'MOCKSVILLE, NORTH C A RO LI^, WEDNESDAY/MARCH 2, I92i. . ; ^ £.'•NUMBER 34 Under the title,... “Hobson’s Choice,” the University News Let­ ter has a most interesting and signi ficient article on the problem of the small town in North Carolina today. If the small town of North Caro­ lina, towns with less than 2,500 in­ habitants, want to survive and grow they must do one are of two things, according to Roy M. Brown, of Watauga county, Speaking before the North Carolina, Club, which is this year studying the state from an urban and industrial point of view, says the News Letter. These small towns, said he must either move forward into the class of manufac­ turing centers, which a.few of them have been able to do; or they must by community effort become attrac­ tive local trade, high School, and residence centers. Mr. Brown cited figures showing that small towns of North Carolina were not only increasing in popula­ tion, but that 93 of them in the past decade actually "dwindled', in size and 40 of them surrended their charters of incorporation and quiet­ ly faded from the map, disappeared, Ir.y down and died. He thinks.the same fate is com­ ing to others unless they do some­ thing to prevent it. Country peo­ ple leaving their farms do not stop in these liitle towns, he said, un­ less they are especially attracted to them and see in them a chance for themselves and their children. They jump over them and go to the larger cities. • Here is the great /place for cham­ bers of commerces other commun­ ity bodies, said Mr. Brown,; accord­ ing to the News Letter. Member­ ship and activities of such bodies, should extend throughout the trade area of the town, In predominan­ tly rural counties the chambers ' should be county-wide. This is a real problem that should be faced and solved.; Certainlyit isnot desirable, that towns of the.class under considera­ tion should be swept .out of exist­ ence. But if they are to exist,- and prosper, they will have to do cer­ tain things. . For one thing, they ,will have to provide modern conveniences to a greater extent, than in the past to the end that they may be as^desir­ able as possible as. places of resi­ dence. - There are many people who pre- fere to live in a small town, but they are not willing to undergo hardships thru the lack of modern conven­ iences in order to do it. ' This is a fact that should be care­ fully considered by the official boards and citizens generally of communities of the type we are discussing.—Twin-City Sentinel. SUPPOSE! Suppose an aditor' should,, just for once, relieve his mind by print­ ing all the news ,that he happened to know at that minute! Options would be throwed up, ■■ citizens ar­ rested, familes disrupted, fights, fought on every street corner, candidates resigning, ministers leaving for distant parts, lawyers taking-long vacations, businessmen turning things overdo their clerks fora season, hired girls hunting uew jobs and so on down a long list of casualties—-and the editor would lie so bussed up that his corpse cpuldn't be Identifieu by.;his own family.

I go to "church most every day, ind swallow what the- preachers say, and still I never get enough of what I call the real stuff; Some preachers have a little creed—a compact form of all we need—and then they dish a little in, by way of music from the chin. And thus, they shirk the real facts they’ve left at home in dusty stacks. Im­ agine a guy with a beautiful “theme’ir-a Bible text and a “fat meat dream”—predestination on the side—“feeding the sheep with a sense of pride.” Some preachers have a list of homes where ! every saint and sinner roams—such bunk as heavenly real estate, with a gol­ den key to every gate. When preachers read the Holy writ and then can’t find out when to quit, tbe thing to do is turn around aud go back oyer the same old ground. As this won’t fill the mutton head with how to recognize the dead— where sinners go. how long they stay and how they manage to get away. One day^aAvoman buried a son, a- good-for-nothing-son-of-a- gun, whose death just saved him from a rope, he left the world with­ out'a hope. The. preacher tried to run the bluff, and sprang the re­ cognition stuff, and here the moth­ er “passed the buck,” and left the prea her- “out of luck.” But now. this preacher is glad to preach the things the H^ly Scriptures teach, with ample proof within his dome and eloquence to drive it . home. Such rotten old unsavory lore as knowing loved ones gone before does.no t xepose.in. the sacrecLWord, to the ungorged by a. polly' bird. They give the Bible an awful twist,, explaining things that don’t exist, and make, an extra “shatterrang” andtspread it over the whole she­ bang. ,They get a stultified Amen! —the guy is in his glory then—he’s given birth to something new, by tacking on a thing or two. Tlie best of “good old sermon paints” is recognition of the saints, to wring a tear from mother’s"eye, and sof­ ten the heart of wayward guy’, but this don’t make for mother’s joy, when she gets “up there” to miss her boy. Now preacher, here’s the useful "dope” yOuir panacea—your only hope, throw ’w_ay your bunk and tommyrot—the things you should have long forgot—get down to facts and preach what is, and work this method in your biz.— Blanche Shepard, in Greensboro ’Daily News. ' Can We Doubt It? We.heard a story the other day a- bout an editor having to be carried home on a stretcher as the result of haying,received a kind-word over something he had printed.

I Wfcat is Done With Tfce Liquor. y-.A most excellent woman called up ye editor and asked him wbat become of all the liquor the officers took a- •yyay from moonshiners and others. U This writer said in reply in a joCu Iar way that we.supposed the officers drink the liqor they capture in Ca- tawbe' c'aunty. ; ;: But seriously, the citizens have a* sight to know what the officers do with the liquor they seize. " In the town where the quanity is small it is alright to keep the liquor to use as evidence in court, but after the trial is ever the liquor should be destroyed Rublicly—so that the peo­ ple know that it is destroyed and not carried into the policemen's' offices or to the-jail where it ,leaves a sus­ picion that the officers drink the stuff or sell it to others. . ->j. This writer asked Mr; H. H Sig­ mon whathad been done with all the liquor that hand been seized by the sheriff an d h is d e p u tie s - ah d h e rep lied 'th a t it w as tak e n to the jail by Mr. Gilbert and destroyed or was supposed to be destroyed. There'has been some suspicion not only of|the liquor, but there has been a suspicion that some of the old stills have been carried back and put In use after captured' in some counties. It is the purpose of the law enfor­ cement people to have the law so plain on these subjects that he who runs may read. That when a still is captured it shall be destroyed in the presence of the witnesses and affida­ vits made and filed with the clerk of court stating when and where des­ troyed. - Also something similar mqst be done with reference to the liquor— it must be made plain that it shall bedestroyed and record of the fact made'as well.as of. stills. This writer has not seen any hquor destroyed in Catawba county in four years and has not seen any one else who saw liquor destroyed. — Newton Enterprise. . MONEY.

It is' the me­ dium of exchange. In the true sense money represents a man’s business ability. Yet if a man has monev he is a -’’crook” ahd if he has not he is a faiiure. When a'man is accuniula ting money he is usually ambitious, industrious and worth much to his community. When he gets plenty of m.oney he stagnates and lives for self alone. If Soloman were living today he probably would say. “In all thy getting get rich,” instead of “under­ standing.” , Money is th.e cheif topic of conver­ sation. One can’t attend a social, re- Iigius or otherwise, but what some­ how, somewhere “money” gets in. Strangers are received not according to their accomplishments but accord­ ing to their pocketbooks. Girls are no longer taught td-marry fof love and to choose a; man with brains, out are encouraged to “marry rich.” .

Houte by Representative Grant. There was only one 'man in the- meeting who had the temerity to indnrse Grant's bill—the sentiment and the vote of those present was overwhelmingly, a- gainst it. and we.hope the legislature will kill the bill as drawn: The meeting went on record as favoring the Doughtua-Cori- rier road bill with the understanding that no ad .valorum taxes be collected from the. people for carrying out the provisions . of this bill, that no taxes were- to be collect­ed but. those from automobiles and gaso- lipp.: This scribe endorsed the bill With tbdse provisions and conditions; but after due consideration' lie has begged leave' to change bis vote, and -now asks to be - re­ corded asagainstany road bond issue at this session, and-lie advises the solons to put off any big bond issue for at least tWo years and thus give us time for .readjust: ment, and let the taxpayers see “where they are at ”• lt's_a time of stress, and the people are in no condition- to carry an increased burden. Giveus time to re-ad­ just our taxation system, and pay our debts before venturing our upon a disturb­ed and unsettled sea, I notice that Re­presentative Grant made an attempt to amend the State officers salary bill (which should bave been killed) bv adding '$250 far the expenses of ail the representatives and principal employees, and in his re-, marks he said that the legislature was getting to be “a rich man's club,” and from .his amendment and County salary biil one would infer that he was, makiiig every effort I ossible to break into the rich man's club” for himself and family, for in his salary bill he is trying to iu crease the Clerk of the Superior Court's salary in this county 50 per cent, and the Clerk happens to be his father, who has held the offi e more than thirty years, arid no one has ever heard of his inten • tion to retire on account of the pay, and from the number of Grant’s kinsmen and family connections on the pay roll, it would seem that they are all trying 'to library day. join the “rich man’s club.” ■ Mr. Grant' himself, the record shows, was paid $300 last year for County Attorney, while the Iite Thomas B.

(Continued from last week.) fKites, m overalls ami amrL-sieeves, leaned ngalnst the Iron rail at the, back of the station platform, his big hands staffed Id the bulging band of his trousers, and his under-jaw busy with, an ample ration of tobacco. • He watched the passengers alighting from the train with little interest; he h^d no particular expectation of meetlDg Harris on this occasion,, and, If the truth be told, he had little desire to meet him. Riles had no pangs of con­ science over his part In the plot against his old neighbor, but be had an uneasy feeling of. cowardice. When suddenly his eye fell on Harris and his big. strapping son, his first Impulse was to slip, away In the crowd .before they should notice him. But It was only for a ,moment; the next, Harris was calling, Hiram," and the two were shakiDg hands as old friends met In a far country. . “Dldja get my letter?” asked Elies, Ignoring the commonplaces with which It was their custom to Introduce any Important topic. "Dldja sell the farm?” “I got the letter, Hiram, but I didn’t sell the farm.' Thought we’d Just have a look over this coal mine before goto’ into the business altogether.” “H-s-h. Throttle your voice down. This place Is full of men on the look­ out for somethin* like that, an’ you can’t keep it too dark until it’s all settled." “Well, ain’t we going to put up somewhere?” said Allan, breaking the silence that followed Riles’ warning. ! MlBPJ "Does Taste Kind o’ Snaky/’ Said Harris. “There ought to be an Alberta hotel here, somewhere. I saw one In every town for the last two hundred miles.’! “I got that beat,” said Biles, with a snicker. “Boardin' on a lord, or duke, or somethin’.” •‘Don’t say?” “Yeii. Tou mind Gard-ner? Him ’at lit out from Plalnvllle after that sten I in’ affair?” “The one you got credit for bein’ mixed up in?” said. Allan, with dis­ concerting !frankness. "A lame kind . of a lord; he'd make. What about him?” "Well, fee. struck a soft thtng out ' here, to? sure. This lord Fm tellln' you about's gone off home over some bloomin' estate or other, an' GanTnefg fanning his ranch-—bis ‘bloody-well rawnch’ he calls it. Gets a good,fat- wad for ridln' round, an’ hires a man to do the work. But it was Gfird'ner put me on 'f this coal mine deal.” “Let’s get settled first, and well talk about -Gardiner and the mine aft­ erward,” said Harris, and they joined the throng-that was now wending its ■way to the hotels. “How’s your thirst Bttram ?” in­ quired Harris, after he had registered. “Pretty sticky,” confessed Riles. “But they soak you a quarter to wash It out here.” . “Well, I got a quarter.” "A quarter apiece,'I mean.'* “Well, I got a quarter :aplece,” said' Harris. "Come on.” Riles followed, astonishment over Harris’ sudden liberality, and misgiv­ ing as to how be himself could avoid a similar expenditure, struggling for uppermost place In his: mind. “Prettystrong shiS they have here,” Be said/after Harris and Allaa had ‘‘set ’em up’!- In turn. “Keel you over if you don’t watcfr it.” “Does taste. Idnd o’ snaky.” said Harris. “Guess that's enough for this time. upstairs - and tell us vlfllr afoot m jpi^teywi have. Wt." ' When tlfe ’trailers had thrown off .' their,, coats and vests, and all were seated in the little bedroom, Riles , cleared hl§ throat. ;' “Well, Qiere'ain’t much tf tell' yuh, more’n I said In m'-letter,” he started. “As I said. It’s Gard’ner you’ll have t' . 'thank for this thing, good or bad, I ain’t a coal miner; an’. I-told him flyit, an’ I told him you wasn’t neither, bat he says that don’t make ,no difference, He says there's $11 kinds o'money In It, an’ I reckon that’s wMSt we came out here fpr, aln’tlt?” “Yes. provided the thing’s sound,’.’ Harris.: “Anyone can see(, with „• tv.HV — ’- .easier- ways oi roaBng money than~bustin' up this prairie sod for it. But you and me’ve worked hard for what we’ve got, Hiram, and we want f go mighty care­ ful about spendin’ It” “I suppose you’ve sent home word to sell your farm, have you !” put In Allan. “Ton'll be chipping In at the same time?”. “Oh, yes, TU be chlppin’ In. Of course. But I didn't just say to sell the farm yet I'll have t’ get back, an’ straighten things up some first. Tou see. I thought you'd get my letter be­ fore. you left, an' you could kind o’ make your deal then, an' your pay­ ment would hold the bargain bound until I could sell mine, y' pee, Har­ ris?” Riles was beginning to address himself mainly to the older man.. “Don’t take me up wrong',” said AU lan. “I’m in on this along with Dad. If he’s In; an’ If he’s out,Tm out. But I was Just kind o’ curious about it” “It's all right, it’s all right,” as­ sured Riles, with great magnanimity. Inwardly he was cursing Gardiner for having left this task to him. He was suspicious of a trap In the simplest question, and feared that any minute he might find himself floundering in a mesh pf contradictions, "Where is this coal mine, and'who’s got It?” said Harris. “I ain’t saw It myself,” admitted Biles. “They’re awful p’ticMar about iettln’ people see it” he continued,, with a sudden flash of Inspiration, “It's so valu’ble, y' know." “ 'Frald somebody’ll bring It home in their pocket, I suppose,” said Al­ lan.Riles pretended to laugh heartily. “But where is It?” insisted Harris. “Is there a railroad near, or how do you get at It?” - “It’s up In the mountains, an’ that’s alU can tell you ; but it’s all right an’ there’s a pile o’ money In It. I auess I better bring Gard’ner down In the morning, an' he’ll explain all nbout it. T’ see. he knows the fellow 'at owns it an' I don’t an' he’ll be able to tell you. That Is. If you’re soln' In on It Gard’ner ,won’t say much unless he knows you’re goln’ In on It.”“Well, he’ll have to say a good deal before he knows,” said' 'Harris. “I ain’t buyin’ a pig In a poke. He’s got t’ show’ me, and then if It’s all right why, lt’a all right.” “Oh, It’s all right” said Riles, al­ though tnwardly he felt little enthu­ siasm over the attitude of either fa­ ther. or son. He was annoyed that Al­ lan should be present. On the whole, it would be better to leave the rest of the explaining to Gardiner. “What d’ye think" of It Dad?” said Allan, <$en Biles was gone. “May be all right," said Harris. “Wouldn’t be surprised but It is. At the same time. I ain’t goln* to put a cent ln.lt tilVI'm dead sure. And any­ way. there's no use Iettib* Riles think we're keen on It" ‘!That's what I think. Tou think Gardner's all square In It?” “I don’t know. .Likely he's getting a fat commission from somewhere, but that’s fair enough. If he mskes the deal. But he won’t see-any o' our money till I have the opinion of the best lawyer In town. That’s all we can say till we see it.’’’ “What d’ye say If we sell the old farm anyway, an’ then If this mine business don’t look good, we’ll plunk !t into farm land?” “Might do worse.” his father agreed. •‘We'll have a look round for a day. or two. anyway.” . 1 In the afternoon Gardiner and Riles drove Into town and met the. Harrises In the waiting, room of the hutel. Gardiner’s greeting was friendly, but not overfamiliar, as became a man n-ho had recently suffered some refler- don on his. character. He shook Har­ ris and Allan by the hand,' Inquired after the cattle and the crops, but dis­ creetly avoided family matters, hav­ ing Ieer^ed from Riles that all had not been going smoothly'In their do­ mestic affairs. Gardtner knew a little' ream at the back of the bar, to which he escorted- his guests. Having or­ dered a bottle and glasses on the table, ..he turned the key In the door. “Ton can't be too. careful," fce ex­ plained. “Too know, the walls have .ears, and if it gets out that this coal mine- can be picked up at the price we have on It it-will be taken - before night. I understand your.money is not here yet, Mr. Harris,?” “No.. Not started, I . guess. ' The fact Is, I haven’t sold the farm." “Well, I don’t want to hurry you, but you’ve got to act quickly, or not at all. Of course, we :don’t figure on taking any chances. Our idea is to turn the property'over at once, at a. CTod profit That’s, the way yon fed about It too, isn’t it?” “I'm not a coal miner.” “Exactly. Neither are the men Who own most of the mines of this coun­ try. There conies a time, Mr. Harris, when we realize that we don’t have to get down with pick and! shovel to make ourselves some money—in' fact -the man \jith pick and shovel hasn't, time to make any real money.' I am 'glad yqu feel-like I do ajjfl&fott, for I have already taken the pat­ ting the proposition up 'to i. a Nevy York syndicate." . “Ton mean If we- don’t come through, th4y:wiin”; iV-.. . ••Net I mean thkt Weni come through —and they'll come after Os. My idea *s not to take any chances, but to sell the property, pr as good as sell it be­ fore we buy It. So I sent a- govern­ ment report on it tci this syndicate, as I beard they were looking out for coal lands In the West, and. I just took the liberty of offerlni: It to them for a cool quarter of /a iqlllion, and gave them',until tonight to accept or refuse,■' by wire. Jm -a little anxious-for an answer,'although if they don’t take ft others will. Tou see, the old fellow1 that owns It simply hasn’t any Idea what It's worth. He has lived in the, hills until he looks like one of ’em, and a satchelful Of nioney in real bills will simply dazzle him. A check wouldn’t serve- the purpose; he’d be suspicious of It, and he’d come down to investigate, and some one would be .sure to crimp our deal.” “And suppose I don’t like the look of the .mine when I see It?” "Then you bring your money back down with you and put It into farm lands, or anything else that takes your fancy. After you look. It over. If you don’t want to go In on It Mr. Har­ ris, perhaps Riles and I can raise enough ourselves to swing the deal,, but you see we thought oi you from the first, and we will stay with our original plan until you have a chance to decide one way or another.” - “Well, that sounds fair,” said jfflfcan, and his father nodded.' “But we. haven’t sold the farm, and until we do I guess there isn’t much money In sight’’“Bradshaw’ll sell the farm ' quick enough If I send him word,” his fa­ ther assured him. “He may not get it all In money, but he’ll get a good part of it, and he. has ways o’ raisin’ the balance so long’s the security Is good.' I've half a mind t’ wire him t’ close ’er out” j At this moment there came a knock on the door, and a boy presented a telegram ■ for Gardiner. He opened it read it, and emitted a whoop like a wild Indian. “They’re coming “They're Coming Through," He Shout, ed, “Coming Throughlw through,", he shouted, “coming through! How does half of two hun­ dred and fifty thousand'^ollars look to you, Mr. .Harris?” . ; Harris reached out eagerly for the telegram,, while Allan, his arm thrown over his father’s shoulder, read it In hoylsh excitement: ■, “It investigation confirms govern­ ment reports we will pay two hundred fifty thousand. ^ Our representative leaves at once for personal Interview." The name n't the end of the tele' gram was unknown to either Harris or itis soa, but Gardiner assured them it was one to conjure with In the financial world. Riles' excitement was scarcely less than Allan’s. Gardiner choked a flood Of-questions on his lips with a quick imperative glance. Even Riles did not know that the telegram had been, written a 'few doors down the street by a stoutish mgn In a pepper-and-salt suit “I’ll take a chance,” said Harris, at last *TU take a’chance." . ' “Chance nothing P interjected Gar­ diner, with momentary abruptness. “It was a chance a mlnute ago ; it's 6 “certainty .now. It's the cinch of a lifetime." • “Where’s some paper?” asked Allan. “Let’s .get a telegram away right off.” . Gardiner produced a notebook and, at Harris' dictation, drafted a tele­ gram to Bradshaw,' directing him to dispose of the farm at once along- the lines of tlie^ instructions alregdy given him. He was to cash, the agreement and wire , thje - proceeds to Harris. ■ . " . . Then followed long anxious days. Fortnneseemed to hang on Bradshaw’s success in.making an immediate sate of the farm. It was a large order, and yet HnrrIs ' felt confident - a buyer, would-be found.' The price asked was not unreasonable, 'especially when 'it. was remembered that the crop would go to the purchaser, and was now ,al­ most-ready for the binder. Bradshaw was in constant touch with well-to-do farmers from the South \vho were ,on the lookout for land; and his own bankings facilities would enaisie' hlm to forward the Cash as soon' as a sale was assured, without waiting, for actual payment by the purchaser. So Harris was CoQfldent-In the midst of his anxiety. ^ ' „ A gentleman’s agreement had been made with -Gardiner aid Riles. that not a word was to be said coikerning their" Investment until it was a com­ pleted fact. Gardiner dropped In oc­ casionally to learn If any ,word had come fl-pm Piainyille1 but It was not nntH the afternoon- of the fourth day that the fateful yellow. envelope was banded in at'the hotel. ...As It hap­ pened, Gardiner and ;Rlles were pres­ ent at the moment. They dipped- into tfee back. Toom iTOd waitedAln a ’favW oTTexj^taBwcrffirTEtarris Io announce the contents. - . HairIsr and Allan read the message twice before speaking; then Allan re­ peated it: aloud: “Twenty thousand ,,dollars proceeds sale goes forward by wire,your bank. Correspondence follows. Will explain failure to get price asked.“BRADSHAW.” Harris was 'torn between emotions, and his face worked with unwonted nervousness as he struggled with them. That Bradshaw should have sold the farm .for half the price he had stipulated ,seemed incredible. It was robbery; it was a breach of trust of'the most despicable nature. On the other hand, If the amount available would enable them to buy the mine.; the huge profit assured from that in­ vestment would much more than off-' set the loss , on the' farm. Gardiner and Riles, too, were visibly downcast when thfey heard the amount but Gar-' diner promptly grappled with ^ the situation. . “It’s less than we figured on,’’ h<} said, “but-perhaps we can get through- still. Thg thing to do Is to get out to the mine at once with this money. It will be sufficient to prove the genuine­ ness of our Intentions, and Induce him into town.' Then Riles can put up some and I can put up some, and that with the twenty thousand, should hold the deal until Riles can realize on his farm. Within a very short time we can turn the whole thing- over to. the New Torkerg1 and take In the profits.” “Say, Gardiner,” said Allan, speak­ ing as one. who had been struck by a new and Important thought. “Wliere do you come In on thjs,_deal? Is your old gink up In the hills coming through for half?” . “Not a cent," said Gardiner. “As for svhere I ; come In, well,, dealing with old friends like Riles and the Harrises, I considered that a sec­ ondary matter. I fancy that when they feel the profits In their pockets they will be disposed to be not only, fair, but generous, and. of course, if I put up part of the money I will expect my share of profit. But Fm not ask­ ing for any assurance; I’m just going to IeaVe that to you.” “Well, that’s decent anyway," Har­ ris agreed. “I haven’t as much money as I expected, but if we can pull it through it may be ,all right jet. Of course, you remember that I haven’t promised , to put up a dollar ^nless I like the looks of the mine when I see it.” Harris still bad qualms of hesi­ tation about entering into a transac­ tion .so much out-pf .his beaten path,-' and he took occasion from time to time to . make sure that an avenue of retreat was sail open.' . “That’s the understanding, exactly,” Gardiner assured’ him. “You’re the man with the money, and if you don't like It don’t pay.” Harris at once visited the bank, and •returned shortly with the information' that the amount less a somewhat startling: percentage for transmission and exchange, was already deposited to .his credit . ’ “Then let us lose no more time.” said Gardiner, with enthusiasm. “Ten will need a . team and rig, and you better pack a couple of blankets and some grub. Make the stableman throw in a couple of saddles; yon may have to- ride the last part of the trip. Riles and I will make it the whole way on horseback.” ,. Gardiner then remembered that it would he neces­ sary for> him to go back to the ranch and change horses, but he described In detail the road they should take, and assured them they could not miss It. It was the main read up the river valley—up, and up—and if they drove hard they would reach that night a spot where an old, deserted cabin stood back in a clump ,of poplars, . it would be a good place'-to spend the night, and -Riles and.' Gardiner would meet, them there, if, indeed, (hey« did not overtake them on the road. Neither Harris, nor Allen, had any fear of a strange-trail ; they had been bred to a sense of direction and location all their IjLvcs, 'and were confident the? would find no difficulty In reaching th*. rendezvous.

At first thought, it may seem a far cry from Abrahain Iiincoln to good roads.but it should not be dif­ ficult to demonstrate that no more appropriate tribute could be paid to tne memory of that great Arneriran and the principles for which he stood than the construction of good roads.' Abraham Lincoln stood for nat­ ional unity and national develop­ ment as against sectionalism •with its fears, prejudices and passions. He stood for public good as against selfish interests, for mutual under­ standings and forbearance as a gainst class and sectional antagon­ isms and intolerance. More honor is done the memory of Lincoln by the practice of his ideals than by their preachment. Whatever brings communities clos­ er together, whatever stimulates friendly intercourse and interchange of ideas among people of. different states and sections having varied interests, whateves encourages the study and discussion of problems from a public and national view' point rather than a selfish and pro­ vincial viewpoint must help bind the nation together, emphasize in­ terests that are common; subordi- nate those! which are local, promote national development and breed a spirit of national unity, The individual community, state or section which is isolated becomes self-centered, selfish, suspicious and usually antagonistic to the common good. Lines of traffic and travel which provide for interchange of ideas, as well as of. goods, ,which, bring all kinds and conditions of people into daily common' touch, break down this isolation, - -destroy this provincialism and prevent sec­ tionalism. This is so axiomatic that the development of civilization and . the destiny of nations have been de ''termined by lines to travel. . Nothing has contributed more to the drift from farm to town', than the inability of the fanner and his family,—particulary his. children- to go to town whgnthey should, or to go only under most unconfortable circumstances. Bad road's mean difficult transportation, during spme seasons of the year they mean prac­ tically no transportation. So long as a man is a social animal, so long will' he rebel against conditions which make difficult communica­ tion with his fellow man. So long as he strives for his mental and spiritual betterment, so long will he rebel against, conditions which ren der it difficult for him. to . attend places of worship and send his c h ilr dren to scho&l. Solongasbestrives Io get ahead financially so long will he rebel against - conditions which handicap his marketing facilities and cut down, if not wipe out, his profit. Hence it is that bad roads drive people to the city and ,depre­ ciate the value of land. The com­ munity of bad roads is also the com­ munity of poor schools poor church­ es, poor farmels and abondoned farms. These facts have been brought home to the farmer wjth greater force since th e introduction ,of the automobile and truck' into rural life.. The Beraau of Farin Manage ment and Economics has just issued a bulletin upofc ‘‘Experience of Eartern Fanners with Motor Trucks,” an analysis'of the exper­ ience of 753 farmers of the .New England states. New York,: Pennr sylvaflia, New Jereey, Delaware and Maryland, who use/ motor trucks on their own farms. The , farms studied were of all sizes and. types —truck farms, dairy farms, fruit farms, crop farms (raising no stock) |md general farmfe, whiehwfroduce all kinds of cr&ps and raise livestock. truck farms second, dairy farms third and fruit forth. The farms ranged in size from the truck farm of a few acres to the general-, farm of several hundred acres. _ The average size of all farms studied was 173 acres. Only 18 per cent of the farms were five miles or less from market, while 25 per cant were 20 miles or more from market. Ninety-five per cent of the. farm­ ers said their frucks had proved a profitable investment; the trucks ranged in size from one half ton to five tons. As compared with horses and wagons, the farmers' reported the trucks saved' from ono-half to two-thirds of the time required for hauling. Four-fifths of the farm> ers'reported their trucks enabled them to save on hired help. ■ On the average this saving " amounted to $3-24 a year. Avery great number reported.that since they had, pur­ chased ; trucks they had changed their market—going farther but to aJarger market and thereby get: ing better prices. But without any . exception it was reported that good roads are economical use of trucks, and other motor vehicles. Sixty per cent^of the complaints against motor trucks were on account of bad roads. The significance of this may be readily seen when the official figures. of 1920 show that • sixty per cent’ of the output of motor cars and trucks for 1920 were sold to ., agricultural districts; and over 2,500,000 motor cars and trucks registered in 1920 were owned by farmers: The' highway is the; farmer’s transportation system for both his passenger and and freight traffic. It-is absolutely as essential to-'him as the street car lines are ltd the re­ sident of the great cities and ,the steam railroads -are to the'great manufacturing industries. It is as deadly to agriculture to have the highways crippled part-of the year or unfit for traffic at irregular inter vals as-it would be to industry to have no railroad transportation for weeks at a -time'.or to a great city to have its street- car transportation out of business for d^ys or weeks at a time.—National1 Republican Gold Bricks/ There is.a campaign among the builders supply concerns in the cit­ ies to encourage home-building that again in the land may be heard the music of the hammer and the saw.

Davie County in 17ih District? '} RALpIGrH, March 1.—A joint democratic caucus open to everyr body, tonight endorsed legislation to protect pollholders, to slightly a- mend the primary law and to transr fer Davie county from the fifteenth to the seventeenth judicial- district so both will .be safely , democratic hereafter. Col. Als Watts was on hand for- the. conference, which was sand? wiched in between the debate on the Southernpower bill, and sat close to the throrie where reigned former Speaker 'Pete Murphy. TJie bill to revise the senatorial districts was the only thing deferred.and this was sent to a joint hearing of the election laws committee tomorrow. The eaucus'recommended Repre­ sentative J^Vill Neal’s bill to protect election . officers ; assults made on- these dignitaries in the future.'will be punishable only with a prison- sentence and: it may range any­ where from four month to 10. years.. Speaker Grier suggested, to the cancuas, and it was approved, af change in the 'election laws so as to abolish the 3 o’clock limitation on counting absentee ^allots. Chair- many Murphy secured unanimous endorsement of a ' new registration in time for the 1922 primary elec­ tions and for:an amendment to laws striking out all sex-references. Easterners object to'the -present draft of the Neal bill to revise the senatorial districts and ■ they pro­ tested tonight to be abound by a cancus until after a full committee looks at the'bill again. There was some ■ little objection^ to the Cox billtaking_twq memberi. of the house of representatives ,frpni Iredell and Union and giving them ,to NewHanover and Foysyth, but. Colonel Watts pulled figures on the objectors and the meeting'closed. Governor Dpughton had the cau CUS bind the. democrats to support the bill to take IDavie out of the fif­ teenth and put it in the seventeenth judiciai district. A republican solic­ itor was elected in the last trial be­ tween the parties. Hugging in Public. Last week a gentleman, of Cov­ ington Ky. , not supposed to be “a mong those present,” interrupted a meriy dance long enough to fire two shots iiito the body of his wife, fatal­ ly woUndering her. We do not ap­ prove of this method of. dealing with refectory wives. it> quithe too rough, but if he had gone in the inids” and seized, wife (not' too tenderly,, mind, you) arid- trotted her home and administered a good orthodox spanking, we should have approved . withou t reservation. If a man wishes to hug his own wife 'pirivately Or publicly, let ’irn,- there’s no special harm done; but when it comes to. indiscriminate and "widely diversified hugging, well we don’t practice it ourselves and we’ don’t care about it being practiced dn ourh.” Just as' long as there are girls, and women who prefer ball room music to the music of a cook stove arid broom there will be crack­ ing' of pistols and terrible tragedy. —Harriman Record.

' •_____ The encouraging news has reach­ ed us that work is to begin at once on the streets and water system in Mocksville, This is the best bit of news we have heard since the night of November 2nd. * Friday . was a great day in Wash­ ington. For the first time in eight years a Republican president took the highest office in the gift of the American people. May peace and prosperity smile upon the land. A number of new dwelling hous­ es are needed in Mocksville. Our town cannot, grdw when new fami­ lies are kept out for lack of houses. A building andv loan association would help' to solve this problem. Good district schools are net worth much to a community that hasn’t good roads. If the children’ cannot'get to the schools why go to such heavy expense to build big buildings. We need good schools but We need good,roads first. About 3,500,000 men are idle in the United States - as a a result of. closed mills Or decreased production. Tnis is very nearly the number that were out of employment after the Wilson-Underwood tariff law had been in operation, for less than a year and before war orders from Europe stimulated American manu­ facture.—Exchange. It, seems that the Democratic ltgislaturebecamefrightened about the fifteenth judicial district which is composed of Davie and five other counties. To keep this districtsafe: Iy Democratic Davie was extracted therefrom and added to the seven-, teenth district, which is almost solidly Republican, v Everything seems to be fair in-wap and politics. Our legislators who are raising the salaries of all the public officials, have not yet seen proper to intro­ duce a bill to raise.-;the. salary or grant an expense account for coun­ try editors, a class of public servants who ; spefid more time and work harder for the public in proportion to what they receive than any other class of people working for or sup­ ported by the public.—Bill Mont­ gomery-. Once in a while The Record re­ ceives a severe jolt. The other day we had a letter from an old lady in Illinois telling us that .she wanted her paper-stopped—that our politi­ cal views were s^f&r apart that she could not enjoy reading our paper. The funny part- was that she had taken and read The Record during the last campaign and -never realized that she couldn’t enjoy the paper until Harding was inaugurated Pre­ sident. County Agent Warren is very anxious for. the boys and girls of Davie county to join the agricultur­ al clubs which he is trying to orga­ nize in the county. These poultry and pig clubs- are. great things for ^ countyiaStllheips mucfejp^ the future growth and: development of the farms. .The Record trusts that the citizens of the* county *will, co­ operate with.Mr. Warren in eyery way possible. - : ~ How Times Changed. Young girlsused to wonder, when they would be old enough to put on long skirts. Now they wonder when they’ll be able to wear them as short as mother’s withou blush­ ing.—Washington Post. ■ A Comparison. In the last issue of the Davie Re­ cord we made some observations and suggestions. Inthisarticle we want to make a comparison of -an­ other town. In doing this we do not mean to criticise our own town, but to hold up another town that has made itself a progressive, pros perous town that is a...good and comfortable place in which to live. The following article is taken from “The Orphans Friend,” writ­ ten, by Mr. Fred A. Old?: . Warrenton has 927'.folks; about as many as it had a hundred years ago. but it hangs tip a record' for owning itself which many a far greater place may well envy. The assessed'value of its property is $1,- 800,000. For 35 years it has own­ ed a railway three inilbs long, con­ necting it with Warren Plains, on Seabord Air Line, and this little road gives a net .profit, to the' town on-an average, of $5,000 a year,; which is applied to all purposes. Thetownisexcellentlypavedand sidewalked, and owns a water plant and sewage system, costing $112,- 000. It owns an ice plant with a capacity of .40 tons daily, with a re- frigating section. It owns a power and light plant which cost $40,000 and operates 24 hours a day. It is building a hotel to cost $120,000, with 35 bedrooms, each with a bath the hotel having a laundry, bakery and I efrigaratingplant. By- afi over­ whelming vote the town has- just ordered the issue of $100,000 in bonds for a public school building to replace an old one. The women voters- will now take step to bring about a town-owned laundry and this will.be, together. - with the school, the new features of the beau­ tiful little place in 1921. I venture the assertion that Mocksville is surrounded by a far better farming section than Warren- fon is. I am sure that the - people that live in MocksyjUe are just as cultured and refinea as they are in Warrenton. Now I want to ask you what- is the trouble with'Mocks­ ville? Have we been selfish , conceit; ed or has it been that we- have not had vision and learned how to co­ operate? I would suggest that we ,all go and see the “City . Fathers,’’ and tell them that we are for .them,-that is if they will give us good Streets,. Water Works aud Electric Lights. If we can’t pull we can push. . ‘‘LAPIS.” News Notrs of Interest. r R. A. Daughton, of Sparta, has been appointed Road Cominissionr er for the Seventh district by Gov­ ernor Morrison. There are three Republicans and seven Democrats on the Rbad Commission;: Thr State increased its mainten­ ance appropriations$2,500,000 over the 1919 appropriations, not includ­ ing amounts for permanent impro­ vements. The sky seems ,to be the limit. Statesville, MarchvV -D rlLong’s sanitorium sustained a heavy loss this afternoon when the executive building, including examination rooms, office laboratories and-nurses, home, was practically destroyed by fire. Good Health To Get Married. : Raleigh, Mar. 3.—The lower House of the General Assembly at last night’s session by a-vote of 74 to 39 passed the Beltaifiy bill- pro­ viding that applicants for marriage must submit to the register of deeds a certificate showing that they are in good physical condition before the marriage license-may be issued.: Over the provision of the bill which related to the mental.test for all applications thgre was consider­ able ,debate in which numerous members spoke. WheU it seemed that the bill would be lost an amend­ ment was offered by Daughton and Grant providing that the certificate from the physician must show that the applicant is. free from veneral diseases and that he msffishe has. never been adjudged and idiot or an imbecile by-hdeourt. Death Closes Career-;of Champ Clark, -r Washington, March 2,—Death closed today the career of career of Champ Clark, of Missouri-, formore than a quarter century a towering figure in national politics, a stalwart of stalwarts in the Democratic par­ ty. He died in the very shadow of the capitol. Just over the way from the hotel where he has lived many years, house- and senate seethed.in the closing hours'of the Congress of which he was an honored member and leader. The stir of legislative battle was with him to the end. He lived again in memory, as-his pulses flagged, the. daj's of the eight years he wielded the speakers gavel in the: house. Those sorrowing- at his. bedside heard the old chieftain mut­ ter ,in bis last delirium. ; •“The question is on adoption of the conference report.” ‘ By mandate more binding than any written law Congress barely halted in reverence, to ftiark the passing member. Knowing as the years had taught hfin to know the vital urgency of time in the closing daj's of a Congress, • the former speaker made known' his will from what he knew was his death bed. 'His wish was carried to both houses that no halt in -public business should be made at his death. No Gold for Mqcksville Landlords.

"Better make your own arrange­ ments about the horses,” Gardiner whispered as they left the room. “We can't be too careful to keep our busi­ ness secret.” As they stood for a moment In the waiting-room ltoccurred to Allan that some shooting might be found In the mountains.. “Ton haven’t got a gun you could lend me, I suppose?” he said to Gardiner. “What do you want a gun forT Gardiner demanded brusquely. “Might get a shot at a partridge, or somthing. No harm In having one along, is there?" “Oh, no, but I don’t expect you’ll see anything to justify the trouble. -Anyway, I haven’t got one.” , “There’s a shotgun here,”- said the hotel clerk, who had overheard the last remarks, “if that would suit you. A ChoIIy who was taking a short course in poker put it up a few days ago as a standoff on his eat score. There's- ten bones against It; if it’s worth that to. you. take it.” He handed the<-gun«over the coun­ ter, and Allan -examined it with inter- He Handed the,Gun Overthe Counter and Allan Examined It With In­terest. est. He recognized an English weapon of Jt value out of all proportion to the PrlIre asked. / ’TH take it,” he said, and paid down /the money. There was a momentary' darkening of Gardiner’s face -which nobody noticed. The little party then moved out to the street. Gardiner had regained his smooth manner, and gave some Qnni directions about the road. "Oh, we’ll find It all right,” said Allan, in high spirits,, "and we’ll beat you to the shanty unless you’ve some faster nags at home than any I see you driving. So long,” “So long,” called Gardiner. "So long, and good luck.” “So long, an’ good hick,” repeated Kiles. He was trying to play the game, but. as Gardiner often’reminded him, he Iiad no imagination. Xt would have been quite impossible- for Kiles, on his own initiative, to -have thought of wishing the Harrises “good luck” on the journey they were about to com­ mence. . . . lHieyi were interesting types of Vlllains--One, gentlemanly, suave, deep and resourceful; the-other, coarse, shallow, slow-witted and brutal. The offense of one !against society was wholly intellectual); of the other, al­ most wholly physical. Gardiner fully appreciated the difference, and in his , heart he felt a contempt and loathing toward Kiles whieb be concealed only as a matter of policy. And he had worked out in his mind a little plan by which Klles1 when his usefulness ) wus ended, should be shuffled off with­ out any share in the booty: At pres­ ent he tolerated him because of neces­ sity. There was work before them for which Riles was peculiarly qualified. The Harrises went at once to a IlV- : ery stable, where they arranged for a team and outfit They then bought some cartridges for -the gun, and a small handbag in which to carry the money. When Harris presehted himself at the bank wicket and asked for the full amount to- his credit in cash, the sal­ low-faced teller turned a (trifle paler still and slipped into the\ manager's office. A moment later the manager himself appeared before them. “That’s a pretty. heavy order on a VCbnntry bttnk,“Mrj^Ha*&-bGf course we could give it to^fu^^obhange, but to pay; twenty thousand]dollars or. thereabouts in-bills will dratn us to al- ■ most our last dollar. -Can’t you use a marked check, or a-draft’ on‘,a Calgary ; bank?” , •■'. -.■■■-■•■; ' . “Weil, no,” Harris said;.‘Tm afraid we can’t.” “A marked check is as good as’blils,” . the banker argued, “and much easier to carry, not to speak of being safer,” he added, as an afterthought. "Trav­ eling with that amount of money on .von Is a sort of defiance of natural law, especially with the country full- of strangers, as it Is at present” The hanker looked from the powerful frame .. of the fanner to the equally powerful frame of the farmers son. and his eye fell on the gun which the latter carried under his arm. “But I guess," be con­ tinued with a laugh, “there isn’t much danger on that score." “Nothin’ f speak of," said Harris. “And while I don’t want t’ break your bank, I do want t’ get that money, and t’ get it In bills, or part of it In gold an’ silver would do. The fact is, I don’t mind tellln' you, Tve a deal on, an* Tre undertaken f put *up this mon­ ey in cash—tonight.” A young man emerged from some­ where and locked the front door of the bank. “It’s closing time now,” said the teller, addressing the manager. “We have enough cash on hand to pay this gentleman,’and we can wire for more bills, which' will reach us in time for tomorrow’s business." •“Pay it, then." said the manager. “Mr.-Harrjs has a right to his tnoiiey in that form if he wants it. “But." he added, turning to Harris, "I’d advise you to keep both eyes on It uutil your transaction is completed." The counting of thb money was a bigger task than either Harris or Allan had -thought, but at last it was com­ pleted, and they .were ready for the road. The banker looked after their buggy as it faded out of sight up the river road.- “Hang me if I like that I” he said to himself.• « * * • » *• The long drive up the valley In the warm August afternoon was an-experi­ ence for the soul of painter or poet. Even .Tohn and Allan Harris, schooled as they were In the religion of ma­ terial things, felt something: within them responding to the air, and the sunlight, and the dark green banks of trees, and the sound of rushing water, and the purple-blue mountains heaving and receding before them. Darkness settled about them. One or two stars came out. The poplars took on the color of the spruce; the -iver fretted more noisily In Its rocky -hannel. A thin ribbon of cloud lay cross the mountains, and a breeze of vonderfnl mellowness came down hrough the passes. At length, just as they were thinking >f pitching camp for the night, Allan* -spied a deserted cabin In a cluster of rees by the side of the road. They turned into the wood and unhitched the horses. - ■. A match revealed a lantern Iytnging >n the wall, and a few cooking utensils, safe from all marauders under the un­ written law of the new land. | The two men first made their horses comfortable, and then cooked some supper on a little fire at the door of the shack. Harris was tired, so they cleared a space In the corner farthest from the door, and spread,their blan­ kets there. Harris lay down to rest, the precious hag of money by his side. “You niight' as well drop off for a nap.”' Allan suggested. “They must have been delayed, and may not make it tonight at all. We’re here for the night, and you. may as well rest if you can. I won’t turn In myself until you waken.” “I believe i’ll So as you say,” his fa­ ther agreed. “Keep. a keen ear an’ don’t leave the building without wakin’ me.” Allan looked out at different times Tor Gardiner and Riles, but there seemed no sound-in all the world save the rushing of water. A cold draught crept along the Boor. . ... He fancied his father had fallen into a nap. . . . The night chill deepened and. at length Allan hung a blanket as best he could across the open door. -His gun gave him a sense of companionship, and he took it In bis hands nnd sat'down be­ side his father. . . . It was very lean and graceful In his fingers. ■*-*■* » • * * ■ . While the banker worked in his gar­ den In the long August evening the thought of the two men with a bag full of money kept recurring and recurring in his mind, and smothering the natural pride be felt in his abounding cab­ bages. True, it was no business of bis, but still he could not feel entirely at ease. As he bent oyer his hoe be heard hoofs clatter In ''the -street and, looking up; saw the erect form of.Ser­ geant Grey on his well-groomed gov­ ernment horse. At a signal from the banker the policeman drew up beside the fence. They talked. In low voices for ten minutes. “It may. be a wild-goose chase,” shld the sergeant at last, "but it’s worth1 a try.” Half an hour Inter his horse, was swinging In - his long, steady stride up the road by the wind­ ing river. CHAPTER XI. ‘ - The Honor .of Thieves. ' Gardiner and Riles rode only a short distance out of town, then turned their horses into the deep bush, and waited. At last the Harris’ team and buggy rattled by. When it had-secured a good lead the two horsemen emerged from their covering and: took a cross roads to Gardiner’s ranch.. -. “We better eat,” said Gardiner and busied' himself with stafigtoj^a fire. “Of course, the] cook’s outR%lshing,: I guess,” hecontinued,, as he noticed that. Travers’ .fishing ,.rod was gone! from the wall;/ “Perhaps it’s 'just as well. He might be asking questions.” ,Biles ate hjs meal in haste and silence. He Wds taciturn," moody, and excitable, and. made so response' to Gardiner's attempts to open conversa­ tion upon trivial subjects. “Upon my soul,” said Gardiner at last, “you don’t ,seem-any more than enthusiastic. One would think you were going to a funeral, Instead of a —a division of profits.” “Perhaps I am,” said Riles "We’ll know better when back.” “Well, If you feel that way' about It, you better stay at home,” said Gardi­ ner; with pointed candidness. “If ten thousand dollars is no good; to you perhaps I can use your share In my own business.” "That wouldn’t let me out” protest­ ed Riles. “You’ve got me mixed up In it now. nnd if things go wrong I’m In for it out If things go right you’re willin’ t’ take all"the. money.” “Things won’t go wrong," Gardiner assured him. “They can’t. Every thing is planned to, a fraction, but if we see there’s going to be a hitch— why. the owner of the mine'!! fall to turn up, and we’ll all come'hack to town, and no one a hit the wiser." Riles was eager to know the details of which lie Iiad lieen kept in com­ plete ignorance, but Gardiner would disclose nothing until they were on the read. "Jim may come, in any minute.” he explained, “arid .Tlm might Iieat- enough to make him curi­ ous. And it's just a Iittie too soon to excite his curiosity. ■ “That reminds me,” Gardiner con­ tinued. ".Iim has. a very neat little \ “If Ten Thousand Dollars Is No Good to You, Perhaps I Can Use Your Share in the Business." revolver here somewhere. I think TH borrow it. We might see some game, as Allan says.” / A search disclosed revolver and cartridges In Travers’ trunk, Gardiner loaded the weapon and put it In his pocket. “What about me?” demanded Riles. “Ain’t I t’ have no gun?” “Better without it,” said Gardiner. “It might go off. If we really see any game, and there's a chanCe of a sec­ ond shot, I'll lend you tliis one.” Down by the river, well screened with cotton-woods, Travers fished in a pool dose by the ford.- He heard voices, and, looking up- quickly, saw Riles and Gardiner riding slowly down the road. The two rode close by, and stopped their horses to drink with their forefeet in the river. - Jim was going to call to them when he heard his own name mentioned. He was no eavesdropper, but he obeyed the, im­ pulse to listen and keep out of sight. “Travers doesn’t suspect a thing,” Gardiner was saying. “It’s just as well, He figures on making old .Har­ ris father-in-law some day, and he might do something foolish If he caught on. If the old man loses all his money he won’t be so desirable from a son-in-law’s point of view . . . Well, we'll, see how he stands the night In the old shanty up the river road. Strange things have happened there before now. let me tell you, Riles.” If -JIm had beeii prompted by curi­ osity at first a very different emotion laid hold of him as he caught the gist of Gardiner’s remarks. Travers had not known Harris to be In the district, but he had suspected for some days that .Gardiner and Riles were hatching mischief'In, their long absences togeth-. er. The information that Harris was going up the river tonight, apparently with a large sum of money, and the fact that these two men also were go­ ing up the river, gave to Travers’- nim-'- ble mind framework on which to. hang almost any kind of plot ■ (Continued next week) , Southern Railway System Schedules Anival And Departure of Passen- ger Trains at Mocksville.

President Southern Baptist Conven­ tion, who will tour the South. TTp to December i, 1920, Southern Baptists had paid ?16,851,100.68 In cash on their subscriptions to the 75 Million Campaign, according to an an­ nouncement issued jby the' Conserva­ tion Commission, which is looking af­ ter all the general interests of the campaign. This sum has been appor­ tioned among foreign missions, home missions, state missions, Christian ed­ ucation, hospitals, orphanages and ministerial relief, in accordance--with the original campaign program. While the receipts from the cam­ paign have enabled all the agencies of the.-denomination to greatly enlarge their work the returns have not been as large as the best interests of the work demand, it is said, and the local churches throughout the South are asked to join In a movement to bring up the payments on all subscriptions due by May I, in order that the dele­ gates can go to the Southern Baptist Convention at Chattanooga, May 12, with a clean slate and all the gen­ eral work adequately provided for. Will Hold Day of Prayer. Inaugurating this spring cash round- up campaign, February 27-March 6 has been designated as intercession week iby the Baptist'women of the South, while the entire membership of the Baptist churches is asked to join in spending Wednesday, March 2, as a. day of prayer for God’s blessings and guidance in the further campaign work. After this special period of prayer the remainder of March will -be given over to enlisting all the members of all the Baptist churches in' the South In the matter of completing the cam­ paign program by paying that por­ tion of the subscriptions due by that time,'and; in bringing the ''members-to see their obligation to support God’s work through the dissemination of the doctrine - of stewardship. April has been designated as loyalty month and during that time effort will be made throughout the South to' bring Bap­ tists to realize that, their ,loyalty to God and His work demands the. pay­ ment, where at all possible, of their pledges to the campaign. Southwide Tour Is Planned. . In order”that the subscribers to the campaign may be'fully informed on what has-been accomplished with, the money they, have contributed so far, and as to the nee'ds for the comple­ tion of the campaign program, a se­ ries of informational and inspirational meetings that will reacn into every state in the South has been planned tor March and April.

The Potawatomie Iridians recent­ ly finished a two days' dance and feast in honor of the new year. Tt was a celebration whicta-every In­ dian on the reservation a tnile from Mayette1 Kans., attended, many white guests were present, for the Patawatomie feasts are famous for their quality and elcellence. Bur- becued beel is one of the favorite dishes. The reservation is. twenty-five miles from Topeka, the. capital of Kansas, and contains about eleven square miles of land. Approximate­ ly 500 Indians are living there, and the laud is farmed. The white man’s cultivation has floryn around the little reservation and' left it a relic of poineer days in Kansas. Much of the white man’s cultiva­ tion has, of course been absorbed by the Pottawatomies; they all speak English, and motor cars are commonplace among the red men. “I cau remember,” Mat Septa, a young Pottawatomie, said, when the dancers and medicine men used to prophesy at our dances of how the white men would one day ride in carriages without horses and fly through the air like birds. Wq us­ ed to think that was wonderful, but we have seet it happen. jOur dancers also told of how there would be a great war among the white men, in which they would cross the Sea. to kiil one another. That was the European war. I Was in France six­ teen months myself with the 89th Division. A great experience. You know what I liked about the army —you always had-friends-antfwere not lonesome. But I was glad’to come home. ''Our people livesofter than they used to take . us .down to the bank of the creekyrinter .mcmirigs, and break the ice and make us jump in. That was to make us hard, and strong. They don’t, do that any more with our boys. ‘'Our prophet tell of !another great war that will come amorig' the white men and after that they say, there will be no war. They tell, us that the white man’s heart will be changed then, and that much of the land that once belonged to the Indians will be given back to him. I do not know. It is npt good for my people to have too. much mon­ ey in their pockets, for they spend it swiftly.” The Pattawatomies are proud of the fact that Charles Curtis, senior Uuited States Senitor from Kansas ts of Pottawatomie ancestry, and still count him a member of their tribe, although they do not often see him 011 the reservation. "His time is taken Up in the city of the Great WTiite Father,” the Tattawatomies explain, ‘‘but his heart is friendly toward his people.” Likely to Be First Harding Ap­ pointee. The expressed opinion of leading Kepublicaus of Greensboro and western North Carolina, is that the hrst appointment of President Hard­ ing in North Carolina will be Frank A- Linney, of Boone, to the dis­ trict attorneyship of. the western district to succeed Stonewall J. Durham, of Gastonia, whose term expires March 4. Mr. Linney, who i‘as served his party as chairman of the state executive committee for a uumbet of years, arid who ..has- a °ng record.of service in the.ranks, Ilas riie indorsement of his party it Is said, and little doubt attaches to his appointment. We Ipiow Him. • The latest knocker that has ar­ rived in Sevierville is a member of a mercantile firm in Sevierville who has made the rounds and asked the merchants to agree with him to-cut out all advertising- His argument is that advertising, don’t pay. Wt wish to inform this back-woods knocker that if he considers that he is making us a donation we he ad­ vertises in bur columns that we do not want his advertisements and if he is afiaid to tell the people about his goods that the quality of them must surely be inferior and he must be ashamed of them. We know the real reason why this gouger was trying to get such an agreement out of our merchants. He is so stingy and dose that he would walk across b—I on a rotten, rail for a dime and if the rail should break he wouldn’t give a uickle to get out of'the fiery pit. He struck slate in his attemps. Our merchants are a progressive lot of men and believe iu telling the people about their goods and are not afrajd of the quality or ashamed qf their business. W’hat advertising this merchant has done would not make or break. anybody. He may succeed in business without adver­ tising, but we hardly think he will. Our time is too precious and paper and ink costs too much for us to say all we would like to say about this leech, therefore we wish’ the people to excuse us for saying what we have and for wasting so much good space in noticing him.—Bill Mont­ gomery.

TheNorth Carolina Legislature adjourned last Wednesday for which we should all be thankful. The best, way to preserve the beauty of a finely shaped nose is to keep it out of other peoples business. A man who is afraid to in\ est or who is to stingy to turn his money loose is not much account to a com­ munity. Don’t speak ill of old maids. They are the true angels who have refused to make men miserable by marrying:them. There may be as good fish in the sea as have been caught, but what’s a fellow !going to do when he’s out of baft? The poor man stands about the same chance of getting rich in this world as the rich man does of free zing in the next. Aman was sent to: the asylum recently for wanting- the moon. The fellows who want the earth are still running loose. , Among the hard things to under­ stand in • this world are mules, women, gasoline engines, automo- . biles and wireless telegraphy. Won’t some of.the society bunch feel flat when they get to heaven and find their cooks and washer­ women occupying the front seats. The legislature failed to. pass a law making Daviecounty Democra­ tic, the only reason being that Aus Watts didn’t know how to.draw up the bill. Our very latest - advises are that the blackberry crop ioi 1921, will be even better than that of 1920. Good. The only thing tio worry about is, it’s four monthsoff. A lady wants to know whether it is true that kissing will cure freck­ les. We can’t say positively, but a simple remedy like thht is worth trying. Callduring business hours. If a man would tell the- truth for twenty-rfour hours, says a writer he wouldi . be !put in an asylum, How many from' this town have been put in an asylum in the past year? ■■ ■Should the time ever come that we will be compelled to say and think only what some old rich cuss dictates to us, then we will quit the newspaper busines and hang Qtur- self. Itsmighty hard for a man to make folks believe: that he is self- made, but one squint at Some of our modern weinen will convince most .folks that they built their own tern- tiful forms. A farmer .figured, out one rainy day that he had walked three hund­ red miles cultivating one acre of corn. He then, sold his farm and moved, to l l p l six hundred iniiesi he’s still walking/— Exchange. The Record doesn’jt print all the news—not by"any meslns. ' There -are several' depending on us for living. It is all right forus to print the nice things, but if we were t> print all we know it would be spicy -reading. But. it would he for one week only. The next week you would fead our obituary, • and we would be missed on the streets of ' Mocksville. . t An exchange says that when a woman marries a man she noc only takes his name, but takes nearly everything else the poor devil has. With farm products clear down in price, a few people are wondering what the farmer will do this sum mer. They fear he will raise only enough for his own use and let the rest of us starve. - It mi'ght be an act of just retribution if he .did let the gougers go hungry. . But he won’t. He has a bigger heart than some other people and the world will not suffer through any inaction of his. He wilt go right on raising his crops and we will keep right on eating them. It is a pity, though, that there is no way of singling out the gougers and profiteers and com­ pelling them to grub for themselves or do without. It would be migh­ ty comforting to the farmer, the re­ tailer, and the fellows who pay the piper.—Exchange. Cana Notes. Willie Atkinson went to Winston Thursday on business.

STBAD. • (Continued from last week.) f He leaned forward In the trees, but at tliat moment RUes clutched Gardi­ ner’s arm arid said something to a low voice. The two mei drowned In the lisp of the water. The smile did not leave Travers’ lips as he wound up his reel and stole swiftly along a cattle-track op from the river, but a sudden light gleamed In his eyes and-UIs muscles hardened with excited tension. He knew the shanty to which Gardiner referred, as they hod once been there together, and he resolved that If there were go­ ing to be any "doings” In that locali­ ty toDight he would furnish a share of the excitement. Unfortunately, the ford was on: a-cross-road JIttIe and H was;" two miles back to ranch. By -the the ranch buildings, caught and sad­ dled his horse, made a fruitless Search for his revolver, substituted a rifle which lay at hand, and at Iength found himself upon the trail, darkness was setting 'In, and Gardiner and Riles had many miles’ start of him. When th& ttwo plotters' stopped to let their horses drink at the ford Gardiner suddenly brake off fro sation to make a few Travers and Harris. RIIes had lis­ tened indifferently until his eye caught sight at Travers, halt concealed the cotton-woorta that fringed He “S-s-shhe cautioned. “Jim’s Jost behind, the bank. I'm swe I saw him. an’ he heard you, too.” ' “Good,” said. Gardiner, quite undis­ turbed. “Now ,we can go on." They reined up their horses and plunged into the svrlftly-Eunnlng water. “You see,” said Garainer1 as the horses took the opposite bank with great strides,' their wet hoofs slipping on. the round bOul- ,dire that fringed the stream—‘Ton see,'I knew JIm was there ail tl Those remarks were intended be tak- “It’s all quite to and follow us.

But it’s- different Hiram. Iou have a wife and in Manitoba, and it would be inconvenient for you to' slip. away without notice. So I say that on your account we mustn't let it fall.” “You didn’t say nothing about that, before, I notice," said Riles.'; .“You mustn’t*expect me.to do your private thinking as well as that of the Ann,” Gaf-dlfter i>etorted. “You had the facts—why. didn't you patch them r -yourself ? You’re In a if things don’t go light. But, as I said. I’m going to/stick with you and see that they do go right." They rode along In silence In tin gathering darkness. Had they beer, able to read each other’s mlnd3 they' would have been astonished at the co­ incidence of thought. Gardiner \yas planning to.make away with the mon­ ey when he got out of the building. Why should he divide; with Riles— Riles, who would only hoard it- up,-' and \vlir> had plenty of money already? •Mot at all. Riles might sue him for his share. If he wanted to—and could find Mi \ to serve notice! On the oth­ er-hand, Riles’ slow wits had quick­ ened to the point of perceiving that so UgEt it brought the moisture 'to his eyes. He thought of the past years; of their labor on the farm togethep— hard labor, -but always relieved by their comradeship and mutual ambi­ tions, . • His memory carried him still fur­ ther back—-back to" the- days when he was a little child, and In the' mirror of the darkness he eould see his own small figure trudging in the track of the plow and hanging to the rein ends that dropped from the knot on his fa­ ther’s ample back. Back to the old ■.SI but we can tell.-lhem jwe got on-the robber's trail'and fol­ lowed it unttt we lost ourselves In the ,bush. In the meantime the Harrises ■will be tearing around In great, essclte- jment,' and they’re almost sure to run on to Travers.

He was much more .than Gardiner's match In strength and he had little fear, of the revolver, provid­ ed he could take his adversary una­ wares. If the worst came to/the worst, and he could not give the Harrises the slip, he would take them with Mm, and they would all come upon Gardiner the loot. Then he to Harris how he had Gardiner’s Iplot and frus- It * * * The idea grew.upon Riles, and he rode along in a frame of mind bordering upon- cheerfulness. It .was now quite dark, and ithe 'horses picked tlieir steps carefully along the hill side trails. At last Gar- and poioted'to a heavy A faint glimmer pf light shone through it. • “That’s the shack,” he -whispered. “They have a lantern there;. We bet­ ter get off th e ’road and tether our in this coulee.” They turned down a narrow ravine 00 m to Walk single file the branching trees.' They tied the horses where the woods closed all about them, and there seemed no chance of discovery. “Quietly; now,” said Gardiner, - as toward the old' building, ieem to be working out as'we . but we must make sure of every detail, so that we -can change the attack if necessary.” . . . The ; two men stole up'. the rough road leading to the hut. The glow of the lantern came from; the'building, In a long, fading wedge from window, but seemed about the door.

A- moist'- breeze, smelling of soft, njoun^ tain snow, gently stirred :..the -; trees about them. Bui from the shanty no sound could be discerned. They , ap- . and still hearer, go to 'the door, and TH take the window,” Gardiner: ^ordered. “Shove the blanket aside a little and size up the situation before you speak. We must make sure they’re; there, and waited until he :saw Riles carefully with the;, blanket In’ the doorway?

Had He Been Asleep? sod Sbantyi with Its. sweet smell of comfort when the snow beat against the little window and the wind roared ■ In the rattling stove pipe, and his mother sat by the fire and piled her flying needles. Old lullabies stole into his brain; a .deep peace compassed him, aisS consciousness faded thinner arid thinner into the' sea of. the infi­ nite. * * * Allan sat up In n sudden, cold chill . of terror. Had he been asleep? What cold breath of dread had crossed, his path? He was no:.coward; the sense of fear was almost unknown to him, but now it enveloped him, stifled him, set ,his teeth chattering and his ltmbs Quaking. -He had heard nothing,; seen, nothing.' The gun was in his hands as it , had lain when last he .remembered. it; his fathei; slept by his side, and near the. wall Iny the precious’ satdie}. And yet he shook in absolute, unrea­ soning, unfounded terror. Hia eyes wandered from! the lantern to the. door —to the blanket hanging limply In tlie door; aid there thejr stared aind stayed' as though held in' the spell of a ser­ pent., Subconsciously, certainly with­ out any direction of wili of his own, , he raised the shot gun to-his shoulder and kept it trained on the sagging blanket. * * * The blanket seemed to move! It S;Wayed.at first as though a light breeze 'had touched ‘it and yet, not as though a breeze had touched It. The impulse seemed too far up—about ! the height of a man’s shoulder. The, blood had gone from Allan’s face; .he . was’as one in a trance,..,obeying some, Iron l&w outside the realm of the will and the reason. He cocked his gun.' and tightened his finger ori the trig­ ger, and watched.- * * * And' then, so plain that it must have been real, he. saw stealthy fingers feeling their way about the blanket. Then Allan fired. * In an instant he was wide awake, and wondering terribly what had hap-;.: pened. The explosion blew out the iantem, and .the building was in utter darkness. His father was clambering' to his feet with “Allan, What' is it? WRat is it, Allah?”. The blanket had’ been torh from its hangings as by a heavy weight, and something was writhing’ in it.in the doorway. Allan spriang up and'would have-rushed upon It, but in the darkness-he cpllidfed with another man. 1 His !fingers found his adversary’s arm and ran up it to.his. throat, but before they could fasten in a fatal grip there was anpther flash of light, and a hot pang stabbed him- in the brpast Thete was. a strange gur-' gling In Jhls iuh'gs, a choking In his throat, a spinning ,dizziness in his head,: as he staggered over the mass in the doorway and ell Into 'the night. . ^ jJardirier had reached the ’window ; JUst in time to see: Allan's gun-trained on the doorway. For an instant he stood dumbfounded; there- was some? thing uncanny in' the sight of Qie young man ,sitting there; in siient, absolute readiness for the attack. He' drew back to warn Riles, but he was too late. At that moment the gun spoke; there ^yas the: sound of a heavy body falling,- and stifled noises bore ampie, evidence of the accuracy of Allan’s, aim. But even In that moment of un­ certainty Gardiner .had not . lost '•thought of their purpose, and his quick! •jeye took ,In. the, sleeping form of John Harris and the location of the leather 'bag beside the wall.; Without au. in- 8tdint’s: hesitation he vaulted through ithe window and, revolve*. In hand, be-; igaii to steal'his way softly-toward the; treasure. ■ ' v He had not taken three,steps when- Allan plunged full force Iritct him. He. staggered with the shock, but reeov-' ■ ered, hlmself only. to' find the young farmer’s strong; fingers clutching for his throat. - it bad been no part -of Gardiner’s plan that there shoijld be bloodshed In the. carrying out of the..!. fnhliftrT. ,hiit.Ka nrne- o': men n« nnUV h effl^tM m ;'^ sligbtpressure on’ the trigger, UndfAllan fell, cough­ ing, through the door. ' . '- ... ' _ • Gardiner retained his aense of loca­ tion, and slipped silently . to the wall. Harris was, rushing about the rotten. floor ln the darkness, trying, “What Is It, Allan?.For God’s' sake, what has happened?' Are you shot?" and for his. -own noise'he could not hear Gardiner’s stealthy movements. Gardiner’s hand fell on a log of the wall, and his keen fingers traced their own-way along! it. Five steps, he judged, and the bag would be at his feet.. At the fifth step his toe touched'4n object ,.on the floor; he leaned: over and raised the booty in his hand. •. ' ;. . By this time his eyes had respohded to the - Intense darkness, and . he. could discern a.-, square of grayer gloom where the window admitted the' night. He moved' rapidly ani silently toward it, but ^lmost^With'the last step his foot slipped through a broken sp8t on the floor, and he staggered arid fell. The revolver was thrown from, his grasp, but he was able to pitch the bag through*,’the-.window'a’s; he crashed to the floor. The. sound arrested, Harris, and be­ fore' Gardiner could, extricate-himself the farmer'was upon him. 'A t first he seemed to think it' was Allan, and felt , about in the darkness without attempt­ ing to defend himself. This gave SaP diner an opportunity; he was able^o clasp his: arms, about Harris' shins, and, with a quick-turn of the body, cast his - adversary , headlong to Ilie floor. At the same moment he freed himself f r o m his'entanglement and made another dash for the window. - But' Harris; still numbed from his heavy sleep, now realized that some kind of tragedy had occurred, and- guessed enough to believe that Allan was a victim. From his'prostrate po­ sition, with one powerful leg lie inters rupted Gardiner's flight, and the next moment the.two' men- were rolling on the floor In each other’s arms: Har­ ris was much the stronger man Of the two, but. Gardiner was active and had some skill'In wrestling. Besides, Har­ ris'had been taken wholly by surprise, and had no idea who his antagonist' was. while. Gardiner had full knowl­ edge of all the circumstances, and the struggle was less uneven than might have ronca' supposed., Inwardly cursing the Inck that’had tlirowii; the revolver from his hand, Gardiner sought' in the darkness for his adversary’s tliroat, nose, or eyes; ' Harris, seizing the younger, man by the waist, lifted him bodily from the floor and crashed him down again Upon it,, but the next in­ stant Gardiner had one of his hands in_ both of his, and, bringing, his 1 knee down with'great force on Harris’ el- bowj. compelled him,-at; the-risk of a broken arm, to turn face downwards on the floor. . Gardlner. agaln wrenched violently to .break free, bUt' Harris’ grip was too much for him, so with' the quickness and fury of a tiger he threjr himself upob. the . farmer’s back and wrapped his free arm about his throat.- With' his air partially cut off Harris released tlie grip of his other hand, and Gardiner instantly took advantage' of this move to bring both arms to bear on Harris’ throat Things began Things Began to Go Badly; With the . • , /Farmer.- to go badly’with th^ farmer; %ace downwards on the Aoorl he was unable to shake his. adversary off, and was losing Strength rapidly with his chok­ ing.

'1I What this paper has said ab^ut Ae administration which has just ’one out of power has been ^inspired iot by the patriotism whichshould „,e the inspiration of all American ^partnership. The National Re- publican said nothing in the heat t>: the last campaign it would not t :peat just as vehemently today, al- ' iough there is no possible person- a ;* or parisan object in "chewing > ier’1 issues upon which the people - f November last, spoke with such !$;s giuificant emphasis. 1 j What the people said on election -’I u, IQ20 was that fhey repudiated ie policies, the tendencies, the ■ ethods, the machinery, and the >! iderlyitig purposes of the Wilson ltnmistration, They decreed a l mse cleaning, They asked for 1Iisinessadministration of the peo- - e’s business involving a departure «om the men and the methods in ir national history never to be ■v rgotteu because of the almost ir- tnevable injury inflicted upon e American people by damagogu- “i1 and doctrinaires. Hwe are to fairly judge the re- rtI of the new administration we ?st comprehend the seriousness ' the defBculties which confort.it, "uounting to absolute chaos in ■tional affairs and international re- , • iloUships. It was three years that listinguished Democratic senator °ke the plain truth in the state- -■:nt that "every department of 'erHineut lias broken down.” It i not difficult to comprehend the , \oc wreaked by three years oper- °n, under the: heaviest stress ever * >ced upon aur governmental tha- , mery, of that broken down or- oization. • ■ ‘ :*'••• :S Sut that inefficiency and waste uch have demoralized the govern-- Wal establishment, and heaped ft S Ia the backs of the American. ■ 1We unnecessary burdens under l>ch they will stagger for 'many ./ ars‘ the widespread industrial de- j esb*on which tjas the inevitable ■ emiath of fiscal policies followed . t^OUt regard to consequences, *■»",existence of army 9f three aind h million !unemployed wage Tners and of twice that many dis- Ring In The^our foreign relations with such a- mazing, absence of attention to American interests, that-' after a war to end war in ,which we gave an army of four million men and in which we poured out more money than we have spent as a govern­ ment in all the century and a -third of our history; we are in more trou­ ble with more nations, we are the object of more general dislike and the target of more hostile 'intrigue and opposition, even from some of the very nations to whose rescue we went in the struggle for a better, civilization, than ever before in all our history. We are told when President Wilson was inaugurated in 1913 that we were summoned to a new .freedom and a better nation­ al and world order. Who can iook back over those eight years and believe that right and justice are better entrenched and that govern^ ment here and elsewhere through­ out the world is more the servant of righteousness than when the drums were sounded for our march iqto the millennium upon the re­ tirement of President Taft? The American people have learn­ ed to their sorrow that high-sound­ ing phrases are a poor substitute for horse sense in the conduct of governmental affairs. They have discovored that old-fashioned Amer­ ican patriotism is a better source of inspiration for service in this re­ public than a grandiose interration­ alism, hich, in the practical world of affairs bumps up against the age- old selfishness and greed of other powers. Eloquence has not trans­ formed these powers into fit inhabit­ ants for the New- - Jerusalem; ' they, picked our pockets at Paris as they joined'us in prayers for a new heav­ en and a new • earth. We have learned that in the eyes of 'the Europediplomacy is still , a poker game in which market cards ' take the Jack pot and pious and trustful inexperience loses the shirt off its back.- Before the new administration, therefore, lies morethan the task-of domestic restoration of efficiency in government, activity in industry and-even faith in and loyalty to the ideals and traditions of the republic among the American people. . It must renew respect for the faith in not merely the good intentions but the good sense of America abroad. •It must estaplish beleif in American purpose. not only to respect. the rights of other Uationsi but to- en­ force respect for. our own,, in this and other hemisphere, not threaten­ ingly, but manfully, not with the result that we will become invol­ ved in trouble but that we will bfe removed; by a courageous, concist- ent course, from the dangers in which dreaming and drijfting have involved us. For the work before the nation there is required, less of “big” talk less of “big” program,—more of quiet, sincere, honest, everyday business common sense. We' need less vision and more eye-sight. We need -less imagination arid ■ more comprehension. We need less per- 'suit of rainbows and;more day to day tackling of the little, immediate problems which go to make up the tig problems. We need less fake advertising and more reputation for delivering the goods. -The less talk and more work the better the people will like it.

The results of my attempt to en­ roll the boys and girls of the coun­ ty in the State - Agricultural club, has been far from encouraging. To sqmCextent it is my fault,--.in that I have not presented, the details of the work to them in the proper manner, then I was unavoidably delayed„in starting the work, and this doubtlessly keeps : many of them out, but from observation in the schools, I am forced to conclude that the absence of encouragement from the parents is the cheif cause of the indifference shown by the children. Davie is essentially an agricultur al county, consequently the progress of the county- in every respect is entirely dependent upon the-rural communities. When we allow the interest of the youngpeople to leave the country we are paving the way for another generation without ad­ vancement or progress. No rural co mnu-.ity can prosper if the most intelligent boys and girls are per-, mitted to leave for- the cities -and they cannot be kept from the cities unless they are shown Jhere can be a profit on the farm. ■ If the only aim of the clubs were to show that a profit can be made by increased yields'if would still be worthy of the devotion and untiring effort of those who are interested in making the work a success. It is hoped through these clubs, to in­ terest the boys and girls in the up­ building of rural N. Carolina. It is the object of these clubs to prove to the boys and girls thqt there is more to the soils and country ■-life than the fanner has ever gotten-out of it1, to inspire them with love of the land and with a inspiration- for a deeper study of nature, to show to the.boys and girls of the country--that their success is in direct proportion to the intelligence with which labor is ap­ plied and to impress on the boys and girls the great opportunity for-the use of trained intellects in the solution of large rural problems. In the counties that have the Club Work the best developed you wiil find there the best churches, the best schools and the best homes I do not ask you to take my word for it, but look around you a bit and draw your own conclusions. You have the best type of soil of of any county in this section of the state, anyone that is familliar with this section will tell, yOjfli that, -yet we are behind ouf neighboring counties in most respecrs........ Friends we must wake up, we must keep the young people at home if we expect to keep pace with the times and our neighboring counties. We must .all work together for the general upbuilding of the county. Without yonr support I- can be of little service to your county. Give me your support in this; important work. Every parent .that in any way keeps the child out of- the Cluli when he wants to join, is denying his. child the right of better prepar­ ing himself for future life. S. H.

PLANS TO DECLARE STA TE OF W AR W ITH GERMANY ENDED, , IS VEXING PROBLEM . M Y GADSE EMBARRASSMENT D eclaration of Peace W ould Mean th e Prom pt W ithdraw al of O ur Troops From th e Soil of G erm any. Washington.—Allied ocupation of additional German territory is under­ stood to have presented to President Harding a new problem arising from a relation of these changed conditions to previous plans for early declare tion by congress of the ending of the state of war between- the ■ Thiited States and Germany. Some congressional leaders, who, all along, have been for a peace reso- lution, still think that solution should be applied as soon as possible. Oth­ er leaders, however, fear that it would 'cause embarrassement to the nations with which the United States was as­ sociated in the war and should be de­ ferred until the situation in Germany had .clarified itself. President Harding is represented as having approached his study of the question with the view that the United States should exercise caution in whatever steps it determines to take in order that there should be no complications of the already difficult situation faced by the allies. In line with this viewpoint, attention has been called that American troops are in Germany as a war measure. Teiv mination of the war, it is argued, would automatically require with­ drawal.

Washington. — President Harding has had his first taste of the Irish problem and ' has met the issue squarely by declining to permit the United States government to be drawn into any action that might be construed as a recognition of the Irish republic. Mr. Harding received a telegram couched in terms-so displeasing and so caustic that he did not answer it in person hut directed his secretary to sign the reply. The message was sent by John F. Harrigan, state presi­ dent of the Massachusetts Council of the American association for the Rec­ ognition of the Irish Republic. The sending of the Harrigan mes­ sage to President Harding waB the subject of a - long conference after which President Harding decided that it was time to make clear the position of his administration on the -Irish question. He himself feels the warm­ est sympathy with the aspirations of the Irish people and were he an in­ dividual without official responsibilty for the conduct of foreign relations h,e would gladly speak his views or even particpate as he pleased-in; any dem­ onstrations in behalf of the Irish cause. . But as president of the United States, in charge of foreign relations and obliged daily to deal with the government of Great Britain with which the United States' is at peace he cannot permit anything to happen which the British might make a sub-, ject of official complaint. Washington.—Action of army and navy officers in refusing to permit American troops to participate in an evacuation day parade at Boston of which Irish freedom advocates are in charge was formally'approved by President Harding after a conference with Secretary Hughes, of the state department* and Secretary Weeks,, of the war department. .'

Washington. — President Harding has approved a course of action that may mean more to the prosperity of America — its business revival and permanent development —than any­ thing else that has happened since the close of the European war. American business men are to be mobilized through their respective trades and industries. - , . The United. States government is again to render a measure of co-op­ eration with private business which made possible during the war the building up . of a huge export trade but which since then has been al­ lowed to. lapse. Thorough discussion by President Harding and his cabinet of plans which will be largely in the hands- of Herbert Hoover, secretary of com­ merce, has led to the conviction that ■America must- have foreign markets as the way out of her industrial and agricultural depression and that the American government ■ must' adopt somewhat the same attitude of help­ fulness toward private business as European' governments are adopting Big Road Money fo r S tates, t Washington.—Approximately $622,- 000,000 is available for road and bridge construction and maintenance this year, the bureau of public roads of the department of agriculture an­ nounced on the basis of information compiled from reports from the vari­ ous state highway departments.

FIHST NEWS OF AGTOAL PLAN T he G overnm ent of G reat B ritain is E xpressing th e K eenest In terest rn th e Com ing C onference. Washington.—-Although the official statements insist that Rene Viviani, former premier of France, will-simply pay a' courtesy visit to ,the United States, the truth is he has full au­ thority to negotiate with the -Harding administration concerning a modified league of nations. 1 Ambassador Jusserand has report­ ed that such proposals or suggestions would not .be unwelcome and would be given serious consideration. From this incident may be ‘derived the first news of the way by which President Harding and Secretary Charles Evans Hughes intend-to -pro­ ceed In carrying out the republican campaign pledge which calls for an agreement with Europe to preserve peace. ' Few people believe that the Vi- viani visit will have an immediate effect. On the contrary the expec­ tation Is that a conference of Euro­ pean statesmen will follow the re­ turn of M. Viviani and that Europe will adopt a course of action after heading directly or indirectly from the former French premier just what is to be hoped from the United States. While the government of. Great Britain is not sending any envoy tc discuss the. league of nations" with Mr. Harding, the deepest interest has been exhibited by the British in what may be accomplished by M. Viviani.

The fifty-nine-inch high wheeler has .developed into the modern, record-breaking motorcycle of today, while the- twenty-miles-per- hour pace has been pushed up to the 136-miles-per-hour mark.

New V arieties C onstantly A rriving in Foreign Seed and Through O ther Sources--E ntire Farm s Aban­ doned to P e s ts . (Prepared by the United .States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) The United States* Department of Agriculture has set on foot what is intended to, be the most comprehen­ sive weed survey ever undertaken.. Uji to date comparatively1 little is knowii of American farm weeds. They are classified in botanies and herbariums, but there are no- definite data in re­ gard to their spread; the prevalence of any particular weed in any local-- Hy; the 'amount of annual damage J- Hew weeds, increase of-old species; or local methods of eradication. To supply the need for such data the section of w«ed investigations has sent a questionnaire to ■ all the more than 2,000 county agents of the de­ partment. This questionnaire asks the names of five worst weeds In each county, In order of their Importance; the methods, if a’ny, used by farmers to combat; these weeds; and what Weed problems , are especially serious in any particular county. Comparatively few native American weeds have given farmers serious trouble, but, new varieties are con­ stantly arriving In foreign seed and through other sources. Some of these have become such pests that entire farms have been abandoned to them, A canvass of 200 representative east­ ern "farmers, showed that an average of 22 days a year is spent at the busi­ est . season in trying to get rid of weeds. Investigations by the bureau of plant industry over a number of years are taken to indicate that cul­ tivation after the seedbed is prepared has no other use than to destroy weeds. If -this theory proves correct, it'will add more heavily still to the annual expense chargeable to weeds. ■ It Is the pu.rpose of the department to use the projected survey as'a basis of operation in directing a widespread war on the weeds now here, or the im­ portation of any new ones, and to seek any local eradication methods which may be worth general dissem­ ination. ’ " - MB-BDIl TEST % FAVORED Estim ated Dam age .’by D isease in 1919 Placed a t 125,000,000 Bushels— De­ stroy or Plow U nder AU Stubble PSsslble. (Prepared .by the United States Depart­ment of Agriculture.) Corn, of one variety or another, is our most widely distributed cereal crop. Therefore, any single disease that takes a toll of 4 per cent is a matter for serious consideration. The United States Department of Agricul­ ture estimates the damage done by corn root rots-In 1919 at over 125,000,- 000 bushels.- Multiplied by the aver­ age price of com for that year, we have before-us the unpleasant fact that these rots exacted a tax of over 8200,000,000.

Preparing Rag Dolls According to the Irfiproved Method, ture, say ' specialists of the United States Department of . Agriculture. They affect the kernels of com in such a. way that while they may germi­ nate they often will produce sickly, diseased plants which may die in early stages or produce infected com. These diseases weaken the plants at the low­ er joints, and if they come to maturity, the damage is perpetuated. It is necessary for farmers wishing to avoid com root rot to germinate kernels from every ear of corn to be used for seed. The simplest method Of making a test is by means of an improved rag-doll germinator. This, In its essential features, consists of nothing more than a broad strip of muslin backed by moistureproof fiber paper. Hows of seed kernels are placed on the' cloth which is rolled up and left In a warm box. The re­ sults are, of course, checked aghinst the ears from which the kernels were taken, and only perfect, or nearly per­ fect, ears are kept for seed. This germinator is very simple and fur­ nishes a practically complete test. Bleached or unbleached muslin can be used for the rag doll. The "cloth, which usually comes in a 54-inch width, is tom across into 12-inch strips, 54 inches long. Before being used the cloth is boiled, and It should be damp when the seeds are placed on it. This cloth is laid on a strip of glazed paper,' a little longer than the cloth, to allow folding over at the ends, fresh newspapers being placed on the table under the paper to avoid infection. About 8 kernels are then taken from each ear and, beginning at the butt, ate laid in rows across the' muslin strip, so that when the strip is roiled up and placed in a. germinating box the -tips of the seed will be down­ ward. The rag dolls are sprinkled twice. daHy, and at the end of 7 days are taken out, . unrolled, and .in­ spected, The appearance o f' the'- sproutg is a guide" to' the quality of the seed! If more ,than one seed, shows signs of infection; the. infected ear is thrown qpt. If the farmer has enough com it is best to fhrow out an ear for a single bad kernel. ’D estroying th e Stubble.: ’ Hoot rot is carried' oyer. In; stubble, and every effort should be made to de­ stroy or plow, under as much stubble as-possible. "Increasing the fertility of the soil and crop-rotation have also: been fqjind beneficial. One-difficulty about rotation as a remedy is that root rot affects com and: wheat, and -In many localities -is always ‘ present on the farm. For this reason -the- de­ partment is anxious that rag-doll germ- inators be put into general and Intelli­ gent use; and the season started with , clean seed. , Egg M ash Is Essential. -‘Without a good egg mash "a hen can-' not'lay the maximum of eggsr She. requires daily a large aiinount'-of pro- eln in Uie most available farm to make the white or albumen of th» egg.

This the secretary said, “is . an infinitely greater task than was ever under­ taken by any nation in the world in time of peace and there is no one, skilled in financial operations, who does not view the prospect with more or less alarm. With this situation facing us it is the height of folly to undertake new commitments if they can be avoided. The war secretary discussed econ­ omy in government operations, reor­ ganization of federal activities In Washington, taxation and the tariff. He urged repeal of the excess profit tax declaring that in a period of fall­ ing prices it was not an effective tax as probably would be shown when the returns for this year were pub­ lished.

The tendency to self-excuse is typi­ cal of the conceited. They simply wjll pot see themselves for what they are— persons who' have a .great deal Iil learn. And because they will not ad­ mit even to themselves-that they need self-improvement they remain perpet­ ually In need of It Are not persons thus conditioned more deserving of pity than of con­ tempt?

He didn’t have no more sense than to drive a slx-horsq circus wagon team up a blind alley one day.” , B right Youth. The clergyman was examining the Infants’ class.

TY ROBT. J. C. STEAD (Continued from last week.)*™ W itb a yeli of pain G ardiner sprang, to his feet, jerking the farm er into a half-sitting posture as he did so, and H arris, w ith a great gasp fo r air, re­ linquished his sudden and unexpected advantage. B ut G ardiner’s head w as again In com m and; he rushed tlfrough the door, half falling over the obstruc­ tion as he went, and In an instant w as loot In the gloom of the night. F o r some m inutes H arris lay on the floor, recovering his breatlh A s the oxygen welled back Into his lungs he began to realize that, save fo r • his choking, he-w as unhurt. W ith return­ ing strength his thought reverted to Allan, and, !calling the boy’s nam e, he sprang to h}s feet. The first thing w as to g e t.a light. - H e found m atches In. his pocket, struck ope, and peered ea­ gerly into the gloom as its flickering flame beat back the darkness. A blan­ ket, rolled and stained, lay in the door­ way, and w ithin w as a figure that m ight once‘have been a m an. H arris’ h eart alm ost stopped a t the sig h t: "Al­ lan," he gasped, “my boy, A llan!” H e tiptoed across the crum bling floor to­ w ard It, holding the m atch before him. A m an’s boot and p a rt of a trouser leg protruded from the m ass. H e held the m atch downward, leaning over them. They w ere not Allan's. “Thank God,” he m urm ured, swell­ ing w ith a great hope, “thank God for that.” H e struck another m atch and found the lantern. W hen-he had llglited it he surveyed the little building, and saw A llan’s gun lying at the end fa r­ thest fro m -th e door. N ot until that, m oment did he think of the money. A llan had been upperm ost In his mind, and when he thought of Allan money w as no consideration. B ut now a great w ave of understanding rushed in upon him. Yes, the bag w as. gone. They had been attacked by robbers. Knowl­ edge of their expedition had in some w ay got to evil ears, and while he slept Allan had been set upon. Ilie boy had emptied his gun—the huddled m ass In the doorway told th at tale plainly enough—but other robbers had seized the cash and Allan had pursued them empty-handed. They had fired at him as he rushed from the building— th at was the flash he saw a few sec­ onds after the first loud report. He w as not quite clear as to his own share In the fight, b u t he saw the gen­ eral plan of It plainly enough. H e be­ gan to w onder w hat had happened to G ardiner and Riles. H ad they been shot down as they wound through the woods? This w as evidently the work o f a gang prepared to stop a t nothing. H arris never for a m om ent suspected hts old neighbor of treachery. H e w as him self a hard, grasping, money-seek­ ing man, b u t be had a code of honor none the less, and w ithin its lim ita­ tions none w as m ore honorable than ,be. To have done w hat Riles had done would have been quite Impossible for John H arris, and because it w as im­ possible fo r him its possibility for R iles never suggested itself. H arris had n o t y et fully realized the loss of his . money. I t w as overshad­ owed by the m ore tragic events of which one evidence lay before him. H is anxiety fo r A llan loomed larger In his m ind, although’ he had little doubt th e boy would tak e proper care of himself, and, even if unarm ed, would come back w ith the money and pprhaps w ith a prisoner. The fact th at Allan had not taken his gun w as reassuring;- if there had been any great danger he would not have left it behind. B ut .he m ust get out now and aid in the search. As he reached this decision his eye caught a gleam of som ething shining on the floor. H e w alked to it and •found a revolver, fully loaded except for one cham ber, which had been dis­ charged. “T his is evidence,” said he — “im portant evidence.” H arris had all the Old O ntario contem pt fo r this kind of weapon; and knew com para­ tively little about it, but he concluded from its appearance th a t it w as al­ m ost new. As he exam ined it his eye fell on the initials, “J. T.,” cut in the grip. “J. T.,” he said to him self. “J. T. T hose initials seem fam iliar. FU ju st leave this thing w here I found it, un­ til the police see it" - Replacing the weapon on the floor, h e stole out the cabin, avoiding the silent obstruction In th e doorway. Out­ side he stood for a m om ent undecided. The circle -of light from his lantern m ight beacon A llan back to the shan­ ty, but it would also prove a signal to th e robbers, If they w ere stiU in the vi­ cinity.-. The ro ar of w ater cam e up from the vaileys, b u t above or through th at roar suddenly be fancied he heard a sound from the bushes n ear a t hand. H e held his breath, and listened in­ tently. Yes; there it w as again—a hu­ m an sound, beyond question, half groan, half .H e turned In the direction frdhfpffi{y§|fej»ii]e and'stole quietly fonVnrd'. 'Half-'a-dozen yards from the bpUding the light revealed, first a shadhw,’ and then- a figure lying on th e ground. W ith some trepidation H a rris approached. T he m an’s .,arm s had been extended when he fell; and bis coat w as throw n over his head. H arris stooped and drew it down over th e shoulders exposing the face. It w as Allan. - The first shock of th e revelation al­ m ost stopped the- h eart of the old form er, and he sat back as one dazed, unable to accept the testim ony of his own eyes. - Then cam e a panic of un­ certainty, and he fell upon th e boy, groping w ildly fo r U g heart and a t .®M! M v i i ftficofed, M O ieS sV itt^ fo C ;iiA feca ■&* Iast pressffig tipdh f t 'AT an agony of fear. * * * Yes, th e beat w as there, fain t and uneven, b u t unm istakable. W ith a sudden surge of returning hope be brought his e a r down to th e open m outh, fringed w ith light red foam , and could h ear th e a ir laboring in the ravaged lungs. T hen cam e th at hu­ m an sound, h alf gurgle, h alf groan; b u t to H arris, In th e reaction from his first paralyzing fear; it w as as very m usic from heaven. H is boy still lived, and still should live. T enderly he turned th e body to a m ore com fortable position, laying his folded coat beneath th e head fo r a pillow. H e loosened th e sh irt about the neck, and fa r down the heaving chest saw the sodden‘red th at m arked his wound. R ain fell in scattered drops, and he brought another blanket from the cabin, caring little now foi the silent form In th e doorway In. the sudden shadow of his greater tragedy.- H e spread the blanket over the wound­ ed boy. and sat down by his side, ca­ ressing his tem ples w ith his big fin­ gers, and wondering w hat to do next. A s he sa t the helplessness of his po­ sition grew upon him. H e w as deep tn the foot hills, m any m iles, as far as he knew, from the hom e of any set­ tler. In daylight he could, no doubt, find his way back to town, but daylight m ight be too late. H e did not know w hether Allan w as dying on his hands a t th at m oment. C ertainly to attem pt to move him in the buggy would be dangerous In the extrem e. And as he sat he thought of the m issing money, the fru it of his life’s labor, snatched from him in a moment In the darkness. The loss did not hurt him as deeply as he m ight have thought; he w as num bed by the great­ er blow th at hung over him.. If Allan would only live! * * * The boy had been his constant companion since ba­ byhood. AU his hopes, all his ambi­ tions. which had found their expres­ sion in his years of feverish toil, had been w rapped about Allan. H e had no one else. * * * H is better self revolted at that thought. “Yqu have a wife and .daughter,” it said, “ready to sliare your life as soon as you are ready to share theirs.” H e forced ,his mind from th at phase of hts position, but it re­ verted to it again and again; H e could not w ander in m em ory up th e.p ath of Iiis boy’s life w ithout m eeting his boy’s m other. And all the pain and unhap­ piness of the later years—how It cut like an evil bank of fog across the once bright course of their career! But he had suffered fo r their sakes. hold­ ing fast to his own course because he' knew it to be best. * * * Best? And it had brought him to this? * * * The, question would not down. R ather than relax an iota from his own put pose he had broken up bis fam ily,; he had,, crushed them under the wheels of his Inflexible will, and now th at sam e will had driven his son to destruction and him self to ruin. It is not easy for a man who has laid out a career and followed It w ith all the energy of a virile nature, recast­ ing his gods from tim e to’ tim e to con­ form wltb the evolution of his ideals, but u v istin g alw ays In tile- mold of bis own will rath er than any vessel of creed or persuasion—it is not e a sy fo r sudi a m an to stop a t fifty and say, “I w as wrong.!’ It requires a break In his process of evolution,' a shock suffi­ ciently powerful to pulverize his gods before his face, to drive hom e the truth thnt they w ere not gods a t all but m ere idols of ^iis own creation. Tn H arris’ later life two idols had grown up to the exclusion of all oth­ ers; they w ere the wealth which he had builded w ith his hands and the boy, Allan, about whom he w rapped all the affection of his n atu re; and they had crum bled to dust even w hile he worshiped. H e found a flask throw n from some cam per’s pack, and filled it w ith w ater a t the m ountain stream th at rushed by a few rods below th e cabin. H e placed the liquid to the boy’s lips and fancied' th at som e drops found entrance. . H e had stanched th e wound as best he could w ith fragm ents torn from the lining of his coat, and he sa t down again to w atch. U ntil m orning he could do nothing m ore. Then some camper, lum berm an, or surveyor m ight happen along th e road. If not, he would have to move A llan a t all risks. I t took tim e for him to . realize the utterness w ith which his plans had collapsed. As -the night wore on he was able t o weigh his disaster In a more balanced mind,, but its m agnitude grew In th e weighing. From prosper­ ous am bition he had been sw ept In an hour to penniless ruin. H is destruc­ tion w as alm ost complete. T he old farm , the scene of his labors—h is and M ary’s—w as gone. If A llan should die th ere rem ained nothing m ore. ■ Suddenly he fancied he heard the sound of horses’ hoofs in the clay road along the hill side, now softened w ith the light rain. T he sound ceased as suddenly as it began, and It occurred to him th a t it m ight be one of the rob­ bers returning. T he lantern w as burn­ ing low, b u t as a. precaution he now turned it quite out. T here' w ere some cartridges In A llan’s pocket; he felt fo r them and 'decided to briafe.the gun o u t of th e cabinet B ut' bef|ljpfuF' could put his deelsion. into effect be- observed the form of a m an m oving isilently but briskly tow ard the cabin. H e held his breath and rem ’a'ined obscured in the bushes. Dim ly he discerned the form , stop a t th e door Ond peer into the darkness. T here w as-no doubt in th e m ind of H arris as to th e evil intent of the: vis­ itor. H e had come on horseback near th e building, and had then dism ounted and stole up to it on fo o t T hat in it­ self w as sufficiently incrim inating. O ne who w as riding through the m ountains on a legitim ate errand, and who/Bhew nothing of th e n ig h ts J d fra j^ b U h t- take no such precautions. U narm ed as he w as, H arris resolved th a t the robber, probably th e m urderer; of his son, should not on any account escape him . W ith the blanket w hich he. had brought to cover A llan w as a bag in w hich they had carried oats for. th eir h orses; this he found in the darkness, and stole after his victim . H e-over- took .him standing a t the do.or, In ap­ p aren t hesitancy w hether to en ter the building. W ithout an instant’s w arn- Without an Instant's Warning, Harris Threw the Bag About His Head. ing H arris threw the bag about his head, and w ith a quick tw ist of his powerful w rist had his prisonnr se­ curely gagged. Throw ing him violent­ ly to the ground, he tied the sack In a hard knot, and, despite all struggles, dragged him back to where Allan lay. H ere he relighted the lantern, and, cutting p art of th e blanket into strips w ith his pocket knife, securely tied his captive hand and foot. At first the •prisoner tried to talk, but he could not speak, intelligibly through the close- draw n sack, .and presently lie gave up and lay In silence in the w et grass. — And again the leaden night wore on, broken only by occasional gurglings in the throat of Allan, or futile struggles by the prisoner. H arris felt little curi­ osity concerning th e Identity of the m an in gags before him, or the victim of A llan’s gun in the doorway. They w ere absolute strangers to him. and be even feared th at If he should look into the face of the.one th at still lived his anger over th e, assault upon Allan would burst all bounds and he would kill his victim on the spot. H e was slowly forced to' the conclusion th at R iles and Gardiner, had also m et with foul play, and that no h elp 'w as now to be expected from th at quarter. Ju st as the first bars of gray in the eastern sky proclaim ed approaching' dawn, the sound of horse's hoofs came distinctly up the valley. H arris drew him self into a sitting posture, and lis­ tened. A llan w as still bieathlng, and apparently w ith less effort'than earlier In the n ig h t T he sound of the- horse cam e n earer and nearer. At last It was in the road ju st below, and a mo­ m ent later would have passed by had not H arris*called o u t Sergeant Gray instantly sw ung his horse from Ute road and, dism ounting, proceeded in th e direction of' the voices. H arris told his story w ith such co­ herence as he cpuld; H e and ,his son had come up into th e hills to arrange for the purchase of a property which they had become interested in through a third party, G ardiner. T hey carried w ith them a large sum of money as proof of the sincerity of th eir inten­ tions. A t th is little cabin they w ere to be joined by G ardiner a n d by ‘an­ other, nam ed Riles, who also w as tak­ ing an in terest in th e property. As they w aited In the cabin, and as he, H arris, slept a fte r his long drive, th e y ' w ere suddenly se t upon by outlaws. A llan shot one down— th e . body still lay, In th e doorw ay—but, w as h im self. badly .wounded, and had not spoken since. H arris had encountered anoth­ er, but a fte r a severe fight th e robber had escaped. T he little black bag Ih'. which th e m oney w as carried w as gone w ith all its contents. . Although be had w aited all night In great , anxiety, G a r-' diner and R iles had failed to appear, and it could only be supposed th at they too had m et w ith foul play. B ut som e hours a fte r th e assau lt one of the p arty , had returned,'dism ounted from h ia horse a t som e distance, and stolen, softly up' to th e shanty. H arris had L followed biin, and, taking him by sur­ prise, had been able to m ake him pris- 'o n e r.. . . , Sergeant G rey looked from H arris to Allan, and then to th e prisoner, who seem ed to lie in a semi-conscious con­ dition am id h is bonds and gags, “You w ere fo o lish 'to come into the hills w ith so much; m oney alone,” he said. “ I would have been a t your service fo r th e asking, and th is would not have happened. B p t now th a t it has happened, th e first thing is to pro­ vide fo r th e w ounded m an; and' t h e . next is to place th is suspect In cus­ tody. I know h rancher’s house a few m iles down th e valley w here you and your son w ill have th e' b est atten ­ tion.” • • T he m ounted policem an m ade a brief exam ination of A llan, a s best he could In th e gray daw n, fo r th e lantern now had no oil. “H e h a s n o t bled very m uch,” he said. “H e . h as a strong d$ame- and ought to have a fighting iance. I w ill ju st, have a loo k .at th e scene o f th e crim e, aricT then we move him .” . . . H e m ade a h u rried survey of the cabin, m erely satisfying-him self th at th e m an In th e doorw ay w as quite dead, and then, w ith H arris’ assist­ ance, quickly found th e horses and harnessed them to th e buggy. H e also found .another horse n ear th e roadw ay, saddled and bridled. “W e will m ake the* prisoner; ride his own horse,” hei said, “w hile you take' your son In the buggy.” T hey placed th e wounded and Btm unconscious .Allan ,In .the buggy as gently as they could, and then Grey gave his attention to th e prisoner. H aving searched his clothlhg for w eap­ ons, he cut aw ay th e bonds th a t se­ curely held his arm s and feet, and re­ leased th e sack from his half-choked throat. T he m an w rithed and gasped fo r fresh air, and th e policem an drew the sack aw ay and revealed the face of Jim Travehs. CHAPTER XII. Converging Trails. Beulah H arris raised h er arm s above h er bead and drank In. the fresh m oun­ tain a ir th a t flooded through th e open window. , They had been g reat tim es—w onder­ ful ' tim es—these w eeks spent in the freedom and harm ony of the A rthurs’ household. M r. and M rs.

They w anted to leave her free to Hve her own life— to shape her career, for a rim e a t le a s t wholly In accordance with her Impulses. The arrival of her m other at th e Ar­ th u rs’ ranch had brought fresh joy to B eulah's life. She saw th e color.com - lng back to the old fare, the fram e straightening up a little, the light re­ kindling In the eye. th e spring return­ ing to the step. She had. not thought that her m other, a fter 25 years of un- protestlng subm ission, had still the nerve to place a lim it on that subm is­ sion, and the discovery had surprised and delighted her. T rue, M ary H arris let it be know n th a t she w as only cn a visit, and In due course would return to her hom e; but Beulah knew the die had been cast, and things could never again be quite as they were. ’ And then a sound caught her ear, and up the trail she saw tw o m en on horseback, a m ounted policem an and another,, and behind them other men driving In a buggy. ' By Intuition Benlah 'knew th a t a m ishap had occurred. Quickly she drew on her sim ple clothing and hur­ ried dow nstairs, but A rthurs w as al­ ready a t the door. The little party cam e Into the yard, and the policem an rode u p 'to the door. T he other horse­ m an sat-w ith his back to the bouse; his bands w ere chained together In front of him. “Good m orning. Sergeant Grey,” said A rthurs. “You’re early out.” T he sergeant saluted. T he saluta­ tion w as Intended fo r A rthurs, but a t th e m om ent th e policem an’s eye. fell on Beulah, and even the discipline of th e force could not prevent a m omen­ tary turning of the head. “I’ve a badly h u rt m an here," he said, “a m an w ho w ill need your hos­ pitality and care fo r som e days. T here w as a shooting up th e valley last night. H is fath er Is here, too, un h u rt physi­ cally, b u t on th e verge of collapse, if I am not m istaken.” “W e will: bring both of them In at once,” said A rthurs. “Beulah, will you call Lilian, and your m other, too? They m ay be needed. B ut w ho is th e third?” he continued, tu rn in g to Grey. “A prisoner.; It seem s the older m an overpow ered him . N ot let us g et this poor fellow In.” . V T he policem an beckoned and H arris drove th e buggy up to th e door.. A r­ th u rs glanced a t him. w ith a casual “Good m orning," b u t th e next Instant his eyes w ere rlyeted on the visitor. “John H a rris]” he exclaim ed, taking a g reat stride forw ard and extending his long arm . “M an; John, Fm glad to see you,1 b u t not in ‘these troubles.” H arris, took his habd In a silent clasp, and th ere w as .a tvannth in It th at set h is h eart beating as it had not fo r years. “It’s hard, Fred,” he m anaged to say In a dry voice, “but it’s good to have you by.” A rthurs bent over Allan, who w as h alf sitting, h alf lying, In the buggy.

NORTH CAROLI^W EDNESDAY, MARCH 3o, 1921 NUMBER 38 PRESID’T HARDING’S RELIGION. Was Converted a t 14 Year* and Stands Firm on th e Fundam ental P rin - 1 ciples of th e Bible, The M n who was inaugurated Presidenton March 4, 1921, was converted at the age. of 14 in a Methodist meeting conducted by Rev. G. L. Hahnawalt, at Caledo­ nia, Ohio. Young Hardmg had the great advantage of. having been bom and reared in a Christian home. His father, Dr. G. L. Hard­ ing, is a Baptist. His mother is a Methodist, who from the first de­ sired her son to be a peeacher. Af­ ter the family moved to Marion, Ohio, Warren joined the Freewill Baptist Church and was au active member until the congregation merged with the Trinity Baptist Church, of which he is at present a trustee. His wife is a member of the Epworth Methodist Church of Marion- Dr. Jesse Swank is her pastor. Mrs. Harding recent­ ly said to a former pastor: “We are praying more and more since the responsibilities of life are get- tiuo heavier.” In view: of Mr. Harding’s Presi­ dency, the Christian people of this country have a pleasing assurance in a little five-minute speech, made by him shortly after his election, before a layman’s convention at Marion, Ohio. He said: T “Not that I have a message; but because this meeting is in our city, I wanted to have an opportunity to greet you and say one or two things which give interest to religious work. “i want you to believe that there is an individual who believes iu the reconsecration of a religious repub­ lic. I have for my inheritance a Christian belief, and I have in my veins the blood of Christian parent­ age. I have been preaching to my countrymen the gospel of rever­ ence. I do not believe we can have the highest type of civilization with­ out its religious strain. We need its influence, and we need its dis­ cipline. “Sometimes I think that the world is adrift from its moorings of religion, and I know it will help if there come a great renewal of faith. I am trying to bring into practice in America the government which emanates from the meeting of minds. I have no higher concept in the world than just government, and I do not see how a government can exist in the world without com­ ing in contact with God. “I could not hope for a happy relationship among nations if there is not the same current of recog­ nition of the Supreme Being. A- nierica will take her place in mak­ ing a world peace and answer every American aspiration without the surrender of one thing we hold dear as Americans. When it comes to an association of nations, I do not think that any association of nations could be successful in which God is not recognized. “I do not intend to come as. the finest example of what- a man ought to be; but I rejoice in the inheritance of.a religious belief, and I do not mind- saying that. I gladly go to God Almighty for guidance and strength in the re­ sponsibilities that ■ are coming to me.”—Nashville Christian Advo­ cate. ’ ■ Aa Editor AsbcraItSees It.

Ari'editor who fails to do- this does the town or community an tnjustice. For, in most towns there is no more of the bad than of the good, and the bad always seeks praiss—the fashion­ able bad. Classes in a community or town are like children in a home. Each child has his or her natural inclina­ tion to do things, most of which tend, to evil. And the parent or hired nurse, who; m order to please every child alike, praises everything everyone does—the bad acts'as the the good—will build up and unde­ sirable home, and turn out a rest less family of dangerous men and women. - So, an editor of any other “com­ munity builder,” praises everything alike the bad as well-as the. good in a town, arid especiall y, in the am­ bitious young city,. will spoil the child and turnout a wicked,, grown city, one to be shunned by the good- and dammed by the bad.—Times- Mercury.

The food that he eats, the clothes hat :he wears, the recreation and a- masement that he enjoys, all ongi- hate-in the town, because the money iWJth which they are procured is made there. When a fellow boosts his .own town he does not stop there. ■He-is preforming an act that impro­ ves, his own condition, for every good deed has its elevating influence •A few people are always home boost­ ers. They accomplish munli in every way of community betterment and this improves the condition of not only themselves, but also of those who do no boosting at all. If every citizen would constitute him­ self or herself a home town booster the result collectively would be many times as great, and opportuni­ ties for self improvement would b^ more numerous. ■ Think it over in your odd moments.

A Good Farmer. • The editor accompanied County Agent Warren to the form of George T. Tucker two miles south of Ad vance last Friday. Mr. Tucker has a farm of about 400 acres. He has I worked long and hard on this farm many improvements.' Mr. Tucker believes in clover, but he doesn't believe in mowing it. He has several Anefields of clover and has some of the finest oats we have seen this year and some good wheat Hs has a number of cattle—the Black Augu , md will increase his herd. He has an ideal cattle farm and ct u>d surpass the Catawba cattle farms were he to put his whole time to this lineof work. Besides his grain crops Mr. Tucker is a good tobacco farmer. He gut an average of around 25 cen s for all his 1920 tobacco, and the year previous he sold 700 pounds for $700, Davie county needs more progressive farmers like Mr. Tucker. We took a look at his smoke house, his or­ chards and his pigs. He has never had to buy a pound of meat or flour. When is North Carolinagoingto sell some, bonds and begin building hard surface roads? Surely the “Old North State”-is not going to flunk on this big job. The Record man is not asking for any office under the Hardingor any other administration and can say and think what he pleases regardless of consquences, which is worth a good deal. • .. Editing a . country newspaper has its joys as well as its. sorrows. The editor doesn’t have to pay any income-tax, serve on a jury or leave a big estate for his relatives to fight over after he has been jeiked hence. We have nothing to do with it, but The Record hopes that. Gover­ nor Morrison will not appoint Aus Watts to any office. Therearelots of good men in North Carolina who need the jobs worse and many that could perhaps fill them better.

A large number of our citizens say they want an independent, progress- . ive set of men to run the affiars of the town for the next two years. It seems to us that a mass convention should- be held and a set of good men nominated to fill these offices. More than one hundred new sub- scribers have been added to our lists since the first of the year. The citizens of Davie county may not all agree with us politically, but they realize that if they get the news of the county they must take The Record or borrow their niegh- bor’s paper.

Soil erosion is without doubt the most formidable enemy the southern farmer has to.contend with. Si is directly respoueible for the laying wast of millions of acres of land and the loss of millions of dollars in the south. It has been estimated that this annual loss is something like $85,000,000. - The annual rainfall of- the ’ south is sufficient', if conserved, to pro­ duce maximnm crops, yet there is no section of it that does not suffer drought. The reason for this is that most of the water that falls is allowed to run off. The soil is not in .condition to permit of rapid per­ colation-, therefore it is forced to reach the lower levels by running over the surface of the ground, causing the soil to- wash. Soil washing not only ruins the uplands but also damages the bot­ tom-lands by covering up the pro­ ductive loams with a sandy mater­ ial that is less productive, and by filling up the streams and causing them to overflow. While-the tvpe of soil generally found in this county is not usually susceptible to erosion, the contour of the land makes' soil ernsiou a se­ rious problem for us. Thoiisands of dollars are annually flowing down the streams "of this county that should be kept at home. We know that it is impossible to keep all the water that falls from running off over the surface of the ground be­ cause of the torrential rainfalls that often occur in the south,-but we do know that the amount can be ma­ terially reduced by proper soil man­ agement. The three important conditions affecting soil washing are abstnce. of vegetable matter, in the soil, shallow plowing and improper ter­ racing or ditching. If we will plow deeper, incorporate .more humus with our soils and terrace our fields thousands , of dollars worth of plant food that go down the streams will be saved for future use. Call on fhis office'to assist you in' laying but your terraces and in planning a systematic rotation of crops that will insure you an abundance of organic matter for your soil.' S. H. WARREN, Co.

I am un­ equivocally against the making and selling, of whiskey. The men who are lying out in the bushss making whiskey, and those who are Selling it to young boys .of our town and Coun tv. are vicious and unprincipled criminals, and I hope will be caught and so punished that they will quit the business. ,I favor in most convic tions a sentence to the road unless justice will be met by a different punishment-. I favpr a law mak­ ing it a felony for any one to put up a distilery on the lands of a- nother without the consent of the owner of the land, and where it can be proven that the owner gave his permission, he should be severely punished. The Law and Or­ der League as I understand it, is more anxious to influence men en­ gaged in the vile business, to quit and lead honorable aud decent lives than they are to see them prosecuted - in our courts and sent to the roads.; I ain practicing-law.for a living, and1 unless I can help those being prose­ cuted for violations of the liquor laws to get out of the business and quit it I don’t want their cases. I will not knowingly aid and abet any one in violating the laws or doing a dishon­ orable thing. Those who are trying to pull off some rascality, or are trying to avoid' paying . an honest debt cannot employ me to assist them in their, dishonest deals, if I know it. I hire myself to those needing it in an honorable way, I do hot sell" my­ self to them. If you are indicted for making selling pr transporting whisk­ ey, and want to get out of. the busi­ ness and quit, and get work and make an honestJiving I will help you, oth­ erwise I don’t want your employment or your money. The above is writ­ ten because I understand some dirty skunks are trying -to misrepresent me, and. I desire that all the people know exactly where I stand in these matte s I am not ashamed of my 1 connection ^ i.h the Law and Order League. I have done nothing to apo­ logize for, nor have Idone anything of which I am ashamed. I had rather help save the boys and girls of my County from the curse of the liquor traffic, than to have the good wishes of all dirty cusses in the liquor busi­ ness and all their money. My a !vice to these people is to quit, it is only a question of time that you are gciog to be caught and your punishment may be greater than you would like to bear.

The evidence presented " “show s clearly th at there are • tens of 'thou­ sands of children now housed in. old, unsanitary, dangerous buildings,” says M r. S trayer in his introduction to the report. “M any of these structures are best classified as firetraps.’’ D ata From 429 Cities.. D ata w as received from 429 cities. T he report say s: “These facts, ob- - tained from 75 per cent of all the cities reporting, show th at in these cities, even ‘excluding those housed In annexes ‘w here conditions m ay be . norm al, there are m ore than 453,000 children who are either on h alf tim e because of lack of building space or are housed in' portables, rented build­ ings, attics, basem ents or corridors. I t would require an average of two fiO-room buildings In each of these cit­ ies to properly house these groups of children alone.” The report sets forth statistically th e inadequacy of playground space. “It is clear, th a t in m any cities chil­ dren are now housed in ,buildings In w hich there is less space on the piay- •n-ound than is supplied in th e class­ room s in w hich they are taught,” says M r. Strayer in the introduction. “T hree m illion six hundred thousand children are represented in th is report on playgrounds," it is stated, “and the study discloses th a t one-half of them —I 1SOO1OOO -children—have each a play­ ground less than sis by six feet p er pupil, and m any of them haVe no p lay­ ground a t all. “These facts of lim ited playground space,” says the report, “present one of the serious problem s confronting those who are interested in th e wel­ fare of A m erican school children. W hatever the cost, adequate play­ ground space should be provided for those school buildings already erect­ ed in congested districts. Public sen­ tim ent m ust become so- strong th at it will be considered a breach of tru st fo r school authorities to e re c t a school' Imilding on a site that will not afford adequate playground space for all the pupils housed In the building.” Few Fireproof Buildings. On the subject of fire hazard in Schoolsi th e report sta te s: “Only five p er cent of th e total num ber of build­ ings are of th e types constructed usu­ ally called fireproof. Only a sm all num ber have fireproof elem ents to lessen the fire hazard to the children. A t least 25 p er cen t of the tw o poor­ est types of buildings are o f’tw o or m ore stories, and do, not have a fire escape. T hirty-nine per cent of these two types are w ithout fire extinguish­ ers and less than ten p er cent of them have autom atic sprinkler equipm ent In any p a rt of the buildings. Only 11 per cent have autom atic fire alarm s. Such facts as these dem onstrate the exist­ e n c e ^ a real m enace to the children of. these cities." ■ O ne-half of pres­ en t day schools w ere built prior- to 1S97. T he rep o rt directs attention to “the large num ber of children betw een the ages of th irteen and sixteen years w ho leave, th e public schools,” and ad d s: “T here probably is no m ore serious problem or one m ore difficult'to solve now facing th e people of th is coun­ try." A ccording to the rep o rts from 290 cities 6 p er cent of the children have left school before th eir thirteenth year, 19 per cent before fourteen, 38 p er cent before fifteen, 'and 64 p er cent before they are sixteen years old. • “In the geographical groups,” the rep o rt continues, .“th e highest per. cent of these Children rem ain In the w estern cities. N ext In order are the g reat plains cities, th en th e southern, the g reat lakes, and th e low est of all are the .eastern cities. In th is last group only 29 p er cent of the children sixteen years of age, and 50 p er cent of those from fourteen to sixteen years, Inclusive, are in school."

CHOICE DISHES FOR OCCASIONS. When entertaining, some of the fol­ lowing dishes will be enjoyed, or they may suggest something simpler which may be prepared from the mate­ rial at hand. Tongue Slices. — Beat the yolk of one egg slightly, add two table­ spoonfuls of French mustard and one-half teaspoonful . of curry powder. Add gradually a few drops of tabasco sauce, a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, two tablespoonfuls of olive oil, and the juice of half a lemon. Into this dip the slices of .boiled tongue, and when well covered, roll the slices in sifted bread crumbs taken from the center of a fresli loaf. Arrange in a well-oiled broiler and broil until the crumbs are nicely browned. Serve around a mound of hot string beans well buttered and seasoned.' Luncheon Salad.—Cut cooked, car­ rots and turnips In shoestring strips, add roast beef cut in. small'cubes, us­ ing one cupful of each. Add one-half cupful of string beans cut in small pieces. Make a dressing of two table­ spoonfuls of vinegar and four table­ spoonfuls of oil, add one-half tea- spo'onful of salt, one-fourth tea­ spoonful of pepper and ponr over the salad ingredients! 'Mix tlioiv oughly and allow to stand an hour or longer. Arrange on crisp leaves of lettuce; garnish with peas and slices of cooked beets. Serve very cold. Almond Pudding.—Cream one-half cupful of butter and add the yolks of three eggs that have been, beaten thick. Stir in one-fourth of a pound of almonds blanched and ground fine In the nut grinder. Beat in the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs with one- fourth of a cupful of powdered sugar. Bake in greased timbale molds in a pan of water in hot oven. Serve with fruit Juice slightly thickened with ar­ row root or cornstarch. Coconut Ice.—Take one-half pint of coconut milk, one cupful of sugar and one pint of water. Boil the sugar and water together five minutes, add the coconut milk and cook two minutes longer, then cool and freeze. If a large quantity is desired soak freshly grated coconut In milk for tvo hours and drain off. This makes a more highly flavored ice. . Make a rule and pray God to help you to keep it, never, if possible, to lie down at night without being able to say, “I have made' one human bfeing at least a littlie wiser, a little happier, or a little better this day." You will find it easier than you think and pleasanter.—Charles Kingsley. THE SAP IS RUNNING. Anyone who has had the thrill of a visit to a sugar bush when the sap is boiling and poured the dellcicus sirup over a pan of snow and eaten the waxy deliciousness, has indeed experienced one of the joys of early spring in tne North country. To be sure, the sirup may be boiled at home and waxed on snow or ice, but the sur- rqundings, the great woods, the chickadees and the smell of boiling sap in'the open can never be imagined if not experienced. There are. so many fine dishes to be pre­ pared from maple sirup and sugar that the following may be enjoyed: Maple Cream Pudding.-Sift togeth­ er one and two-thirds cupfuls of flour with two teaspoonfuls of baking pow­ der. Cream one cupful of sugar with two tablespoonfuls _ of melted fat. beat well and add the yolk of an egg well beaten, two-thirds of a cupful of milk alternately with the flour mix­ ture. Beat well, add a Httle salt and fold in the stiffly beaten white of the egg. Pour into a shallow pan and bake in a moderate oven. Serve with: Maple Cream Sauce.—Take one-half cupful of maple sugar, one tablespoon­ ful of com sirup, two tablespbonfuis of wafer and boil to the 'soft ball stage. Pour boiling hot . over . the stiffly beaten white of a# egg and beat well. Add a pinch of salt and fold In one-third cupful of whipped cream. Maple Filling for Cake—Take one cupful of maple tfugar, or sirup fnay be used ;.. if sugar, add one cupful of soar cream; if sirup,, use one-third less of cream. Boil until waxy and stir in one cupful or less of broken hickorynnt meats. Beat until smooth and firm enough to stay on the cake.

TWO SUITS THAT INTERPRET TYPES THE spring and summer of life, as interpreted in suits for young and older women, meet in the picture above. Here two conceptions are shown, one of them youthful and nov­ el with a picturesque- hint of Spain in its short jacket and handsome sash, the other dignified and conservative, exquisitely tailored, disdaining decora­ tions and faultless in lines /fulfilling the exacting requirement of mature women. Women who have reached middle life and acquired poise, are not amenable to all the whims of fash­ ion* that lure ' their younger sisters. Youth may.disport itself in any of the styles and carry them off, but many of these are hot suited to older women. They are wise when they choose what, looks best on them and, by this means, arrive at a distinction in dress that belongs to their years. The handsome suit at the left is made of beige-colored poiret twill. All that may be said of it is told by the camera-which has not failed to pre- sedt every detail in its makeup. The plain, semi-fitted coat introduces a short, rippling peplum, in three sec­ tions, and falling within three inches of its hem. This is a new feature and the regulation narrow belt, of the material, finisbes. Its brief story with a large and handsome ornament at the front, unexpected and unusual. Except for groups of three very smali buttons ,.set on the sleeves and be­ tween the sections of the' peplum, there hre no other decorative details. The hat of’ soft milan braid, with wreath of fruit and flowers, is exactly what it should be to bear this suit company. Navy blue tricotine makes the suit for younger women, with side-plaited skirt and short jacket. The jacket is lined with gray silk and opens over a vest of silk like the’lining. Em­ broidery In self color gives the jacket a rich finish, which the skirt lives up tfi by means of a §ash of heavy, blue satin ribbon, having its ends finished with the handsomest of silk fringes. For Her Dress Up Occasion ' T HIS season presents for the con­ sideration of busy but fastidious mothers many ready-made frocks for little girls that will come up to their standards of good taste In choice of materials, in design and in workman­ ship. To ' start off- with, there are everyday dresses in lighi-colored, plain chambrays and very small-checked ginghams, that have white lawn col­ lars and cuffs. A thin white rick-rack is used to finish edges of belts or decorative bands on them, or the col­ lars ,and cuffs are embroidered with tiny silk or yam flowers. Besides these pretty cotton fro.cks there are bloomer suits made of black taffeta silk with yam stitching in bright colors for embellishment on collars, sleeves and sometimes as a finish to hems. They, are very simply cut, much \ like the dress of colored organdy shown at the left "of the two pictured above. ThlsSittle frock may be taken as a first clasp example of models In .colored and white organdy which this spring offers to most dress- up occasions in the little girls’ sum­ mer. J With it a pretty frock of dot­ ted ,swiss adds its testimony to: the vogue for the simplest de­ signs In little* girls’ clothes. The hat to match is another style- feature worth considering. It has rivals in the most adorable and friv­ olous of little sunbonnets, made .of colored organdy and trimmed with organdy flowers. They go a long way so far as being ornamental ls> con­ cerned but, as a protection against the sun, may need to call in a diminu­ tive parasol to help them out ~. In ginghams, cross bars and checks in small patterns appear to be favored with collars, cuffs, pockets and belts in plain chambray or collars and cuffs of white lawn. The two little misses pictured are correctly dressed with dainty white, petticoats under their sheer dresses and footwear that Is above criticism. . csmiOHT iy virraH Ntvsawa unim Hand-Painted Leather Belts.

THE DAVIE RECORD, MOOKSVILLEt NORTH CAROLINA MAN SPENDS 12 YEARS IN BED Pcominent Rochester Citi­ zen Tried Ten Years To Get Relief, But Tanlac Is Only Thing That Helped Him. One of the latest to testify regard­ ing the powers of Tanlac, the cele­ brated medicine which lias been ac­ complishing such remarkably results, is James J. Beasley, 102 Elmdorf Avenue, Rochester, New York. !Ir. Beasley has been chief record keeper for the Department of Water Works, city of Rochester, for thirty years and is a well known and highly re­ spected citizen. In referring to the remarkable recovery of his health by the use of Tanlac, Mr. Beasley said: “I have been trying for' ten years to find relief from a case of dys1 pepsia. Nothing- ever helped me to amount to anything until I got Tan­ lac. This is saying a great deal, for I did everything it seems" that a man could do to find relief. Of course, I was hardly ever sick enough to go. to bed and was most always able to keep going, but I just never felt right. At times during those ten years, my stomach would become sour like vinegar. I would have an uncomfortable bloated up feeling af­ ter eating that would last for hours. I suffered a great deal from nausea. At times my heart would flutter and palpitate and I would become alarmed over my condition. My nerves were on edge all the time, and I became irritable, nervous and restless. I had no strength or energy to do anything. In fact I wasn’t like myself at all. Even a week or two ago it was an effort for me to get out of m y chair and I felt as stiff and clumsy as an \ JAMES J. BEASLEY Of Rochester, New York.. ‘old work horse.’ “It is really remarkable what Tan­ lac has accomplished in my case. It lias relieved me entirely of indiges­ tion, I never have that distressing feeling any more after eating, and I feel perfectly fine in every way. I will always feel grateful for w’hat this wonderful medicine has done for me and I am only too glad to give it my heartiest endorsement.” Tanlac is sold by leading druggists everywhere.—Adv. 1 IW I00T0HS IEAT OOLDS ANDTHE FLU First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk BurgatiYe With Calotabs, the Purified and Befined Calomel Tablets that are Nausea- less, Safe and Sure. "" Uoctors have found by experience that no medicine for colds and influ­ enza can be depended upon for full ef­ fectiveness until the liver is made thor­oughly active. That is why the first step in the treaitment is the new, nausea- less colomel tablets called Calotabal j which are free from the sickening and ' weakening effects of the old style calo­mel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver may go a long way towards preventing influenza and is one of the most important factors in en­ abling the patient to successfully with­ stand an attack and ward off pneu­monia. One Calotab on" the tongue at bed time with a swallow of water—that’s all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight­ est interference with your eating, pleas­ ure or work. Next morning your cold- has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for break­ fast.

Just now it is consuming good oats and getting into condition for the spring plowing. One day last autumn the animal was pulling a horse rake, according to a witness, when a pack of hounds pursu­ ing a fox came along. It immediately resigned its work and started after the pack. Fences, hedges and ‘ditches formed no obstacle to its passing, and soon it was with the pack and portions Iof the rake were' scattered about the township. It remained until the fox had,been driven to earth and then proceeded homeward. It went to its stall and is still there. In his younger days the animal had been one of the best fox horses in this .section, biit Harvey was not aware of the fact until he had ex­ pended some good money to discover it..

HII ■ Y ■ CAMPAIGN FOR BETTEB SIRES Nearly. 400,000 Head of Stock' En­ rolled—Large Number of Fe- ' males Shown in Records. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ment of Agriculture.) In the three months' period ending December 31, 1920, more than 93,000 head of live stock and poultry were enrolled by 486 owners in the “Better Sires-Better Stock” campaign now in progress to improve the quality of do­ mestic animals iii the United States. This is a large increase over the num­ ber enrolled during the previous quar­ ter. Of the stock listed, 5,379 were males' and, in accordance with the provisions of the campaign, all these were purebred. The female stock numbered 87,703, and the owners have pledged themselves to .breed this'stock to purbred sires only. The county showing greatest activ­ ity in the campaign for better live stock during the quarterly period was Saline county, Neb. Next In order are Stafford county, Va.; Tippecanoe county, Ind.; Pulaski county, Va.; Fauquier county, Ta., and Platte county, Neb. Craig county, Va., stands out as the principal county, since the‘beginning, of the campaign, in which there appears to be a strong tendency for crossbreeding. During the quarter just ended 17 “Better Sires-Better Stock” emblems were issued to live stock owners In Craig county and all of them owned cross­ breds. Crossbred animals were im­ partially distributed Eimong all class­ es of stock, including poultry. The records of the better-sire cam- paign continue to show that persons using purebred sires for all classes of animals owned have a large number of purebred females as well. In fact, of the 87,703 females recorded during the. last quarter 61,504 were purebred. The. remainder, arranged according to number, were grades, crossbreds, and scrubs. Significant figures In the progress of the nation-wide campaign to increase the’use of<purebred sires are the fol­ lowing : , Up to December 31, 1920, the total number of persons ,enrolled was 3,243. Of these 1,075 are In Virginia, which is the highest state in number of en­ rollments, and 446 are in Pulaski county, Va.; which retains its place as the foremost county. The total stock listed is 394,954, ot which 238,122 are poultry and 156,832, larger animals. Among the latter cat- Good Type of Bull Beinp Used in Better Sire Campaign. tie lead, with 63,663, followed by sheep and swine in order. Smaller numbers of horses, goats, and asses make up the remainder. As regards quality of the female stock, fowls are first, with 70 per cent purebreds, and swine next, with. 65 per cent, while 87 per cent of the cows are purebred. Grade female stock ranks highest with horses, slieep, and cattle In ■ the order named. Cross­ breeding ,is much more prevalent with sheep than with any other class of stock. Only 2. per cent of all the fe­ male stock recorded as being bred to purebred sires are scrubs and the low­ est proportions of these are found In sheep and' swine.

Copeland of the Pub­ lic Education Association of New York City. “The results of a complete phys­ ical examination of 516 pupils of the eastern district high school, Brooklyn, showed "9 per cent Eiffected with car­ diac disease, as against 1.5 per cent among all pupils of the elementary grades,” Dr. Copeland said. “The examination of the high-schopl pupils was made under especially favorable conditions. Of the bejys who were examined 15 per cent showed cardiac trouble and 7 per cent of. the girls were found affected. “There can be no doubt that the per­ centage of cardiacs increased with ad­ vancing age, rather gradually, from eight to .fourteen years, it reaches its maximum at that age." Water Power Put to Good Use, An interesting example of the de- viopment of water power is reported from Cashmere. There the Jhelum river has been , made to generate 'elec- tijical power to deepen its own chan­ nel, and so prevent the overflowing of 200,000 acres of land, which are thus made available for agriculture. The fact that no coal was available, and that the site was 200 miles' from the nearest railway station, made the use of water power imperative in this case. On the whole, it would seem that an overdose of dignity is preferable to entire absence of It.- K ILL R A T S T O D A Y By Using Ihe Gemiino S T E A R N S ’ ELECTRIC PASTE S g S K K & S & f f i & S S t t !SZtggS& S& S**?BEASFFOKDSB-BiETTBBTHANTBAFS - . .Directions In IS languages In every box.TWO Slses, SSo and EL60.

Eias a cold, grip, or other infectious disease sapped your strength? Do you suffer backache, lack ambition, feel dull and depressed? -Look to your kidneys! PhysicianB agree that kidney trouble often results from infectious disease. Too often the Mdneys are neglected be­cause the sufferer doesn’t realize they have broken down under the strain of Bltermg disease—created poisons from the blood. If your back is bad, your kidneys act irregularly, and you feel all run down, use Doan’s KiAney Pills. Doan's have helped thousands. AsH your neighbor! A South Carolina Case Daniel S.

ZY F.OBT. J. C. STEAD (Continued fromlast week.) Jfary Harris mistook Beulah’s emo- tiou for natural sympathy over a suf­ fering creature, and hurried to -the kitchen. Mrs. Arthurs was whispering with her husband In the hallr but a moment later joined Mary at the range. Then Beulab entered the room. The policeman was speaking to Arthurs. ‘•I must go Into town now with my prisoner," he was saying. “I will send out a doctor at once, and In the mean­ time I know you will do everything possible.” • Beulah turned her eyes to the bed. A man was lying there, and an old man was sitting.beside It. At the sec­ ond glance she recognized him, but In an Instant she -had herself under con­ trol. She walked with a steady step to the bed and looked for a full min­ ute In her brother’s face. Then she looked at her father. “What have you done to him?” she said. He threw out his hand feebly, “Ton do well to ask me that,” he said. “I take all the blame.” He raised his face slowly until his eyes mej hers. They were not the eyes she had known. They were the eyes of a man who had been crushed, who had been powdered between the wheels of fate. The old masterful quality, the old Indomitable will that stirred her anger and admira­ tion were gone, and In. their place were coals of sorrow and ashes of’ defeat. For a moment she held back; then, with arms outstretched, she fell upon her father’s breast And then he felt his strength return. He drew her to him as all that Te- He Had Found His Fingers Threading Her Fine Hair, as They Loved to Oo When She Was a Little Child. malned In the world; crushed her to him; then, very gently, released her a little. * * * He found bis fingers threading her fine hair, as. they bad loved to do when she was a little child. / She sank to her knees beside him, and at last she looked .-up In his face. “Forglpe me, my father,” she whis­ pered.. / tie kissed her forehead and Btrug- gled with IiIs voice. “We all make mistakes, Beulah,” he Slid. “I have made mine this 25 years; and there— there Is the price!” - Uis words turned Beulah’s thought to Allan, and the necessity for action brought her to her feet. -“We must save him,” she cried. .“We must, and we will I Is the policeman gone? We must have the best doctors from Cal­ gary.” Looking about she found that Grev and Arthurs had left the room. They had slipped out to leave father and child alone with their emotion, but she found them at the front of the house. _ She seized the policeman by the artn. “You must get us a doctor—the best doctor In the country,” she plead­ ed. “We will spare nothing ” “My. guest, Mlss Harris, Sergeant Grey,” said Arthurs, and the . police­ man deftly, converted her grasp into a hand shake. “Mr. Arthurs has told me the In­ jured man Is your brother. He shall want for nothing. And the sooner I go the sooner you will have help." So saying he rode down to the gate, thanked the cowboy ’who had been keeping an eye on the prisoner,-and the two started off at a smart trot down the trail. t . Beulah retflgg&.tffittejhouse to min­ ister to her brolBlr,^git|Mrs. Arthurs stopped her on-the staUmf “Your mother, knows,” she said. “They are. both In the, room with Al­ lan.” Ger first impulse was to rush In and complete the family-.; circle; but some- fine sense restrained-her. For distrae-' tlon she plunged' Into the task of pre­ paring breakfast . - At length they came down. -Betilah . saw them on the stairs, and knew that 'the gulf was bridged.' “Allan Is better,” her mother, said, when she saw the glrL “He'has asked for you.” And the nest minute Beu­ lah, was on her knees, by the white bed, caressing the locks that would fall over the pale forehead. ' "■> •. Iflft DAVIfi ftECORb, MO CKSViLiE, N MARCH so, 194! “How aid r gef here, Eeuiah ?” he whispered. “How did we all get here? What has happened?” "You have been. Iiurtr -Allan,” she. said. “You have .been badly hurt, but you are going to get well again. When you are stronger we will talk about it, but at present you must He Still and rest” “Lie still and rest" be repeated. “How good It Is to lie still and rest!” Later in the day the pain- In hts wound began to’ give much discomfort, but he was able to swallow some por­ ridge with pure cream, and his breath came easily. His father stayed about the house, coming every little while to look In upon son and daughter, and as Allan’s great constitution gave ev­ idence of winning the fight a deep hap­ piness came upon John Harris. He was able to sleep for a short time,- and In the afternoon suggested a walk- with his wife. Beulah saw that they were arm In arm as they disappeared In the trees by the river.'. “I haven’t told you all yet,”,Harris said to. her. “I have done even worse than you suppose, but In some way It doesn’t seem so bad today. Last nighf I was In Gethsemane.” . It was strange to hear a word sug­ gestive of religion from his lips. .Har­ ris had not renounced religion; he had merely been too busy for‘i t 1 But this word showed that his mind bad been traveling back over old tracks.. “And today we are In Olivet,” she answered, tenderly. “What matters if- —If everything’s all right?” “If only Allan- ,’’ he faltered. “Allan will get well,” she' said. “When he could withstand the first shock he will get well. Of course, he must haye attention, but be Is In the right place for that" “The Arthurs are wonderful people," he ventured, after a pause. “Mary, they have found something that we missed.” “But we have found it now, John. We are going to lake time to live. That is where we made our mistake.” There Whs another pause, broken only by the rustle of leaves and_ the rushing of the river. “Beulah was right," he said, at last. “Beulah Is a wonderful girl, and a beautiful." “She will not be wanting to go back borne with us,” said tbe mother. “So much Jthe better. Mary, Mary, we have no borne to go back to I” She looked at him with a sudden puzzled, half-frightened expression. “No home, John? No home? You don’t mean that?” He nodded and' turned'his face away.- “I said I hadn’t told you all,” he managed at length. * * * “I sold the farm.” - She was sitting on a fallen log, very trim, and gray, and small, but she seemed suddenly-to become smaller and grayer still. “Sold the old farm,” She repeated; mechanically. , - - “Yes, I sold the old farm," he said again, as If finding some deligbt In goading himself wltb-the repetition, '“I thought I saw a chance to make a lot of .money If only I had some ready cash to turn In my hand, and I sold IL I thought I would be rich and then I. would be happy. But- they took the money last night They found out about It some way, and took IL and nearly killed our boy. JIaryr you worked hard all your life, and .today you Imve nothing. I brought, you to this.” . ’ , She saw It all, and for-the moment hei heart shrank within her.'- But she saw, too, the futility of It all. She might have upbraided him; she might have returned In part the sorrows he bad forced upon her, for be was wounded now and could not strike back. But she rose and stretched her arms toward him. “You said I had nothing John. You are wrong. I have you.

It’s impossible to think—I won’t think It, no ,matter what they say I Let them find wljat they Tike! * * * But he’s in a hole, and we’ve got ,to get him out" The mother shook her head with some recollection of the blindness of love. And yet her own heart refused to accept any Idea of guilt on the part of Travers. - “I want to be alone, mother,” said Beulah. VI wantcto be alone, to think. I’m going down by-the river.” As she strode rapidly'through the. paths In the cottonwoods the girl, gradually became conscious of one dominating Impulse In her maze of emotions. She must see Jim. She must see him at once. She must see Irim alone. There were things to be said' that' needed—that admitted—no witness. She knew that Arthurs or one of the men would willingly ride to town for her, or with her, but this was a task for her alone. They must know nothing until It was over. Outwardly CaIml but Inwardly burn­ ing with Impatience, she returned to the house and went through the form of eating supper. Then she dallied through the evening; giving her at­ tention to Allan until' all . the house­ hold, except her mother, had gone to bed. “I will watch with Allan- tonight” her mother said. “You need rest more thari I do. CIe down In my room and try tp.get some sleep.” Her mother kissed her, .and Beulah went to her room. But not to sleep. When silence filled all the house she slipped gently down the stairs, through the front yard, and into the corral. Fortunately her horse bad been sta­ bled. She harnessed-him with , some difficulty In '.the--darkness, and threw herself into the saddle. ,For 100 yards she walked him; then she drew, him ' off the hard, road on to the grass and loosed him Into a trot. Half a mile fi-om the house she was swinging at a hard gallop .down the dark valley. More than, once even the sure-footed ranger almost fell over the treacher­ ous badger holes, but she had learned to ride like the saddle Itself, and she merely tightened the rein and urged him faster; At a crossing her horse almost col­ lided with a boy returning home from some late errand. nOIi1-Mr. Boy,” she said. Y1Come here, please, I want you ■ to help me," The boy approached hesitatingly, as though suspicious that some kind of - trick were being played on him. “Can you toll me,” she said, In a low voice, “where the jail Is? ' I’ll give you $1 If you do.” “There ain't no jail .'here,'miss,” he replied frankly, evidently satisfied Iliat the question1 was bona fide. “There’s a coop, hut yon wouldn’t give-a dime to see Il it's just a kind of a shed.” “That’s just what. I want to find;" she continued, "and i’ll give you $1 to . show me-where it is.” ' • , ; “Easy"pickin’,” said the boy. “Steer your horse along this .way.” He led her through the main part of the town, to where a one-story build­ ing, somewhat apart, stood aloof In the darkness. “Some coop, ain't it?” said her guide, with boyish irony. “My dad says that’s- what we git fer votih’ against the gov- eriment.

'She stole.up along the .wall, but-the window, was; too high-for her. - Search­ ing about the littered , yard she found a square tin, such'as the-ranchers use to carry cool oil.

Anyway, I am on the right side of the wall.” She saw his teeth gleam In the dark­ ness. What a wonderful soul he was I “But you shouldn’t have come like -this,” he protested, and ,his voice was I Your Money s Worth AU VOLUMN XXII. What a Wonderful Soul He Wasl - serious enough. “You are compromis­ ing yourself.” “Not I,” she answered. “These bars are more inflexible- than the stlffest chaperon. And I jnsrhad to see yon, Jim, at.once. We've got to get you out of here.” “How’s Allan?” “Getting1: better.” “And your father? Pretty angry at me, I guess.” “No. Father isn’t angry'any more. He’s-just sorry.” ‘Times are changing, Beulah. But If he wound .that sack-around ray neck In sorrow, I don’t want him at it when he’s cross." ^ . She laughed a little, mirthful ripple. Then, with’7 sudden seriousness, “But, Jlm1 we shouldn’t be jesting. We've got to get you out of here." ■ 'Tm 1 not worrying, Beulah,” he an­ swered. “They seem to have the drop on. me, but" I know a few things they don'L Sliall I tell you what I know?” “No.” “Why?" . “Because It would seem llke.argulng —trying to prove you are innocent. And you don’t need to prove anything to me. -You understand? You don't heed to prove anything to me.” . She felt his eyes hot on her face through.the darkness. “You. don’t need to prove anything to me,” she re­ pented. - “Havp you thought it over,,Beulah?’ 'he said. “I have no righL as,matters . stand, to give or take a' promise. I have no right— ” “You have no right to say ‘as mat­ ters stand’ as though matters had any- ; thing to dir. with IL They haven’t Jim. No, I have not thought it over. This isn't something you think. It is something that comes to you when you don’t think, or In spite of your thinking. But. It’s real—-more real than anything you can touch .or handle —more reaUthan these bars.-which are not so close as you seem to fancy— And then,, between the iron rods across the opeii window, his lips met hers. ’ - * * * "And you were seeking life.

And are. there two windows?’ We must-have two . windows, Jim—one in the east for the sun, and one In tbe-west for tke moun- taius.” , " “Our bouse Is. all window, as yet,” he answered gayly. “And there Isn’t as much as a fence post to break the view.” ■ .
