did not want her pur­ chaser to be just a philanthropist and spoil all future ambitious hope. ■ “Mr. Armstrong Is a man- who usual­ ly-drives a pretty shrewd bargain,” the “Shoppe” manager said. So, though it was early afternoon. Connie hurried home to turn on a gas’ blaze and dqn her most presentable dress so. that she might make a favor­ able impression as a successful young wlelder of the brush- Tbe purchaser might arrive any minute. But it was' the next afternoon when be came and Connie was wearing a bungalow apron. . The purchaser was young and tall 9nd good looking, and tj»e goldeh cat .greeted , him with a ,purring mb, -which was to Connie. a ■ recommendation as -to his honesty. . m /m Mr. HuhertiArmstrong came direct­ ly to business. . “Your sketches have for me a double interest, Miss Carroll," he said. “You have drawn remarkably some of the’ happiest scenes of my boyhood. Scenes which I am ashamed to say I had, half-forgotten. The’ world of iuslness absorbs much of human kind­ ness I am afraid, and sometimes a struggle for success causes, us to leave nuch that Is tender behind; I am grateful to you tor awakening In me -hat tenderness which I had almost uiried.” ‘ ■ ’ The man’s voice' broke huskily. He drew forth an old. sitting-room’ pic­ ture. “Peace on Earth” was the name she had given it. “That,” said Hubert Armstrong, "is the living room of my home in -Hill- crest—the place where I was born. This' white-haired woman’s profile is the peaceful profile of my long-lost mother. That lttfle bulging stocking might have been my own stocking, just as it used to hang there years ago— Tell me—” his tone was eager, "how did you come by your dream?” ‘T visited last summer,” Connie told him, “In that same old house In Hlll- crest with Mrs. Martha Snow, who in­ vited me.” The man nodded hastily. “I see,” he said, “it is quite simple after alL Martha Snow Is my moth­ er’s widowed sister.” A dull red crept to his cheek. *T had almost forgotten that Aunt Martha asked me years ago to allow her to continue on In the old home­ stead. It was left mine' by will. So she’s there yet, and the church beU stUI chlmes’out for Christmas! “You have sounded the memory bells for me, Miss Carrol'.” It seemed that the purchaser had almost forgotten'her In his muslngs. Now that she looked at him closely his face was threaded by lines of cere, Iiisflne eyes sorrowful beneath their sternness. Connie put forth a friend­ ly hand. ■ "Why,” she said, “so yotr are Martha Snow’s nephew. Then there can be no question of bargain between - us, the pictures are freely yours.” The man’ spoke abruptly; “You paint to sell do you not?’-’ he asked. “Isn’t that what: your studio is-four - Connie shook her head ruefully. “Mostly,” she replied, “my studio is just t%Mve in.” "AncFyou live alone?” “I am quite alone in the world,” she told him- gravely. Then her irrepressible smile broke forth. “Unless,” she added, -"you would count Prowler?" She caught the cat In her arms. •’ “I—live—alone—too.” Hubert Arm­ strong Said slowly. “I know what It means. There’s not much difference between the gilded waUs-of an apartment and these walls of -yours here.” • “Not when it comes to loneliness,” Connie agreed. “We were going to look much more cheerful.” she went Z J '< Connie Studied Them All. on, “when yon interrupted us with your knock. . I was ,climbing the lad­ der to bahg a holly wreath.” “Let me. do it for you,” the man said. Before slie could could refuse his assistance he was on'the ladder, tbe wreath in his hands. ' “That’s better,” Connie told him as side by side they stood looking up at the crimson berries. . “It’s the first time In years,” Hu­ bert Armstrong said with a boyish laugh, “that IYe done ,that sort of thing. Gives me a thrill of old Christ­ mas. Makes me wish for a fireplace with a filled stocking before It.
