Tlic Rcpublican’parta has always Ikcii :1 PartV honest money and sound financial policies. Its re cord in I Iiis regard is a matter of Iiistorv. i The close of the Civil war found Ihe United Sta es government with ;i large outstanding bounded in debtedness incurred in order to serve the Union. Her paper cur- reiicv was worth only 38 cents on the dollar. At this time began the Lliverence Ot the the financial poli cies of the Republican aiid Demo cratic parfies. ' The Democratic party demanded that the obligaitonS of the govern ment be paid in depreciated paper currency. The Republican party, in the platform of-T868, at the convention which nominated Grant, incorporated the plank which stated: “ We denounce all forms of repudiation as a national crime; and the national houor requires the payment of the’public indelteJness in the uttermost good faith to all creditors at home and abroad, not only according to '{lie letter, but spirit of the laws under which it was contracted.” In the first act of Congress sign ed by President Grant, the United States government removed all purpose to . discharge its honest obligations to public creditors in honest money. ' In its platform of 1872, the Re publican pledged itself to the speedy resumption of- specie payment, by which process the currency of the United States would be brought to par and the credit of the United States fully maintain in the market of the. world. The Democratic party was opposed to sudh a pro gram, tollowing the lead of those wlio believed in a cheap and de based paper niouey which would have destroyed the credit of the United Statesiu that critical period defrauded its creditors and led to a fiuaticial system very like that which prevails in some of the coun tries-of Europe touay whose money is so debased as to . be practically worthless. » Due to the insistence 'of the Re publican party upon sound money financial program, specie. payment was resumed and our national ob ligations were paid in coin. The value of-our paper currency was raised from 38 cents to par, and the credit of the United States gov eminent was raised from the point where six percent bonds sold at 86 to where four per cent bonds were eagerly sought at a premium. Without resorting to loans, the Republican .party, during the period 1870-1S80, t>y its program of public economy, defrayed the or- dniary expenses of the government reduced the public debt by nearly a billion dollars and refunded the remainder of the outstanding Jdebt •it a lower rate of interest. I his Republican program of re construction by sound financing a"d economy in public administfa lion which brought the ' United blaies through the trying period following the Civil’ war is being duplicated by the Republican party Ut the present time.

Mr. Hull will probably repeat that story about the new’ tariff causing an ikcrease of four billiou dollars in prices to the A-’ merican consumer until he begins to bllieve it himself. Of course be has no basis but the exercise of his. own, super-heated imaginatioij ,!for such a statement. What we'. ’do know is that four million men who ' Were put of work when President Hairding was inaugurated, under a Democratic tariff Jaw, ate again employed at good wages under a Republican tariff law. Whatever .increase in prices has resulted in- < suited is due to the fact that the number of consumers has been greatly increased by. improved em ployed -conditions. Increases in prices of articles on the tariff free list have been just as general and as pronounced as of those on the protected list. This, fact renders ridiculous the bunk being handed tp the effect that" the dew tariff h. - increased th(e cost of “ living four billion dollars-or any other amount. —National Republican. - - ' Get Wise— Advertise.

Washington—The Washington gov- prnment has agreed to sell a quantity t war material to the Obregon gov ernment In Mexico. The decision was reached after a uest for such action had been re ceived from tbe obreSon government jij is understood to have been nrompted by a desire to aid that gov- emment, which is faced by an armed Although details of the transaction are still pending before Secretary Weeks, the material involved is said, to include military rifles now stored at p0rt Sam Houston, or other army depots near the border and ten mili tary aeroplanes. It is probable that ammunition for the rifles and other equipment are included. One report was to the effect that the Obregon covernment contemplated an expendi ture of about $750,000 for the mater- ill*AU of the material contemplated for sale is now available at army de pots in the eighth corps area. No or- ders have yet been sent by the war department to make deliveries but it is expected that the rifles will be tak en from surplus stocks of American manufactured Enfields which were turned out in vast quantities during the world war. The war department also has on hand a vast reserve sup ply of ammunition, much of which probably would become useless with deterioration before it could be used Pr the American army. Decision of the Washington admin istration to make the sale came some what as a surprise, inasmuch as Pres- ident Harding on April 23,i last, made a statement of policy for the war and navy departments which opposed the sale of any surplus military equip ment to foreign powers. . Inquiry at the state department produced only the following state ment: "The Mexican government has pre sented a request to this government to sell it a limited quantity of-war material. This government has ex pressed its willingenss to make the sale in view of the relations between this government and the Mexican.gov ernment, which was formally recog nized last September, and of the im portance of the maintenance of sta bility and orderly constitutional pro cedure in the neighboring republic.” Business Good During 1923. Washington.—The American people produced more, spent more and saved more In 1923 than in 1922, the federal reserve board said in its annual re port of economic conditions for the year. As a whole, the review said, the year was characterized by a large in dustrial output, practically full em ployment, a sustained customers’ de mand for goods and a level of prices more stable than in any year since 1915. Tracing the course of business de velopment, the board found that the peak of the output was reached in May. There followed a recession in !industrial activity during the . sum mer months which, the board said, arose more from “a hesitancy of busi ness concerns in placing forward.or ders than from a lessened demand on the part of ultimate consumers.” Giant Gun For American Army. Washington.—The American irrny !■as a gun capable of hurling an ar mor-piercing projectile weighing 1,560 pounds for a distance of 23 miles, the War Department announced.

At least three others are believed to have perished. One of the bodies removed from the ruins of-the building was that of a woman. It was at first thought all of the patientB had been removed. About 600 patients Were in the build ing when the fire started. About 50 of the patients left the hospital grounds during the confusion. Many :of them returned and others were picked up by passing motorists and re turned . to the asylum, which consist ed of seven buildings housing 3,500 patients. The woman, who perished is believ ed to have been an attendant who went into the building to rescue pa tients, as there were no women pa tients in the building. Attendants said possibly a score had perished, but believed the number would be Iess7- The fire is supposed to have been caused by an overheated boiler in ward number three of the frame an nex where the flames first burst through into the rooms where the men patients were at the supper table; Many of those killed are believed to have been suffocated or Were part ly overcome and dropped while the guards were hurrying the others into a drizzling rain to safety The building housed those only mildly insane and included many who were about to be discharged.

Hospital officials, howeyer, said they believed it would be less. AS LOST FRENCH DIRIGIBLE DIXMUDE LAST HEARD FROM OVER WEEK AGO. FjNO M U ’S BODY Wide and Intensive Search to Be Made For Trace of Other 49 Men Aboard Airship. Paris.—The- French superdirigible Dixmude has definitely ..been given up as lost by th.e French ministry of marine. The finding by fishermen six miles off the coast oil southern Sicily of the body of commander of the Dix mude, Lieutenant Lu Plessies de Gre nadan, entangled in the meshes of one of their nets, led the ministry formally to declare that the Dixmude had met with disaster. Complete !mystery surrounds the tragedy. The whereabouts of the giant air craft ana the other 47 mem bers of her crew is not known. BYench naval officers are hurryitfg to south ern Sicily to examine the body of Lieutenant Grenadan, and some hope is expressed that on it will be found documents which will serve to clear up the cause of the disaster. From the village af Sciacca, off which the body of Lieutenant Gren adan was found by the fishermen, the 160 miles across the Mediterranean sea to Tunis in northern Africa will be searched by French warships for traces of the Dixmude, while the patrols which already are combing the norjh African wilds and the re gions far to the south, including the Sahara desert, will continue their work. The Dixmudg was last heard from a week ago when she sent out a ra dio message from a point southwest of Touggourt, Albe-ia, saying she was bound back toward her airdome, near Marseilles, whence she had started December 18 on an 18-hour cruise; to northern Africa and return. The French naval authorities by wireless warned the airship that a gale was blowing across the Mediterranean and it would be unsafe to attempt the..trip home. Sinc'e then all trace of the craft has been lost. The last vestige of hope that the Dixmudp might eventually turn up, which had- persisted among some of the French naval airmen and some of ficials of the’ ministry of marine,! van ished on the receipt of a telegram from the admiral commanding the Algiers base to M. Raiberti, minister of marine, saying no credence could be placed in the story of the aborigine’ sentry at 'In Salah, on the edge of the Sahara desert, that the dirigible had been seen in that vicinity Wednesday.i____-_______ New Tax Bill Made Public.

At first I wasn’t strong enough to go away, and then, after a while, I tried. But I was too lonely and sorrowful. In the spring I loved him. I thought I loved him. He wanted me. I was all alone In the world. I didn't know that he loved another woman. I thought she was dead—like Pierre. Prosper had clothes for her there. I suppose—I’ve thought it out since—that she was to leave as Jf for a short journey, and then secret ly go on that long one, and she couldn’t take many things with her. So he had beautiful stuffs for her— and a little suit to wear In the. snow. That's how I came to call her ‘the tall child,’ seeing that little suit, long and narrow. . . . This letter came one morning, one awfully bright morning. He read i£ and went out and the next day he went away. Afterward I found the letter torn in two beside his desk on the floor. I took it and Fve always kept it. 'The tall child’! He looked so terrible when I called her that. . . . And she pas your Betty all the time!” "Yes,” said Morena slowly. “She wad my Betty all the time.” He gave her a twisted smile and put the two papers carefully into an inside pocket. “I am going- to keep this, letter, Jane. Truly the ways of the Lord are past finding out.” Joan looked at him in grooving un easiness. Her mind, never quick to take in all the bearings and the conse quences of her acts, was beginning/to work. “What are you going to do with It1 Mr. Morena? I don’t want you to do Betty a hurt. She must have loved Prosper Gael. Perhaps she still loves him.” This odd appeal drew another diffi cult. smile from Betty’s husband. “Quite obviously she still loves him, Jane. She ls divorcing me so that she can marry him.” “But, Mr. Morena, I don’t beiieve he will marry' her now. - He Is tired of her; He is that kind of lover. He gets tired. Now he would like to marry me. He told me so. Perhaps—If Betty knew that—she might come back to you, without branding her.” Jasper was startled out of his venge- . ful stillness. • "Prosper Gael wants to marry you? He has told you so?” ■■ “Yes.” She was sad and humbled. “Now he wants to marry me and once >he told me things-about marrying. He -said”—Joan quoted slowly, her eyes ihalf-closed in Prosper’s manner, her voice a musical echo of his thin, vi brant tone—" ‘It’s man’s most studied itasult to woman.” ’ • "Yes, that's Prosper,” murmured Jasper. : “I wouldn’t marry him, Mr. Morena, .even Tf I could—not If I were to be— •burnt for refusing him.” • jasper looked probingly at her, a ,new speculation in his eyes. She bad hegun to fit definitely into his plans. ,It seemed there might be a way to :frustrate Betty and to keep a hold upon his valuable protegee. “Are you so sure of that, Jane?” “Ah I” she answered; “you doubt it because I once thought I loved him? Put you don’t know all about me. . . .” He stood silent, busy with his weav-, lng. At last he looked at her rather blankly, impersonally. Jotn was. con scious of a frightened, lonely chill'. She put out her. hand uncertainly, a wrinkle appearing sharp and deep be tween her eyes. , ., “Mr. Morenal please—I haven’t any one but you. I don’t understand very well what this divorcing rightly means. Nor what they will do to me. Will you be thinking of me a little? I 'Wouldn’t ask ft, for I know you are un happy and bothered enough, but, you see—”’ . ■ He did not motlce the hand. “It will come out right, Jane. Don’t; worry,” he,.said with absent gentle-1 ness. “Keep your mind on your work. I'll IdOk out for your best interests. Be sure of that.” He came near to her, his hat In his hand, ready to go. “Try to' forget all about it, will you?”. “Oh, I can’t do that. I feel sort of— burnt. Betty thinking—that I But I'll do my work just tffe same, of course.” She sighed heavily ,and sat, the un noticed hand clasped in Its fellow. ’ When he had! gone she called, nerv ously for her inaid.” 'She had a hither- ; to unknown dffead of being alone. But when Mathllde,"chosen/by Betty, came wlthTher furtive" step and treacherous eyes, Joan lnventeji some duty for her.. It occurred to lier jjiat Mathllde. might be one ,of Betty’s witnesses. For some time the girl’s watchfulness and In trusions had become irritatingly no ticeable. And Morena was Joan’s only -Tfrequeht and informal visitor. ‘‘Mathllde thinks P am—that I” Joan said to herself,; and afterward,,with a burst of weeping/‘.‘Andi-ofcourse, that is what I am.” Her past sin pressed, upon her and she trembled,^remember ing Pierre’s wistful, seeking facei he should find her now. he wouldlfind her branded, indeed—now he could never believe that she bad indeed been innocent of guilt In the matter of Hol- llwell. Her. father had first put a mark upon her. Since, then the world had only deepened his revenge. There followed a sleepless, dry and aching night CHAPTER IX * The Spider. "Hullo. .Is this Mrs. Morena?" Betty held the receiver languidly. Her face had grown very thin and her eyes were patient. They were staring now absently through the. front win dow of Woodward Kane’s sitting-room at a day of driving April rain. “Yes. This is Mrs. Morena.”, The next speech changed her into a flushed and palpitating girl., “Mr. Gael wishes to know, madam,” —the man-servant recited his lesson, automatically—“if you have seen the exhibition of "Foster’s water-colors, ,Forty-eighth street and Fifth avenue. He wants to know if you will be there this afternoon at five o’clock... No. 88 in the inner room is the picture he would especially like you to notice, madam.” Betty’s hand and voice were trem bling. “No. I haven't seen it.” She hesi tated, looking at the downpour. “Tell, him, please, that I will be there.” - Her voice trailed off doubtfully. The man at the other end clipped out “a “Very well, madam,” and hung up. Betty was puzzled. Why had Pros per. sent her this message, made this appointment by his servant? Perhaps because he was afraid that, in her ex aggerated caution, she might refuse to meet him If she could explain to him the reason for her refusal, or gauge W I Both Prosper and Betty Knew He Was Master of Some Intense Agitation. the importance of his request. With a servant she could do neither, nnd the very uncertainty would force her to accept It was a dreadful day. No body would be out, certainly not at the tea-hour, to look at Foster’s pic tures—an insignificant exhibition. Betty felt triumphant. At last, this far too acquiescent lover had rebelled against her decree of silence and'sepa ration. " , At five o’clock she stepped ■ out of her taxicab, made a run for shelter, and found herself In the empty exhi bition rooms. She checked her wrap and her umbrella, took a catalogue from the little table, chatted for a moment with-the man in charge, then moved about, looking carelessly at the pictures. No. 88 in the inner room! Her heart was beating violently, the hand in li'er muff was cold." She went slowly toward the Inner room and saw at once that, under a small canvas' at Its far end, Prosper stood waiting for her. He waited even after he had-seen her smile and quickening step, and when he did come forward, it was with obvious reluctance. Betty’s-smile faded. His face was haggard and' grim, unlike itself; his'eyes lack-lus- ter as Bbe had-never seen them. This was not the face of an impatient, lover. It was—she would not name it, but she Was conscious of a feeling of angry-sickness. He took her hand and forced a smile. ' “Betty, I thought you disapproved of this kind of thing. I think, myself, it’s ^ rather imprudent to arrange a meetiug through -yodc- maid.", Betty jerked away h er hand, drew a sharp, breath. \ “What do .you mean? arrange this meeting. Jt wasIfJ I didn’t arran id ] you—your urn They became simultaneously* aware of a trap. It had sprung upon them. With the look of trapped things, they stared at each other, and 'Betty in stinctively looked back over her shoul der. There stood Jasper in the door way of the room. He looked like the most casual of visitors to an art gab- Iery, he carried .a catalogue in his band. When he saw that he was seen he smiled easily and came over to them. " • “You will have to forgive me,” he murmured pleasantly; “you see; It was -necessary to see you both together and Betty ls not willing to allow me an interview. I am sorry to have chosen a public place and to have used a trick to get. you here, But I could not think of any other plan. This is really pri vate enough. I have arranged this ex hibition for Foster and it is dosed to the public today. We got in by special permit—a fact you probably missed. And, after all, civilized people ought to be able to talk about anything with out excitement.” Betty’s eyes glared at him. “I will not stay! This is insufferable!” But he put out his hand and some thing in his gesture, compelled her. She sat down on the round, plush seat In the middle of the room and looked up at the two men helplessly. „ Joan had once leaned in a doorway,- silent and. unconsulted, while two men, her father and Pierre, settled their prop erty rights In her. Betty was, after all, in no better case. She listened, whiter and whiter, till at the last she slowly raised her . muff and pressed it against her twisted mouth. Morena stood with his hand resting on the high back of the circular seat almost directly above Betty’s head. It seemed to hold her there like a bar. But It was at Prosper he looked, to Prosper he spoke. “My friend,” he be gan, and the accentuation of the Hebraic quality of his voice had an instantaneous effect upon his two lis teners. Both Prosper and Betty knew he was master of some Intense agita tion. They were conscious of an in creasing rapidity of their pulses. “My friend, I thought that I knew you fair ly well, as one man knows another, but I find that there have been certain limits to my knowledge. How extraor dinary It is! This inner world of our own lives which we keep closely to ourselves! I have a friend, yes, a very good friend, a very dear friend”—the Ironic insistence upon this word gave Prosper, the shock of a repeated blow —“and I fancy, In the ignorance of my conceit, that this, friend’s life Is suffi ciently open to my understanding. I see him Jeave college, I see him gd out on various adventures. I share with him, by letters and confidences, the ex citement of these adventures. I know with regret that h e . suffers from Ul- health.and goes west, and there, with a great deal of sympathy, I imagine him living, drearily enough, In sOihe small, health-giving western town, writing bis book and later his play which he has so generously allowed me to produce.” “What the devil are you after, Jas per?” “But I do my friend an Injustice,” went on the manager, undiverted. “His career is infinitely more romantic. He has built himself a little log house amongst the mountains,. and he has decorated it and laid in a supply of dainty and exquisite stuffs. I believe that there is even an outing suit, small and narrow-^-” “My p—d !” said Prosper, very low. There was a silence. Jasper moved slightly, and Prosper started, but the Jew stayed in his former place, only that he bent his head a little, half- closed his eyes, and marked time with the hand that was not buried In the plush above Betty’s head. He recited in a heavy voice, and it was here that Betty raised her muff! “Jasper is dying. By the time you get this letter he will be dead. If you can forgive me for having failed In courage ,last year, come back. What I have been to you before, I will be to you again, only this time we can love openly. Come back.” “I am going mad!” said Prosper harshly, and indeed his face had a pinched, half-crazy look. The Jew1 waved his hand. “Oh, no, no, no. It is only that ycu are making a discovery. Letters should be burnt, my friend, not torn and thrown away; but burnt.” He stood up to his state liest height, and he made a curious and rather terrible gesture of break ing something between his two hands. “I have tills letter and I hold you and Betty—so !’I he said softly—“so!” Betty spoke. “I might have told you that I loved him,.,that I have loved him for years, Jasper. If you Usejthis evidence, if you bring this counter suit, it will bring about the samel the very same, result. Prosper and II—” She broke off choking. “Of course. Betty and I will be married at once, as soon as she gets her divorce, or you get yours." But Prosper’s voice was 'hollow and strained. “You yill be married, Betty,” went on "jasper as. calmly as-before; “you, branded in the eyes of the world as an unfaithful wife, will be married to a man who has ceased to love you.” “That'is not'true” said Betty. “Look at his face, my dear. Look, ■at it carefully. Now, watch It closely. Prosper Gael, if I should tell that with' a little patience, a'little skill, a little unselfishness, you could win a certain woman who once loved you—eh?—a certain Jane West, could you bring yourself to marry this discarded wife of mine?” ■ Betty sprang up- and caught .Pros per’s arm in .her small hand.

(Prepared by the United States D epartm ent , . ol AsrIcuUure.); Ordinary spring crops can largely be saved from frost damage by postponing planting, until the frost risk becomes small. Information as to average dates of-the last killing frost In any locality may be obtained from any of fice of the weather bureau of the Unit ed States Department of' Agriculture. Early cabbage, radishes, onions, early, peas and potatoes, and turnips may be planted about two weeks" before the average date of last killing frost Beets, carrots, lettuce, spinach, cauli flower, celery and sweet com should be planted about the last frost date. Two weeks after that date, snap beans, okra and tomato plants may be put out, but it is usually better not to plant lima beans, pepper and egg plants, cucumbers, melons and sweet potatoes until the ground is well warmed up, after another two weeks. Frost In South. There -are some years in which kill ing frost does not occur at all in the southern -portion of the Florida penin sula, and also along the west Gulf coast. It doel not often occur after March I in northern Florida; southern Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, and south of' Austin, Tex. The line based on March 15, as, an average for the last killing frost has receded north ward to south-central Georgia, to ..the latitude of Montgomery, Ala., south- central Mississippi, central Louisiana and central Texas. Two weeks later it has advanced to central North Caro lina, north-central Arkansas and cen tral Oklahoma. Average Date'in North.

Much Damage Done, Crops by Disease of Plants. (Frep&red by the United States D epartm ent ... of A griculture.) A serious disease of plants known as root knot and'root gall causes im mense damage in ail except, the most northern parts of this -country, says the United States Department of. Ag riculture, .and attention should be. di rected to the continued spread of this disease in order- that effective meas ures may be adopted' for its control. Boot knot is the cause of serious dam age to many crops. ' The extent of the damage is difficult to estimate, since, it. is both direct and indirect and In many cases Is overlooked entirely. The direct damage is, that caused to the growing crops.. The indirect damage results from the fact that the pres ence of the disease makes it imprac ticable to grow certain crops which are particularly susceptible to injury. The disease Is fully discussed in a new bulletin issued by the United States Department of Agriculture as ^Farmers’ Bulletin 1345. Control meth ods suggested vary under different conditions. Some crops are resistant to the disease and these may be used on infested soil. The disease .may be eliminated In green houses and seed beds by the application of steam un der high pressure or by the introduc tion of uninfested soil into clean whitewashed benches. The home veg etable garden of the South, can very well be brought back into productive ness by a special grain and chicken- garden-rotation.

C. the RaisingDairyHeifers Most Economical Scheme In view of the fact that it is be coming more difficult each year to se cure the right kind of dairy, stock the most economical way for farmers to build up a good herd is to raise the heifers, from the best cows, being care ful to have the calves ,sired by a'pure bred dairy bull, according to the Ken tucky College of Agriculture. The problem of feeding may be considered from two standpoints; first, when whole milk'is'sold from the farm and Siim milk is therefore not available; and second, when cream is sold and skim milk is available for feeding to the young animals. Three 'plans may be followed by the farmer-who has a market for whole milk. The first Is to give the calves a good start on whole milk and at the end of two months put them on a hay and grain ration. The second plan is to give; the calves whole milk for two weeks and then change to a ration of calf gruel or-milk substitute;.the third is to giv^the calves the least amount of milk required to promote normal growth.

If the weather turns cold and the house is drafty, the hen wUl need-more food for main tenance, and will draw on what would otherwise have been iised for the egg supply. Records from the sixth egg-laying contest at Mountain. Grove, Mo., fur nished the following data as to the amount of food' required by hens for maintenance and for egg production: “The Indications are that the hen uses three-fourths- of the feed to sup ply her body and one-fourth to make eggs; and from each one-fourth of feed above maintenance, she makes two eggs which weigh one-fourth of a pound, thus producing a pound of‘eggs for each pound of feed above main tenance. Data showed that the aver age hen weighed five pounds, con sumed 75 pounds of feed and laid 150 eggs. “The hens had feed before them at all times, and as the average ben con sumed V o7-pounds of feed, which is 1,200 ounces, it will be seen that the hen’s digestive capacity is 100 ounces per month and that ~ she averaged 74 ounces for her body and from the other 25 ounces she made 12% eggs, that weighed 25 ounces. “Although we believe the hen’s dl-, gestive capacity Is about the same at all times, yet she does not produce the same number of eggs each month, which is accounted for by the propor tion of feed required for her body at different times. If the weather is ; pleasant and other conditions right, the hen may use only 50 ounces of feed for her body at different times and make 25 eggs from the other 50 . ounces of feed, but if the weather turns cold and her house js not what it should.be, so that 90 ounces of feed are required for her body, she can only make five eggs from the other ten ounces, and if the weather changes suddenly so that 110 ounces of feed , are needed to support her body, she I can and does arrest the eggs which I are partly developed, turns the egg i material back into her own system !and uses it as food, which explains : why hens stop laying-on. short notice I following a ' sudden change in the weather.” END THAI COUGH KOW OR IT MAY END YOU You Can’t Afford to Ignore Such Symptoms While Cheney’s Is ReadytoHeIpYou .

FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE Winter Water Supply Is ' Important for Poultry The modem hen eats a balanced dry mash for egg production, but it takes water to wash down1 that mash. So it’ pays to keep a galvanize^ pail of fresh water near the mash hopper. If the pail is placed in a small wooden store box just a little wider than the diam eter \of the pail, It will not be tipped over when, the hens jump up on the side. If iron pails are used for winter drinking fountains you have a recep tacle that is easy %o scour and clean. A little boiling water and a few com cobs will soon scrub the scum from the drinking pails and make the water more healthful and appetizing. Hens relish, clean water and drink more of It when the fresh supply arrives. The use of clean pails rs a great help In keeping down the spread of respiratory diseases. , Farm Hints Keep the pigs free from lice..* * * Do not pasture clay lands while wet.

Remove Down From Goose by Using Powdered Rosin Perhaps you know of several good ways to skin a rabbit, but do you know of one good way to “down” a goose? If you have had some experi ence In preparing one of these birds for the table w the market and are Still not In a dass with the experts, doubtless jou 'fcaTe had considerable trouble In removing the down from the skin after the feathers have been removed. Nearly everybody has the same trouble. However, the problenJ of removing this persistent down can be solved with ease If you have a little powdered rosin on hand. SprinkJe. the picked goose lightly and evenly with the fine rosin and then dip the bird in hot wa ter. The heat melts the rosin which merges with the down.. When the temperature has gone down it is an easy matter to mb off the rosin and the down together. This method does Si clean job and the rosin has no .effect on the flavor of the goose. i ■—"" Question of Feeding in Winter to Produce Eggs There is no reason why the fellow who' keeps chickens should ' expect them to hibernate for the winter. Many farm Socks produce reasonably well during spring' and' summer when they have the freedom that nature af fords. Handled properly, these flocks could be made to yield a profit all through the year. A flock properly culled, comfortably honsed and ade quately fed will lay through the win ter as well as summer. The question of feeding hens dur ing winter In order to get eggs be comes quite largely a matter , of sen sible feeding. It is the surplus feed, that not needed to fieep up the bodily functions, which is used in egg pro duction. E.

Oil Waste Found Enormous One-Third to One-Half of Produc tion Lost, According to Gov ernment Survey. Washington.—Losses of natural gas and oil through flooding, seepage, waste and negiigedce in the various fields In the United States have been enormous, according to statements of the Interior department, based upon a recent survey by the bureau of mines. While the oil and gas industry has progressed steadily and has been prac tically revolutionized during the 64 years of its existence, losses have run into untold millions of feet of gas and gallons of fuei oil. Flooding of oil sands by water have irreparably dam aged entire oil and gas fields, the wa ter trapping underground oil Uiat prob ably never will be recovered. Water In an oil well so Increases lifting costs that many wells are abandoned before the normal recovery of oil and gas is obtained. Corrosive waters attack casing and eventually eat holes In It. Operators In the Kansas El Dorado field alone expend thousands of dollars annually replacing casing, tubing, sucker rods and other equipment so destroyed. Muzzling of the Flow. Although "blowouts” and "wild wells” were formerly the greatest fac tors In the loss, modern equipment has made It easier to muzzle the unchecked flow's. The old practice of allowing "gushers” to waste oil and gas un checked until the force either was stopped by cave-ins or decreased an ap preciable amount, has been done away with, but not before millions of dollars’ worth of Uie natural resources were lost.

Large flowing wells which produced from 1,000,000 to ilO,- 000,000 cubic feet of gas dally were al lowed to flow, the operators only gath ering the oil. Until recently no use was made of gas produced In the Salt Creek field of Wyoming and the dally loss was estimated at 42,500,000 cubic feet. What Bureau’s Study Showed. Bi 1912 the total amount of gas' con sumed throughout the country was 662.052.000.000 cubic feet, while the loss of casing head gas alone was esti mated at 141,000,000,000 feet In that year. It seems probable that from one-third to'one-half of all the gas pro duced is wasted, the bureau's study showed. C' Production of gasoline from natural gas was started In 1904 and, while the amount recovered has increased by leaps and bounds yearly, It was esti mated that since that year at least 2,- 500.000.000 gallons of gasoline have been wasted, or twice the amount re covered. More than 25,000,000 gallons of gasoline must have been lost In the Hewitt field, In Oklahoma, alone, dur ing this time. From 20,000,000 to 40.- 000,000 gallons were lost in the El Dorado field.

Washington.—Army experts believe they have discovered the sqjret of ani mal longevity. Old horses and mules In “active service” today have an average age of fourteen years, while in the nominal civil activities eleven-year-old animals are regarded as beyond the age of use fulness. The “oldsters” of the army herds, whether In the cavalry, artil lery or transport service, are still “go ing strong.” In one case a twenty- flve-year-old charger is still winning blue ribbons for performances. In his class, • The secret, the. experts believe, lies In regularity of diet, exercise,, rest, -grooming and all the other cares with which the army, surrounds Its animals In time of peace. They estimate that a five-year average Increase In the usefuVlife period of horses and mules In the service has alrea'dy been proved, figuring that the fourteen-year-olds of today ,will still be fit for active service two years from now. The total number of animals In ac tive army service is 44,423, and the average' age for all of these is fourteen years.' Of the 26,254 horses, 80 per cent are more than eleven years of age, 'and of the 18,169 mules 64 per cent have passed the eleven-year mark.

At a recent editorial convention he offered the following toast: “To save an editor from starvation, take his paper and pay for it promptly. To save him from bankruptcy, advertise in his paper liberally. To save him from des pair, send him every item of news of wnicli you can get hold. To save him from profanity, write your correspondence plainly on one side of the sheet and send it in as early' as possible.

Tariff Revision. . A constant revision of the tariff iy the Congress is disturbing and a-tmful The present law contains n elastic provision authorizing th< !’resident to increase or decreasi •resent schedules not in excess of 50 oer centum to meet the difference n cost of production at home and a road. This‘does not. to my mind varrant a rewriting of the whole law, but dues'mean, and will be so administered; that whenever the re juired investigation shows that in qualities exist in anv schedule the lower to change them should and will be applied, sirop Price Fixing No complicated scheme of relief, •10 pian for Government fixing of irices. no resort to the public Trea sury will be of anv permanent value in estal iishing agriculture.

We shall persevere in well-doing, not by force, but by- reason ” Tbe Deinocratic Party’s Ligbtning Calculator. According to the “expert statis tician” of the Democratic national committee, the !‘tariff tax” on Sauta Claus this year was about one billion dollars. The “expert” figures that Christmas sales in the United States this year were six uillion dollars and that the tariff “tix ” averaged 15 percent Hence the tax of one billion dollars, in and a little less round in figures. The “expert” is proceeding on the assumption, first that his fanci ful estimates are correct, second that all of the tariff collected is a tax on the consumer and third that every protected article pays tariff whether it is imported or not. Do mestic competition, the law of supply and demand, the buying power of the public, the general prosperity have 110 effect 011 prices and margins of profit, so far as his fertile brain can conceive. So many billions are sold, the general tariff average is so much, hence the grand total can be ar rived at by multiplying two by two and obtaining four, or better yet, five, if you can get away with it. Decroratiuns for Christmas trees are taxed 70. per cent, he says. Yet even the children 'kuow they could be obtained at the five and ten cent counters as usual, this year. They !were not any cheaper even in lean DemocVatic years when we didn't even have the five and ten.cent to buy with.

And Education! The state director of education Ohio has requested school sup- eriiitendedts throughout that state to use newspapers in teaching. He recommends that students read newspapers for general knowledge and education. Tne most ignorant and uninformed people in the coun try are those who never read tlie newspapers and thus are not coij- 'ersant with current events. It Ais 1 practice with some people to slur at newspapers and decry the record’ ot events therein contained. There is as little of errors in the average ieWspaper of today as there is . Sn books that circulate, speeches and addre?ses delivered and sermons preached. American newspapers are the greatest educational force extant. It is fortunate that Iead- college men are coming to recognize the modern newspaper as a vital factor in twentieth century educa tion.—Summer Countv News. Coolidge Stays at Home in Eveuing Calvin Coolidge, who liasa pretty good job at the white House seems to find it hard to make himselves believe he is not up on his little farm in New England. He hasn’t been to a theater or to a “movie” since he became Presi- denst. Farm boys don’t “go to town” very often. Hte hasn’t gone out a single evening, except once, when he at tended a private dinner party. Whoever saw .a farm boy who didn’t like to sit in the kitchen and talk after the day’s work was done? Oue Sunday .afternoon-—and -on- Iy one—he went for an automobile ride, but soon got tired and hurried home. Bcrry picking would have been more to his liking, at least that’s one way a farm boy spends his leasure months. Only a tew times he has boarded the presidents yacht and taken short rides down the river. Usually , he appeared glad to get back: to lahd. There was ho such thing as a yacht where Calvin grew to.be a sturdy man Mr. Coolidge always retires at to o’clock, after the evening of read ing at home. He arises at 6 in tlie morning and takes a brisk walk through the city streets “ Early'.tq bed.and early to rise,” was Iytl slogan up on the farm. ’>■' Wnen it comes.down to business however, Mr. Coolid je has a sche dule that is system itself. HeAfi rives at his office at 10 o’clock iii the morning and works until noon.- After lunch, he retires until 3 o’clock when he returns to his office and completes his day’s work Thett he goes home for dinner. Scorching Times Ahead. We are being urged to “eat uipre toast if we would bring relief to the farmer!” The farmer and the peo ple are not to be "fooled” by atiy siich tommyrot as this. The fellows who are so urgently advising this device for relief-bringing to the farmer are haunted • with the fears of what the farmers intend to do to them when the next opportunity comes around.

The first thing a stranger wants to know when he comes to a town is the tax rate and the rental costs. We must have inducements to offer the stranger or he will not tarry long. ________. It’s a long time until the next election but a number of the breth ren in the county have about made up their minds to sacrifice them selves and take an office —if they can get one. Mocksville needs a number a new enterprises but what she needs worse than anything else just now is a modem, up-to-date hotel. . We trust that some steps will be taken "'this spring to secure such a hotel. We don't know what our loafets will do next summer since all the shade trees have been taken off the square and only a few old stumps left. The places that once knew these gentlemen of leisure will know them no more forever. The square is to -be beautified and a monument to the soldier boys who gave their lives in the Confederate and World wars is to be erected by the P. 0. S. of A. . Byr this time next year the oldest inhabitants will hardly be able to recognize the town. The Davie county agricultural fair is not dead, but only sleeping until the robins nest again. We believe county agent Evans, with the help of the business men aud farmers Will be able to put this big enterprise over in good shape. It wo Id mean much to tnis entire section. •__________ Enquiries are coming to the Chamber of Commerce in regard to Mocksville and Davie county. There it no doubt but that our town and county is coming to the front. New people are moving in to our county from various sections. We have plenty of room for more good people. We would urge every good.man in Davie county who is not now taking The Record to start the New Year right by sending in their subscription. We are going “to make The Record worth more than the price we charge for it. Every men and woman who wants a big ger, and better town, couuty, state and nation, is given an invitation to send in their subscription. There was ginned in Davie coun ty, the past season nearly two mil lion pounds of lint cotton, one' of Ihe largest, if not'the largest crops ever ginned in this county. Count ing an average price of' 30 cents per pound for this cotton, it means that the farmers secured *or their cotton alone the enormous sum of more than a half million dollars. Nearly all of this cotton was grown in Davie county, which is one of the smallest counties in North Caro lina. Davie county grows nearly two million pounds of tobacco, and the total amount of money received for the cotton and tobacco crop a lone is in the neighborhood of a million dollars. Our farmers grow many marketable.crops in addition to these two staples, Davie being one of the best wheat and corn growing counties in the state. The cattle business is also coming to the front in Davie, the county having a number of fine cattle and dairy farms among them being Sanford & Cartner, FeezorDairyFarm, San ford & Rich, 0. R. Allen, the Coo- leemee Cattle Farm, M.. D. Pass, Reynolds-Lybrook and others. The .-tranger would make no mistake by lockting in Davie, the best coun ty in Norih Carolina. Engineer Percy Bloxom deser ves much credit for the good work he did in having all the old elms on the square pulled* down and con verted into Sftwood.

(Prepared by the United States D epartm ent of Agriculture.) The year’s work \ of the bureau of plant Industry described In the report recently made to the.secretary of agri culture shows much progress In solv ing ftie problems .of plant production, the control of diseases, the breeding of improved varieties, the introduction of promising seeds and plants from for eign countries and the development of methods for the utilization of perish able crops, such as fruits and vegeta bles. Much of the work done is of the kind which brings its greatest returns after there has been time for the com mercial development of discoveries. In combating plant diseases a great deal of progress has been made through obtaining highly resistant or immune strains by trial and selection. In this way strains of wheat have been secured which proiplse to be valuable In sections where bunt has damaged this crop'.' Varieties resistant to dag smut are being developed, and this dis ease is no IongtAv considered the men ace if was thought to be a few years ago. Attempts are being made to grow strains resistant to both flag smut and rosette. In the study of scab, a disease Which damages .both wheat and corn, it has’ been discovered that wheat seedlings nre more resistant when grown at comparatively low soil temperatures and that corn seedlings are more resistant to it when the soil is warm. Barberry eradication was carried on extensively In co-operation with a number of states for the control of black stem rust, and up to the pres ent time nearly 6,000,000 bushes Iiuve been eradicated. Chemicals are being used successfully to destroy the buslies in places'where digging is not practi cable. New Crops Developed. New varieties of oats have been se1 cured in co-operation with state ex periment stations and a number of them, are being distributed. Tlie root and stalk rots of corn have been found to require special soil management for their control; in some cases proper fertilization and amendments are all that is required, w hile to control the parasitic types- Crbpt rotation is needed In addition. Some new forage crops are Iieing developed and improved va rieties of common crops have been dereloped and’ new method's are being •tried for handling'them. New and rare field seeds are- being brought into the cons try, tried' out,, fneneosed and dis tributed to growers,. Lack of space- in- ai brief artide puts a limit on the details- which- can fie given on the various- lines of work car ried on with tlie- many important crops. Valuable results have- been- obtained in the treatment of' “tobacco- sick” soils and means have been found for the prevention of a- condition known as ‘sand drown” by the- use o f magnesia. Various phases- o f cotton production have received attention; including cul tural methods and' special1 varieties to help In the control of tlie bolt weevil, trials of cotton , classing, in- the field and breeding to maintain the purity of Egyiitian cotton- grown in the South west. « , Extensive work has been- done wfth frtiits and nuts! studies- have been made of the- possibilities-' of growing binder twine- fiber in, Porto Rico, the Virgin islands and the Philippines. The improvement of citrus fruits is now being greatly increased through the use of bud selection from trees with performance records, a method developed by the department, and means have been found for the control of stem-ehd 'rot of citrus fruits. Through wortc being carried on in the Southwest the infant date industry I^ being greatly stimulated, and ,,there is a new interest in the production of The fruit and nut industries are being helped not only through the in troduction and development of better varieties and methods of-growing, but also through studies of handling and shipping the products. It was shown that berries produced In the Northwest can be shipped greater distances suc cessfully If handled more carefully and precooled.' 'A series of tests' have shown that nuts of various kinds can be kept from two to three years if held at a temperature as low as 32 degrees. Plant Diseases Combated. Tlie principal vegetables reported on were potatoes, sweet potatoes and peas. Improvements have been ob tained through-the selection of'seed stocks, the developments of Improved varieties and In the control of diseases. In the’field of forest trees work has been carried on with white pine blister rust, which is now spreading In the Northwest, and In the East with chest nut blight. The Chinese chestnut has been found quite resistant to thfe dis ease. In addition to these two impor tant trees which are menaced, it is re ported that another valuable tree, the Douglns-fir, is In danger of canker, which occurs on these trees in Scotland and Which already may be Iu this country. • ,. V • ( Among the many other problems given attention In the “report are wood Conservation, the,- effects of length of ■day on*plant responses, soil-,bacteriol ogy, the prevention of alkali injury on Irrigated lands,-sources of crude rub ber, explorations in many parts of the world for- new plants" and seeds. Among the-promising new fruits given special mention are-iBarounl olives', Euyu persimmons- and several new avocados. Another new plant is Men-'' thg Qit'rata, of the lnint family. Cloth Coverings Good Against Mild Frosts Heat Generated During Day Is Conducted to SuivIace. (Prepared by the United States D epartm ent of Agriculture.) Coverings of rather heavy cloth laid directly over garden truck or other low-growing plants are effective in pro tecting against moderate frosts, the United StatesJDepartment of Agricul ture reports. The heat from the ground and the plants is thus conserved, and the Josses of heat :by‘ radiation from the p!ant,to the sky are cut off; more over, the air movement is so slight near the. ground that there is little tendency for the' cold outside air to be .jreed under or through the covering. The- temperature of .the surface of the cloth exposed to the sky is lowered Hy radiation and may fall to a low point, but as both the cloth itself and the air underneath it are very poor conductors of heat, the temperature of the covered plants falls mwch more slowly. The heat that has penetrated a few inches into the ground! during the day is slowly conducted Ho the surface duriug the night and aids in keeping the temperature finder the cover above the freezing point.' • It is evident, therefore, that cover ings of this kind should be placed early in tiie evening when a frost ft expected, before much of the heat ac5 cumulated In the soli during .the day has been lost. Tin cans or other metal' coverings should not be used to protect plants from frost; Metals are good conductors of heat and are also good radiators unless very highly polished. Therefore- the temperature is likely to. fall nearly as low ttnder a covering of this- kind aw Ere the outside air.

You must have known that I would break you utterly. I will break you, my dear, and I will have you back, and will be your master Instead of your servant, and I will love you—” "You must be mad. I’m afraid of you. Please let me go.” “In a moment, whenj^qwm, have learned what home you have to go to. This morning I had an interview with your brother In Ills office,, and he wrote this letter that I hav/ In Dfy pocket and nsked me to give It to you." Betty laid dow nier muff, showing at last the pale and twisted mouth. Jasper watched her read her brother’s, letter, and his eyes were as patient and observant as the eyes of a skillful doctor who lias given a dangerous but necessary llraught. Betty read the small, sharp, care ful writing, very familiar to her. "I have instructed your maid to pack your things and to return at once to your husband’s "house. He is a much too merciful man. You have treated him shamelessly. I can find no excuse for you. My house is defi nitely closed to you. I will send you no money, allow you no support, Coun tenance yon In no way. This is final. You have only one course, to return humbly ‘and with penitence to your husband, submit yourseif to him, and learn to love and honor and obey him as lie deserves. The evidence of your guilt Is incontrovertible. I. Utterly dis believe your story against him. It is part of your sin, and it is easily to be explained In the light of my present knowledge of your real character. Whether you return to Morena or not, I emphatically reassert that I will not see you or speak to you again. You are to my mind a woman of shameless life, such a woman as I should feel justified In turning out of any decent household. ' ( “WOODWARD &4NE.” The room turned giddily about Betty, she saw the whole roaring city turn about her, and. she knew that there was no home In It for her. She could go to Prosper Gael, but at what horrible sacrifice of pride, and, it J^s- per now refused to bring suit, could she ask this man, who no longer loved her, to keep her as his mistress? What rould she do? Where could she turn? How could she keep herself alive? For the first time, life, stripped of, everything but its hard and ugly “ones, faced her. she. had always oeen sheltered, been dependent, been c-ved. Once before she bad lost cour- Itf6 /ln^ *lml taileJ to venture beyond e familiar shelter of custom and con- V4ntion- ffOw1 she was again most orribly afraid. Anything was. better •an tills feeling of "being lost, alone.' He looked at Jasper1At that moment e was nothing but a protector, a aeans °f hfe, and he knew It will you come home with me now?” e asked her bitterly. . Betty forced the twisted mouth to peeeli. “What else is there for me, to ljO she said. Katharine Newlin Burt Copyright by Katharine N. Burt money, donations wanted for a build ing, church or hospital or library. Jas per in imagination wrote out a gen-, erous check. Before going down he glanced .at the card again and noticed some lines across the back: "This is to introduce one of my best friendSr- Pierre Landis, of Wyoming. Please be of service to him. His mis sion has and deserves to have my full sympathy.” . So, after all, It wasn’t HoIllwell be low and the checkbook would not be needed, “Pierre Landis of Wyoming.” Jasper went down the stairs and on the way he remembered a letter re* celved from Yamall a long time be fore. He remembered^ it with an ac cession of- alarm. 1 'Tve probably let h—I loose for your protegee, Jane; given your address, and incidentally hers, to a fellow who wants her pretty badly. His name’s Pierre Landis. You’re a pretty good judge of white men. Size him up and do what's best for Jane.” Por some time after receiving, this letter, Jasper had expected the ap pearance of this Pierre Landis, then had forgotten him. The fellow who wanted Jane so badly had been a long while on his way to her. Remember ing and wondering, the manager opened the> crimson curtains and stepped Into the presence of Pierre. Even if he had? had no foreknowl edge, Jasper felt that, at sight of his visitor, his fancy would have jumped to Joan. It was the eyes; he had seen CHAPTER X The Clean Wild Thing. Thc Reverend 'Francis Holllwell.’1 ' orena turned the card over and over ,n Ids hand. “Holllwell. HollIwelI, “tank Holllwell.” Yes.

Here was one of Joan’s, kindred, one of the clean, wild things. , Then came thegentle western drawl. “I’m right sorry to trouble you, Mr. Slorena.” Jasper, took a brown hand that had the feet of iron. The man’s'face, on^a level'with Jasper’s, was very brown and lean. It had a worn look, a trifle desperate, perhaps, In the lines of lip and the expression of; the smoke-col ored eyes. Jasper, sensitive to under currents, became aware that he stood In some fashion for- a forlorn hope in the life of this Pierre. At the same time, the manager remembered a con fidence of Jane’s. She had been ^afraid of some one.” She bad been running away. There was one' that mustn’t find her, and to run away from him, that was the business of her life. Pierre Landis was this “one,” the something wild and clean that Jiad at last come searching even into this city.. It was necessary that Jane’s present protector should be very care ful. There must be no running away this time, and Pierre must be warned off. Jasper had. plans Of1Jiis own for his star player. For one thing.she must draw Prosper Gael" completely out of Betty's life. Jasper mpde his guest comfortable, sat opposite him, and lighted a- cig arette. Although ,Pierre had accepted one, be did not smoke. He was far too disturbed. - “■ -“Frank HoIIiweII gave me a note to you, Mr. Morena. I got your address some years ago froin Yarnall, of Lazy-Y ranch, Middle Fork, Wyoming. I’ve been gettln’ my affairs into shape ever since, so that I could come east. I don't rightly know- whether Yarnall would have wrote -to you concernin’ me or no.” . . . . “Yes,. He did write—just a line— two years ago.” PIerrd;. studied his own long, brown hands, turning the soft hat between thenir When he lifted his eyes,''they were intensely blue. It was as though blue Arev had consumed the smoke. •Tve been takln’ after a girl. She was called; Jane on YarnalTs ranch ah’ she was cook there for the outfit. No body knowed Eer story nor her name. She' left the mornin' I eame In an’ I, didn't set eyes on her. You were tafcin’. her east to teach her. to play-act for you. I don't know whether you done so or not, but Tvfe come here to learn where she is so that I can find out if she’s the woman I'm -IoJdtIn' for.” ' - • Morena smiled kindly. “You’ve come a long way, Mr. Landis, on an uncer- ■ tainty.” . " . ‘‘Yes. sir.” Pierre did not smile. He was holding himself steady. “But I’m 1 used to uncertainty. There ain’t no uncertainty, that can keep me from seekin’ after the person I want.” He paused, the eyes still fixed upon Mo rena, who, uncomfortable under them, veiled himself thinly in cigarette smoke. “I want to see this Jane,” Pierre ended gently. 1 '-“Nothing easier, Landis. ‘I’ll give you a ticket to ‘The Leopardess.’ She is acting the title part. She Is my leading lady and a very extraordinary young actress. Of course, it’s none of my business, but In a way I am Miss West’s guardian—” “Miss West?” “Yes. That is Jane’s Uamd1-Jane West. You think it is an- assumed one?” ;Pierre stood up. “I’m not thlnkln’ on this trip,” he said; “I’m hopln’.” “I am sorry, but I am afraid you’r«) on, the wrong track. There may be a resemblance, there may even be a marked resemblance,. between Mlss West and the person you want to find, but—again please forgive me—I am In the place of guardian to her at pres ent and I should like to .know some thing of your business, enough of It, that is, to be sure that your sudden appearance, if you happen to be right In your surmise, won’t frighten my leading lady out of her wits and-send her off to Kalamazoo on the next train,” Pierre evidently resented the fash ion of this speech. "I’m sorry,” he .said with dignity, “not to be able to tell you anything. I’ll be careful not to frighten Miss West. I- can see her first from a distance an’ then—’’ “Certainly. Certainly." Jasper rang and directed his man to get an envelope from an upstairs table. When it came, he handed it to Pierre. “That is a ticket- for tomorrow night’s performance. It’s the best seat I can give you, though it is. not very near the stage. However, you will cer tainly be able to recognize your—Jane, if she is your Jane.” Pierre pocketed the ticket. “Thank you,” he murmured.’ His face was ex pressionless. - ” Jasper was making rapid plans. “Oh, by the.way,” he said" hurriedly, “if you should stand near the stage exit to night, say at about twelve o’clock, you could see MisS West come out and get into her motor. That would give you a fairly close view. But even if you find you are mistaken, Landis, be Surel to see ‘The Leopardess.’ It’s well worth your while. You’re going? Won’t you dine with me tonight?” “No, thank you. I wouldn’t be earin’ to tonight. I—I reckon I’ve got this matter too much .on my mind. Thank you very much,-Mr. Morena.” ,- “Before you go, tell me about Hol- liwell. He was a good friend of mine.” “He was a good friend to most every one he knowed. .He was more, than that to me.” - “Then he’s been a success out there?” \ Pierre meditated over the words. “Success? Why, yes, I reckon he’s been all of that.” . “A difficult mission, isn’t it? . Try ing to bring you fellows to God?” Pierre smiled. “I reckon we get closer to God out there than you^do here. We sure get the fear, of Him even if we don’t get nothin’ else. When you fight winter an’ all outdoors an’ come near to death with hosses an’ what-not, why, I guess you’re gettin’ close to somethin’ not quite to be ex plained. Holllwell, he’s a first-class sinfbuster, -best I ever knowed.” Morena laughed. He was beginning to enjoy his visitor. “Sin-buster?” “That’4 one name fer a parson. Well, sir, I guess HoilIwell is. plumb close to bein’ a prize devil-twister.” “Tell me how you first met him. It ought to be a good story." But th e . young man’s face grew bleak at this. “It ain’t a good' story, sir,” he said grimly. “It ain’t any thing like that. I must wish you goodby, an’ thank you kindly.” “But you’ll let me see you again? Where are you .stopping?. Holliwell’s friends ar.e mine.” Pierre gave him the address of a small,1 downtown hotel, thanked, him again, and, standing in the ball, added, “If I’m wrong In the notion that brought me to New York, I’ll be goin’ back again _to my ranch, Mr. Morena. I’m' goin’ back to ranchin’ on the old homestead. Pve got it fixed up:” He seemed to look through Jasper into an enormous distance. Morena .was al most uncannily aware of the long, long journey by which this man’s spirit' had trodden, of the desert he faced ahead of him if the search must fail. Was it wrong' to warn Jane? Ought this, man to be,given his chance? Surely here stood- before him Jane's, mate. Jasper wished that he knew more of the history back of Pierre and the girk A man could do little but look but for his own interests, when he worked In the dark. Which would be the better man ’’for Jane?—this Jane so trained, so educated, so far removed super ficially from the ungrammatical,- bronzed, clumsily- dresse'd, graceful visitor. ‘ In every worldly . respect, doubtless.

METZER iS RESCUED JAMES METZER AND HIS EIGHT GRANDCHILDREN PERISH IN FLAMES. High Wind Accompanying Cold Wave Believed to Have Been Indirect Cause of Fire. Oil City, Pa.—Nine persons were killed in a fire that destroyed a farm house at Tylersburg, near Shippen- ville, Clarion county. The victims were James Metzer and his eight grandchildren, seven of them being children of Claude Emminger at whose home the tragic lire occurred. The other T ic tim was Michael \Mc- Manigleo, 14, who was visiting at . the Emminger home. The lire -was discovered by Mrs. Emmtager, who had been ill. She was awakened by the fumes of smoke and groped her way to the stairway, summoning her husband. Emminger succeeded in. rescuing Mrs. Metzer from the second floor and attempted, several times to re turn for the children and their grand father, but each time was driven back by the flames and smoke. He was badly burned about the lace and hands.: . Joseph G. MacMillan; of Shippen- ville, coroner, conducted an investi gation and decided that an inquest was unnecessary. The high wind accompanying the cold wave was believed to have been the indirect cause of the fire. The Emminger family had been using gas' from their own well until recently when they began to"' burn coal. A soot fire in a defective flue was be lieved to have been fanned to such a heat that it set fire to the house. The ruins were searched after the fire had burned itself out and the charred bones of the nine victims were placed in a small box and taken to the Tylersburg Methodist church where funeral services were held.

Washington.—Sale of 5,000 Enfield rifles with 5,000,000 rounds of ammu nition for the guns, and eight DH-4 surplus airplanes to the Mexican gov ernment was announced by Secretary Weeks. The transaction was completed dur ing the day when word came by wire to Mexican agents that the govern ment had transferred funds necessary t'o make one-half of the payment in cash, the balance to be paid within 36 days.' The terms fixed by Secre tary Weeks were equivalent to a cash transaction and were accepted by the Mexican government, paving the way for immediate delivery of the war munitions at the army depot where they are stored. Under the terms of the sale the war department will turn over the rifles and ammunition at Fort Sam Houston and Fort Bliss while the airplanes will be delivered from the deport at Fairfield, Ohio. The Mex ican government will make its own arrangements for shipment to the •border. Orders were issued at once for delivery of the military supplies to designated Mexican agents. Although the statement issued by Secretary Weeks did not disclose the total amount of money involved in the sale, on the basis of prevailing prices it would appear to be less than $400,000, as Enfield ' rifles sell at about $35 each and. surplus ammu nition at about $18 per thousand rounds while the airplanes would be valued at fibout $12,000 each. While there were no developments in connection with opposition in Con gress to the sale of arms to Mexico, an authorized statement of the admin istration attitude became available at the white house which made it plain that the purpose of the Wash ington government in the present transaction was wholly one of aiding a neighbor state in the maintainance of order and governmental stability within its own borders.

Reduced Amount Public Debt. Washington.—The treasury accom plished a net reduction of almost $400,000,000 in the public debt in 1923, according to official figures made pub lic. Oustanding/obligations of the na tion totalled $21,589,160,346 when the books were closed. -Treasury officials expressed satis faction that the mass of obligations, the bulk of which were incurred dur ing the. World War, now were in "manageable shape” and said the re funding operations of the last two years had left the treasury in a posi tion to care for all maturities of the future without impairment of the pro gram for . gradual retirement • of the debt. Success' of the retirement pro gram, however, they added, depended upon the continuation of the policy of economy. Government to Abandon Caswell. Wilmington.—That it is the inten tion .of the government to completely abandon Fort Caswell, at the mouth of the Cape FeaB river, is borne out by the fact that within the past few days there has been shipped from the coast defense two barge loads of guns and projectiles which were transport ed to Charleston, S. C. Although it cannot be positively learned, it is un derstood the ordnance material now being shipped from Fort Caswell is destined for Fort Bragg, at Fayette ville. May Buy Ships From Shipping Board. Washington. — President Coolidge has requested. Director Eord of the budget bureau to confer with ship ping board and navay department of ficials with a view to.purchase of ves sels under control of those two agen cies for use In combatting rum smug glers, oft the American coast. Such-purchase of ships for use by the coast guard, if possibly- would, in the opinion of the President, be.mor~ economical than the building of new boats. at a cost of from 10 to 15. mil lion dollars such as was recommended recently in the executive’s budget mes sage to Congress. The purchase also would make the vessels available more quickly than they would be' if they had to be constructed. , ALL ABOARD LOSE LIVES WHEN STEAMER SINKS. Constantinople. — Confirmation was received of the sinking of the United States shipping board ssteamer Conejos in the Black sea. AU. aboard were lost-The Conejos, a freighter, bound from Batum for New York, went down in the Black sea Thursday. The last wireless message received from the vessel, picked up by the British steamer ,Molesley, said: ‘ “Sinking fast. Hold No. I full of water. Have received no re sponse to calls for help.1’ . In addition to her captain, the Conejos carried six officers and about 30 seamen. American ves sels, which hastened to her assist ance when her first cry for help was flashed by wireless, report they found no trace of the steamer or of lifeboats. It is assumed, therefore, that if the officers and crew took to the small boats they later, were lost in the terrific sea running at the time. 5 KILLED AND 10 I SEABOARD WORK TRAIN AND EXTRA CRASH AT SWITCH ‘ NEAR HOSKINS.

RESCUE AT HRE ADDS TO DEATH TOLL Half of the 250 JWorkers In Corn Pro ducts Plant ‘ Killed or Mang led. • Peoria, Ills.—Between 25 and 35 persons are believed to have been kUled and more than a hundred oth ers injured in a terrific dust explo sion at the starch plant of the Com Products. Company at Pekin, IUs. Fire broke o u t after the. explosion Rescuers could see ’the bodies of ap proximately between 25 and -35 vie-, tims lying in . the ruins, b u t, the- flames prevented attempts to reach the bodies; . / It was estimated it would be sev eral hours before the. ruins could be penetrated, and the bodies removed. Eighty injured, many of them badly mangled, had been, removed from the wreckage and taken to hospitals- in Pekin and Peoria., Two hundred and fifty men were working in the plant at the time of the explosion. . . The Cqrn Products plant was the principal' industry Wf •'Pekin. It ,was built 24 years ago by the Illinois Sugar Refining Company, but about eighteen years ago was sold to the Corn Products Company and since has been enlarged many times. The plant was said to'be equipped with all the known safety appliances and the explosion is the first serious acci dent since it was built. At 9 o’clock, with the estimates of doctors on the number of dead run ning as high as 35, six of the ■ dead had been .idr -tified.. Fire kept res cuers from removing which could be seen and it is feared'm any bodies will be entirely consumed. Of the hundred or more injured, physicians said, a score of them prob ably, will die. The victims were hor ribly burned. Cries of nine men entombed in two telescoped box cars shattered by the explosion, had ceased this forenoon and persons working frantically to clear away the debris were of the opinion the men had -perished. ~ Near-zero cold is' freezing the water over the buildings and steam' arising between the buildings envelopes the workmen in almost total darkness, at times. / .

New York.—Railroads of |the Unit ed States made more progress in 1923 than in any other year since the out break of the world war, according to a review made , public by the commit tee on public relations of the eastern railroads of which E. E. Loomis, president of the Lehigh Valley rail road, is chairman. Summarizing its conclusions, the committee stated that the year was marked by the greatest tarffic .yet known; the highest degree of operat ing efficiency yet achieved; the great est increase in new facilities 1 for the PastlIO years; the beginning of sub stantial new construction after a lapse ot almost ‘eight years, improv ed co-operation with shippers and by substantial improvement in earnings and in labor and public relations. While figures for (December were not available when the review was prepared, the committee estimated that carlo’adings for 1923 would amount .to nearly 50,000,000 cars as compared with the previous record of 45,000,000 in 1920. ' '"In the course of the greatest. traf fic yet offered,” it was stated, “the railroads succeeded in turning a car shortage into a car surplus. They also handled the country’s peak load of traffic without delay.” Representative Upshaw, Democrat, of Georgia. His demand was embodied in a resolution and a speech prepar ed in support of it. , . ^ Mr. Upshaw said Congress' should “clea.n around it sown door by pass ing a resolution declaring persona non grata to the floor of the House any member found under the influ ence. of liquor in the Capitol or House office building, or known to have liquor illegally acquired in -his office.” H e 'also suggested that all Federal -appointees, including cabinet .officials. Army and Navy officers and diplomat ic and consular representatives abroad be required to take a pledge of total abstinence. The “exceutive! guillo tine,” he added, should be used by President Coolidge on all Government officials known to drink liquor. Four Killed In New Year Celebration.

In AichiMii there lived a doctor who was % = great friend o f. the late Senator Ingalls of Kansas, who was a thin, v. iry little man. One day while Ingalisjivas in the doctor’s of- Iiea a newsbpy was heard coming up the stairs and the doctor decided to play a jokij on the boy.' He plac ed a skeleton of a man in a chair b> the desk and tie and the senator went in another room. ( In came the %'/ jwmioiit noticing what was at thfe desk came directly up to the skeleton. When he looked up and faw it grinning at him, he bolted for the door, yelling.

"You can’t ifool me if you havi j>.ut your clothes on.” As Alive As Wilson. The Democratic iHouston Post wants to know whether the.League is an issue in the 1924 campaign. It certainly is. The Republicans Iwd taken the view that the League issue is dead, but former President Wilson revived it. Most democrats hud taken the view that that issue w;is dead, but Wilson is still the dominant power, in his' party and his followers are sO numerous that the wiser leaders cannot overcome the excess of numbers. .The Lea- SHe1 therefore, will be the dbminaut issue Irom the Democratic stand point.

Business Booming In The United States. N • • Business is booming in the United States No doubt about it. Un employment has disappeared large ly; railroad freight traffic beats all records; the holiday trade has been the biggest-in the natiori's history. Everything the free traders,pred icated has failed to. come to pass. The people are buying more foreign products than ever before,. because they heve more money tb spent tha'i they, have had for at least three years. American producers' 'and manufactures are selling abroad more products than they did -*111, 1913 and 1914, before the World war; they could not !expect to keep Up with the- war level. Builiding operations all over the country are at a high level. Export prices of many agricultural products, partic ularly cotton, Sre higher than last year. Retail prices of moet articles of ordinary consumption are lower than a year ago, thus making lower the cost of living. ^ Again it is ■ demonstrated to the whole country that confidence re turns and business booms, as a rule when the party of protection and sound economic ideas is restored to power in the national government. Dead to the World For 51 Years. Back in 1S72, Bill Maxwell, Wis consin farmer, killed a companion, in a quarrel over a woman. At 83 he is the oldest in . the Wisconsin State Penitentiary, probably the oldest convict in the country.

HerVingers were busy with the feather-dtaster on her knee and her eyes were still waiting. _ “I had'a visitor, this morning—rPIerre Landis, of Wyoming.” She .rose, came to him and clutched his arm. “Pierre? Pierre?” She looked around her, .wild as a captured bird." “Oh, I must go! I must go!’’ “Jane, my child’’—he put his arm about her, held her two hands in his— “you must do nothing of the kind. If you don’t want this Pierre to find you, If you don’t want' him to come Into your life, there’s an easy, a , very simple way. to put an end to his pur suit. Don’t you know that?” She stared-up at him, quivering In his arm. “No. What is it? How can I? Oh, he mustn’t,.s^e me! Never, never, never! - I made that promise .to myself.” “Jane, you say yourselt that you are changed, that you. are not the girl he wants to find.” ,She shook her head desolately enough. ’“Oh, m vFm not” “He isn’t sure that Jane West is the woman-he’s looking for.

He felt that hfer fingers were cold. “Yes. For al ways. I suppose so. But how can I do that, Mr. Morena?” !‘Nothing easier. 'You’re an actress, aren’t you?

Jane West had acted with especial brilliance and, she was callef out again and again. AVhen. she came to her dressing-room she was flushed and breathless. She aid not change her costume, but drew her fur coai on over" the green evening dress she had worn In the last sceng. Then she stood before ,her. mirror, looking herself over carefully, critically. Now that the paint’was washed off, and the flush of excitement faded, she looked haggard and white. Her face was very thin, its beautiful bones—long sweej) of jaw, wide brow ,straight, short nose—sharply accentuated. The round throat rising against the fur collar looked unnaturally white and long, She sat down before her dressing- table and deliberately painted her cheeks and lips. \She even altered the* outlines of her mouth, giving It a pursed and doll-like expression,, so that her eyes appeared enormous and her' nose a little pinched. Then she drew a lock of waved hair down across the middle of her forehead, pressed anptber at each side close to tho corners of her eyes. This took from the unusual breadth Of brow and gave her a much more ordinary look. A coat of pow der, heavily applied, more nearly,pro duced the effect of a pink-and-white, glassy-eyed doll-baby for' which she was' trying. Afterwards she; turned and smiled doubtfully at' the aston ished dresser.. * - “Good gracious, Miss West!

Just »t the, door of her motar drawn up by the curb. She saw him Instantly and from ,the first their eyes m et It was a .horrible moment for Joan, What it was for him_she could tell by the tense, pallor of hislieen, bronzed face. The eyes Shex had not seen for such an agony of) years, the-strange, deep,,iris- colored -eyes, there they were now searching her. She stopped her heart in its.beating,’ she stopped Jier breath,1 stopped her brain. She. became for those few seconds ju^t one thought— “I have never seen you. I have .never Seen you.” She: passed so close to him that her fur coat touched his band, and she looked into his face with a cool, half-disdainful glitter of a smile. “Step aside,,.please,” she jald; “I must get In.” Her voice was unnatu rally high and ..quite Unnaturally pre-' ■else. ' • . . . I Pierre said one word, a 'hopeless word—“Joan.” It was. a prayer. It should have been, “Be Joan.” Then he stepped back and heffe tumbled into shelter.

And I can take you at‘once—In a day or two. Your understudy can-fill the part This en gagement Is almost at an end.. I can make it up to Morena. AftejTall, If we go, we shall be doing Betty and him a service.” Joan flung out her hands recklessly.' “Qh,” she cried, “what does It- matter? Of course I’ll go. rd run into the sea to escape Pierre^-” .She leaned back, against the cushioned seat, 'rolled her head a little from side to side like a person, In pain. “Take me-away,” she repeated. “I believe that if I stay I shall go mad.

Afterward Jje had ranged the city like a prairie wolf, ranged it as though it had beeir an unpeopled desert, free to his/stflde. He had fixed his eyes above and be yond and walked alone in pain, v - Dawn found him again ip -his room. What hope had sustained him, what memory of Joan, what purpose of ten derness toward her—these' hopes \ and memories , and purposes now. choked and twisted ’ him, .He might have found her, his “g«;l,” his Joan, with her dumb, lovjhg gaze; he might have-told Ifer the story of his sorrow'in siich a; way that she, who forgave so* easily, would have forgIvenveven hlm,_and.he might h%v£.comforted her, holding,,her so and soj;. sliowing her utterly the truer unchanged, creatly chaDged love, of his chastened neart.

Jordan, famous American astronomer. The new star Is: composed of two, stars,, In rotating, th/ light from one is stopped by the' other every six hours; that Is, in sis hours;the stars of this doublet revolve around each other so as to eclipse. This pair of stars, or this star com posed of a pair, is three times denser than our sun and i each Is about the same size as the sun. The double-star is so far distant from the earth that it takes its light, traveling 186,000 miles .per' second, several years to reach the earth. In fact, if it died or disintegrated, it would be . years be fore we knew it. For all we know we may not be looking at this star it self,* but at its image of years ago.

ACCIDENT OCCURED IN FQi Battleship Rams Submarine Off Port land; Accident Similar to One of Two- Years Ago! Weymouth, England—The British submarine L-24 was sent to the;bot tom of the sea by the dreadnaught Resolution with which she was in col lision. The disaster which 'occurred off Portland, was similar to one which happened two years ago, when- the K-5 was sunk. ~ ' So. far as is known all on board the L-24 numbering -43 perished. Details are somewhat meager, but it seems that. the Atlantic fleet was leaving Weymouth in groups, includ ing several submarines, for the spring cruise, when1 the Resolution rammed, the L-24, which was a mine-laying yessel, and had',fourteen live mines aboard. The accident occurred in a fog, when the vessels had opened out in the channel. Another report says that the col lision occurred when a combined at tack on the. fleet was being carried out by submarines. The L-24 sank immediately and although salvage vessels hurried to the spot and the whole area was searched by. the mine- sweeping flotilla, no trace of the ill- fated vessel was found, e. There is a bare possibility,. naval men say, • that there may be some survivors, .that .is, If the. submarine can be brought to the surface. De pending upon how the vessel was struck, the crew, may have been able to close, the water tight compart ments in which case they might Bur- Vive tor 48 hours. After the disaster, the Resolution returned to Portland harbor, where she will' be examined by divers at daybreak. A court of Inquiry will be held'.aboard the Resolutions When also, salvage efforts, interrupted by- dark ness, will be resumed. . This was not the only accident, for the submarines K-2 and K-12 also collided near the same plance, both being slightly damaged. The:; admiralty has issued at list of the names of those on board the L-24, which Carried a inuch larger crew than' customary, many extra men be ing aboard for training purposes.

The figures cover 272 of the 288 cities with 25,000 or more 'of- population. * They, show that more than half of the build ing construction, 51.6 per cent, was for residence purposes, and that resi dence buildings ran . 64.6 pgr cent of the total cost of a building construc tion program which ran nearly $2,000,- 000,000. .

Because the beginning of a cold in ; the head irritates the delicate membrane lining of the nose. This causes a local nervous convulsion which extends to the lungs and causes a violent expulsion of air. Follow up the first sneeze with ^DeWitt’s Cold Tablets and DeWitt’s Catarrh Jel ly in the nose. They may prevent a case of pneumonia.

Monroe Minister Flays Modern Dance. The XIoiiroe Journal in report ing Ii M i nion delivered in the Cen- ,rai Methodist church at JIonroe1 tin- last Sunday night in the year Dy !lie lwstor, Rev. C. .C. Weaver, says that the sermon was a terrific assault oil the modern dance, and that the minister declared that the Aiiierieaii Legion permitted its hall to lieemiie tagged with the dance lie would do everything in his pow er to abolish the hall. He said tii.it ilie hoys .who died in France diil not die for the dance, and that n dance in the Legion liall was an insult to every man who went a- cross. The sermon was called forth by the announcement that a New Year's dance was to be given in the Legion hall, which' dance Dr. Weaver declared would be a dis grace to the town if given. The title of the sermon had been given in the town papers and a large audience was on hand to hear it. Tlic sermon marshaled, all the unusual arguments against the dance, and Dr. Weaver explained why it was his right and his duty as a preacher to publicly object to dancing. His objections were clas i iied under six heads, and he said that they would appeal to every one who had brains instead of saw dust in his head. The dance is a sin against the body, he said first, because it is not a recreation, but a dissipation Anyone who says it is a recreation is either a fool or a knave. It is a sin agaiust^th<^.-Hiiudr as nothing is so suggestive of mental vacuity as the dance. Tbe people who dance have intelligence equal to minds when it comes to any of the great questions of the day. It is objectionable because of its tendency. Most of the dances now in use came from the slums of San Francisco, New York and other places and even the waltz which is now discarded was born in a Paris brothel. It is of savage origin and is debased in-its tendency. It is objectionable because the verdict of those who knew it best is against it. Many extracts were quoted to substantiate the state ment that the dance is a recruiting agency of the red light district. It Was stated that of the sixty thou sand girls who go to ruin in the United States each year fully fifty thousand do so through the influ ence of the dance. It is objectionable because of its practices. Siu in the parlor is' sin on the dance floor. You “would not permit hugging in your par lor, and ibis promiscuous, mingling °f sex cost the modesty of women a"d the manhood of men. Itisobjectiouable because it is aiiti-christian.

The increase in the re turns received by the ■ American farmer for his output in 1923.,over 1921 -is approximately a' billion dollars. Any other form of busi ness enterprise would regard a charge of pauperism coupled with appeals for governmental charity as a menace to credit and prosperity. Yet the most evil effect has been psychological. The minds of mil lions have been turned from farm ing as a field for investment or oc cupation. Tlie farmer himself has been infected by discouragement which has been infected by dis couragement which militates a-' gainst progress. Buying by the farmer has been discouraged, which has started the endless chain of de pression in other business channels. And what have the calamity croak ers actually done for the farmer?- What canthey do that will be of actual help to him? Has any level headed farmer much faith in the political nostrums they offer? Does the average farmer think he. has much in common with the destruc tive doctrines, these dealers in d e - ^agygVVaeeri^tofegtyitoeXiAafiger for votes? Are not the natural processes of recuperation from the inflation of the war period bring, a relief that is real and sub, stantial in all portions of the coun try where crop failures have pro duced a depression which favorable whether alone can cure?

How to Choose a Wife. Billy Sunday who ,is engaged in a six weeks meeting, at Charlotte gave this advice in a n : of his. ser mons, the past week, to the young men on how to choose a wife. “My mother taught me” saik Mr.-Sun- day, “ never-to buy calico by lamp light, the colors might run.” Don't 'propose-to a girl in her- home at night, but-forget .your glove and call next morning at 9 to get it If the girl conies to the door in a kiaiona and wearing, a . slipper on 'the other,- with her face-unwashed and her hair unkept—then flee from her. “ Go back the next morning and if you find her in a neat -house dress with shoes carefully.buttoned, with smiling face .and tidy hair de corated with a flower.—then .grab her, quick ” • A SIogan That Means Something. “Lower taxes and less legislation” is the slogan-of Ohio farmers, we are told ' ..

More towns die for want of confidence on 'the part of business men and public spirit than from- ravalry of neigh boring towns-or adverse surround ings. When a man is in search of a home or business location, and goes to a town and finds every thing brim full of hope and enthusiasm over prospects of the place, aud earnest ly at work to build.up the town, he "soon becomes imbued with the same spirit and as a result he drives down his stakes and goes Ito1 work with the same interest.

There is no such assurance; there cannot be, If Congress under the present financia s ain. is willing •o tax the putjlic three or -four bil lion dollars in order to ingratiate ctie-aoidier vote, and both political parlies appeaf in a headlong race to that end, why will Congress not make it com inning, and thus add four million njore to the permanent roll?

Mr, Deal’s position, on this ques tion is to do all possible for the re duction of unneccessarygovernmen al expenses. “The American peo- ally by the nation, state and sub- livisiuns, the stupendous sum of seven and one^half- billion dollars more than our entire circulating medium Fhe col ection and-redis tribution annually, of this vast sum from and to the channels of trade must in the very nature of things -nave a staggering effort upon ihe ousiness of the nation.

Higher criticism is a mighty good thing provided the criticism is meant for the other fellow. We areftil prone to believe that it is always the other .fellow that needs it‘instead of us. Hon. William Jennings Bryan wants to present the name of Mr. Murphree, of Florida, for president on the Democratic ticket. Who in the world is this Mr. Murphree that we haven't heard of him until now? The law and order league recent ly organized at Statesville, seems to be functioning rignt along. It seems from what we can read in the Statesville papers that some of the brethren higher up have con fessed that in the dim past they had been guilty of taking oti a little spirits, but from hencefo tli and hereafter they are going to be boue dry. May the good work that has been started in Statesville grow and flourish like uuto a green bay tree. Running a newspaper is lots of fun. If it wasn't for the fnn there wouldn’t .be any country news papers for we have never heard of a country editor that ever jhade a fortune out of the business. The paper helps the wealthy man to make more money by' bringing more mills, factories and people to the town thus enhancing the pro perty of the rich. And yet there are hundreds ot the wealthy who do not even subscribe and, pay ' for their local papers. Such is life in ' a country print shop. A beautiful town, a clean town, a town where people can and will dwell together in peace and unity —a town where each citizen -loves his neighbor and does unto others as he would have them do unto him. Such a town is our dream of Mocksville in the future, when political strife and church affilia tions will be forgotten, and the Re publican and Democrat, the Bap tist and Methodist, the rich man and. the poor man, can come to gether feeling that, all men were created equal and there will be no favofed few of the classes arrayed against the masses. This may be a pipe dream but some time some where such dreams will come true. Hrom what we can hear and read it would seem that politics is going to be warm riot only in Davie coun ty.and North Carolina but through: out the entire country. So far as NortlyGarolina is concerned we be lieve that President Coolidge will get the entire vote from this state at the' Republican National Conven tion. Johnsoiihas a few fellowers but not enough to' get him - any thing. The Democrats will give their vote to McAdoo. In state affairs of course McLean will get the strength of the machine Demo crats while Josiah William Bailey- wili get the remainder. McLean will be nominated by the .Demq-. crats for Governor, but we hardly think.Cooper will be re-nominated for second place on the ticket. There are a few people in this county who are afraid to read The Record; Also a few who are afraid to advertise in its columns.. Their loss is our gain. fHE DAVIE RECORD, M0CK3VILES, .N- C.

What we don’t want is neighbor hood news such as neighbors visit ing each other, boys seen driving up and down tjre road - with their best girls, etc.' That is not news. What we really want is the deaths, marriages, births, removals, land sales, fine crops, big hogs, fine cat tle, sickness and visitors from a distance. No country newspaper can afford to print the neighbor hood gossip, local visits, etc., as the subscribers outride the county and state are not interested in who John Jones or Jim Smith was seen driv ing down the road with. What they want to know is the news worth while. If anything happens in your section worth printing we would appreciate it if you would phone No. i, or just drop us a postal card telling the news in a plain, concise way. Every one of our county subscribers can help us make The Record better by letting us know the ieally worth while news.

Would that not be a war measure encouraged by 'our, laws and would it not be a cause of war? Would not nations uoder^ree Jrade be encouraged to attack one another economically by just such destruc tive competition and would this not breed ill feeling or war? Look at the rivalary Iu snipping which must be done practically on a non- protection basis. Has that contri buted to world peace or did not the rivalry of EngLmd and Germany for overseas markets through com petitive merchant fleets help to drive Europe and the world toward war?

Thus this natiou has bec'otne economically independ ent We have had no reason for using political power to open for eign markets. The jealousy of Europeon trade representatives in the neutral markets of the world had much to do with creating the antagonism that eventuated in the World war. The dependence of the smaller European -nations has been a fruitful source of war in that it has caused each nation to look with envious eyes upon the terri torv and resources of its neighbors. tl is true that European nations heed for the world peace the fusion of small nations into larger, units, following the American example. Further federation, if only in the forni of customs uuions. would pro mote. There, is. no good reason w h y m a n y 'oPttiSe~mm I^Tl Stioii s should not- occupy the same rela tionship as American statos. But world wide free trade would add to world chaos and- fan the war spirit throughout the world.. Free trade would be about as effective in pre venting war as was .the late King Cauute’s address to the waves in stopping the ebb and flow of the tide.

When news is scarce vye have but little stock to fall back on. If we try to be "phunuy we phail,” and if we produce anything cou- t lining any merit outside of itemiz ing we dare not publish it, lest our readers will say, "that crank.” If we t uch on politics we hear the cry of “calamity howler.” _ If at time we feel religiously inclined and should make slight allusions, somehow the pith tviil get punched out and some one will come in our sanctum ank ask “what did you intend to convey?” Sometimes we spell bad and Betsy who spells bv intuition will ask, “ how do you spell such' a word?' ’ We go on and spell it according to Hoyle. “ Why don’t you write it so, then!” These words will creep in and then the compositor will doubtless say, “old fool, I wish he would stop writting or learn tp spell.” Our -greatest fault in this direction is, we are too lavish with letters.

This means that the national democracy is in the hands of the Roman Catholic church and Tain- .niatiy Hall, It means that Al Smith, the Roman Catholic mayor of NevvYrOrk city, Tammany Hall and their followers have won in the first skirmish for the nomina tion of a democratic candidate, and it further means that the national Democratic party of the republic has become the clerical, or Roman Catholic party of the nation. It eveu has a greater significance in that with the Roman catholics in control of the party and its ma chinery that millions of heretofore Democratic voters will forsake the party and either vote the Republi can ticket, or that the real Ameri cans and protestants will get to gether, form a new party and make the issue clear cut for the preser vation of our constitution, laws, free schools and other institutions, which probably also, will mean the breaking of 'he solid south. This condition confronts the party right now and it will not be surprising to see conditions making a rapid and even radical change between now and the Novrmber elections. Under the conditions that appear on the surface today we see abso lutelv no hope of electing a Demo cratic president this year, and it may mean that it will be necessary for the Republicans to name a dark horse, one who is truly Amtricau, to succeed Calvin Coolidge, who at present seems assured of the nomi nation, however, will depend large' Iy upou his attitude on this sub Ject- ' - ■•-• , THfi DAVifi RECORD, BiOCisVlLLfi, «•6.

Such “details” as this-represent the difference between Royster’s Fertilizer and . less carefully pre-• pared foods—and the difference between / profitable crops and.crops that are-ffdfi’sd profitable. : t To keep vast quantities of fertilizer for months represents an enormous supply and a tremendous capital. Therefore, only a large’company like Roaster’s can offer this ’ more effective “cured, fertilizer. G reat bins of Royster Fertilizer <!cure," or "age,” for months so th at your re sultsfrom its use will swell the earnings from your land. Rid yourself of the idea that all ferti lizer is alike. This is no more true than that all land is alike. The truth of this cari be proven—not Blone by the enthusiastic praise of success ful farmers who have used Royster s, but ■by your own.experience. ' ’ Use Royster’s this year. Give, it a fair test—iAnd don’t gufess about fertilizer any Jm ore.-1'; •• Grow better and larger crops by using ' fertilizer that has been .“cured”—that is ■free from lumps—that has been proven chemically correct by forty chemists—and "that has established a record for good works over a long period of years.

The man who publishes the "coun try newspaper,” as it is generally known, whether it be issued every day or every w.eek, has about as hard a job as any man* on the face of the earth' and yet there is much in the daily grind of his life to bring cheer to him He knows everybody in town and he stands closer to every isian, woman; add child than any othery individual in the community unless it be the .pastor of the Ioea- church and some" times he -stands closer to more people than Jhh pastor of any one church. He knows the good qualities and he sees the weak spots in every life. He does not rush into cold type with everything he knows—he has too much sympa thy for his neighbor and spends the larger part of his energy in printing things that make folks glad.. T hj man is supposed to represent the attitude of his community toward every movement. He mu3t promote o.r rather the people think, he must and expect him, to promote every plan which is proposed for the up building or betterment of every little group in hi3 community or in his county. He is expected to help increase'the attendance upon the churches and ic is his bouqden duty to do all in his power to see that there is always a big crowd at a Iy ceum entertainment and he must have at his command on all occasions an unlimited vocabulary of adjec tive expressive of the very best in humanity. He must remember that every woman who marries is popular and beautiful and ihat her wedding- gown is superd and modeled after the latest Parisian style. He must not forget that evory man’s life has had its beauty spots and he must re call the glory of every character es pecially on tlie occasi >n of the pass ing or one of. his town’s folk-. Theeditor ofthis small town or co n ry newspaper must always get behind ihe Chamber of Commerce in its drives or any -other .drive thai anybody starts. If he comes out flat-footed against prohibition some body will find fault with him—but he must come out. The community Will tell him that it is his duty to take a stand. In every town there many people who expect the news paper editor to pay their personal grudges and when he pays he must stand the shock of the return attack. There is a marked line of difference between tne metropolitan newspaper The metropolitan newspaper can be m >re .independent. It can decline to endorse anything or anybody un less there is a "check” laid on the de-k of tee business manager along side of endorsement. It can refuse to publise or ignore the existence of a large, part of local happenings which do not apparently interest the en.ire body of citizenship. It can call a spade a spade and refuse to W»rry because somebody doesn’t like bbt on the other hand the country hewspaper is a part and- parcel of the community life and devotes its energy largely and very unselfishly to the best interest of the individual in the community. Thecountry news papers naturally renders a real ser vice to the community in which it is published. Its editor receives iittle credit for the good which he accon - polishes and very often fails to realize the wide influence which he and his paper exert upon those amogst whom it circulates Taking it in all. the ■ greatest asset of any community is , its local .paper provided the man who makes the paper ’ recognizes the obi. ligation to the community and ful fills it to the be3t of his ability.—N. G Cotton Crower. Suppose He’d Paid Up. / One day, not long since, a Bap tist preacher of otir state was out hunting. In order, to -keep dry he crawled into a hollow log. When the. rain began to fall the log began, swell until'he could get’neither way. He thought of all the wrongs he-had done, and when he recalled that he had not sent a subscription to-lhis paper this year he feit so small that he crawled right out of the log, -without difficulty. Does this story fit vou?—The Waslitucna (Wash.) Enterprise credits this to the Western.Baptist. It is estimated.,that it-would save American girls a billion hours of labor annually if somebody ■ would save American girls a billion hours of -labor’ annually if somebody would - invent a permanent rouge and a permanent face powder on the order of the' permanent wave; - New Tear’s brlls give New Year’s chills. Judge Grady And The Klan.' Judge Henry A. Grady of the North Carolina superior court, now in session at Raleigh, Sunday night issued a statement in which he ad mitted that he was-grand dragon of the ku klux klan and defended the order vigorously. He compared-it to_ the Junior order and Scotish Rite, Mason's, both of-which, he said,, fight Romanists- and. still rer tain social standing. - . Being-a former master of the North Carolina grand lodge of Masons, the grand dragoii knows more about that body, than we do. There is no inhabitio'n agaiust Jews and Catholics in the Masonic creed up to and - including the chapter, the Record is sure, and there are many Jews in M,asonic lodges in the country; several in North Carolina, in fact. A Roman ist does not join Masonic lodge be-, cause of any objection on the pai t of members. , ■ . -. ' The Juniors, as we understand, stand for the bibie and flag among other, noble, things. Neither the Masons nor the Juuiors—high-or low—have ever attempted to regulate the morals and habits of ,any persons except members of their individual or-t ganizations. _ Judge Grady asserts that as grand dragon of the klan in this state he is endeavoring to help build a fiuer place for his children to-live in. He is opposed to wearing the rooe in public, . asserting that it is for the lodge room. ' . . - What the Reco-d thinks about the klans is that its members even tually will fall back.into line, for get about'.the klan days and all, and tiiat in the south at least it will be buc a memory. For that reasou we have never become exercised over its organization, though we have protested against some acts attributed to its members.-—Hick ory Record INFtUENZft S I . .
