Many econo- j lines and savings-could be worked i out with a little time and thought. I do not believe that half time work is put in while on these jobs,' when I nienarekilliug time and making1 time, the average man can' see it, especially when it conies under his personal observation, arid I am in­ formed that the same condition ex­ ists in every section of the State where the same k in d ro f w ork'is going 011. The farmers in North Carolina did not rise-up thier might and strength and demand a 5 0 mil­ lion dollar issue of bonds and when it comes to propaganda for thesr mi.lions of bonds—-the farniers are used as a camouflage to hide and' coiiceal the interests behind the throne, they have sense enough to know-that; the 5 0 million bond is­ sue is going to be spent, v'and. that it is just hbegiung to carry .'out the hard surface road program and that it w ill take several 5 0 millions to complete the program /but he also knows who is going to bear the biggest part of the burden—he knows that / ‘Jones Pays The' Freight.” Pennsylvania, one of the riches States in the Union,, with the largest manufacturing enter­ prises of any State— with a tax valuation of over 15 billions of dol­ lars, has appropriated only 5 0 jjiil, lions for roads.

To tlie above we will add that State Superintendent of Schools Brooks and the City School Super­ intendents held a. meeting in Ral­ eigh last week and according to Tom Bost’s report of the’ gathering agreed to accept Supt. Brooks plans to reduce “overhead expenses” and get more results in' teaching. The Observer in replying to M r. Mor^ ris, claims that these “ overhead” charges, are all a fbyth, a creature of imagination. If this be true, why such.action by these State and City School Superintendents? It is a frank admission of what Mr. Morj ris claims. ■ If there were no cause there would be 110 need for plans to reduce “ overhead” expenses and get more results in teaching.

Everywhere the out- loolsi is for a greater volume of trade in 1922 than seemed possible in the fall.of 1921. Three weeks ago the Daily News declared that we were rigid: then g t Uie worst of it. That deputation llaS. been justified-more swiftly than we had expected; we had - rather believed that things would.drag along with no . great change until about the first of Marph1 but already there is enough sound of tlie going'in the mulberry trees to justify u. in assuming that the worst is over. . And yet this movement is in some measure more critical than the na­ dir of the depression. Heretofore the thing to combat has been un­ due pessimism; but as things begin t° brighten it becomes incumbent upon, the thoughtful element of the business community to watch out for uhdue optimism. Tlie worst is over, bht that does not mean that the business,world Js out of the woods. The year 1922 is going to be a better year than., we had any sound reason for be+ievhig that it would-be; but at that_it is not g0- irigfb be a good year for plungers.

They re­ solutely shut their ears to every.in- timation that a pincli was coming. Give them credit for consistency— they stuck to their creed of “ Boost, don't knock” to the bitter end. But unfortunately they wound up-| by boosting themselves out on a limb. Some of them have been sawed off; and those that have’ not been rescued only by dint of the hardest sort of work on the part oc their bankers and their more con­ servative business associates. Of course, we are all for the boosters,-the hale and hearty boys, the go-getters,-and all that son of thing;, but we have just had a pain fully clear demonstration ,that it can be. overdone.

How long did preachers preach a generation a'go? How long ought preachers to preach now? A genera­ tion ago an hour anfi a quarter was about as short a sermon as any one heard. Rev. Moses Brock preached a serman in Chatham county that required seven hours for its dalivery. A generation a go, one -very rarely ever heard anything said about ser- tunis being too long. O f course I know that people now hear moife preaching than the}’ did a genera­ tion ago. Aud it is equally- true that they hear better preaching now than they did a generation ago. But now the demand is for short sermons. I f there is a clbck in the church people begin to quietly turn their faces toward it with longing looks. And this is-true no matter what .may be the character of the message. Talking of .a preacher some days .ago'who has large con­ gregations to hear him Sunday after Sunday the* fact developed that' he [•preached only about 22 minutes. W ell, you say if 2 0-minute sermons will draw the crowds trim them down to 2 0 Ininutes. That sounds ■very good, but the-Teal trouble is 110 man living can .preach a serman in that length of time. O f course a peacher can deliver some sort of adnessa’ge in 2 0 nlinutes;' but not a message that deserves the name sermon.— Maxton Scottish Chief. Manied By Wire.

COMPENSATION BILL WITHOUT ANY PRbyiSION TO RAISE FUND. \ PRESIDENT MIGHT TAKE HAND Proponents and Opponents of Sales Tax Surprlseii by Committee Vote, 7 to 2. Proposal Greatly Improved in View of ^om ej Others W ant Lease Cut to Fifty Years. W ashington.—Three alterations in the proposal made by Henry Ford for ■ lease and purchase of the gov­ ernm ent’s nitrate and power projects a t Muscle Shoals, Ala., have been agreed to by the D etroit m anufactur­ er. They say: ' One, to w rite into the proposed con­ tract a definite guarantee to pr&duce fertilizers in their finished form at a given annual minimum tonnage. Two, to capitalize the operating, capacity which is to be created for the purpose of supervising the Muscle Shoals operations. Three, to revise the language of the so-called farm ers’ clause in order to insure the delivery of fertilizers from the producing plant to the con­ sum ers at a profit not exceeding eight per cent based on the cost of manu­ facture. Mr. Ford’s approval of these modi­ fications was announced by W. R. Mayo, chief engineer of the Ford com­ pany, upon his return from Detroit where he went to confeir with the De­ troit m anufacturer. Form al announcem ent'to the house- m ilitary committee members who are investigating the offer in congress will be m ade by Mr. Mayo. > W hile the three alterations were, re­ garded by some committee members as greatly improving the form, of the proposal aniT adding to its value as they view it froni the government's standpoint, other members said it would have been more acceptable, if Mr. Ford had also agreed to a reduc­ tion in the lease clause from IOO to 50 years as suggested by Secretary W eeks when he testified before the committee. • On this point, however, Mr. Mayo explained that Mr. Ford still felt that the 60-year period was too short a tim e to justify the financial invest­ m ent necessary under the proposed contrast for development for the Mus­ cle Shoals w ater power facilities and nitrate plants in the section of the country where they are situated. The agreem ent to manufacture fin­ ished- fertilizers instead of “com­ pounds,” it was explained, was made t„ assure the production of th at com­ m odity which several, committee men had declared was not an obligation un- «r the existing language of the offer. Jr. Mayo did not reveal the amount of production guaranteed. Big Cargo of W hiskey Seized, o Saiemt Mass. — W hiskey and gin valued at $70,000, consisting of seven hundred cases, were seized by federal officers and .local police in a raid on a stranfled m otorboat from Gloucester in the harbor here. Four of the crew escaped by Jumping overboard and walking ashore in the mud. The cap­ tain, who was 111, was arrested. Threatens Greek 8 hlpp!ng. P aris--T h e Frendh foreign office informed the Greek government that, unless the steam er Espoir and its cargo of coal, captured .by a Greek tor­ pedo boat off the coast of Asia Minor, a few days ago, are im m ediately re­ leased, France m ust adopt retaliatory m easures toward the Greek shipping. -A H avas dispatch-from Athens says that, In a note handed the French m inister, tic Greek government had agreed to release'the Espoir but de­ clared it would retain the coal. ■ More Cotton Used.

W ashington.—The national confer­ ence of bar. associations at its clos­ ing session adopted practically unani­ mously the recommendation of,- the American Bar Association that future members of the bar be required to have a t least two years college edu­ cation in addition to their regular law school w,ork. The action of the con­ ference was on a resolution which, it had been explained, would place the associations ,under the moral obliga­ tion of striving to have this educa­ tional standard sot up In their states and universities. 1 W ashington.—Rejecting 7 to 2, a proposition to pay the soldiers’ bonus by m eans of a sales tax, the special sub-committee of republican members of the house ways and means^ com­ m ittee was understood to have gone on record, 5 to 4, in favor of report­ ing out an adjust compensation bill without any provision for raising the revenue. The sub-committee reported to the entire m ajority membership of the Committee=Jsier in the day, but a de­ cision wiis deferred, adjournment be­ ing taken so as to give committeemen time to study the whole m atter. Some of those professing to have, sounded sentim ent among ^he m ajority mem­ bers were of the opinion that unless there were unforeseen developments the action of the srb-committee prob­ ably would be ratified. Aside from the ballots on the sales tax an d 'a bill without a revenue pro­ vision, there were said to have been several other votes in the sub-com­ m ittee provision was defeated, 6 to 2 Both proponents and opponents of a sales tax appeared to be surprised by the vote on that proposition. Both sides had been claiming a victory with each seemingly expecting a fairly close vote. Four members of the sub-commit- tee were reported to have favored a further postponement of bonus legis­ lation in the belief that in time the problem of finance woulcl solve itself. Postponement is opposed, however, by a big m ajority of the committee and also by m any members of the house. Chairman Ford=ey reiterated that a bonus bill would be passed- at this session and other committeemen expressed the same view. Some supporters of a sales tax ex­ pressed the view that President Hard­ ing m ight again take a hand’ in the bonus controversy. W ashington.—Tfie Roma .disas­ ter and possible necessary changes of aircraft policy resulting there­ from were understood to have been discussed a t Cabinet meeting.. Secretary Fall, on enteVing the meeting, said Congress would be asked through the W ar and Navy Departments for an appropriation of $6,000,000‘for production of he­ lium gas, the non-inflammable gas ,used for dirigibles:- The, Secretary took with him into the Cabinet meeting a map showing gas fields in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas and’ Oklahoma, . which might, in addition to the Texas . ielSs;-furnish helium. 34 PERISH IN AIRSHIP FIRE AIRSHIP ROMA PLUNGES 1,000 FEET, HITS HIGH-TENSION WIRE AND BURNS UP.

Chicago.—A powder magazine -In the United States quarry ln ih e south­ western com er of Chicago, blew up, shaking the whole city- It is not known whether a'ny one was killed. W indows in ail parts of Chicago were broken by the explosion, which had mystified the . entire city. A freight train on the Belt Line Rail­ road, near Argo, w asj blown off the track.

The 34 dead includes officers of the army air service. Her contact with the high voltage wires which she tore asunder started her gas bag afire, and the explosion followed as the nose of the craft struck a pile of car m aterial a few feet beyond. The explosion sent flames 800 feet in the air, as eight of her survivors leaped from the “deck” of the ship. Three others jvere dragged from the m ass of wreckage and flames. Only those in the forward part of the operating compartment of the ship had a chance for their lives. Several were injured severely i>y jumping, but three came out practically unhurt and were discharged from the hospital within a few hours after the disaster. Lieutenant Burt, who with Captain Reed was the principal pilot of the Roma, Was one of these. He jumped when the ship was only a few yards from the ^ound. . \ At nightfall, m any hours after her fall, the ship was still a m ass of flames from one end to the other of her 410- foot mass. The fire was feeding on the million cubic feet of gas that had distended the great bag for the flight. Barely a dozen or more than two score men aboard had been picked up alive. One died en route to a hos­ pital'. AU of those who survived the fire escaped by jumping as the ship struck. The others, pinned in the hull beneath ^ the fallen bag, were burned to death. H eat of the fire fought back res­ cuers tor hours. Three fire departm ents fought the flamds with chemicals and by 7 p. m. it was out. Derricks began picking up the wreckage as the flames were driven-b'ack. There was scarcely more than the aluminum frame work and six Liberty motors to move. W ithin the wreckage lay the bodies, many of them charred beyond direct recognition. Thirty-one bodies had been tatten out at 7 o'clock. Three or four more were thought to be still In the charred m ass that alone remained of what had been the largest ship of her type in the world. Eye witnesses who watched the smash agreed that the huge kite-like structure of the stern rudder, itself as large as a bombing place, had slip- ped to one side as the Roma drove along a thousand feet above the arm y base. , So sw ift Was the flare of the gas flame that rescuers were driven back before its terrific heat. They watched helplessly aB the great bag shriveled in the fierce blaze of the liberated gas. The Roma was a waU of flames a city block long and until the thou­ sands of gallons of chemicals and wa­ ter had checked the holocaust, it was impossible to reach the comrades mangled and dead in that fiery fur­ nace. Of the forty-Uve m en who leftlthe Langley K eld air station this after­ noon, eleven found Jtheir way, alive, to the United States public health service. Those m en,‘some more dead than alive,, lay on their cdts, 'with, burned and broken limbs swathed in bandages. Some -had their faces smeared with cream to relieve them of their intense suffering, while oth­ ers lay asleep or unconscious with only their dosed eyes visible. AU who were able to talk were suffering from shock. Several of the victims, it is believed, .w ere-instantly kilted. Casts Gloom Over Departments.

DISCUSSES FINANCIAL PHASE OF THE COTTON GROWING PROBLEM. HESTER ON COHON FUTURES R. O; Everett of North Carolina Made Chairman of Conference on Cotton Problems. New Orleans.—A defense of the fu­ tures contract in dealing with cotton was voiced by CoL Henry G. Hester,' for 51 years secretary of the New Or­ leans cotton exchange, in an address before the commissioners appointed by the various governors of the cotton states who began here a study of the problems affecting the cotton indus­ try. •We m ust remember that cotton is the most liquid asset known to the world’s trade and through futures, every m inute of the day and night, from one end of the year to the other, cotton m ay be purchased,” declared Mr. Hester. He deplored the fact that laws have been suggested to con­ gress whereby the New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges may be .regulated as to their dealings in futures. He warned the law-makers present at the conference that, while it might lie in the power of the gov­ ernm ent to regulate the New York and New Orleans exchanges, Havre, Liverpool and other foreign exchanges could not be regulated. "You are here to devise a system of education for both white and col­ ored that wUl teach them to properly grow cotton of high grades,” s^id Col­ onel Hester. “Your aim should be to do away w ith trash or unspinnable cotton. You will also have to devise some method whereby the public can be enlightened and enlist the aid of the national and state governments to get us out of the mud.” Angus W. McLean, member of the w ar finance corporation and former assistant secretary of the treasury, a delegate from North Carolina, fol­ lowed Secretary H ester with a brief address in which he discussed the financial phase of the cotton growing problem. State Senator R. O. EveYett, of North Carolina, was made temporary chairman of the ’conference. A com­ m ittee on permanent organization w as' named to present recommenda­ tions as to the perm anent organiza­ tion. This committee also was asked to formulate a permanent program for future action to be recommended to the various states represented by commissioners and to seek the co­ operation of those states not repre­ sented in the conference. Perm anent organization was af­ fected a t a meeting of the committee named for that purpose with the se­ lection of State Senator R. O. Ever­ ett, of North Carolina, as chairman and Thomas B. King, of Memphis, Tenn., secretary. The organization was officially named the Cotton States commis­ sion. Engstrum Plan With Weeks. W ashington. — Consideration was given by both the war departm ent and the house m ilitary committee on the question of disposing of .the gov- em m ent’s power and nitrate projects at Muscle Shoals, Ala.

CHAPTER Vi—Continued, —6— • 44You needn’t,” broke In the embit­ tered Bill Dale. “I can get the neces­ sary funds without difficulty, *1*11 pay the debt myself. You’ve had. a great many years in which to try to make amends, and you haven’t done any­ thing. You might have helped the Morelands^wiihdut their even knowing that it was you—especially as they seem to have known you- by another Dame—and that’s the only way yon. could have helped them. Here yoii have one reason Why I cannot accept assistance from you; don’t you see, fa­ ther? The Morelands wouldn’t have It, and I couldn’t lie to them.” He motioned to. MeLaurih, who had halted on the lower veranda step/ In order that he mlglit not overhear, and turned and walked away. McLaunn followed, and soon overtook him. Bill Dale stopped suddenly and faced back to his father. 4Hemeraber that Bobby gets his house and loti” 44Xes,*4 replied John K. Dale, “Bobby gets his house ami lot.” He went sadly toward the mansion that seemed to him now a good deal like a tomb. Young Dale touched bis friend on the arm. ‘Tell me, what did4 mother say? I know it’s going to hurt, but—tell It” “She was sitting beside an open win­ dow in the' library,” said McLaurin. 4T told her that you were at the gate, and asked if. she would like to see you. At first I was afraid she hadn’t heard me. Then she opened a book that she was reading, found her place and ‘‘IM hPay.theD ebtM yself/ marked tt .vrltb a to s^ a a ^ to o k e d at : U j- •“ Who. did jrquv. rai'-Was^.atith^gate. Mr. ” ‘lour, son Onrlyle,' I answered, “ ‘Mr. McLanrin,' she said to me coldly, 'I wantyou never to forget this: Tn iop there is no, such ■ person Zon earth 'as Carlyle .Dale;’" 4 V; * They went downtown In silence. ^ ■ CHAPTER VII. , :: -'Lonesome. ••• v:. • v.,. When John Moreland and Ben U t­ tleford had finished their breakfast there In the dining room of the Blais- dell, they drank' the water from their dngerbowls, threatened with sadden death the waiter who ’ snickered, and fouqd the way to the lobby. To Littleford the minutes dragged , soddenly. Finally he told Moreland, in a sentence tilled with double nega­ tives, that he could bear the. suspense no longer, and proposed that they set out at once for Doctor Braemer’s hos-. pital. The hotel manager overheard some of the one-sided conversation; he ’phoned the' surgeon and learned that the young woman was resting easily, which, information he passed on to the mountain men. Ben Littleford was quiet for live minutes, more or less. Then he again proposed to John Moreland that they go to the hospital to see Babe. More­ land refused flatly, and accompanied liis refusal with an unmistakable' look of contempt. “You’re as restless as a dawg In a flea town,” he told his old enemy, and with that he walked away. A few minutes later Ben LIttleford stole out unnoticed by his neighbor Toru the B'g fine, and went at a brisk 6o.i TE VVy street. 'Moreland found It out shortly afterw ard; he followed the Liftleford chief hotfoot, and overtook him. Trust your hill dweller to note landmarks when he goes into unknown territory — Llttleford was headed straight for the hospital. They walked for two blocks In si­ lence. Moreland had assumed the at­ titude of one who has had the guard­ ianship of an irresponsible person thrust upon him. But 'soon he soft­ ened somewhat. “I shore cain’t onderstand, Ben,” he drawled, "how Bill Dale ever could bear it to live here” “I wonder,” Littleford said absent- mindedly, as though he had not heard,, “whar Bill Dale is at I it’s mighty durned lonesome without him, ain’t It? That was good ham we had. for break- fus’, John.” "it wasn’t ham. it was beef.,” "it was ham.” "it was beef.” , . “it was Im—” . . “Don’t ye reckon,” flared John More­ land, “that I know a dang cow’s meat when I see it? .it was beef!’! They had halted In (the middle of a stream of pedestrians. A' policeman crowded his way to. them. ■' “Move on I” he growled. •* . * * V Bill Dale was at that moment enter­ ing the lobby of the Blaisdeil with Kobert McLaurin .at his side Dale had just told McLaurin that he meant to go to Uincinnati to borrow money from bis wealthy friend Harris. Then McLaurin told Dale something that saved him the journey to Cincinnati. “You haven’t heard about Harris, Bill?. I’m sorry, because he would have accommodated you. He went broke a few days ago In the cotton smash. He was here yesterday, and left last night for Uincy Dale did not try to conceal his sur­ prise and disappointment Harris, for all his youth, had been a business mar­ vel. V “TH have to try somehody here, i guess. But X won’t take it from fa­ ther—mother wouldn’t permit it, any­ way, if she fcnew-*-and there are sev­ eral other reasons. Queer how a fel­ low’s mother would turn him down like this! Usually, y’know. It’s a fel­ low's mother 'that sticks by him the longest. . . . ' - 1 “I wofider where X could find old NeWton Wheatley, of the Luther- Wheatley iron company?' I know him, all right. He always liked me, Bobby.” “You’ll find him at home;” McLaurin answered. “He’s out of business,'and here all the time now. He. might take a shot at coal. Why not 'phone him from here?” ’Til do that,” Dale decided. “Look up my two friends-for me, Bobby, tviil you?" Bie was soon speaking to Newton Wheatley. He was brief In stating his wishes. To the question as to why he' did not go to his father'for funds— well, he bad his reasons, and it was rather a private ’ matter. Wheatley, of' course, remembered the' hear-wedding. Tlie old iron man was silent for what seemed to XXaIe a very long time. Then bis voice came over the wire with an almost ominous calm : ' “Who besides you has seen this vein, Carlyle? Anybody that knows coal?" .“Yes, my father,” .D ate; answered quickly.' “He-went over it years ago.' Ask him about the eoalin David More­ land’s mountain.‘Thone him, and then- 'phone me. I’m Waiting At the Bials- dell.” 4. . YVheatiey agreed a little reluctantly. Dale waited patiently for fifteen minutes. Then the clerk - called. film to the ’phone. He took up the receiver with boyish eagerness. \ • Wheatley began cordially: “Your fa­ ther tells me it Is a good'proposition, Carlyle, so 'T il -let you have all the money you'll need. And it you want a good mining man, I know- where you-, can lay' your hands on pnef also. X can. furnish you, at half .the origihaiidost. all the necessary machinery and-acces­ sories.'- Aon didn't know the old-La-. ther-Wheatley company . dickered In cqal as well as imm; eh?. WeIL it did. Let/me see you at 'three o’clock this afternoon—” Dale was jubilant. Here was a rare stroke of good,.fortune. He. went to McLaurin—who had not yet • found John Moreland and Ben Xiittleford— and told him about it. . McXaurin was almost as. happy as Dale over Tt. A bellboy appeared like a jack-to-the-bos in the center of the floor. "Mistoh Uahlyle Dale! Mistoh Uahlyle Dolet” Dale wheeled. “Well?” "Wanted immejitly at Doctoh Brae- meh’s hospittle, suhl” Dale shook hands with McLaurin and hurried toward the street. A few minutes later Doctor Braemer met him in tlie..reception room. “What’s wrong, doctor?” The surgeon beckoned. “Come with me." : He turned and led the way through a long corridor and to a sunny white room where Babe Littleford lay with a bandage about her temples. BeA U t­ tleford was on his knees at bis daughter’s bedside; he was slowiy wringing bis big, rough hands and beg­ ging piteously to be forgiven. Babe stared at him a trifle coldly. She, bad not yet seen the two men who I**,,* “I Was a-Tryin’ to Skeer Him Out o’ Fightin' Any More,’5 She Inter­ rupted. ( stood in the doorway. Then she in­ terrupted her father: “You hush, pap, and go away> Td told ye a Iiunderd times about Ughtin' a-bein’ murder, and ’specially to us wimmenfoiks, and you never would pay any ’tention to me. You hush, pap, and go away. XSf I die, i’ll jest hof to die,' And ef I die, I shore do want to die in peace. Uo way, pap.” “But ye must live. Babe, honey?” Ben Littleford moaned. “Hf you was to. die, what’d.X do?" ' . “X don't know what ye’d do,- pap,” Babe said weakly. “You ought to thought o’ that afore, pap. Ir may be too late now. I want ye to go on off and le’ me alone. Hf I die, I want to die in peace. The Lord knows I never got to live in peace!” , • There was a worried look In her wonderful brown eyes, and the doctor saw it. He strode forward decisively and helped Uttleford to his feet. The hillman wiped away a tear with his faded blue bandana, and hung his head. He had been made a broken man in one day. “CO out to your, friend Moreland," smiled the doctor, “and wait there for a little while.” Babe’s father walked unsteadily out of the room. Dale went to Doctor Bruemer and whispered, "isn’t she go­ ing to make it?" anxiously. “Certainly she’s going to make it," Broemer assured him. "Uo on; she wants to see you.". . . Dale drew a chair up close , to the white bed and sat down. Babe’s eyes lighted at once, and she put a hand uncertainly oiit toward him. Dale took- the hand in his. - He saw that it was a little pale under its’delicate sunburn. - "Ulad to see you, Babe,” he told hen softly. “YVhy do you think you’re go­ ing to die, Babe?” . Bhe smiled at him. “Why, I don’t think Tm a-goln’ to die,” she said. .“I know Tm a-goin’ to--Uve, XMll Dale. I ■ feel like I could .walk- fifty miles right now I” ' - . ■ . "But I heard you tell your father—” “I was a-tryin’ to skeer him out o’ fightin'' any more," she interrupted. “And X believe I 'bout done it, don’t you?’’ Dale was relieved. "X do. Is there, anything you want. Babe? - if there Is, i'll get it for ypu It it’s In. the uni­ verse."- . . “The-universe?” she repeated lnculr- 'Ogty- .“What’s the-Uttlverse*BitlDate? Somethin’ to. eat?” \ “The world, the sun, the moon, and the stars.” V .. . ' > She smiled at him aimin. ,“No,” she said, “the*, ain't:nothin’ I want, and ain’t nothin’ ye. can do .fo’ m ej'x reckon." ; “But X thought, as they sent for Babe Littleford’s fingers held, tightly to his. “It was me that sent fo' you.” Bhe turned her face the other way. “I was so lonesome. Bill Dale!” Kobert MeLaurin’s wife, Fatrlcla, visited Babe twice daily, and a friend­ ship that was none the less warm for being unique sprang up quickly be­ tween them. X’atrlcia declared to her husband that she was going to keep Xiabe—whom she w as already calling by her proper name, the same being Klizabeth—and educate her. There was room In the bungalow, Tatricia said; and she really needed company, because Bobby whs away so much. Babe accepted little Mrs. MeLaurin’s Offer as soon us Bill Dale convinced her that she wouldn’t be merely an ob­ ject of charity. The hill pride’s first law is that one must pay for what he gels—and it’s probably the first law Uod laid down for old Adam in Eden. Ben Littleford seemed bewil­ dered and blue when they told him of the arrangement; but he voiced no ob­ jection. Dale pressed upon him a loan of a hundred dollars, and or­ dered him to give it to his daughter, which he did. Elizabeth Littleford, of course, would need new clothing. “I ain’t even got any dresses at home," she whispered, to Patricia, “but two.” .uill Dale was sure now that he loved Babe, and he was almost sure that she cared for him." But he was quite properly In no haste to come to au understanding. He had known all along that Babe would have to be educated! and a woman’s tastes, he reasoned, might change with educa­ tion. And he wanted her to have the opportunity of knowing other men of Ins class. If she couldn’t love him with a lasting lore, he’ didn't want her to love him at all. . Oddly or not, he never thought of Jimmy Fayne. CHAPTER VIII. Major Bradley and Henderson Goff. YVhen Bill Dale, the expert mining man Hayes and the two mountaineers stepped from a short passenger train at the Halfway switch, they were ap­ proached by the moonshiner, Heck, and a man whom Dale had never seen before. He was tall, and his bearing was erect and soldierlike, though he was every day of sixty years old. His eyes were bine and twinkling with everlasting good humor; his gray, mustaches and imperial were exceed­ ingly well cared for; his teeth were his own, and as white as a school- girl’s, and they bore out his general air of neatness. He was, plainly, a Southerner of tfle old type. “Who’s that?" whispered Dale to John Moreland. But Moreland didn't hear. He ran forward with his right hand out­ stretched, and so did Ben Littleford. Men could not have greeted a brother with more gladness. Dale thought. “Hi, thar, Major Bradley!" the MiXl- Mnn cried. “Aud how d’ye come on today?" ’ “I am very well, gentlemen, thank you,” said the major; smiting. He shook their hands heartily. “The trainmen gave us your message yester­ day,” he went on, ,still smiling, 'bind we were delighted to learn that the ■ young woman was out of,danger. I trust you are all In good 'health, gen­ tlemen.” They assured him that they were. Moreland turned to Introduce Xiill Dale and tlje mining man. Frqm the mo­ ment that Major Bradley gripped Dale's hand they were friends. "Mighty glad to know you, sir!” exclaimed the old lawyer. “I’ve been bearing a great deal about you, sir, oVer to the valley of the Doe. They seem to think there’s nobody just like Bili Dale! It was Bill Dale this, and Bill Dale th at; it was ‘Here’s where Bill Dale whipped Black Adnrj,’ or, ’Here’s where Bill Dale was stand­ ing when such-and-such happened,’ or, •Here’s where Bill' Dale crossed the fence!’ ” - ‘ “Hah-hah-hah I” sluggishly laughed By Heck, who stood leaning on the muzzle of his rifle. “Bill Dale is all right, m ajor; ye’ve shore got my word fo’ that.” The others laughed. • Then John Moreland said they’d better be mov­ ing, or they’d be Iate for dinner; . When they had put a hundred yards of David Moreland's mountain behind them, the old Southerner tugged slyly at Dale’s sleeve and whispered: “I-et, us fal! ,;iiehlnd a little, if you please. I want; to speak with you privately.” i They began iYo Iag1Vnd soon there was a. distance o f. several rods be­ tween them and the'others.' “I heard through Addie Moreland.” began Bradley, his friendly Irnnd on the younger man’s arm., “about you and what, you’re planning to do f. the Morp'ands. p. ,te|l -you, ,,sir, thanked’ heaven for your coining; -' you ifeiy count on me to help In wq.v_I con. The. Morelgnds are t, .friendly to me nowT’thougb up to IhfddDhTor last summer they didn’t me. Iltiy loo well because I made' for r, I and I any ■ quite the t tike Xtottlefurd a caMB asar-fccM*,**** m* here. ..“It was a simple thing that brought us together. John Moreland’s little nephew was lost In the woods and his mother was frantic. There are pan­ thers. you know, and wildcats, rattlers, and copperheads. I was fortunate enough to find the boy, and carried him home. .That was all. -T heyre a fine people, my boy, find so are the Littlefords. Good old/ English blood that'som ehow wandered off. T heres no purer, cleaner blood to America, sir. . ‘ _“And now—how are yon getting along with your plans for the opera­ tion of the coal mine?” “Excellently," answered Dale. “YVe have the necessary finance; a geared locomotive, and cars and light steel rails have been bargained for.” “Good!” Bradley gave Dale a hearty slap on the shoulder. -' • “There’s something else I wanted to say, Mr. Dale," he continued, his voice grave. “You’re nearly certain to have a barrel of trouble with, a shyster coal man named Henderson Uoff. He’s .a villain, sir, if ever there was one! And he’s quite the smooth­ est article I’ve ever seen, He can make you believe ■ black is white, if only you’Sl listen to him long enough.” T s 'he—has he been here recently?” Dale wanted to know. “He's iiere now,” answered the ma­ jor. “He’s been here for three days, and lie’s been working devilment fast. He was up here last summer, trying to buy the Moreland coal for a song; he knows all the peoRle, you see. As soon as he landed here on this pres­ ent trip, he found out about your in­ tentions. Then.* at night, he freed Adam Ball from his tobacco barn pris­ on. and went home with him. “YVell, By Heck followed them and did some eavesdropping—poor By has his strong ..points!" the major went on. “Goff learned that Adam Ball’s father knew about the coal vein long before David Moreland discovered it and got lawful possession of the moun­ tain. Then Goff made the B alls'be­ lieve that they were due a big share of the proceeds of the Moreland coal I It wasn’t very hard to do, I guess. The Balls, this set, at least, were originally Iowlanders; they took to the moun­ tains. I understand, to keep from be­ ing forced to fight during the -Civil war.” “Goff’s idea,” muttered Dale, “is to get the Balls to scare me into selling instead of developing, eh?” “Exactly.” nodded old Bradley. “Then he would settle with the Bails by giving-them a dollar or twora day for digging coal; perhaps he would put them off until the mine was worked Mit for half of that, and then skip. Anyway, Goff would come out at the big end.” “I see.” said Dale. “If there’s anything that I can do, at any time, you won't hesitate to let me know?” said the major. “You may consider yourself attorney and legal adviser for- the Moreland Coal company, of which I have the honor to be general manager,” smiled Dale, “if you will." Major Bradley’s voice came happily, “My dear boy, I am glad to accept? And there shall be no charge for any service that I may render." They were not long in reaching the green valley, which lay very beauti­ ful and very peaceful In the warm light of the early July sun. The soft murmuring of the crystal river and the low. slow tinkling of the cowbells made music that was sweet and pleas­ ing. Suddenly John Moreland stopped, uttered a swearword under his breath, turned and went btjck to Dale. “The’s' a man a-waitin’ on us ahead thar, Bill,” he drawled, “’at ye shore want to watch like a hawk to keep him from a-stealin’ the eyeteeth out o’ yore head. His name is Hender­ son Goff, and he wants coal.’! They went on. . Soon they met a man who. in clothing and manner made Dale think of stories he had heard and read of. Mississippi river steamboat gamblers of the long ago. His eyes were black, and as keen a« a pair’of spear-points; his mustaches, tqp, were black, and they had sharp; upturned ends like those of a Mephi* to. The m ajor had said that he was a smooth article; he certainly looked It. He met John Moreland with an oily smile and thrust out his hand But Moreland wouldn’t see the hand. “Anything ye’ve got to say about coal,” he growled, “ye can say to Bill Dale thar,” pointing with a calloused thumb. “Bill he's the high light o’ the, -whole •• business; and when ho opens ^iis mouth, ye can cock yore head to one side and listen fo’ gaws Pd." . Goff was delighted to meet Mr. Dale, of jvhom he had' already beard. Dale had nothing whatever to .say. They walked o h , toward the cabin of th t Moreland Chief, - with Goif keeping, ui a running fire of talk concerning th t scenery, the 'clim ate—anything bui clfel. ' At John ’ 'Moreland’s gate. Gofl' nudged Dale with an elbow and whis­ pered: “Meet me at one o'clock^ down there where the big sycamore lies across the river., Tve got something to teli you that will interest you.” 'I want you L ittIefonb to h e, on good termq with your neigh* hors, the Morelands.** (TO BE OOfitllfeSSD.)

An­ nouncement of the forthcoming con­ vention is made by E. J. Tillman, com­ mander. and AV. B. Williamson, sec­ retary. of the Charlotte chapter.of the Disabled American Veterans. The Charlotte chapter is the pioneer of the state, and Charlotte is, there­ fore, selected by disabled veterans of the state as the logical place to have the convention. Another reason is- that many veterans are here to take treatment in hospitals at government expense and to receive vocational I training-I A Charlotte man, Zebulon B; Thom- I Ijurgi a first lieutenant in the 30th di- I vision during the war and connected ] with the redoubtable ilS th infantry of I that division, will call the convention I to order here as state executive chair- I man.

He j served gallantly in the lighting which the 30th division went through at Voor- mozelle. BeIsium; Beilicourt and Buz- any, France, and at other places. He is endorsed by disabled veterans here and in many parts of the state as the propeT man for state commandet o f the perfected disabled veterans’ op- j ganization. In addition to the visitors here from' I all parts of the state, there will be I several national officers here for the convention. Ralph A. Horr, of Seattle, {Washington, vice commander of the national organization ot disabled vet­ erans, will be one of them. Col. C; R. I Forbes, head of the veterans’ bureau I at Washington, will be another d is tin- I guished visitor, and M.‘ Bogan, director I of the Fifth district for veterans,, re- I lief headquarters in Atlanta, will be I another. At the convention the subjects to be !discussed principally will be hospital- [ ization. compensation, vocational train- I tag and the welfare of disabled men. The election of officers for the per- I fected state organization will take Iplace here and delegates selected to I attend the national convention of dis- I abled veterans at San Francisco June ] !6-30. The sessions of the convention will Ibe held in the City AHditorium.

MOTHER! .CLEAN CHILD’S BOWELS WITH CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP FINANCIAL BURDEN ON PATRONS W ILL BE S ttA tL , SAYS TME BOARD. 20 PUBUSHERS REPRESENTED Board Claims That Best Interest of Stutfents Was vl)ppermost in Se­ lection for Five Years. Raleigh. After a week spent in considering a multitude of text books, the board of education announced its selections for elementary grades of the state's public schools, these to constitute the courses of study for the next five years. The announcement was accompa­ nied by a statem ent setting forth fully the position of the board Iel making new selections and assuring the people of the state that the best interests of the students received principal consideration. The board has had due regard both for the needs of the child and the cost of (books to pupils, and it has made it possible for the schools' to m eet the needs of the children In a large way without placing any financial'burden upon the patrons. Twenty different publishers are rep­ resented in the adoptions, which are as follows: Scott-Foreman company, second grade arithmetic, language and gram­ m ar for grades four, through seven; Ginn & Co., arithmetic, grades three through seven; D, D.- Heath & Co., fifth and seventh grade history; Silver, Burdett & Co., sixth grade history, music series, grades tw o throtfgh" sev­ en; Thompson Publishing Co., sev­ enth grade history for one year, fifth grade history, supplementary, shSh grade North Carolina history, supple­ mentary; Alfred Williams & Co,, North Carolina history for sixth grade ; John C.

The text books commission prepared the outline course of study before recommending books in order to see the needs of the school, and the state board has .followed that out in selecting books. The pupils to be affected by the change are divided among the grades as follows; First, 214,966; second, 105,538; third, 90,580; fourth, '$4,662; fifth, 70,286; sixth, 64,062; seventh, 39,553, making a total of 669,603, The children in the first three grades, 62 1-2 per cent of the entire elementary grades enrollment, will not be affected materially this year by the change In test books. But all new books adopted m ust become In gen­ eral use throughout the state with the beginning of the school year 1923. .The board estim ates the effect of the change on sixth grade pupils as follows: Books that must be changed In 1922; Oeorgaphy, cost $1.82; health, 96c; civics, $1.12; total cost new books for 1922, $3.80. Arithmetic, 76c; history, 80c; Ian- guafe, 69c; reading, 78c; spelling, 32c; ,and agriculture or science, $1; total $4.24..

Headed by State Highway Commis­ sioner Frank Page, delegation of North Carolina citizens' which includ­ ed' C. B. Barbee, James’ H- Pbn and B. H. Griffin of Raleigh and Several citi­ zens of Henderson will appear before Governor Trinkle in the executive chambers in Richmond to' ask that the Virginia General Assembly incorpo­ rate the South Hili turnpike in . the Old Dominion system Of roads; Interest in the Sdoption of the .route began when North Carolina-, and Virginia business Men buiii' the' South Iflll bridge over the Roanoke river. Shortening' the distance between Ra­ leigh and Richmond by 20 miles, No public road leads across the bridge because of ttfe fact that the Virginia law forbids a public road across a pri­ vately owned bridge. The North Carolina commission agreed several months ago to build a state road to the Virginia line, con­ necting with the South Hill road, pro­ vided the Virginia authorities would take ovef the road across the bridge and maintain it. Adoption of roads in Virginia is a legislative m atter, and no authority is lodged in the highway commission of that state: Gtovernor Trinkle has agreed to rec­ ommend the adoption of the South HiII road by the state of Virginia, provfded the owners of the bridge will relinquish control of it, ,Proposals for selling or leasing the bridsfe will be presented to Governor Trinkle at the conference, which has been arranged by Commissioner Page. Henderson I.usiness men own about half the stock in the bridge, it is said to be pay- ijg excellent dividends. Guardsmen Taking High Rank, Forty thousand dollars of federal government money has just gone into 22 North Carolina communities to pay national guardsmen for' drill work. This represents the- sem iannual pay­ roll of the guard. The federal government is spending around, a quarter million dollars a year on the North Carolina national guard, Assistant Adjutant General Gordon Sm ith estimates, in equipment, salaries, expenses of the annual en­ campments and the. like. The average national guard company will receive' for the pay of its members around $5,000 the year, and the adjutant gen­ eral’s department thinks this is a tidy sum to turn loose in the various com­ munities supporting organizations. The government is in earnest in its work with the national guard, and if is giving it as much consideration as it does the regular army. Supreme Court In Session. More than a score of opinions were filed by the court in the first batch for the spring term. Included among them was the. Polk county election case which has been in the court since 1918 and which was one of the two cases brought over fronl the last term of supreme court, - ' “v i The Polk county case entitled State Ex Rel, W, C. Robertson vs. Frank Jackson involved a contest over the office of sheriff la Polk county*' By tlie opinion of the court, the decision at the polls In 1111 of the defendant was affirmed, the actual count- having been changed In the finding of the ref­ eree and the judgment of the lower cotitt. . The Opinion of the supreme court modified and affirmed the judg­ m ent below. A number ot state cases were af­ firmed by the court, including that of Sidney Kincaid ■ sentenced to serve eighteen years In the state prison from. Burke county for the killing of his wife; J, E, Burnett, convicted of second degree m urder In the killing of a prohibition agent in Swafn county; Fred Brinkley sentenced for second degree m urder,from Catawba county; and MoacOe <8lmmonar sentenced for possession and transportation of brandy. It was In the last case that the court held th at the'trial judge did not err when, over the protests of the de­ fense, he allowed the brandy seized to be introduce'd as. evidence, and al­ lowed the jury to smell and taste It for themselves to determine whether or not it > wag intoxicating. "J t was fo? the jury to decide,” the court's opinion read, whether it was intoxicating liquor and it permis­ sible for them' to use their sense ot taste and smell In passing upofl the question, They were not restrlcted-to the testimony of the officers who, ac* quired the information upon which they based the opinion by the same method." • To Let Contract March 7.'

Boulogne, France. — Agreement to tie postponement of the Genoa eco- ifoioic conference until April 10 was •reached by Prem ier Poincare and France and Prime ' M inister Lloyd George of Great Britain a t their con­ ference here. The conference orig­ inally was called to^meet March 8. Mr. Lloyd George said after the conference there would be no neces­ sity for a further discussion of the Franco-British pact as both parties were entirely agreed as to all its es­ sentials and that the pact would be ready for-signature in a few days. The two premiers by their meeting bniike'the deadlock into which a brief trial of long-range discussion after the old diplomatic style appeared to have led them on questions concerning the 6 enoa conference. This was accom­ plished in a four-hour conversation duriijSt which they reached a full un­ derstanding not only as. to the condi­ tions under which the Genoa !gather­ ing should be held and its postpone­ m ent until April 10, but also regard­ ing the general lines of the Franco- British pact “There is nothing further to be dis­ cussed about, the pact,” Mr. Lloyd George said after his interview with M. Poincare. “W e are in perfect agreement on all the essential points, and the document will be ready for signature in a few days.” The question as to whether dis­ armam ent would be discussed a t Ge­ noa was not mentioned. Both parties expressed great satisfaction a t the re­ sults of their talk. Prem ier Poincare left for Paris and Mr. Lloyd George motored oft on his return journey about the sanse time. / The official communique issued af­ ter the conference read; "Messrs. Poincare and Lloyd George m et in a four-hour talk, during which they examined In a most cordial spirit a certain number of problems, particu­ larly relating to Genoa. “They agreed on the political guar­ antees to be secured in order to pre­ vent encroachments either on the rights of the League of Nations, or on the treaties signed since the peace con­ ference or the rights of the allies In reparations. ' .— / "The experts of the different pow­ ers will m eet in London soon and the Italian Government will be asked to call the Genor conference for April lo. "A complete understanding - was reached and two premiers carried .iway with them the certainty that the entente may confiddhtly be expected to produce the best results, and that there are no difficulties.of a political character1 that stand in the way of the twe^nations working.” Shoots Wife and Cuts Her Throat.

CANT LAUGH AT SMALU BOY, Investigation Shows T hat' Modem: Woman's Pockets Contain Won­ derful Variety, of Objects, The'number of things which a small boy carried In his pocket was once a subject exciting ■ comment. Today a girl of any age usually exceeds the quota of the most acquisitive of small boys. The articles which fill the feminine handbag, or envelope purse are of course vastly different and yet there are certain similarities. Tlie small boy carried usually a sup­ ply of fishing tackle, some string and a hook or two and often a dead angle- worm. ' The woman’s fishing tackle is differ-- ent—her bag holds powder, rougo, mir­ ror, a comb and sometimes an addi­ tional pair of eyelashes to stick on when she wants to dazzle. The small boy carried nails. ■ The woman carries- a nail file. The small boy carried two coins wlth holes In them and a Canadian penny. The woiiian carries carfare usually and her husband’s telephone number and office address. The small boy carried a bunch of jokes cut from the* papers. The woman carries at least a couple of love letters. The small boy carried a secret mis­ sive in which the announcement of a neighborhood cock fight was niysteri- ously indicated in rubbed red chalk. The woman carries a bargain sale announcement. In addition the woman carries three postage stamps shriveled up and dam­ aged, one broken glove clasp, one milk bottle "return chock, four mem­ orandum slips, four house key?, two samples and several. varieties of pins.

V ntll the outbreak of the war all .the "glycerin used in Japan was imported- from the United States and European countries, notes' Finance and Com­ merce (Shanghai), but the enormous demand resulting from the w ar led to the establishment of a factory under the protection of the Japanese govern­ ment, which has reduced- somewhat the volume of imports of glycerin. Orig­ inally the m anufacturers of glycerin In' Japan used only fish oil, but are now adding to the supply by using tallow, vegetable wax and coconut and bean oils. China’s imports of glycerin dur­ ing 1920 showed a fair increase. Out of a total valued at about 107,000 haik- wan taels, the United - Kingdom sup­ plied over GOjOOO taels’ worth; Japan, 25,000 taels; the United States, 11,000 taels; the Netherlands, 3,000 taels, and Switzerland, 2,500- taels, while Ger­ many jilso sent some small supplies. Shanghai is the largest absorbing cen­ ter, taking about 63, per cent o f the to­ tal importations of"glycerin into Chinar (The average value of the. Iiaikwan tael for“1920 was $1.24 gold.)

Mr. Kred M. Falmer’s questions shall liave attention first. I number my answers. l3t. question was on Cal 5:1 »n(! James, 2:12 The first has reference to that, all covenant !,nill around and composed of the ten commandments, Deut 4:13. The penalty of immediate death attach rd to Sabiiath breaking and other iiiIatinrs is what made it, sueha toke The second has reference to the law of faith which is in the Se cnnd covenant We are under a new law Th,- law is changed Heb. 7:12 Ii is a perfect law of liberty. James 1:25 It makes men free from that cld Sabbath law, which if man sined bv breaking he was put to death, hence called law of sin and death Hum 8:2.3 The above are the two laws Paul and James so often speak about Therewerenottwo sets of laws u-:il-.jr just one covenant in the time of Hose*. Suchan idea is re- dicul u s. Now read: Gal1- 4:24; 3rd 23-27; Heb. 8:6,7; 2nd Cor 3:5 11. I am anxious for all ‘to see that there are just two covenants, two sets 0 f laws. J ust one covenant, one c ide of laws was given by the Lord through Moses. Theothercovenaht was given by Jesus Christ.. They are ca Ld th.e first covenant and the second covenant. Proof. ‘'For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no­ place have been sought for the se­ cond.” Heb. 8:7,8 And Paul most certainly shows that th.e ten com­ mandments were linked together with the other- covenant. Proof Theti veri'y the first covenant/ had also ordinances of divine’ services" * * * the candlestick, table, shew bread, censer, golden pot manna, Aaron’s rod, and the tables of the covenant.” Heb. 9:1-4 Be sure to notice he puts things not on the ta­ bles of stone under the first coven ant together; links them up as one covenant. I would also call special attention to the fact that the tabernacle was a type of both the church and Heav en, and the Sabbath point of the covenant, is a type of the Sabbath rest which remaineth in Heaven Thismakesiteasy to see the "The Sabbath day is certainly a shadow of things to come." Cd, 2:16 R V Now turn to another question oh- Heb. 4:9. And read from the 7th to Ilth verses, and you will see that Jesus, or Joshua, R V. spoke of an­ other day, a Sabbath rest for God’s people; that. Christ ceased from his work as God did from his. and has entered into this Sabbath of; then it says: Let us labor therefore to en­ ter into that rest,” So we see the Sabbath rest is in Heaven. 2. You ask about Matt. 24:20. Christ did not command them, to keep the Sab bath in this any more than he com­ manded them to keep- the winter He wanted his deciples to get away, so he said flee into the mountains'V " Iu In winter was a perilous time (0 flee and live in the mountains, 0 n the Sabbath the gates of Jerusalem were shut and guarded by order of the Jews Proof: “ I charged that the gates be shut * * * and not-be opened till after the Sabbath.” Nehe 13:19 Now all see, the point. On Like 13:56 is a question. Thise woman did not now consider -that they were under a new order of tlrngs, a new law. This new law was made known after Chri3t'abolish ed death 2 Tim 2:10 The new law was to go forth from Jerusalem Luke. 24(47. On Pentecost it began to be preach­ ed to every ceature in a few- years Tnby said tney declared-all the coun­ sel of Cod.. Acts. 20:27 And not a time .did they command Sabbath keeping At the time Christ lay in the g; ave these women, nor the ap ostles either, did not know nor be Heve a new—law would be given. Christ was dead you see, and' they actually came to ariionet him-..after he rose, not believing he Would rise. Luke. 24:1-11 ~~The opostlbs did riot balieve when the woMari;^ when^thp w omen told them Ghfisti was nliVe'.1 Verse IjL Yes, these, tyo m e ^ li^ t Lj the Sabbath according to the com­ mandment/but that commandment is not in the New Testament. 3 Christ did not command us to keep anv day as a Sabbath in which no work was tobedode; So we have no day to thus keep, said to be a sign. No such is tobe found in the new coven­ ant. Youalso refer to Isa.- 42:21, on exalting.the law. Certainly while in force God did exalt his law- But listen: " If the ministration of death written and engraven in stone was glorious * * * whcih glory .was to be done away * * * Forifthat which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious 2. - Cor.>-3:7 11 How on earth can it be made plainer that.the old law written on stones has been done away? Mr. Palmer says the -Iabbath wili be kept in the new earth is-per Isa. 6G;23; but this verse don’t say so Verse 22 says their seed shall remain as long as the new earth, but the verse is a complete sentence. There will be no seven day week In the new earth, for there shall be no night there. Your verse'says from moon to new moon too, but theie will be no.sun and moon there -Rev. 22:5 So your verse does not teach what you claim. ~ ' Ihsve answered several o f your questions in each number. I how call attention to the fact that David foretold a new day: Hear him, "The stone which lhe builders refused is become the head of the corner * » -* This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Pa. 118:22 24 Jesus was a tried stone Isa. 28:16 He was made the-head stone in^the day of his • resurrection. Rom. 1:4; Eph-. 1:20 28 A d ayofjo v and gladness; and it was upon the first day of the week. Luke,14:l s This yery new day marks the time 'Oi the-grTaSst'e ent that has ever transpired on this earth the resurrection of Jesus ChrirL JohntheDivinesajd: Iw as in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trun - pet,” Rev. 1:10 The Lord's day here mentioned is most certainly that day which the Lord made. Yes, made famous in connection with the glorious resurrection of Jesus CFTrist who here said to John. “ I am F e* ihat liveth and was dead; and behold I am alive foreverroore.” Verses 17.-18. Thhdeciples met upon to first day of the week to break bread Acts. 20;7 Paul then preached to them. He had be at Troas with them on the day before over the. Sabbath day, but met on the first day of the week. We learn from this- that in Paul’s; time Christians niet on the first' day of the week to break bread, but no man can show where they ever, did do so on the Sabbath day. . Anotrerabsolute fact is notewor­ thy. Every standard historian tells us that meeting on the first day of the week was commonly practiced In apostolic times and on and on con- tinously afterwards., "• I have tried to be brief, so have ju 3t quoted in part many times, but rve given references.

Editor Record:—I note your edi­ torial in last week's issue enquiring when the “ Mocksville Consolidattd School Dirtrict” was going to build a bigger and better school building. I shall not discuss the suit now pending in our court to be tried at next term, but I w ill say- this, we should do-now what !should have been done last summer-put up two or three classrooms on the campus, which could be done at noniim l cost, and had it been done (as Coc- leemee has done) all. the children could have been accommodated for the present school year, and at very small cost to the tax payers com­ pared to the $4 5,0 0 0 .0 0 bond iasue and thus relieve our people of some of the burdens of higher taxes un­ til times get better or at least im­ prove, and our people are in a bet­ ter condition to bear the additional burdens. I am not opposed to a new and better school building in Mocksville, but our town is already in debt and our -people are feeling the weight of the tax bv.r.lens—we have nothing here to tax but the people’s homes, and last year little was made on the farms and all our business meu are feeling' the p'n .h —so many people are iu debt—so many people are out of work, aud still others who w ill be compelled to go in debt the present year, that " we should at least take all these things into consideration at this time. Certainly people iu our town are like the picture I once saw in a paper years ago— a crowd of young men had rigged up a prairie schoon­ er and started on a trip, to Pike's poster arid fastened it on the side of the wagon, on which was engraved the following words, “ Pike’s Peak or Best,” and it is Bonds, more Bonds or Bust with the Bonders. These be times for serious reflections and thought, even if the Bonders are in the saddle. E- H . MORRIS. P.

He didn't wait for a reply, but turned away with By Heck. He went to the home ot the Hecks ostensibly to have his fortune told—really, to get his dinner. The old woman didn’t like him, but her Inborn spirit of hos­ pitality wouldn’t permit her to refuse him a meal. She felt th a t she was almost even with him when, after ShuiBing and reading the cards, she told him that It would be wise for him to look out for a big, tall, grey- eyed young man with an oak tree In one hand and a couple of cliffs In the other. • » * * * * e Dale told Major Bradley and John Moreland of that which Goff had said to him at the gate. The major sug­ gested forthwith that he go to meet the man; it couldn’t possibly do any harm, and there was a chance that he would learn something of GoiFs In­ tentions. So Dale went. Golf was already there, waiting. He was sitting on a stone on the More­ land side of the fiver, whittling idly. When he saw Dale approaching, he smiled and nodded, rose and pocketed his knife. “I want to make you an offer for that coal,’’ lie said at once. “AU right,” Dale replied. "If your offer Is big enough, It will be consid­ ered. But no shyster price is going to get that coal, Goff.” Goff frowned queasily. “Yon don’t know coal, Mr. Dale. You don’t know the business of min­ ing—or I’ve got you sized up wrong. Thousands of men have gone, busted trying to do things they weren’t used to doing. There’s a big chance, too, that the coal isn’t what It looks to be on the surface. You’d better take a sure thing, and avoid a possibility of loss, i’ll give you five thousand, spot rash, for that coal.” Dale shook his head. “You’ll have to come heavier than that, y’know, if you get the Moreland coal.” . “And an extra thousand for your­ self!” Dale laughed a low, queer laugh. "You amuse me, Goff.” said he. “Seems to me you’ve missed yom / call­ ing In life. W hat a peach of a king- Villnln you’d make in melodrama! You wouldn’t have to act, either; you’d have to be just your natural.self. And you mnke me mad. too, Goff. -Because I'm on the square with the More- Iands and everybody else—now, get that!" The corners of the shyster coal man’s month came down. “Oh, bosh—don’t pass me that vir­ tue stuff. Every'-man has his prica» •ilgh or low. You've got yours, and I’ve got mine. Ill give you five thou­ sand, spot cash, If you’ll persuade John Moreland to sell to me for five thousand, and nobody’ll ever kpow yon got a rakedown from me. It’s all the coal Is worth, that tin thousand; Well, yes?” Dale was of the type that goes pale Wiih anger, and he was pale now. He clenched bis hands. “You can’t insult me like that and get away with it, Goff,” he clipped. “We’re going to fight, Goff, and I’m going to put ’ a licking on you that fifteen horses can’t pull off. Get me?” He threw aside his coat and rolled Ws sleeves to his elbows. Henderson Goff i-an j,ig r|ght j,and quickly to a v« r irouser pocket and brought back * stub-nosed automatic pistol, which he turned threateningly toward HUi “Go easy, friend,” ,Goff said very complacently. "There’s no use in getting sore. I want the coal; that’s all._ If I can’t get it by fair means, m .g e t it In another way. Oh, I don’t mind telling you ; one man's oath is as good In court as another man’s. ■- If you don’t take me up at ten thousand, I’ll give you so much trouble' that you’ll be glad to sell it to me later for half that amount. The Balls think they own a big interest In that coal I There’s a lot of them, too, and they can keep you from working the mine. Well, I can’t waste time in dickering with you. W hat do you say?” “I say,” and Dale smiled an odd lit­ tle smile, “that your plan appears to be. perfect, except that you’ve over­ looked one or two important details. For instance, there’s the. law, y’know,” " T h e . law—now don't go and fool yourself I” exclaimed Goff. “The state couldn’t afford to keep a hundred men -here, month in and month out, Just to protect your little mine. My patience is about gone. Dale—for the last time, what do you say?” “I say that TH beat you at any game you put up against me,” very quietly. “Furthermore, I say that you are a coward and a scoundrel, and that you haven’t got the insides In you I S t And He Began to Raise the Wieked- Looking Pistol As Though He Meant .!■to Fire. to fight me a fair man’s fight If you'll only pocket that thing you’ve got in your hand, TH mow down half an acre of meadow bush w ith your body.” The other turned red, then white, then red again. Bill Dale’s words had lashed him keenly. His eyes’ became like hard black Deads, and he began to raise the wicked-looking pistol as though lie m eant to fire. Then there was the- sound of a breaking twig behind him, and a voice drawled out: “Drap It, Mister—drap the, funny little gun, or the middle o’ Tarment is yore po’tion right now I" It was tlie moonshiner, By Heck, and his rifle was leveled. Goff dropped the pistol,. Heck grinned, advanced slowly, took up the weapon that the hillfolk call a “coward’s gun” and tossed it Into the river. "How git—cut the mustard—light a rag away from hero,” he ordered, “afore I let Bill Dale-loose on ye!” Goff-went away rapidly. “I wonder If you heard him say anything that would make you valu­ able as a witness,” !buttered .Dale, “in the event we want to have him ar­ rested?” “I heerd you tell him ’at he was afeard to fight ye a fair man’s fight, and 'at ef he’d pocket that thing he held In his hand ye’d mow down twen­ ty acres o' meadow bush with his low- down body—that’d be yaliyable in co’te wouldn’t it?” , Dale smiled. Then he frowned. CHAPTER IX. A Signal Victory, The. mining man Hayes, the major and John Moreland were waiting at Ihe gate, when Dale, accompanied b,v the moonshiner, returned to the cabin. Dale was the first to speak. He told briefly of that which had taken place at the-blown-down sycamore, and at the last of It By Heck straightened proudly. . . .“I be dadjimmed ef I hadn't ha pumped him so full o’ lead ’at the’ couldn't enough o’ men got around him to tote off his corbst, r t he hadn’t ha' dropped the coward’s gun,” By Heck declared as fiercely ts . he. could. “’Cause maw she seed ln tba cup ’at Bill D ale- was a-goln’ to be a right pa’tlckler friend o’ mine, IgoA and I has a habit o’ takln’ keer o’ my friends. Now thar was my Unffe BI!}, him what could Jump a sixtoen-rall * — •— —- ” - .... “It was a nine-rail fence,' By,” im­ patiently cut In '-John. Moreland. “You’ve done told that so much ’at it’s dang nigh wore out.. S’posen ye go back thar to the orchard ahlnd o’ the house and see what Cale and Luke’s a-doln’; hey, By?” Heck nodded and went toward the orchard. He knew they didn't want? him to overhear what they were going’ to say, but It didn’t offend him. It wasn’t easy to offend the good-natured Heck. ' s Moreland turned to Dale. “Well?” JDale turned to Hayes. “We’re going to begin' the building of the little railroad at the earliest possible moment. And because L don’t know anything about the work. I’m going to ask you to take the lead. Now, there-m ay be some fighting. I don’t want you to go into this thing blind­ ly, you see. If you’re going to with­ draw at all, do it now.” “I’m not a stranger to fighting,” Hayes replied' smilingly^ “Fve been through half a dozen coal strikes. I think you may count on me, Mr. Dale.” , “Then lay out a plan for immedi­ ate action.” JT d suggest," acquiesced Hayes, “that we send to the little town' In the lowland for a supply of picks and shovels, axes and saws, hammers, drills, and explosives. In' the mean­ time, you and I can stake out the way for the track.” ’ It sounded businesslike Dale thbught. Within the hour John Moreland and, his son Caleb started for CartersviUe on foot, and in the older man’s pocket was money sufficient to buy the things that were needed. Dale and Hayes set out for the north end of David Moreland’s mountain, and each of them carried a hand-ax l'or making stakes, U was not often that the quiet Hayes permitted himself to go into raptures over anything; however, he went ,in­ to raptures over the Moreland coal. it was, he declared, • one of the best propositions he had ever seen. It was no wonder that Henderson Goff was determined to get possession of it, he said. Then they went to work. By sundown two days later’they had chosen the route for the narrow-gauge railroad and set stakes accordingly. Hayes told his general manager that with a good force of men the last rail’ could be put down within two months. During those two days they had several times seen Henderson Goff in company with Black Adam Ball and some of his relatives. Once they had come upon Goff talking earnestly with Saul Littleford, the Mg, bearded, gaunt brother of the Littleford chief. Hayes reminded Dale of this', and said to him further: "Goff will have the Littlefords on his side the first thing you know! Maybe some of the Littlefords, as well as some of the Balls, knew about this coal before David Idoreland gof his mountain by state’s grant a t a few cents per acre. If you’ll take my advice, Mr. Dale, you’ll make friends o f these two sets just as quick as you can.” Dale thrust his hand-ax inside his belt and turned to the mining expert. “D’you know, I was thinking of that, same thing when you spoke,” he re­ plied. “And I believe I can manage it, now that Miss Littleford’s accidental wounding has given the(old feud such a big blow. I’m fairly sure I Can man­ age it so far as Ben Littleford is con­ cerned ; it’s John that’s going to be hard to bring to taw. He should be home this evening, if he’s had good luck, and I’ll tackle him as soon as he comes.” Together they started across David Moreland’s mountain, ^walking rapidly, with Dale leading. •;) Darkness came down on them when they had covered half the distance. The great hemlocks and poplars loomed spectral and gaunt iff the early starlight. The alm ost impenetrable thickets of laurel and Ivy whispered uncanny , things, and their seas of pink and snowy bloom looked somehow ghostly. Now and then there was the pattering of some little animal’s feet on the dry, hard leaves of bygone years. A solitary brown owl poured out its heart In weird and melancholy cries to the night it loved. There was the faint, far-off baying of a hound, and the soft swish of a nighthawk’s wings. ■ Men from the core of civilization must feel these things of the wilder­ ness.- . . . Suddenly Dale drew back and stood still. In the trail ahead, standing as motionless as the trees about him, was ■the tall figure of a man. It was almost as though he were there to bar the "way.’ The two went on slowly. The figure- didn’t move. Dale spoke, and'the form, came to life. It was By H eckphe was leaning on the muzzle of bis rifle. ■-■ “It’s you; is it, Bill, old boy?” H e yawned sluggishly. “I was a-walHn’ hgre for you. ■ I reckon I m ust ha’ went to sleep a-standin’. here, on my feet! I’ve got news,-Bill.” . “Out with i t ’” “I’ve, been a-trailin' Henderson Goff all -day," Heck said Ifl guarded tones.; “He’s shore got -'.them lowdown Baib Jto bellevin’ they’re already million- hairs." “I knew that,” said D ale “T hat's not news.” ’ “But that ain’t all,” By Heck went on. “Goff’s got Saul Littleford, too— lock, stock, bar’] and sights. He owns Saul jest the same as I own my old spotted 'coon dawg Dime. Saul he gits him a job a-bein’ mine boss, and what other Littlefords ’at will stick gits jobs a-dlggin’ the black di’mont at two dollars a day. Asides,' all of ’em is to have a big lot o' money when the dlvidin'-up time comes, says Goff.” “Much obliged to you, By,” Dale ac­ knowledged. “Let’s go; 'bout face, By! I’m goin’ to tie a hard knot in that villainous game of Henderson Goff’s.” They reached John Moreland’s cabin less than an hour later. - Moreland and his son had just returned from Gartersville, and Dale learned through Hayes that the two hillmen had shown good judgment and some business sense In making their purchases. When the evening meal was over Dale drew John Moreland out to the cabin yard, where the many old-fash­ ioned flowers made the night air sweet with their blended odors.- For a mo­ ment Dale stood looking toward the very bright stars and thinking; then he told the big man at his side of Goff’s plan concerning the Littlefords, and strongly urged the making of friendship between the two clans, “The snake!” mumbled John More­ land. He appeared to be worried- about it. He folded his arms, walked to the gate and back to Dale without uttering an­ other word. It was hard Tor him to throw down completely the hatred of years upon years. Emi It been any other person than Bill Dale, a tighter after his own heart, who had asked it, he never would have even consid­ ered It; he would have said quickly: "W ell thrash the Balls and the Lit­ tlefords, too !” The younger man read something of the other’s thoughts. “With the help of the law," said he, “we might whip them all. But it would mean a great deal of bloodshed at best. The Littlefords are Babe’s people, y’know. I like Babe. You like her, too, or you never would have gone with her to the hospital—now don’t you?” “I reckon I cain’t deny,” the More­ land leader muttered, “ ’at I like Babe Littleford. She ain’t like none o’ the rest of ’em, Bill.” Dale w ent on : “AU there 'is to do'to enlist the Lit­ tlefords on- our side is this: you go to old Ben and say to him : ‘Let’s begin anew; let's be friends, your people and my people, you and me.’ He’ll be glad you did It. Then it will be easy sailing for us. The Balls never would dare' to attack such a force as the Morelands and the Littlefords com­ bined. Don’t you see? I admit it will be something of a sacrifice on your part.. But a_ man Mke you can make sacrifices. Any man who Is big enough to go down on his knees and ask the blessing ot the Almighty on his enemies is big enough to make sacrifice. Come—let’s go over and see Ben Littleford now ; won't you?" The mountaineer didn’t answer. “You won’t throttle the cause born In David Moreland’s good heart on ac­ count of a little personal pride-ft *■««- "The Snakel" Mumbled John Moreland. know you won’t!” Dale said earnestly. Moreland straightened. ; "You mean well,” he said slowly. “I think you’re one o’ the very best men In the world, Bill Dale. You-often make me think o’ pore David himself. But I’m afeared ye don't q u ite under­ stand, Bill. Itve seed my own son die from a Littleford’s bullet. To go and offer to be friends with a m an.who c ish t be the sam* one 'a t killed'my. boy is a pow'ful bard thing to do. Tm afeard ye doD’t quite onderstand.” “It was a terrible thing, .I know,” said Dale. "But it was the fortunes, of war. The Littlefords have endured the fortunes of w ar In exactly- the same way. Come with m e; let’s go. I need your help; I can do very littlo without your help. Come, John More­ land I” The hlllman replied slowly: “Well, PU go with ye. over thar. But Ben he'll baf to make the fust, break a, a-beln’ friends, 'cause Fm purty shore I never will. As soon as I git my hat, Bill.” - He went to the front porch and took from a chairpost his broad- rimmed headgear. Then the two set out. They crossed an ox-wagon road, a sweet-scented meadow, the river by means of the blown-down sycamore, another sweet-scented meadow and another ox-wagon road, and entered the cabin yard of the Littleford chief. Here, too, many old-fashioned flowers were in bloom; a cane fishingpole, slender and white, leaned against the porch; it made Dale think of Babe. . . . “You w ait out here," whispered Dale, with a hand on his companion’s arm. ‘T il go in and see if I can per­ suade Littleford to make -Gie advance. Tm pretty sure I can.” He started forward when a hound rose from the stone step and growled wamingly. At that Dale halted and sang out: “Hello. Ben!” The front door swung open, creak­ ing on wooden • hinges, and Babe’s fa­ ther, bareheaded and with a lamp In his hand, appeared In the doorway. He knew the voice that bad summoned him. “Come right In, Mr. Dale,” he in­ vited with the utmost cordiality. “Come right in!” He scolded the dog away, and Dale entered the primitive home. He was shown Into the best room, where he dropped easily Into a roomy old rock­ er that was lined with an untanned sheepskin. Ben Littleford put the lamp on a crude tabfe, drew up an­ other chair, and sat down facing his visitor. “I hope ye ain’t jest happened over to' ar minute oTctwo on business,” he drawled; “I hope ye’ve come to spend the night wi’ me, anyway.” ‘Tm here in the Interests of peace,” Dale began, looking at the billman squarely. . “I want you Littlefords to be on good terms with your neigh­ bors, the Morelands. John is out there at your gate now; he is waiting for you to ask him in and say to him ' ‘Let’s begin anew; let’s be friends, your people and my people,, you and me.’ You want that, don’t you, Ben? Babe did, I’m su re” 'Littleford frowned, laced his big fin­ gers together and twirled his big thumbs. Now that he was once more at home, with assurance that his daughter would entirely recover, he was no longer w eak; he had all hie old courage and all his old, stubborn bill pride back. ‘TH ax John in,” he finally de­ cided, “but he’ll h a t to make the. fust break a t a-bein’ friends. Me axin1 him Into my house is a purty durnei good start toward friendship, ain’t it?” He arose, took up the lamp, walked to the front door and opened It, and called into the night: “Won’t ye come in, John?” “I reckon I will, Ben,” was the lazy answer. “Fo' a minute, anyhow. Bir' I reckon I cain’t stay long." Moreland followed Littleford Intc the best room. Littleford put the lamp beside the worn leather-bound Bible on the table,'and-they sat down.. They looked steadily at each other, and Dale saw plainly that both were Ul at ease. Surely, thought Moreland, be had done a great deal when he had come into his old enemy’s bouse. Surely, thought Littleford, he had done a great deal when he had asked John Morefand Into his home. rYan wonderful, place, my (TO BE CONTINUED.) "Code of Hammurabi."

POLICY OF ADiNISTRAIION HOUSE APPROPRIATION COMMIT- TEE CUTS FUEL DEFICIENCY BILL TO BONE. Naval Officials Regard Situation as ourious, But Secretary Denby Declines to Comment. Washington.—Necessity of tying up every ship in the navy for Jack of fuel to permit operation faced the navy department as an immediate pos­ sibility, due to action of the house appropriations committee In report­ ing out a deficiency item of 36,200,000 for naval fuel to be used during the ren&inder of the fiscal year. The sum is about one-half of the original fuel deficiency estimate submitted by the department. As drawn by the committee, the bill does not provide for an additional appropriation but merely authorizes the department to spend money it might be able to take from other cur­ rent appropriations for fuel up to the limit set. Naval officials are known to regard the situation as serious although Sec­ retary Denby refused to authorize any comment on the action of. the commit­ tee. There were indications, however, that orders must go forward to all parts of the navy almost imme­ diately under which no ship would be permitted to operate under steam for the remainder of the fiscal year, unless administration officials were success­ ful in Inducing congress to make more liberal fuel provisions. While the navy department haB au­ thority under existing law to create deficiencies as an emergency m atter, it is known that the policy of the ad­ m inistration i3 against that practice and that Secretary Denby proposes to keep expenditures of his department within limits of appropriations, if it is possible to do so. In presenting the fuel deficiency sit­ uation to the sub-committee on naval appropriations Secretary Denby point­ ed out that the original estimates for the current year w ere. $37,000,000, which was.ultim ately reduced by the department to $30,000,000 and cut by congress to $17,500,000. Of that sum only $14,040,000 was available tor fleet fuel, and Mr. Den- by explained-that should every ship now in command remain at anchor throughout the year, the total fuel bill to kee^ them under necessary steam in port would amount to $12 350.000, which would, leave the navy only $1,150,000 for operations under way as* against $13,500,000 requested for the 1922 year. BEFORE CMfflEE GOETHALS AND ENGSTRUM; JOIN HANDS TO DEVELOP MUSCLE SHOALS PLANTS. BUTLER TELLS HOUSE PUNS Panama Canal Builder to Take Per­ sonal Charge of Work If Eng- strum Wins OuL V Washington. — George W." Goethals, former m ajor general in the army and builder of the Panama Canal, will take charge of the development of the gov­ ernm ent's war-made projects at Mus­ cle Shoals, Ala., in the event the offer of Frederick .S. Engstrum, North Carolina shipbuilder and engineer, tor tease and completion of the Alabama properties, is accepted by congress, it was announced. Mr. Goethals already has agreed, it was added, to accept the task' of completing the great dam at Muscle Shoals and other projects for Mr Eng- strum. The announcement of the agree­ m ent between Mr. Engstrum and Mr. Goethals was made, by Marion Butler, former senator from North Carolina, in testimony given the house m ilitary committee on the proposal which was under consideration as a competitor to those submitted by Henry Ford and the Alabama Power company. The committee devoted both ses­ sions to an investigation of the Eng­ strum offer, receiving Mr. Engstrum first for a brief introduction of his bid and later examining Mr. Butler, who appeared as legal adviser for Die North Carolinian. Mr. Butler said nitrate and fertilizer production, view­ ed in the sense of their relation to the national defense, was the prime object of the offer' he spoke for, although hydro-electric development would not be neglected. W hile the former senator did not refer to the Ford offer by name, he argued Btrongly against congressional action which would permit the prin­ cipal waterpower project of the South to be controlled by a private concern. Nitratfe and fertilizer production at the shoals, Mr. Butler' said, could be made a national asset, perm itting cheap soil foods for the fanners and reduced prices of foodstuffs for the consumers. In reply to questions by Represen­ tative Stoll, South Carolina,-Mr. But­ ler said the corporation to b e1 created under the Engstrum plan “would cap­ italize itself” until it got to be a “go­ ing concern” and was willing to offer a surety bond of any size the govern­ ment suggested to assure the proper execution of “'e offer.. Both Mr. But­ ler and Mr. Engstrum would be direc­ tors of the corporation, it was stated, in addition to two others who would be designated by the secretaries of w ar and agriculture.

Martin, the president of the Alabama Power com­ pany, in the event congress accepts the offer "of that company for the pur­ chase and development of the govern­ m ent owned steam and w ater power projects at the Shoals. Thorough studies had been made of power m arkets within- a radius of 400 miles of Muscle Shoals, Mr. Mar­ tin said, and applications for power already filed with the power company convinced him there was need .for de­ veloping Muscle Shoals and distribut­ ing the power throughout that section of the country. His company was pre­ pared to serve the public, functioning as a public utility regulated by federal and state laws, he added, and deliver powe • In emergency cases to a greater distance by relay systems! “Development of Muscle Shoals,’ Mrv M artin asserted, "is the last op­ portunity the- public will have In the territory south and west of these to obtain hydro-electric power. If Muscle Shoals is; withdrawn from public ser­ vice, it will r.ot be possible to m eet natural m arkets for power at remote points and probably not even Memphis can be supplied with energy to meet existing demands.’’ Representative Greene, republican, Vermont, contrasted the power: com­ pany’s proposal with the offer sub­ m itted.by Henry Ford, Under the lat­ ter, Mr. Greene believed, much of the power created at the shpals would be used In the m anufacture of fertilizer, parts for automobiles and other com­ modities by a private roncern. The question , was,, he said, w hether the' Ford or Alabama offers would best serve the public policy, adding that the power company did not make any provision In its proposal for fertilizer production.

CANNING, PRESERVING MEATS ^ In many homes, not only - Iii the country but in many small towns. It is an economy ta . preserve meat, if even in sinull quantities.: • In corning beef, m eat froih fat animals makes choicer meat than from thoseluck­ ing in fat. Meat should be corned <as soon as possible after, the m eat, has chilled, but under no circumstances let it freeze. Weigh the meat and allow eight pounds of salt for I(K) poun.ds pf meat. Sprinkle a layer of salt one- QUurter of an inch, in depth in the bot- bottom of the barrel, pack the cuts of meat as closely as possible, making a layer six inches thick, then put a layer of salt and repeat until ail the meat is puc-ked, reserving enough of the salt to uuike a good layer over the top. After standing over night add four pounds of sugar to each IUO pounds of meat, two ounces of baking soda and four ounces of saltpeter, dissolved in a gallon or tepid water. Adil three gallons more of water to cover the meat. Place a hoard with a weight o f iron to keep the meat under the brine. Rusty meat is caused from al­ lowing the m eat' to become exposed to the air. If the brine becomes ropy,. It will have to be poured off and a new brine added; this will sometimes occur in warm weather. Canning Chicken.—Dress and cut up the chicken or leave whole if pre­ ferred. Cover with boiling water and simmer until tender. Remove the bones and cover them with the chick­ en broth;-cook until reduced to one- half. Pack the meat closely In Jnrs, add one teaspoonful of salt to eacb quart and fill up the jar with the hot broth, adjust the rubber and top bnt do not seal tight—the rule is to screw the top down tight then unscrew half­ way round; this allows an equal pres­ sure inside and out of the can and its contents will not hoil out. Cover with boiling water and sterilize In a boiler of cnnner for three rind a half to four hours. Seal at once when re­ moving the jnrs and invert out of a draft. Can the broth in the same way; this 'may be removed in one and one-' half hours. THE OLD NORTH STATE ■V \ r ' • SHORT NOTES OF INTEREST TO CAROLINIANS. .

OPEN CHILD’S BOWELS WITH CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Habit Spreads From .One Fowl to An­ other and Unless Checked Affects Whole Flock. (Prepared by the United StateB Department Ot Agriculture.) Egg eating sometimes becomes a se­ rious vice in a flock, the fowls becom­ ing very fond of eggs when they have learned to eat them. The habit spreads from fowl to fowl and unless checked will often spread through the whole flock. Egg eating usually begins through accident bp eggs being, broken or frozen. See that the nests are prop­ erly supplied with straw or other'nest­ ing material and have them darkened, so that if an egg is accidentally broken the fowls will not be likely to dis­ cover it. Supply plenty of lime in the form of oyster shells, bone or similar substances to insure a firm shell. As soon as it is discovered that a fowl has formed the habit, the fowl should be removed to prevent the spread of Ihe vice. Once formed, It Is difficult to eradicate, and the safest remedy is' the death penalty, say poultry special­ ists of the United States Department of Agriculture. • Forvls. sometimes pluck feathers from themselves and from each other. This Is often caused by too close con­ finement, by the presence of,insect pests, of by improper feeding. IVhen some of tiie fowls of a flock have formed the habit slightly, a wide range with a change of diet, including a plentiful supply of animal feed, and freedom from insect pests, will usual­ ly correct the evil. Above all, see that the fowls have plenty of induce­ ment to exercise. E the habit becomes well formed it Is very troublesome and may necessitate the killing of some of the fowls Id order to stop it.

Traditional Melodies Still In Use, -TfcoughThey Have Not-Bien ., C om m ittedtoP aper.'' Traditional Welsh music has found a place In the "services of the Soman, Catholic cathedral at Westminster. The attention of Dr. R. D. Terry, the organist of the cathedral, was drawn to the-tunes some years ago by David Llovd George.- At service of benedic­ tion recently .the "O Salutaris.hostia” and the -"Tantum ergo” were both sung to ancient Welsh melodies. The tune used for the latter Is one of the prime minister’s favorites. ’ "These old tunes have been wonder­ fully preserved,” Doctor Terry, told a London Dally Mall reporter. “Many of them date from the pre-Kefprma- tion period. For ^centuries they were not written down,"but they were saved bv the Welsh genius for unaccom­ panied singing. They ,were handed down ftom one generation to another.: “Many Of them have been recovered and published In Welsh hymnals, but unhappily -In too many cases their 'harmonies and even Hieir melodies were revised In accordance with the musical Ideals of -the last century. “It is stilL possible, however, to hear them sung In all the beauty of their original form in remote Welsh villages, and intelligent Welsh mu­ sicians of today are realizing how. very much- more -beautiful these old versions "are. Dr. Walford -Davies, a Welshman who is now professor of music at the University of Wales, may be trusted to see that good care is taken of them.” COULD NOT ACCEPT REWARD But the-Druggist Must Have Had HI* Opinion of Value Woman Put on His Services.’ The druggist had stopped In the middle of putting up a difficult pre­ scription add deftly removed from the woman's eye thq cinder that had been causing her groat pain.

It was a treasure blast, especially set for a group of Galifornia scientists who visited the . lime pits which have given forth molars of the two-toed horse, the saber-toothed ti­ ger, the’giant sloth and "other, peculiar inhabitants of the jungles, which ex­ isted hereabouts a half a: million years or more before Los Angelos was thought of. . , - A whole mass of interesting discov­ eries was made In the debris of the explosion. Something of: the size of these prehistoric monsters: may be gleaned from the fact that one tooth measures about 15 inches across the top and is from 18 to 24 inches long.

'"T b e limited funds:of the park department allow it to employ only 18 men for their care. That, means .that each, man, if it were numanly possible, would have to personally attend to practically 10,000 trees.' The result Is that 2,500 trees died-In New York last year, most of which were splendid -shade trees. close>to-100 years-old. The rate, of loss- is increasing rapidly. Boston Pipe Arch Bridge Unique.

FRENCH FARMERS MADE GAINS Assertion That They Realized Large Financial Benefits From the . W ar Seems Reasonable. ■ A class of French society that guinea large financial benefits from the war is the farmers. They have become of late a great force in French politics, thus far only defensively, in ^voiding taxation, but - later they will surely grow more aggressive. In the old days pi any, if not most, of them used to rent the land they tilled, but now the teuant farm er has ceased to exist—they have all recently bought their farms. There were 2,000,000 American soldiers in France, and it 13 , estimated that, -on an average, they | spent a dollar a day apiece out of their j own pockets; tins makes $2,000,0 0 0 1. -a day. and - most of it went to the I French farmers, to say nothing of the millions spent by our government to _ supply-rations to these very soldiers. The difference between the city profi­ teers and the farm ers is that the for­ mer are few, while the lafter represent a very large vote, which has the same results that- it would have in any other republic, viz., those representing tlnrlarge vote are not taxed! The needs of the French budget will doubtless bring about a correction of this state of affairs, when-the farm er vote will have to^pass from the de­ fensive to Uie aggressive.—G. H .

Editor Record:—A t our house this week there was a coincident in the study of the Sabbath question. W. J. Koonte had an article in The Record, ami Mary Edith W ortley had an article in the Hickory Mer­ cury. Will The Record please copy tlie Mercury article, as. it answers \V. ]. Kooutz completely. j. p. Burton, Hickory, N . C. Adam was created the Sixth day, a day latcr known as “preparation dav" among the Children of Isreal and all other people that desired to obey the only and true God. I f the law of God, the ten commandments was known by Adam, then he kept the First Sabbath w ith God, (Christ) his creator. From the fol­ lowing scriptures, we are covinced that Adamdid know the moral law, tlie ten commandments: Sin is the transgression of the law—I John 3-4. Where no law is, there is no tliansgression—Romans, 4 :5 The wage of sin is death— Romans, 6 :2 3 Death reigned from Adam to Moses (Romans 5:15) and more—for more than to Moses—it will reign to the end of the world. “ Wherefore as by oi:e man (Adam) sinendered in­ to the world and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men for all have sinned” —Romans 5 :12 . “Where no law is, there is Ijo trans­ gression”—Romans 1-15 llThe law convinces of sin and transgres­ sion—Janies 2:9 . From the study of the foregoing scriptures, the following logical con­ clusions may be decided as undenia­ ble evidence: T. Sin was known is such, and w.is committed from Eden to Sinai. Siu is the transgression of the (M or­ al ) laws; hence, the moral law ex­ isted from Eden to Sinai. 2. Death reigned from Adam to Moses as the result of sin, and will reign to the close when the body of siu will be destroyed. 3. Sin is not imputed' where there is no law. Siu was'imgutat ed before it was given from Sinai. The things forbidden by each of the ten commandments were under stood as molar obligations by those living before the Exodus: First commandment: Gen. 3 3 :1 4 Second comuia'udmeiit: Geu. 3 1 :19, a .2 5 ;3 5 :2 ,4 . Third commandment: Lev. 1 8:2 1 , Fourth. E x .'i 6th chapter; Gen. 2 1-3 8:10-12: 2 9; 27-2 8. , Fifth, Geu. 9 :20-2 5. Sixth, Gen, 4 :8 -11, 2 3, 2 4 ; 9 :5 -6 . Seventh, Gen. 2 0 :5 9; 3 9 :7-9 . Eight, Gen. 3 0:3 3; 31:19, 3 0 , 3 2 ; 4+:S. Ninth, Gen. 3 9 : 7-2 0. The tenth commandment must be broken before the eight can be; one must cover before he steals. The third commandment is not specially mentioned in' Genesis, but its viola­ tions was one of the nations living m Canaan before its possesion by Isreal—Lev. 1 8:21-27. Adam was created the Sixth day. The following day, the Seventh, was the Sabbath. I f Adam had not remembered the Sabbath day and rested and keipt it holy w ith his Creator, he would have become transgressor from the beginning. As it was. he lived holy for a season. AVe fell when he coveted.to be wise as gods, knowing good and evil: Hie ,violated the tenth command ment—“ Thou shall not covet;” . VAfilam coveted the forbidden fruit ransgressicra becatflePk sin­ ner and subject to death as God had told him. Immediately, he was driven out of Eden. Cherum- a]id a.flaming sword were placed fo guard the Tree; of Life, lest he (Adam) should put .forth, his hand take and eat thereof! and live for­ ever. God had said if lie trans­ gressed, he (Adam ) should surely “ie. Hence he no longer had ,ac­ cess to the tree of life which would have perpetulated his existence, % t the condemnation of death rest ed upon him and Uis race. LiuIe Stingers From Yellow Jacket. The chief complaint the Demo­ crats seem to make against the Re­ publican administration isc that it can't work miracles It ill l>ecomes John Sharpe W il­ liams to be harping about tained elections since he hales from a state where the purity of the ballot box is protectedby shot guns and grand­ father clauses. W e don’t know whether Henry Ford can succeed in jerking, high- grade fertilizer out of the air or not- but his car have jerked more arms out of place and back out of joints than anything ever set on four wheels. Congress has cut off the appro­ priation for joint maneuvering of the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. Mar- ing cuts everywhere. 'Wlien Jose­ phus Danie:s was boss of the Navy the blame thing was "maneuver­ ing” all the time. It is a blamed sight harder to pay debt than to make them. The work of the Democrats was creating debts and the biggist‘job for the Republicans now is to try to pay them off. And still the people cuss because the Harding admistration is hard at the job. About one-third df the thirty billion dollars that the Wilson ad­ ministration raised by high taxes and the sale of Liberty bonds wds practically given to the nations of Europe. The- Democrats call it a “ loan” but we haven’t gorton back a cent; not even of interest. ' •If Henry Ford don’t do any better getting fertilizer out of the air than he <did in getting ,the sol-, diers out of the trenches, MiiseIe Shoais won’t benefit the average farmer in Lhe South as much as the anfount of the damages Henry got out of the Chicago Tribune when he sued it for a million dollars. Little Jimmy Cox says the Dem­ ocrats are ready for the next fight and ,that the League of Nations is coining back. If Jimmy thinks that way, let him enjoy himself. B u tif theDems never come back, till the League of Nations, then the Democratic party w ill cotinue to repose in the ash barrel for all time to come. On the foreign . debt question it o>ks as we'll be damned if they pay and we w ill be damned if they don’t. If the nation don't pay they say business can't revive. I f the nations do pay and it is done in goods, then it means that capital in­ vested in manufacture and labor would be ruinedjti this country. If war is hell then the aftermath of. war is more hell. The TroaUe With The Town. In every town conditions are Qiore or less the same. There are-boosters and knockers and the town is no bat ter or worse than these niake it or hold it back. The following from The Carolina Banner, Sanford is wo-th thinking about; "Something we hear people ask; What’a the matter with the town?’ They may ask the question as to their own town, or as to some other town. "The'answer is that there is noth ingthe matter with the town. Il! there is anything the matter. H : is with the people who live in-the town for the town is.made up of the peo pie who'live in thettown. "Ifitisaeo o d town, it is because it 13 made up of good people. I t is a dead town, or a wicked town, it because it is made up-of non- pro gressive deople or wjeked people. ‘ Keep this'idea in mind, and you will more quickly locate the trouble if there is one.” . ,' .‘ Religion is the essential.'

' Every week comes to the News and to probably every other rjitral paper in the United Sates a " lot of mail that offers material to the editor to print. The subject covered are numerous, and the space asked foi would take most of the paper each week. Some of it lias merit and is> used, but'the majority is ignored for the two.reasons that it.is not of concern to the readers of the News and the lack of room to .print it. But of all that drifts in this way probably the most illogical is a ser­ ies of bulletins'-.from the National Fertilizer Association, of Philadel­ phia; whatever that is.’ The drift of the bulletins is \that is. The drift of the bulletins is an antagon­ ism toward the Muscies Shoals plant which Henry Ford is ptopos ijig to lease from the grovernmeiit to make fertilizer. The bulletins Say he can not make ammonia there at a price to complete with the pre­ sent product, and that if he under­ takes the work he w ill make too much or in not being able to make it at a price that w ill allow it to^sell, is sprictly M r.,.Fords affair.' And that the National Fertilizer Asso­ ciation of Philadelphia :is worried about Mr. Ford is the association’s affairs. But this is pretty ^vell known, that Henry Ford has been fairly succes^fiil in business so far, aud perhaps lie knows what he can do as well those uneasy Philadel­ phia folks do. A t any rate the news cannot stop him, and what is worse, it would not if it c o u ld .Thishayseed paper does not scare; much^at^he/J^ea ^jif too much fertilizer for the country , nor. at the prospect that M r. Ford is biting off more thrn he w ill be able to chew. And ifFord proppses to make fertilizer at Muscle Shoals by the synthetic process, which the association says is more expensive, that is still M r1. Ford’s own funer­ al, and probably he w ill see that the ceremony is probably conducted.-— Moore County News. I H SHOULD. DIE TONIGHT.

' Davie county was one among the first five counties in the State to go over the top in the near East Relief drive. Davie always does her part. Governor Morrison is a mighty busy man these days or he would answer that article in the Marsh- ville Home concerning the Gover­ nor’s “ agricultural program.” Judge Long won out in his fight against having to pay income tax on his salary, which w ill save the Judge a few dollars bist w ill cost him a good many votes should he ever aspire to office again. A full list of all the churches in Davie county will be found on the 8th page of today's Record. Turn your paper over and read an inter- eking article on why you should go to church Sunday. So far as we know not a member of the town board from mayor to the last name ori the list takes The Record. We doubt not that some of the brethren read the nice things we-say about them, but they have to borrw their neighbor's paper to enjoy this-pleasure. y The Republican State Conven­ tion will meet in Winston-Salem on Wednesday, April 12th. John -M. Morehead, National Committeeman from North Carolina, and Chas. A. Reynolds, State Chairman, did not resign their respective positions at the Executive Committee meeting at Raleigh last Wednesday, as it was reported that thfey would do. North Carolina is a. Democratic state and has been for more than twenty years, but we are away d.iwn toward the bottom .of the list when it comes to illiteracy. This w ill do doubt be a surprise to Editor Sell; of the Cooleemee Journal, who thinks that if Davie county' would go Demociatic ignorance would vanish like the morning mist. The states that make the best showing along educational lines are Repnb lican states, while our Democratic states are generally to found far down the list. We print these facts to keep history straight. The tfooleemee Journal, in its is­ sue of Match 9 , devotes consider­ able space trying to prove that the Record editor voted against consol­ idated schools for Mocksville. If Editor Sell will look at the regis tration books he will find that Edi­ tor Stroud voted for the. consoli­ dated school and has no apologies to make for doing so. If our school? -are not what they ought to be in Davie county it seems to us that the democrats are responsible for they are running, or trying to run them. Two of the- gentlemen who did ,the hardest fighting to de­ feat the consolidation of schools in Mocksvillle are leading democrats, and one of them is now holding an office. Mocksville Library Report.

The Record lacks a whole lot of being the best weekly paper in North Carolina, for there are many larger and better papers than ours, but we believe that we have the best paper in Dayie county, and the citizens of the county seem to agree with us. Our columns cany more state, general and Jocal news than many Weeklies, and we haw sm ieof the best correspondents, in the county. For nearly a quarter of a century The Record has been a wet kly visitor to the homes of the best people in this section, - and during all that time the paper hasn’t missed an issue or failed to' show up on time. The paper has changed hands but once since its birth, and the people have learned to depend on it to give the' news. No extra premiums or half-price offers are made to increase our cir­ culation. The paper sells on its merits alon.e. A $5 Gold Piece Free. The Record is going to give away five dollars in gold and a new “ Peace” dollar to some boy or girl in Mocksville. There is no strings tied to this offer. Any boy or girl in Mocksville who is in the high school can compete for these prizls. To the boy or girl who writes the best composition on “W hy Every Family in Mocksville Should Take The Davie Record,” a five dollar gold piece will be given. To the one writing the second best com­ position on the sam& subject, anew “ Peace” dollar w ill be given. * The prizes will be| awarded by three judges, and the compositions print­ ed in The Record. AU.compositions must be brought or mailed to this office not later than ' Thursday, March 3 0th It costs you nothing to enter this contest and some one is going to win the prizes. Make your compositions short, and write only on one side of the paper. You can enter the contest whether your parents take The Record or not. Execntive Committee Defers Action The Republican County Executive Committee was called to meet here last Wednesday and endorse a new man for the Mocksville postoffice. Only seven of ti e eleven committee­ men were present, and it was decid­ ed to postpone action until Mon­ day, March 20th, at 12 o’clock, when it is hoped that all the com­ mittee will be present. . 1 Tree Falls on Woman in Buggy.. Spencer, March 11.—Mrs. Ellen Owen, aged about 4 5 , was instantly killed, and her husband, Abe M. Owen, aged 4 6 , was seriouslay in­ jured by a tree falling across the National highway on which they Were driving shortly before noon to­ day. The accident happined some three hundred yards north of the Piedmont toll bridge where Pete Crump, colored, was cutting cord wood at the roadside. .A pine tree 5o,or 60 feet tall, was just ready to fall, having been chopped almost down by Crump, when the buggy driven by M r. Owen .approached. The tree 'had been propped by Crump in an effort to make it fall from the road, but it is said a strong wind struck the pines just at that time and the tree fell across the buggy, the trunk apparently strik. ing Mrs. Owen in the head, causing instant death. M r. Owen was also struck in the head and shoulders. IjIe was rush­ ed to the Salisbury hospital in an ambulance for treatment, and it is thought w ill recover.

Each of the thousands of little glands whose doty it is. to pick up nourishment from the food and send this to all parts of the body are stimulated to their utmost. The whole result- Is that food is taken care of without distress of any sort In such manner, as to derive the utmost benefit from J t If your appetite Ie not keen, if your food seems to dis­ agree with you, if you are underweight, ‘ nervous, Irrrit- able and lack energy, give Tanlac the chanee to show you that it can work a miracle rith the most lively anticipa­ tion of its delights, then you are only half-living, because you are~only half getting the value of your food. Lack of appetite; or distress from indulging the appetite, are both due to the same cause— failure of the digestive system to properly do its important work. The undigested food- remaining in the alimentary canal may merely cause a dis­ taste for more food when it cannot take care of what it has,' or it may undergo chemical and putrlfieation changes that cause acute disease. Besides, these chemical changes produce poisonous substances that are carried to every cell and organ of the body and that cause all sorts of distressing symptoms. Tanlac, the famous digestive tonic and body builder, has achieved its wide success because it Is able to in­ vigorate the entire digestive tract. It acts to cause vigorous stomach preparation of the food, both through the muscular churning action of that In your condition as it has in so many thousands of other cases. If you are despondent, gloomy, with little taste -for and enjoyment of life, try Tanlac and no doubt you will see the clouds of gloom roll away under the sunshine of health.

The fascinating, in terest' of - the ancient ruins In Rhodesia, South Afri­ ca, drew the attention of the arch- eoiogists of the British association during its recent meetings at Cape Town. Among these rnlns the most conspicuous is the great Zimbabwe temple, which lies about 200 miles in­ land from the Indian ocean. Tne old­ est of the ruined buildings are be­ lieved to date back at least to the days of King Solomtin. It Is thought that they were constructed by Semitic colonists, whose chief object was gold mining, and who have left Indications of their worship of Baat and Ashta- roth, as described In the Bible. Ex­ perts believe that precious metals to the. value of $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 must have been extracted from the gold reefs of Rhodesia* In ancient times.

Each was depending upon the other to make the advance. The two clansmen 'stared at each other more and more sharply, and soon shadows of bitter­ ness began to creep into their eyes. Then Major Bradley, guest of Ben Llttleford, strode into the room with a patrician and soldierly air, and he understood the situation perfectly. "Gentlemen," he urged, "shake hands. Be friends.” They didn’t. Neither seemed to have heard the major. It angered Bill Dale. His knowledge‘of these feud, lsts, these grown-up children, was not per at a crucial moment I. He wondered whether It was yet too late, and turned his eyes toward-bis silent com­ panion. He saw that John Moreland was looking toward the beacon star—; The voice of Ben Llttleford came, to them plalnjy because the night was so very still; he was reading from the Gospel according to Saint. Mark, preparatory to hla bedtime prayer. The two at. the gate listened. Intently. The way; In which' the Illiterate giant stumbled over the simplest wprds was pitiful. . . . The hUlman closed the Good Book and placed it on the table beside him. There was the low shuffling of feet as lialf a dozen persons knelt at,their chairs. The prayer which followed was much like John Moreland's own bedtime prayer; It had In It less of supplication than of thanksgiving. And In the tali of It there were words that were like bullets to the mountaineer at the gate— ‘—Bless the good man who Is with us here tonight, and all o’ our kin­ folks, and all o* our friends, and all o; our lnemles—and ’specially the Morelands. Aymen I” _ Dale’s ' hand came down hard on John Moreland's shoulder. “You told me he wouldn’t do it I” The old clan IeaderVfitong his head, like a man suddenly broken. He re­ plied not a word; he seemed amazed into speechlessness. He had been wrong in his estimate of Ben Little- ford; he had lied about a man who had just asked the good Almighty to bless him. John Moreland choked a little and started toward the cabin. He walked as though half blind across the porch, and entered without knock­ ing, and went in to Ben Llttleford with his right hand outstretched. “Le’s begin anew,” he said huskily. “Le’s be friends, yore people and my people, you and me!” Llttleford arose and'groped for his old-time enemy’s -hand, found it and grasped it in both his own. “You’re better ’an I am, John More­ land,” he said—“you’re a d—d sight better ’an I am.” - - * When Dale left them, they were talking over a great bear-hunt'-'that they had taken together a score of years before. The moon, full and as bright.as new gold, had risen just under the beacon star when Bili Dale reached the door­ step of the cabin that was home to him. He -faced. about. The broad green valley lay very serene and very beautiful there In the mellow light There was no sound save for the gen­ tle murmuring of the crystal river. “You wonderful placed’ he said soft­ ly, then added: “My own country I” m m i !The Two Clansmen Stared at Each v Other More and More Sharply. yet. very, thorough. He went to his ,feet. John. Moreland, too, arose. “We’d as well go, hadn’t we?” Dale clipped, and there was disgust In his voice. ', ; .I. ■' <-“I reckon., we had,” agreeid More- iiand. I They walked out of the cabin, Ieav- ling Major Bindiey and Ben LitQeford !gazing silently after them. A t the gate Dale caught John Moreland’s sleeve and. halted him. . “Why on - aearth,” he - demanded, “didn’t you make the break?” “Bill D ale,.I went into his house!” Dale put his hands on one’ of the weatherbeaten gateposts and looked over to where a bright star burned like a beacon light above the'pine- fringed {treat., o f David: Moreland’s mountain.

Miss Elizabeth LitUeford beheld an interesting sight when 'she alighted from a northbound afternoon train at the Halfway switch. Just below the long siding a shorter siding had been put in—the railway company had been hastened, no doubt, by the great in­ fluence of old Newton -W heaQey-and from it bad been unloaded. a small geared locomottve, a dozen or so of IltQe coal cars opening at the. bottom, and miles of light steel rails with kegs of spikes for' them. Out toward her home a crew of men worked like bees at the building of a trestle of round timbers that had been cut from the nearby -woods; she at once recognized these men as More­ lands and Littlefords, and she knew it meant peace! They didn’t recognize hec, because of the distance. and the clothing; she wore, and because they were too busy to pay any particular attenUon to her. Farther out toward Doe river an­ other crew of men w as at- work clear­ ing the way ^for the little narrow- gauge. She heard ,the sounds of .the ax and the saw? the hammer and the steel, and once there, came; to her ears the great dull'roar of exploding dyna­ mite as a cliff was blown clear of its foundations. ; MiSs Elizabeth Littlefoid smiled happily.- And she had not been happy for; a long ttme. Patricia McLaurin, with whom she ha dbeen Stayingr had been kindness, itself but the mother of 'Bill • Dale, - her Bill JQtoe1- had snubbed hen^-and besides Qm-Ionging for. the old home hills was riotous In her bloiod. So she had come, back, run away a t Iefs than a moment’s notice-r as had Bill Dale before her, and how good it seemed to be at homed, She would have gone to see the men, had it not been that she :feared_ she would be a bother;' ' ~ .

But the distance was too great; a man down-there was but a mere speck. . . . Before she went'-oh, she1 removed her shoes and -stockings, It was hard for Babe LltQeford to be­ come accustomed to wearing useless shoes and stockings In warm weather I When she had reached-thd foot of the mountain, she didn’t take the by*’ path her people had.been wont to use In order that they might avoid con­ tact with the Morelands. There was no need, of. avoiding contact with the Morelands now, thank goodness! i- Then a voice hailed- her from the laurels out at her right, the voice she loved better than any other— ■< “Hello, Miss Llttleford !” Babe stopped and faced him, and. she blushed furiously, when she saw, him. He was coming rapidly toward her withQiis bat In his hand, and his brown hair was rumpled and damp with perspiration. She saw Qiat he was In boots, and corduroys, the cloth­ ing of a tlmber-jack, and he. looked bigger In them ; about his waist, there was a cartridge-belt, from which hung a big and dependable looking revolver In a leathern holster. “Hello, Mister Dale!" she mimicked. He shook her hand, then he dropped to a moss-covered log that lay beside the narrow trail. “Sit down here beside me,” he said; and he added: “I’ve been going hard all day, and I’m pretty tired.” She let fall her bundle and her shoes and stockings, and obeyed. “Why did you come back, Babe?" he asked as though he were displeased. “ ’Cause,” she answered—and she corrected herself quickly, “I mean be­ cause.” “No reason whatever,” smiled Dale. “Well,” and her clear brown eyes looked at him squarely, “I come back because yore mother she said I would be a burden to Mis’ McLaurln1 "that’s why.” !_ ' !‘Mrs. McLaurin,” said D ale? “not Mis’ McLaurlhT" & "A burden to Mrs. McLaurin, and I ain’t a-goln’ to be a burden, to no­ body!” vehemenQy. In a softer voice, she went on, “Mrs. McLaurin and her husband and her folks has done made up friendly, Bill Dale. Mrs. McLau- rin’s pap—I mean, her father—he brung ’em a big lot. o’ silver things. . . . “Bill Dale, I had a big time I Every­ body liked me. but yore own maw—I mean yore mother. ,My goodness gracious—they dress awful fine, don’t they? Why, silk ain’t nothin’. But whar all o’ their money comes from, I shore cain’t see.

He liked me be.tter’n any of ,’em, ’less it was P at herself. You know Jimmy, don’t ye. Bill?" Dale nodded, frowned, and turned his sober gaze toward the toes of his high laced boots. Yes,, he Imew Jimmy Fayne, and he held him in contempt. The pampered son of a wealthy cotton speculator, weak, devoted to high nights, remarkably handsome to ro­ mantic and unsophisticated girls but not to men and women who had cut their wisdom-teeth—that was Jimmy Fayne. Babe Llttleford was speaking again: . “I ’cided to come back here, Bill Dale, because I. thought th ey might need me here as well as because I w as afeard I would be a burden to Pat—I mean afraid I would_be a burden to Pat. Seems like I cain’t talk proper at all! I’ve tried and tried, I’ve, spent half o’ my time... jest a-tryin’ .to talk proper.

But I listened, and I heard her say the rest, and this is.it: ' “ ‘W hat wilFyou do when the in-in- innovation wears oft, Patricia?’ she .says. ‘She’ll be a burden to -you, Patricia; youfll have a ' half-savage person tagging after you, like a lady bear!’ ■■■ . ■•'"? ■ - •.

She wished wildly that she could hug him with all her- might—and she had UsIalg notion to do it. But what would lie think of her? Well, there, would come a day when she would'sureiy hug him with ail her might. She would simply break his blessed bones, almost. ‘Will you go to Patricia tomorrow?” he asked. She really believed that she ought to go.. -But the thought of leaving him “Look," She Urged—It Was One of the Charming Wiles \of Hen—“Look at My New Dress.” was. more hateful than ever; pow that she knew he meant to m arry her. She strove to change the subject— “See that little, teeny flower over there—that little, ‘teeny, blue- one?”, she asked, pointing. “That’s a day- flower. It’s the purest' blue of any. They call It a dayflower because it don’t last but jest -?one single day.’ And.again, pointing:-“See that IitQe, teeny, purple flower over there at them twisted Jaurels?

Heck' had some important, bad news, he said. “Better nof tell me about it until after aupper,” replied Dale. ‘Tm as hungry as you ever were, By.” They went in to sit down to one of the best meals Addle Moreland had ever prepared.; When - they had fin­ ished eating, John Moreland led the way Into'the best room, where they took; chairs. The m ajor .produced cigarp. By’ Heck, swollen with a feel­ ing of greatness,-lighted the wrong U“d of his weed, faced Dale,, and be- gan’ioumburden his mind of its weight of information. .- “Well, Bill, old boy,” he began—and then stqpped to wonder w hy Siis cigar wouldn't snioke as well as the major’s “Well, Bill; old boy,” he went oa, final­ ly. “Henderson Goff, he’s shore been as.busy; as a one-armed man in a bum- blebee’s nest- I caip’t see, igod, what's wrong.,with this here' seegyar. • He’s went and brung. about twenty-five Tof- reys- frOm two .places Jmowed :as Jer- us’leui eove and Hatton’s helli tp help work his mine when he gits i t They’re an a-puttin’ up with them Balls.

In as much of,the law as we can get, and m eet it half-way. Bh, Hayes?” " - '• . ■“Sure,” nodded the mining expert. Dale was on his way to the new riding the following morning, when he met Henderson Goff? Again Dale was forcibly reminded of stories he had heard , and read of Mississippi river steamboat gamblers of the long ago. Goff stepped out of the trail, smiled and spoke with apparent good humor. Dale passed him without a word. . . Then the'shyster , coal man called out,“ Ready fo sell yet?” y The Moreland Coal company’s man­ ager halted and faced about with a puckering of his brows. “For a fair price, yes.” . “Just what would you. call a' fair price?” “Oh, somewhere between two and three hundred thousand,” promptly. Goff sniffed, and the corners of his mouth came down. “You don’t want much. You won’t get it from me!” “I don’t, want it from you.” Dale turned and went on. He was sorry that he had stopped to talk with the' fellow. That afternoon he again met. Goff In the trail. The bare sight of the shyster made him very angry now, and his right hand fell upon the butt of the big revolver on-his hip. Goff was about to sidestep In the laurels, when Dale caughfhim roughly by the arm, “See here,” he said sharply, “you’ve about cut your little swath. We’ve had enough of you.- You -can’t ge.t this coal at any price, and the sooner you get yourself out of this country the better' and safer it will be for you. To be ,plain, Fm pretty apt to thrash you the very next Ome I see you. Now move on!" Ooff went, oft laughing wickedly. “Oh, ail rightj D ale; go ahead and build the little road.for m e!” he said. Late that night every sleeper in the valley of the Doe was awakened ,by a great, rumbling explosion, which was followed almost immediately by an­ other great, -rumbling explosion. Be-^ fore the - reverberations had died away. Bill Dale had dressed himself and was standing on the vine-hung front porch, and he was only a few seconds ahead of John Moreland. Then there came the tearing sound of a heavy explosion miles to the east­ ward. ' ' “Do ye know what it is?” inquired the mountaineer. “They’ve stolen our dynamite from the tobaeco-barn, and blown up the of­ fice and supplies, building and the com­ missary building; also they’ve blown up the big. trestte near the siding,” Dale answered. “ ’At’s my gfiess, too,” said More- dand. , Within the next half hour Dale and Hayes, Major. Bradley, and the men­ folk of the Morelands and the Little­ fords had gathered around the wreck of the two big, unfinished fram e build­ ings.. Dale blamed-himself much for having left dynamite unguarded in the tobacco-barn—but nobody-else blamed him for it. s “It’s time to let the law In,” he said ,when he had_yiewed the jumbled mass of broken planks and Qmbers by the light of lanterns. He turned to stal­ w art Luke Moreland. “You get- on my horse and ride to Cartersyjlle. for the sheriff. Tell him he can get the best posse in the world right here,, if he needs one.- It’s the proper thing, isn’t it, major?” . “Yes,” said M ajor Bradley, “it’s the proper thing. You’ve got a real griev­ ance now. But I fancy Goff had noth­ ing, to. do with . th is; lie is shrewd enough to know that it-thing like, this Would cook his goose. Goff has been playing a bluff gam e-all along, you know. Some Balls or some Torreys -perhaps.a 'mixture of both, have done this without ■ Goff’s knowing anything about it. I'd have Sheriff Flowers ar­ rest several of the Balls and severa' of Jh e .Torreys, and'try to scare them into” turning state’s evidence to saye themselves." , '• ' The m ajor finished In a low tone, because of the -probability for eaves­ droppers, and In this he was w ise “We’ll do that,” Dale decided. He faced Hayes, his right-hand man, and began 'to give orders like a vet­ eran, general manager. T hem enw ere to take their rifles.with them to work In the morning,, but they were to fire no shot unless R was in defense of life or property. In the morning every available wagon in. the valley was to be sent to the little sawmill that was In operation ten miles toward the low­ land for more building m aterial. By Heck joined them then. He guessed just what had happened, plucked at Dale’s sleeve and whis­ pered: “Sposen I takes a sneak or two to Ward-, them-, lowdown, walnut-eyed, knock-kneed, dadblamed Balls and TorTeys and finds out w hat I can find out; hey, Bill?” The answer cam e-readily: “Sure you he detective. B ut be carefdl that you don’t lose'- anything- fo r-u s, y! know, if you don’t gain anything.” By Heck and his rifle disappeared In the darkness of the mountain night. : “You promised mo you’d go back to Patricia and finioli your education.” (TO BE CdNTINTJED.) - Revlaed. ; Laugb and the world - laugns w ilt ybu!;;or;?if.'Vit-;‘d oesn't' "youshouW worry.”—B m ^lraim cripk ' Mrs. Ruth Williamson Birmingham, A la—“After becomin, a m other my health gave w a\ I SJ fered severely with a pain Ioi d0J: In my right side..

SIU TOTALS $241,000,000 American Demand, if Granted, Would Upset Distribution Already Settled On. ' Paris.—A demand from , the United States that $241,000,000 for its ex­ penses-in conenction with the occu­ pation of tbe Shineland be. paid be­ fore any reparations w ere paid were presented to the allied' finance minis­ ters a t their meeting. * W ashington.—Secretary Hughes 're­ fused to~ comment on the news from Paris th at representatives ot the United States government had pre- sented-a demand to the~allied finance minmters that expenses aggregating $241,000,000 sustained by the United States in the occupation of the Rhine­ land paid before any reparations. There was nothing that could be said on the subject a t this time, Mr. Hughes declared. The distribution of this year’s Ger­ m an payments, it is learned on good authority, already was practically de­ cided upon before the American note was received. The total is not to ex­ ceed 800,000,000 gold m arks, and the ratio of sharing this amount is prac­ tically th esam e as was decided upon a t the recent m eeting of the supreme council a t Cannes, which was a slight modification of the percentages work­ ed out at the Spa conference. According to this schedule, France- would receive 52 per cent of the pay­ m ent and Great Britain 22 per cent Since the appraised valij£ of the Saar valley coal mines; estim ated at 300,- 000,000 gold m arks, is charged against France’s receipts, this sched­ ule would, leave France about 35,000 000 gold m arks. A high allied authority said recent­ ly that' the American claim for the expenses of the American forces in Germany was a m atter for the con­ sideration of the reparations - commis­ sion, which is indirectly charged with the collection and distribution of the German payments. Thus far the commission has ac­ cepted modifications of the term s ol paym ent suggester by the allied pow­ ers, and it is considered a foregone conclusion that it will accept the de­ cisions of the finance m inisters in this series of sessions. ' The American claim, however, d ay 'modify the distribution of this year’s payments.

It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success* An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the as* tonishing statement tha^one reason'why so many applicants for/insurance are re*, jected is because- kidi^y trouble is so common to the Americi i^i-ople, and the large majority of tho'fe^ whose applica­ tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.Dr, Kilmer’s Swamp Root is on sale at aU drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large: However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr* Iulmer & Co., Bingham* ton, N. Y., for «a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention-this paper. Advertisement. ■t ■" " " Perfectly Safe. First Thief (In hotel bedroom)—Go quiet, Jim. There’s a woman asleep in that room.

HE REPLY IS SENT TO ITALY America “Should Not Unnecessarily Become Involved in European Political Affairs.” ’ * . W ashington, -r- The AmeHcan gov-, em m ent declined the invitation to participate in the .international eco­ nomic and financial conference to be held at Genoa next month, on the ground that the conference is not prim<- ily an economic one, “but is rathxi*/ a conference of a political character - In which the government of the UnitedijStates could not help-, fully participate.” The refusal to enter the conference was contained In a' note from Secre­ tary Hughes to Ambassador Ricci, ol Italy, who h a d . presented the invita­ tion on behalf of his government which in turn was acting fo r'th e al­ lied ambassadors.- Ambassador Ricci immediately communicated the text of the note to his governm ent The note stated that while the American people were desirous of suitably assisting in the recovery of the economic life of Europe^ the United 8tates government could not be unmindful of the “clear convic­ tion” of the people “that they should not unnecessarily become involved in European political questions.” The conviction was expressed that all considerations of economic re­ vival would be futile .without the es­ tablishment in Russia of the . essen­ tial bases of production outlined in the public declaration of the Ameri­ can government :on March 25, 1921, and urged that “adequate action” to that end be taken on the port of “those chiefly responsible for Rus­ sia’s present economic disorder,” In that connection it ^vas also pointed out in the ■ note that the American government believes noth­ ing should be done looking to the ob­ taining of economic advantages in Russia which “would im pair the just opportunities of others,’* and warning was. issued that “fair and equal eco­ nomic opportunity" in Russia was- ex­ pected by the United States in the interest of Russia itself as well as that of all other powers. In conclusion the note . expressed -hope that progress would be made in preparing the way for “the even­ tual discussion and settlem ent of the fundamental economic and financial questions relating to European re­ cuperation which press for solution.” The position of the American gov­ ernm ent as set forth In the,com m u­ nication handed Ambassador Ricci is that participation by the United States in anv Keneral Enrnpean eco; nomlc conference is impossible at. this t.imft. owinto the complete failure of European nations in the view of the American government to adont proper m easures for remedying the ravages of w ar and for insuring the stabilization of their economic life.

Investigators Discovered Bad Condi- tion cf Affairs Among New J York’..School’'Children. The board of health of New York ! city has recently made a special study j of the feet of the children in one of I the public schools with ' a view to obtaining some idea of the prevalence ! of pedal defects among young .boys ; and girls. ’.The examinations, made by ortho­pedic surgeons, appeared to show that such defects are much commoner than has been supposed. The number of children examined was 356. Seven per cent of the boys and 6 per cent of the girls'were found to have deformed toes. Six per cent of the boys and 13 per cent of the girls had “flat foot.” Forty-seven per cent of the boys and j 74 per cent of the girls had “weak ■j feet” Ten per cent of; the boys and 17' per cent of the girls had ingrow­ ing toenails. The feet of 39 p^r cent of the boys and 23 per cent of the girls revealed corns or other excres­ cences. Twenty-one per cent of the boys and 2 per cent -of the girls walked with their toes turned in.Most of these troubles were of a character admitting of correction and. cure, with proper treatment. If neg­lected, said the surgeons, some of them might cripple and . Impair the ^efficiency of the children affected.The surgeons recommended that all growing children be examined for such defects and that those affected be watched and treated. Id order that later In life they may fco “foot-sound.” — Philadelphia Ledger. BELONG TO PREHISTORIC DAY Bones of Whales Possibly Ten Thou­sand Years Old Recently Un­earthed on English Farm, t, . The skeletons of two whales, dating back, It is supposed,. 10,000 to 12,000 years, were founud by two workmen on a farm near Peterborough, accord­ ing to the Westminster Gazette. Some of the teeth and bones were submitted to. Doctor. Garrood of Alconbury hill, Huntingdonshire, and he, in company with two : zoological experts, visited the farm and obtained all the bones, with the result that one of the whales has been set up.The whales were lying side by side under the peat, and just embedded in the clay.. On the whole the bones are in good condition, and those that have been taken out carefully are scarcely broken. Unfortunately, the skulls are damaged.. It is believed that many thousand years ago these whales, and perhaps others, swam up a CTeek .when the Wgsh came further inland, and got caught at the top of a spring tide in a place where they were unable to turn. :Another theory has been. advanced, though it is rather far-fetched.

A frsak of nature, proving of more than ordinary interest, is a goodf sized island In Puget sound,-which Is apparently dying from old age. It was observed last summer that every fir ajid cedar-tree on the island was dead. About the water’s edge Vegetation ap­ peared withered apd a thin vapor hung over the island during the day. Never inhabited, and about IOO acres in ex­ tent, the island-has for years been noted for its growth of wonderful - trees.Firs three feet in diameter grew so thickly as to make travel through them almost impossible: Both cedar and alder flourished. The - owner­ ship of the tract has been in litiga­ tion for -years and the 'timber could not be logged.Now there is not a living thiijg: on the island. Not a crow rests on the dead tops, and as boats pass, an occasional crash tells of the fall­ ing of a great tree.Scientists who have visited the is­ land in the last few months believe tho land has soured. The growth of trees and vegetation has been so rapid and dense as to exhaust the humus in the soil. Another theory is that the soil rests on a rock base and the rootlets of the plants have come into contact with the brine of Puget sound to such an extent that the salt has burned, out the plant, Ufe.

There is a vast difference between Icknotvledging the economic sound­ less of a self feeding live-at-home lolicy 011 the farms and in endor­ sing it as one of the governor’s ‘ ‘ori- [inal” discovaries. There is, how- rer, a serious side to it, after all. 'his live-at-home campaign has sen in progress in the south for |iore than a half century. Practi- ally all the good results gained so |>r have come through agencies pat are not active in partisan poli- such as home and farmdemon- lration agents, by ■ publicity trough non-partisan farm papers !rough extension services of the ricultural colleges, state univer­ ses, etc. There are plenty of :se agencies to take care of the itinuation of the live-at-home ipaign, as is now needed in this ite. In the agricultural exten- Ju service in North Carolina there hundreds of trained men and Imen some of whom have been in [ire service for many years. The IrLt and county agents constitute the machinery needed and witli- Itheir tanks they'have plenty' of !rienced capable men and liuen already iu close contact with |ms and farm homes in the state, there is no good reason why governor should go outside and other expenses. It is true that PfIords an opportunity for a little Jrepolitical exploitation at the pense of the over-burdened tax- jers, but that makes it all, the Sre objectionable.

Here is a rule for finding when it will corine: "Thirty days hath September.” Every person can re'member; But to know when Easter come, Puzzle even scholars some. . When March the twenty first is past Just watch the silvery moon; And when you see it full and round Easter wiil be here soon. AHer the moon hath reached its full Then Eister will soon be here. The very Sabbath after. In each and every yehr. And if hap on Sabbath The moon should reach its height. The Sabbath followibg this event WilIbetheEasterbright.

An employee of a Char­ lotte store'saw the hat and it being a good model, took it home with him. I a few days the Monroe lady boarded a .train and went on a day’s shopping to the: Queen, City.

If this [question were asked of any !man. If would be hard to answer I it intelligently for the answer would be an approximate one The local newspaper like all insti­ tutions has its duties to fulfill, ar,d its responsibilties to perform It is indeed a local institution. It is an institution for the public and it'is the public that must sup­port it What would a community do with­out a fire company to protect its pro­ be; ty from fire? What would a community do with- out a police department to protect it from violators of the law? What wouid a community do with­ out a health department to protect health of its citizens and enforce the sanitary laws? What would the average town or city do without its churches? What would a community do with- outla local newspaper? Therefore, if these departments of a community have duties to the pub­ lic, then it is reasonable to suppose that the community owes some duty also to these different institutions. Rex Grove White, an eminent writer, says: *'T..e Iacol newspaper, like the lo­ cal fire department, police depart­ ment and board of health, is accept­ ed as an iusutution by the American public which must do its work, serve all interests, ignore danger, know no deep, accept abbse, be always po­lite.” “It is looked upon as an institu­ tion that must give its wares, i. e , its columns, upon the slighest pre­ text to the aid of any sort of move-- 'ei-y'greati^T^fq^arTTWb^arto- day is’bringing 40 cents a bushel more tban.the lowest price last fall.

A preliminary hearing was' given Lester Cornatzer and I. R. Elam, charged with house-breaking and larceny, at the court house Friday afternoon. The hearing was before Justices G. E. Horn, A. V. Smith and J. H. Foster. The-defendants were represented by Attorneys Par- risli, Brock, Brown, Mott, Gaither JmdgLewis^and the Grant, Jr. ‘ The heating was begun at 2 :30 o'clock and was not con eluded until nearly 8 o’clock. Cor- natzer and Elam were charger with breaking into the house of Mrs. A. S. McDaniel, neat Smith Grove, on the night of Feb. 12th .and taking # 2 0 0 in silver. A fter all the evi­ dence had been presented to the court the , defendants were- held til fdrr?Sa Our town -is coming to the front. More new buildings are going up in-Mocksville at this time than has been built fa a number of years. W aterworks and sewerage, some concrete streets and sidewalks have been put in during the'" past few months and at least one or two new brick business houses will be erected this spring. W ork has been started on the six mile stretch of concrete road through the town. Keep your eye on Mocksville and watch her grow. “The Knocker Again.” Mr. Editor:—Under the cover- of darkness one night this _ week, some body or bodies committed a crime in our town when they tore out the underpinning of the Gaith­ er building. I hope the guilty partieswere ignorant of the vicious­ ness of the crime, (if. ignorant—I am sorry for their ignorance of law and common decency) this act shows us that we have an element who has little respect for themselves and less for the laws of our State; every one who had a hand in the act are guilty of a serious and indictable crime. . It looks like many of the young people of our country (andf some older ones) have made up their minds to ignore the Constitu­ tion and Laws of our country, and the sooner we realize and take steps to enforce the laws and up­ hold common decency in pur town and County, the better for all con­ cerned, for one act of lawlessness but breeds and leads to open and flagrant disregard of personal and property lights; can we hope to in-= duce good people and capital to our town and County where a reign of lawlessness is .uncurbed? We must make up our minds to our duty as good citizens, of our town and County will suffer irreparable damage from . this lawlessness. Our town authorities have had a hard time in trying to keep our streets open to traffic, but as I see it; the side ditches-naVe got to be opened and the water holes filled before the streets will be made pas­ sable. Let’s get busy and all pull together for the common , good— some tHings can be left undone un­ til we get our streets in a fit condi­ tion to be’travelled over. A little knocking at the right time and w ith the proper motive, may do some good. We are all equally interest­ ed in all these matters, so who- not consult together and try to do the best for all concerned? . E. H. MORRIS. March 1 6, 1 9 2 2. Bixby Items. Born to Mr. and Mrs. C H.

The fire started in jtlie center of the block bounded by VanBuren, Canal and Clinton streets Ld West Jackson boulevard, Of un- Lown origin, burned every structure that area, leaped north acroBS Backson and wrecked the 21-story Chicago, Burlington & Qtiincy rail- oad's general oifice building, which Blso houses the Mercantile Trust and Savings Bank, and under burden of a Btrong wind, dipped over VanBuien Ctreet southward and burned nearly Iio Harrison street.

The fire for a time threatened to bssmne virtually unlimited propor- Itions and every piece of fire-fighting apparatus within five miles was called Sout in a series of ten alarms. "The rapidity with which the fire {spread was astounding,” Marshal uckley, assistant fire chief, said, 'hat the original blaze from which conflagration grew possibly was incendiary origin was the state- nent of Shirley P.

Washington. — Work of arranging for senators and members of the house' military committee to inspect person­ ally the government’s war-initiated project at Muscle Shoals, Ala., and Gorgas, Ala., in a body, were begun by officers of the two legislative chambers, Joseph Rogers, sergeant-at- arms of the house, to whom the duty of making preparations for the mill-, tary committee was entrusted, opened communications with David S. Barry, the senate sergeant-at-arms; imme­ diately upon passage by the house of, a resolution authorizing the visit and appropriating $2,000 .for expenses 'of the house members, The decision of the senate agricul­ ture committee to leave Washington March 25 was announced by Sena­ tor Norris, of Nebraska, a few min­ utes before the house passed the resolution. Several military commit­ teemen said the date would be con­ venient for them, while others favor­ ed making the trip at once so they might return here and begin imme­ diate preparation of the report the committee will make to the house on the offers of Henry Ford, the Ala­ bama Power company and Frederick E. Engstrum, of Wilmington, N. C., which have been under investigation for more than a month. . The Impossibility, however, of the senators departing before their votes are recorded on the four-power Pacific treaty was recognized by house mem­ bers as a justifiable reason for wait­ ing until March 25. Reasons of econ­ omy also were advanced by those who advocated the joint visit. Both senators and house committeemen, it was explained, could go as one dele­ gation much less expensively than t'-,ey could in two or more groups. A lthough about 47 senators have ex­ pressed a desire to see the Shoals projects,, it w as the im pression th a t th e 16 m em bers of the agricultural com m ittee would have the first prefer­ ence and th e others would probably aw ait.until th e com m ittee, had return­ ed before deciding W hether they could go. Senator Norris believed about five days would be necessary' for the In­ spection. Less Unemployment Reported. 1 Washington.—Reports from widely separated states, from Michigan to Texas and from New Tork to Kansas, show am'improvement In the employ­ ment situation, according to Colonel Arthur Woods, chairman of the emer­ gency committee of the president’s cqnference on unemployment. Referring to the' “unprecedented'’ amount of winter outdoor work and the added improvements to be expect­ ed with the approach of spring, Colo­ nel Woods said: ’’There seems to he a! slight falling off in the number- of applicants for work at the Employment bureaus, coupled with a corresponding increase ■in the'number'for whom, work is found by these same bureaus.” ’ Boston Celebrates.

REPORT FORMALLY APPROVER Believes Plan Meets the Approval of Soldiers, Committee Says In Its Report. Washington.—-The compromise sol­ diers’ bonus bill, as finally revised', was reintroduced in * the house by Chairman Fordney, who submitted a 1 majority, report from the Ways and means committee claiming the “ad­ vantages of the plans of the bill.” “First—No new taxation, no' issu­ ance of* new securities is at present required. “Second—It provides for the vete­ ran .in need 'a method of obtaining aid. “Third—The amounts required each year after July 1,1923, are small com­ pared to those which have heretofore been met and can be provided without any difficulties or derangement of our financial situation. “Fourth—The plan tends to promote savings habits among the veterans. “Fifth—It protects the veteran him­ self and his family from misfortune in the future. “Sixth—It will create a class of home builders who will greatly in­ crease the mass'; of property in the country. - “While perfect unanimity could not be expected as to all details of the bill,” the report said, “the majority of the committee believe that the plan in general meets the approval of the soldiers and all of ,those who are in favor of granting to them additional compensation in any form whatever.” After a session at which, the report was formally approved with some changes from the original draft, ma­ jority members of the committee said the question of procedure in bringing up the bill in the house- still was, un­ decided. One committeeman said he thought it was about “fifty-iifty” whether it would be taken up under a suspension of Jh0 rules or later un­ der a special rule. While the comfiiitteemen were hi session. Representative Lineberger, of California, a former service man, put into circulation a petition proposing a conference of house' republicans to 'consider: the bonus bill. Under the rule,; fifty signatures would force a conference and Mr. Lineberger expect­ ed, to obtain that number. The majority report, in discussing' the objections raised to the bank-loan provision of the adjusted service cer­ tificate plan, said the majority of the committee was-Of the opinion that the amount that would be borrowed from banks on~ the certificate would be “comparatively ■ small.” “Although they constitute ideal se­ curities for the savings banks,” the re­ port said, “any bank may, if it sees At, inquire into the necessity of making the loan before it is made^lAnd it is believed 'a majority of the soldiers will not, in any event, ask for a loan upon the certificates unless they have some special need for the' money. It- is es­ timated by the committee and the treasury that 70 per cent of the vet­ erans will take the certificate plan. Assuming this to be correct the utmost that could, be loaned by the banks, if all applied, for loans, would be $550,- 000,000.. - - , -Will Command Prohibition Navy. : Washington.—Lieutenant R. L.

Bill Dale started alone on the way of the narrow-gauge railroad for the sid­ ing. He wished to see for himself just : what the damage had been to the ■trestle, and he hoped to meet Goff, or u Ball, or a Torrey, and learn some­ thing that would be to his advantage. Before he had covered two miles, he hia seen two of the enemy skulking !through the woods, and he recognized them for Torreys frOm Jerusalem Cove and Hatton’s Hell; he knew it by their very swarthy skin, their high iheekbones and their coarse black hair, the outcroppings of the Ciierokee Sindian blood in them. They looked cunning and wicked. Dale , loosened. Sn its holster the big revoiver that JIajor-Bradley had persuaded him to carry for his own protection. John Moreland had taught him how to use ifirearm?. „ ' At a point near where the little stream that’ flowed past the Halfway switch emptied into Doe river, where Doe river turned almost squarely to idle left, Dale halted abruptly. He had seen a man dart behind /bl scrubby oak •some thirty yards ahead of him; quite aaturally, he concluded that the fel­ low meant to waylay him, arid fie, too, stepped behind a tred, 4 big hemlock. A silent minute went by.-Then Dale put his hat out on one side of the tree and peeped from the other side; It was an old trick that Grandpap More­ land had told him about. A rifle ' • cracked promptly and sharply, and a bullethole appeared in the rim of his hat! . . . Following it,, there came the coarse, bass voice of Black Adam Ball, the mountaineer Goliath: “You cain’t fool me. I jest shot to put a hole In yore new hat and to show ye ’at I ain’t no bad shot. You cain’t hit my hat!” . . Dale's temper, the temper that had always been so hard to keep’, under control, rose quickly. He trifed to rai­ son with himself, and couldn’t; his passion mastered him: He snatthed the big revolver from its bolster and cocked it. With as: steady a hand as ever held a weapon-trained, he began to take aim at Ball’s slouch hat, the . half of which was in plain view at one side of the scrubby oak. ■ i “I fooled you oflce, back there In the middle of the river,” he cried hot­ ly, “and now I’m going to fool you again!” . , ' There was' In his voice that old, old primitive rage, which frightened him, and puzzled him too, In his better mo­ ments. \ He let down the bead until it was barely visible in the notch, and eased off the trigger. The revolver-roared and spat forth a. tiny tongue of flame and a little cloud of white smoke. Ball sprang erect, wheeled, and fell crash­ ing to the-leaves I Dale dropped his weapon. Hewent' as white as death, and his two. hands clutched uncertainly at his-throat He was a murderer! No, he wasn’t—His bullet had gone wild; it had struck Ball’s head on the other side of the. tree, by accident; But how could he prove that It had been an accident? Would any jury believe him? It w*s far fro'j probable. - He rteppea from behind the hem­ lock and went' toward the writhing Goliath, whose legis only were visible now. ‘ - Then a third shot rang out on the morning stillness. It had been fired from a point some little distance away, and Dale’s Condition of mind at the moment was such that he didn’t even note the direction from which the sound had come. He was unhurt, and he had not heard the whine of a bullet or the pattering of shot on the leaves. When he looked about him, he saw.no one; neither did he see any telltale smoke. Perhaps, be thought dimly, it had been a squirrel-hunter that had fired that shot. He forgot about it very quickly for the time be­ ing,' and went on toward Adam Ball, who now was lying perfectly still. There was a bullet-hole through and through the great, shaggy , head. 'The face behind the short, curly black ’beard was of the colorless hue of soapstone. The giant hillman was dead. Bill. Dale, knelt there beside Black Adam. Again he clutched at his throat with his two shaking hands, and this time he tote his bine flannel shirt. All the agony and all the remorse in the universe seemed to‘be gathering there In his heart. Never before had he seen death. Its grim pi^esencc terrified him. That the deplorable thing hadi been an accident, dne to his faulty marksmanship, mattered little. He had killed a man, and the blood-red brand of Cain was burning away on his brow; he was a man in a hell of his own making. And kneeling there Bill Dale sobbed a great sob' that shook his broad shoulders as a violent ague would have shaken them. He tried to look at . the. blue-edged hole in the shaggy head ; at the cruel, brutish face that was of the colorless hue of soapstone. Merciful tears blinded him, and he, couldn’t see. It was a compensation, a pitifully beauti­ ful compensation........ Five . minutes passed, five minutes that were as five years to this man who had never been In the presence of death before. Then he realized that he was being .surrounded by kinsmen of the dead mountaineer. He looked up into their ashen, angry faces, and they cursed him. Big and gripping brown hands were placed Upon hnn; several rifles were turned upon him. He arose and spread out his arms, and offered his breast to the frowning muz­ zles. They could give him, at least, oblivion. \ '• ® . “Shoot, if you like,” he said bitterly. “It was an accident, y’know, but— shoot, if you like.” “No,” commanded Adam Ball’s' father, a slender and angular olci man with a straggling iron-gray beard— “No, don’t shoot. Shootin’s tijo quick. ‘SJioot, If You Li Ice I” He Said Bit­ terly, ■ by gorinies. And ’en,. it .ain’t accordin’ to law.’’ (Queer how suddenly he re­ spected -the majesty of the law!) “We’d a durned sight ruther see him Ifung by the neck ontel dead in the jaiiyard at Cartersvlile. Te’uns put down them thar guns. Put down ail o* • them -thai> guns right now; hear me.?” '• He turned- back to Dale. ‘Te say It was' a accident?’’ he sneered. fTfes1 it was an accident.” _ ' t . ' “Like the old devil!” roared Black Adam’s father. . -A:- " He stopped and picked tip his Ison’s black slouch' hat and examined it. There were two bullet holes, close to­ gether’ in the rim—and one of them, had been there for a long time.; ; ^ “John Moreland, he’s been a-Parain’ ye how to shoot,” he said, "and you’ve shore l’arned purty,(J—d well. It must ha* been - yore third shot ’at got Adam.**! ' y : "I fired only once.” disagreed DdeI uYour son fired f ir s tI fired second; and somebody -else, I- haven’t the slightest idea who,- fired • the other, shot" “Aw, shet up!

And I’ll take a tol’ably big. chaw, Jim Ike,. ’cause Adam’s death has made me feel sort or bad, and tobacker’s allus a consolation.” The sounds of the shooting had car­ ried far, and it wasn’t long until the scene of the tragedy was-crowded with Balls and Torreys, Littlefords and Morelands. Major Bradley” and Hayes, too; were there. Every man of them was armed; a very little 'thing might Aisily turn the place into a shambles. The major. saw this, and he was afraid. He drew the leaders of the Morelands and the Littlefords aside, and finally prevailed upon them to do their utmost toward keeping peace un­ til the coming of the sheriff. . At first, John Moreland and Ben Lit- tleford were for taking Bill Dale from the Balls and Torreys who guarded blpi, if they had to depopulate the 'whole Ball settlement, Jerusalem Cove and Hatton's - Hell to accomplish it I Happily4 the major’s counsel prevailed. Sheriff Tom Flowers was a tall and lithe, smooth-faced man. He arrived with Luke Moreland it noon, after hours of hard riding. He saw the high tension, and immediately steeled him­ self to handle the situation. After riding straight to the center of the gathering'and there halting his horse; he said evenly: “In order that I may know who tq arrest, I must know something of the ciriumstances. Only one man must speak at a time. No playing bad with me; and remember that, gentlemen. I’ll certainly drop the fellow who starts playing hoss with me, if it’s the last move I make on earth. Now some­ body gently use his powers of speech.”. Major Bradley, more soldierlike than ever, went forwards “As the attorney of Mr. Dale, who stands accused of killing Adam Ball,” he said to the of­ ficer, “I beg leave to state that my client will do no talking at present” Dale understood, and he did not open his mouth. But'old Ball had something to say, and he proceeded to say it: '“He killed my son, Adam,” pointing to Dale, “In cold blood. Me and about a, dozen o’ my kin was on our way over Long ridge to look at a bee tree, when iwe heered three pistol shots. We was right up thar,” pointing to the northward, “and we come a-runnin’ over here to see, by gonnies, what was the inatter. Well, by gonnies, we found Bill’ Dale thar down on bis knees aside o’, my son, Adam, who was_ds dead as h—I. or deader; and Bill Dale was a-s.obbin’ and a-sobbin’ about it And ef he never killed my son Adam, what was he a-sobbin’ and a-sobbin* about/ I ax you that? And my.son Adam, he had a rifle, by gonnies, but he never shot none 'at all. He was with us up to a few minutes before, and he hadn't shot none all mornln’. ShurifE-Flowers, I wisht ye’d gi’ me a good,, big chaw o’ tobacker, by gon­ nies, .’cause my sob Adam his death it has made me feel bad.” Major Bradley stopped caressing his well-kept gray imperial, walked over to the dead man’s rifle, picked it up and put its muzzle to his nose. He scented fresh pbwder-smoke. Then he .faced old' Ball with a strange, hard, glitter In bis blue eyes. “You are a liar, sir,” he said with a peculiar politeness. ’ ' A stir ran quickly over the Balls and Torreys. Sheriff Flowers called out: ‘Quiet, there I” and’there was quiet. He’ continued: “Where Is Mr. Dale’s revolver?” The Balls had It. They produced it.. It had three empty chambers when it should have had but one! \ ‘•‘Pass.lt to me butt first,” ordered the law’s representative. He' knew that many a main had been shot while taking a revolver barrel first, and he 'was taking no chances. Old Ball obediently turned the weap­ on around. “Say, sheriff,” - he; chittered, “ have ye plumb fo’got-about me axin’. ye fo’ a chaw'o*' store-bought? By -gonnies, Adam’s death—” Flowers turned to Dale. - . “I have heard through LukeMore- Iand,*1 he said with more eciiess of feeling In hUvolce, “a go«l many things m your favor..- I want you £0 know, that I’m sorry to have to take you and place you in the Cartersville jail. To- show you that I mean it, Fil spare you the irons and allow you to ride your own horse along beside me, as though you were not under arrest at all.” . ■Dale baa by this time worn the keen edge from his grief by means of his great will power. He bowed slightly to the officer and replied with grave courtesy: . “Believe me, sir,” with the very faintest trace, of a smile, “I am very much obliged to you.” , Luke Moreland led up the sleek young bay that Bill Dale had named Fox, and Dale swung himself easily into: the saddle. He faced the- sheriff. :“H you’re ready to go, sir,” he said, ‘I am.” Together they rode through • the woodland toward the broad, green val­ ley, with the Llttlefords, the More­ lands, Major Bradley and Hayes fol­ lowing closely behind them. Up on the side of DaivId Moreland’s mountain there had been a silent and unseen witness to the arrest of Bill Dale. She was hidden behind gnarled and twisted clump of sheep- Ianrel, sitting on a patch of tiny, da’nty, pure- blue dayflowers-^-crushing ‘Lord, What’ll I Do Now?" She Mur­ mured. In her hands the tiny purple blossoms that are known as Job’s tears. “Lord, what’ll I do now?” she mur­ mured. It was a great and unanswerable question, and it was a prater, too. “Lord, what’ll I do now?” she re­ peated. When Bill Dale had ridden out of her sight, she threw down the crushed flowers and flung herself prostrate, with her face close to the hemlock needles and the earth, and wept low and bitterly, and wept and wept— “Lord, what’ll I do now?” CHAPTER Xl By Heck Keeps a Secret. When Sheriff Tom Flowers and the Athers had been gone for half an hour, Elizabeth Littleford sat up in the si­ lence. It was a great end heavy silence that hovered there over the north end of David Moreland’s mountain. There was not even the drumming of a yel- lowhamraen not even the saucy chat­ tering of a boomer squirrel, not even the twittering of a bird". Not a leaf stirred anywhere. Everything seemed lifeless.' It was almost as though she were the sole inhabitant of the world. Then she’,thought. It was noontime, and the officer and his prisoner would doubtless halt at John Moreland’s cabin for the noonday meal;1 and if she: hastened she would get to see Bill Dale again. / So she ran like a doe- through "the green 'woodland, through the tangle laurel and ivy and over the moss- covered stones, across a shoulder of David Moreland’s mountain. She was barefooted,’ and her'dress -was a sim­ ple garment • of white-dotted blue, calico,»and her long brown hair flowed behind her like the hair of a young witch—because of the excitement of the morning, she had forgotten to give it its usual daily plaiting.- As she drew near V> the Moreland lea’der’s home, she saw'Bill . Dale and the sheriff walk out at, the gateway and mount their- horses. Major Brad­ ley came out, and he, too, mounted'his horse; and she was glad’that he was going along. There was a great crowd; all thfe'Littlefords were tliere, and all the; Morelands, and old Granny Heck, the fortune-teller. On every face Babe saw; signs of sympathy, and sorrow. Her eyes filled. She was sq glad that they, too, loved him.* it was worth go­ ing to jail to know that one was loved like that! Not that it didn’t hurt to see him going to jail, of course. Jail and honor-are words that mean the same to the mountain dweller, i Sbe went on to tell him’ good-by. She- knew it would be hard, but she steeled herself; she would be a Little- ford, and strong. He saw her coming, and he turned his bay horse And rode to meet her. She stopped and clasped her hands, with her arms down full length, and tried to smile at him. “ You promised me,” he said’gently, “that.you’d go back to Patricia and finlsii your education.” “I keep my promises,” was the quickreply, “jest- like every other Littleford tbot ever lived kept their promiaea I, would ha-. ***»■* uaa Aornla,', e f'it hadn’t ha’ been—" . ._ And there she broke off 'abruptly.

"Good-by, little girl. I blJPe it will come out all right, and I be­ lieve it will.” .Babe slowly lifted her hand-to his. Her eyes were downcast “Good-by,” she told him brokenly. “And I hope it will come out all right, too—God knows I do, Bill Dale,” Thus they parted. Dale rode back to the sheriff and Major Bradley, and a minute later the three of them start­ ed for the lowland and Cartersville jail. 1When a bend In the dusty ox-wagon road had bidden them from view, Elizabeth Littleford turned homeward. Her mother followed her. The younger woman dropped to the stone step at the vine-hung front porch with the air of one who is very tired, plucked a full-blown marigold and began absently to tear its petals slowly apart. Mrs.' Littleford looked out across the, meadows, sighed, smoothed back her gray hair with both hands, and sat down beside her daughter. / “I wouldn’t worry about it Babe, honey,” she finally said. -Then she too plucked a marigold and began.to tear its petals slowly apart. "Ef he killed Adam Ball, It 'was to save him­ self. He’s a good man, honey. I think he’s about the best man I ever seed, Babe.’’ i “No, he never killed Adam Ball to save hisself even,” Babe replied. “He’s a fighter, but he ain’t no killer. Listen, mother, it might ha* been this away: \ " “He is ahind of a tree, and Adam is ahind of another tree. Adam shoots at his hat, and he shoots at Adam's hat—which is the reg”lar way of a two-man fight, as you know. Well, suddenly Adam he jumps up like he’s been shot, and falls a-groanin’ and a-twistin’. Bill Dale, = a-thinkin’ he’s killed Adam, comes out from ahind of his tree. Havin’ drawed BUI Dale out into the open by his trick, Adam gits ready to shoot and kill him. Jest as Adam is about to shoot, somebody else shoots and kills Adam and saves Bill Dale-^mebbe the’ ain’t time fo’ any­ thing else. Now don’t ye see? And don’t it all sound natchel, mother?” "I reckon it does,” granted the old woman. “But who was It shot Black Adam?” “Somebody who is a friend o’ Bill Dale’s,” said Babe. “Somebody who was a-follerin’ Bill with the idee o’ pertectin’ him ef he needed it. Somer body who knowed it was dangerous fo’ him to go off by hisself in the woods that away. Fve got it reasoned out jest like this..................And who­ ever it was 'at was friend enough to Bill Dale to kill a man to save him will be friend enough to own up when the proper time comes and keep Bill Dale ( Jom a-bein’ hung. Whoever it was 'Sit done it'is skeered bad. now, but later on he’ll shore tell it,’ ef it’ll save Bill. You jest wait and see, mother. “I, hain’t never fo’got,” Babe went on, after a moment “about Black Adam Ball a-tellin' me about a-workin' that same trick on a man over In Nawth Ca’liner—and he killed the man.' The law' never found it out And ye see what Black-Adam got 1Who lives by the sword shall perish by the sword.’* It’s in th^ Good Book, mothjr. honey; and. everything in the Good Book is God A’mighty’s truth, as you know.” ; “Ef I was pinned dpVn to guess who it was ’at done it,” drawled Mrs. Lit- tleford, “I’d guess it was By Heck. He was a plumb fool about Bill Dale. His maw she says he talks in his steep about Bill Dale. He was alius a-fol- jterin’ him around like a dawg.” Babe pointed to the meadow. Au aged and stooped and witchlike worn-' an was limping slowly through the* clover, coming toward them. “Granny Heck,” muttered Babe. Th&:.neighborhood's newsbearer and fortune-teller limped on up to the cabin, and dropped to the stone, step beside ..Ben Littleford's w ife' and daughter. “La, la, Ia F she panted, for the days were warm. “And hain’t it jest -turrible! I wisht I may' die this min­ ute ef I wouldn’t migh’t nigh as soon see my own son go to jail! But-’en it’ll all come out right y it Babe. I seed it in the cyards, an£ I seed it In the' cup.'

MEET OFFICIALS OF LEtlON President Seema Greatly Refreshed From His Vacation In the Bright “Land-of Flowers." 'Washington.—Problems, connected with the care of disabled soldiers were the first matters considered by President Harding on his return from a ten-day vacation -in Florida. The President called, Director Fortes, ot the Veterans’ bureau; Di­ rector Dawes, of the Budget bureau, and Brigadier General Sawyer, to meet Illinois officials of the Ameri­ can legion in conference for the pur­ pose of discussing the plan of gov­ ernment hospitalization and voca­ tional training of former service men. The Illinois officials were asked to state the criticism which they were said to have against the • present plan and to suggest any improve­ ment or amendment they .had in mind. , The President made known his deep personal interet in the sub­ ject and the desire of himself and other government officials to do everything possible for the welfare of flien whose disabilities have re­ sulted from their serving the United States. The special train conveying Mr. and Mrs. Harding and their party from Florida reached Washington shortly after noon, the. run having been made on schedule time and, without incident. The executive' and Mrs. Harding went at once .to the White House. Others who returned in 'the presi­ dential special were Secretary and Mrs. Weeks, Attorney General Dougherty, Under Secretary of State Fletcher," Brigadier General SaWyei and Secretary ChristiaiL Mr. Harding said he felt greatly benefited as* a result of rest and the numerous games of golf which marked his vacation stay, and de­ clared he had a “bully” time. Mrs. Harding and the other members of the party voiced similar sentiments. Secretary Weeks, who joined the party at St. Augustine for the re­ turn trip, said his vacation had.- put him in ‘tip top” condition.

Memphis.—Announcement that the United Confederate Veterans will still be allowed the old rate of a cent a mile to and from the annual reunion Jn Richmond, Va., was made by railroad officials here. The Southeastern Pas­ senger association at a meeting in St. Augustine last month announced that the reunion rate this year would be one fare for the round trip. ''This an­ nouncement raised a storm of protest from the veterans with the result that the railroads have granted the old rate. To Protect Bullock; Toronto. — Rev. William E.

Ho gain is made in yield or maturity by planting corn before conditions, of soil and atmosphere are right, in the opinion of the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture. Com growers in localities with a long season have observed that early, and late plantings of the same variety usually show wide1 differences in growth and number of days required to reach maturity. In general, com which is seeded. early requires a longer time to come up than that which is planted later, the plants also grow more slowly, are shorter, and bear their ears lower. These are commonly observed effects of the .date of planting. Best Yields From E.arly Seeding. Studies recently havk been made by the United States Department of Agri­ culture at the Arlington experimental farm near Washington, D. C., in order to obtain data which would supplement that obtained earlier at the various state experiment stations. Numerous experiments have been conducted by the state agricultural experiment sta­ tions to determine the influence of the different dates of planting on. com yields. The state experiments re­ viewed Indicate, that the best yields of; grain may be expected from the early seedlngs and the most rapid de­ velopment and greatest growth Irom the later seedings. Neitlier the ex­ tremely early nof the very late plant­ ings are desirable. Tlie department investigations were directed mbre to a study of the effects upon growth and development than to determining the most desirable date of planting from the standpoint of yield. The results of these studies, which extended over a five-year period, are presented in Department Bulletin No. 1014, Effect of Date of Seeding on termination, Growth, and Develop­ ment of Corn, by E. B. Brown and H. - S. Garrison, which may b.e- had upon , application to the department. The varieties of'com used', In the- experiments cover a wide range in the length of the growing season required. •'The data tabulated are limited-to the characters that seem to, have been consistently affected, although the points studied included the rapidity of germination, the number of .days from emergence to ripening, the height of stalks, the number of ears per plant, the average weight of ears, the average yield per plant, and the number of suckers. . In all the experiments the germina­ tion of corn increased in rapidity as the date of seeding occurred later. When sown early the sbort-season northern varieties came up sooner than the varieties from the central and southern ■ states. When sown later the differences in this respect were^not usually apparent. May or June Favored. The total growth of stalk was greatest from the seedlngs in June and Liberty.Bonds Are^ Missing. Washington.—Between $170,000 and $200,000 Jn negotiable Liberty bonds are missing from the Liberty bond branch of the treasury, W. H. Moran, chief of the secret service, said.

(Prepared by the United States Department, ot Agriculture.) . Even the pungent and tear-starting qualities of horse-radish are not suf-~ ficient to discourage insect enemies. In addition to twb other specific and two Incidental pests preying upon, this plant, entomologists of the United States Department of Agriculture re­ port a third specific enemy, Hnown as the European horse-radish webworm and described in a bulletin of that title, Department Bulletin No. 988, just issued.

While favoring horse-radish, it is also known to attack turnip and cabbage, and after feeding on the lower surface of the leaves sometimes webs them together near the ground. When abundant, it attacks the stalks even down to the roots. It- was first discovered in injurious numbers in Vir­ ginia, near the District of Columbia. In 1919, and occasional attacks have been noted in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. H.e moth' of the species is rather a bright ocher yellow, with a wing spread of about I inch, peculiarly spotted. Thd eggs are deposited in compact masses containing from half a dozen to a score. They are a little brighter green than the leaf, and each egg ie surrounded by an irregular ring of yellow spots. . . The webworm may.be controlled by arsenicals and by hand-picking on horse-radish, and more readily on other crops by fall and spring plow­ ing and frequent cultivation.

Of Big Advantage to Farmer to De, termine Purity and Germination of Various Grains. Whether the seed is for sale or tor his own use on the farm, the farmer will find it to his advantage to test his seed, or have it tested, for purity and germination. In making a purity test, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, it is cus­ tomary to determine the percentage of pure seed, inert matter such 4s dirt, chaff, and broken seeds, and foreign seeds, ijfludlng weed and other, kinds. A sample is taken varying in weight from I to 100 grams or more (a tea­ spoon for the clovers and small-seeded grasses, a tablespoon for the grasses, and a considerably larger amount for cereal grains), depending upon the size of the seed being examined. For the germination test usually two lots of 100 seeds each are placed on or between blotting paper, canton' flan­ nel, or such material, and kept in a room or chamber at a temperature of 60 degrees to 80 degrees F. for 3 to 28 days, depending upon the kind, of seed being tested. • Samples for purity and germination tests may be sent to the seed Iabora- tory of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C, or to the nearest branch seed labor-, ;itory of the.United States Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C, or . to the nearest branch seed laboratory located at Lafayette, Ind.; Columbia, Mo.; College Station, Tex.; Corvalli^, Ore. and Berkeley, Calif. ’I PUSHING ROAD CONSTRUCTION Mirked lmprovement In Economic Conditions for Highway Build­ ing in United States. : Economic conditions for highway building in all parts of the United Stetes have ehown marked improve­ ment: Railroad' facilities for han­ dling rond-buHding material -are much improved. : Labor conditions have been such as to . aid road building, Tlm increasing number, of unem­ ployed . men • and the depression gen­ erally causing more men io be Arown out of employment; have been favor a.ble -.tp, . contractors In - pushing roa.t construction. ..

" I WARD OFF DANGEROUS “COLD” Much Sicknc** May Be Prevented by Adaption, of a Few Preventive . “ Measure*." A few precautions will decrease the liability of" catching cold from ex­ posure to the rains of winter—as well as Its snows*. Some of the simplest preventatlves; are those that nature herself furnishes. None needs to catch a cold when wet If he or she will walk or ran home briskly. Wet clothing draws the heat from, the body and lowers the temperature below normal. This Is dangerous. -But if the heat -qf the body- IS maintained by exercise, little or no harm-results from the wet clothing. If obtainable, two or three lnmps of sugar should be eaten. This helps the heart’s- action and supplies considerable heat to the body. Uany deride the popular belief that it is impossible to catch cold from a wetting with sea water, but the state­ ment holds, much truth. The salt re­ tards evaporation, and thus chilling of the body is delayed. Obviously, that Is an advantage. Further, the salt sets as. a stimulant, and assists the clrinilation of the blood. That is an­ other advantage. Thus, unless in un­ usual circumstances; there is much less chance of a cold resulting from an Immersion In the sea than In fresh water.Those who feel much depressed in wet weather should form the habit of Increasing their rate of breathing. Tlie depression is due to the increase of vapor In the air, and the consequent proportionate decrease of oxygen. Quicker breathing, as is obvious, pumps more oxygen Into the system, and the depression departs. COREAN BOY MATURES EAR!*Y Youngster-May Be Married at Age of Seven, According to Custom of the Country. Any time after a Corean boy Is seven he may be married, and Be is seldom still unengaged at 12 or 14. At that time he winds his pigtail—if be still wears one In these crop-headed days —Into a topknot-and swaggers a bit In the presence of the unbetrothed. Formerly1- If a Corean boy had any schooling, at ali he squatted all day oh the schoolroom floor, learning to read and write, but not to speak Chinese, and be would have thought himself well edueated if he acquired a vague- knowledge of the maxims of Confucius^ He' often felt content to carry a; “jlggy” or to drive a pack pony or even to act as nurse to the baby while’ liis older brother wrestled with thej-Chinese classics. Under the new.regime the school hours are still long-.and strenuous, but the boys pursue a. Japanese course of study In Japanese.. They probably would vote their games more;interesting than any curriculum whatsoever. Their na­ tional sport is stone-fighting, which they-carry" on during the first fifteen days of the New Year., At the same season they-' have sky tournaments, in which they cut the string of one an­ other’s kites and take the falling kites as prizes.—Marietta Nelf in Asia Magazine. • . Root’s Cleverness: " A lawyer who. once opposed Elihu Root in a - breach-of-promise suit , tells this story: "My client, for all her broken heart; was a very pretty and vivacious girl. - Koot defeated her— and me—by ending his defense with these words: “ ‘Gentlemen of the jury, *5o you retllly think that this charmihg young lady’s life-is blighted or that her pros­ pects of getting - married are preju­ diced In the ieast? I don’t suppose you . do. There is not one of you who would be averse to forming the acquaintance of so delightful a per­ son. Why, look at her now—she is actually smiling at me, but I must at once inform her that I am not In the matrimonial.market.’”—Boston Tran­ script. • Unlucky Tom. A real old-fashioned Yankee was tell­ ing a friend* of the 111 luck experienced by his son Thomas. “Take the last case, as an example,” he said. ‘Must as soon as he1 went to Boston to work, Tom fell in love. She lived In one of the suburbs, and di­ rectly Tom-made, up his mind he liked her, he went and bought a fifty-trip ticket to-her place and—” “Well, - what happened?” “What; happened? >Vhy, he was turned down at the second call and the ticket was left on his hands! if that isn’t hard luck, please tell me what is!’’—Milwaukee Sentinel. New Ship Signals for Use in Fog. Most ship collisions in fog are due to the difficulty In detecting the exact direction, that the whistle and bell signals come .from.

Beware Growing Promises, Wliat makes it so easy for the | man with quesiionaable or worthless •’ stock for sale to read richly is the j desire of the average man to get un-j usual returns on his investment. A proposstion. that will pay a clear six per'cent’, which can be demons- strated to be souud as a gold coin, ofter has no shaw against another proposition that promises to pay eight -and yet cannot show a solid basis for such an offer. A thing that promises more than a fair return in a field where con­ servative returns are the general, rulq usually has a string, to it some­ where. ■ Somebody is likely to pay an unjust trioute in order to make this return for the investor. There is usually a strong ' element of speculation back of such proposi­ tions. Sometimes the speculations turns out well and the investor pats himself on the back for his wisdom aud sagacity. He does not consider that perhaps a majority of similar schemes fail to pan out at all and the investors are losers. He is merely a lucky “sucker” and not a successful investor. To bring those general remarks home, Davidson County has been combed by solicitors who have of­ fered unusual returns for this class of investment. Many farmers have taken chances. Some of them will win, but if some of them don’t lose it will bestrange. Even what,.may have been a-very successfull busi­ ness may be over-capitured by a watering of the stock, so that the big dividends of former days can:<; not again be posible. DuHng-: the- past few years there has been ex­ pansion of capitalization- that' has gone to fatten the profits'of a few. Unless expansion of capitalization is founded on real necessity for ex­ pansion of output it might be wise for the man with seving to invest to do some earnest thinking before he turns over his money.— Lexing­ ton Disoatch. Why The Money Goes. This ISiC ertainly an age in which- that proverb that says, riches have wings holds good. JPerhaps the first and greatest wing of riches is indulgence. It is possible to earn more money today than years ago, but it is so simple- and so extrava­ gantly easy, to [let it slip for the comforts and luxuries of life when we have it that few of us save very much. Its costs' a lot of money to to be well, Drugs cost ijiohey, doc­ tors cost money and nurses cost a great deal of it. And it costs mone}*- to be clean. There is hodoubt but that cleanliness is next to Godliness but it costs money just the same. The greatest item of expense, how­ ever^ :is our effort to be like other people an d to do W hat others do. A neighbor- buys an automobile and wemust have one just as handsome or a little better. We must dress like bthess dress and go where! others go, not because we always' want to, but because society, de- -znands st. And we a re sojnetimes careless about how we spend our inoney and' about the manner in which we take care of things that come into our "possession, and we pay for this carelessness. Some of us waste a living and then wonder why we cannot make ends meet: A close-fisted, stingy fellow is a- bout the most contemptible of God’s creation, a n d the man who never uses good common sense in the ex­ penditure of his money runs him a a close second.—Monroe Enauirer.

Will There Be a Rnsh For Jury • Service Now? - The Supreme Court of North Caro­ lina this week decided that - the ju­ rors in a liquor case had the right to'.smell and taste the liquid in ques­ tion before the court in order to de­ cide wqether it was intoxication or not. Now watch the rush to the court houses in Forth Carolinaby patriotic citizens who be., will willing to serve their .Codntry- since lhis . hew privilege is given to jurors in the li­ quor cases. The Supheme court say: "It was for the the jury to decide whether it was permissible for-them to use their sense of taste and smell in passing upon the question. They were not restricted to the testimony of the officers who acquired the imforma- tion upon which thev based the opinion by the same method ” Vow according to the”Supreme Court the officers will not have all of the tasting and the smelling to do in order to test the intoxicating qualities of the moonshing and other concoctions that may be sold and as a result get into ou-t cours —Cataw­ ba News Enterprise.

Mr. Hayes h"as been in Davieat but two courts, btit has made many friends during his stay among us. The solicitor is a candidate for re election this fall, and so far as we can learn, will have no opposition. His district is composed of seven counties, Davie, Yadkin, Wilkes1 Avery, Mitchell, Watauga aiid Alexander. It is' needless to say that he will he elec­ ted by an overwhelming majority. Detour Around Mocksville. Since work has begun on the road through Mocksville it is neces­ sary for those passing this way to points north to detour when they arrive1 at the square. Instead of going out North Main street it is necessary for you to detour via Southern depot, going East for one mile, passing Bethel church and crossing the railroad, thence com­ ing West again until you get to the Post Road one mile North of the square. In coming from points North you will turn to the left at northern limits of the town and make detour as above, passing rail­ road station and coming up Depot street to tlie‘ square. The main highway will be closed for the next few months. This detour is about three miles long. To Organize Fair Association. A meeting will be held at the court house on Monday, April 3rd, at one o’clock for the purpose of organizing a Davie County Fair As­ sociation. Col. G. E. Webb, of Winston-Salem, was in town last Wednesday for the purpose .of as­ sisting in the organization, but ac ­ tion was posponed until April 3rd. All the citizens of Davie county who are interested in a fair for thi£ . county are urged to be present* on that date and assist in the organi­ zation. A fair will mean much to the county.

Editor Davie Record:—Ihave been informed th^t the people of Davie) county and surrounding territory; are under the impression that I plead guilty to the crime I was charged witu in vour community. That, if investigated, will be fonnd to be a mistake, because I could hardly sub mit to an awful charge like this, knowing my innocence.' When a man’s life is at stake it is something to study about AU the evidence a- gainst me was purely circumstantial. With God’s word to icarry- with me to the penitentiary at Ralieeh, I’m satisfied, that I won’t have to stay long. “All things whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall re­ ceive.” Believing this' beautifnl verse and trusting Him superior in all things is what I rely on as to my return home a better nipn, standing for all is right and trying to show men the bsighter side of life always I want to thank the kind people' of Mocksville, especially the sheriff and his deputies, also Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Tomlinson, for the courtesies extended me during my stay here. Would to God that we bad millions of mothers like these, who remember you even inside the prison walls. My thoughts and prayers will-always be for this bind of work, and may I ask that I and my dear little family be. remembered in your prayers I ful­ ly acknowledge that I have done things unbecoming to a man, but I have never been a crook and I pray for the time that the people of mv StAte will see my name inplacafcAe sides in the court proceeding^ A letter of encouragement often helps people in my condition aflfeaip..

State Chairman, in a letter to Rev. W. L. Sherrill at Mocksville, county chairman, congratulated him and his workers on their splpndid show- ingin the.campaign ihis year. For the county'to raise its quota so, quickly, Mr. Daniels wrote, in these days, wljen we are called to give to so many worthy causes for the Benefit of humanity, it reflects great credit not only upon the tnen and women who raised this money but upon the people of the county. Davie county’s $840 will feed, clothe.and educate 14 orphans in the stricken Bible lands. where Christ lived and died. These children were, made or­ phans during Turkish depredations in Armenia in the name of Moham­ medanism during the great War when the fathers of many of them were killed in defense of ,the vast oil fields of Baku. The failure of Germany to get this. precious oil shortened the war by many months in the opinion of military experts^ and therefore made possible the re­ turn home of many a North Caro­ lina boy who would otherwise be sleeping beneath a wooden cross in France.

PROJECTS TO BE INSPECTED Proposals of Ford, Engstrum and Others Held in Abeyance Until the Party Returns. Washington.—More than a score of members of the senate agriculture and the house military committees left here for a personal inspection of the government’s power and nitrate projects at Muscle Shoals and Gorgas, Alabama. Pending their return, it was announced, the investigations of the private offers, for lease, purchase, completion and operations of the prop­ erties wili be suspended by the house committee. The senate portion of the delega­ tion was headed by Chairman Norris, of the agriculture committee, to which the offers of Henry Ford, the Alabama Power company and Fred­ erick Engstrum, of Wilmington, N. C., have been referred by the senate for study. and report. The Itopse mem­ bers had as their leader Representa­ tive Hull, of Iowa, senior /majority member of the military committee. Senator Norris said the delegation would confine itself to a thorough study of the projects from a physical standpoint And had decided before its departure to refrain from side trips to other places than Gorgas and Mus­ cle shoals. The house members made a similar decision in executive session and like the senate committee, voted down suggestions that the delegation visit Memphis, Chattanooga, Atlanta and other municipalities which had extended invitations for the congress­ men to visit with them during their trip. Both the agriculture and military committees will begin active consid­ eration of the Muscle Shoals question as soon as the members return from Alabama. Chairman Norris said then pending offers would be taken up by the senate committee and hearings held on them collectively. He also announced that unless he altered his decision while In Alabama, he would introduce a bill in the senate upon his return proposing a government owned and controlled corporation to take over the question of future develop­ ment of the shoals properties. name “BAYER” IS ON GENUINE ASPIRIN Take Tablets Without Fear, if You See the Safety "Bayer Cress."

Three Have Been Awarded Highest British Decoration for Bravery in Face of the Enemy. The English in asking that the Vic­ toria Cross be awarded to the cat which so heroically saved her young during the fire of the Printemps only follow an example given by the queen of England herself.

In tiie last war at the utmost 50 have been awarded.’ However, several dogs belonging to the British army have received this honor. Tliese were: Bob of the Itoyal Berkshire, which in the Afghanistan war saved the life of several soldiers; Jack, which accom­ plished the same feats at the battlt- of the Alnta, and Jerry, the hero of the Crimean war, which received from the city of Dublin a medal and—a dinner.- The odds are that the ntess made the dog happier than the medal.—Mew York Tribune. m m Idle to Borrow Trouble.

Washington.—Twenty years ago, if Put Crowe had been unwise enough to appear anywhere in Washington, much less at the office of the head of the department of justice, as he did re­ cently to interview thfe attorney gen­ eral, they would have grabbed him and put him away for 100 years or so. In- those days Patrick was about the most -wanted fugitive anywhere on the face of the globe. On his head was a price of $50,000 and there was no stipulation attached to the reward re­ garding 'the • condition of , the. said Orowe wlien delivered f. o. b. Dead or alive it was all the same to justice Uoldup man. gun lighter, bank thief, train robber and kidnaper, Pat Crowe was a five-minute egg in the Wfeteria of- crime. Physically powerful, his unusually intelligent mind and hi* recklessness made him a particularly dangerous person. He put a mansard reof on his career when he kidnaped the Cudaliy boy, son of the meat packer, and separated the millionaire from $25,000 in gold coin as ransom. All of that lies back in the fast dim­ ming past, back in the thickening shadows. Pat Crowe is a very differ­ ent sort of ' person nowadays. Tlie black hair has turned snow white—as white as the “snow” he denounces with the fire and fury of his Celtic temperament—and there are half a hundred tiny wrinkles crossing and criss-crossing the pink expanse of his good natural face. / Has Spiritual Rebirth. His physical strength hasn’t wasted a-greut deal, and Pat would be a mean customer to handle in an impromptu rough and tumble. The big change, the whacking big metamorphosis, ik In the innards of Patrick—a spiritual rebirth. The hard boiled egg and reckless criminal of 1902 is the gentle, self-ordained reformer of 1922, tre­ mendously interested in saving boys mid young men from the vicious habits he sees increasing every day. “Sieighridlng to hell,” says Pat Crowe, meaning that the drug habit Is increasing . steadily and enormously, for “slelghrlding” Is one of the pic­ turesque words in the argot of the dope ,fiend. I t. is good,- sound,; logical slang, built on constructive rules that Lindley Murray or Brander Matthews could scarcely sniff at (ni) pun In-, ttended). For in this singular argot “snow” means the “dope,” the drug; for heroin, morphine and cocaine are as white as the driven snow and the suggestion is simple and effective. ' When a party of .addicts meet to­ gether to whiff themselves into, ob­ livion the conceit has it that they are on a sleighing party, traveling smooth- ily over the “snow.” And it is this Trlghtful sieigbrldlng which will ruin the republic, asserts Pat Crowe, unless the government at Washington takes bold with a strong hand. I •• >‘"Tbere'are 2^00.000.snow birds ln the United States to-day,” says Pat, referring to the documents he went over the other day.tvlth.Attorney Gen­ eral Daugbertya - wThey spend between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 every day for the: dope. There is no question but that the evil fs 'spreading or that itwill continue to spread. Spreads Crlmd Like Pestilence, “Back of the traffic ls-un interna- .'.tlonal ring, one or two of whose mem­ bers I could. almost name;-and they are served 'by hnndreds of vicious agents, to whom?humaa<life i9 abso­ lutely less than nothing. . They are served by the cunning of serpents and the cruelty of wolves. •‘The result is tout the heads of the snow ring net something like $10,000,- UUO a year prout lrdui uie traiuc in (he United States alone. This ring is backed by organized iinancial interests. Every day it spreads crime like a pestilence. For a price it deals out agouiV-ed death. The heads of the snow ring are greater criminals than Judus Iscariot. Tlieir vendors are be­ neath the level of white slavers. "Normal human beings have no idea whatever,” Pat Crowe went on, "of what goes on in the dope circles of New Iork or Chicago, among the big cities, or in such peculiar communi­ ties as Hollywood, the motion pic­ ture center, where thousands live that are half crazy from too much easy money and too much notoriety, who have exhausted every normal sensa­ tion. But if the evil was confined to the cities it would not be so terrible to contemplate. “It is no longer a city vice. It is spreading to the small cities and to the country towns. This is due in part to the returned soldiers, many of whom had become accustomed to mor­ phine or cocaine in the relief of suf­ fering from wounds. Some of it is due to the temporary visit of young men and young women, craving ex­ citement, In the cities. And much of it is due to the deliberate' effort of the snow ring to extent its field of profit—to corrupt the small towns as the big cities have been poisoned. “Physicians are in the pay of the snow ring. Nurses are in its pay. Dnig stores and young drug clerks that need money are bought up by the ring. I am speaking of the small town, mind you, not the big city, though the same' ls' true In the big city. Every devilish trick and device that can be thought of "is resorted to by the agents of the ring to encourage the use of dope. “Usually a little cocaine is suggested as a local anesthetic to relieve some sharp pain. Then a little morphine may be recommended to overcome nervous inability to sleep. Then heroin Is introduced as ‘something new and not so harmful as the old drugs.’ and pretty soon another victim is chained to the gatl'eys. “In the first place,” Pat Crowe con­ tinued) “I recommended W the ' at­ torney general that there be a federal investigation — congressional — into the drug evil in America. I find the THELMA A /WONDER GIRL Little Thelma Wells cjf New Tork la only seven and she has a regular child­ ish love for dolls and “playing dress- up” and dancing to the music of the hurdy-gurdy. But also bas a marvel­ ous ability, to “read minds” and to make difficult calculations at lightning speed. When tested by Henry Wood- house, the .scientist, she looked at Us dosed watch and said: **Tt was mad? In Denmark and has Swiss.movements. The number Is U,0k8. Tou haven't had It for a year-yet* JTou have bad It-for justa little more than a month.” AU of which was ,true. " : - New York City Beggars Earn $60 to $b0 a Day New Tork City is stirred over the. increasing number of public beggars. It was brought out at a recent aldennanic meeting that any number of beggars were averaging from $60 to $80 a ■ day. The most select begging field is In the theatrical district wnere heart throb productions are playing. The audiences; are torn with emotion as they leave and never fail to give alms. The next best field Is the sub­ way exists, where/ stenogra­ phers go tripping, forth to work.. Beggars, it is said, play upon the feminine superstition that it ts bad luck to begin a day by fefusing alms. Many beggars be­ come so opulent that they spend their week-ends at Atlantic City. SPENT HALFB TIME IN BED Fannei4S Wife TeDs How Lyijja £ Finkham’s Vegetable Compound MadeHer a Well Womau Carter’s Creek, Tenn.—‘ ‘ Three Veaf, ago I was almost an invalid.

If they are upset with somefemaleaiiment and troubled with such symptoms aj Mrs. Galloway had, the smallest duty seems a mountain. If you find it hard to keep up, if you are nervous and irritable, without smbi- tionand out of sorts generally, give the Vegetable Compound a fair trial. Iye believe it will help you greatly, for it has helped others. N government authorities impressed with the facts and statistics that I laid be­ fore them. - I think a resolution will be introduced In congress before long asking for an investigation. The next srep will be corrective and construc­tive. “It may be that the government will, in the end, have tq -construct and maintain sanitariums, one on the Facific coast, one on the Atlantic coast, one on the Southwest coast, one in the Central States and one on the southeast coast or section, for during tbe nation's drug addicts, thus making it more diflicult for the snow ring to extend its terrible traffic, a traffic that is actually and positively threatening the very fiber of the nation's manhood. “I have recommended to the United States government that a million farms of forty acres or less be provided by the government from what are now waste and unimproved lands, and that the government spend whatever is necessary to put these lands in shape for cultivation, and then offer them on long time and easy terms to a million young men coming year by year into manhood. ’ • Correctional Methods Needed. “More than 75 per cent of the crimes committed in the United States would h$ver have been perpetrated if youths had had the proper opportunity and environment. Every year, it may in­ terest you to know, 400,000 persons, 100,000 of them neglected lads, are committed to - various terms of im­ prisonment by the courts of this coun­ try—victims of economic conditions. “There is dire necessity of im­ mediate correctional methods before the crime or-misdemeanor has been committed. Put the excess boys on farms. Encourage them, if neces­ sary use a little duress.' Keep them in -the open. Make them produce. Then the snow ring will lose Its re- Cfults and the vice will be stamped out as a snake is killed. “State reformatories are no good for cori-ecting youths. They have failed to function for the good of society. Usu­ ally they inculcate vice rather than implant virtue. The boy comes out worse, not better. State and city in­ stitutions do not know how to treat and cure the drug habit Usually thev increase the craving. ' • . “No;, these , reforms must .,be accom­plished, like most other big Vhmrt these days, bjrthe strong, efficient cen­ tral government There is no other hope. “To get this done I iiave devoted iuv life. Before I die I want to see the snow ring ruined, its lehders rotting In JaU and Its agents shot down by policemen or sent away for long terms. I want to see federal farms In small plots offered to Uie American youth seeking opportunity and trem­bling between vice and virtue.

Synopsis.—Youne Carlyle YVHbur- ton Dale,, or “Bill Dale,” son of a wealthy coal operator, John K. Dale, arrives at the * Halfway Switch, In eastern Tennessee, abandoning a life of Idle ease—and incidentally a bride, Patricia Clav- ering, at the altar—determined to make iris own way In life. He meets “Babe4' Llttleford, typical mountaineer girl. “By4' Heck, a character of the hills, takes hint to John Moreland4S home. Moreland is chief or his “clan,4* which has an old feud with the Littlefords. He tells Dale of the ^tilling of his brother, David Moreland, years ago, owner of rich coal deposits, by a man named Carlyle. Dale behoves the man was his father. Dale makes his home with the Morelands. Talking with Babe, Dale Is ordered by “Black Adam’4 Ball to leave “his gtrl“ alone. Dale whips the bully. He arranges with John Moreland to develop the coal deposits. Ben Llttleford sends a challenge to John Moreland to meet him with his followers In bat­ tles. Moreland agrees. The two clans line up for battle. A Llt­ tleford fires the Ilrst shot. Babe, In an effort to stop the fighting, crosses to the Moreland side of the river, and Is accidentally shot by her father and seriously wounded. The flght stops and Babe Is taken to the city. Doctors announce she Is not seriously hurt. Dale meets an old friend. Bobby MclAiurln, who has married Patricia CJaver- ing, Dale4S father admits he killed David Moreland and offers him funds to develop the coal. Dale declines and gets funds elsewhere. He realizes he loves Babe, who goes to live with Patricia to be ed­ ucated. Henderson Goff, a coal man, appears on the scene. Dale has an exciting encounter with Goff, and Is saved by “By Heck.“ He tries to end the feud. John Moreland and Ben Llttleford de­ clare peace. Babe comes back home, but finally promises to re­ turn to Patricia. Golf stirs up trouble. Dale and Black Adam ex-J change shots. Black Adam Is killed. Dale is accused of killing Black Adam. Babe promises to re­turn to Patricia. “I axed you, souuy boy,” the witch- Itke old woman went on, “who did you reckon killed Black Adam?” “The’a rain In the air,” as though he hud not heard. “Ef It-don’t rain to­ day, It’ll shore rain tonight.” “Now Jooky here!” snapped Granny I-Iecfc. “I said -who did you think killed Adam Bull?” By Hcck did not smile, nor did he frown. “Ef It don’t rain today nor to­ night,” he drawled, “It’ll shore rain tomorrer, I tell ye, mother, the’s rain In the air.” “By.* By! l'e dadblamed IdjltI" protested the old woman vehemently.. “Now you answer' me what It was I axed yet” Said Samuel Heck, unperturbed: “Grnndpap Moreland still has to take his old gray cat down oil o' the front po’ch roof every mornln' of his life. Jlm iilttleford’s wife’s son’s grandpa’s son-in-law Is named Jlm Llttleford. Abner Moreland’s got a old speckled oxen ’at ain't got but one good eye. Isaac Llttleford talks through his nose.

Maw?” “Whut!” ”Le’ me ax ye a question,” with a mock solemnity that was ultra-ridicu­ lous. “Please don’t try to joke wl’ me, yore pore hongry che-ild. Maw, hawnest to goodness, will ye. tell me the truth?" Hopeful, she bent toward him. “O’ course, honey boy, I’ll tell ye the truth. What It is, darlin’?” He whispered It: “Maw, don't de­ ceive me. What was my maiden name?” Granny Heck became so angry that she trembled. To her, baffled curiosity was but little better than torture. “I wish I may drap, dead right here In my tracks,” she, declared shrilly, “ef I git you a dadslatted bite to eat ontel you gl’ me.a sensible answer! Who, I said, dang it all, did you think It was killed' Black Adam, the hound dawg o' puggatory?” ' “Don’t talk so Infernal loud, moth­ er,” and By Heck smiled a pale smile.. “I don’t think who killed Black Adam : I know who killed Black Adam. But, lgod, It needn’t to: worry Bill Dale none! Glt this here, mother dear—, whoever It was done It shore ain’t a-goln’ to let najry hair In Bill Dale's head- suffer fo’ it!" One of old Granny Heck’s bony fin­ gers shot out toward her son like a weapon. %| “It was you. By I” she accused, “It was you killed Black Adam Ball! Now own up to me, son, and I’ll bake ye some' cawnbread with algs and hawg- renderin’s In It. Wasn’t It you that done I tr By Heck looked toward some fleecy white clouds that were sailing slowly, like ships of silver ana pearl In a sunny cerulean sea, over the rugged crest of the majestic Blg pine. "The’s rain In the air,” he drawled. “Ef it don’t rain today, It’ll rain to­ night ; ■ and ef it don’t rain tonight, It'll rain tomorrer. Yeuh; the’s rain in the air,, mother, as shore as dam­ mit.” CHAPTER XII. . Jailed. Cartersvllle nestles close between the points of two outlying foothills, and It Is a delightfully lazy and “old- fashioned town. For the most part it is made up of gabled old brick bouses, which have pretty'.settings ot green lawn, roses, honeysuckles ghd ; trees. Even In the small business district, the streets are lined with trees. They have electric lights there, and water mains, a common school and a high schodl, a courthouse, a jail and a theater. It was a little after tUghtfall when Dale and the. other two men-rode through the shaded streets. Dale noted- that the people they met under the swinging lights spoke cordially and with marked courtesy to his compan­ ions. It was very evident that the of­ ficer and Majof Bradley were In high standing In their home town. Sheriff Tom Flowers drew In before a hltching-rack that stood In front of the courthouse^ a great old wooden building with, a clock In'Its tower. "We'll dismount here,” said he. . They-did. The major took the rein of Dale’s horse.. “I’U see Giat the animal Is. well "No, Maw,” -Grinned Her Son. cared for, sir,” he said .to Dale.' “And CHAPTER XI—Continued. —10— The three women turned their eyes toward the lanky moonshiner. He was standing stralghter than, they had ever seen ,him standing before, nnd he held his repeater across one of Ills thin shoulders In a manner that was almost soldierly. It was as though he had just discovered a hith­ erto unknown depth to himself. The truth was that he was carry­ ing a secret that was great, and al­ most too much for-him. His aged mother rose with a rheu­ matic groan. "hooky here. By,” she demanded, “what on earth’s the mat­ ter of ye? Ha’ ye done went and swallered a rifle’s ramrod, or a flshin’ pole, that ye walk so cussed straight and look like a plumb dadblamed fool?” “No, maw,” grinned her son, “Nothin’ like It. I’m jest hongry, that’s all. My gosh, ef I don’t feel hongry enough to eat a whole raw yaller. dawg! And top It off with a couple o’ baked house- cats. Durn my eyes and blast my for- rard. I wlsht ye’d come and go home along as I go, maw, and git me some dinner.” “AU right, By, all righty.” To Mrs. ■Llttleford, "Come down and bring yore knlttln’. and spend the day wl’ me. Good luck to ye, Babe, when ye go back to the city!” ' When they were within a hundred yards of their cabin home beside the fiver, Granny Heck said to her son; whose rhlnd seemed inordinately busy: ’-‘Who d’ye reckon killed Black Adam, the hound dawg o’ Torment, fty, darlln’T* \ ’Tm »J«*1«’ to’ rain today,” very U M If 9 By Heck. Ias soon as I have seen to our horses, Fll be with you. I wish to talk mat­ ters ovw with you. Suppose ! ' bring sapper for us both, eh?” - Dale , thanked Bradley, and tdroed away with the officer, They walked a short block'and entered a low, square building of brick and stone oil which the windows were small and high and. barred with iron. Dale.knew'that It was the CatteravUle jail, and his heart sank In spite of him. JusT os death by vloteaoe had beeti enttrely^new to him, so also was this entirely new to him. Flowers took a ring of beavy keys from the hand of the jailer, and led the way down a whitewashed corridor. It was hot yet bedtime, and the other prisoners, were still.up; some of them were reading newspapers, others were trying to mend their clothing, still others were doing nothing. VA few of them called out boldly amf bade the new prisoner welcome—and each of these received a gruff order from the sheriff to keep quiet. Dale paid no at­ tention whatever to his would-be tormentors., ' ■ ' At an Iron door at the end of the corridor, the officer- halted and faced about. “If there could be such a thing as a comfortable ,cell here,” he said In low and kindly tones, “it’s this one.” He went on earnestly: “Now I want you to believe me when I tell you that it Is with real regret that I put you behind a door of Iron. But If I didn’t do it, somebody else would do It; and it’s possible that I can be a little more deceift about it than another officer would be.” “I realize all that, y’lcnow,” replied Dale, “and I'm very much obliged to you, sheriff." Flmvers unlocked the door, and Bill Dale walked in. Flowers locked the door and went away. Dale began to inspect his quarters. To all appearances, they were at least clean. There was a narrow bed cov­ ered with a pair of gray blankets, a stool and a soapbox, and nothing more. The light In the corridor behind him made snaky black lines of bar-shadows on the brick partition walls and the outer wall of stone. Dale shuddered In spite of himself. He put up one hand and turned on si small light, which dissipated the uncanny shad­ ows—and showed him a line from Dante’s “Inferno” that to him seemed very miserable; some former occupant of that cell had written it with char­ coal on the whitewashed outer wall. Then Dale sat wearily down on the narrow bed, leaned his head upon his hands, and began to think. He had always wanted' difficulties to overcome, barriers to surmount, a work to do, a fight to fight for him­ self. In full measure be had found them every one. He did not doubt his ability to overcome the difficulties, sur­ mount the barriers, do his work well and. fight his fight as a good man fights, and win—If It were not for the charge of having shot and killed Black Adam Ball! It seemed to him now that that must end all that was worth while for him. For that , was more than a difficulty, more than a barrier. He firmly believed that it had been his buliet that had finished the earthly existence of the giant hlliman. True, it had lbeen an accident But how was he to convince a jury that it had been an accident? Would the jury take his word for It? The jury would not of course. The mysterious third shot, that had come from a little distance—but he could not reasonably expect deliver­ ance from that source. If only be bad held down his abominable, savage tem­ per; if only he had— Major Bradley interrupted his un­ pleasant train of thought. “No brooding there, my boy!” Dale, looked up. The old attorney, as neat In appearance as though be had not even seen a saddle that day, was standing just outside the hate­ ful door of bars. Beside him .stood a whlteclad negro boy with a big tray of steaming food on one hand and a pot of steaming coffee In the other. The jailer came and unlocked the door; also he very consjderately brought another stool and fresh water. The major entered the cell, and;.the negro followed. An amused twinkle appeared In Dale’s eyes as Bradley put the tray down on the soapbox. There was enough for five threshing-machine hands! The black boy was sent to the front door to wait. " / - “I thought you’d be as hungry as I am,'and Tin As hungry as poor old By Heck ever was!” laughed the major-, as he sat down and began to pour the coffee. “Riding always made me as hungry as a bear In April. Light right into it, Dale. There’s nothing like a good steak, for any meal, when a fellow is half starved; eh. Dale?. Try that one, won’t yon? I told Massen- gale. rd.cause his beheadment if these steaks weren’t perfect M assengalehe added, “runs .the hotel here, the Eu-, reka Funeral Parlors, and the One- Price Glothing Emporium.” “I wonder," smiled-Bill- Dgle, “what be does with his spare time?” ■■■■ Bradley laughed, Mb eyes twinkling merrily. Dale found that: he'too-was hungry, ;now that savory odors had invaded his nostrils. 1A minute later, Und he had pronounced his steak deli­ cious. . . '• j ■ - “Massengale shall I not suffer ' be- headment,” said the !major; - and he began -to capve: his own steak. Jt was an excellent meal,-the grim surroundings, notwithstanding. : When It was over, the-negro boy came and: took away the. dishes, and received -with a gladsome: griatbe two silver, colits that wwe gives hlttu' Then Bind­ ley produced a handful of cigars, and ,two of them were promptly lighted. “Now, sir,” said the. old lawyer, "I feel like talking. Let’s see, you gave your man Hayes' ■ orders to carry the work right along as though nothing had happened, didn’t you? And the sheriff is to go back the day after to­ morrow to arrest two or three Balls and two or three,'Torreys, to see what he can find out concerning the dyna­ miting of the two buildings and the trestle—today was not a good time to make the arrests. .Am I correct?” “Correct,” nodded Dale. Bradley regarded his cigar thought­ fully. "Now,” he said In a low tone, sud­ denly lifting his gaze to the other's face, “tell me about the tiling that brought you here. Don't omit even the slightest detail. Nobody can overhear you if you will hold your voice down. These walls are very thick, you see. Well, you may begin.” In carefully guarded tones, Bill Dale gave a straightforward account of the whole unfortunate occurrence. The major listened Intently to every word of It, so intently that he allowed his cigar jo go out. Often he stopped his client and asked him to repeat cer- “I’ve Come Here to Own Up to the Killin’ o’ Black Adam Ball,” Began the Young Hillman. , tain portions of- the story In order that he might be doubly sure of e point As Major Bradley rose to ask the jailer to come and let him out, Dale muttered downheartedly: “Tell me, major: what do you think of my case? It looks rather bad, doesn’t it?” “Not bad enough to warrant yoifr feeling blue over it, -my boy!” said Bradley, showing his polished white teeth In a smile that was meant to be reassuring. “I think we’ll get you out of it. Anyway, don’t worry about it Worry will kill a cat, they say I Yon didn't kill Adam Ball. John Moreland had taught you how to shoot pretty well; and if you took even half as careful an aim as you think you did, you couldn’t have missed Ball’s hat by So much. • , “I have an Idea, Dale,” he resumed, “that if we knew who fired that third shot weld know who did for Ball. It -might have, been done in order .to save you. Ball' was noted, I-understand, as an unfair and tricky fighter. He might have been trying to trick you when he rose and fell groaning. Perhaps he meant to draw you into the open, that he might have a clean shot at you. Eh?” Dale ■ shook his head goomily. “Hardly plausible, major; In that event there was notMng against the man whose bullet finished Ball, be­ cause he did It fo save me; and he would have owned to it and prevented my arrest. A-man who liked me well enough to kill Ball to save my life would like me ^vell enough to confess and save me from suffering for it. i am sure of that, major.” “Ah, my boy,” smiled the older of the two, "you don’t yet know, the moun­ tain heart. Jall is a terrible thing to the ,liberty-loving- mountaineer. But luve of you,; and love; of fair-dealing, will soon overcome the fear of jail, and you will be=, freed—If what I strongly suspect; proves to be well founded. 111 leave you now, Dale. I’ll see you In the. morning, sir. Good­ night I” ' > When his optimistic attorney had gone. Dale glanced once more' at the to him miserable line from Dante’s “Inferno,” and began to remove his outer- CloGilng preparatory to going to bed. He did not feel anything- like so .confident concerning the outcome of his, trial, as Major . Bradley evidently felt. Tben .be. became even mote dejected, and he toM himself that the major had spoken so reassuringly merely to help him keep up heart. The night passed, and another bright summer-day dawned, and in the Car- tersville jail there was one prisoner who had not slept at all. Each of those long and heavy black hours had been an age to this prisoner to whom jail was so new.At noon a furious windstorm, ac­ companied by much vivid lightning and blinding rain, ,sprang out of the west and began to sweep the country­ side and out of the lowering wet gloom there came one to deliver Bill Dale. He was a mountaineer, young and stal­ wart and strong, and about him there was much of that certain English fine­ ness that was so striking in his father. He entered the low, square building of brick and stone and stopped in the center of the corridor, where he stood, while water.ran from his wet clothing and gathered In little pools at his feet, and looked to his right and to his left. Dale saw him, and ciied out In sur­ prise: “Caleb!” Caleb Moreland walked straight, his head up and his shoulders back, a splendid picture of virile young man­ hood, to the end of the corridor. He gripped two of the door’s hated bars, bars that had long been worn smooth by other human hands; he pressed his smoothly shaven, sunburned face against the iron, and smiled. “How are ye a-feelin’ by this time. Bill? It’s some h—I of a place, ain’t It?” Dale took a step toward him. “Well, a queen’s boudoir is nicer. What are you doing here, Cale?” '• “I’ve come to set you free,” said Caleb Moreland. Dale stared unbelievingly. “But that Is Impossible, Cale. How could you "set me free?” “Call Tom Flowers, and I’ll sight ye.” Dale called, and (the officer came im- faediately. Caleb' Moreland turned rom the cell door and faced him. "I’ve come here to own up to the killin’ o’ Black Adam Ball,” began the young hillman. He swallowed, went a trifle pale un­ der his tan, and continued bravely: “Bill Dale tbar, he never done IL I am the one ’at done it.^-BIll he shot at Adam, but he misled—Adam had done shot at Bill fust, y’onderstand, Tom. But I didn’t miss. I don’t never miss. I’m a plumb tombstone shot They alius rules me out at any shootin’ match. I’d ha’ owned "up to It yeste’- day, but the thought, o’ jail had me skeered bad. I jest cain’t let as good a man as, Bill Dale thar suffer fo’ a thing I dine myself. So you let him out, Tom, and put the right man In thar.” Blowers had a good heart, and this touched it. But he was not very much surprised. ' “Tell us about It, Caleb,” he re­ quested. Caleb looked toward Dale, then he faced the.lord of Cartersville’s little prison again. "Well, shuriff, when I seed Bill Dale go off toward the trustle by hisself and alone, I knowed right then he was in danger o’ bein’ laywayed by some o’ them thar lowdown Balls and Cherokee Torreys. So I decides, to foiler atter him and gyitrd him, with­ out him a-knowin’ anything. about It, which same I ,done. When he met Adam Ball—” He broke off abruptly. , “Go on.” urged Flowers. “I reckon I won’t,” smiled Caleb, and his eyes were, still twinkling., “I reckon I won’t do -no more talkin’ Jest now. Yes, I reckon the proper place fo’ me to do my big talkin’ is In the co’tehouse at my trial. Lock me up will ye Tom?” “We’ll see,” said Flowers. Forthwith he dispatched-a deputy for Judge Carter and Major Bradleyi who hastened to the Jail. An hour Jater Caleb Moreland was the occupant of the cell at the end of the whitewashed corridor, and Dale was mounting his bay horse Fox to ride back into the heart of the ever­ lasting hills. He arrived two hours after nightfall. The Morelands were glad to see him, and the Littlefords were glad to see him. There was re­ joicing there in the broad valley that lies between David Moreland's moun­ tain and the Big Pine. Everybody had been expecting him, and many were the pairs of eyes that had been waich- Ing for him. He found hlthself sud­ denly wishing, with a tightening at his throat, that his father could know how much bigger and how. much bet­ ter it was to be thus esteemed than to be wealthy. Luke took charge of bis tired horse and led it away, tb the old log barn and to some fifteen ears of yellow corn. Luke’s father escorted . him proudly, the guest of hon»r, In to one of Addle Moreland’s incomparable old; fashioned suppers, which was none the worse for being late.

That is a natural question to raise concerning going to church. This whole newspaper would not begin to be big enough to catalog the benefits that are in store for you if you enter the house of God and worship there in a true and reverent spirit. Do you want to learn? To improve? To search the heart of God and the heart of men? To analyze character? To learn your failings? To correct them? To go thrbugh with a friendly heart and an open mind? To have abiding faith in others and yourself? Also to lift yourself higher?. Then g o to church... regularly, for the church can educate and broaden you in these and a thousand and one other ways. Go to church faithfully and you will Tbe amazed at the goodly re­ ward tliere is in it for you. The time t o go to church is every Su nday- The time to begin is R e x t Sunday.

SANFORD SONS COMFY. ft * S B y H apsburg Liebe Located in one of those feud sections ot the South, where one meets that odd­ ly blended blocsd of Puritan and Cavalier; where God­ fearing men recognize few laws excepting these o f their own making; where they read the Bible, pray for their Ssemies and then go forth heavily armed prepared to kill on sight; where the suf­ ferings of th e w om en, mother-love, wi/e-iove and sister-love are working a change in code and grad­ ually subduing primitive instincts. One of the most fascinating • settings for romance and adventure, it has been too much neglected. Hapsturi: Liebe helps-to supply the deficiency with this charm­ ing story.
