C O M P A N Y ; f l OUR The Fanners Problem, The ill effects of industries and business depression touch labor, capital, ietalers and farmers alike, a though, perhaps not'in equal de­ gree. Labor finds the pays envelope as formerly. • Capital finds that business must be conducted on a falling demand for seasonable goods has collapsed. The farmer soon learnsthatthe market is glutt:d and that the fruit of his toil brings but scant returns. It is only when the troubles of any of these inter­ ests are considered apairt from the distress of the othfer that they ap­ pear, for the time being, to have the center of the stage. Labor,-] capital, retailers and farmers all clamor for releif, and it is with the consideration of these urge appeals that congress, the various depart­ ments of the national government and the best business minds'of the country are busy. The farmer occupies a unique position. He is laborer, capitalist and seller. His income is not steady He is not paid for his labor by the week or month. The contingencies of crop production introduce an element of uncertainty into any reckoning or ultimate returns. The farmer must wait several months to dispose of the product of his labor which must be applied f.om day to daj. Crops mature at pretty much the same time all over the country. The farmer’s crops, though worth millions, are marked about the !ami. tune. Practically all . the wheat produced is offered for sale within a few weeks after it is threshed. W hen business in general suffer I for any reason, the economic status } of the farmer is directly imperilled. I He must sell his crops regardless of I the price. If credit is close and I money tight he will find prices de- 1 clming iapidly. Yet he must. fell, s Ihe ownership of the farmer’s crop ;| must change at things arfr now. ,; Here arises the farmers’ greatest ; problems.

As cotton goods reach lower prices the Public will buy in large quanities.

Our Principal trouble was that we closed the door through which our pro­ mts had been going by putting tne prices too high. Cotfon.' ' An upheaval in cotton prices is predicted by W. B. Thompson, the New Orleans cotton expert'. Those who have been so busy chanting cotton’s dirge that they have riot protected - themselves against the inevitable resurrection are going'to have to pay a heavy' penalty fqr their neglect, according to the New Orleans man’s way of thinking. x He declares the "cotton sitnation intrinsically is by no means, as bad as current gloomy imagination paints it, because the burden of pre­ sent over-supply . and prospective carry-over is not nearly so heavy as current estimates indicate.” The production ou look, he thinks, in so far as the new crop is concerned- is infinitely more menacing to the consumers than is the present over? supply situation to producers. The demand for cotton is not dead, as it appears to be, but is held in com- ulative abeyance, to be started in- tp hungry activity as soon as the supply situation develops a string­ ency, which, he says is inevitable. “Nothing can prevent materially higher prices ultimately, and noth­ ing but the acquired habit of fear and paqic-bred competition between spot holders to undersell each, other can prevent materially higher prices in the near future.” He cites cal­ culations to show that the probable carry-over of the world July I. T921 will be 6,124,000 bales, instead of 12,457,740 bales, as originally pre­ dicted by the United States bureau of markets. He puts the maxi­ mum 1921 crop at 8.000,000 bales. These, figures,- together with others he cites, lie says will put prices to high levels and that the *'supply situation for the next 12 mouths holds more of menace to the con sumer than the demand situation jmow holds for the products." The present apathetic state of de­ mand Mr. Thompson attributes to two direct Causes, first the inability of.certain Nations to buy at all; and second, the disposition of all Nations not to buy under present conditions..—Charlotte Observer.

Scarcely a week passed but some young man is asking us to point outa field of labor for him. With good attainments, perhaps, or an in­ satiable desire to be at work at some­ thing, whereby ,an honest penny, may be turned, he finds himself landed, as it were, at first ebb of the tide. The slightest recession of the waters deposits him on the shore among the the weeds of idleness, unwholesome^ vapors becloud .bis mind. There is searcly a man in business but has an experience like our own, bis young friends continually envying him the privilege of working in a well-defined fi-ld, and wishing that, like him, they bati something to strike at. ' These young men are generally af­ flicted with-.the disease of ambition. They want to be something more’ than common, and mistaking often their desires for ability to safty them, they flatter themselves that -I hey are fi t for something better than the common run of humanity.1 Their, great fault i3 trying to achieveman- hood without serving an appren ticerhip to it, and they find them selves, when they should be prepared for their life-work, wondering what it will be, and fretting because it does not declare itself, and in nine cases out of ten waiting in vain for such a call, they go into politics, agencies, ets. 1 Thegreat remedy for all. this is a jtradefhordugh'ly learned.

Joining in it where -men of meanS, women of ambition to out shine the neighbors, owners of busi­ ness bent .011 making money, em­ ployees who the week before .had demaned a raisein'wage. And they all sang', “I care not for riches neither silver nor gold.” Did they tell the truth in the singing of that song? They did not. Every moth­ er s son and daughter of them-want­ ed more money and then some. Even the preacher in the pulpit who join­ ed with such zest Iri the singing had just a short time before that passed the word out to the officials higher salary was a necessity. Yes, we all love money I'and he who says he cares not for it lies. Dr. WUIiam E- Burton in a recent article, point­ ed out some things that money can’t buy, and they ‘are the best things in life, too. All the money in the world canriqbbuy a breath of fresh air. The poorest among us can en­ joy and'that without price these balmy June days. And yet,., after all the things that, money cannot buy are enumerated the poor devil who.-has them all and nothing else is in a slow way.- Raiment to put on, shelter overhead, food to eat? books on the. table, means of com veyance, these- things money can buy and we need them. - No man ever got to heaven, no, nor has he evir become a better citizen of this old world by singing: “I care not for riches, neither silver nor gold.” Samuel Johnson Said that few men are so harmlessly employed; as when they, are making money. The old bum, loafing in the shade, caring nothing for his personal appearance too lazy to wash his face even when the weather is hot, not worrying a bout where his next meal is coming from and not having the price of a biscuit in his pocket is about the only one who^ean truthfully sing, ' ‘Lord I care not for riches, neither silver nor gold.” A congregation made up of specimens like him would be a sweet-smelling eye-pleas­ ing aggregation. No, for one we do not want to look upon a congre­ gation who can truthfully sing, “Lord, Lcare not for riches, neith- silver nor gold.—Monroe Enquirer. Talked 20 Miaates Hanging.

The writer of the editorial is a contemptible skunk and puppy, and-I am ^lad to say that- my character for truth and honesty finds no abiding place in the atmosphere in which he exists, E. H. MORRIS Ten Reasons For DIy Vote. Bertha Marvin Lee. I shall vote on July 1,9th' for the consolidation of schools in the Mocks­ ville District because: 1.1 am more concerned about boys than bacon, 2. I love culture more than cab­ bage and value citizens more highly than-cash. ... I. - Intelligence is preferable to ignorance.. : 4 Liberty is better than license. 5 Manhood : means more than money. ' 6 Property involves more than money. 7 I prefer righteousness to riches. 8 Souls are superior to.stomachs. 9 Truth outweishs taxes. 10. Wisdom is finer than worldli­ness, Would you rather give your child money or. the power to make money? Would yoyi prefer' giving him a living, or the power to make a life? “Where Ignorance is Bliss Its Folly To Be Wise.” § # r- Enterprise in last week’s issue "charges me ^with ignorance of the law, .or misrepre­ sentation. I ain not surprised or disappointed.1.- I admit mys ignor­ ance in many things, and as. Icng as a certain class of men write' our laws the people will groan under the burdens placed upon them ■ by the parasites who infest every com­ munity, like the plagues of Egypt, we will have them always with us. In criticising acts'of the legislature I ^m in.gpod conipanv/for Chief Justice Walter Clark says the legis­ lature exceeded its authority and violated a plain provision of the Constitution when it exempted bonds and stocks from taxation in order to take taxes off the rich corporations and place it upon the plain people. The point I made a- gainst this new registration was, that it was not necessary in this case, it was in order to eliminate' the opposition to bonds and" special taxes (if not tell us why.), In speci­ al tax and bond elections if your name is on the registration book, and you do not cast your ballot, you are counted against the pro­ position just as much as ,if you voted and to carry an election a majority of the registered voters must' vote for the bonds and taxes or it is de­ feated. The voters who fails ,to register cannot vote and. his vote (actually) counts neither way, but failure to register while not actual­ ly counting one way or the other (it virtually couiits for the bonds and tax.) To illustrate and make it plain, suppose on the old registra­ tion book there are 800 qualified voters, it would take 401 votes to carry the election, but suppose of these 800 qualified voters only 500 registered, it vfould take 251 votes to carry the election. Now if the 300 who fail to register ^ere against it, their failure to register is equiva^ lent to voting for the bonds and tax. Can my critics see the point? I am everlastingly against increas­ ing the people taxes at this parti cular time, do you catch that? Gov. Aycock went all - over the State as did other Democratic speakers in the campaign for the adoption of the Constitutional A- mendment and told the people that when registered under its provisions the people would never have to re­ gister again. Our election laws should be written so as to make it easy for all qualified voters to vote, and all unnecessary restrictions and requirements should be avoided. If my critic will read Section 5526 he will-see in my opinion that nothing in the law reqires a new registation at this time in Mocksville township. Section 5527 applies where-parts of other precincts and townships are included in the tax districts/ and if he will read chapter 102 of the laws of 1917 it may help him elucidate the matter.. I plead guilty to being ignorant of many things, hope-1 may be able to live long enough to realize that wisdom .Wiil not perish when I'depart. from hence'. :This is a self evident proposition; any­ thing that adds to the cost of doing a businefis'of any kind, automati­ cally increases the cost of living, The renters of homes in Mocksville if this election carries will find out when their rents are . raised who pays the tax. Taxes are. a part; of living, and every time you increase the taxes you add to the- cost of living, it and all other of. these ex­ penses hits the poor irian and his family the hardest. The point have tried to make, and which is plain to most people, there was no necessity to saddle this unnecessary expense, .and, the forcing of the country people to quit ' their work and drag their wives and daughters to Mocksville at this busy, season to register, [ cannot help but; believe that it was done in order to elimi­ nate the opposition*, to me it is in­ defensible and an outrage. . Its no small matter for all the voters in Mocksville township .to Idse-the time from their work to come toI ' this town to register., Register and go to the polls and .vote your honest sentiments on the 19th, leav­ ing out all selfishness, and'keeping in view always, the.principle.of the golden rule, don’t vote just because you think you are saddling the tax on the.other fellow; you have no right to place burden.s on your A Visit to Mocksville. On the 26th of June, forty or more of the R ow an people made a kind of missionary trip to Mocks­ ville. The object of this visit was to see Mrs. Ella and Miss Cora Austin; to chat them, to comfort them and to straw some flowers a- 1 oiig the rugged path'way of life. We were glad to find them looking well and enjoying reasonable health. A bountiful table was spread in the yard, and Mrs. Austin was seated nearly. After a short service and blessing asked, all partook of the tokens of God's love in pleasant and social conversation. These pleasures were continued while the crowd remained, but were cut one had said "that you may work upon wood, but it will rot, you may work upon stone but it will crumble away, you may work upon brass but it will canker, but he that works up­ on the minds of boys and girls his work will abide.” Let me say I have no quarrel with any one, neither have I any interest in this save the boys and the girls. little short by.. approaching, rains. However, before leaving, some rations were stored away in their pantry, and a few bucks were given them -for their comfort and general needs after tlie visitors had return­ ed. We believe that such acts of Christians are in harmony with the teaching of our Divine Lord and Master, and we beleive that all churches .should care for their poor, needy and offlicted members,- and we hope some Christians and divines will look after the spiritual and temperal needs of these offlicted women in the absent of their friends from Rowan. While there we just heard of the death of Mrs. J. J. Starratts1 who, we understood, has been dead for a month or more. She was a patient sufferer for a long time and a dear friend of ours. Our sympthp goes out to Bro. Starratte and her many friends. Also, a good brother told us he did not remember of ever hearing a Lutheran minister preach'. We are sorry there is no Lutheran church in Mocksville; but pleased to say that nearly all of these forty or more visitors were, Lutherans. Our good friend saw some of their work if he never heard any of them preach. This work was done as., a matter of pleasure, has been done, before, and may be repeated. X. X.

Offlice in Anderson BBilding, ' MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Let us print your stationerv ‘Come and Let us Reason Togeth­ er.” The consolidation of schools of this township is perhaps the greatest is­ sue that has ever been placed before the people in all the past. 'No man can realy grasp its greatness, for it is related to all the men and women of this township, but if "it only touched the men and women we could throw it aside and go on our way in peace, but it directly affects the children that arp here today and that will be here in the years to come. My good friend Mr. Morris, must have seen a black horse and bis rider stalking in our midst. He tells us about the great increase of taxes. In other words I want to ask you to think about that, that you love more than land or money, your boys and stirls. It .may be true that it will in­ crease our taxes some, but I feel that it will not be a burden .to any.. I want us to look at a few cold facts that are worth while. We have a- bout two million dollars worth of property in this township about 80 per cent of is in the town of Mocks­ ville leaving twenty per cent of it in the country.

It’s the most perfect packing science can devise to pro­ tect cigarettes and keep them fresh. Heavy paper —secure foil wrapping-—revenue stamp to seal the fold and make the package air-tight. But there’s nothing flashy about it. You’ll find no extra wrappers. No frills or furbelows. Such things do not improve the smoke any more than premiums or coupons.

It came eteaiD CaLvh^r uthe callinS' and Stot the big cupboard and traveled up. It reached the top, ,and rested there, fixed and steady. Framed In the middle ,of it, peering over the edge, was a little .hairless, brown face, holding what looked Uke a tube in its mouth. Hugh Iiad one glimpse of a dark, skinny hand putting something In the tube, and then he switched off the torch and ducked, just as 'another fly pinged over his. head and hit the wall behind. One thing, at any rate, was certain: the other occupant of the room. was human, and with that realization' aU his nerve returned. There would be time enough later on to find out how he got there, and what those strange pinging noises had been caused by. Just at that moment only one thing was on the program; and without a sound: he crept round the .bed toward the cupboard, to put that one thing in­ to effect in his usual direct manner. Twice did he hear the little whis­ tling hiss from above, but nothing sang past his head. Evidently the man had lost him, and was probably still aim­ ing at the door. And then, with hands that barely‘touched it, he felt the out­ lines of the cupboard. It was standing an inch or two from the wall, and he slipped his fingers be­ hind the back on one side.- He lis­ tened for a moment, but no movement came from above; then, half facing the wall, he put one leg against -IL There was one quick, tremendous-heave: a crash which sounded deafening: 'then silence. And once again he switched on his torch. . . . Lying on the floor by the window was one of the smallest men he had ever seen. He was a native of Sorts, and Hugh turned him over with his' foot He was quite unconscious, and the bump on his head, where it had hit the floor, was rapidly swelling to the size of a large orange. - In his hand- he still clutched the little tube, and Hugh gingerly removed iL Placed, in position at one? end was a long splinter of wood,' with a sharpened point: and by the light of his torch Hugh saw that it was faintly dis­ colored with some brown stain. He was StUl examining it with in­ terest, when a thunderous knock came w I “If It's All the Same to You, I Wish You’d Remove Him.” on the door. He strolled over and switched on the electric light; then he opened the door. An excited night-porter rushed In, followed by two or three other people in varying stages of undress, and stopped in amazement at the scene. The heavy cupboard, with a great crack across the back, lay face down­ ward on the floor; the native still lay curled up and motionless. “One of the hotel pets?” queried Hugh pleasantly, lighting a cigarette. “If It’s all the same to you, I wish you’d remove him. , He was—ah—find­ ing it uncomfortable on the top of the cupboard.” ■ It appeared that the night-porter could speak English; it also appeared that the lady occupying the room be­ low, had rushed forth demanding to be led to the basement, under the. mis­ apprehension tliat war had again been declared and the Germans were bomb­ ing Paris. And then, to crown every­ thing, while the uproar was 4at its- height the' native on the floor, open­ ing. one beady and somewhat dazed eye, realized that , things looked un­ healthy. Unnoticed, he lay “doggo” for a while; then,.like a rabbit which has almost been trodden on, he dodged between the legs of the men in the room, and vanished through the open door. Taken by surprise, for a mo­ ment no one moved? then, simultane­ ously, they dashed Into the passage. It was empty, and Hugh, glancing-up, saw the American detective advancing toward them along the' corridor. “What’s the trouble, captain?” he asked as he'joined the, group. , . , “A friend of the management elected to spend the night on the top of my cupboard, Mr. Green,” answered Drum­ mond, “and got cramp half-way through.” The American, gazed at the wreck­ age in silence. Then he looked at Hugh, and what he saw on that worthy’s face apparently decided him to maintain that policy. In fact, it was not till the night-porter and his attendant minions had at last, and very dubiously, withdrawn, that he again opened ids mouth. “Looks like a hectic night,” he mur­ mured. “What happened?” , Briefly Hugh told him what had occurred and the detective whistled softly. “Blowpipe and poisoned dartk,” he said shortly, returning the tube to Drummond. “Narrow escape — d—d narrow! Look at your pillow.” Hugh looked: embedded in the linen were four pointed splinters similar to the one he .held in his hand; by . the door were three ■ more, lying on the floor. “An engaging little bird,” he laughed; “but nasty to look a t” He extracted the little pieces of wood and carefully placed them in an empty match-box: the tube he put in­ to his cigarette-case. “Might come In handy: you never know,” he remarked casually. “They might if you stand quite still,” said the American, with a sudden, sharp command In his voice. “Don’t move.” - Hugh stood motionless, staring at the speaker, who with eyes fixed on his right forearm, had stepped for­ ward. From the loose sleeve of his pajama coat the detective gently pulled anpther dart and dropped it into the match-box. “Nof far off getting you that time, captain,” he cried cheerfully., “Now you’ve got the whole blamed outfit.” .' THREE It was the Comte de Guy who boarded the boat express at the Gare ‘du Nord the next day; it was Carl Peterson wno stepped oft the boat ex­ press at Boulogne. And it was only Drummond’s positive assurance which convinced the American that the two characters were the same man. He was leaning over the side of the boat reading a telegram when he first saw Hugh ten minutes after the boat had left the harbor; and if he - had hoped for a different result to the in­ cident of the night before, no sign of it showed l-on his face. Instead he waved a cheerful greeting to Drum­ mond. “This is a pleasant surprise,” he re­ marked affably. “Have you been to Paris, ,too?” For a moment Drummond looked at him narrowly. Was it a stupid bluff, or was the man so sure of his power of disguise that he assumed with ! cer­ tainty he had not been recognized? And it suddenly struck Hugh that,, save for that one tell-tale habit—a habit which, .in all probability, Peter­ son himself was unconscious of—he would not have recognized him. “Yes,” he answered lightly. “I came over to see how you behaved your­ self I” . “What a pity I didn’t know!” said Peterson, with a good-humored chuckle. He seemed in excellent spirits, as he carefully tore the telegram into tiny pieces and dropped them overboard. “We might have had .another, of our homely little chats-over some supper. Where did you stay?” “At the Ritz. And you?” “I always stop’ at the Bristol,” an­ swered Peterson. “Quieter than the Ritz, I -think.” FOUR ' “Walk right in. Mr. Green,” said Hugh, as, three hours later, they got out of a taxi in Half -Moon street. “This is my little rabbit-hutch.” He followed the American up the stairs,, and produced his latchkey. But before he could even .insert it in the hole the door was flung open, and Peter Darrell stood facing him with evident relief in his face. “Thank the Lord you’ve come, old son,” he cried, with a brief look at the detective. “There’s something do­ ing ’down a t'Godalming I plon’t like,” He. followed Hugh’ into the sitting room. “At twelve o’clock today Toby rang up. He was talking quite ordinarily- you knOw the sort of rot he usually gets off his chest-xjwhen suddenly he stopped quite short and said, ‘My God! What do you want?’. I -could tell he’d looked up,, because his voice was muf­ fled.' Then there was the: sound of a scuffle, I heard Toby curse, then noth­ ing more. I rang and rang and rang— no answer.”. “What did you do?”. Drummond, with a letter in his hand which he had taken off the mantelpiece, was lis­ tening grimly. . “Algy V as here. He motored straight off to see-if he could find Out what was- wrong. I, stopped here to tell you.” . . “Anything through from-him?”- “Not a word. There’s,foul play, or r il: eat my hat.” ■ -But Hugh did not answer., Wlth a Iook on his face- which even Peter had never seen before, he--was reading the O - letter. It was. short and to the point, but he read it three times before he spoke. “When did this come?” he asked. “An hour ago,” answered the other. “I very nearly opened it ” ‘Read iL” said Hugh. He handed it to Peter and -jvent to the door. “Denny,” he shouted, “I want my car round at once.” Then he came back into the room. “If they've hurt one hair of her head,” he said, his voice full of a smoldering fury, “I'll murder that gang one by one with my bare hands.” “Say, captain, may I see this let­ ter?” said the American; and Hugh nodded. “■‘For pity’s sake, come at once,” ’ read the detective aloud. “ ‘The bearer of thi3 is trustworthy.’ ” He thought­ fully picked his teeth. “Girl's writ­ ing. Do you know her?” “My fiancee,” said Hugh shortly. “Certain?” snapped the-American. "Certain I” cried Hugh. “Of course I am. I know every eiirl of every let­ ter.” ‘There is such a thing as forgery,” remarked the detective dispassionately: ‘D—n it, man,” exploded Hugh; “do you imagine I don’t know my own girl's writing?” 'A good many bank cashiers have, mistaken their customers’ writing be­ fore now,” said the .other, unmoved. “I don’t like It, captain. A girl in real trouble wouldn’t 1 put in that bit about the bearer.” "You go to h—I,” remarked Hugh briefly. ‘Tm going to Godalming." ‘Well,” drawled the American, !‘not knowing Godalming, I don’t know who scores. BuL if you go there—I come too.” ‘And me,” : said Peter, brighten­ ing up. ‘Not you, old son. If Mr. Green will come, PU be delighted; but I want you here at headquarters.” *' He turned round as his servant put his head In' at the door. “Car here,' sir. Do you want a bag packed?" llNo—only my revolver. Are you ready, Mr. Green?” ‘Sure thing,” said the American. “I always am.” “Then we'll move.” And Peter, watching the car resignedly from the window, saw the American grip his seat with both hands, and then raise them suddenly in Silent prayer, while an elderly lady fled with a scream fo the safety of the area below. They did the trip in well under the hour, and the detective got out of the car with a faint sigh of relief. Drummond dodged rapidly through the bushes on his way to The Larches: and when the American finally over­ took him, be was standing by a side door knocking hard on the panels. “Seems kind of empty,” said the de­ tective thoughtfully, as the minutes went by and no one came. “Why not. try thS,,front door?” “Because it’s In sight of the other house,” said Hugh briefly. “I’m going to break in.” He retreated a yard from the door, then, bracing his shoulder, he charged it once. And the door, as a door, war not. . . , Rapidly Llie two men wen from room to room—bedrooms, sei,T . ants’ quarters, even the bathroom Everyone was empty: not a soum could be heard in the house. Finally only the dining room remained, ani as they stood by the. door lookin; round, the American shifted his chew .Ing gum to a new point of vantage. “Somebody has been rough-housin; by'the look of things,” he remark"'’ judicially. “Looks like a boozing den after a thick night” “It does,” remarked Hugh grimly, taking in the disorder -of the room The tablecloth was piulled off, thi telephone lay on the floor.- China and glass, smashed to pieces, littered the carpet; but what caught his eye, and caused him suddenly to step forward and pick it up, was a-plain circle of glass with a black cord attached to it through a small hole. “Algy Longworth’s eyeglass,” he muttered. “So he’s been caught too.” And it was at that moment .that, clear and distinct through the still evening air, they heard a woman’s agonized scream. It came from the house next door, and then Drummond darted forward. “Stop, you young fool,” the Ameri­ can shouted, but he was too late. He watched Drummond, running like a stag, cross the lawn and dis­ appear in the trees. For a second he hesitated; then,- with a shrug of square shoulders, he rapidly left the house by the way they had entered. And a few' minutes'-later, Drummond’s car was skimming back toward London, with a grim-faced man at the wheel. And the owner of the car-was lying In blissful unconsciousness in the hall of The Elms, surrounded by a. half a dozen men. an he loves if she wants him. As he had dashed across the lawn to The Elms, with the American's warning cry echoing In his.ears,-he had been incapable’of serious thought. Subcon­ sciously he had known that, from ev­ ery point of view, it was the act. of a madman, that he was deliberately put­ ting his head into what, In all prob­ ability' was- a carefully- prepared noose; that, from every point of view, he could help Phyllis better by re­ maining. a free, agent outside. But when'a girl shrieks, and the'man who loves her hears it arguments begin to look tired. And what little caution might have remained to Hugh com­ pletely vanished as he saw the girl watching him with agonized terror in her face, from an. upstair window, as, he dashed up to the house. It was only for a brief second that he saw her; then she disappeared suddenly, as if snatched away by some invisible person. “I'm coming, darling." He had given one wild shout and hurled himself through the door which led into the house from the garden. A dazzling light of intense brilliance had shone in his face, momentarily blinding him; then had .come a crushing blow on the back of his head. One groping, wild step forward, and Hugh Drummond, dimly conscious of men all round him, had pitched forward on his face into utter oblivion. I “It’s too easy.” Lakington’s sneer­ ing voice broke the silence, as lie looked vindictively at the unconscious man. “So you have thought before, Henry,” chuckled, Pete-SQn. “And he ■ always bobs up somehow. If you take I my advice you’ll finish him off here I and now, and run no further risks.” j “Kill him while he’s unconscious?" ; Lakington laughed evilly. “No, Carl, i n o t. under any circumstances what- I ever. He has quite a lengthy score I to pay, and by God! he’s going to pay it this time.” He stepped forward and kicked Drummond twice in the ribs with a cold, animal fury. . “Well, don't kick him when he’s down, guv’nor. .You’ll 'ave plenty o’ time after.” A hoarse voice from the. circle of men made Lakington look up. “You cut it out Jem Smith,” he snarled, “or I might find plenty of time after for others beside this young swine.” The ex-pugilist muttered un­ easily under his breath,- but said no more, and It was Peterson who broke the silence. “ What are you going to -do with him?” “Lash him up like the other two,” returned Lnkington, “and leave him I-to cool until I get back tomorrow. { But I’ll bring him round before I go, ; and just talk to him for a little. I I wouldn't tike him not to know what j was going to happen to him. Antic- I ipation is always delightful.” He I turned to two of the men standing near. “Carry him into my room,” he ,irdered, “and another of yo,u get the ope,” ■ * And so it was that Algy Longworth and Toby Sinclair, with black rage I and fury in their hearts, watched the limp,form of their leader being car- i ried into the central room. Swathed I in -rope, they sat motionless and im­ potent, in their respective chairs, while they watched the same process being performed on Drummond. He was no amateur at the game, was the rope-winder, and by the time he had finished, Hugh resembled nothing so much as a lifeless brown mummy. Only his head was free, and that lolled forward helplessly. LabIngton watched the performance for a tim e;.then, wearying of it he strolled over to Algy’s. chair. “Well, you puppy,” he remarked, ‘are you going to try shouting again?” Ie picked up the. rhinoceros-hide rid- ug-whip lying on the floor, and ■ent- it between his hands. “That -;a!e on your face greatly improves our beauty, and next time you’ll get wo, and a gag as well.” “How’s the jaw, you horrible bit of reg?” remarked Algy insultingly, and oby laughed. “Don’t shake his nerve, Algy,” he -npiored. “For the first time in his ilthy life, he feels safe in the same .-com as Hugh.” The taunt seemed to madden Lak- ington, who sprang across the room ' nd lashed Sinclair over the face. But :ven after the sixth cut no sound came vom the helpless man, though the ilood was streaming down inside his collar. His eyes, calm and sneering, met those of the raving man in front of him without a quiver, and, at - last Peterson himself intervened. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The estimate is made that the umonnt of solar energy stored In plants each year is 22 times the amount-of energy represented by the coal consumed in the same period. About 67 per cent of this plant energy is taken up by the forests; 24 per cent by cultivated plants; 7 per cent by grass of the steppes and prairies, and 2 per cent by the plants of desert lands. The energy received by forests alone'is 14 times the energy of the coal used. But unfortunately the for­ ests that receive this energy are main­ ly In the • tropics. In temperate re­ gional- we are depleting the forests just as we are exhausting the coal supply; further justifying the proph­ ecy that centers of manufacture, and therefore presumably Of civilization itself, will ultimately Shift back to­ ward the equator.—Dr. Henry.

The board’s report shows that ths eight hundred and seventeen banks had on deposit this week the huge sum af $2,942,901,000 in savings.

GATHER WHEHIH B ILK STAGE Any of Sweet Varieties Having Qual­ itie s Desirhble for Table Use Will Make Good Product—Sun Is Factor In Drying. (Prepared by the United. States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) - A vegetable which, ■ when dried, is above criticism even by the most crit­ ical, is corn. Other kinds of garden products may or may not be liked by many people, but dried corn is- the equal if not the superior of canned corn and can be used for practically as wide a variety of purposes. The following directions for drying it are those advised by the United States De­ partment of Agriculture. . Any of the varieties of sweet corn having qualities desirable for table use will make a good dried product. Corn in. ended for drying should be gath­ ered when in the milk stage, before Rising and hardening have, begun and when the corn is in an ideal condition fdr immediate table use. It should be gathered only as it can be prepared for drying, as ,com deteriorates rap­ idly. - ' ■' ' Careful Preparation Essential. Husk the ears and trim w ith, a knife to .remove any injuries. The silk need not be removed, as ' it ' can be readily separated from .the corn after drying. Place the ears in wire baskets or wire-bottom boxes and plunge into boiling water for eight to twelve minutes, or until the milk is set. A litde salt may be added to the water if desired. Divide the corn into older and younger lots before blanch­ ing, as the younger ears require some­ what longer cooking than the older ones. After cooking, remove corn from the water, allow it to drain and cool suf­ ficiently to be handled and cut from the cobs with a strong, sharp knife, taking care that none of the cob is removed witk the kernels. The glumes, or the hull attachments at the tip of the grains are easily screened out af­ ter the com becomes dry. Spread the kernels upon trays to a depth of I inch If drying is done in a drier, or %' to 56- Inch if .the com is to be dried in the sun. Stir.the grains thoroughly sev­ eral times during the drying to break up any compact masses. Sun Factor in Dryipg Corn. It i‘s practically impossible to bring com to a sufficient degree of dryness by the unaided heat of the sun. If com is dried in the sun It should be finished by pouring into bread pans, placing in the oven of the stove, and warming to 160 to. ItRj degrees Fahren­ heit for two hours. Whether the dry­ ing is done In the sun, in a cook-stove drier, or In a commercial drier, it should be continued until, the grains^ are hard, semitransparent, and will break with clean, glass-like fractures if crushed. Before storing free the com of silks, glumes, and bits of cob. This may be done by pouring the corn from 'one \e-«el to ano her .in a strong draft. Specialists of Department of Agricul­ ture Favor Applications of Solu­ tions Cf CpokingiSoda or of Epsom Salts. (Prepared by the United -Statea Depart- . . ment of Agriculture.) In the early stages -of ivy poisoning remedies having a fatty or oily base, such as ointments, should not be used, as the grease or oil tends to dissolve and spread the poison, according to specialists of the United States De­ partment of Agriculture. Instead they advise simple remedies such as local applications of. solutions of cooking soda or -of Epsom salt, one or two heaping teaspoohfuls- to a- cupful of PA SK E R 5S h a i r b a l s / CpftNS CHARLOTTE, NO 28-19? One Very Satisfactory Way. of Drying - Fruits and-Vegetables at Home. When tlie corn is dry, store in closely woven muslin bags or. -heavy paper bags. Tie tightly at the ' neck and place within a larger bag, ybich also should be tightly tied. Do not allow the drying process to stop from the time It is started until the com is fairly dry. Com is a prod­ uct which contains considerable sugar and protein, and if the drying process Is allowed to stop bacteria are apt to develop and souring take place. Pro­ tect it from insec's. If sun drying is Interrupted by cloudy weather or showers, remove com to the stove and continue drying o r»the product may spoil. GOOD CARD-TABLE COVERS Thin Patent Leather With Smooth Sur­ face Is Slippery and.. Smooth, a \ Decided Advantage. There are card-table covers made of thin patent leather, bound with heavy corded silk at the edges, with ribbons to tie them securely In place.. Thfise are - admirable, for their highly jTar- nished - surface makes them-, slippery and smooth, an- advantage always in a card-table cover. Leaf of Poison Ivy. water. Fluid extract of grindelln, di­ luted with four to eight parts of w'ater, is often used. Solutions of this kind may be ap­ plied with -light bandages or clean cloths, which should be kept moist, and should be changed and discarded fre­ quently to avoid infection. During the night, or when moist applications cannot be used, the poisoned surfaces should be carefully cieaned and dried and left exposed, to the air rather than' tightly bandaged. In the later stage, after the. toxic material has exhausted itself,, sdnc-oxld ointment and similar mild antiseptic and astringent appli­ cations hasten' healing. These are a few of the helpful hints concerning ivy poisoning contained in Farmers'. Bulletin 1166, which tells also how to distinguish between poison ivy and poison sumac. The bulletin is il­ lustrated with pictures of the two plants, which are often confused. TO SWEETEN RANCID BUTTER Melt and Skim It and Add Piece of Toast Free From Burn—Offen- , sive -Taste. Removed.

The warm weather breakfast will •is lighter, of less food ' value, . but sufficiently . sus­ taining to keep machinery work­ ing. Unless a person is working at hard labor a breakfast of fruit, a dish of cereal, an egg with toast or a bit of bacon u-itli a cupful of coffee or cocoa or a glass of milk-is a satisfying meal. The cereal may be one that has been previously cooked and to serve It put it through a ricer, with cream and sugar.. In a morning, wheu the weather permits serve this best of waffles: Waffias1-T ak e one and one-quarter cupful of sifted flour, one half tea­ spoonful each of soda and salt, one cupful of thick sour, milk, the yolks of two eggs and the whites beaten stiff. Sift the dry ingredients, add the egg yolk with the. milk and stir in after the mixture has been well beaten three tablespnonfuls of melted butter.

Simmer 20 minutes and serve with hot sea­ soned rice. Every occupation lifts Itself with the - enlarging Iffe .of him who practices it. The occupation that will not do that no man really has a right .to occupy himself about LEFTOVERS, AND OTHER THINGS. A most tasty salad may be-prepared from a cupful or two of mashed po­ tato, using a little of the heart of head lettuce to mix with it, 'a little chopped onion- and cu­ cumber with a - salad dressing. Let 'stand an hour or two. to season, and serve In the curled leaf of head lettuce. - Liver Croquettes.—To a pound of chopped liver, parboiled and then chopped, add one. small onion m incedsalt and pepper To sea son.

The absolute refusal to speak French, even by persons well acquaint­ ed with the language, is one of the most common ways in which the Ger- ■ mans show their dislike of the French I military men. The correspondent walked into a cigar store the other day while a I rench officer was attempting to make the woman in charge understand the brand of cigarettes he wanted.

Africa to explore the city of Ku­ fra. headquarters of the Senussi tribe, a fanatic and hostile group whose mil­ itary adventures recently have caused anxiety In Egypt. Traveled Alone. Mrs. Forbes, wearing the native costume, was alone m her daring ad­ venture. She joined a native caravan and, riding a camel, -finally crossed the Egyptian frontiers and reached the sacred oasis city where only one Eu­ ropean—an explorer of 40 years ago— has ever been before. Here she was well received by the tribesmen and given a safeguard back to civilization, but throughout the -journey she was suiTOunded by hostile natives who would have killed her had they known that she was a white woman. The start of the trip was made from Benghazi, the Alediterranean end of the ancient caravan route from the central Sudan across the Libyan desert. She had previously arranged for a form of passport from the Senus- sl, but this was of little valne, as- the tribes through which she passed did not recognize their sovereignty. Spies surrounded the caravan and at the sncred city of TaJ the entire party was placed under arrest and thrown into a native prison. After great dif­ ficulty they were released and allowed to proceed. Welcomed 'by Chiefs. At the-osases of Kufra the chiefs welcomed Afrs. Forbes and told her of their plans for political power.

Indio, Cal., may become the center of the world’s date culture, thanks to the efforts of the: Depart­ ment of Agriculture. For nearly twenty years the bureau of plant industry lias been endeavoring to procure shoots of the date palms which bear the fruit, known commercially as the Saidy, or Wahi, and SewI varieties. So difficult was the source of the splendid fruit to trace that, up to 1913, only a few shoots had been procurable. At that time an immense grove of 200,000 of the palms in the oasis of Dakhla, Tunis, was. discovered. Negotiations for the purchase of specimens having been satisfactorily 'Concluded, the collection of the shoots was begun. That it was slow is ac­ counted for by the fact that a tree puts forth-only twenty to thirty shoots dur­ ing its lifetime. However, the collec­ tion was finally completed and the work of setting out 2,800 of the young trees will be started within the near future.—Popular Alechanics Alagazme. Dire Threat.

Mr. Edsel B Ford, President of the Ford Motor Com­ pany, gives out the following statement: “Another reduction has been made in the list price of all types of'Ford cars and the Ford truck to take effect im­ mediately. The list prices, f. o. b. Detroit, are now as follows: ,' Touring Car . $415.00 Runabout 370.00 Coupe 695.00 Sedan 760.00 Chassis . 345.00 Trucfe-Chassis 495.00 T ractor 625.00 “The big reductions last fall were made in anticipation of low material costs which we are now getting the beuefit of, aud this fact together with increased manufacturing ef­ ficiency and the unprecedented demand for Ford cars, par­ ticularly during the past three months permitting maximum production, have made another price reduction-possible im­ mediately. ' “Ford business for April and May 1921 was greater by' 56,633'cars and trucks than for the same two months in 1920; in fact, the demand has been even greater than the supply, so that our output has been limited, not by unfilled orders, but by manufacturing facilities. - During May we produced 101,424 Ford cars and trucks for sale in the United States alone—the biggest month in the history of our company—and our factories and' assembly plants are now working on a 4000 car daily schedule for June. , ,“The Fordson tractor is still being sold at less than the cost to produce on account of the recent big price reductions, and it'is impossible, .therefore, to make any further cut- in the price of the tractor.”. Can you afford to'go without a car any longer when Fords are selling at these uew low prices? There is no rea­ son now why you should delay purchasing a Ford car, Ford truck, or Fordson tractor.

' & • J f e * $■ <««■ ' Decency To T he Fore. American decency may be slow to act, but if moves swiftly when it does make a start. A case in kind is before us'. The mayor of one of our great cities was elected by the better ele­ ment of the voting population. Much was expected for him. But like many another he fell a- mong the Phillistines, and for the sake of future power he forsook the friends who elevated him, combined with another element, and plifged the city into depth’s of political trickery and profligate extravagance. The gang soon acquired full away and swept the mayor into office again and to a more reckless squandering of the people’s money. Then decency revolted', combined with the opposite party in a fifty-fifty arrangement, and buried him under the ruins of the most smashing de­ feat that has been recorded at an election in.recent years. The lesson is simple, but illuminat­ ing and valuable to all-lovers of righteousness in municipal affairs. Political parties and their leaders should be taught that they must no minate men who have been tried and are known to be true if they would win at an-election. The welfare of a municipality is greater ihan that of any party with­ in its borpers, The prosperity of all the people is to be desired than that of a macoine composed of politicians and t'hcir henchmen: The survival of decency is neces- say to prevent a reign of debauchery. When officials forget their duty to the people it is time for the people to remember the duty they owe themselves. An- equitable combination that promises beneficial results is prefer­ red to a hidebound adherence to party that offers only profligacy, de­ bauchery and distress. A way has a t last, been found to kill the beast, r Its hide will be tanned from time to time in other communities—Ex: ' Feeding the Horse. A prominent farmer of the coun­ ty recently estimated that it costs as much under present. conditions to feed a horse as it does to feed an ordinary family, and he bad the figures to back up his opinion. With the situation confronting the farm­ ers of the county, and with the market prospect for the crop now being planted and culcivated, it means bankruptcy for the' farmers who do not raise their food and feedstufis at home.. It is believed that more corn and other feedstufis are being planted in Anson this year that ever before.—Exchange. The W orstIs O vei-B ut the Farm er H as Borue the W orst. It isall true enough, at Mr. Hoover de.'lared. that “we have weathered the danger point of a greater crisis; our financial system has proved its strength and for the first time we have passed safely -through a .com. modity crisis without monetary panic.” But it is also true as he went on to say. ■ / ‘ Part of the bitterness of the situ­ ation arise from tfie inequalities in the progress of these readjustments in different walks of life and'in differ­ ent branches of industry. There is slow.and only !partial realization by some bankers, directors of public utilities, manufacturers, and distri­butors, both employers and. emplo­ yees included, of the fact that we must approach a parity, of level in profits, prices, and wagea in different industries.” In other words, sooner or later either prices of farm products must increase or prices of other products must decline. The adjustment must come, but meanwhile the lack of a decent marketing system has cost farmers billions of dollars they can never recover. • But the Germans reputation mat­ ter has now been settled, the Band of England and our American Federal Reserve Bank lowing their interest rates, and there are gor-d prosper1 s at last of a reduction in the present ruinously high freight rates. For these three reasons business is ir.o hopeful than it has bean for month The .CrisiSAMfefliMjd^bi9,, dangerous third week'ahd steM d't^ft.get well with proper attention. But even with new confidence and time is still requiredbefore recovery can be ef fected.—Progressive Farmer. A suspicious man is suspicious of himself. ' Some men seem the losing side.

Schools in Iow a D oes Not Give Satisfaction-I-R ead Be* fore You Vote. In the great state of Iowa, the counties, the townships, the school districts are laid out. in perfect squares, as perfect as.the surveyors instrument can make them. AU this is practical because the land is almost perfectly level. The dis­ trict school is located in the center of the district. The high school is always located in the center of ■ the township. Every part of the coun­ t r y has modern good roads abso­ lutely dependable for every day in the year. If there is a place in this wide world where consolida­ tion is feasible and desirable, it ought to be in Iowa. If consolida­ tion in Iowa, where it has been tried, won’t do,, how can we expect it to do here in Davie county where we have hills and hollows, swollen streams, bad roads almost' impass-. able for two or three months in the year, at the very time when the children of farmers have the leis­ ure to go to school. We herewith publish an article from the July, 1921, number of Capper’s Farmet; ; written by an intelligent woman who has had experience in Iowa consolidation. "Let the people of Davie county read this article and ponder over it, learn wisdom from it. then act accordingly on the day of election: “An article in Capper’s Farmer of April prompts iiie to write this. Thearticlereferred to was written by Florence li. Clark and, con.qern.-3 Iowa consolidated schools: Figures wou’t lie, but they may be tnani-- pulated to be very misleading. It seems that Superintendent Hodges of Butler county sent to the superintendents of 56 consoli­ dated schools, poStcords “with the request that they supply .every school patron with one.”- Now in CDiisolidated districts there would probably be 10,000 patrons. v Mr. Hodges received 1,412 an­ swer, or a little more than 14 ' per cent. Ninety per cent of this 14 per cent gave answers favorable to consolidation. Approximately 86 per cent did not respond. We have been consolidated for four years and are sitting, on a red hot stove, but we can’t Arise. We have a big elephant and no feed. Our school levy has increased from 14 to 53 mills, and we are going behind e%'ery year. My school tax for 1920 on 80 acres of land 1 co­ dollar land was $45.52. Miss Clark said, “A good many left a blank after the question, ‘How Has consolidation affected land values,’ but 670 out of 10,006' said it had raised values.” The facts are that it is harder to sell lanes in a consolidated district than outside, In 19.19.there were about 14 farms changed hands in one. of our three consolidated districts in Davis and Van Buren counties, and- consolidation enthusiasts pointed to this as a great indorsement- of consolidation. But while they were singing the prizes of the 14 men- who bought farms in their district they never mentioned that 14 men who had had the experience.'had sold out and left; the district. > Most °f us in our district have- come to regard our school as a huge arid expensive joke. ' - None of us-cares to go. back to exactly the old .way because we all want good school f6r pur children but in my opinion, the better way would be to maintain the. eighth grade rural schools and have a township high school, .centrally located, and when a pupil has pas­ sed the eighth grade he is; old ei}-. °ugh to transport himseli :to' the center of the township if he wishes w attend high school.' -■ Van Buren Co., Iowa. . ' .C. E. Usley. u - And here is another article from Iowa: * . : I -have been . wondering if the readers of Capper’s Farmer would like to hear the truth about conso­ lidated schools as a.n Iowa' farmer sees it. There are several • jokers in Iowa’s consolidation laws. 'One is, that when a proposed district •includes a village, town or city, the school must be within the cor- poratians limits. Many villages are at the edge of the districts. ’ The makes some of the youngsters travel 7 or S miles to schools. Another is that at all times the board sball lay out the routes of the school wagons or busses and my requires at any distance not to excesd 2 miles. A third provision is that when the provision district contains a village with a population of less than 200 they vote with the farmers. There arethreecases in Southern Iowa where small villages voted this on the farmers and the farmers feel as if there were the victims of a fraud. I am sure the writer of your ar­ ticle captioned. “What 1,412 Iowa EanneasSays about Consolidation Schools,” had no intention, of mis­ representing. Nevertheless, Iques1. tion her stateruents in this way. Shell Rock and Shell Rock Station •2 miles apart, have a population of 1,600, Eatlian has a population of 803. If E. B. Hodges sent a card to every school patron, it is safe to say that :more. than half of the re piles were not from farmers.

HeIpuscelebrate The Record’s birthday by sending us your renew­ al or subscription. The price is only one dollar per year, and worth twice that-amount. Lincoln county produced 15 bushels of wheat to the acre, this year, according to a press report. That beats Davie. If we can aver­ age seven bushels to the acre this year it will surprise us. . Prospects for agood cotton and tobacco crop in Davie county are not bright at this time. If prices are good this fall our farmers may get out all right, but ten cent cotton and five cent tobacco means trouble and lots of it. We will hope for the best but prepare for the worst. The Record doesn’t mind being criticised by its friends and sub­ scribers but it gets our goat for a fellow’ who is actually too narrow- .minded to take our paper to go out and borrow a copy every week and criticise our articles. Does this hit you,. brother? j The consolidated school election will be held next Tuesday. The ■registration books closed Saturday. ■ Many of the best people in the town and country are opposed to consolidation- at. this time. No one knows how the election will go, but -indications point to its defeat- at this time. Many people in the town­ ship failed to register. We noticed- in the Charlotte Ob­ server oT Thursday that Editor Honeycutt, of the Albemarle News Herald has purchased the Mocks- viile Enterprise, and is negotiating for the Cooleemee Journal.- If this sale is made the two papers will be consolidated and will be run as a strictly Democratic paper.- The Re­ cord gladly welcomes Editor Honey­ cutt to the best county in the best State in the United States.:.- OUR BIRTHDAY. .j The Record is twenty-two years . old. Foi1'fourteen years the pres­ ent Editor has been doing, all he could to : build up the town and -county and to make the paper bet ter with each passing year. How well we have succeeded - is- left .to our readers to decide. The Record was founded in 1899 by" Mr. E. H. Morris and was owned and edited by him-until 1907, when the pres­ ent editor took charge. During its 22 years of existence the paper has changed hands but once, and for the past 14 years, it has never missed an issue and never*came out a day late with but one excep­ tion. We are proud of-tbis record. We .have tried hard to give the peo- . pie of the town and county's! clean, respectable paper and have rejoiced with our friends-when they rejoiced ana wept with them, in their sor­ rows. • We have not made a for­ tune out of the. paper but have managed ttf'eat three meals a day and pay all our honest debts. We have always worked for the best in terests of the people of Daviecounty and have lived to see many of the things we advocated come to pass, among them good roads, new coun .. ty home, .cckt^6||{)^sr;- good bridges, .: building and loan association, bet- : ter farms and better schools. We . want to thank all .of our friends who have contributed to the sup­ port of the paper in any manner whatever and earnestly solicit a continuance of their patronage. W e Have Reasoned Together And we, the people of the coun try, have concluded to vote against consolidation:1'- B ecause it h a s been trie d o u t and found wanting in the great West where (Conditions are ideal— compact districts, level - country, good roads every day in the year. 2. Because it is wholly-imprac­ ticable because of swollen streams, long distance,(muddy roads, which are impassible for weeks at a time. 3. Because we are unwilling for our children to stand in the cold, the rain, the sleet and snow for hours at a time, waiting for a school truck that never comes because its in the mud (Siree miles away. 4. Because we do not believe it right for any town, when it -needs a larger building and more teachers, to go out and arbitrarily against the will of .the people, mea­ sure off a section of the county and compell them to pay for this better school, when they must know that the country children can not have the benefits of the better school, because of the adverse con­ ditions mentioned above. 5. Because when a town by sheer force of numbers, votes consolidation on the county people nolens volens, tnen that town as-, sasiuates the great principles of Democracy and Self Determination for which a patio.ic and right think­ ing world drenched itself in hu^ man blood. - 6. Because of the slendld exam­ ple set for us by .the sensible people of Jerusalem, where they voted 3 to against consolidation and only 6 for it, two of these were Prof. Hodges principal of the Cooleemee school and his wife. The other four owns real estate in or adjacent to Coolee- mee. 7. Because we believe, confiden­ tly, that there are enough-good people men and women in the town of Mocksville, who are unwilling, by means of an overwhelming vote, to force this great wrong-upon their friends and neighbors in the county. 8." Because we love our- children just as well as the people of the town love theirs. And we want to educate them in the only way under present conditions, thatseems to us feasible or possible.-, Let the town with its boasted 80 per cent, build up its school. Let us with our 20 per cent do the same. Then we all will have our choice. ■ If we are fools—that’s our calamity. If we must have guardians, let us not havelself-appointed ones. - A COUNTRYMAN.

Umpire Bost from Cooleemee called the game. But much to the regret of all the game was short lived and had to be called off on account of rain at the end of the second inning.

Z ’ TOTS LOCKED IN I &OSET 90 HOURS Playmate Innocently Shut Them UpandForgottoTeII Searchers About It. Paterson, N. J.—Missing for 90 hours, Stella Weiner, five years old, and her /playmate, Harry Barber, seven, were found, suffering from.hunger and ex­ haustion, in the clothes closet of a vacant apartment In Which they had been imprisoned. After they had been revived,., the children explained they entered the closet while playing hide and seek, but had not closed the door. Soon afterward,’they said, Ethel Beil- inofsky, another playmate, slammed the door, and they did not realize they were sealed. up iuitil after she Caw the Partly Conscious Form of His Little Sister. had left the room. Ethel, who is only four, either forgot to mention that she had closed the door, or else did not realize they were in the closet, When 1he children failed to come home to supper, the distracted parents began an exhaustive search for them. Police and neighbors combed the vi­ cinity, but found no trace of them. A few days later Jacob Weiner and Samuel Miller visited the vacant apart­ ment for a game of cards. Strange noises from a clothes closet startled them and they opened the door. On the floor Weiner saw the partly con­ scious form of his little sister, and huddled in a corner was her boy play­ mate. Doctors summoned soon re­ vived the children. .The fact that the closet door did. not fit closely, thus permitting a slight circulation of air, saved their lives, the doctors who at­ tended them said. .

CATS CONFINED TO “ RANGE” Chicago Man Reports-Success In Novel Plgn for Keeping Pete From Straying Far Afield. Another western idea was adapted to city uses the other day when a south-sideir, who once rode the range on the Colorado plateaus, staked Out his cats to keep them , at home. The plan worked fine and now the feline animals get the air every day at-the ends of tether ropes. The cat owner found that every time he opened the cellar door-the pets made a break for the open,, fre­ quently staying away for days and returning with blackened eyes and scraiched hides. He thought of the tetbei plan, but the first irlal Was not a success, as the cats' slipped the nooses from their necks. He. then evolved a semi-hobble plan and tied the heavy string to one of the cat’s hind legs, attaching the other end of the' string to a stake driven In the back yard.

Cotton raising has become one of the principal industries of the Virgin islands, Uncle Sam’s newest territorial possession, according to Bulletin No. I, Sea Island Cotton in St. Croix, of tirn Virgin Islands agricultural’experiment station,' just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. Sea-island cotton, the much-prized, long-staple variety which has been ren-' dered almost extinct In continental United Slates by the boll weevil, is the basis of the Virgin Islands industry. The area devoted to it, while as yet small, produced an average yield of 1,000 pounds of seed cotton to the acre In 1919 and 1920.

LIVE AVER WimER IH SOIL Principal Means Effective Against the Destructive Pests Ate Applied as a Spray or as Bait in Form o f Bran Mixtures. ' (Prepared tay the United States Depart­ment a t Agriculture.) Destructive Insect pests give the gardener or farmer a fight from Oie time he puts his seed into' the ground until Uie crops are ready for .market. Left alone, they would devour every useful plant In the gardes. The suc­ cessful gardener is the one who studies the habits of these pests, learns the means Qf combating them, and keeps constantly at It The gardener who starts with clean soil has done much to keep out in­ sects and diseases. Many diseases and insects live over winter 'In the soil, and one of the best ways to avoid trouble is to plant each vegetable In a different part of the garden every year. Some of the worst garden trou­ bles are brought in on roots of plants; consequently, in buying plants of any kind one should be sure they are healthy and free from Insects. Use Some Kind of Poison. In spite of the best precautions, in­ sects will attack healthy plants. The principal measures effective, against them are various kinds of poison, gen? orally applied as a spray or as a poison bait, in the form of bran mix­ tures. The kind of poison to be.used depends upon the insects* method of feeding. Some bite and chew the leaves and other parts of the plants, and these are best destroyed by ar­ senical stomach poisons, such as Paris green, arsenate of lead, and arsenate of lime. Of these, arsenate of lead Is the best and safest for general use, and also adheres better to toe foliage. Paris green is likely to W im some plants, such as beans, seriously If not carefully applied, but on account of its long use can be obtained at every drug store and seed house.’ Sucking insects, or those which puncture the skin of the leaf and feed upon its sap, are combated with con- SJf Beetles Devouring Young Potato Vine. tact poisons, sprayed or otherwise ap‘ plied on the bugs, such as nicotine sulphate and kerosene emulsion. Where these are applied as a spray It is often desirable to mix thezn'-with bordeaux mixture to prevent various fungous troubles. The most destructive garden plant enemy, and one which madje its ap­ pearance within the last half ,of the Nineteenth century, is the . common Colorado -potato beetle) known to farmers as the potato bug. This po­ tato beetle passes the winter In the ground and emerges early In the; spring, so" that he is on hand when the first potato leaves begin to push through the ground. ' ! Easily Destroyed by Poison. - ‘ An arsenical may be applied dry, mixed witii 10 to 20 parts cheap dry flour or hydrated lime and dusted on, preferably when the dew is on, by means of guns or bellows, so as to cover the plants and leave as little as possible. The application must, be repeated?as often as new larvae hatch. A spray is generally pre-. ferred. It Is prepared by mixing the arsenical with water, or bordeaux mix­ ture at the rate of one pound of poison to 50 gallons of the liquid.. A small quantity of quicklime In the - mixture will prevent scorching the Nothing Is Required for First Thirty-Six Hours. Fowia A re. Natural Rangers and Will Pick Up Seeds, Grasses, Insects and .Green Vegetation to.: Supply Much of Living. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ment of Agriculture.) - Guineas are fed in much the same way as chickens, but they require less feed, as they are natural rangers and can be trusted to'find enough seeds of weeds and grasses, buds, insects and green vegetation In the fields to sup­ ply much of their living. For the first 36 hours after hatching no feed is required, as the sustenance from the egg is sufficient te nourish them for this period. Tbe first meal may con­ sist of a little hard-boiled egg mixed with bread crumbs, or bread may be soaked In milk, squeezed partly dry, and fed in small bits. Clabbered milk also Is very good, poultry specialists in the United States Separtmdpt of Agriculture say. Three times a day Ib as often .as they need to M fed, one feed conslst- Brood of Guinea Chicks. Ing of clabbered milk or the bread and egg or bread and milk mixture, and. the other two of chick feed. If the coop is placed In a field or pasture where green feed is available, the guinea chicks can secure this for themselves; otherwise, sprouted oats, dandelion leaves, lettuce, or onion tops cut ;fine should he furnished. Water, grit, and fine oyster shell should be before them always. By the end of the first week the young guineas will be finding enough worms and insects to take the place of the egg or milk feed, so this may be eliminated and chick feed given momifig and night. If clabbered milk is available, however, -It can be con­ tinued with excellent success, since guineas are very fond of variety In their ration and it is conducive to quick growth. As the . birds grow older whole wheat, oats, and cracked corn can be substituted gradually, for the chick feed. Arsenate of lead is sold in either dry or paste form and should be mixed at the rate of one-pound of paste or one-half pound dry powder to. 15 or 25 gallons of water or bordeaux mixture. Two or three sprayings will ordinar­ ily suffice- for the spring- brood, and the same number should be applied for the second and third generations: Both insecticides are deadly poisons and should be kept .away, from chil­ dren. The spray will also prevent in­ jury by the potato flea-beetles. BANANA STALKS ARE USEFUL Hung In Poultry House They Will Keep Llee and Vermin Away— Change Occasionally.. Banana stalks hung In the poultry houses will keep lice and vermin away Almost any grocer will give you some of these stalks for -the asking. De- stray old stalks and hang up new ones occasionally* WAY TO PREVENT MILDEWING Keep Leather in Weil-Ventilated, Dry, WeII-LigMpd Place, Exposed to Sunlight. Any leather article is almost cer­ tain to mildew if kept In a y a m , damp, and dark place, such as a closet, cellar, or stable. This-mildew­ ing probably will not reduce .seriously the serviceability 'of the article, un­ less it is allowed to remain on the leather too long. It may, however, change the color appreciably, thus in­ juring the appearance. The simplest way to prevent mildewing, say special­ ists of the United States Department of Agriculture, is to keep the leather In a Veil-ventilated, dry, well-lighted place, preferably one exposed to the sunlight Mildew can not make much headway in the sunshine. When mil­ dew develops, it should be washed off with soap and warm water, or simply wiped off with a moist cloth, drying the leather well afterwards. These simple 'measures are lPreferable to the application in the home of prepara­ tions designed to prevent the'grow th of mildew. ’ POISON BAIT FOR CUTWORMS White Arsenic, Arsenate of: Lead or Paris Green Mixed : With Bqan Is Effective. .,). Cutworms appear In early spring and cut off the stems of young plants at the surface of the ground. They are quickly destructive. The best remedy is. poisoned bait. For a small garden mix- two level tablespoons of white arsenic, arsenate o f. lead, or Paris green into five pounds-of dry .bran. Add from four to six quarts of water, In -which half a pint of sorghum or cheap molasses has' been mixed) After the mash has stood several hours scatter, it thinly over the garden, or a small quantity at the base of the plants. Pnt the poison on late In the . day, so it will be moist during the night when the cutworms feed.- - VALUE OF SILAGE One ton of silage is : equal to abont 226 ^pounds of com and 613-pounds-of clover hay for dairy cows. One ton . of Bilage is equal to 144 pounds . of com .and 936 pounds o f: clover, hop for fatten­ ing lambs. - These figures are calculated from Wisconsin experiments. “Dine well and wisely and-the cares of IUe will slip from you; Its vexations, and annoyances will dwindle.into noth­ ingness.” , HEALTH) VALUE OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. - Vegetarian schools have great faith In tomatoes as a medicine for bilious­ ness and all forms of livej trouble; this’ is because o f) the vegetable calomel in large' quanti­ ties which' is found in that fru it Bhutarb or pie plant When proper­ ly cooked) is a good laxative, while its/agreeable acid is cooling and stim­ ulating.

Nothing is' prettier for ordinary wear than skirts of striped or cross-bar ma­ terials in which a oplor or black re­ lieves the plainness of all white. Light wool fabrics with hairline stripes or crossbars in black, like that in the skirt pictured, have found many ad­ mirers this summer. Others, with stripes In high colors alternating with white, are box0or side plaited so that the white, predominates; and there are many patterns in black-and-white com­ binations. Among the newest skirts for dressy wear there are heavy crepe weaves In silk with-wide printed borders of flor­ al patterns In many colora. Theskiris are made up with this wide border abJut Hie hips or at the hem, and .a sash of white crepe, lined with chiffon in a color, accompanies them.

TheB tomorrow, when I return, I pro­ pose to try a few experiments on you, and, though I fear you will find them painful, it’s a great thing to suffer In the cause of science. . . . You will al­ ways have the satisfaction of knowing that dear little Phyllis will be well cared ,for.” Wlthr a sudden! .quick movement, he seized the girl and kissed her before she realized his in­ tention. The rope round Drummond. creaked ..as Se .struggled .impotently, and Lakington’s sneering face- seeded to swim in a red .glow. “That is quite In keeping, la It not,” he snarled, “to kiss the lady, and to strike the man like this—and this— and this? . . . ” A rain of blows came down on Drummond’s face, till, with a gasping sigh,-'the girl slipped faint­ ing to the floor. “That’ll do, Lakington,” said Peter­ son, intervening once again. “Have the girl carried upstairs, and send for Heinrich. It’s time we were oft.” With an effort Lakington let his hand fall to his side, and stood back from his victim. Perhaps for the present, It will,” he said slowly. “But tomorrow—to1 morrow, Captain 'Drummqod, you shall scream to heaven for mercy, until I take out your tongue- and you can scream no more.” He turned as the. German came ,into the room ., “I leave them .to you, Heinrich,” he remarked shortly. “Use the dog-whip if they shout, and gag them.” The German’s eyes were fixed on Hugh gloatingly! ‘They will not shout twice,” he said In his guttural voice. “The dirty Bodie to it himself will see.” TWO “We appear,” remarked Hugh quiet­ ly, a few minutes later, “to be In-for a cheery night” For a moment the German had left, the room, and three motionless, ibound figures, sitting. grotesquely In their chairs, were alone. “How did they get you, Toby?” “Half a .dozen of ’em suddenly ap­ peared,” answered Sinclair shortly, knocked me on the head, and the next thing I knew I was here In this d—d chair.” “Is that when you got your face?” asked. Hugh. “No,” said Toby, and his voice was grim. “We share In the matter .of faces, old man.” ' “Lakington again, was It?” said Hugh softly, “Dear Heaven! if I could get one hand on th a t. . .” He broke off and laughei “W hat about you, Algy?” . ■ silt blundering, in over the way, old bean,” returned /{hat worthy, “and some dam’ fellow knocked my eye­ glass off. So, as I couldn’t see to kill him, I had to join the picnic here.” Hugh laughed, and then suddenly grew serious. ‘By the. way, you didn’t see a man chewing gum on the horizon, did you, when I made my entrance? Dogrob- ber' suit, and face like a motor-mas- cot.” “Thank God, I was spared that!” re- markedAlgy. , “Good!” returned Hugh. “He’sprob­ ably away with it by now, and he’s no fool. For I’m thinking It’s only Peter and him between us and—” He left his remark unfinished, and for a while there wag silence. “Jerry is over In Prance still, putting stamp- paper on his machine’; Ted’s gone up to see that Potts Is taking nourish­ ment.’^ “And here we sit like three well- preserved specimens In a bally museum,” broke In, Algy, with a rue­ ful laugh. “What’l l . they do to us, Hugh?” ' S : But Drummond did not answer, and the speaker,. seeing the look 'on his face, did not press the question. Slowly the hours dragged on,' until' the last gleams of daylight had faded from the skylight’above, and a soli­ tary electric light, hung centrally, gave the only illumination. Period­ ically ..Heinrich had come' In to see* that they were still secure: but from the sounds . of the hoarse laughter which came at frequent intervals through the half-open door, It was evi­ dent that the German h^d found other and more congenial company. At length he appeared carrying a ttay wjih bread and water on It, which he? placed on a t^tale near Hugh. “Pood for you, you- English swine,’’ he remarked, looking gloatingly at each In turn. “Herr Lakington the or-, der gave,'so ,that you will fit be to­ morrow i£dming. Fit tor the. torture.” He thnist his flushed face close, to -Drummond's, and then deliberately spat at him; Algy Longworth gave a strangled grunt; but .Drummond' took no notice. With a quiet, smile, he looked up at the German. _ ' 1 “How- much, my friend,” he marked,“ are you getting for this?' The German leered at him. ■ “Enough to see that-you tomorrow are here,” ho sold., “And I1- always believed that yours was a business.nation,” laughed.Hugh. ’Why, you poor fool, -I’ve got a thou­ sand pounds In notes In my cigarette case.” ■ ■ ". - “You hof, hof you,” the German grunted.- “Then the filthy Boche will for you of them' take care.’' . - Hugh looked at him angrily. “If you do,’’ he cried, “you must let me go.” \ The German leered still more, - “Naturlich. You shall out of the house at once walk.” He stepped up to Drummond and ran his hands over his coat, while the others stared at one another in amaze­ ment. . Surely Hugh; didn’t imagine the swine would really let him go ; he would merely : take 1 the money and probably spit In his face' again. Then they'heard him speaking, and a sudden gleam of comprehension dawned on their faces. “You’ll have te undo one of the ropes, my friend, before you can get at it,” said Hugh qaletly. For a moment the German hesitat­ ed. He looked at the ropes carefully; the one that bound the arms a.nd the upper part of the body was separate from the rope round the legs. Bven If he did undo it the fool Englishman was still helpless, and he knew that he was'unarmed. Had he not himself re-, moved his revolver, as he lay uncon­ scious In the hall? What risk was' there, after all?. Besides, it he called some one else In he would have to share the money. And, as h e. watched the German’s indecision, 'H ugh’s, .forehead grew damp with sweat. . . . Would he. undo the rope? Would greed conquer cau­ tion? At last the Boche .made up his mind,, and went behind the- chair. Hugh felt him fumbling with the rope, and flashed an urgent look of caution at the other two. ‘You’d better be careful, Heinrich,” he remarked, “that none of the others see, or you might have'to share.” ' The German ceased undoing the knot, and grunted. The English swine had moments of brightness,, and he went over and closed the door. Then he resumed thfe operation of untying the rope ; and, since it was performed behind the chair he was In no position ifo see the look on Drummond’s face. Only the two spectators could see that, and they had almost ceased breathing In their excitement.. That he'had a plan they, knew; what it ,was they could not even guess. At last the rope fell clear and the German sprang back. ‘.‘Put the case on the table,” he cried, having not the slightest'Intention of coming within range of. those formid­ able arms. “Certainly not,” said Hugh, “until you undo my legs. TheD you' shall have It.” , „ Quite loosely he was holding the case In one hand; but the others, watching his' face, saw that, it was strained and tense. ' . “First I the notes must have.” The Gennan strove to speak conversation­ ally, but ail .the time he. was creeping nearer aind nearer to the. back of the chair. . ‘.‘Then I your legs undo, and you may go.” Algy’s warning cry rang out simul­ taneously with (tie lightning dart of the Boche's hand as he snatched at the With a .8udden, Quick Movement He Seized the Glrl and pissed Her Be­ fore She Realized His Intention. cigarette-case over Drummond’s shoul­ der. A hdthehD rum m ondlaugheda low, tariutpphant laugh. It was the more he hpd been hoping for,, and the German’s wrist was held fast In his vlse-Ilke grip; ' His. plan had sac- c&ded. ■ ■ And Longworth and Sinclair,} who bad seen many things In th eir lives, the remembrance of which wiil be with them till their dying day, had never: seen and are never likely- to' see any*. thing within- measurable distance of what they .saw in the next few min­ utes. .Slowly, inexorably,- the Germain’s arni' was being twisted,-while he Ht- tejred gasping, cries, and beat, impo­ tently at Drummond’s head with his free hand. Then at last there was a dull crack as the arm broke, and a scream of pain, as he lurched'round' the chair and stood helpless In front of the soldier, who still held the cig­ arette case In his left hand. They saw Drumimond open the. cig- a rett| case and take from it what looked like a tube of wood. Then be felt in his pocket and .took out a match-box, containing a number of long thin splinters. And, having fitted' one of the,splinters,Into the tube he put the other end In his mouth. With 'a' quick hsave they saw him. jerk the German round and catch his uubrpken arm with his free left hand. And the two bound watchers looked at Hugh’s eyes as he stared at the moan­ ing Boche, and saw that they were hard and merciless.. There was a sharp, whistling hiss, and the splinter flew from the tube Iiito the German’s face. It hung from his cheek, and even the ceaseless move­ ment of his- head filled to dislodge it “I have broken your arm," Boche;” said Drummond at length, “and now I have killed you! Tm sorry about It; I wasn’t particularly anxious to end your life: But It had to be done.” The German, hardly conscious of what he had said owing to the pain In his arm, was frantically kicking the Englishman's legs, still bound to the chair; but the iron grip on his wrists never slackened. And. then quite sud­ denly came the end. With one dread-, fnl, convulsive heave the German jerked himself free, and fell doubled up on the fiool\ Fascinated, they, watched him writhing and twisting, until at last, he lay still. . . . The Boche was dead. . . . “What 'was that blow-plpe affair?” cried Sinclair hoarsely.. ■= “The thing, they tried to finish me with in Paris last nlgiht,” answered Hugh grimly, taklnjg a knife out of his waistcoat pocket. “Let us truft -that none of his pals come In to look for him.” . ' A minute later he stood up, only to sit dowii again abruptly, - as his legs gave way! They were numbed and StifE^wIth the hours he had spent In the same position, and for a while his could do nothing but rub them, with his hands, till the blood returned and he could feel once more. Then, slowly and painfully, he tot­ tered across to the others and set them free as well. They were in an even worse condition than he had' been; and It seemed as 11 Algy would never be able to stand again, so completely dead was his body from the - waist downwards. Bat, at length, after what seemed an eternity to Drummond, who realized only too well that should the gang come In they were almost as help­ less in their present condition as if they were still bound In their chairs, the other two recovered. “All fit now? Good! We’ve got to think what we’re going to do, for we're not out of. the, wood yet by two or three iiniles.” “Let’s get the door open,” remarked Algy1 “and explore,”;. Cautiously they swung it open, and stood motionless. The house was In "absolute silence; the hail was de­ serted. . ' “Switch out the light,” whispered Hugh. “We'll wander round.” . They crept forward stealthily in- the darkness, stopping every now and then to listen.' But no sound came to their ears; it might-have-been a house of the. dead. Suddenly Drummond,', who was in front of the other ,two, stopped with a warning, hiss. A light was streaming out from under a door at the^ end of a passage and, as they stood watching it, they heard a. man’s voice- coming Jirom the same room. Some o ie else answered Kim and then there was silence once more. A t' length Hugh moved forward again, and the Othersl followed. And It was not until they got quite close to the door that a strange, continuous noise began to be noticeable—a noise which came most distinctly from the lighted room. It rose and fell with monotonous regularity; at.times it re­ sembled' a brass band—at others it died away to-a gentle murmur. Ahd occasionally, it was punctuated-with-a strangled snort. . “Great SCott!” muttered Hugh ex-., cltediy, “the whole boiling bunch are asleep, or TM eat^ay h at”; “Then who was it spoke?” said Algy: “At least, two of ’em are awake right enough.” And, as If in answer to his1 question, there came- the voice again from in­ side the room. ' “Wal, Mr. Darrell, I guess we can pass on, and leave this bunch.” W ithonelaughofjoyfulam azem ent Hugh, flung open the door, and-found himself looking from the range of a yard into two revolvers. “I. don’t know -how you’ve ,done It, boys,” he remarked, “but you can put tiiose guns away.- I hate IookIng^at them from that end.” “What the devil have they done to ail your, dials?*', said Darrell,, slowly, lowering his arm; > “We’ll leave that for the time," re- ,ttuned Hugh grimly, as he shut the door. ^There are other more pressing matters to be discussed.” f : He glanced round the room, and a slow grin spread over his. face. Theife were some twenty oif the gang, ail of them fast asleep. They sprawled gro­ tesquely over the Jable; thfey lolled in chairs; they lay on the floor, they hud­ dled iii; confers. And, without excep­ tion, iUiey snored anfcscorted. “A dandy bunch,” >?fflarked the American, gazing^ at them with sattp- facttec,- Then he. turned .to Drmn- THE DAVlE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, HORTRGAROmrA At Least J.

Peter;’ and get these lumps of meat carted out to the lorry. And,, while you do it well go upstairs and mop. up." Even In his wildest dreams Hugh had never Imagined such a wonderful opportunity. To be In complete pos­ session of the house, with strong forces at his beck and call, was a state of affairs' which rendered him almost speechless. ! “Keep your guna. handy,” whispered Hugh. “We’rf draw eaeh room In turn till we find the girl.” ' But they were not to be-put to so much trouble. Suddenly a door oppo­ site. opened, and the man who had been guarding PhylllsT Benton- peered "And Now I Have .KIiIed You. I'm Sorry About It.” ■ out suspiciously. His jaw fell and « look of aghast surprise spread over his face as he saw the four men In front of him. Hugh stepped past_ him and was smiling at the girl wlTo, with a little cry of joyful wonder, had risen’ from her. chair. “Your face, boy,” she whispered, as he took her in his arms, regardless of the others, “your poor old face! Oh, that brute, Lakington!” He laughed gently, and for a mo­ ment she ,clung to him, upmindful of how he had got to her, glorying only In the fact that he had. It seemed to. her-that there was nothing which this: wonderful man of hers couldn’t man­ age; and now, blindly trusting,-she waited to be told what to do. Tbe nightmare was ore*; Hugh was with her. . , . “Are there any cars outside?”- Kugh turned to the American. “Yours,” answered that worthy. “And mine is hidden behind Mlsa Benton's greenhouse unless they’ve moved it,” remarked Algy. ’ “Good,” said Hugh. “Algy, take Miss Benton and her father up to Halt Moon'street—at once: Then comeback here.” “But, Hugh—” lif^riiu Oie girl ap­ pealingly. • y “At once, dear,- please.” He smiled at her tenderly, but his tone was de­ cided. “This is going to. bo no. place for you In the near future.” With no further word of protest the girl followed Algy, and Hugh drew a breath of relief.: “Now, you ugly-looklng blighter,” he remarked to the cowering ruffian, who was by this time shaking with fright, ^ v e come to you.

Roads naval', base' New York.—Scientists and inventors discussed the remarkable qualities of a new gun, which Dr. Miller Reese Hutchinson, former chief engineer for Thomas A. Edison, claims may: be de­ veloped .to hurl a projectile of five tons from 200 to 300 miles. Its velocity, he declared, ranges from one to five miles a second. The noise it made at a de­ monstration sounded much like the click, of a cash register though only a’ miniature weapon, with an eightinch barrel, was used. Its projectile may be' stopped, in a sheet, of steel with th'e. precision of- a trolley car. The gun is the invention of John Temple, an Englishman, who develop1 ed the idea in this country. The demonstration gun used by Dr. Hutchinson had a velocity of one mile a second. He declared Uie high pow­ er rifles now in vogue obtain their velocity through the use of small pro­ jectiles, long barrels and about three times as much powder as is used in the new weapon. The principle' of burning powder, which does not permit waste before the projectile even starts to move, has been applied in the gun, Dr. Hutchinson explained.

C. Moore, clerk of Mecklen- burg county court, says the Char­ lotte News. ■ The story begins about a half cen­ tury ago. In Charlotte lived a man named Willian Gray who held his wife above all things both earthly and heavenly. A man Of considerable wealth he was owning most of the block on which the Hunter-House cigar store now stands. Real estate h lding in his name dotted other sections of the city. His' life was easy and carefree. But one day his rabbit foot trick­ ed him. Hiswife died. Withabroken heart he saw her buried behind the First Presbyterian cubrch Thesun- siina faded out of his lifeand he be­ gan to curse God for taking away las greatest treasure. “I used to see him sitting out near her grave in the late afternoon,” said Mr. Moore.- “He cursed and swore in a low voice as he held his face in his hand?.' Almost evary day when the weather permitted he could be found sitting there behind the church in the dust of the evening. ‘ As the days passed' he began' to hate everything pertaining to re ligion. And suddenly he make a mad vow that he would never as long as he should live take another bath or get his hair cut.- Theyears passed. He never bathed or clipped his locks. For 20 years water never touched his body or the shears his head. And he began to do strange things Heussd to write his little pieces of. poetry in opposition to religion and tack them up bn the court house which was Jthen where the Selwyn hotel now is. Almost every word he uttered was against God and the church. He cursed and swore the livelong day. The death of his wife a fine woman she was, became stamp­ ed more vividly on his mind as time flew by. — "One day about 40 years ago the high roof of the Presbytirian church r jtted away and Wm. Tiddey under stood the task of having it fixed for the congregation. Across the street sat old Bill Gray every day after the work started. He watched the slow progress of the building and began to write little pieces about it. He always tacked them up in his own handwriting: Be commented to those he knew on the work. "When the work was done George A Wilson. R. A. Cochran and W. B. Nisbet, deacons of the chu-ch began to canvas for funds to pay for the work. While going do.wn West Trade street they passed Bill Gray. “ ‘Come back here boys’ he yelled "They turned around and came back. They had not intended to ask him for a donotion, for they thought Bill Gray would bejthe last .man .on earth to give to such work. But said: " ‘Boys, I’ve got a little piece of paper here I have been , holding for V ju for several days. I see you are not coming for it, so I called you back myself.’ "The little piece of paper was. a check for $100. The deacons had thought at first that it was a sareas be bit of poetry. Thev.could hardlv believe their eyes. Had Bill Cray been converted? ‘ ‘I know you’re thinking, boys/ siid Bill. ‘But I want yo'u to under­ stand I am not giving this to the church. [ am giving this $100 because think that steeple is a dam pretty Ornament tothecityl Snd I am al­ ways ready to|eont rihute.to anything wnich will beautify the city. It is not religion with me-r.it is the city of Charlotte.’ . ;v. Li:: ' Ln, AnB that was the onlyv.time auv- uoay ever thnn^f. nin' c..;.eYer thought Bill Grav had changed his habit of thinking.

Certainly times are hard because the people of this State are economizing. W-hy, they spent °hly $4,200,000 for gasoline to run their automobile during the past four months. At Raleigh1Tt is estimated that the gasoline bill for the year will run to a mere $25,- 200,000. There’s O nljy seven mil­ lions more than the foolhardy ask­ ed the State to devote in six years to the permanent improvement of educat onal and eleemosynary in­ stitutions. Really a protest that money is hard to get will not be convincing so long as the people burn up more than two million a month in plea­ sure driving, plus the comparatively small, amount burned by automo­ biles which are commercial burdep bearers. We-assume from the auto­ mobile.statistice that most of the gasoline is devoted to the pursuit of the pleasure purelj7. •Mr: Rockefellow and other gen­ tlemen interested in oil have no cause for concern. Their business is a going business. Little wonder that the oil well owners of the south­ west are enjoying themselves wag­ ering large- sums on greyhounds races. They have to speed things up to keep anywhere nearly abreast of the incoming golden tide. Ohe can estimate roughly the enormous consumption of gasoline through­ out the country, since provirical North Carolina is burning it this rapidly. From these figures it is deduced that North Carolina is buring it this rapidly. From these figures it is deduced that North Carolina are not broke, but may be. They cannot yet contend successfully against the State doing its duty in the way our superabundant resources of Iats development have been exhausted. Mostly gas is. sold for cash. So'' long as the folks can put up,” we are not busted—that is, not all of ris.—Greensboro Record. D elightful B irthday. On Wednesday the 6th, friends and relatives of Mr. CarspnSmith gath­ ered at his home near Redland to join with him and his wife in celebrating Mr.- Smith’s seventiteth birthday. Long before the noon hour came peo­ ple began to arrive by means of var­ ious conveyances. By noon eighty six had gathered for the occasion. From nearly every home represented well filled baskets of the very best food came. At noon the women in charge of these baskets emptied, them onto a forty foot table. Thei sight of such a table and the taste of such spiendid edibles caused every one to-eat more than nature called for. Lemonadewas served almost through the entire afternoon. Ii was hard to tell who ate the most, but it was finally decided that Frank- Smith went a little ahead in this re- pect. The occasion was so en joy able that we all regretted to leave, in fact many departed very reluctantly. Several presents and many congratu­ lations were given during the day, Mr. Smith lives in. and.belong to a community that believes in. the. old type' of Sou.teern hospitality. We wish for Mt: and Mrs. Smith, many m o re years of usefulness and more celebrations such as this one was. 3 . W. VESTAL Hep, Hep. “See here,” said the irritated corporal, addressing a recuite.

I//;- Time To Stop. ~ (Stanley News HeraIdTji5--gTr The time has come to call a halt Congressman passed the woman suffrage act, the prohibition act and many other laws which bound state whose populations were bitter­ ly opposed to such laws, and now the next step is the consideration of “blue laws,” which, if passed by Congress would close up everything in every state on Sunday which a few goody goodies might think ought to be closed. We believe in- observing the Holy Sabbath, but vve are most uncompromisingly op­ posed to Congress having anytning to say about it. We think that the people of each, state still have re­ ligion and decency enough t° pass such sabbath laws as they may want to be bound by, and we insist upon holding to right to do so, -in so far as North Carolina is concern­ ed. If a few of Lhe America cranks who are trying to regulate the mor­ als of the American people by laws passed by congress are allowed to :eep up their fanatical practices we shall, soon Be forced tor drink water with our faces towards the east. It is time that the American peo­ ple demand that a few of these pro­ hibition cranks, tobacco cranks and Sabbath law fanatics be put to work for their living like some of the rest of the rest of us. Let’s call a halt right now before this business goes any futher.

A month a- go a letterfrom the ‘ ‘seven lonesome cowboys” reached the.Pbiladelpliia police, asking for seven girls to join them in Texas with matrimony as the object. “ We live in a handsome two-story stone_house’ ’ wrote the cowboys, with a bedutiful stone turret, at 401- Broadway we. don’t have to work hard.

I leave it tcrthose who know, me to judge between-us.. The tax for graded schools in Mocksville in 1920, was 23 cents on the $100. If the bond issue carries on the 19th, and the tax rate is fixed at 58 cents, people living in the corporate limits of Mocksville will pay 35 cents on the $100 more than they are now paying, while those’outside will pay 58 cents on the $100 more than- they are now paying. Mr. Bradly told the Mocksville people last Fri­ day night that the Mocksville peo­ ple would pay only 8 cents on the $100 more than they are now paying or would have -t0 pay if the rate was made 58. cents. In 1903 we asked the legislature to allow Mocksville to issue $1,000 in bonds for a school house, and levy a 25 cents tax for schools. The bill was -defeated by certain people in Mocksvillebecause they said they were not able to pay the tax, and they got SenatorScales of Guilford county to defeat the bill in the Senate, their reason given at the time was, that it would make our tax burdens too heavy. No such conditions, existed in this country and in the world as now, yet they are over anxious to increase the burdens now weighing heavily up­ on the farmers as -well as nearly, every one-else’s shoulders. It was just as necessary to give the .boys and giils the chance in 1903 as it is now, provided always if we were able to do it. The law passed for the town allows the taxing authori­ ties to levy up to 50 cents on the $100, yet they only levied 23 cents last year. If the town people are to pay it, why not' levy it and have a better school-, and not force, it at this time on the country people when it is plain that they do -not want it? Why saddle a 38, cent rate on the farmers at this time when many of them will not make enough to live on decently . another -. year? Why take $2,400 a year out of-the children’s school fund and pay it to Mr. Bradley, while everything the farmer is raising is going down, down, down? Why raise ou'r prin­ cipal’s salary from $i,8QO:to $2,500 a year, and talk about building him a home to live_in out "of the school funds when hundreds of the people are without a home and pay­ ing rent, and give it to him free of rent? Are-the manufacturers in Mocksville furnishing' their labor­ ers with free homes to liye in? ' All sorts of unfair tactics have been' employed in this campaign, and nearly half of the qualified voters of-the township have been disfran­ chised by an act of the legislature in order to give them a chance like this to carry elections by elimii at- ing a large number of the-voters of the district. I .have fought. for what I believed .was for the best for more than twenty years, and I shall keep up the fight- Until I go hence. Go to Raleigh and look up the record of your' member • from Davie. See how“ he vote's- to in­ crease salaries not only;in Davie but elsewhere. See how He: voted for issuing millions Of bonds, and against amendments to' allow, the people to vote on the question. I would not be honest or fair, , if -I criticised him and failed to criticise the board of education and the town school trustees of "Mocksville for doing the same-thing; - It’s no time to increase the. tax burdens or any other burdens; and I shall vote against it. I have done my duty as I see it, regardless of the sland­ erous and vile charges contained in the circulars “daddied” by a preacher of the gospel; . -. posted in town and circulated -over the town­ ship. If you want more bonds and taxes to pay, vote - for them. . I have tried for the past-six, months to see ourtovsjn budggtjgsbowing how our money, is being spent.

A, gooa emergency'dessert or salad may be made with any good gelatine jelly as a basis. Lemon jelly is especially . good. Try it with this oner A r r a n g e some lemon jelly, a teaspoonful or two of peaches cut in quarters, a spoonful of orange marmalade and a tablespoonful of pineapple preserve with a little of its juice to top the sherbet cup; Whipped cream may be added if one has it, but it is good without... Some of the same lemon Jelly may be used as . a salad with fish at some other meal. Serve it on head lettuce; with a rich mayonnaise. Pea- . nuts are nice sprinkled over the top of such a salad. _ Creamed Onions' With ,Parsley.— Cook even-sized onions in 'boiling water, adding salt as. they are nearly cooked. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, add the same'amount of flour for half a dozen onions, a half tea­ spoonful of . salt and a little less of paprika, stir until well blended, then add a cupful of rich milk and half a cupful of the. liquor In. which, the onions were cooked; serve poured over the onions and sprinkle with fine­ ly minced parsley, . ;; Lamb Stew, With Peas.—Take a shoulder CUt1-Cover with boiling water and cook until tender, thicken with flour stirred with some of the meat liquor, add a pint of green peas and cook until the peas are tender. Si son well and serve the meat on a plat-, ter surrounded with the' peas. Now is the time to put up the small fruits, crushing until well mashed and mixing with an equal amount of sugar. Stir until the sugar is all dis­ solved, then can in sterile jars. Set on the cellar bottom or In the Ice, chest where they^viU keep cool.

Cheese Salad.—Take a cream cheese or two, add thick sweet, cream to soft­ en, season with chopped chives; green pepper and nuts. Make into balls and serve on lettuce with a ,good boiled, dressing. Cottage cheese served plain, after it has been enriched .with cream and such seasonings as are needed, served with a good boiled dressing, makes a most tasty salad. Cheese. Savory.:— To one cream cheese add a tablespoonful of softened butter, one teaspoonful of chives, one- half teaspoonful. of' parsley, both chopped; one-third of a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce and anchovy essence, with ! salt and paprika to taste.

The knitted cape nmde its entry this season and bids fair already to divide ' honors - with the sweater. These capes, are made In both quiet and high colors, with deep collars of angora wo,ol; In'white or col­ ors and are worn as sweater and sweater-eoats are, by young and old. They are a distinct asset In the ward­ robe, and have come to stay for some time. The Introduction .of accordion plaiting In these knitted garments means a great deal, In additional Iieauty and “class,” to them. One of the new models In- knitted suits is shown in the picture above, which .succeeds In being so explicit that words are- hardly needed to de­ scribe it.; The skirt and coat are bor­ dered With parrow stripes knitted In a contrasting color. The scarf and the belt are not plaited and are knit In a plain stitch without the. drop- stitch crossbar which elaborates the skirt and coat. Detachable scarfs to match, or attached collars that-are ex­ tended into scarf ends, as In the suit shown here, are. among the late offer­ ings. in suits of this kind. The coat contrived a practical pair of incon­ spicuous pockets and serves as a sweater-coat With other skirts. These knitted clothes are made for outdoorlng and have caught the at­ tention of women everywhere. They are smart arid dependable and are al­ ready being-made In silk and silk fiber, which will land them- among the best- liked of summer belongings. They have the informal character in com­ pany. with elegance arid beautiful color which has .made the sweater-coat a universal favorite. .

IYom researches of more than a quar­ ter of a century, Dr. James Gardner, Bnglish health officer, concludes that nearly invisible hot- fumes, spreading from the chimneys of these workshops, carry a considerable charge of ben­ zene and napthalene, with manganese and other metallic poisons; and.that the inhalation of these vapors tends to. affect the skin and respiratory and nervous systems. The eventual result may be some form of skin dis­ ease, rheumatism, pneumonia or even cancer. Collecting the poisonous ma­ terial in a cup or hood for the chim­ ney is a suggested remedy. The House of Lights. "The vast hall was a blaze of daz­ zling light. From the center of the ceiling, almost touching the heads of the guests, hung a magnificent chan­ delier, fashioned like , a huge rose, boasting a hundred gleaming electric bulbs which cast a wondrous radiance over the great assembly. Every niche In the ornate walls had a gleaming bulb and every alcove was a miniature of light! It was magnificent!” At this point the struggling author dropped his pen and called out to his w ife: “Rosie, . for goodness’ sake bring me another candle I” - Might Say Most Magazines. Jud TurikIns says you don’t have to buy-some magazines to enjoy the best they’ve got to offer; which is the pic­ ture on the cover.—Washington Star. The Queer Kilometer. Col. Theodore Koosevelt told at an American Legion banquet a story about a fake soldier. “Like most fakes,” said Colonel Roosevelt, “he gave himself away. He was describing how he got his medals, and he made the fighting -so fierce that one of his listeners said with a sneer; . “ ‘Under all that machine gun fire it’s a wonder you didn’t get hit.’ “ T would have got hit for sure,’ said the fake hero, ‘‘if I hadn’t crouched down in a-kilometer.’” Foreign Wheat Yields. The wheat yield of Australia Is ex­ pected to be between 125;000,000 and 130,000,000 bushels, of which 100,000,- 000 are available for export. The cur­ rent yield is the largest since 1916-17, although not the record year. The latest estimate for the 1920-21 wheat crop of India gives the total at 23,600,- 000 acre% as against 28,600,000 acres for the corresponding forecast of last year. Tfte yield will be very much smaller proportionately than last year.

The first time he Was sighted by the only victim to whom he is known to have repaid a "touch” he was sprinting west In Chambers street. A few hundred feet away, he was noticed searching wild­ ly through his pockets and register­ ing simultaneously Impatience, embar­ rassment and chagrin. ‘•What do you think about that?" he appealed to the victim as he rushed and halted. “Some pocket-picking cuss has grabbed my roll!” “You might have lost it,” the victim suggested. The well-dressed man was relieved —vastly relieved. “Glad you men­ tioned that,” he observed, blocking the other’s progress east. .' “Gives me the creeps to think some guy had his hand in my pocket. At that Tm care­ less—very careless. If I had less mon­ ey I might be more careful.” ‘ At that the victim, not knowing he was about to be bled and thinking himself slightly outclassed financially, started on his way, only to be re­ called by the stranger. •' Tale That Brings Coin.' “Are you from New Jersey?" asked the man. “I ask,” he went on hur­ riedly at the other’s negative shake of the head, “because' Tm well known over there. Well-to-do family and all that sort of thing—uncle-way up.in Democratic politics over In Jersey City—another one down -at Perth Am- boyl My name’s Doeley, and if you had known anyone over in Jersey I was going to' ask you to lend me a dollar until I could get some ikoney.” The victim's hand slid toward his pocket “! haven’t—” he began. “That’s all right, old man," said Doeley—that Isn’t quite his right name,'by the way—“don’t let my trou­ bles'wOrry you. AS'a m atter of Jfact won’t need a whole dollar. I only need one way fare to Perth Amboy PU be coming right back through New York to go to my own home In New London, and—” " Something” in the victim’s expres­ sion told him that he had named a locality that was familiar. “You know people in’ New London?” he asked. • . “A few." “Do you ^know -?” he began, men­ tioning the^name of a friend of the victim;, And upon being told the name was familiar, he ran through a list of New. Londoners that was al­ most a complete directory of one part of the town. “Isn’t. It fortunate that I’ve met a fellow who knows people I know," Doeley continued af­ fably, and he laid his hand on the victim’s shoulder.: He proceeded to enumerate the eccentricities of one of the victim’s New London friends and raking his memory again, spoke of the trick automobile another used to own. Doeley- Lands His Dollar. I The connection was made and Doe­ ley played for his dollar. Eventually he got it .‘TH .be through New York In exact­ ly three hours,” he called over -his shoulder as he sped toward the West side ferries. “PU look you up .and we can go to supper, together before I run for the Federal Express. You allmight workers are a bunch of good old scouts. Slong.” It -wasn't until eleven-o'clock that night, an hour after-Doeley saj^ he -Vnnlri MKear on deck with- a .roll that the victim, one of the night workers who knew better thin to believe ev- erythlngohe hears up .and down Park Row, looked down on Broadway and confided to a friend that he was wait­ ing for a man. from New London, a well-dressed lad with the gift' oif gab who jia d had his pocket picked while spending a day in woolly New York. “Sa-a-ay," said the friend, “this New London bird wasn’t on his way to Perth Amboy to get some Jhck from a wealthy unde, was he?" The victim, then just beginning to surmise the . worst, nodded. For. the next three dayw he continued to hear the stories of other victims who “fell” for the story of thO stolen roll and the -high family, ties and Perth Amboy and everything, In the stories of ordinary panhan­ dlers’ “suckers" there would be noth­ ing further to remark. In this one, however, there was a sequel. It was four, o’clock oh a Sunday morning and Ihe victim mentioned In Part I and another night working pal were sitting in one of the most luxuri­ ous armchairs that' coiild be; found In several years' inspection. They had just completed a general free-for-all discussion o f'th e ability of various panhandlers when the door was thrust violently open by two men. The new­ comers proceeded to the counter.; one invited the other to order anything he wanted. "Have a couple of ham-aind sand­ wiches, Mr. Doeley," ne urged. 'They’ll dp you good and you’U need them to hold you over until you reach New London.” That Well-Remembered Voice. . “Perth Amboy,” the other corrected, “New London later on.” The victim turned slowly.. He wasn’t mistaken. He couldn’t forget that face nor the thick-rimmed spec­ tacles perched on the—now that he noticed it—rather pre-Volsteadian nose. His inclination was to do some­ thing that would measure up . to the statute that covers felonies, but wait­ ed until Doeley. and bis latest “sucker” were well on their way to the end of the meal. Then he walked over, his pal bringing up a strong rear. “Helio Doeley,” he said In greeting. “How about that buck?” “You've certainly got the advantage of me,” Doeley answered in a voice that had its root in the1 Social Reg­ ister. ; “You certainly have. I . guess Pve got a standard face.” “No you haven’t," the ham-'and eater was told. “As a matter' of fact you have a rather successful' face.” Doeley stood on his dignity until a bit of paper upon which he had writ­ ten his name and an address and tele­ phone number In New London were produced. Then his eyes popped out at .least three-quarters of an inch. Finds Tooth of Fish That Was Big as Steamer Los Angeles, 'CaL—A tooth of some prehistoric fish, so large as to indicate its owner’s size was nearly that of an ocean liner, has been found among other fossils In the lime pits at’ Tbrrance, near here. Aboiit one-third of the tooth Is missing. The- portion' found weighs nearly two pounds, is five inches long, four Inches across the base and almost two Inches thick. Many bones of prehistoric ani­ mals are daily being taken from the pits. Either one of them would have served to hold a hat or a coat. “Sure enough,” he laughed.- "You’re the fellow who was kind ,enough to let me have a dollar the other night." “Yes,” said the victim, "and you were going to stop In with it on your way back to New London.” “Right And I haven’t got started back yet. Had some business to at­ tend to—-shipping board stuff—owe me ii lot of money—you understand." ‘ . The. victim nodded. “I understand,” he agreed. A .Fast and Agile Talker. “And I’ve mislaid your address. Can’t find it anywhere. Left it In one of my other suits, I guess.” Again the victim nodded. He un­ derstood. “B ut you can slip it to me •now,” he suggested. “You must have been down" to see your—was it your uncle?" Doeley was breathing jerkily by that time, but he was able to explain that he’ had let his wallet tumble out of his pocket, while riding across the Brook­ lyn bridge. , “Yes,, he was riding across the bridge,” his “sucker” interposed. “And I’ve promised to let him have enough to get. to Perth Amboy.” .' In the ten minutes that followed the first victim informed the new stranger that Doeley had already lost his pock- etbook or had his pockets picked nine times at least within ten days. “I don’t carO,” said'-the 'new one. “I’ve promised to give him '52 and as a m atter of. principle Tin going to keep the promise. Tm going' to. hand him two dollar-bills right now and beat it back to Paterson,' and if you want to hit him over the'dome with a 'mustard pot or something and take one of them, it’s no concern of mine.” Doeley got the two dollars and sur­ rendered one to the victim-'who had found him out “Take it,” he said, “and we’ll be goOd friends.” As the successful victim and his pal walked out of the restaurant, the pal turned. “You certainly went to a million dol­ lars’-worth of trouble for one berry, old top,” he observed. “Any one’ll think yoq borrowed it to— . “Lay off,” said the victim. “I did."

ONE “Toby, Tve got a sort of horrid feel- Ing that the hunt is nearly over.” With a regretful sigh Hugh swung the cart out of the sleeping town of Gpdalmlng in the direction of LSidley Towers.. Mile after mile dropped smoothly behind th*e powerful two- seater, and still Drummond's eyes wore a look of resigned sadness. “Very nearly over," - he remarked again. “And then once more the tedium of respectability positively stares us In the face.”' “You’ll be getting married, old bean,’’ murmured Toby Sinclair hopefully. ' For a moment his companion bright­ ened) up. “True, O King,” he answered.. ‘I t will ease the situation somewhat; at least, I suppose so. But think of it, Toby: no Laklngton, no Peterson— nothing at all to play about with and keep one amused.” “You’re very certain, Hugh:’* With a teeilog almost o f wonder Sinclair glanced at the square-jawed, ugly profile beside him. “There’s many a slip . . .“ “My dear old man,” interrupted Drummond, “there’s only one cure for the proverb-quoting disease.—a dose of salts In the morning.” Eor a wh.lle they raced oh through the warm sum­ mer’s night In silence, and It was not till they werfe within a mile ot their destination that Sinclair spoke again. “W hat are you going to do with them, Hugh?” “Who—our Carf'and llftle Henry?" Drummond grinned gently. “Why, I think that Carl and I will part amicably—unless, of course, he gives me any trouble. And as for Lhklng- ton—we’ll have to see about Laklng­ ton.” The grin faded from, his face as he spoke., “We’ll have to see about our little Henry,” he repeated softly. “And I can’t help feeling, Toby, that between us we shall find a method of ridding the earth of such a thoroughly unpleasing fellow.” “You mean to kill him?” grunted the other non-commlttally. “Just, that, and no more,” responded Hugh. “ Tomorrow momihg as ever is. But he’s going to get the shock of his young life before It happens.” He pulled the car up silently In the deep shadows of some trees, and the two men got out. 'Now, old boy, you'take her back to The Elms.” lBut confound it all,” spluttered Toby Sinclair; “Don’t you want me to help you?” ' - “I do: by taking the’buzz-box back. This little show is my shout” For a moment or two Hngh stood: watching the car as It disappeared down the road along which they had just come, while his thoughts turned to the girl now safely asleept In his flat In London. Another week—per­ haps a fortnight—but no more. Not a day more. . . . ' And so delightful was the train of thought thus con­ jured up, that for a while Peterson and Lakington \£ere forgotten. The roseate dreams of the young about to wed have been known to act similarly before. ' Wherefore” to the soldier’s instinc­ tive .second nature, trained In the war and sharpened by his grim duel with the gang, must be given the credit of preventing, the ringing of the wedding- Iiells being postponed for good. The sudden snap of a twig dose by, the sharp Mss of a compressed-air rifle, seemed simultaneous with Hugh hurt­ ing himself fiat on’his face behind a sheltering bush. In reality there was that fraction of a second between the actions which allowed the bullet-to pass harmlessly 'over his body Instead of finishing his career ,there and then. He heart it go zipping through the undergrowth as he lay motionless oh' the ground; then very cautiously he turned his head and peered about. , A shrub was shaking a 'few yards away, and on it Hugh fixed his half- dosed eyes. If he lay ' quite still the man, whoever he was, would probably assume the. shot* had takeh. eifect, and; come; and .Investigate, ! Then things; would be easier, as two or three.. Boches had discovered to .tiielr cost- In days gone by.- For two minutes he saw no one; then very slowly the branches' parted:, and the white face of a man peered through. It was the chauffeur who usually drove th e :-Rolls. Boyce,, .and he seemed unduly anxious to satisfy himself that'all was well before com­ ing nearer. The fame of Hugh Drum­ mond had spread;abroad amongst the satellites of -Peterson. .1 . A t last he-seemed to.; make up; his mind, and came out -'Jtfhr !the. open. Step by step he advanced toward the jnotlonless figure,' his weapon held In readiness to shoot at the faintest movement. • But th e; 1 soldier lay sprawling and inert, and by the tune the chauffeur had reached him wwe was no doubt In that worthy’s mind that, at last, this wretched meddler with things that concerned him not had been laid by the heels. ,Which was as unfortunate for the chauffeur as It had been for unwary Huns in the past. Contemptuously he rolled Drum­ mond-over; then, noting the relaxed muscles' and inert limbs, he laid his gun oh the ground preparatory to run­ ning. through his victim’s pockets. Ahii the fact that such an action' was a Uttle more foolish than offering a man- eating tiger a peppermint lozenge did not trouble the chauffeur. 'In fact, nothing troubled him again. H e-got out one gasping cry of ter­ ror as he realized his mistake; then he had a blurred consciousness of the world upside" down, and everything was over. It was Olaki’s most danger­ ous throw,- carried out by gripping the victim’s wrists and hurling KIs body over by a heave of the legs. Andnine times out of ten the reyilt was a broken neck. This was one of the nine. For a while the soldier stared at the body, frowning thoughtfully. To have killed the chauffeur was inconvenient, but since it had happened it neces­ sitated a little rearrangement of his pin(13. The moon was setting and the night would become darker, so there' was a good chance that Laklngton would not recognize that- the driver of his car had changed. And if he did—well, It would be necessary to forego the.somewhat theatrical enter­ tainment he had staged for his benefit at The Elms. Bending over the dead man, he removed his long grey driv- Ing-coat and cap; then, without a sound, Re threaded his way through the bushes In search of the car. He fpund it about a hundred yards nearer the house, so well hidden In a small*, space off ,the road that he was almost on top of it before he real­ ized the*fact. To his relief it was empty, and placing his own cap In a ,pocket under tlie seat he put on the drlving-coat of his predecessor. Then, with a quick glance round to ensure that everything was in readiness for the immediate and rapid departure such as he imagined Laklngton would desire, he turned and crept stealthily toward the house. TWO Laldley Towers was en fete. The duchess, determined that every con­ ceivable stunt. should bfe carried out which would make for the entertain­ ment of her guests, had spared no pains to make the evening a success. The duke, bored to extinction, had been five times routed out of his study by his Indefatigable spouse, and was now, at the moment Hugh first came In sight of the'house, engaged In shak­ ing hands with a tall, aristocratlc- looking Indian. .. . . “Hoyr d’y do,” he' murmured ,va­ cantly. “What; did you say the dam’ fellah’s name wac, a y dear?” he whis­ pered In a hoarse undertone to the duchess, who stood beside him wel­ coming the distinguished foreigner. ■ “We’re so glad you could come, Mr. Iiam Dar,” remarked the duchess af­ fably. “Everyone is so looking for­ ward to your wonderful, entertain­ ment.” Bound her neck were the his­ toric pearls, and as the Indian bowed low over her.' outstretched hand,, his eyes gleamed for a second. It had been the marquis of J^aidley himself who had suggested getting hold of this most celebrated perform­ er, who had apparently never been In England before. And since the marquis of Laldley’s coming-of-age Was the cause of the whole evening’s entertainment, his . suggestion' had been hailed with acclamation. - How he had heard about the' Indian, and from whom, were points about which he was very vague; but since he was a very vague young man, the fact elicited no comm ent' The main thing was that here, in the flesh, was a dark, mysterious performer of the oc­ cult, apd what- more could a house party reqvflre? And' In the general excitement Hugh Drummond crept closer to the open window. Suddenly his jaw tightened; Irma Peterson had entered the room with young Laidley. “Do you want' anything done, Ur. Bam Dar?” asked. the duchess—“the lights .down or tlie window shut?” ' “No, I thank you,” returned the In­ dian. uI am ready. Who first will :learn of-the th in g s^at are writlien.dn the scroll of 5*ate?” And it was at that moment .that the intent watcher 'outsfde the window began to shake with silent mirth.

An intimate Inside knowledge of thei skeletons that rattled their bnn.es In; the cupboards of most of those present enabled, the gods to speak' .with disconcerting accuracy; and as each victim insisted on some­ body new facing the sands that came frpm beyond the mountains, 1 the per­ formance seemed likely to list lnidefi- nltely. - At' last -a. sudden, delighted burst of applause came from the group, an­ nouncing the discomfiture of yet an- other gnest, and with I t1Lakington seemed to tire of the-amusement, Eh-: grossed though he was' in the anticipa­ tion of the main item which was still to be staged, Drummond could not but adm|re the extraordinary accuracy of the character study. Not a detail had been overlooked; not a single flaw In Lakington’s acting could he notice. It was an Indian who stood there, and when a few days later Hugh returned her-pearls' to the duchess, for. a long time neither she nor her husband would believe that Bam Dar had been an Englishman disguised.. . . And this was what, happened as seen bjr the fascinated onlooker crouching near the window iintslde. Superbly disdainful, the Indian .after- a short, meaningless patter, to hold the attention of the audience, stalked to the open window. With arms outstretched' he stared into .the darkness, seeming to- gather strength from the gods whom he- served. “Do your ears not hear the whisper Ings of the night?” he demanded. “Life rustling In ,the leaves ; death moaning “Where Did the Protector ot the Poor Obtain the Sacred Cabinet of the Chcw Kings?" through the grasses.” And suddenly he threw hack his head and laughed, a fierce, mocking laugh; then he swung round-and faced the room. For a while he stood motionless, and Hugh, from the shelter of the bushes, wondered whether the two quick flashes that had come from his robe as he spoke— flashes' such as a small electric torch will give, and which were unseen By anyone else—were a signal to the de­ funct chauffeur. ; Then a peculiar look came over, the Jndian's face, as "his eyes fell- on' a Chinese cabinet. ‘ “Where did the Protector of the Poor obtain' the sacred cabinet of the Chow kings?" He peered at lt'rever- ently, and the duke coughed. “One of my ancestors picked- it up somewhere," he answered apologeti­ cally. “Fashioned with the blood of men, guarded with their lives, and one of your ancestors picked It up!” The duke withered completely under the biting scorn of the ,words, and' seemed aboiit to say something, but the Indian had turned away,1 and his long, delicate fingers were hovering over the box. With gleaming eyes he- stared' In front ^of him, and a woman shuddered iudibly. “What is it supposed to do?” she ventured timidly. ^ . “For, centuries that box contained the jewels—precious beyond ,words —of the reigning queens of the Chow dynasty. They were wrapped' In sil­ ver and gold tissue—of which this is a feeble, modem substitute.” ... From a cummerbund under his robe he drew, a piece of shining material, the appearance of which was greeted with cries of feminine delight " : "You would not ask me to commit sacrilege?” Quietly he replaced the material In his belt and turped away, and Hugh’s eyes glistened-at the clev­ erness with which-the man was act-r ing. Whether.-they -believed it or not, there was not a soul In the room by this time who was not consumed with- eagerness to put the Chinese cabinet to the test “Supposing you took my pearls, Mr.' Bam Dar,” said the duchess diffident­ ly. • “I know that compared to • such historic 'jewels-'they are poor, 1>ut per­ haps it would not be sacrilege.” Not^ a musde on Lakington’s face twitched, - though It was the thing he had been playing for. Instead he seemed to be sunk in-thought, ..while th e' duchess continued : pleading, And the rest oif the party, added their en­ treaties. ' '• Then; as if. he had - decided suddenly, he . swung round. : -1T will, try," he announced briefly, and the duchess headed the -chorus of delight “ Will the Presences stand back, and you, your Grace, take that?” He handed her the ptece of JnaterlaL, “No IianJ Bii pearls. Wrap Uiem up itjiie the sil­ ver and gold.’;I'.'. Aloofly be^watched the process. “Now advance alone, und open the ;box. -place/the pearls in­ side. Now, shut and Iock it-n Oberii- ently the duchess did as slie \yas bid: then she stood waiting for further In­ structions , r ... •. . But apparentlyT by this tinje the Great BroodlngVSpirit was; beginning to : take effect' Singing a monotonous, harsh chant the inijian knelt on the floor, and poured some, powder intb a little brazier. He was' still dose to the open, window, and finally he sat down with his-elbows on his knees, and his head rocking to'and fro-in his bands. “Less light—less light !’' The .words seemed to come from a great distance —ventriloquism In a mild , way was one of Lakington’s accomplishments} and as the lights went out a greenish, spluttering flame rose from the brazier. A heavy, odorous smoke filled the room, but framed and motionless In the eerie light sat the Indian, staring fixedly. In front of him. After a time the chant began again; it grew and swelled In volume till the ginger grew frenzied and beat his head with his hands. Then abruptly .it stepped. “Place the box upon the floor,” he ordered, “In the light of the- Sacred Fire.” Hugh saw the. duci^ss kneel, down on the opposite sl6a '*f the brazier, and place the box on the floor, while the faces of the guests—strange and ghostly In the great-light—peered like specters out of the heavy smoke. This' was Undoubtedly a show worth watching. “Open the box!” Harshly the words rang through thg silent room, and with fingers that trembled a little the duch­ ess turned the key and threw back the lid. v “Why, It’s empty!” she cried In amazement, and the guests craned for­ ward to look. “Put not your hand inside," cried the lndlan in sudden warning, “or per­ chance It will remain empty." The duchess rapidly withdrew her hand, and stared incredulously through the smoke at his impassive face. "Did I not say that there, was power in the box?” he said dreamily. “The power to render invisible—the power to render visible. Thus came pro* tection to the jewels of the Chow queens.” “That’s all right, Mr. Bam Dar,” said the diuchess a little apprehens­ ively. “There may be . power In the box,, but my pearls don’t seem to be.* The Indian- laughed. “None but you has touched the cab­ inet, your Grace; none but you'must touch it till the pearls return. They are there now; but not for mortal eyes to see.” Which, Incidentally,, was no more than the truth. “Look, oh! sahibs, look; but do not touch. Sees that to your vision the box is ,empty. . . .” He waited motion­ less, while the guests thronged round, with expressions of amazement; an£ Hugh, safe frdSh view in the thick, sweet-smelling smoke/ came even near, er in bis excitement ~ “It Is1 enough,” cried the IndSiiD suddenly. “ Sliut the box, your grace, and lock it as before. Now place it on the table whence it came. Is it. there?” “Yes." The duchess’ voice came out of ..the green fog. “Go not too near,” he ■ continued warningly. “Tlie. gods... must have space—the gods-must have space.” Again the harsh chant began, ot times swelling. to a shout at times, dying away to a whisper. And it was during one of these latter periods that a low IaUgh, instantly checked, dis­ turbed the room. It was plainly audi­ ble, and someone irritably said, “Be quiet!" It- was not repeated,- which afforded Hugh, at any rate, no surr prise. Fof it had been Irma Peterson who had laughed, and - it might have been hilarity, or it might have been a signal. “Bring the box, your grace," he cried harshly, and once more the duchess knelt in the circle of light, with a row of dimly seen faces above her.. “Open'; but as you value your pearl* —touch' them not.” .Excitedly she threw back the lid, and a' chorus of cries- greeted the appearance of the gold and silver tissue at the bottom of the box. “They’re here, Mr. Bam Dar.” In the green, light the Indian’s som­ ber eyes stared round the group of dim faces.

EMPRESS LOST HER AITCHES Eugenie’s Struggles With Unfamiliar English Must Have Been Amifting to Her Hearers. Dr. Ethel Smith, the well-known composer, who was for 80 years an Intimate friend of the late Empress Eugenie, tells the following amusing story concerning their first meeting: “The occasion I am speaking of, when I first came into personal con­ tact with her, was a meet of the har­ riers, which took place, at her special request, at Farnborough hall. She came out onto the gravel sweep in front of the house, and her manner was more gracious and winning than any manner I bad previously seen, as she bowed right and left to the awe­ struck field, saying repeatedly: “ ‘Put op'your ’ats; I pray you, put on your ‘ats.’ .“The master then was presented, and she really and truly did remark to him—as, If you come to think of It, she naturally would—‘I ’ope the ’ounds will flnd the 'are near the 'OuseZlt--ChlcagO American. a i__________ Average Life of Motor Cars. ^ A s'highway transportation develops and passenger cars and jtrUck become practically the sole '’means of road travel, the proportion of flrsf pur­ chasers of cars and trucks In the total of car sales will decrease, and the ^ demand for new cars each year wffl" become more' and- more nearly equal to the number of'care which drop out \ of service.

Washington.—Secretary Weeks an­ nounced that he would ask congress for authority to accept a proposal by Henry Ford for acquiring the govern­ ment nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, if the offer was found to be ‘'substantial." The proposal, which was transmitted by Secretary Hoover, was on his desk, Mr. Weeks said. . Mr. Ford offers to buy the nitrate plant, equipment and lands for $5,-. '000,000, and lease for 100 years the Wilson and No. 3 dam, when complete, at an annual obligation of $1,500,000. ■ He proposes to convert the works into a fertilizer plant, the profits of which would be limited to 8 per cent and to keep it in readiness for the manufac­ ture of explosives by the government in time of war. If acceptance of the ' offer is found advisable, Mr. Weeks said, he would ask congress for au­ thority to sell the plant and lease the dams and for an appropriation to complete the electrical installation on them. This work is estimated to cost $28,000,000 and on this sum Mr. Ford proposes to pay interest, at the rate of 6 per cent and to amortize the en­ tire cost of both dams. More Trouble in Mexico.

STAMP TAX ON EVERYTHING "Business and .Industries of Country Are Carrying Bulk of Load Which Should be Shared Generally.” Washington.—President Harding has made it clear to republican leaders in Congress, that he wants a tax program adopted which will lift restraint from business initiative. While the tax program is in embryo condition, certain fundamentals are practically agreed upon. For instance, imagining that, with repeal of the excess profits tax, the government would be obliged to increase materially the corporation taxes. The aim of the Harding administration, however, is to avoid any increase of eorporatibn taxes, if possible, and only to impose a slight addition, if necessary. The repeal of the excess profit tax is a foregone conclusion, and it is certain that the next revenue bill will not at­ tempt to make the business and indus­ tries of the country carry the bulk of the load. Instead, the tax burden will be more evenly distributed by the use of every sort of stamp tax. The three- cent letter postage may come back, and it seems assured that revenue stamps will be necessary on practical­ ly every kind of business transactions.

" , ' “Ford business for April, and May 1921 was greater by 56^633 cars and trucks than for the same two months 1920; in fact,-the demand has been even greater than the supply, so tliat our output has been limited, not by unfilled orders,1 but by manufacturing facilities.

I On au advance market cotton ! willbnug 2 Vz to 11 cents per \ pound One bale in every 500, I I am told, grades up to the 11-cent I standard. You pay at any cloth- I jer’s Si 50 per pound for cotton i beeches by the pair or piece. None I 0f our colleges could run a session I without endowment, yet every man I ffho sends his hoy a year to any of I these institutions sacrifices 20 bales of Ioiv middling cotton. plow points sell for 9 cents per pound single, or by the dozen, as you prefer. After you have worn the uew off you can sell them back to the foundry for 15 cents per cwt. to be made into more points, to be sold at 9 cents per pound. Beef sells for 5 cents on foot. The butchers say they could pay more for the live carcass but for the fact that hides are too low to ptv the expense of butchering. Still enough leather to half-sole your plough shoes costs you 60 cents. My lachrymal organs collapse when I think of the man who car­ ried a calf-hide to Raleigh, paid a quarter to put his mule up at a “tie in” stable and while he was negotiating a sale of the hide at 20 cents someone stole his hame- struig. He had to take the nickel his wife gave him to. get the child­ ren some candy and buy' another stnngfor 25 cents.' But .why -wor,- ry? The mule had a new tie and no doubt was proud of it. Freight rates are so exorbitant that some predict that this season’s shipping of melons will have to be fed to the hogs. Things too num; erous to mention are holding on with a tenacious grip to wartjme ■prices, while others are having to go at one-fourth to one-half cost of production. A modern Jacobasked with seem­ ing sincerity if there was no hell where had business gone. I would liketo take that lost shoep of the house of Israel by the hand and ad­ monish him to give himself no more concern along that score . for un­ doubtedly there is a hell. In. the language of the amateur debater, I declare most emphatically there is a hell. An all-wise and just Creator could not have fixed it otherwise without doing violence to His at tributes. I know the above argument-is al­ together conclusive and convincing hence there wiil be no more doubt in the mind of anyone who may chance to read it, as to the certain­ ty of a future plaqe of eternal pun­ ishment. ■ ‘Wish you would jump on so and so about such and such a thing” is a general way of putting an ex­ pression with which everv editor is fetniliar. Oftenwewonderifthere is a newspaper anywhere that goes very long without hearing it.' Some folks think that if their neighbor’s chickens bother them or if the cook hasn’t shown up some morn­ ing the proper place to register a kick is through the columns of the newspaper. There are many . ommunity com­ plaints which need to be mentioned in the local newspaper. Many prob­ lems which properly belong to tlie town as a whole should be discussed through the paper, which, is in very truth a public servant, ready and willing at all times, if it is the right kind of a newspaper, to stand for what is light and for the best in­ terests of the community. The point we would make, how­ ever, is that some of the complaints that are registered in a newspaper office could often be remedied with­ out gping into print. Often folks come to the newspaper with fault­ finding of the town authorities when they could have the correc­ tion made if they would take the trouble to talk to the proper official about the matter. A newspaper should not degene­ rate into a nagging institution, al­ ways complaining of little things here and there that might be cor­ rected by other means, says The Morganton News-Herald. Courting Over .Tbe Telephone. The Monroe Enquirer says there “Extravagantes Joannis.” Gossip is a humming bird with eagle wings and a voice like a fog born. Itcanbeheard from Dan to Beersheba, and has caused more trouble than all the ticks, fleas,’ Mosquitos, coyotes, grasshoppers chinch bugs, rattlesnakes, sharks, eIclonesl earthquakes, blizzards, smallpox, yellow fever, gout and todigestion than all the United States has known or will know 'vheu the universe shuts up and begins the final invoice. In other "orcIs1 it has got .. war and .hell Packed uo m a corner and yelling for ice water Almost anybody has plenty of courage when he starts into, a fight at the kind of courage that counts to the long run in that which, after Iou have been knocked down and . e“ten, causes you to go into trait- lng and put yourself in condition to vv 1P the man or the influence that vrUipped you. “Boys And Bacon.” Mr. Editor:—”1 am more concern­ ed about boys than bacon.” So are the most of us, but bacon is almost a necessity on the working man’s ta­ ble. 2., “I love culture more than cab­ bage, and value citizens more highly than cash.” It-, depends upon tl e kind of culture, and the kinds ol citizens. There jare some very un­ desirable kinds of citizens , running, at large at present. I prefer the hard working, law-abiding 'citizen, poor though he may be, to the culti - vated idler ant} thief who would take from the poor man his last mess oi cabbage. 3. ‘ Intelligence is preferable to ignorance.” No. question about that, if the intelligence is properly, direct­ ed. .Intelligence 'that leads away from work, seeking only-easy, high- priced jobs. has much to do with present conditions, and is one of the damaging results of a misdirected educational system. 4th. “Liberty is better than li­ cense*” It is,, if.,of the right kind. Liberty, when used to . oppress the poor;, and live and feast upon the unfortunate, becomes a tyranny. 5 . “Manhood means more than money.” It used to be, but today s man without pioney is a very small potato and a , very undesirable citi­ zen, and in the estimation of many people is regarded as almost a no body—especial’y when the collection plate is passed around. 6. “Property involves more than money;” Money is property, and it takes money or its equivilent to get the other kind, and if one thinks otherwise, that money is not proper­ ty, wait until the sheriff comes a round for his taxes and if you haven’t the’money see if he don’t sell your other property. • way who, when they get hold of a telephone receiver -and can get a girl on the other end of the wire, hold on and on like a baby to an all-day’ ’ candy sucker, and no matter who wants to get the line or no matter how badly it is need­ ed for business purposes the one who wants it is told time and again line’s busy*.” .The wnter has been cognizant of this condition for sometime and he just can’t refrain from rejoicing over the fact that somebody else has found it out and that these telephone “spooners” are receiving publicity of the above' •given nature. It always appeared to us that telephone courting would necessarily be mighty unsatisfac­ tory business. It may be all right for a young gent and a young las­ sie who just can’t help it to lean,up to each other like a sick kitten to a hot brick, but when they begin an “all-day” ,sucker stunt over,, the telephone to the interruption and demoralization of business transac­ tions it is time for somebody to call a halt. Here’s hoping that the Marshville sports may either find time and,-transportation facilities to carry them to the object of their love and affections, where they can get in some close range courtin, and leave the telephone route for tran­ saction of business or, as Jeffwould say, use discretion in the length of time consumed in their long-dis tance-love-spitting. No need to go ’ all - the way to Marshville to find the couples who court over the telephone. Some of our love-sick swains around here hang on to the telephone same as Grant once hung, around Rich­ mond. But what’s the use to ask them to cut it out. Just as well ask the fish in the Yadkin nvei to bite or wade out where you can catch them with your hands. Listen At Bill, • We are not interested in- beer and wine as medicines/ Our local druggists ,would not handle the stuff if they were allowed to and we get sick so seldom it would be tqo long between drinks, says Bill Montgomery sell what thou hast and give‘to the poor, and come follow Me,” is a Bi­ ble command, but how many are do­ ing it? Instead of observing the biblical command, the rich are striv­ ing for more riches; the tears of the widow and the cries of the orphans are little heeded Bv the money grabbers. 8.1 “Souls are superior to stom­ achs.” But a hopeful soul gets poor and unsatisfying consolation from an empty stomaehe. “Truth outweighs taxes.” But it takes money to'Tift the mortgage held by the bank and the sheriff .

We are. sowing. Wbat are we sowing, and who knows what the ultimate harvest wiil be? Russia to­ day is reaping the bitter fruit sown by an autocratic ruling power.- To my mind we are drifting more and more from the true principles enun­ ciated-by the founders of this: great Republic, who laid the -foundations for a free and liberty-loving- people. Is liberty and freedom destined to perish as did.that, of ancient Rome and-Greece? llA little learning is a dangerous thing,” especially the kind our children are beings taright today/ I had rather -see the young boys and girls taught a higher con cept of-morality,, rightTiving and thinking; and be - useful; 'honorable -citizens of the State, with-- high ideals, and taught that right , living is more to . be . desired - than ; great riches, and all the fame that pomp arid power can bestow upon them, than to have them taught as they are.now; -being taught, to believe that the winning of place and the accumulation of dollars is the only way leading to fame, power and mccess-in this life. . “As a man and, a woman thinketh, so is he or she.” We iriust riot adopt the old woman’s admonition to her son when he.start ed out in life: “My son, make nhon- ev; -Makeit honestly if you can, but if you cannot make, it honestly —make money.” “ 'Twas somethine, ’twas nothing,’twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands; who steals my purse, steals trash, but he who filches from me my good name, robs me of that which not enriches him, but leaves me poor indeed ” want some of the wise-acres who are advocating continuously .more bonds and taxes, higher wages and salaries for everybody, especially those who are paid out of the. peo­ ple’s tdxes,. to please tell us how the farmers are going - into the market and hire labor at like price and be able to live and produce sufficient supplies of.bread and other food to supply our growing wants. It’s an impossibility for the farmers to make a living and pay the prices expected of him for labor. Few farms would meet the expense of operation. Tell why salaries raised during the high and ipflated prices should not ,come down to meet the reduction in other prices and the.cost of living? With everything the farmer raises declin­ ing in price, taxes and bonds being piled upon him,-why should those in authority continue to increase. the salarias of those paid out of our tax monies., If you ask the farmer to reduce the price of his, products to the consumer, why not try and re­ lease a part of the burden placid uponijiim?; This is a question con frbriting us; arid-ri solution is going to be required. The' farmer isv no fool. He is not half as ignorant as sopie may think he is. There is a reckoning ahead. ; E. H. MORRIS. Why Not HaVe Our Highways Lined With Trees. This country is several hundred years ahead of France in many par- ticuls, but when it cames to good roads the French can teach us many things. One of the things that im pressed the American in Francej most was the avenue of trees used on all of the important roads in Frrnce, and the numerous plainly printed mite posts .that .made- travel in all parts of that country easy even to a stranger. This State is going to spend $50.- 000:090 for good roods. Our roads will be as fine as any State’s of coun try’s but would they be better, pret­ tier and more impressive if they were flanked on either side by rows, of huge, immense trees? - When the roads of this state are being built not let the trees be planted? It will be many years of course, before the trees reach a point where they will add beauty or pleasure to travel over the roads, but that time will come, and we. believe that once the ■ idea is started/ every State in the Union will follow. : The state will prove mils post for the new roads, and if we understand the law: correctly, only the official sign post will be allowed. That is right.' Already-thousands of tourists are riding over our State; Jthe num­ ber 1Will be.increased with permanent roads, and nnthing is a greater help to a tourist-than a sign post that really signs. The state shouln erect steel or iron posts while erecting the the new system, and then weather, hunter’s guns and other circums tances will not eliminate the signs within a y ear or two —Concord Times , MinorMusiDgs.

Everybody - has troubles, and everybody thinks their troubles are greater than;. the other fellow’s. But why worry—smile.- Some mighty good folks can say some mighty mean things about their neighbors and friends, when they get out to campaigning.

Harmony visited tiThe lattle Country SchooI Honse OnTheBFV* Mr, Editor.--—In the language of the lamented martyr president Gar­ field, in a speech in Washington city soon after- President Lincoln was-assasinated, he said; “Justice and Mercy are the hibitatiop of his thione, God reigns and the govern­ ment, at Washington still lives.’’ The sovereign of Mocksville town­ ship have • spoken, and.- the little bosses, grafters and parasites are trembling in their boots. “By the eternal” as old Andrew Jackson was wont to say, we are going to preserve, protest and perpetuate the "little country school, house, with its civic center, with its hallow past,- with its present good, and its future great usefulness. The tenderest and sweetest memories and ties are entwined about the sacred spot ever kept alive by the memories of the dear boys and girls with whom thousands of we country townsmen and country townswomen grew up and mingled with in and around that old log school house back yonder at or near the homes of our child­ hood. Destroy them! Never, ten thousand times you shall , not. Put not your polluted and defiled hands upon those sacred landmarks of our childhood. In the language of that grand old main Marshall Joffre at the Marne “you shall not pass.” Country men and. country women, • we country ' townspeople are going to help you preserve the little country churches and little country school house, lor the great good thej' have accomplished in the past, and the great good they are now doing for the glorious fu­ ture just ahead of them,, 'in their improved successors. The battle has just begun, don’t lay aside your armor and organizations, buckle a- bout you your armor a little tighter* and above all keep “your powder dry.” The next command vvill be, turn about face! hep, hep; hep; forward mach on to Raleigh to an attact upon the chief citadel of;; en- tenched and centrailized . power, which step by step is stealing from you the last vestige of local self- government, and placing-it in hands of self-constituted-bosses,'to use for their own personal benefit. I am 60 years old, I . have thrown down the ,gage: of battle-let him who will take it up; all the remain­ ing years of my. life, all that I can give you of voice, brain and pen, is at your service. Call on me when you need me, and -if possible, “I’ll be there.”. Don’t- cheer old boys, don’t cheer old girls, they'are dying, they are dying, and .it's a hard painful death, the last rites and obsequies will be held when we have driven the money , changers from the temple, and saved your hard-earned heritage to you and to your children and your' children’s children. Your country school houses and churches are safe at least for the present, -but don’t for­ get “that -the price of !liberty is eternal vigilance.” E. H. MORRIS. ..... Mr, and Mrs1- J: C.*Barnhart.

"Did I Not Say ThatThere Was Power in the Box?” He Said Dreamily. ing for the car. As it was he was only a second or two. In front of .the other, and the last- vision he had through a break m the trees, before they were spinning smoothly down the deserted road, was an open window In Laidler Towers from which dense volumes of vapor poured: steadily out. Of the house party behind, waiting for the light to bum low In the brazier, he could see no sign through the opaque wall of green fog. * It took five minutes, so he gathered afterward from a member of the house party, before the light had burned suf­ ficiently low for the duchess to con­ sider it safe to touch the pearls. In various stages of- asphyxiation the assembled guests had peered at the box, while the cynical comments of the men were rightly treated by the ladies with the contempt, they, de­ served. IVas the necklace not there, wrapped m its gold and silver tissue, where a few minutes before there had been nothing? ‘Some trick of that beastly light,”, remarked the duke peevishly. “For heaven s sake throw the dam’ thing out of the window.” ‘Don t be a fool, John,” retorted bis spouse. “If you could do this sort of thing, the house of lords might be some use to somebody.” IVhen two minutes later they stared horror-struck at a row of ordinary marbles laboriously unwrapped from 51 piece of gold and silver tissue, the take s pungent agreement 'with his wifes sentiment passed' uncontra- fl'cted. In fact, it is to be understood that over the scene which followed, it Was best to draw a decent veil. THREE. Drummond, hunched low over the wheel, in his endeavor to conceal.his ltantity from the man behind, knew nothms of that at the time. And Lak- 1Igton was far too busy to bother with the chauffeur. One snarling curse as they had started, for not having done as he had been told, was the total of their con­ versation during the trip; .'During the rest of the time the transformation to the normal kept Lakington busy, and Bhgh could see him reflected in the windscreen removing the make-up worn his face, and Changing his eiothes. Ecen now he was not -quite dear ,,0W the trick had been worked. That “ ere had been two cabinets, that was oiear—one faIsei t!le otber the real Jta That they had been changed'at “ e ciucial moment'by the1 girl Irma' as also obvious. But "Bow had’the taarls disappeared in the first case, p tl‘111 apparently reappeared again? or "no thing he was quite certain. baicM.v was inside the parcel of J10 u -11,1 silver tissue which, for all e m.c,\, they might be still staring ■Ilt1''0' llc,t the historic necklace., j.. ! llO was still puzzling it over In i....id .VilOH Uie car swung into the 1V: in The Kims. t ll UinC the wheels I as usual,1 a d Lakinifton as. he sot out aqd Hugh bent forward to conceal his face. “Then- -report - to ine -in - the' central room.” And out ■ of the- comer -of his eye Hugh watched.. him enter -the house with the Chinese cabinet clasped In his hand. . ; ‘Toby,” he remarked’to that worthy, whom he found mournfully eating a ham sandwich In the garage, “Let’s go on the roof.” - Silently they both climbed the lad­ der which had been placed in readi­ ness, to- fin,d Peter Darrell and the American detective already In posi­ tion; , A brilliant - light streamed out through the glass dome, and the in­ side of-the'Central room was clearly visible; In: the - three chairs sat the motionless, bound figures so swathed in rope that only the tops of their heads were visible, just as Lakington had-left him and Toby and Algy earli­ er Iti the evening. The only moving thing- In. the room was the criminal himself, and a t the moment he was seated at the table with the Chinese cabinet In front of him. With a quick turn of his -wrist he pried'open two flaps of wood, and folded them back against the side. Then he lifted out a parcel of gold and silver tissue from underneath. “Sly hat!" muttered Hugh, “what a fool I-was not.to think of it! Just a false bottom actuated by closing the lid ” But the American, whistling ’ gently to himself, had his eyes fixed on the rope of wonderful pearls which Lak- ingtort was holding lovingly In his hands. So easy, you scum,” continued Lak- ington, “and you thought to pit your­ selves against me”-—he rose and stood in front of the chair where he had last left Drummond. . “That , fool of a chauffeur failed to carry oiit my or­ ders, and create a diversion. Yon will see what happens to people who fall'to carry Out my orders, in a min­ ute. And after that' you’ll never see anything again.” ■ “Say, he’s a dream—that guy,” mut­ tered the American. “W hat pearls are those he’s got?” ‘The duchess of Lampshire’s,” whis­ pered Hugh. “Lifted right under the nose of the whole bally house party.” The four watchers on the roof glued their eyes to the glass. And the sight they saw a moment or. two' afterward stirred even the phlegmatic Mr. Green. A heavy door was swinging slowly, open, apparently of its own volition, though Hugh, stealing a quick; glance at Laklngton, saw that he was press­ ing some small studs in a niche’ In one : of the walls. Then he looked back at the door, and stared dum- founded. It was the mysterious cup­ board of which Phyllis had spoken to him, but nothing he had ImaglneiTfroin her words had prepared him for the reality. It seemed to be literally cram­ med to overflowing with the most priceless loot Gold vessels of fantas­ tic' and, beautiful shapes littered the floor; while on the'shelves were ar­ ranged the most wonderful collection of precious-stones; which shone arid scintillated In the electric light till their, glitter almost blinded the watchers. The pearls were carefully placed in a position of honor, and for a few moments L Laklngton stood gloating over his collection. “Do you see them, Captain Drum­ mond?” he asked quietly. “Bach thing obtained by my brain—my hands. All mine—mine!” His voice rose to a shout. “And you pit your pnny wits a’gainst me.” With a laugh he crossed the room, and once more pressed the studs. The door swung slowly to and closed without a sound, while Laklng­ ton: lStill shook with silent m irth; ‘And1 now”—he resumed, rubbing his hapds—“we -will prepare your bath, Captain Drummond. And'while it Js getting ready, we will just deal with th e' Chauffeur' who neglected: his or­ ders." For a few minutes he bent, over the chemicals, and then he poured the mixture into the water which half filled the long bath at the end of the room. “About five minutes before we’re quite* ready,”, he announced, “Just time for thfe chauffeur.” - He went to a speaking-tube, down which he blew. Somewhat naturally there: was- no answer; and Lakington frowned.'' ...... : “A stupid fellow,? he remarked soft­ ly. “But there is no huiry; I will deal with him later.” Lakirigtori ‘ ‘returned: to the ■ chair which contained, as he thought, his chief enemy, and was standing beside it- w ith’-an unholy joy shining on his fade;- '"........' " • “And since I have to deal with him later, Captain Drummond, D. S. O., M. C., I may as well deal with you now! Then It will be your friends’ turn: I am going to cut the ropqs, and carry you,vWhile you’re so numbed that you 'can’t move, to the bath. Then I shall drop yob 'in, Captain Drum­ mond, and when, afterward, you pray for death, I shall mercifully spare your life—for a while,” He slashed at the ropes behind the chair, and the four men craned for­ ward expectantly. “There,” snarled Laklngton, Tm ready for you. 'you young swine.” . And even, asi.he-spoke, the- words, died away on- his lips;? and -with a? dreadful • cry : he sprang. back. For with a dull, heavy thud the body of the dead German Heinrich rolled off the; chair and- Sprawled: at -his: feet; “My God !’’.' screamed :' Lakington. “W hat,has. happened? I—I—” He rushed' to the: bell arid pealed It frantically, and with' a SfflUe of joy Hugh watched his frenzied terror. No one came in. answer.to the ring, and Laklngton dashed to the door, only to recoil into the room with , a choking noise In his: throat. Outside In the hall, stood four masked men; each with a revolver pointing, at .his'heart. : “My cue;” muttered ■ Hugh. . “And you understand, fellows, don’t, you?— he’s my meat." • The next moment he had disap­ peared 'down the ladder, and the' three, remaining watchers stared motionless at the grim scene. For Lakington had shut the door and was crouching by the table, his nerve utterly gone. And all the while the puffed, bloated body of the German - sprawled on the floor. . . . Slowly the door into the hall opened, and with a scream of fear - Lakington sprang back. Standing in the door­ way w as1 Hugh Drmpmond, and his face was grim and- merciless. “You' sent for your chauffeur, Henry Lakington,” he remarked quietly. “I am here.” “What , do you' mean?" muttered Lakington thickly. “1. drove you back from Laidley Towers tonight,” said - Hugh with a slight smile. ‘The proper man was foolish and had to be killed.” He ad­ vanced a few'steps Into the room, and' the other shrank back. '“ You look frightened, Henry. Can it be that' the Voung- SWhie1S wits are, after all, better than yours?” - "W hat do you want?" gasped Lak- ingtori; through dry lips. “I want you, Henry—Just you. Hitherto you’ve always used gangs of your ruffians against me. Now my gang occupies this house. But Tm not going to use them. It’s going to ' be just—you and I. Stand up, Henry; stand up—as I have always stood up to you.” He crossed the rootn and stood in front of the cowering man. “Take half—take half,” he screamed. lTVe got treasure—I’ve . . .” And Drummond hit him a fearful blow on ■ the mouth.' “I shall take all, Henry, to return to their rightful owners. Boys”—he raised his voice—“carry out these other two, and undo them.” ' The four' masked men came in, and carried out the two chairs. . ‘The intimidated rabbit, Henry, and the kindly gentleman you put to guard Miss Benton,” he remarked as the' door closed. “So now we may regard ourselves as: being alone.. Just you and I. And. one of us, Lakington— you devil In. human form—is going in­ to 'that bath,” ^ “But the bath means death,” shrieked Lakington—“death In agony.” “That will be unfortunate for the one who goes in,” said Drummond, taking a step toward him. ■ “You would murder ine?” half sobbed the terrified man. .... ■ “No, Lakington;.. I’m not going to murder you.” A gleain Of hope came into the. other’s eyes. “But I’m going to fight you In order to decide which Being Forced Farther Jarfll Farther, Ovdr the Liquid. Of us two ceases to adorn the -earth; that is, If your diagnosis, of the con­ tents of the bath - is correct What little gleam of pity I 'might have pos­ sessed for you has been completely ex­ tinguished by your present exhibition bf nauseating cowardice. Fight, you worm,- light; or Tll throw.you- Ini”’ i' And Laklngton fought. The sudden complete turning of Ihe tables ,had fori ttipimoinent -destroyed hiWrie^reiinoW1,: at Drummond’s words, he recovered' himself. There was" no mercy-on the soldier’s face,- and in his inmost heart Lakington knew that the end had come. For strong and wiry though he was, he was no match for the other. Belentlessly he . felt himself being forced toward the deadly liquid he had prepared for- Drummond,-and as the irony - of the thing struck - him, the - sweat broke out on his forehead and bp cursed aloud.. At last he backed in­ to the edge of the ,bath and bis strug­ gles redoubled. But still -there, was ho mercy on the soldier’s face, and he- felt himself being forced farther and farther over, the liquid until he was only held from falling into It by-Drum­ mond's-grip on his-throat , Then, just.b.efore the grip relaxed and he went under, the soldier spoke ce: “Henry lakington,"- he said, “the retribution is ju st” Drummond sprang back, and the liquid closed-over the wretched man’s head. But only "for a second. With a - dreadful cry Lakington- leaped out and even Drummond felt a momentary qualm of pity. For the criminal’s clothes were already burnt-through to the skin, and his face—or what was left of it—was a shining copper color. Mad with agony, he dashed to the door, and flung it open. The-four men out­ side, aghast' at the spectacle, recoiled and, let him through. And the kindly mercy which Lakington had' never shown to any one in' bis life, was given to. him at the last Blindly he groped his way up the stairs, and. as DrummOnd got to the door the end came. Some one must have put in gear the machinery, which worked on the fifth step, or perhaps it was automatic. For suddenly a heavy steel weight revolving on an arm whizzed out from the wall,and struck Lakington behind the neck. Without a sound he fell forward, and-, the weight, unchecked, clanged ■ suddenly home.' And thus did the invention.of which he was proudest break the In­ ventor’s own neck. Truly, the retribu­ tion was just. . . . “That only leaves Peterson,” re­ marked the American, coming into the hall at that moment, and lighting a cigar. “That only leaves Peterson,” agreed Drummond. “And the girl,” he added as an afterthought. CHAPTER XII. .. v In Which the Last Round Takes Place. ONE. It was during the next hour or two that the full value of Mr. Jerome K. Green as an acquisition to the party became apparent, Certain other prep­ arations in honor of Peterson’s arrival were -drily carried out, and then arose the question of the safe in which the all-important ledger was kept. “There it is,” said Drummond, point­ ing to a heavy steel door flush with the wall, on the opposite side of the room to the big one containing Lakirigton's ill-gotten treasure. “And it doesn’t seem to me that you’re going to open that one by pressing ariy buttons In the wall.” '" : : - “Then; Captain,” drawled the Amer-' lean, “I guess we’ll open it otherwise. It’s sure plumb easy. I’ve been get­ ting gay with some of the household effects, and this Iqar of soap sort of caught my eye.” . From his pocket he produced some ordinary yelloW soap, and . the Others glanced at him curiously. - “I’il just give you a little demonstra­ tion,” he continued, “of how our swell cracksmen' oiver the water open safes when the owners have been so tactless as -to remove the keys.” . s ■ Dexterously he proceeded to seal-up every crack In the safe door with the. soap, leaving a small gap at the- top unsealed. Then round that gap he built what was to-all intents and pur­ poses a soap dam.- “If any of you boys,” he remarked to the intent group around hiffi,. “think of taking this up as a' means of liveli­ hood, be careful of this stuff.” From another pocket he produced an india- rubber bottle. “Don't drop it on the floor unless you want to be measured for your coffin.- There’ll just be a boot and some bits to bury.” :. The group faded away, and the American laughed; ■ ". _ ' “MightT ask what,it is?” murmured Hugh politely from the neighborhood of the door. \ “Sure thing, Captain," returned the detective, carefully pouring1 some of the liquid into the soap dam. • “That is- what I told you " d got—gelignite; or, as the boys, cail it, the oil. It runs right round the cracks of the door in­ side the.spap.” He added a little more, and carefully replaced .the stopper. “Now, a detonator and a bit of fuse, and I guess we’ll leave the room.” “It reminds one of those dreadful barbarians, the sappers, trying to blow up things,” remarked Toby, stepping ,with some agility into the garden; and- a moment or two later the American joined them. “It may be necessary to do it again,” he announced, and as he spoke. the sound ; of a dull explosion- came frpm Inside the house. “Oh the other hand; be. continued, going back into the room and quietly pulling the,safe.door open, “it may not . There's your book. Cap tain.” . ■ '. He calmly relit his- cigar, as if safe opening was the most normal under­ taking, and Drummond lifted out the heavy ledger and placed It on thei ta- bla .- ■;■/. 1 “Go out in relays,; boys,” he said to the group ofi men by the door, "and- get your breakfasts. Pm going to. be busy-for a b it” , He sat down at the table; and began to , turn the pages. The American was amusing himself with the faked Chi­ nese cabinet; Toby.and Peter sprawled In two chairs, unashamedly snoring And after a while the detective put down the cabinet and, coming over, sat at Drummond’s side. Every page, contained an entry— sometimes half a dozen—of the same type, and as the immensity .of. the project dawned on the two men their faces grew serious. “I told you he was a big man, Cap tain,” remarked the American, leaning back In his chair and looking at the open book, through half-closed eyes. “One can only hope to Heaven that we're in time," returned Hugh. “D—n it, man,” he exploded, “surely the po­ lice must know of this I” The American closed his eyes still more. ,. “Your English police know most things,” be drawled, “but you’ve sort of got some peculiar laws In your country. With us, if we don’t like a “What's He Getting. Four Payments of a Thousand. Pounds For?” man—something happens. He kind o' ceases to sit up and take nourishment. But over here, the more scurrilous he is,- the more he talks bloodshed :and riot, the more constables does he get to guard him from catching cold. The soldier frowned. “Look at this entry here,” he granted. “That blighter is a member of parlia­ ment. What’s be getting four payments of a. thousand pounds for?” - ’,‘Why, surely to buy some nice warm underclothes-with,” grinned the detec­ tive.- Then he leaned forward and glanced at the name. “But jsn’t he some pot In one Of your big trade unions?” ; “Heaven knows,” grunted Hugh. “I only saw the blighter once, and then his shirt was dirty.” He turned over a few more pages thoughtfully. “Why, if these are the sums of money Peter­ son has blown, the man must have spent a fortune. Two thousand pounds to Iyolsky. Incidentally, that’s the bloke who had words, with the whatnot on the stairs.” ' - , In silence they continued their study of the book: The whole of England and Scotland had been split up into districts, regulated by population rather than area, and each district ap peered to be in charge Of one. director. A varying number of sub-Olstrl'cts In every main division had each their sub- director and staff, and at some of the names Drummond rubbed his eyes .In amazement. Briefly, the duties of every man, were outlined; the locality In whiCh his work lay. hlu exact responsi­ bilities, so that overlapping was re­ duced to a minimum. Tn eaCh case the staff was small, the work largely that of organization: But in each .district there appeared ten or a . dozen names of men who were euphemistically de- SCriCed as lecturers; while a t the end of the book there appeared nearly fifty names—both of men. and women—-who were proudly denoted as first-class lec­ turers. And if Drummond had robbed his eyes at some-of the names on tbc' organizing staffs, the first-class general lecturers deprived him of speech. . (TO BE CONTINUED.)

TE Acute National Shortage of Housing Ascribed to Practically Prohibitive - \ Cost of Construction. New Y orfc-H alf a billion dollars !a year in wages is being lost in the building industry through .unemploy­ ment, declared a report made public, by the committee on elimination of waste in industry of the American En­ gineering Council. The committee, appointed by Her­ bert Hoover when he was president of the council, asserted lack of work was the outstanding fact in this indus­ try, whose critical condition is at­ tributed primarily to high costs of construction. ' The report said that waste was causing huge losses in ' building which, tssluding all trades and com­ mon labor, ranked second among, in­ dustries and contributed more than $3,000,000,000 yearly to the wealth of the nation.. The annual economic loss due to ac­ cidents was estimated at high as $120,000,000. • An acute national shortage of hous­ ing exists, the report stated, because of, prohibitive construction costs to householder and banker. p F F S E W PIiSLIC STORIES 8eoretary Hughes Powerless to ’ QCaI With League Because of Position of President and Seiiato1 „ A Divorce at Age of 91.

Washington, t- The ,United States, government-is not-intentionally'ignor­ ing communications from the -league of nations and has not failed* to note the invitation to this government tip become a member of the world court of international'justice, created by the league. This attitude was made known at' the department of state, to offset-the public'-stories giving the impression that the United 'States was somehow offending the* league of nations by re­ fusing to deal with its letters and com­ munications. In the first place, the permanent secretary of the league has been sending out printed circulars to various governments of the world and it was but natural that one of the gov­ ernment bureaus filed the circulars without regarding them In the same light as formal communications. But what the secretary of the league of nations-hasn’t evidently taken into consideration is that while all commu­ nications are duly received an4 filed Secretary Hughes is powerless to deal with the league because of the ex­ pressed desire of the President of' the United States that America stay out of the ieague and the evident con­ currence of the senate in that view­ point.

IIO SIDETRACK FOR-SENATE President Filids Himself In Awkward Situation of Again Pointing Out to Congress Former Advice. Washington. — Fresidmit - Harding may have to take another trip to the capitol or in some other way apply the brakes to the tendency of Congress to appropriate for new .purposes all the money that has been saved. The Senate is in a snarl, again. Al­ though Mr. Harding pleaded with his former colleagues to sidetrack not only the bonus but other legislation except­ ing the tariff and taxation, the bill pro­ viding $1,000,000 to finance farm ex­ ports now is up for consideration. It means, if passed, a spending of exactly the amount which C .G..Dawes, direc- to of the budget announces has been saved. In other words, just as fast as a saving is accomplished at one end of the national, capital, means of spend­ ing an equivalent amount are found at the other end. And on top of if all the new shipping board finds it necessary to ask for $300,000,000 to salvage the wreck on its hands. Thus the Presi­ dent finds himself In an awkward sit­ uation of appealing to Congress di­ rectly or indirectly to concentrate on the tax program and- let alone other matters. 1 Reforestration In the South.

(Prepared by the United States Depart­ment of Agriculture.) “The American farmer is not going to be able this year to pay freight on water,” said a department official. “W ater makes up * large part of fresh fruits and vegetables. The answer is that lie must grow his own table food. He must also study the possibilities of substitution. This applies to vegeta­ bles, fruits, poultry, eggs and dairy products which must be transferred from commercial channels to home consumption if they are to come with­ in the reach of the average farmer's family. Peculiar Condition Created. “Specialized farming has created conditions of which comparatively few persons are aware. The grain farmer in many instances buys even his pota­ toes and green vegetables; the fruit farmer buys his dairy products; and even the man who raises milk for creamery, condensary or cheese fac­ tory is likely to send his cream or milk away, feed the skiin milk or whey to the calves, and not make his own butter. K its year, just as far as pos­ sible for him to alter his system in a single season, the department offi­ cials advise that he get back to the old plan which was aptly described as tIlving at home.’ This means not so much remaining on the farm as it does deriving every practicable prod­ uct for consumption from the farm. "The average American fanner knows how to raise other crops than those on which he specializes, but it has seemed good- business, or at least expedient, to devote his' energies to very few or even a single cash crop and buy his necessities, just as is done in other specialized industries. The'grain fanner is perfectly capable of raising his own potatoes, his green garden stuff, and melons, tomatoes and other garden fruits, to take the place of orchard fruits which In many parts of the country have been killed by the late freezes. If the farmer has a piece of really good garden ground he Can add materially to the variety and Wholesomeness1 of the farm food supply with scarcely any expenditure except for seeds, and seeds, fortunate­ ly, are lower this spring than for sev­ eral years. Poultry Most Important Meat Supply. “The same may be said of poultry. With Ute increased freight rates this year, the general farmer’s principal aW ? ! ' ^ - i The Gardsn Is a Good Source of Home-Grown Food. meat supply will come out of his poul­ try yard, either to eggs or in table dilekens and other fowls. Poultry is the quickest meat supply to produce, and the farmer will do well to build up a small flock, as rapidly as possible. The increased freight rates on bat­ ter and eggs, together with the Jarm money shortage.due to the disappoint­ ing returns from last year’s crops; will make it advisable for many farmers’ wives to return to the butter-making arts which they learned as' girls from their mothers and which have been largely discontinued as farmers be­ came specialists. 1 “Fruit is likely to. be scarce In large and important farming regions, but its place can largely be taken by . vegeta­ ble products. Two things are clear. In the first place,, the average farmier, as it stands now, cannot afford to pay freight on the w ater which makes up the; larger part of both fresh . and canned' vegetables and fruits. In; the second place, under .existing: conditions he can raise those .things cheaper, him­ self ttiari he can buy them, and lie can make many, substitutes out ■ o f■ .the. garden a id poultry* yard If he sets out to do It. He has the material for the crops, while he is short of inoney. 'Xt is not gotfd business to run in debt except, for essentials .of production.” The Department of Agriculture ,will be glad* to give information and *d- ’ vice to., those who wish to diversify' their home-grown food supply. • Basie of T Acre to 25 Animals Is More Satisfaetoiy -ThlSn Seeding Larger Areas—Smaller Lota Are Convenient. (Prepared by the Hslled Btates Depart­ment of Agriculture.) For health'and for economical use of the pasturage It is undesirable to sp sheep on the same ground more than" from ten to fourteen days, say specialists of the ITnlted States De- partinent of Agriculture, discussing the question- of raising sheep On tem­ porary pastures. The most generally i n o Sheep Are Valuable Weed Destroyers and Will Keep Fence Rows, Road- ways.and Waste Places Clean. \ useful size of lot is one acre to 25 sheep. This area, on an average, fur­ nished in experiments 14 days’ feed. Arranging the size of lots on the basis of one acre-.to 25 sheep Is more satisfactory than seeding larger areas and using hurdles to permit advance to fresh feed each day. Less labor Is necessary, and by going to entirely new ground after ten or twelve days the danger of picking up parasite larvae on ground grazed over earlier is prevented. With a one-acre lot for 25 ewes, or correspondingly larger ones for larger -flocks, it is an added advantage if their length is two or three tim es'the breadth. With a heavy crop of forage that would last longer than was considered safe to hold the flock on the same ground, a short piece of cross fence can readily be put down to divide the pasture into two parts. The smaller lots are also convenient with purebred flocks to provide for Uie separate pas­ turing of smaller lots of ram and ewe lambs. . . Movable fencing is not likely to be satisfactory for the oiitslde-lot- fences unless the whole area, to be used lies In a long strip witli side fences, when only two end pieces need to be In place a t one time for the ground being grazed. ' STANDARDS FOR CONTAINERS Hamper, Round-Stave Basket and Maricet or Splint Basket Lack In Uniformity. Three Important shipping containers In. need of standardization at the pres­ ent time are the hamper, the' round- stave basket, and the market or splint basket, say specialists of the bureau of markets, United States Deportment of Agriculture. Investigations In all parts of the United States wher^ these packages are used have shown & seri­ ous lack of uniformity in capacity, shape and strength which could be cor­ rected by % e ’adoption of standards wtddi have been prepared Iiy the bu­ reau of markets. ' I These standards have.been written into a bill, H, R. 4900 now before con­ gress. Its adoption should go a long way toward eliminating the 15 styles a id sizes of round-stave ’baskets, 25 styles. and sizes of splint baskets as well as the 50 styles and sizes of hampers. The biU provides for'five sizes of -splint baskets, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 quarts; five/sizes of round-stave bas­ kets %-bushel, %-bushel, IVbushel, 1%- bushel and 2-bushel, and six sizes of hampers, 8, 16, 20, 32 and two styles for 48 quarts. , KILL GREEN CABBAGE WORMS Arsenate of Lead Spray Will Prove Satisfactory to Destroy Various Insects. - .

HOETH OABQLmA NEW SKIRTS FOR FALL - AREWQW ON EXHIBITION - y_re-j A !,HEADY a few new skirts for fall have arrived. They made a quiet entry because they differ little la .style from .those worn In spring and summer. Manufacturers, it seems, weaving- materials to be used exclu­ sively for skirts, have continued to present striped and plaid patterns In woolen, goodj that invite the ingenuity of designers In m aking. attractive models. In ■ doth skirts the same long, straight lines emphasized by plaits, appear in the fall models; that were characteristic of spring skirts. None of the new skirts are narrow, and -all of. them are longer than those of last season—but it remains to be proved that American women will ac­ cept a much lengthened skirt, so hems are only basted in and. length left to the discretion of the wearer. . There is also the . usual variety of plaits, with knife and accordion plait­ ing well represented among them. But each piece of striped or plaid mate­ rial suggests several varieties of plait Ings according to the fancy of the designer. Plaited and plain panels al. teraate on some of the new models, and occasionally Icng lines are broken by a yoke made plain with plaited portion set on it. Buttons’ in many sizes and in graduated sizes promise a new development, in the m atter oi decoration for fall skirts, and they take to the company of belts and pockets.

Every citizen of Davie County, at d for .that matter most every body in this section of the State, knows what this annual picnic has accoroplisl ed for the orphan children of the State In .the 42 picnics about, thirty-five thousand dollars, - ($35,000.00) has been raised and contributed to the Oxford Orphan asylum. It has help­ ed to clothe, educate and feed those helpless waifs, set adrift by mis­ fortune, and today hundreds of .orphan boys and girls who have gone forth from the orphanage, are living examples of our generosity., to the needy. The money given by us to this cause has helped to give'them a chance in life, and possibly in many cases saved them from live3 of pover­ ty and shame. This year while ■ our people are hard pressed for money, arid with a poor prospect for crops, is no time for us to forget the father­ less and motherless boys and gins, who still look to us for our annual donation; Let’s make some sacrifice cut out some needless expenditures, and contribute to this worthy cause. We hope the fathers and mothers all over the county will come out Thurs­ day Augijst the Ilth, arid bring a nice basket of good things to contri­ bute to these hapless waifs, contri­ buted through this grand Institu­ tion. Davie county people hsve made a name in the past, for which1 we are all justly proud. Let not the glorious banner which." has floated over our doors every August for the past fortv two years, trail in the dust in 1921.

They say that the state school fund is short about six hundred thousand dollars of what it needs to run the schoools and the admin­ istration of Rrleigh no doubt is in a stew' about it. Increasing the school' terms to six months- and raising the teachers’ salaries natur­ ally increased the cost • of running the schools and Democratic legisla­ tors failed to meet the situation that confronted them. They were a'raid to levy enough taxes to car- the front wheels pushing slightly a-1 ry- on the State’s expenses and now gainst the bridge railing.
