APRIL 2. 1924.NUMBER 5*39 - Changes Mind on Bobbed Hair, R eferring to my article in your issue of Feb.uary 27, concerning W1Iietljer or not. -bobbed ‘or abbre viated hair is &. K., I.bavechanged J11J- mind, and instead of being in favor of bobbed hair I am now en tirely, completely, totally and uij-j diniitiishingly opposed to it, the said change of miud being- due party to the fact that 'it Was£ re cently necessary, or advisable,;for me to v'5’1 a barbershop": 'Thdre-I found every chair occupied by some fair dam sel'w hose tousorial apparel had elongated sufficiently to require further abbeeviation. I sat down with the other men to wait, arid while w aiting there I afw for my-, self just w hat the male- gender of our race is going to.be up against unless we do something to keep the unfair sex out of our barber shops. In fu rth er suppdijrt of-the said, change in the said ’ tnind f.it. was my patnetic privilege a few days . ago. to read in a -Ne w Orleans paper an item broadcasting the fact that the unfair sex in New Orleans have psti’ioned the Legislature for a law whereiiuder it will be unlawful for a barber to post a sign prohibiting women from entering their thres hold. This information elicited ex- extensive investigations.on my part and by checking over the realms of history, ancient and modern, • -I^ am uow able to expose to the pub-^ lie the facts as I have found, them, to wit: Since the very beginning women ; has chased fflau. ^Eye chased Adam over; t’ae- Garden . of Eden to give him .api.apple' eore', wii to, JSfci him-ipW; the time.'- of' ’’NoSh’s Ark' T'find women still chasing'man, and there never was a greater chaser than Xoah ’s daughter, Joau of Ark, who, after her father’s ship landed oiiKiugs Mountain, grabbed a shot gun, got in nerFord car, and chas ed Julius Ceasar across the Mexi can border, wfiereaiier she was burned at the stake: for her pains (which, of .course, served her right.) After a careful, extended and exhaustive investigation of ancient history. Here I find women- still chasing man. History tells me that there was a time when a.man could be perfectly secure !from women by attending a' man’s college or by going to his club, his saloon', or his barber shop, But 'women crave to be with men, consequently nearly all of the men’s colleges are co-educational now and our wives and daughters, arid other people’s wives and daughter,s monopolize Ilie clubs. Women did not care to share the- saloon, so they closed ll'em up. This left no plate of privacy except the barbershop-, and 1W1VV it looks as if inan’*s last resort "'Usoon be monopolized by woman ""less bobbed hair is abolished. ■ , I am frank to say fellowcitizeiis, that the situation looks serious: to me, and I hope every man, with hair or otherwise,, will voie against a"y law Riving women a legal right lo patronize barbershops which- "ere originally intended for men — CliCIL WILSON, in Charlotte Observer. .

The negro folk of Princess Anne county, how? ever, believed It to be the staff of a sorceress. Hence the cane now keeps company with other favorite charms which, like ... gloves, stockings, t shoes and even pins, many age-old supersti tions and traditions have enshrouded with mystery. The ring, for Instance, has always been an occult token: An emerald ring, the superstitious still believe, en dows Its W earer with pure thoughts.

Many quaint Old customs ,and super stitions featuring the glove still, sur vive. -A pair of gloves was placed , on a long pole as a'm eans'of advertising or opening a fair In bygone days and tbts custom soil continues In ' many parts of England. In Saxon times, moreover, the gauntlet was used as a token of the privilege of holding a market and as a mark of Uie king’s con sent . I 1 According to Sir Walter Scott, the phrase /!right as my glove” Btgnlfled that pledging a glove was a sigh of good faith, or taking one’s oath. Many •other attributes were assigned to the glove. It was, when worn In the hat, a testimony In ancient times that Its wearer was a good fanqer. . Tiie glove has always signified! dig nity, - especially In the traditions of the Church of England. Wben a con secration of a bishop took place the arcbblsliop was. presented with a pair. They were of lavender color with -golden fingers. This hand-dress was also always hung on the pews of those who. died early and were unmarried. T o bite the glove was ia' mark of dead ly enmity or revenge;, The familiar “old Shoefl of the wed ding is a tried token of good luck. How the-custom ever originated Is not certain, but It Is believed by many to be- a feigned attack upon the bride groom for, carrying oft the bride. This Idea is suggested by the early barbaric ^practices of capturing the bride Against resistance. Others, however, attempt to trace, the hurling of the wedding shoe to the custom of the ancient whalers.

The society has just been granted a charter from the-New York state board of regents,., more than 147' years after a group Of men founded It In Revolutionary days;v V v “Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest of the Greiek-Ietter college societies of. fra ternities, and is In fact,the progenitor of th e. entire college fraternity sys-. tcm,” says a statement recently made public. “It was organized December 5, 1776, when' the first meeting was held at the College of Wiillam and Mary'at Williamsburg, Va. *A few-college so cieties are older than Phl Beta Kappa; among them ,tWhigt and tClIot At Princeton, but none of them sought to expand by the organization of'similar societies In. other colleges. Phl Beta Kappa began to think-of reaching out when it'w as but little over two years old, and at the celebration of Its third anniversary it granted a charter for a branch at Harvard, and four days la-; ter another for a branch at Yale. ■ Closed by Orltish Army. ’Just- two years later-r-in January, 1781—the coming of the- British army closed the college and also , the soci ety’s activities, at WUllam and Mary; not, however, until- the-members bad sealed up their records, which conclude with the assertion- of a 'sure and cer tain hope that the fraternity will- one day rise, to life everlasting and glory Immortal.’ “Many of the early members became ifieD of distinction, as legislators, diplo mats and judges, two becoming Unit-, ed States senators and two judges of the Supreme1 court—Bushrod Wash ington, a, nephew-of President Mar? shall, who was chief justice for nearly; •thirty-five years. • The branches a t, Yale and Harvard soon came to occupy Important posi tions In these coUeges. A sbarked fea ture of their activities was JbeIr anni versary gatherings, usually held during the college commencements; ' These at tracted wide attention by reason-of the distinguished audiences that ^attended and the prominent men who deUvered orations. “In'June, 1824,!General Lafayette at tended the anniversary at Harvard and listened, to ah oration by Edward Ev-! erett, afterwards president of- Harvard and later the , orator at Gettysburg, when President Lincoln delivered his; famous address. ^ Has Ninety-Nine Chapters, ttFrom1 those . early days.

Forty-four per cent of all men and women honored by .tablets In the’ Hali Tof !Fame at New York1 uni versity are members of Pbi Beta Kap pa. Many religious, political , and so^ olal leaders !are members, and also a great ’ company of authors, educators and distinguished scientists. . “The esteem In which' membership Is held is. evidenced by the fa!ct that In 1917 Honorable Arthur J. .Balfoiir and 12 graduates of Oxford .and Cambridge, who were members of the British com mission sent-to arrange for the partici pation of the United States In the World war, gladly accepted member ship. All four of the delegates selected- by President Harding to represent the. United States In the international con? ference for the limitation of armament! were members of Phl Beta Kappa. .

The gangs of natives had ar rived at the compound, and .started- op erations, under the lnimedlate charge of Seaton, who had turned up sober at the appointed time. The old man .worked diligently apd showed that he. knew his business. Be had not touched a drop of liquor. BufSheUa bad not accompanied him to the cottage! and Wlnton had asked no questions. What surprised Wlnton was the fact that the natives seemed to regard old Seaton with an.exaggerated deference which they did not extend to him. Old, Seaton, staggering under his. load of liquor,, was very different from Seaton, standing erect In the center of the com pound, shouting -commands to ; bis obsequious workers, who flew to obey him. : ' ‘You couldn’t have got a better man than old ‘King’ Seaton, If. he’ll stay sober,” said Ned. “But It’s Eard on his girl—” ■ “Why do you call him that?” asked Wlnton, Interrupting because he could not endure any reference to. Sheila., ; There was something In bis tone that checked Bftrns on the threshold of his disclosures. “Why, ! supposed you Knew, Mr. Gar rett. The old man used to be a sort of chief among these Kafirs. Lived among 'em for. years, they say. L suppose there ain't mu,eh to that story, though," he added reflectively, s Wlnton realized that there' was prob ably more behind the story than Ned wished to disclose. And, it ;came to him with a sudden shock that; Ned knew of his episode In Shelia’s house on’the"nigiit of the chase,; and was n r willing, on that account, to be as frank; as he might have been. , » Oh the night of the -natives’, arrival, when there Was confusion and some thing of an uproar over the allocation of quarters, Wlnton was a little sur prised to perceive the Hottentot Bot- ,tlejohn In conversation with hts.coin- pound manager. There was a rule for bidding the presence of strange natives In the compounds. Wlnton did not feel In a position to be a stickler for the present, but the manner In which the Hottentot - passed him without recognition Struck- MmCas odd. Blue ground had been'struck, the matrix of the! diamond. -The news spread all along the reef, and; crowds; flocked out from ,Malopo to see.Ned; was hopeful, that the main pipe would, be found on the Malopo claim Every thing depended on Its location. .As the Blg Malopo was In the center-.of the fields,! Wlnton shared Ned’s, enthusiasm! Tlie capital of the.claim.had been largely exhausted In, .the 'outlay for machinery, construction material, and laborers. Davis; had -given Wlnton three' inonfhk, but. WintbhreMlzedithaL - ajpyRiOHT a t w e Chaemah things. He could work In a small way, discharging' the greater part' of his men, and hope to meet expenses by the finding of stones; or he must throw himself heart and soul Into' the de velopment of the - claim, and call for more capital In a month’s time. Of this be himself would have to furnish 80 per cent, unless he accepted Davis’, proposal. . “ ' Outside capital could not be raised quickly. There Was t^e big diamond! He had It valued by a local man. It WtariU ofoL a. pure-white*-but* being, free' from flaws, would fetch a consid erable sum In the market. The expert announced that In his opinion any of the Jobbers would be willing to ad vance fifteen thousand on It. Another fifteen thousand would go far toward'solving the. difficulty of otP talnlng Immediate capital for develop ment, and. would makeHf unnecessary for Wlnton to call on the shareholders for an assessment-—and subscribe five times as much Aiinself as the rest put together. The great problem, whether the claim was the mouth of . a volcanic pipe, filled’with diamonds, or merely, a diamond ground, having Its origin' else where; ' cbold’oniy' besotted -by'work*' lng. This meant a large expenditure. Wlnton took his troubles to Burns, tell ing him of the Judge’s offer. “I’ve seen the other shareholders,” he said, “and I’m satisfied that they are all In the syndicate's' pocket.1 [They are all tenants, or bound In one way’or another. If !'accept Davis’ proposition it may mean parting with my majority share, In which case De Wltt will come back as purser and you’ll' lose ‘your job.” Let’s see what the Book has to say," suggested Burns. He opened bis Bible and began to read: “Ezekiel, thirty, sixteen. ‘And I.Witt set a fire In Egypt; Sin shall'be In great: anguish^ and'-No; shall: be- broken, up; and Nbph shall have adversaries In the daytime.’ ” He closed the Book and Idokhd At; Winton In great dejection. “Did-you get that, Mr. Garrett?” be asked. !“It refers to the diamond. You can’t,:raise- the money by selling It. The decision's against us there.

The Incident disturbed him a .good. deal, and, made Mtnreallzmthat the--syndl- cate had a good-many cards to play. On the next - morning he started down town with the intention of: catching Sheila on her way to the Continental. At the : corner of the market square be came upon Sum Simpson, making his rounds. The negro bad a great heap of papers Qoder Ns. sno. - ; ./ , “Good morning, Sam!” called Wln ton. “Got a paper for me?" » '*.- “Good morning, Mr. Garrett. I must supply my regular customers first;”1 responded Sam evasively. / . “No; spare .copies, eh?" ‘T m afraid not, sir,” said Sam, looking about him uneasily. “All right! TH get one somewhere else," said Wlnton, wondering a little at Sam’s appearance, which was that of a man extremely anxious to get into other company. - He strolled over to a small general store with a pile of papers In front, of it, and picked up a Chronicle. He ;sCannbd the cable and telegraphic news, and. turned to the personal col umn. This was a feature of the paper. It began with authentic news, and records of arrivals, and departures, gradually tailing Into gossip and rm flections upon the enemies of the syn dicate, which afforded Intense amuse- . ment to those acquainted .with what - WastgoinfoW In. tbwnr- :':N«sr--ther;enil'> of the column Wlnton read: “Rumor reports that one of the fair est of the employees of the Continental, whose home was formerly-open to a certain would-be financial light from overseas long beyond the conventional hours, has now transferred her Inter ests to another.

'; “Noph Is Judge Davis, Mr. Garrett. He's to have adversaries In the day time, and T guess he’s got all the ad versaries that he wants already.’’ „ “Ned,” said Wlnton, “I don’t know, how you arrive at your. Interpreta tions.

He looked at .Wlnton In a hesitating way, and added: ! ; , “Mr, Garrett, would you • take It amiss from an older man If I was to offer you some advice, sir?” “No. ^ Go ahead,” said. Wlnton. “It’s—well, sir, It’s this.’ If you are out to-fight, the Syndicate yoa'tt want to give! your whole heart to Itl There’s a lot of women In Maiopo, Mr. Garrett, whom a man ought to steer clear of.

He was more than ever resolved to take her away from her surroundings, to make her his wlfe'and save her. father, too. ’ He had hoped and believed' that she would keep house; for “daddy" At the cottage.

PREMIER FINDS WORK OF SET TING UP NEW GOVERNMENT HARD. “IT IS TO BE LONC Ho i Grapplea .With, B lg Difficulty of Organizing New Cabinet to Fit New. Situation. VIEW OF HOOSE COMMITTEE CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENT WITH JAFMtN WOULD BE JUSTIFIED. Johnson Bill Brought In Modified to Meet Some of Secretary Hughes’ Objections. <- Washington. — Immediate cancella tion of the “gentlemen's agreement” with Japan regarding immigration would be justified In the opinion of the house - immigration committee;' which submitted a formal report of the Johnson immigration bill modified to meet some of the objections to its provisions raised by Secretary. Hughes. The committee agreed to give wider latitude for the admission of Japan ese coming to this country for busi ness purposes but. declined to yield on Its contention that aliens; generally, who. are Ineligible for citizenship should Efot ^e permitted to entiy. Asserting that terms of the “gentle men’s agreement" have never been dis closed, the committee said it gives Ja pan, instead of the American congress, control over Japanese' immigrants. Wh'ile .it has been in force, ,it was added, the Japanese population In the United States has steadily increased. In its endeavor to find a solution of the question the committee declared it had been handicapped by a “lack of information” as to the provisions ot the gentlemen's agreement, access to ,which can not be had without Ja- jan’s consent. “This much is certain, as indicated by instructions to immigration officers at ports of entry,” the report con tinued. “Under the agreement the United States bound itself to admit any Japanese who present himself af flicted with contagious disease. . Con gressional prerogatives of regulating Immigration from Japan have been surrendered to the Japanese govern ment. That condition coupled with the tact that the terms Of the agreement are secret would justify lmmedite can cellation of-the agreement. “The committee declared the labor department, in charge of immigration is not even In possession of the provi sions of the agreement and that the report of the commissioner of immi gration in 1908 and departmental reg ulations make it apepar that the only Interest of the agreement is to pre vent an Influx ot Japanese; laborers. The purpose of the agreement ^as out lined by President Roosevelt,'the re port added, have not been carried out.” Secretary Hughes’ proposal-that Ja pan be placed on the same basis as other nations would prove “most ob jectionable,” said the report, adding Ibat It ,would .place Japanese, nationals in this c o u n t r y In-ContfiCtVUhnatutfcK lzation.-laws and would discriminate in favor of Japan and against other Asiatic nations.

V ■ Measure Stipulates That Food Stuffs Be Bought In the United •States. -, Washington. — Disregarding party lines, the house adopted a resolution to appropriate $10,000,000 for the pur chase of food supplies for destitute women and'children ini Germany. Sent to the senate by a vote of 240 to 97, the measure stipulates that the food stuffs are to be bought jn the United States and transported to Ger many in shipping board vessels. Three hours were devoted to debate after which a score of amendments were offered. Only one, by Represen tative Jones, democrat, Texas, which jprovided that the supplies should..be -purchased- wherever 'possible 'through farmers’ organization,' was adopted, 165 to 68. An amendment by Representative Fitzgerald, republican, Ohio, would have sought to prevent expenditures of any of the appropriations until a soldiers bonus bill is enacted In'the law. It was thrown out on a point if order, while an amendment’by Rep resentative Underhill, republican, Mas sachusetts to withhold the appropria tion until the German government spends an equal amount for the same purpose was rejected 108 to 84. Amendments rejected by vice voce vote included one by Representative' Burtness, republican, North Dakota, to confine the supplies purchased to wheat, and another by- Representative -.Wefald, farmer-labor, Minnesota, to in crease the appropriation to $20,000,000, Representative Fish, republican.

IsNotFavored Not Sufficiently Resistant to - Cold Weather and Is Sus ceptible to Disease. (Prepared- by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Because Italian red clover is not sufficiently resistant to cold weather and is particularly susceptible to dis ease, Dr. A. J. Pieters and Mr. Edgar Brown of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, addressing the meeting of the Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers at Chicago, recommended that no red clove^ seed of Italian origin be imported and that. In certain sections where the winters are severe, no fop- eign-grown red clover seed be used. Observations and careful tests made In many parts of the country by the department and state experiment sta tions have provided ample proof that these recommendations are Justified. Wherever Italian red clover seed has been tried, witli the exception of the Pacific Northwest, the result has been low yields or total failures In most cases, and when unusually favor able conditions produced a fairly sat isfactory first crop there was little second growth. . Where winter condi tions are not so severe or. where the Bnow covering has afforded protection against the cold the other foreign red clover -has done fairly well, and be cause the supply of home-grown seed la not sufficient it is necessary to use It.Yields Compared. Actual tests it a number of stations show how seed from various sources produces In the United States. At Ashland, Wis., red clover from Chile produced a first cutting of 3.77 tons per acre; French seed produced 2.9 tons; Bohemian, 3.2 tons; and home grown seed from Idaho, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Ohio and Oregon averaged 2.83 tons, H^re the heavy snows’ cov ering reduced the effect of the severe winter. At Spooner, Wls., where con ditions were more severe last year, the Chilean seed produced 1.94 tons; the French, 1.94; Bohemian, 1.97,* and United States seed 2.19 tons per acre. At Marshfield, WIs., .the yields of all lots were less, Chilean producing 1.6 tons, French 1.5, Bohemian 1.4 and- United States 1.6 tons. At EaBt Lan sing, Midi., the Michigan seedy pr<* duced 2.46 tons, other United" States seed yielded 2.18; Chilean produced 2.52 tons; French 2.25, and Bohemian i.94 tons. : The clover grown from Michigan seed made a stronger seed growth than any of the othjers, al though the European, with the excep tion of the Italian, did very well. At College Park, Md., Chilean' seed made'2.82 tons;, seed from Ohlo;pro duced 5.94 tons; French seed 2.46; Bo hemian 2.08;. Maryland seed .2.42;: and Tennessee 2.22. At Blacksburg, Va., Chilean seed produced 1,57 tons; French 1.35; Bohemian 1.19; and 'a number of lots from different parts of the United States averaged 1.59 tons. At the State, college, Pennsylvania, the foreign clovers, except the Italian, out- yielded that grown from . American seed, but whether, or not this was due to some unusual circumstance has not yet been determined. Results have shown that in most cases American red clover seed Is more satisfactory than foreign-grown seed, but the crop grown here is insufficient to meet the demand. An average an nual importation of 10,000,000 pounds is needed to make up the deficiency of red and alsikfe seed. If all foreign seed were poor- the department would not recommend, its importation even In the face of the great shortage, but tests have shown that certain strains do well here In certain sections where the weather is not too severe. There Is great need to increase the produc tion of cloYer.seed In this country. . Much Seed Imported. It was brought out before, the, seed dealers that, between July I, 1923, and January 15, 1924, more than 6,700,000 pounds of red clover seed had ■ been Imported, and that nearly .300,000 pounds of it had been brought from Italy. In addition, about 200,000 of the seed shipped from other parts of Europe is thought to have originated In Italy. Considering the known and suspected Italian seed, It seems that about 8 per cent of the Imported red clover seed Is of the kind which will not prpduce a satisfactory- crop except, possibly, In the Pacific Northwest. The seed importation act administered by the Department of Agriculture, makes certain requirements as to purity, presence of weed seeds and vitality, but these requirements do not make It possible to bar this seed which is germlnable enough and clean enough, but not adapted to our conditions' The representatives of the depart ment called the attention of the seed dealers to the prevalence of anthrac- nosf. disease of red cloyer, which. Is sometimes severe from Washington, D. O., to Tennessee and northern Ala bama. It affects the second crop of all clovers, foreign and domestic, and even, the first crop may be destroyed. There are resistant strains and it Is Important that they be developed and the . seed put on the commercial mar ket At present most of our northern- grown ' domestic seed is as liable to Uiis disease as the imported strains with the exception of the- Italian, which is the most 'susceptible.: At present the only protection for . the farmer is to, insist on information as to the source of the red'clover seed offered for sale and In buying only from: reliable .firms and organizations.: M ItaUan1 seed iB sold as domestic W under some other name much - harm may be done, both to the fanners and tha ' wed. ,trade.' . ' ; . ■. ChickensandEggs Help Improve Home Poultry Products Favored to increase Incomes. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) . Farm women of Charleston, Coontyt S. C., sold 5,441 pounds of poultry and 10,388 dozen eggs during 1923, clb com pared With 600 pounds of market poul try and 1,009 dozen eggs in .1920. This large increase In three years was accomplished, on the part of extension workers co-operatively directed-i>y, the United States Department of. Agricul ture and the state agricultural col leges; by constantly emphasizing the value of pure bred poultry and of tie need .of grading all products. The home demonstration. agent rendered all possible assistance In the market ing of these products, but the good results are attributed largely to tlie fact that at every meeting held, no matter what subject was discussed, poultry was advised as a means of Increasing the home Income. Out of 138 women enrolled,'In home demon stration workj 70 Improved their flocks by the purchase of standard-bred cock erels or baby chicks. In addition to selling poultry, 3,- 337-pounds of butter and fresh vege tables, amounting to $2,368.50, were sold In the county. The money earned by the women in these ways was divided into three portions. One part was laid away for a rainy day, one part was spent In supplying spe-' cial needs of the children or for food or clothing, and the third part was spent for home Improvements. Among these improvements, 23 houses were re modeled by having additions, new floors, or new lighting systems. Elev en women bought gasoline irons, two made wheel' trays, and four bought kitchen cabinets; 15 planted fruit-trees and 138 planted local trees and shrubs' to beautify the home grounds. AlfalfaHayTeridsto _ - Insure Strong Litters Alfalfa hay fed to sows during the winter months tends to insure healthy litters of pigs. Alfalfa is rich In pro tein and minerals and. furnishes ,these elements at low.cost .There are three ways In which It- can be. fed: Let the sows eat it. from the stack, feed it In a . suitable rack, or add about flve.;or ten ,pounds of chopped alfalfa or al falfa, leaves to 100 . pounds of a grain mixture. The leaves can be gathered up from the bam floor where the hay Is pitched from the mow. . Some suggested rations suitable for a ,250-pound sow are as follows : Al- faifa hay, five or six . ears of coni, one-fourth pound of tankage; alfalfa hay, two or three pounds of com; alfalfa; hay, three or four pounds ..of grain, .one gallon of skim milk..' For young gilts the proportion of tankage to com or grain may be Increased. Whole Milk Superior for , Fattening Young Calves There is nothtng qulte equal to whole milk for fattening young calves. This practice provides veal of, the highest quality. If one cow does not supply enough milk to give the calf all that it will consume, then two nurse cow* may be provided. Make sure that the calf Is confined In a box stall- heavily bedded and .darkened. This, will prompt him to lie down a greater part of the time, and It is Inactivity of the iuscles, coupled ,with lots of milk, at makes veal of the best quality.£ Comfortable Pig Gains A fall pig that weighs' 150 pounds along in February that Is eating a pound and a half a day out in the open, will Just about hold his own In weight. The same pig, In a warm, sheltered place,, that Is stimulated thereby to eat six pounds of feed, will make ,about a- pound .and a. half gain per day. In the former case the pound and a halt of feed, productively speak ing, Is lost because no gain is made from It; In the'latter case the six pounds produces a pound and a,hall gain.

Fi FBEH RATES Declares jn Opening Speech at Raleigh That Obtaining Justice in Freight Rates Will Co Far Toward Settling Our Tax Problems... Raleigh.—In duscussing the freight rate situation in his opening speech in Raleigh, Mr. Joshiah W. Bailey, pandidate for the nomination for Gov ernor, said in part: One of North Carolina’s ' greatest handicaps is adverse and unfair freight rates. Everybody pays freight rates. We have no big cities because we have no through-rates from the .West to the sea. If Raleigh, Greens boro, Charlotte, Asheville, Wilming ton, Winston-Salem and Durham were each cities of 100.000 population and there were commensurate ,urban populations at other points, our agri- . cultural problem would be half-solved: and our tax problem; would be much simplified. Our farmers would have markets. Where they now have a 50- 50 relation t<5' the population, there would be a 25-75 relation. We are due to have such cities. ' For 27 years the State took no action to set aside the unlawful sale and dis memberment of the Cape Fear & Yad kin Valley by , the Atlantic Coast Ljne and the Southern Railway; and when it did take action, an act of the legisla ture of 1899 was pleaded against the State. The Attorney-General of this State swears In the complaint in this action that the sale of the. C. F. & Y. V. was fraudulent, that the dismember ment of it,was unlawful, and that the Act of 1899 was a fraud and a decep tion. The Act was drawn by AtlgUtitf Coast Line attorneys. We were a long time finding this out, or a long time telling it, but all will be well, if we can get back the C. F. & Y. V. and make of it a great, trunk-line from Wilmington to Mt. Airy, connecting with the N. & V- and penetrating the coal fields and. the Middle West, and thereby obtaining a through-line and a through-rated freight—and so reduc ing freight charged throughout the State. - If we cannot do this in the courts, then we must take other measures. We must have a through line to'deep water an d a through rate. Nurth 'Car olina must have justice in freight rates. The discrimintions in favor of Vir ginia cities and against North Caro lina cities in the matter of treight- rates is without a parallel in Ameri ca. Virginia Cities Favored By Freight Rates at Expense This State. . •Virginia cities sell North Carolina made goods all over North Carolina, because those cities have low distri buting rates over larger territory than any North Carolina city has. The freight rate from Chicago on shoes, meat, canned goods, farming imple ments ■ and automobiles ranges- from $30 00 to $190.00 per carload in favor of- Virginia cities agdinst North Car olina cities. We are paying “probably not less, than $10,000,000 per year morp In freight than we should pay if we had a through-line and a through-rate from the- Middle West and the coal fields to Carolina-made damasks, denims, tow els, socks, underwear and overalls, all aver North Carolina. 1 Why? There is but one answer—freight rates. The freight on fresh oysters ship ped from Morehead City to Kansas City is 17 cents more per gallon than it 'is on fresh oysters shipped from ►Baltimore to Kansas City. How can we hope t to develop the wealth of this State against such odds? North Carolina has the power to ex act justice for our people frdm the railroads. Let us not be content with filing petitions. Let us have demands and action to suit the case.. The rail roads are not more powerful than this commonwealth. We are not helpless, and they know it. A proper settlement of this matter of unjust freight charges will settle your tax difficulties, and will set the whole State on the road to magnifi cent material progress. Again to sum up. Here is an issue to be decided June 7, 1924. Shall' the full power of this com monwealth be exerted to exact justice for the .people of North Carolina in the matter of freight-rates? What you do on June 7th will settle this question—not what you do in the November election. Before I finish I must say a word about the,standard of progress. After all, it is .not the structures we build. Towers and palaces and millionaires are not the evidences of progress. Often they are the signs of decay. We should measure our progress by what is being done for the children in the cottages—in the. 450,000 homes that live upon less than $2,000 per y e a r- 350,000 of them on less than $1,000 per year. Are their fathers and moth ers getting ahead? Is home-owner- ship increasing? Are incomes of these homes increasing? We must measure our progress not by the number of millionaires In the -State, but by the number of happy homes. It is ours to make of North Carolina the best place in the World for men and women and children to live in. This is the only politics. This is the new politics throughout the world. Government based on author ity, rather than justice to the indi vidual, economic life based on special privilege, instead of equality of op portunity, is' passing out everywhere. It must, pass likewise in North Caro lina. It will pass. The will of God is against it. ’ • .We have had enough of politics of selfishness and power and pelf and glory. The whole world is sick, and weary-of that sort of politics, and all the people of the earth are rising up and taking charge of their govern ments. It is so in Europe. It is so in Japan. It is beginning to be so in ‘China even. The bosses and machines will fall in America just as- the thrones and'the lords-have fallen in the Old World. There is a new age I the world over. Its prophet passed a 4 few weeks ago, but his work will go on. ■Woodrow Wilson was the' morning star- of the new time. HO was a Demo crat indeed, and he gave to the Demo-' cratlc party in- American and Demo cracy throughout the world, its chart and compass for an,age to come.' In his faith let Us Jafib1T. In his spirit Iet- us do battle.' . \ . There is no hope for progress in the ‘politicians, -the machines and ‘ the bosses. They- interpret politics In terms of self-service. AU the progress deepwater And no man can measure that ever was achieved was achieved the'loss in business. | by the people, framing an issue, es- ' There are more people within 60 pousing a cause, and demanding ani mires of Charlotte,; Winston-Salem, answer.

MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, WRDNESDAY, APRIL 9 1924. ’ ,^ NUMBER 40 ‘.-$1 • fW • -!-M Farmers Do Pay Tax. Iiditor Green, of.tlie Marshville Home, is after t.iose who have been circulating the fact that the farm e r s of North Carolina do not pay aUv to the support of the govern ment, which any sensible may is not a true statement. Ti In' his paper last week he has the follow jug on this sueject: ■'The Charlotte Observer, main organ of the Simmons-Watts Morri- LOii political ‘machine’ in North Carolina, says the linotype operator quote! the figures wrong when it made the remarkable ,prognostica tion of 90 percent for the ‘railroad’ attorney in the primaries. The edi tor of the ‘machine’ orgaan says it should have been 80 percent. Since The Home quoted it 90 per cent I hasten to make the change ‘ to 80 per cent. So far as intelligent ac curacy of forcast is concerned. The Oliserver might as well have made it too per cent in favor of the Siinmons-Watts Morrison candidate And while I am dtscussing the mat-’ ter I want to call attention to an other error the ‘machine’ organ committed when it made the dog matic and positive assertion that “the farmers are paying no tribute whatever to the building and main tenance of the fine highways’ in the state. I have previously de nounced this false assertion by de claring that farmers are paying directly in auto license tax, gaso line tax etc., at least $4.,000,000 of the $6,000,000 taxes from these sources, and indirectly they are paying a good portion of the other $2 fioPjggg^Ji' am n'ot-.acqustomed/ to isssuing challenges but I respect fully issue a challenge to the Main Organ to deny this estimate.” Don’t Do It Don’t carry around money in your pocket; don’t hide it in, or near the home. Such a course is an invitation to robbery and mur der. Put your money in one of the banks. It will be safe there. Your money, in the bank will work for you. The very money that you hide at home In a cracked tea-pot, may be the money that you and your neighbor will need tp develop some enterprises that is necessary to your business. If all the money stuffed into un- safeplaces in Sevier County, could be put iu the banks touiarrow, the banks would have plenty of money to loan. Hidden money is unpro duclive money. Hidden money is a menace to your very life. Let all the neighbors know that you keep your money in the bank. pay all your bills with checks. A check is a legal rrceipt. If is small, it is easy to keep iu file; a recept. Don’t walk around with money in your l’ucket. Don’t let any one see you with money. You never know who the man is who will be tempted to rob you if you carry around a roll °f cash. Don’t keep anything but s nail change in the house. If peo ple find out that you do, the news way find its ways to.some man who "’ants it. You never can telL, Arrests by the Wholesale. Jersay City, N.

A negro named Alberry Wilkins of Gaffney, S C., has on one of his hands arm's and chest, the complete outline of a snake, which'seems to contradict the opinion of physicians that there is no such thing'as a. birth mark.. Wilkins is a trusted employe of the Victor Oil’Mill of Gaffney, and any statement which 'he, makes to those who know him is accepted with confidence. According- to his statement,, about three months be fore his birth, a than threw a snake, which he thought V^asj dead, upon the chest of bisvnibther, but- the snake was sfill living, the woman; be? ing badly frighted thereby, aiid that she 'clasped her'. bands across her chest. When Alberry was born, the mark of the Serpent was plainly out lined on her arin an chest,, ,and can now be plainly seen.';- y. ;, .- ‘ One strange thing about the case is, that Wilkins -"seems’ tob’e im mune to the poison of-': the reptiles and that he bandies them with im punity, going so far as to infuriate Them into striking him." but' the poison has no effect on his system In the winter when it is cold, hard scales form on the picture of the snake, and it is with the greatest- ease that Wilkins strikes matches on his band 1 but in the summer it be comes as soft as the rest of his hand.

P0 Business This Year. ■ A business map insists that the tradition of a presidential year be ing a bad year for business is only! a fable. . His contention is upheld by figures indicting that ever a long peried, there.has been more pros perous presidential years than dull odes. There is no visable, reason why this year should be ■ an exception. Conditions at the present time are unusually good. Nearly every who wants work has enployment at good wages, There is nobver sup ply of. goods, and the demand is at least up to the average, calling for the steady operation of industries on a profitable basis. Prices are good. There is plenty of capital and credit. Building continues strong. There is no sign of a slump ingL in the automobile industry. Steel is cheerful.

He reported the matter to the super intendent and the body was taken outand brought to, an undertaker’s here for investigation. For several hours no one was able to tell whether the body was that of a negro man or white, as the flesh had-fallen off of the hands and arms, indicating ,that the person had been dead at, least several weeks. Later it developed • that it was Jesse Irvin Bryan, who had been missing since February 12.

Co.* ContftS* NevrYorit ManyVegetables Injured by Pests Diseases and Insects Miist . Be Fought Until Crops Are Harvested. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) * From the time the seeds of garden crops are put Into the ground until the crops are gathered, diseases and In sects that must be fought may ap pear. Vegetable troubles are due to numerous causes, Including unfavor able soil conditions, too wet or 'too dry, too rich or too poor, lack of humus or of lime, whether unsuited to some crops, careless use of fertilizers, or at tacks .of fungi or other parasites. The adoption of the best horticultural prac tice—crop rotation, the careful1 ap plication of fertilizers suited to each crop, adequate cultivation, the plant ing of all crops In their proper season —Is Important for the successful grow ing of garden crops. Special Treatment Required. The control of diseases due to fungi, bacteria, and other enemies requires special' additional treatment, as does the damage caused by insects. A new. bulletin has just been Issued by the United States Department of Agricul ture, as. Farmers’ Bulletin 1371, Dis eases- and Insects of Garden Vege tables, the purpose of which Is to present briefly control measures for the most important Insects and fungous a&d bacterial diseases of the home-gar- den vegetable crops. The use of disease-free seed and plants, says the author of the bulletin, Is fundamental to all insect and dis ease control. A modified application of the principle of crop rotation can be made even In the home garden by moving the rows of each vegetable to ' another place each year. Many dis eases and insects live over winter In the soil and will appear on the plants again next season If they are In the same soil. Furthermore, since many of the pests of closely related crops are the same, such vegetables should not be planted In succession. Vine crops, such as cucumbers, melons, etc., should not follow one another, nor should cabbage, cauliflower, or related crops follow one another. Numerous Important diseases are carried In or on the seed and cannot be controlled by seed treatment, such as bean anthracnose, pea pod-spot, and potato leaf-roll and mosaic. It Is there fore essential to secure the most dis ease-free seed obtainable. Methods of Control. . In presenting the methods of con trolling Insects and diseases the bul letin discusses them under two head ings, “Treatment” and “Prevention.” TJnder “Treatment" are discussed the methods of control which may be ap plied after the disease or Insects have appeared In the garden, such as the use of poisoned bait for cutworms, the hand picking of insects, and spraying for disease and Insect control. Under “Prevention” are Included all measures of control applied prior to disease or Insect appearance which will tend to hinder or stop the development of dis eases and insects or prevent their over wintering to attack the next season’s crops, such as planting disease-resist ant, disease-free, and weevil-free, seed, treatment of seed to kill insects and diseases, or planting crops on parts of the garden free from the pests. .

Electric Current Is Not Helpful to Seec Claims of Increased Yields Not Substantiated. (Prepared by the United States Departmem •I Agriculture.) Claims made by some Investigators that treating the seed of small grains with electricity increases the yield have not been substantiated by results of experiments by the United States Department of Agriculture. A process patented and brought Inio use In Eng land In 1917 under 'the trade name “Wolfryn" Electrochemical Process” has been well advertised In that coun try, Canada, the United States, and Australia. The.process consists in sub jecting the seed grain to , an electric current (DO) passing through a con ducting solution In which the seed is immersed. Some reports indicated that this electrochemical. treatment Increased the yield 20 to 80 per cent and reduced the losses from bunt, rust and wtreworms. The experimental methods adopted by the United States Department of Agriculture to determine the-value of such treatment and the results ob* talned have just been published In De partment Circular 305 which is now ready for distribution. The investi gators conclude with the statement: “Data; obtained from replicated plats of winter wheat harvested at tie Ar- Jington Experiment farm In 1921 and 1922 showed no. benefit or profit result ing from treating the seed electro- chemicaliy. by the so-called 1Wolfryn' process. Grain yields from all plats sown with electrochemically treated seed averaged 1.1 bushels pewacreless than yields from plats sown with un treated seed. No effect of the treat ment on plant growth or disease infec tion could be observed.” A copy of the circular may be se cured, as long as the supply lasts, from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Great Value of Silage in Wintering Beef Cows The value of silage feeding, is shown forcefully by recent data furnished by the bureau of aalmal industry, United States Department of Agriculture. In the wintering of mature beef , cows In West Virginia it has been shown that corn fed as silage is worth 60 per cent more than shock corn. In growing beef calves in Illinois an acre of corn silage was fount} to be worth 30 per cent more than an acre, of shock com. This increased !Utility is attributed to the many advantages of sllag£ Practically no waste occurs In the feed ing of silage and It creates an appe tite for cheaper roughages. Then, too I the same crops fed dry are not -nearly so palatable and succulent as they are In the form of silage. New Legume Is Fine for Pastures in Middle West A new variety of lespedeza-imported recently- from .Korea by the bureau of plant industry, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, was tried out at Purdue university last year. This variety has a great deal of promise for use In seeding with pasture crops, ac cording to Purdae crop specialists. It grows large and matures seed two weeks earlier than other varieties, so can be used in every part of. the'state. It stays greeri'during dry weather and produces a lot of feed when other crops , are dried up. Tills characteristic jtogether with the fact-that It has a. tough fibrous root system and ,the ability to reseed ItselfJ and spread • w er thin pasture lands makes It & valuable legume for the Middle West. Good Protein Supplement ' Linseed oilm eal Is slightly more valuable th a n cottonseed meal; as « protein ,supplement and should be used In !place of it if the prices are about the same. A combination of the tw o . feeds is desirable In any pro portions and not more than 2% pounds per .ItQOO pounds live weight per day to necessary ’to balance such * ration. -J ■ Importance of Oats in One Rotatiqn of Crops Being engaige'd as we are In general farming, we find oats play a very Imr portant part In our rotation of corn, oats and grass, or clover, because they act as a nurse crop to the hay. Oats form the main grain ration of most farm animals* being more of a muscle-building than a fattening food, writes Bimey Marble In the Michigan Farmer. For years we have fed them ground to the work horses, mixed with corn to the dairy iattle, and with bran and milk to the poultry. During the winter we feed oat straw with a little timothy to the work horses to “winter them over" when not at work of any kind. The straw that remains uneaten' ifused; for bedding, being unexcelled for this purpose as it absorbs liquids easily, readily rots In the manure and has a high fer tilizing Value. To put it all In a nutshell, we grow oats because they, are a square peg In a ’square hole, being well adopted to both the Michigan climate and our needs, as we can use both the grain and straw to a better advantage than that of any other grain. SeeIncreasedInterest in Use of Fertilizers Among the concrete results of ex tension work along agricultural lines which may be'cited Is increased Inter est on the, part of farmers In the work ■with soils and In the use of commercial fertilizers. During the year 1922, ac cording to the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, 213,000 farmers consulted their' county agricultural agents In regard to the use of commer cial fertilizers. In addition, farmers conducted 15,235 fertilizer and 4,035 lime demonstrations. A s'a'result of the activities in con nection with lime, 48,000' farmers used 630,000 tons according to tlie methods advocated' by' the agents., In addition to the above, 105,000 farmers modified their methods of soil management' In order to maintain and improve soil conditions, 3,750 drainage systems, in volving 575,000 acres, and 29,000 pieces of terracing, Involving-445,000 acre's, were carried out according to the methods outlined by the extension forces: ngffllHILI.I .H 1.11. imi.TWIMWlHllBF Never begin a garden.

Feedjng directly from the sepa rator saves labor and makes calf rais ing a -comparatively . simple matter. Skim milk caives make a vigorous, sturdy growth of body and frame. The butterfat in whole milk supplies energy and not protein and oil meal need hot be substituted for It when skim' milk Is fed. Com, oats and, ither grains will supply the energy. If the calves are taught to eat some legume hay such as clover or alfalfa al an early age, by lie time they are three weeks old the skim milk may be gradually substituted for the whole milk at the rate of one to two pounds a day until the. change Is made. A safe rule for feeding skim milk Is one pound for every eight pounds live weight. This should be increased as the calf grows, up to the point where 15 pounds is fed daily! This amount need not be increased unless there Is an abundance of skim milk available, as grain and' hay may generally be, used to better advantage. It is a good plan to feed skim milk until the calves are six months of age if possible, and in some cases even up to one year. FreShIyiSoured skim m ilt m ay be fed safely to calves,over Six w eeks Ol^ but. it m ust not b e decayed. Irregular amounts of sltim milk may cause digestive troubles so it is safest to weigh the milk at each feeding, both' as a preventive of over-feeding and to assure a uniform amount at each feed ing. Over-feeding causes more trouble than under-feeding. The belief that skim milk Is thin or lacks In food value is responsible for feeding more than Is necessary. A uniform temperature should be maintained for all feedings. Body tem perature is the right warmth for skim milk fed to young calves. Calves that are over six- months old may have, the skim milk cold In warm weather but care should be taken to have the tem perature uniform at each feeding, Separator foam should be removed. In trying to drink foamy milk, calvas often suck In large quantities of air which causes them to bloat. ■ Give Extra Attention to Cows Before Freshening Every cow should be dry at least six weeks before freshening. It Is not uncommon to hear a dairyman, says iTTbii 'siniply cannot get that cow dry. She milks right up to calving.” ■ Per sistent production Is very desirable In a dairy cow, but such an animal re quires extra attention during the lat; ter part of her lactation. A dairy cow has only two ways to dispose of the feed which she receives, put it on her back or put it In the pail. Th* real dairy cow does little of the for mer lfshe receives the,proper kindr of feed. -Succulent; Juicy feeds and those rich In protein 'produce most milk. Dry, starchy foods, such as timothy hay, ear, com and corn fodder, are poor milk producers. The only time timothy hay can be called a dairy roughage Is when a cow should be dried up. The first step In preparing a cow for her next lactation Is to sub stitute dry roughage for some of the silage and give a grain ration con taining'less protein. In some cases, silage may have to be withheld en tirely and only dry roughage fed. Milk of Better Quality .May Be Easily Produced A leaflet on clean, milk, showing that milk of high quality^ may be easily produced by following a few simple rules, has been Issued by the dairy division of the United States De partment of Agriculture. The leaflet consists of four pages: (I), Clean, healthy cows, (2) sterili zation of milk utensils, (3) use small-top milking pails, and (4) cool milk promptly. Each subject'ls illus trated, and references are given to bulletins which explain it further. ■‘Keep miik clean, covered, cold," Is the concluding advice.

He worked his way through the mob to the grandstand, a roughly-construct ed hQdgepodge of crude uprights and seats, paid his admission fee, and be gan to'search It systematically for Shells.. She was-not there; he assured himself of that after a few minutes of careful scrutiny. There must have been a thousand persons present, and the general disorder upon the course made his Investigation difficult;, but he was resolved to find her. He began to make Ills way around the barriers, scrutinizing the occupants of the vehicles ‘ If Sheila was at the races, some man .Iiad taken her, prob ably in a carriage. But Wlnton’s jeal ousy was smothered by his concern. Nearly- all SIalopo had turned out Everybody was drinking and shouting and yelling as the horses came gallop ing home, toward the flag-decked bos of the judges. Bookmakers, standing on chairs, shouted the odds, and ev erybody held a racing card In Ills bands. A dozen men caught at Wlnton, offer ing odds: ''Shylock1 three to/two! Back the. .-favoiite, gents! Little Boy, nine to .four! Here y'are, mister!” ■ JEIe shook himself free, growing more ^and more somber and resolute as the (behavior of the mob'became more un- irestfained, and the sickness in his llgart, grew as be thought of Sheila- t&Sre. ■ Hotr could the girl And pleasure In such a place? And who was her-com panion? He looked at the faces of the women seated In the carriages, and for the first time he was conscious of a ter rible fear. He knew next to notbing of Sheila. v Suppose he had been mis taken and had read in her what was not there—and denied to himself the existence of qualities that were evident to any less infatuated than himself I He recalled the veiled warnings of Van Beer and Ned. . ; He had forced himself upon the girl, and. If be had mistaken her nature and character, how could be blame her? At last he found her^ In the middle afternoon. She was seated In a smart dog-cart beside De W itt He was watching the, race and shouting vociferously as he jWaved his card. His animation owed a good deal to the empty bottles' of champagne at his feet Sheila- was listening to him, and laughing. Win- ton wondered whether her mirth eon- cealeiTany deeper feeling; .whether she was enjoying her situation Oierev Wliy had she gone with De Witt? His heart began to gallop. He walked 'Slowly toward them. He understood at that moment why men klli each other <r«er women. He knew ihaf jealousy had the least share In his emotions; rather it was the sense that death alone could 'justify the girl’s outrage against her better nature. He did not know what be was going to da Had be had a revolver he would probably have Bred automatically at t>e WItt and awakened to find hlpi dead at hin feet As It was, the sit uation was relaxed In just sucli a com monplace wuy as averts so many trag edies. De Witt recognized bim uuO nodded wlttesuijy amicability. Shdla united anxiously. "Thai was a good ruV ' called De Witt. “Miss SheIIa and I have hooked In fifty pounds on Little Boy.” Wlnton did not answer him, but fixed his eyes, on Shelia's face. He knew now tliat! his dreams had been a de-' luslon. that the girl-was not to blame.; that she was a worthless woman who had become nothing to him. no met her look, gravely, and then, through the*smillng mask, he seemed to penetrate to the girl’s tortured soul. He read the hopelessness, the shame beneath her smile. “Why are you here?” he asked. . De Witt, who was h^lf drunk, turned to him In maudlin'remonstrance. “I tell you why she’s here,” he hlc- cuped. “Because she Ukes me. See? Likes me and don’t care about you— eE Sheila?” He placed his afm about her, and the girl, shrinking In his grasp, yet did not seem to resent the'familiarity. "Sh>lia,” said Wlnton, "if you .came here out of aifectlon' for that man. Heaven knows It's no business of mine. I’ll go away. But if you- came here because lie threatened you by means of the power he has over your fatfier, Heaven help hlmt” De Witt leanld forward and clutched the whip. “You go to the devil I” he roared. “Sheila, I asked you why you are here," said Winton with patient ob stinacy. The girl smiled mirthlessly. “I am here with a gentleman, Mr. Garrett," she answered.- “Surely that is answer enough. Do I took as if I had been dragged here against my will?” Her lips quivered, but sfie was com posed‘enough, “No;" Aiiswered Wln ton. And there was nothing more to say. A few of those about the carriage were beginning to look at the trio cu riously. . Then the start of a race drew away their attention, and the course was a pandemonium of yelling spec tators as' the horses ran by. Wlnton turned and began to make bis way homeward. He had been on the point of making a fool of himself for the third'time that day;'but his tragedy had iurned into a sordid drama. He' felt that'he did. not want to see Sheila again. He took a circuitous road back to Malopo. It was nearly sunset when •he arrived. He meant to go . to the. claim, but somehow an impulse made him linger In the town long after the stream of - vehicles with their Shouting occupants had returned from tlie race track. . He watched the scene bitterly, the riotous groups that pervaded the mar ket square, gathered about the stoeps of the hotels and filling every ,saloon. H e'bated Malopo more bitterly than he could have thought possible. Some how it seemed like a concrete enemy, a soulless monster that ground men, body and soul, a§ It had ground Stella. And In spite of himself the memory of .the girl, game ,IMickl to him, and with it a great terror. A-sense of danger to her set bis feet along the mean street that led to the sordid brick bouses. ' / Sheila, alone In Malopo, and De W itt hot after his prey! Sheila, helpless.' It was growing dark as suddenly as darkness falls in the low latitudes. 'Wlnton hastened until he ,saw the squalid court before him, and the pump In the center. There was a light In the girl’s room, and the dog-cart was drawn up at her door—no, not the dog cart, but-a Capo cart, with a pair ol horses, such as Is used for traveling. And In It sat_De Witt, amid a'pile of. small-pieces of baggage. . As Winton drew near* he saWShella standing In the doorway. She wore her bat and a traveling cloak. DeAVltt bent down and spoke to her; he gave her his hand, and, hesitantly, the girl went forward, Then Winton sprang out of the shad ows between them. And there Was no need to ask any questions. De Witt leaped to the ground; but before the men came to the grapple Sheila had caught with eager'hands at Winton’s upraised arm. '“Stop!". she cried. “For my sake, stop! You don’t understand I” ; . “He’ll understand soon, enough!” snarled De Witt, beside himself with rage. “I won’t fight him. You aren’t worth It. I’ve been patient and waited* to .the limit.;' now you send tlie fool away, or your father can Swing I" ‘Go!” Whlspered^SUeIla'/ and/ releas ing Wlnton, she put her hands to her head and looked 'at_.De Wltt in terror. “Where are you taking her?” de manded Winton. - . “Where I choose,” answered De W itt “You d—d fighting fool, rueddlln; In other people’s business. I'm going to tell you soipetlilng. now. You've crossed my path In every posslbl'e way, and you're going to hear the truth. Her, father's life Is In my hands 'when ever I choose give him up to the' police., He killed a man.; :That’s nuiii- ber'one. And njhmber two’s-thls. Ever hear of tICIngi' Seaton? That’s him! He ran away to the native, territories years ago, when the; police were after him—” i Shelia rim to him <vlth a cry. “No more. If you have any pity!” she pleaded. . “Let him go, then! Get out you—" Wlnton could • restrain himself no morel He sprang at De Witt, snatched the', uplifted whip from _hl3 hand, an^ brought the lash down across- Iils face. horses, taking fright at the sound, gal loped away along the road Into Malopo. The fight was short, but It went furi ously. Cursing ufie a madman, De Wltt leaped to his feet ind tried to. wrest the whip from Wlnton’s hand. Wlnton. cut., him. across Jthe. face again, and then brought the stock down on De Witt’s head. But the man was gamer than. In the coach; perhaps he saw- that defeat meant the end of his hopes of winning Shellai who stood by, wringing her hands frantically, and pleading piteously, now wjth one man and now with the other. At last De Wltt went down to stay. Wlnton dropped the whip at his feet “You can consider that on Mlss Sea ton’s account" he said. “Our reckon ing will come later. You can go," De Witt, disheveled and bleeding; staggered up. “I’ve got something to tell you,” he whispered hoarsely, and the eagerness of his purpose seemed for the-moment to thrust away his rage. “I ,won’t hear you, shouted Winton, taking upe tlte^whip again. “One word and I’ll thrash you like the hound you are. And if eyer you dare come to this house again, or to Mlss Seaton-—’’ De Witt shrank back. “You think there’s no law In Malopo, maybe I” he muttered. “You’ll pay Jfor* this—In jan, you swine I” Iu t a s'Wlnton stepped toward him he made off along the road. And Wln ton let the whip fall from his hand. It was his second assault that day— and It had brought him no nearer Sheila. But he had saved her. , She had sunk, fainting, upon- the ground. Winton bent oyer her and raised her. “Sheila!” he. cried, and, yieldihg to his overpowering Impulse, he kissed her on, the lips. She opened her eyes and shuddered, and lookid at him in piteous appeal. "Let me go! Why did you ever come Into my life?" she moaned. lSheiia, I love you. You were going to sacrifice yourself for your father. It was wrong. You. do not love that, man” She smiled wanty. “If he had told you; the rest—” she whispered. ‘I don’t care what- more that liar had to say. I love you, Sheila, and I more, if pleaded beileve In you, In your goodness. I am going to make you my'wife.” ‘If you knew, you would jturn from me in loathing.” Shelia, you-are as good and true as any girl in the world.” “Oh? If -he knew! - I t you could guess!’’ - “Dear, I love you. Let; that suffice. I can make you Iove me-=T-".r - She shook her head with her uncon querable obstinacy. “Never,"' slie an swered. Winton held her by the wrists and looked at her, and " she returned his gaze, steady?eyed immovable. “Is It that you cannot love me?" he asked at last. • \ • She nodded; but the nod'itself was a denial of Its meaning. Then she ,be gan speaking with intense earnestness; There Is something that makes it Impossible. I fried to warn you from the first, and you would not be warned. I cannot-tell you. I want you to think of me”—her voice broke for a. mo ment—“as you saw me In the coach coming from Taungs. You-may not ktiow that you are tlie first man In the world, the only man who has ever treated me as a woman hopes to be treated, with deference, with respect That barrier has cut me off from the world—’’ ~ •» "Morbidness, Shelia. Tour, father’s troubles have preyed on your niind," “I want- you to think of me as you thought of me that day. And I shall not trouble'you again. iiYou have helped me more than you dream. But it'is all useless. I can't say any more.” Hev gesture was of Irrevocable dis missal;-• - v '■ “Promise ml one thing,” cried Wln ton desperately, "“That you will never sacrifice yourself for j-our father's sake ^ to that man I” s - ~ "I shall, not see: my father again ” she answered, “Let this be good-by Don’t be alarmed about me. I am go ing to—to friends-^" \ Her sobs choked her. She ran into the house.., And Wlnton, waiting saw the light blown Out; and, turning he made bis way back along the dreary CHAPTER Vlll ^ Thieves In Niflht Was it love, or infatuation only? Next day Wlnton -was amazed to find the old. routine of "things claiming his attention just the ’same. Anil some how, when lie was away from SheHa, the girl became a dream, a figment of his brain. Impossible* and Impossibly dear. ‘ 'H e half expected to be served with' a summons for the assault upon De Witt, but none came. Then he remem bered that Sam Simpson- bad a similar grievance, and that he had-placed him self In an uncommonly foolish position -In thrashing two men In a single day over a woman who had; refused him. He was standing In the compound about, noon, watching the natives at work, when Ned came up to him and announced that a , man wished to see him. Turning, he was surprised to see Sam's black face smiling at him under tbe white h at One o f. Sam's Ups was swollen to more than its cus tomary thickness by tbe blow that Wlnton had placed there on the pre ceding day. .- gam.-raised-his-hat without the least embarrassment “I’m thinking of making a change, Mr. Garrett" he said. “In what respect?" asked Winton, mystified.- “In status, sir.” “You are looking for a position and hnve come to me?” “Exactly, Mr. Garrett. I can no longer reconcile It with my self-re spect to remain a theoretical newsboy, while being de, facto editor of the Chronicle. Mr. Hanson is an illiterate man, sir, and unable to spell, much less construct the English clause. The vio lence., to which you subjected me .yef terday has caused me to ponder, Mn. Garrett and I have come to the con-' elusion that your objections, though forcibly expressed, were not unethical. And, to mention my [chief motive, I wish to perform social service among the Bantu population^ of • your com pound, turning their minds toward civi lization and uplift. Finally Mr. De WItt assaulted me In the office this morning on my /refusal to Indite > scurrilous paragraph concerning your self." ... • ' r . “So that’s De Witt’s game," mused: Wlnton. “He must be at the end ol his tether If he can’t fly higher than that,” he reflected. Then-aloud, “What did he do to you, Sam?” • “He—well, kicked me, Mr.’ Garrett And consequently I was unable to con vince the judge ,that ,two pounds a week Is Incommensurate with the dig-' nity of a position in which physical assault is a frequent and arbitrary ele ment of the diurnal occurrences.” “Sam, I beiiev# Mr. Burns wunts a night watchman,” , said Wlnton. “I’ll take you to him.” ' Ned Burns was strongly opposed to Sam’s employment “You don’t know what dirty work Judge Davis has sent him here for,” he objected. "I don’t know,” said Wlnton. “I rather fancy Sam Is honest You can’t altogether.blame hlm for having edited the Chronicle. If s pretty "difficult‘tb find work in Malopo.” “Well, we’ll see what the Book has to say,” grumbled Ned, taking out hi« Bible. Hs read: - “Two Kings, four, thirty-eight: ‘And EUsha came again to GiigaL and there was a dearth In the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and be said unto his servant,' Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for : the sons of the gjrophfits.’ ” He closed the Book. “Well, I “sup pose It’s all right then, Mr. Garrett,’’ he. said. “But If the Book hadn’t said so I’d never have trusted -him.” “Sani’s all right,”, answered Wlnton. “But rd*'be interested;-to know > hott you Infer It f.-»m that passage/’ “Why, Mr. Garrett, It’s, perfe<?tly clear,” answered Ned In surprise “You’re Elisbu and Tbi Gilgal, and you'vg. come again to me.

C. WILL LOAN BERLIN PREPARATIONS ARE MADE TO ABSORB PART OF GERMAN CREDIT. SLEARS WM FOR EUROPE American Action Will Open Way For European Powers to Help Restore Germany. New York.—American bankers^ an ticipating recommendations o£ the Dawes commission for financial as sistance to Germany, are making-act ive preparations to raise capital for it German international credit bank. While official action has been with held pending publication of the report, steps already have been ^ taken to as- .-,ire American leadership* In financing such a institution, whose needs would absorb a large share of the proposed international loan. Subscriptions to the bank’s capital would be made by virtually all Ot this country's leading financial institutions, it appears. Prominent international hankers have indicated their willing ness to assist in raising America's quota, although the manner and ex tent of their participation will be de termined by the nature of the Dawes' report. In addition to supplying funds tor the'establishment of the German bank, American financial interest?, it is be lieved, will open the way for partici pation by France, Belgium, and other foreign nations, whose assistance in financing the rehabilitation of Ger many is 6ne of the essential' condi tions on which the Dawes report has been framed. -f'" The $100,000,000 credit recently es tablished here for the Bank of France was not strictly limited 'tB measures {or stabilizing exchange, although that was effectively ‘accomplished. The gold, which forms security for the loan, it is believed, can now be utiliz ed to enable France to assume her share of the German bank undertak ing. A proposed loan to Belgium would accomplish a similar purpose. Through this country’s- participation in the project, vast stores of Ameri can gold would find an outlet In to productive channels. Bankers, in dis cussing the situation,'-said- .this, would be one of the principal' benefits to the United States and also pointed out that the grantings of an international credit to Germany would open a large field for the export of American goods. By assuming leadership in the ac tual restoration of Germany, the Unit ed States, they predict, would further enhance its financial prestige, giving it a position of importance even ex ceeding that of the critical days of the war. Approprlafldh- Bill Passed by Senate. Washington.—The independent of fices appropriation bill carrying $349,- 000,000 for the veterans’ bureau-and 530,000,000 for the shipping board was passed by the house and sent to the senate. As approved the . bill totaled " ap proximately $399,000,000 or $98,000,000 less than last year’s appropriation. Amendments approved by the house included one by Representative Hull, republican, Iowa, which -would require the shipping board and other govern ment agencies provided for In the bill to call for bids from navy W d s for supplies and repairs and to ^award them contracts if their estimates were lower than private concerns. Another, amendment approved, pf- fered by Representative Carter, demo crat, would limit salaries of shipping board officials of $10,400 or more to one at none more than $20,000 and four not to exceed $15,000 a year. By a vote of 196 to 170 the house kept in the bill an amendment adopt ed increasing the allotment for the federal trade commission from $680,- 000 to $940,000. World Circlers Halted By Storm.

Laurence Allhutl millllllllUIIIllUlllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllB S AN Easter promise we have the Lord’s . assurance, "I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25) and ‘‘Be cause I live ye shall live also” (John 14:9). And as an Easter blessing we have His gra cious “Peace be unto you” (John 20: 19). But do we not need an Easter prayer, also as taught us by the Lord; that we may enter into the meaning and realization of His promise and of the blessing to which ■ the promise looks forward? Here ,it is, as given to us: “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.” For; this- Is- in the truest sense a prayer. It is the closing part of the Lord’s v Prayer. “After this manner pray ye,” the Lord said. And at the end occurs the sacred word, “Amen,” confirming all that IiaB gone before. It means "be it so:” It expresses our fervent desire to acknowledge all that the several petitions of the prayer imply and to enjoy the experience of what His kingdom, power and glory Jnvolve. The Lord’s Prayer is a complete rec ord of all that the Lord has done for us. It tells us of “our Father In the heavens,” elsewhere described as “the high and lofty one that lnhabiteth eternity, whose name is holy" (Isa. 57: 15), who yet came to ■ establish His “kingdom” among men and to show how His “will" might be done among them. He spoke of Himself aa “the bread of life’”"to them and the "for- giver” of ; their sins. He endured “temptations” against the hells to pro mote His work, but overcame and "de livered” us from the evil that other wise had threatened. So ‘H e hath taken His great power and hath reigned” (Rev. 11:17). , Whence there is, In brief, the whole story of the Lord’s redemption as ef fected for us in the Lord’s Prayer. And It tells, too, of His present work of salvation in us. as we follow Him, that- we may know, and co-operate with Him alone as our. Heavenly Father; that we mSy reverence His - name or character In all the graces of mercy, humility, justice and self-forgetfulness. which are embodied In Him; that * way may be prepared for the entrance of His kingdom Into our minds, As the government of His love* and wisdom there; that we may fulfill His will In all our earthly vocations and deeds; that His sustaining Ioye as living bread, may be daily supplied, giving us strength for every state through which we pass; whence, under Its in fluence, omissions, of duty or debts— that is, failures to discharge our obli gations to the Lord In the way of keeping His commandmentsr—may be removed, so that we sink not in temp tations, but may be able to go.bravely through them, and tie delivered from that root of evil which is self-will and self-pride In us. After which, for the communication of such favors, grati tude flows forth, “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen." Easter teaches us of resurrection. It carries our thought to a world beyond the present. In the Lord’s Prayer we take a descent from the Lord to our lowest needs- .-But then there is a re turn. When our needs are met, wh'en His work is wrought in us, there is an ascent, a rising to Him, an aspiring to Him forever, by means of all that He hath done. 'The prayer that the Lord’s kingdom may be realized as His forever, is a prayer that He may find us the willing subjects of His kingdom; that as He overcame for us, and rose again, we may yield ourselves' to Him fas those in whom He can carry out His full de signs, lending to the discharge of 'our duties in His sight with faithfulness, sincerity and diligence before Him. It is a prayer that this state may be strengthened' In us day by day. The prayer that the Lord’s power may be acknowledged forever is a prayer that His love may have control forever In us. The Lord’s kingdom is the government of His truth; the Lord’s, power is the love which actu ates' that truth. How His power shows Itself In the activities of gen uine love, ranging from the loftiest aims to the lowliest, even If it be only driving a nail into a plank to make It more secure ,for another’s tread, or giving the hand to another to show a little fellow; sympathy I AU this is a power which we are receiving, from the Lord to endure and to appear with greater intensity In the other life In the innumerable varieties of mutual good will whi^h there abound. As the sequel, that the Lord’s glory may be forever, it indicates our desire for the splendor of His will to be re flected in our churches,, where from first to last we ,are HiA yiiimiiiimiitiiiiiiiniiiimmiiimiHniuj I Sumttea f0akp an I I E a a t e r K w t I fimmmmmmmmmmimmimmmm V This Is' the way the Easter bunnies fix up the nest df chocolate-decorated eggs for the kiddles of the.

THE reco rd B A m OPENS CAMPAIGN Taxes On Lands Must Be Reduced Progress Must Not Be Impeded, But Tax Burden Must Be ; Shifted to Shoulders Better Able to Carry it, I Says Speaker. Raleigh.—An audience that taxed Wake County’s Court house auditor ium to overflowing,. mushed, waded and pushed through one of the'worst ‘ blizzards this' section has seen in years, to hear Hop, Josiah W. Bailey make his opening speech for the Demo cratic nomination for Governor. For nearly two hours Mr. Bailey held the attention of his hearers as he discuss, ed the live issues of t$e campaign. The following extracts from Ms speech will be of interest: Governor’s Office Should be Post of r Service. : "The office of Governor of. North Carolina is a post of power and re sponsibility. It should be a post of service. The Governor is the servant of the people and the spokesman of their interests, their aspirations, their welfare and progress. He has great influence by reason of his position. It is his not only to recommend measures but also to lead and to speak for the whole people In their struggle for better things. S There are great issues at hand. ; If I shall be elected, I shall con sider myself wholly dedicated to fbur years of devoted service to the people of North Carolina. If I should not be elected, I shall without bitterness go on as heretofore, seeking in private life to advance the common welfare. Election Must Be Fair. 1 I ask for a fair election: no other is to be tolerated'. I ask every voter to be on guard against the use of money or other foul means In this contest. Has Faith In the People. I stake all on the causes I represent, as herein set out—Justice in Taxa tion, Justice in Freight Rates,—and the power of representative popular government. I sijall frame these is sues, present them to the voters, and confidently abide the result. I have the utmost faith in our cause and in the people. This contest Is not a contest be-' done. * America has been thinking indus trially and commercially for two gen erations—and to great purpose. Let ^ration. mucn more, man mey may oe Bpld for. The value of their lands is going Aownj rather than up. ’And no wonders sincp the tax-charge upon them Sd constantly increases. - < The Remedy. , ’ j ' What is the" trouble? Wherein is there a Temedy? . The State has taken over too many >of the sources of taxation • and left upon land too much of Ihe burden'of government. The State takes for State purposes all the automobile taxes, all gasoline and oil taxes, all insurance company taxes, all ferti lizer taxes, all licenses, franchise and inconie taxes. It has 'put upon -the counties the support of the schools, , .. „ . ___ public roads, county government; and us now think agriculturally for a ge ■ j tJlege t]lree ^reat. aources of expense AllAm ericaisrealizingtha j f a l l . u p t> ri property—that Is, largely —a the cities and towns. The State .ought ,she must now think agriculturally. Property—land—also supports The backs of her farmers are against * - state .ouaHt the wall.' The concerns of the wel fare of the farmers must be first In politics. now; for many years. It is demanded, not just by the farmers’ condition, but by every interest in America. I propose to suggest some things that may be done in this direction. Taxation and Progress. I have for four years contended that the-.burdens of taxation rested In un just measure upon our farms and small homes. Well, here is what Locke Craig said to the Circuit Court when represent ing this State as a lawyer employed by the present Governor: "I feel sure that the annual net rent of North Carolina does not amount to more .than 3% per cent of their tax value.” ‘ Argument of Locke Craig, counsel for the State, in TJ. S. District Court, Page 7. Think of that. It tells the story You ought to read Craig’s speech. It is printed. He also said that in 1920 three railroads shifted $300,000 of their taxes upon other property in this State, of this the Atlantic Coast Line got $200,000. (See pages 4 and 5. What the Farmer Gets. The estimate of ex-Governor Craig is confirmed by official investigations of the State of North Carolina. I refer to a jiamphlet entitled, “Economic and Social Conditions of North Carolina Farmers,” prepared under the direc tion of a committee appointed by the State Department of Agriculture. either to contribute more toNthe free schools or.give to the counties'more of the sources of taxation. Here is the remedy. There is not a County Commissioner in the State but will tell you that here is the remedy. Bring in New Sources.of Taxation.- If you are in earnest about prog ress in schools nad roads an institu tions, you must beware how you put the cost of that progress upon land. On the other., hand, bring In new sources of taxation and all will .-be well. Just freight rates will go far In this direction.'' For they will build cities, reduce the cost of living, take the surplus of farmers into other employ ment, make markets. Can't Do Too Much For Children. Let me give you some examples. We are all agreed that-it would be diiflcult, to do too much for the educa tion of our children. • Many desire to run the free schools longer.. It costs about $14,000,000 to run the schools six months, thdt is, $2,333,333 per month. If you can find a way to get i $4,666,666 from'some source other than land, all well fbr another two months. But beware how you put further bur- dens upon land. If you are for further educational progress, develop other sources of educational support. Road Program Must Be Finished. We must maintain the roads. Mani festly, our road program is not finish ed—it is far from finished. Many counties are justly demanding the roads promised them in the Act. On page 27 of this pamphlet is a , -mere is a moral obligation here. We table showing annual cash income per individual for dwellers in our rural districts. I print this table here.

We hear much of Progress In North Carolina. Well, we have had [ next 60 days In America, ■ some progress, and we are due some more. We are going on;- North Caro lina has a great destiny. None but a fool would arrest the progress of this , commonwealth. Our school progress, our road progress, our public health service progress are sources of un- ' ending pride and encouragement.

It means a ruined universe. , ' Taxes Imposed on the Helpless. And yet we have been piling the burden of taxation upon 'the most helpless, the most poorly-paid class, upon the farmers and the owners or j tenants of small homes in ever-in- What do we mean by progress? Let - creasing measure for years—especial- us think of it and strive for it In terms' of human welfare. 1 What is North Carolina? It is 600,- 000. homes of men, women and child ren. What is politics? It is the means ot the preservation of liberty and the general welfare of these 500,000 homes of men, women ad children. The Point of Real Progress, i North Carolina can never be what she should be so long as 450,000 of come, therefore, to the point where there will be a demand for more taxes. I am here to say that these ad ditional taxes must not be put upon land. That would kill your road pro gram. Land already has all1 it can bear, and more. On the other hand there is no telling what amount of . permanent road construction the peo- t pie would stand for, if the State could ■ find a way to get the necessary taxes from sources other than land. - lNot Necessary to sacrifice Progress to Reduce Land Taxes. Our tax-problem is primarily one of re-adjusting the burden. Of- course, we must reduce the volume wherever we safely can. Massachusetts, Penn sylvania, California, Nebraska • and other states are reducing taxes.. The United States is reducing taxes. A sound economy will save many a dol lar In North Carolina. But after all, our problem is mainly one of Xe- . adjusting the burden. There is too much land, espec.aily farming land and small homes. I do not believe £ any responsible public man will dis-J J; pute the truth of this statement, Now to sum up. Here is your issue for June 7, 1924/ Shall the burden- of taxation con tinue to rest, in unjust measure as it now does, upon property, especially farms and small hpmes?

For all we know, unless the people take a hand, every year will work another increase of taxes. Forgetful that taxes always tend to be passed on to the helpless masses, we have laid directly upon them the greatest part of the burden o t'main taining the Government. . Takes Taken Off Rallroadsiand Put on Farmers. In 1920, $300,000 of taxes was. taken her 500,000 families have incomes of pff three great railroad systems, and V less than $2,000 per year, and of ,these at IeaSt 350,000 families have 'incomes of less than 900.00 per year. ‘Meditate upon that. Poverty is at hot- j tom of many of our difficulties. Half lour people are farmers. And Ibe ; average annual income "of a North !■Carolina farmer is less .than $900. .Pause here for a year’s thinking. Here is the point from which we will -derive the real progress of this com- monweath. Smite - the rock and the water will flow. Raise that average to |$1,500 per year, (where it was in 1919), land we will have all the schools, col leges, universities, asylums, roads, |public service, that heart could de- I sire- You will have business progress, I banking progress, all manner of ma- I tenal progress. |- It Can Be Done.

North Carolina has tremendously In .creased her taxes on property since 1912,—and .when' I say property I mean in large part, land, and in par ticular. farms-and small homes- Let us get the facts. The total levies of general property taxes In this state In 1912 amounted to $9,989,000. The total levies of general propertv taxes In ike State in 1922 were $37, 017,000. . The total levies of general property taxes In 1923 were at least $42,000,000 The taxes on property have risen every year. Here we are: From less than $10,- 000,000 twelve years ago to more than $40,000,000 in 1933—an increase ol more than 300-per cent—a constant in- CSbaie ta sl«ve» years ef M arly M LIFE INSURANCE.

It is nprobable that' Josiah,,0: Ht 1111 ""William Iiailev will either crack [lie uuchine'or wreck the party. We might as well begin to take Ihis Iiisi ili William Bailey serious- ]v They call him a demagog, li msevelt, Wilson and Bryan have all been called demagogs. Any Iellinv who carries his case to the plain people is called a demagog. Tiiev sav .Bailey was once a ,,,ember of the Machine and desert- al it when it failed to serve his ends. Thereare two sides to that story Imt I do know th is: No man who deer his own thinking could run with the Machine politicians in Xorth Carolina very long without netting a distaste for them. Bailey i< a mail who does his own thinking ]l Mr. Bailey ever was a member ct Ihe inner circle,—which is doubt- iu;_lie had the good judgement to jjt out of the organization before he hud to use a disinfectant to stay in it and live. Wliiit has this Bailey done to ■ evoke the wrath of the bosses of this State? Only this: Hehasdared to tlifoiv his hat into the ring for the nomination for Governor with out the consent or dictates of the buses.' Simply that' and, nothing more. We North Carolinians are a funny lot. We think we are the most independent, self-asserting, upstanding bu nch of democrats -on the lace of the earth. We are any thin;»tat that; we are just a com placent, cringing,1 spineless, mind less lot of camp followers who take our politics like we take our reli gion,—from our ancestors. This is as true of Democrats as of Repuoli- cans. We never bother about choos iug our candidates, but let a little group, of up stale bankets, manu facturers and their lawyers make up the ticket for us. It is notorious that the governors of North Caro lina are slated twelve to sixteen years in advance. And when they slated Angus Wilton McLean for the nomiuation in 1924 they- even had the audacity to tell liimtliathe would run without opposition, fiiey had side tracked Max Gard- ller' toiling Max he should have it 1:1 tijoS; and Yarser’s friends were Wiijfiea with a promise of the no mination for Varser in 1932. In llKantmie it is being whispered •fat Iihringaus of Elizabeth City 0,111 ^lavU the nomination in 1936 if he will be a good boy, deliver the SMds for .McLean this time, and . for the others in their turn,^and •svek no office until the Machine is tcady for him. ^ndpoorMr. McLean, rich in 1 ln lands, rich in . bank stock, IIC'1111 tuihoad securities and rich hi corporation favors was the most tlsaPiioiiiied man in the world " len ^le 1’uts his card in the papers 1J'1' l0jk the stump, only to\meet osiali William Bailey seeking tne saUie nomination. . ' ' Kich in farm lands, rich-in bank H? 1 r-c*’ ralIroad securities and 1 m in corporation favors, Mr. c .can may he but lie is poor in J 1PuLiritv. JIr. McLean does not lj" to meet the plain people; lie ms never been one of them; he °es not know them or understand them. And so here comes Josiah Wil- ai'i ailev who asks no favors of si I, , hIue andWho . says to the ii,m iusIness 111^nl the^fisherman, e p oddiug head-worker and the lmnds I??.™110 toils with hls I !' Thisis a democracy we Verv vn tlIls 'S *our State; -you. tiou r,fU’ e a V0lce 111 the elec your governor and every other office of this commonwealth if you will but exercise it. I ask you to vote for me as a protest a- gaiust the smug and predatory group who have for many years presumed to do your thinking for you.’ if And all over- the State of North Carolina the small business men,' farmers, fishermen, plodding head- workers and those who ■ toil with their hands are looking'up to Bailey as the hopeful untried. In Bailey they have discovered a leader with the legal skill, the businessacumen and the intellectual ability to cope with the bosses in power. And so we might as well expect anything to happen. With his platform of lower taxes for the farmer aud eheapet rail road rates, Bailey is getting the ear of the peo-- pie. On- these subjects McLeau can speak but .feebly; he is one of the State’s richest men and rich men’s tax views are generally look ed at askance; for many years Mr. McLean has been a. railroad attor ney, one of a group, who have ser ved their masters so well as to de feat the efforts of the people to se cure relief from unjust rate discri mination that is ever a serious men ace to the welfare and prosperity of the masses., Mr. McLean can talk but feebly about unjust rates. Buf on these issues of taxes aud freight rates Bailey can talk and is talking in a way to' suit the jpeople. And it seems to me that-, one doesn't have toIbe a prophet to see that the Democratic Machine in North Carolina is on the toboggan. If Bailey doesn’t -,win this year, -he will at least have put the. Machine m such disrepnieTby; hisv smashing indictments of it, that the Demo cratic party will . be wpbbly in North Carolina for years to come. A vote for Bailey may save the party for many only temporarily save the Machine. The Machine will eventually have to ,go.

Mrs. Benton McMillan says the women will decide the next presi dential election., Women have the vote, but, it is “Yes. We Have No Bananas JEoday,” with most of them Thegreat majority of women are not prepared to exeercise- the fran chise intelligently. They know noth ing of politics, nothing of world af fair?*. What proportion of the aver age women even reads the editorials in the daily papers? A precious small proportion. Women read the society pages and any especially ex citing news that’is front page stuff Women, as a rule, are not interest in history their out look on life is limit ed. They have not peered into the wider horizons of philosophy, they are unable to envision the future, what It may hold of disaster to them or those they love, is hidden from them in a deep well.of ignorance. If women are to be a power, for good in politics, they must get out of these time worn ruts, pick up. their intellectual possibilities and exer cise their power, with with wisdom and forethought. jVumen have genius- for detail, .for practical affairs, it is in this field, that women should shine. If women can sweep out of the corners in politics, clean the windows polish up all the shabby furniture that is now being used as “platforms,” then her mission will be one of happy augury for the future, one of fulfillment for her —Greeneville Democratic-Sun. Farmers SEould Organize. By J. W Hendricks; County Agent, Catawba County ■ Agriculture gives the ,least re turn for capital and labor invested of any line of work. The farmei -could get along very well with- pres shut prices for what they do sell if. prices for what he has to buy, would coine down accordingly. In corti-, ,parihS prices today- with; pre-war prices we find that labor ,is. about twice as high, freight 75 per- cent Higher, with farni machinery, equipment, materials etc.,- more than doubled and all supplies in creased from 75 to iQo per cent., We also find that farm products as a vyhole are -selling with an.ihcrease, of less than five per cent. These facts all enter into the cost of pro duction. We must admit that the farmers are very brave for thky have stood for months,- and today we find them still standing." . There are two ways to put agri culture 011 a level with'other lines, of industry, first the, price for farm; products must advance- or, second, the prices of other commodities' must come down. - Unless one of. these changes take place we are go-- ing to face a more critical situation', It is true the farmers has his part to play in this period of reconstruct tion.

We niust grow the products the market wants, grade. and pack it accordingly if we except the best price. As individuals this cannot be done, but can only be done through groups. This will lead to group selling or cooperative market >ng- . . Cooperative 'marketifag is not a- gainst anything, it is simply for a bigger and better agriculture with higher standards, this will not only help the producer but the business man and consumer as well.

The average man, tbe non-office holci.ig class? How? The war-tax that has been continued five years since the war was over, has not even lessen ed the^geueral tax-rate. Instead, a continually mounting tax-rate is seen. When high sur-taxes are paid into the government treasury, none is returned to the tax-payer. On the copt ary, higher prices for necessities*? continues the vicious, circle. ‘ What effect does a high sur-tax have on the fortunes of tne people?

It takes all kinds of people to make a community, but some are .more indispensible' than others. There are those who go through life with a smooth serenity - that is seldom if ever disturbed. There are never ruffled because they do not exert themselves enough to go thoroughly into any condition of affairs Jdiat demands their.attention. They scarcely ever do any harm in the world and rarely trouble themselves enough to do any good. They, are generally populor, but they .command little admiration. -Then there is a second kind who never hesitate to speak their inind when the occasion demands it. As a rule, they are fair students of men atid affairs, they are willing to make /att.-dffoi&.tU-'get'^li^ conclusion after a carefnl study of the Situation, and'then stand by their convictions, whatever the con sequences. Tbey give praise where it is due and they are not afraid to criticise where criticism is necessary They are the constructive citizens of the community,' and right or Wrong, they are very much desired, because they are. honest in their opinions. And the third kind—need we memtion him at all—the chronic kickers who see no go.od in any thing, who question others’ motives and who never were known to com pliment any gopd deed or any pub lic-spirited movement. They came into the world, go through life with one perpetual kick and raise an awful kick when they have to leave. They are a destructive force in society, but more destructive to themselves.

The Sinking Fund Mr. Tay-Payer did you hear some thing like this'two vears ago: “Put us in and we’ll reduce your toxes. they are too high now and can be1 lowered. The county has no need with so much’ money.” And- when you paid your taxes did you find any reduction? On the other hand had they not GROWN nearly double?. And you are told "We had to have a kinking fund.” Yes it is a sinking fund alright. Some of tbe tax-pay- ers have a sinking feeling when call ed upon to put up for that purpose. A sinking fund starting at $125,681.- 41 when the property valuation and paving ability of the tax payers is lowest .and sinking to $2 000 when the property valuation may be twice or thrice what it is today.

A man is but a worm of the dust —he comes along, wiggles about a while and finally some chicken gets him. Are the officers doing their duty • these days? This is a question that is frequently being asked by the good people of the town and county. Since two or three big Democrats are getting tangled up in the oil scandal at Washington we predict that the investigations will soon be over. Thereare times and seasons for all tniugs It sometimes appears to us that a well organized Ku Klux Klan could find work to do right- here in Mocksville. The price of cotton seems to be goiDg up these days. Why is it that the price always goes higher just at plauting time? Could it be possible that the cotton grmblers have anything to do with it? Prom present indications it would seem that President Coolidge is go ing to be nominated for president on the first ballot! at Cleveland. Mr. McAdoo is making a desperate effort to secure enough delegates to put him across in- .New York but if he gets the nomination it will be by the skin ot his teeth. p There is going to be much build ing in Mocksville - this spring. With houses becoming more plenti ful there is uo reason why rents should not come down. Ii we are not mistaken there are ten or more empty houses in Mocksville today. High rents have kept a number of people from locating in our town. They say that rents are but little higher in the big towns and cities. There is somewhat of a history WHO DO YOU WANT FOR SHERIFF? ■ There are a number of men in Davie cpunty who are thinking of making the race for the nomination for Sheriff this fall. Of course on ly two men can get the nomination. The two conventions will name a man for this.place—a Republican and a Democrat. The Record reach-, es at least two thousand voters iu Davie county. ' We want to find out who the people want to fill the Sheriff’s office for the next two years. The following gentlemen have been spoken of as prospective candidates on the Republican side: Will N. Smith, Morris Hartman, S, H Smith, C C. Smoot, Kelly Cope, Robert Smoot, G. F. Winecoff, C. V. Millerj Will Myers, Sanford R. Smith and J. K.'Sheek Cjn the Democratic side R. G.

The Record would be glad if Mr. Black-, welder would furnish us all of the particulars in his own handwriting, telling the cost of the grading, who had it done, who paid -for it, etc. Our readers would appreciate this information. • Eleven, car loads of fertilizer were’shipped into Davie county the , past week for the members of the Co-operative Tobacco and Cotton Growers Association. The farmers know what.kind of fertilizer they are getting, besides they are saving money by this method of buying in large lots. The farmers in Davie are waking up-and are going to do better farming and get more for their labor in the future than they have in the past. You cannot keep a working man down. If Rev. Tom Jimison, of Spencer is going to speak in Davie county in the interest of Hon. Josiah Wil liam Bailey, The/- Record would be 'glad to know.when and where. Jimison and Bailey'have a good many friends in Davie and we have promised to let the public know when Tom is to be here. When he does show up there will be a treat in store for all ,those who come put to hear him, Tomis a first class orator and has the nerve to say just what lie thinks regardless of where the chins fall.

J. B. Swaim, representing the Co-Operative Tobacco Growers Associatiou was present^ aud ex plained the co operative marketing system in a practical, concise man ner. Itisalm ostan assured fact, that Mocksville is going to get a co-operative marketing warehouse this fall. All that is needed is - a little co-operation on the part .of the business men of the town with the tobacco growers of the county. Mr. Black, representing the co-op erative cotton growers association was also present and made a-few re marks. There is a bright outlook for the farmers and the business men in.

The amendment would provide that a new census report be issued separ ately from others showing the amount grade and staple of foreign cotton In this country and linters and old cotton on hand up to and including Jnly 25. This would confine the other reports to production and consump tion, The amendment further would provide th at the cotton ginning* re port be issued by the department of agriculture instead of the bureau ot census of the department of commerce.

Greenville, S. C--VThe children’s founders roll was inaugurated by the Stone Mountain Confederate Monu mental association in order that the children of the south might have a share in the carving of the greatest monument the world has ever, known. It provides for the enrollment of white children, under eighteen years of age in the great book of memory, which will occupy the place of honor in the memorial hall at Stone moun tain, for the memorialization of Con federate soldiers whom they wish to honor. Bach child who makes a contribu tion will receive a small bronze medal designed by Gutzon Borglum, showing that he is one of the founders of the memorial, and later, when his name has been inscribed In the great volume of the children’s founders roll, he wilt receive a certificate showing' the num ber of the page and the line On which his name appears. One dollar was named as the child ren’s contribution because the associa tion feels that it is small enough to enable every child-in the south to have a party in the memorial. It also makes it possible for all families to enroll the names of their beloved Confederate kinsmen whether or not they feel that they can/take one of the adult found ers roll memberships of $1,000. For each one dollar contributed, a child can enroll as many names as he likes, provided he sends in one d'ol- Iar for each name enrolled. For each one dollar sent in, the child receives one line for himself and the person he wishes to memoralize. - Contributions will be received In the names of the children who are dead— the same rules governing these appli cations as .those of living children. If. every child in the South contribu tes his share to the memorial, it will mean, not only that the children will have the honor and glory .of helping to build the world’s greatest monu ment to the world’s greatest heroes, but that they will have contributed substantially to the memorial, fund, thereby enabling.

The party comes to North Carolina from Washington for the purpose of getting a first-hand view of the accom plishments In road building within the State, the South American delegation having come to this country’ primarily to inspect road-building as it is Operr ated in America. That it turned directly to North Car olina, being guided here by the bureau of roads in Washington as the State that is most progressive in this enter prise, is considered high testimony to th r ’reputation that North Carolina has sent abroad as-to its activities in this line. The South American ambassadors and ministers in Washington will be a'fraction of the full delegation com-' ing from abroad for the inspection.'

EXPERTS FINISH OF, FILE REPORT ON GERMAN RELIEF SCHEME- WITH REPARATION " -COMMISSION. ’ GIVE GERMANV FREE RANO Representative of U. S. Slated For an Important Hole In Execution of ,... „ Experts’ Plan. . . . Paris.—The report of the experts, who have, been engaged, for the past three months in the task of ascertain ing Germany’-s capacity .to jpSy repara-, tlons was. handed to the' Reparation- Commission. . The : two committees were under, the chairmanship of Brig-, adier General Charles Dawes and Reg- inal McKenna, respectively. The League, of Nations is drawn into the reparations problem by the Dawes report, while an unofficial rep resentative of the. United States is. slated for an important role in ,the' execution of. the experts' plan. An American member -of» the general board of control for,the proposed new gold bank of issue is, quite likely to fill the important post ot “commis:. sioner.” His duty will be to decide when Germany1S capacity to pay has been reached, while IherLeSgue finance committee wifi be asked to arbitrate if the: commissioner’s decisions in ap plying the “index of prosperity” are disputed by either Germany of the Allies. Recognizing the obligation. of Ger many to pay, and. declaring that she has resources with which to pay, the experts insist that If Germany does pay .she must ,have>her hands free to exploit her economic resources.' . , Thd experts carefully omit in their report mention of the. Ruhr, but make it plain ! that the. Ffench and Belgians must satisfy themselves, by leaving garrisons in the Ruhr, if they see* fit, but taking their hands off the Ruhr and Rhineland Railroad and the Ruhr industries. The first prerequisite to the pay ment of ,reparations, the experts as sert, is sound money in !Germany. They propose to this end jthe estab lishment of a new gold bank of issue with 400,000,000 gold marks capital, In the organization ot which they make, it to the interest and ,profit of Germany, as woll as to the advantage of the Allies, to co-operate. In order to prevent these payments from, affecting, JnIversely Germany!a financial stability, an- index of pros perity has ben fixed, making it pos sible to ju d g e whether the amounts of the scheduled payments are or are not beyond Germany’s capacity.

Diamonds of Malopo j By VICTOR ROUSSEAU I Oopyrftfht by W. G.Chapman 5 CHAPTER VIII—Continued. —11— Wlnton communicated the decision to Ham, and it was arranged that he was to enter upon his duties at the end of the week, .relieving Nedt who still oc cupied the brick shanty, but was plan ning to board at a cottage oh the Malopo road. WlnRmhad now reached the point where the immediate sale of-the big stone had become Inevitable. He had had a quantity, of the blue clay—which Is simply the yellow clay before de composition—crashed with mallets,- an- UM atIsfactory process, but useful when tfc£ slow process of decomposition can not be undergone; Xhis had been passed through the washing troughs and picked over. Not a single diamond had been discovered. .Ned couid not understand it.' If only s few small stones had been found this would have been an augury for the future. Still, Uttie could be gauged as to the resources of the claim from this. The diamonds might lie compactly at a lower level. But bis need of funds compelled Winton to enter into nego tiations for the sale of the big stone. He shojved it to one of the jobbers, whb was In Malopo. The man agreed to advance him fifteen thousand pounds on it, pending Its valuation. The trans action was to take place on the follow ing morning. Winton had had a day of Intense la bor In the compound, looking over the washings. He flung himself down on his' bed without undressing, and fell asleep almost as soon as his head touched the pillow. Once he awakened 'with a start, and, half dreaming still, imagined that he heard a horse canter up to the compound. Then he fell asleep again. But after a while he began to be aware of a sense of oppression, and he struggled in that dim borderland be tween sleep and waking, where dream and reality are inextricably blended. He felt as if invisible fingers were clawing at his throat, so that each breath became an effort For a long time he was unable to shake himself free from the bonds of sleep. At last he found that his eyes were open. It was quite dark, but he fancied that there was a figure in the room, and he became aware of an intolerable, sweet, sickly odor that filled his nostrils. He. must have stirred, for he felt the hands at his throat again, and was certain that it was not hallucination; he felt them between periods of uncon sciousness that might have been years. Something damp was against his lips. Winton recognized the odor as that of chloroform; and by the.faint light of the moon that came through the little window he perceived a man’s face bent over his. He-tried to cry for help, but only a- hoarse whisper came from his throat, and the saturated handkerchief was clapped over his nostrils. Then followed absolute unconscious ness, broken by the distant sound of a revolver shot, and a faint cry of pain. Both sounds passed through Winton's mind as meaningless; but suddenly .The felt a hand upon" his shoulder, shaking him. With a supreme effort he sat up in bed. The fumes were suffocating, but .he managed to spring-to his feet and stagger toward the window, which had been opened. Then he saw Sam’s agi tated black face before him. The man w is speaking and trying to make him understand. Wlnton could not gather the Import of what he was saying. He shook himself free impatiently and leaned out of the win dow, breathing in the desert air. Grad ually his situation dawned upon him. “What is it, Sam?" he mumbled. “Mr. Garrett, sir, come , to the next room! They’ve stolen the diamond! I was watching, though my job doesn't begin till tomorrow. Come, sir!" Winton stood up. The room' had ceased to revolve about him, but still swung dizzily before his eyes. The moon was still low; it could not have been much past midnight Eons seemed to have passed since Winton had gone to bed at nine. He made his way toward the door, supported by Sam’s arm. He passed through the open doorway. The outer door was closed. Two men lay upon the floor against it. One was Kash, the Armenian, stone dead, with a bullet through his forehead. The other was Ned Burns,' breathing, noisily, but unconscious, and his head cpvsred with blood from a-blow of the butt-of the revolver‘which lay beside him. . , Sam caught at -Winton’s arm.

A ud wa» lugging a t Wlntea'* « a :.i-- again. “Look!” he cried, pointing acroBs the room. Then Wlnton perceived th'at the safe had been blown open. But there was more than that: It had been displaced from the position which It- occupled, and beside and half under It was |a 'yawning hole In the ground. “That’s the way they camel” cried Sam. ■ !■...- Wlnton ran to the safe. The dla- mondwas, of course, gone. He stooped and began hastily to search Ned’s pock ets for the keys. Ttey were gone, too. . The chloroform stupor was fast leav ing him. He ran toward the hole. He could just see the line of the tunnel below. He swung himself into the hole and entered the tunnel, Sam following him. It was hardly wider than a man’s body, and not three feet in height, so that It was necessary to scramble along it on his hands and knees. Once Wlnton fancied that he heard sounds ahead of him and stopped, but tben he could hear nothing except the indefinite mur murs that are audible underground. He went on like a mole, outdistanc ing the negro. Now and again he bumped into stakes that had been driv en into the hard clay to hold up the roof. The robbers had laid their plans with care, and they must have been weeks about their execution. At last a faint ray of moonlight ap peared in-the distance. It grew clear er, and the tunnel began to widen, end ing suddenly In a circular pit, of the kind that marks the beginning, of ex cavations along the ‘;diamon8 - fields. Wlnton scrambled up . the • side and stood under the stars. He then saw with bewilderment that be was standing In the compound of the adjacent claim, just where he had emerged on the prior occasion when he entered a branch of the tunnel be neath the Armenian’s store. It was clear that the diamond thieves had utilized for their work the Hot tentot’S predilection, learned from the Bushmen, for subterranean excava tions. The plan had been a clever one, and it appeared to have succeeded. Nobody was stirring in the com pound, nobody was anywhere in sight Forgetting Sam, who had not yet made his appearance, Winton ran through the compound, clambered over the gate, -and made his way toward Seaton’s cottage, to' call him to go to Burns. But when he drew near it he saw with dismay Jthat the door was wide open, and the interior a litter of rubbish. He ran on, passed-the thres hold, and entered the bedroom. It was empty, the bed had not been occupied, and / the old man had evidently de parted: ‘ ;: For the first time the Idea of treach ery occurred to Winton. He staggered out of the cottage. A blind rage took possession of him. He glared about him, and saw Sam in the distance, within the compound of the next claim, looking about him. He saw him point. Following the direction indicated, Wlnton perceived a Uttle native boy holding a horse‘behind Hash’s store. At the same moment he saw a man slinking toward it against the edge of the compound. And he ran a t‘ full speed along the road to head him off. As he ran he saw that Sam, too, was In.pursuit of him. It seemed unlike ly that the negro would be able to'catch. him, however, and Winton himself was fifty paces away. . The boy, apparently terrified at' the turn of events, let the horse, go:-and rah. Tfee animal reared, but the !run ner reached It and seized it. by tS ' bridle. The^tndihetitaiy delay! enabled! Sam to.cover the ground between tiiem. He leaped at hlm-aihe was climbing quickly Into the. saddle. Wlnton rec ognized the mitn now M Van Voftt,"the diamond thief. ' ■ ' Van Vorst logt. his balance,; but maa-- aEed to jiuli a revolver from an open holster, and fireiJ.-at Sam polntblank. 'By a miracle‘o f good luck Sam dodged the shot, and a moment later was rac ing at the, top-'of his speed toward the shelter of Kasb's store. : . Van Voht Baj? .Wfatijn and,.standtng beside hla horse, aimed-"deliberately «ud £r«d. IhtKbollat ^hipped * ton’s cheek. Next moment Winton was grappling with the thief... Van Vorst raised the revolver and brought it, butit downward, smashing across'Win ton's head. . Wlnton dropped, but staggered to his feet in time to see Van Vorst leap Into the Baddle and ride away like Uie wind -toward the desert Then Sam’s shout was heard. The negro-appeared again, leading a horse by the halter, the sad- dle and bridle across his arm. He l&d remembered that Eash kept a: horse InJils stable, a racer which he ha<l %cqulred cheap as the result of a bet, SHStOWing to an injury to the ani mal’s fetlock. It was one of the best horses fa Malopo, and the sight of It between the shafts of Hash’s cart had created a good (t^fil feeling against the Armenian. Sam began to slip 'Sn=; the=-bridle hastily, while Wlnton, snatching the saddle from him, adjusted it and began to pull In the girth. '“I’U catch him!” said Sam. . Winton would at any other time hate been astonished at the transformation In the man. The negro who had run yelling from the Chronicle office on the day before now seemed devoid of fear. “You get help for Ned Burns,” said Wlnton, and mounted. The horse needed no urging. It had been kept for days together In Kash’s stable, Its only exercise the pulling of the storekeeper's cart on the slow rounds of Malopo. The sense of a rider brought back the memories of the old days. It dashed off In pursuit of Van Vorst as ifWinton’smindcoin- municated to its own the urgency of capture. Winton stuck to his seat doggedly and tried to keep his senses. The blow had reopened his old wound, and the blood was pouring into his eyes in a blinding torrent. Buthe concentrated all his will upon the chase. Unless he could regain the diamond the syndicate would oust him from his control of the- Big Malopo, and make him the jest Ot the community which he had come to hate. . And somehow he felt that he was, In an unknown way, fighting for Sheila as well as for his own. Van Vorst came into sight, a Uttle speck far1 out upqn the plains. He had left the road and was. striking across the desert in the direction ot. the. native territories, ten miles' away.' Malopo was a protectorate, the crim inal law of the colony ran there!: Bi the tribal lands, however, Van Vorst could laugh at pursuit until he.found his opportunity to slip across the bor der into the TraQsvaal or Damaraland. Winton knew this. The horse, sight;' Ing the fugitive, threw all its efforts into the.chase and began to gain swift ly. It was an eery ride across the sand under the moonlight. Winton, sick from the chloroform and the blow, knew that he Could not last long, but how he was going to return he did not stop to think. He felt in one of the holsters and found a revolver there. And, holding the.weapon In his hand, ;he waited grimly while his. horse [over- -hauled the other. rV-V c They had raced past an ’outlying farm,-which showed in Ijie distance, the poplars standing up like ghostly senti nels across the flat Now nothing was visilile anywhere except the desert. Malopo was far behind. Winton gained steadily. He could distinguish -that Van Vorst turned to watch him, and the action slowed his horse for a few mo ments. Winton gained more and more. Now only two hundred yards separated the fugitive and the pursues When they were a hundred paces apart Van Vorst swung round In the saddle and fired. The bullet flew into1 the sand twelve paces away. Now only fifty paces separated them. Van Vorst pulled In suddenly and fired once more. He had only two more shots, and there would be no time to reload. Wintoh calculated that; but the ball whistled uncomfortably, close, and this time he answered twice, without effect. Van Vorst sat on his beast llkfe a statue, aiming carefully at Wintdn’s body. Winton spurred his horse, mean ing to ride him down. At the same ttme,he half swung himself out of .the. saddle, crouching against the animal’sf neck, so as to avoid presenting a mark. Van Vorst .fired his fifth • shot. It would have killed Wlnton; it struck the saddle fairly and lodged under the tough pigskin. Wlnton was now al- moBt upon him, his own revolver in hla hand. "Hands up!” he cried.: He knew nothing :of .South African- tricks of' marksmanship,. or the train ing of native mounts..' For an instant he saw Van Vorft pittlng on his horse, motionless; at the';next the/Korse had curveted to one-afte, alia Wintonjsfc out stretched hand caught at nothing. l$en Van Vorst.fired Ms last shot " 'JThe bullet pierced the liorse’s braii It reared In Its death agony. Winton, flung over Ite flank, fell prostrate. As he fell,' be' managed ,to re-fain pos session' 'of his revjrtverl' Van Voret saw It; he snapped his weapon, but -It- was empty.: With a curse he spurred his horse and gaUoped away. . ---■ Wlnton disengaged Mniself from his dead moimt and/staggered to his feet Ha -saw Van Vorst dlsafipearlag into the illimitable distance. All rohnd him waa Uitt dagttfc He ta t fiswa wearily; when he was stronger he would have to pick his way back to Malopo'by his horse’s tracks. : He must have dozed for a few minutes, for when he looked up again he saw two riders cantering toward him across the desert ' CHAPTER IX. ' «“■ Sheila's S^eret. ' As they ciune nearer he-saw that one of them was a woman: He watched the pair with apathy; he.felt too ill to be interested In anything very much. But In a moment he was upon/his feet, staring incredulously at Uie girl. The blase of moonlight upon her face revealed to him—SheUaI The other man was a Hottentot At first he., thought It was Bottlej'ohn. Then he pfercelved It was a shorter, younger man. He was evidently gheila’s escort But it was Sheila’s appearance even more than her presence' there that as tonished Winton. She wore .a ragged suit of khaki, with tall boot* t&at reached to the edge of her. knicker bockers, In her ’hair was, a wreath of the pungent yellow flowers! of the arid lands, her 'bare throat was encircled with a necklace of blue beads, and there were bracelets of hammered cop per upon her wrists. She leaped from her horse/and ran to Winton. “Did he hurt you?” she cried. Then, seeing the blood upon his face, she uttered an exclamation of fear and began to wipe it with a handkerchief that she drew from her pocket. “Tou sire wounded !” *'A slight hit on the head—like that other,” said Winton. ‘Tm aU right, I think. Sheila—” “I’ll tell you how I came here. I heard, of the ‘conspiracy. It was planned by De Witt. He meant to get the diamond .so that you should not sell it and raise money. Tou would have to go to the syndicate.” “Well, Van Vorst has it all right,” answered Winton. He was still looking In' wonder at .the .girl. Her whole, demeanor, had .changed: siie.se,emed freer, more con fident, W der, braver. ‘TH-tell you how I came here,” the girl repeated. “I learned of the scheme. Judge Davis hatched it through De Witt. They employed Van Vorst, prom ising him the diamond. Van Vorst wanted to get downcountry. He agreed. My father knew. They wished him to have a hand In it, but he. was afraid. Oh, don’t think it was loyalty to you!” she cried. ’“I warned you from the beginntrfg,” the girl went on.' “You should, have left us alone. It was not for me to teU you that in his fear of De ,Witt my father would do anything, betray any trust rather than risk his life. That man has hounded us, and some day he wUl meet his deserts. But when I heard of the plan I rode in to. warn you. And I have met you. 1 That’s all.” “No, Sheila,” said Wlnton, looking at her and feeling the old mad infatu ation for her'again, mingled with the old doubts and uncertainties. “There is one thing you have not told me: how,, you came- here, or from .where jo u have come.” “If I tell you, I must tell you what I do . not want to tell you,” she an* swered quietly. “I have asked you, In memory of the honor you did me In the coach at Taungs-to-ieave me, and to let me keep the > truth from you. Isn’t, that enough?” “It would be enough If I' did not be lieve that you are the victim, of a hallucination, Stella,” Winton an-' swered.. " “Then you shatf'khow,” cried the girl. “In any event, you cannot rid* back to Malopo tonight, wounded as you are. It is eight miles away, and It is only five to my—my home.” There was a bitterness In her voice as she spoke. “If you can ride, and wilj ride with me tonight, you shall know everything that you want to know be fore we part for the last time.” “I can ride,” answered Winton. “And I wish to know, to prove to you that what seems so dreadful to you is a trifle, something that we can laugh at, Sheila.”’ The girl’s attitude was expressive of intense -excitement as she listened. She made no reply, but, turning to the Hottentot, addressed him in his own tongue. The man clicked in answer, dismounted from his horse, led it to Winton, and, placing the reins in his hands, set off at an even jog across the desert In the direction from Which they had come. Wlnton would have helped SheUa into the saddle, but she vaulted In without touching the stirrup, and sat upright on her mount, waitings for him. He clambered‘up, anti'-they set off-side by. side. '. 1 The fresh breeze,’ blowing on Win ton’s face, drove the last-traces of the chloroform away. The scalp wound had ceased to bleed. Winton fcegaa to feel stronger. And he watched Sheila, riding gracefully at his side. He perceived that her saddle was of •tb* i thinhest and', most pliable leather, her-feet hardly touched'the - stirrups i. she rode like one of the centauresquo flgW ^npon jh> Elgin marbles. Who and swfiat was she? H e'could;not be lieve that tjttf' girl was tha 'bhild of the old thief and drunkard who had betrayed him. V.-v. (TO -BBI’CONTINUED.)

As many of-the-markets are run on a B per cent commission basis; the total amount of sales Is usually known from the commissions received by the mar ket management; but these figures often do not include orders for eggs,- poultry, .butter, or other produce sent directly from the farm to the cus tomer. Increased Sales, To give a few instances: In the Square Deal market at Spartansburg the market sales amounted to $20,315,- 04, an increase of $5,315.04 over last year’s sales. One woman baked and sold 3,120 pounds of cake In nine and one-half months. Many kinds of flow ers had a good sale, and those who made sausage meat reported excellent success. The Marlboro Club market doubled its business during 1923, sales amounting to $4,735.95. One member sold $100 worth of cake In one month. The market bouse has been enlarged to twice its original' size. The home demonstration agent for Greenwood county reports that the club market was revived this year after a lapse of two years. In Darling ton county $4,500 worth of produce was sold on commission, and the, agent believes that- other produce worth at least $1,500, of which there was no record, was also disposed of at the market. In Marion county 15 pro ducers made ' $1,470.54 through their club market, which has been consid-' ered so successful that the chamber of commerce is taking steps to erect a permanent market house for next year. Newberry community market had sales totaling $6,015.93 and additional orders amounting to $2,500. Improved Quality,'* One conspicuous result of these vari ous markets is the continued Improve ment In the quality of what is offered for sale. It is found that a high-grade butter.-brings better returns than that of poor quality and that keeping pure bred poultry means Increased profits In the long run. Wool Production Shows Big Increase Over 1922 Wool production last year totaled 223,610,000 pounds, the United States Department of Agriculture estimates. This was an increase of.t 1,050,000 pounds over 1922 production, "due part ly to a~ larger number of sheep and to an Increase of three-tenths of a pound In the average fleece weight, which readied 7.3 pounds. Texas leads the states as a wool producer with 19,700,000 pounds, Wyo ming-- was "next with ? 18,800,000 pounds, Montana 17,775,000 pounds^ and Utah 17,210,000 pounds. Idaho pro duced 15,455,000 pounds; Ohio, 14,313,- 000 pounds; California, 14,181,000 pound's, and Oregon, 13,200,000 pounds. In the leading producing states, wool is mostly a range product, except In Ohio where It is a product of the farm without the range. The department’s .first estimate of the mohair clip is 8,651,000 pounds for 1923, as compared with ■ 6,582,000 pounds In-the census-year-1919. Most of the mohair clip of 1923 was in Texas, for which state the estimate Is 7,100,000 pounds. Crowding of Chicks; IsBadinBrooding Usually Caused by Little Fellows Getting Chilled. (Prepared by the United StAtea Uepartmevt of Agrlciiltur<l0 -„One: of-the most* ^disastrous condl-. Uong,-,according to the officials of the United States Department of Agricul ture,' that can ’ occur to;.tbe brooding o f chicks Is to allow, dibhf tb-.cro^^ together. Crowding' is caured either through the chicks becomtag .Overheat ed or chilled,, ’ usually th^', latter. Crowding may not only cause - loss through death of many chicks, but many others may suffer to such an extent as. never to regain . normal health. Crowding is an Indication of Improper methods of brooding, and the normal development of the chicks Is Interrupted. e V ’ In order to prevent chicks from crowding employ the following sug gestions ,given, by the department: Be. sure’to. have good ventilation In the brooder, but avoid drafts. If there is danger from overheating, bank the fires In the coal brooder stoves or burn a lower flame In the oil-burning brooder. Open the windows slightly, but be very sure to avoid a draft over the chicks or they will catch cold. On the otherhand.lf the chicks are chilled they are bound to crowd. When they are first put In the_brooders the; tem perature should be about 98 degrees F., and It should be, maintained fairly constantly for a week or so, depend ing upon weather conditions. As the chicks get older the temperature should be lowered gradually; the cooler the weather the less the tem perature is lowered. .If the chicks start to crowd, it Is fairly certain that they are too cool and more heat should be supplied. Watch the brooder room carefully and try to keep the chicks comfortable. Eliminate Unprofitable Lines by Farm Records Of 17 farmers In Knox and Lincoln counties, Missouri, who kept farm, ac count books last-year under the direc tion of their county extension agent, nine have changed their methods of farming to eliminate unprofitable lines, according to reports to the United States .Department of Agriculture. These farmers are all keeping accounts again this year and have influenced a number of their neighbors ' td begin keeping them. They found It required only a few minutes’ time each day to keep the accounts. This, they state, Is time well spent,,for the records are proving valuable, as an Inventory, for reference, and. as a guide'In planning for better and more profitable effort the next season. - BoySirStad GirTs-Glub MelfibbiterLeam of Kgs The pigs Or sows and’ litters belong ing to the boys’ add girls’ 4-H club members In West-Virginia, which cost about $5,000 whMi purchased, are now estimated worth over $12,000, accord ing to reports to the United States De partment of Agriculture.

Grower of SprmgvWfceat Can Overcome Big Loss How the- spring-wheat Igfower-. can overcome losses from dockage by eliminating wild oats, pigeon grass, cockle, smut and other foreign matter at the thresher. Is told In a new United States Department of Agriculture mo tion picture, “Wheat or Weeds.” . .This new film is a contribution from the grain Investigations division of the bureau of agricultural economics. It tells the story of the average spring- wheat grower losing heavily on every bushel of wheat he sells because of dockage, and it prescribes the remedy —clean wheat! gcenes Include the actual, operation of the aspirator and disk recleaners at the thresher, showing the separation of wild oats and small weed seeds from the grain. Animated drawings visualize minutely the actual:workings of . the disk recleaner. “Wheat or Weeds” will be circulated through the educational film service of the" department and the co-operating state institutions. Copies may be bor rowed for short periods or m ay be pur chased at the laboratory charge. Select Clean Potatoes for Planting in Spring In picking out the potatoes for seed, It is Important to select not only good clean “spuds,” but to make sure that the seed-does not carry any diseases. Stem end rot is a Common potato trouble maker,- and was widely dis tributed'-last yeafi" Those who? are familiar with the 'disease say that it can be readily detected at the stem end of the potato by either a dark brown ring beneath the skin or in more severe cases by a dry rot af fecting a part or all of the tuber. AU potatoes affected with the rot should be discarded. Black scurf, a disease which forms dark brown specks on the surface of the potato, is another disease whicb Is said to be common, espedaUy on northern grown seed. - This • disease causes a reduced stand, weakens the plants and causes small potatoes. Common scab, another important disease, is very, destructive, often re ducing the yield and making the pota toes unsalable. Harness need repairing?

Legume hay, and soy beans , grown In sllas* corn supply it cheaply. ; - * IMPORTANT FACTORS IN CARE OF CHICKS . The care ofthe baby chick is. Of greatest importance ^during the early part of the chfck’s . lite. Careless handling often results In loss of chicks, and stunted growth, points out D. H. Hall, extension poultry specialist at Clemson college, who adds the fol lowing suggestions. In caring, for the baby chicks the first thing that should be done is to see that they have a good place to sleep at night The coops or the house where.,the baby chicks sleep should be kept clean, dry, and sanitary, should be ,-free froin lice and mites, and should affofd protection' from cats and nocturnal vermin, such as rats, which prey upon chicks. The mother of the baby chicks should be confined In a coop oi* house, and the baby chicks Should be allowed free range. If the mother is confined, the baby chicks will range around the mother, but will remain within, a limited area of her. In case of rain or hawks, the mother con call the baby chicks to her and protect them in the coop. When-the mother In allowed free range,\ the weaker baby chicks will be lost or become so weak that they will die on the range. The mother will take the baby chicks out through damp grass and early morn ing dew, thereby chilling them and weakening thejr-b'odies downf-to where disease may easily overcome them. The -baby chicks should be confined In early morning, while the mother hen should be confined at all times, if best results are to be obtained from the core of the baby chick, and the house should be kept dry and clean. Proper Amount of Feed for Flock of Chickens As to how much to feed, a question frequently asked, we can do no better than refer to the advice offered by the United States Department of Agricul ture; “The feeder must use his own Judgment in deciding how much grain to. give th e. hens, as the amount of feed which they will eat varies with the different pens and at different seasons of the year. They will eat more feed In the spring while laying heavily than In the summer and fall when laying fewer eggs. A fair gen eral estimate Is to feed about one quart of scratch grains and an equal weight of mash (about 1% quarts) dally to 13 hens of the general purpose breeds, such as the Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds or Wyandottes, or to 16 hens of the smaller or egg breeds. This would be about 7% pounds of scratch grains and mash daily to 100 Leghorns and about 9^6 pounds each to general purpose fowls. If hens 'have free range or large runs contain ing green food a general purpose hen will eat 5 about 75 pounds of feed a year and a Leghorn will eat about 55 pounds, In addition to the green stuff consumed.” ' Preventive Measures to Guard Against Diseases Early In the spring, when everything else around the farm is being cleaned and put In shape for the summer, a coat of whitewash will add greatly to the appearance and sanitation of the Interior of the poultry house. It is the cheapest of all paints and may be used ,on the exterior of the building, too, if so .desired. Whitewash Is made by slaking about ten pounds of quicklime In a pall with two gallons of water, covering the pail with cloth or burlap and allowing It to slake for one hour. Water Is then added to bring the whitewash to a consistency which may be applied readily. •A weatherproof whitewash for ex terior surfaces may be made as fol lows: (I) Slake one buBhel of quick lime in twelve gallons of hot water; (2) dissolve -two pounds of common salt and one pound of sulphate of zinc In two gallons of boiling water; pour (2) into (I), then add two gallons of skim milk and mix thoroughly. White wash, is spread lightly over the sur face with 'a broad brush. Poultry Hints It seldom pays to keep a hen after her second laying season.• • * A young duck should begin to lay at about five months of age.« » • Leghorns can get along on three square feet--of-henhouse space; the larger.'breeds,-'need four square feet'-O A . • ; -J* 'How often the old litter Aoffifi H removed aiid replaced by new "depends on'toe.numberiof blrda In 'the house, nnd' dryness of the floor.

The pending nptjopifl legislation jsr prohibiting the cotton intentions report discouraged the Departm ent's getting estimates on this crop. - We- feel that the farmers are going to plant all that they can. especially in North Carolina. TheprobableAmef- ican supply a month ago wqs aflout 1,51)0.0^ bales as compared wjth 5,= SO1OOO bales a ypar ago and JO.ffiQ,- P bales in 1931.

T here is an election pending for the consolidation of all schools in Clarksville township, including the whole of the Cana L ocalT ax Dis trict, which lies partly in Farm ing ton and Mocksville townships, said school to be located near the Clarks ville precinct. t The people in the 'Cana district are almost unanim ously opposed to this consolidation, and' we wish to offer a few reasons why. We favor the_ consolidation of such schools where practicable, but do not con-' sidhr the consolidation of large' ter ritories, w ithout due. regard to the best interests of. all sections con cerned, to be either wise or just. Forty years ago the .foundation was laid for better schools in this neighborhood.. W e were-then-hav ing two and a half m onths of public school in a log school house^ with slab benches, having no backs. O ur fathers at that time realized the need of better ' opportunities for their children; so they put up a good house, at their own expense, and supplemented the short term public school witd a subscription school. in both fall and. spring. M any were the boys- and girls tak ing advantage of these opportuni ties, Who, otherw ise' would have been.denied the benefits of an edu cation. T he schools was carried On in this , way for some twenty years, and thev property was m a naged by a Board- of Trustees. A bout this' tim e the State W^s offering aid for, high school work, but Davie county was only entitled to this aid for two schools, and as .this.,was soon taken up by ; Farm -’ -lSgtO n'aiidrfi^ depend on our own offorts idr the’ improvement of our school. Our people then enlarged the district' and voted a special tax of 30c. on the $106.00 valuation and 90c.. on the poll, to lengthen the term and employ more, and better teachers, to carry the ,Work through the ninth .graded Thus the school went on for several years but, when the valuatiou of property, was raised.it was found that, there would be more money than was required for present needs', so the' rate was low ered to 1.5c. Last year however, it became necessary-to'add the fourth teacher, and the rate Was raised to 20c. --• ' We have improved', our sc.bool frpm tim e to time, as 'appoftunity offerbd,.. until uoiv. we are about closing one of the best session, . in the history, of the school. ' Last sum m er, a petition was cir culated;, asking for the. - repeal of the Lcoal tax in the Cana district. Following this .,.was a ,petition ask ing th at the .tax be .not repealed and the, lattef peritiph carried- by ari overvyhelmihg; m 'a jd fity ;.1 _.

This faCt’.is largly due to the influence; of ,the: school andito givedip th is iriflnence which has m eant so~nnfcb 'to our neigh- borhoodj-is -more;than we can^be expected to do willingly , , and more than the people in the western part o f thetow nship would wapt. to do if they were in our place and we in . . . .

W e have nothing - against the people in the western part of the the township. T hey are good folks and their children ought to have the best advantages th at can be provided for them . If th e re ‘was no other way, except the proposed consolidation, by w hich a- school could be provided for that section, it m ight be our duty to m ake a sacrifice -in their behalf;-.' but the S tate offers other plans for consol idating elem entary sch'oolsor farm ing union schools like the one we have.- A Standard H ighSchool requires a term ' of not less than eight months, nor less than forty-five high school pupils _in average daily attendance.; It w ould. be a; long, long, time before proposed district wOuld- meet these requirem ents, and nothing short of this would be any better th at w hat we now have. In' the rural districts where agri cultural is th e . cheif industry, * six m onths is about as long as the larger.boys, especially think they can. attend school, and these- are the ones who would be taking’ the K igh^fgrades. In tK elargerschpbls like M ocksville, there is only , a comparatively, small num ber who finish the ■ eleiven grades.. There are' such great • opportunities these days for y.oung people to make money th at the greater nortion, of them stop before they finish high school. A num ber o f our young folks,' who wovld have finished th e ninth grade here this ‘ year, have gone to W inston-Salem to w ork. This is not as it should be, but it is a situatuation that 110 one has yet been able to control. T he in tention of the school law is to best serve the people, and we believe that two school, the one here and the others at Clarksville, whould do this. Some think it woulfl be too expensive to have two houses, but we have one th at we can use,* for the present, and if there is only one school it will take from three to six trucks, to carry all the child ren who would be* too far:aw ay to walk, and this would cost ,from $8,000 to $15,000, not including the cost of operating-and repairing bills. This would soon build a good house. Money spent for buildings is considered perm anent improve-, ment, while the first cost of trucks is to be repealde every few years- There in-this district one . hundred and thirty or forty children, all of •whom would have to be transport= ed if the school should' be moved irom here, As ii. is .now all in •reach of. the school and we. have no expense for 'Itrucking.' W ho 'can amagine a Republic or a Tage truck on the road between here and Clarksville in tl^e w ipter time, and these neavy- trucks - are the only ones that the Board of Education considers it advisable' to buy.: In the districts where trucks are iio,W used we hear of children standing in the cold, rough Weather, or building a fire by the roadside to keep thetri warm while'w ailing for the trucks to come along aiid .pick them up. ■; W e consider: ihis better than no school advantages, • but where there are a sufficient num ber of children to make , a good school, " -o f citizens with ininate, as far as possibje, the inr ronvetience and expense of trucks. , W hen this petition, .for' cbhsoli- jation was presented to the Board oj County Conimissiohefs they beg ged that it m ight ^be postponed as they already had more calls, for money than they could m eet.. W e criticize our; officials for m aking taxes so high when, we are con stantly m aking demands, and some times, extravagant demands, for more money;- W e m ust remember that we do not have the manufgct uring interests to help pay the ta x es, in Davie' that they 'have ip many other couuties. The greater part of oUr taxes m ust come from real estate and we can not keep up with the,w ealthier counties w ith out . being • .overburdened. I t is thought that the next Legislature will 1 m ake. some changes in the school law and that a state-wide plan be adopted, by w hich the. stronger counties -may help the weaker ones in the establishment of better schools-! Frdm the eastern side of this district to the west side of Clarksville township is a distance of fifteen miles or m ore, and near ly that far from . the northern boundary of our district.; This is just too large a territory to. be cov ered by one school. . W.e should be covered by one school. ’ We’ should be establishing more .community centers instead Of breaking up some we now have. To remOve the school from this com m unity would be a blow to E aton's church, from which i t would take it a long time to recover. T he church and school have each worked together for the uplift..of thecbthUuimty and th e'Ioksof:one would cause the loss ■ o f-tb e ',other to suffer. To have one school here and one at Clarksville would- give that section one school and two churches and this; one church and one school,'w hich would serve the people of the tow nship m uch'better than just one school. ..

W atch our columns weekly to se6 who. is in the lead in this race. New houses are \joing up in every section of this town. It is suppos ed that these houses are being built for people to live in. W hat we want to-know isvw hat kind of work the people are going to do that Ijve in these houses. If we don’t secure some new mills or factories there . are going to be a bunch of bouses em pty in this town. People caff- .not move here, pay high rent and buy groceries w ithout a job of some kind.

TheCIarksviiIe ConsoUdated-Scbool Mr. Editor—One interested says there ,is bat -few criminal' cases from the Cana'section which we are glad to admit. Then should we sit idely by and even cast a vote to have the people in tbd western half of the township slide into enternal hades for the want of a better schor I and say Lord I thank: thee that I am not as that Samaritan There is more rejoicing in heaven ever the repetitence of one sinner than ninety and nine just persons. Any school teacher that will Sgrht such a forward movemennt for edu cation should be remembered when the day comes to salect teachers for better schools? W ehave no objec tion to Cana retaining a primary school if i<- will be the will of the Board of Education. It is not better elementary schools that we need for we have them, now. but it is higher grades that We need. How many fathers are there in Glarksville town ship who-are financially able to send their sons and daughters off to a boarding school at a cost o f-at least $25 OO per month for board and tuition. Some folks may- say that a high school would increase taxes too much but what would a few more dollars be towards board ,and tuition at. a boarding school for only one son or daughter. ■ \ , Let th'ose speak who have tried it. As for the cost of trucks the board of Education and; some others know what they would cost One interested says th«!y have ISO or 140 children in the Cana district, then why not sent enough to CJark;- ville to plant the seed of goo l mor als to. liftsus out of a bed of crime and dissipation.. The writer happens to be acquainted’in a- district where the school truck has been success fully operated about 3 years. 'They build small houses about 10x12 feet for the children to stop in.until the truck arrives.. . Higher grade schnols are coming and they arc; coming inj he same way that good roads- and- women suffer*1 age come about by public sentiment, and progress cannot be tied dowrfby a few person for'reasons of their own. No seventh grade school will ever lift the ideals of a boy or girl to a height that thpy will ever be proud of but they w ill, always remember their high school days with pride. ' VOTER.

If that o.curs two or three years in succession he has lost his'chjiiice for and-education. The-Stronger, better way is to sacrifice something of present com fort and expediency for the child’s future welfare. By his work this spring or next spring the boys may save to the family two or three dollars a day for a few weeks but he does it a very great loss to him self and probably to his people. ^H e is giving yp the time that should be used to deepen,- broaden, and re fine his life. Besides that, if he does not get proper schooling and enought of it now. he will not be able to earn as much as he ought when he becomes a man. T hen he too, will feel that his children must give up their chances for an educa tion aud spend their childhood days at some kind of labor. T hat may be the way, to bring the entire frmily to finer plane of life. MeroneylRodwell Wedding. A wedding of beauty and simplicity- was that of Miss Louise Rodwell and Mr. Thontas F.

SPORTiS FROCK WITH SHIRT BOSOM T HERE is something new In sports .frocks {his: spring—It Is, the' pretty and vivacious two-piece affair made of dependable fabrics,, and In a casual style, that. just, suits our up- to-date women. W hen' the wind. Is from the south* and the sun shines, out come these frocks for out-dooring. They are interpreted In several differ ent kinds of materials. Including some alluring novelties, with French flannel, alpaca, wash silks, wool crepe and the always-good pongee or linen, offering choices that cannot be .'anything but good. In many of these frocks a plain ma terial is used alone, or two colors, In the same goods, are used together, as' wh.en white Is used with green, brown, blue, or other color, In French flannel. "But more assertive patterns are well represented, In which plaids, stripes and cross-bars are cleverly used, very often In combination with plain goods. Designers are distinguishing them- milliners entrancing establishments— and joyfully departs therefrom light er of heart and of pocketbook. But If there Is one excuse In the world better than - all others for being a bit extravagant that excuse Is —a becoming hat. 'This spring is rich In wonderful millinery; there are In numerable variations of the- several style inspirations now established as the mode, and any representative col lection of neW hats is made up-, of shapes that adroitly flatter the d lfffer- ent types of'faces. There are hats that add dignity—or take It away— hats that add piquancy,, hdts teat make the commonplace look distin guished, hats that lend color;; bats that rescue one from tameness and bats that take off a decade or so from one’s age. It is marvelous what hats and hair dressing can do to and for us mortals. The group of five hats shown here Is made up of what may be classed as “EVERYTHING IS GOOD IN MILLINERY", selves In these Crocks that put their resourcefulness, to the test In combin ing utility .with -chic style and dura bility with daintiness. Yhe color com binations In plaids, or In the striped and barred materials, prove an incen tive to the introduction of matching accessories in ties, scarfs, pipings or buttons The shirt-bosom vest is a new style note, allowing the introduc tion of white or a color In the blouse that is eloquent of this particular spring. But sometimes the shirt bosom is merely hinted at, by means of braid or of tucks as In the frock pictured here. * Any of the fabrics mentioned might be used for this model which has a plain skirt and_a slip-over blouse that Is tied toward the backi This simple-seeming dress is. a masterpiece of good, designing—fur nishing a perfect, equipment for joy ous spring and‘Summer .days, 1 Hopefulljr the Processloni of worn- inklnd takes Its way to>ard the semi-dress models, which fashion has seen/fit to approve for wear with either tailored or afternoon dresa Even witli severely tailored, mannish' suits the mode is Indulgent as to the type of hat one may wear. The shops present plain, tailored hats, but-when these 'are less becoming than the trimmed variety, the -decision is for becomingness above all else. Women are not contenting themselves with a single' hat,-but find it ■ necessary to have a sports hat at leastdn addition to a trlmmeci model. The sports bats of this season are approved for street wear, unless they are too assertively Intended for sports wear. Something:of the variety^ In shapes and trimmings In* semi-dress hats may be gathered from the group .pic tured, but this is a. season when “everything is good” In millinery: and therefore there is a becoming hat for every face.

(Prepared by the DnIted States Department of Agriculture.)Practical poultry raisers and rami' era are relying upon the large hatch eries more and more each year as a source of supply for their new crop of chicks. In other words, each year sees fewer and fewer chicks hatched under hens, and the mammoth hatcheries are taking the place, to a certain extent, of the smaller incubators which are commonly operated on farms. It is be cause of the fact that the farmers are buying baby chicks from the large com mercial hatcheries that officials of the United States Department of Agricul ture feel the necessity of urging them to exercise great care In deciding upon where to buy this year’s supply of chicks. Important Question. The question of supreme Importance to a purchaser of baby chicks Is the source of supply of eggs for the hatch eries. Many of the hatcheries have their business well organized and are able to guarantee the quality of the chicks. Some of the hatcheries, how ever, are not so particular where they purchase the eggs they use and are not able to guarantee hlgb-quallty chicks. Especially where the chicks are to be used for layers and for developing the flock, the purchaser should lflslst upon a satisfactory statement* from the hatchery as to the quality of eggs used. Only pure-bred chicks should be pur chased. He should satisfy himself that the eggs were from a flock of good standard qual’ty with trap-nest records and that, the flock was In good, breeding condition. Purchase baby chicks with great care, says the de partment. Xt Is better to pay a few cents more for good quality chicks that can be guaranteed. Produce Strong Chicks. It requires healthy stock to produce fertile eggs and strong chicks. Observe which hens are the best lay ers and breed from them. No one kind of grain will give as good results as a variety. If you haven’t a grinder, get some fresh bone and chop It fine for the hens. It beats nothing all to pieces, but better buy a grinder, If possible. You can get a good one for $10. A good Incubator, properly managed,' often pays for Itself the first hatch. Better get yours now. The smaller and more crowded the house, the cleaner It must be kept Hidden Enemies in Seed Potatoes Shown on Filhi “Hidden Foes In Seed Potatoes,” a new one-reel motion picture Just re leased by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, takes the veil from some of the diseases tha.t lurk In seed potatoes and that do not man ifest their, presence until their harm has been done. The film was produced with the object of stressing the Importance of using seed potatoes free from degen eration diseases as a means of pre venting the large reductions of yield now charged to the use of diseased tubers. Symptoms of the more Im portant diseases are shown in close- ups. The subject matter is presented In connection with a conversation be tween two farmers, one of whom Is harvesting a fine crop. The other farmer has not been so fortunate, and It develops .that he followed all meas ures of disease prevention except one—the use of seed tubers from fields selected during the growing season for freedom from disease.. “Hidden Poes In Seed Potatoes” will be circulated through the. educa tional film service of the Department of Agriculture and the - co-operating state Institutions.' Copies may be bor rowed for short periods, the only cost being for transportation. Common Disk Is Useful 1 in Cleaning Up Alfalfa There are a number of special tools which have been devised for cleaning an alfalfa field of blue grass and other weeds. However, at the Iowa station at Ames they have found that the .,or dinary disk Is just about as good as anything. After the first catting, go on the field with a disk'and do a very thorough Job. Disk until the blue grass In the field has been thoroughly torn up and it looks as though the al falfa were ruined. If this Is done after every cutting the blue grass can be held In check for a time. After a few • years more, however, it probably will be advisable either to tarn this alfalfa field Into'a b\ue grass pasture or else put Into corn before seeding down to^ alfalfa again. Help Milk Yield by Using Better Stock Big Increase in Production in Delaware Commiuiity. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)An increase of over li800,000 gal lons In the annual milk production of New Castle county, Delaware, without Increasing the number of dairy cows owned, has followed five years’ dairy improvement work, In which the coun ty agent, progressive dairy farmers, and agricultural organizations co-op erated. This county is located near a large city, affording a good market for whole milk, and dairying is an impor tant farm Industry. When extension .work In dairying was begun in New Castle county, many farmers were In the habit 'of buying a medium type of grade cow without a guaranty of health. Following a. coun ty meeting of dairymen in 1913. four carloads of pure bred cows from herds under federal supervision for tubercu losis control were brought in and dis tributed as far as possible at the rate of one to a farm,*so that as many farmers -as possible might learn for themselves whether or not the Invest ment paid. The boys and girls on the farms became Interested, were organ ized into a club, and a pure bred calf secured by each member. New clubs have been organized each year follow ing, and exhibits of club members' stock are a feature of district shows and the statu fair. Club members have produced about one-fifth of the present holdings of pure bred stock In the county. Pure bred bulls and cows have been pur chased by many farmers, after the movement was. begun, on their own in itiative. There are ,now about 900 pure bred dairy cattle In the county, while In 1915 there were only 380. A carefully worked-out ration is fed. Over 4,000 dairy cattle -In the county, are under federal supervision for tu berculosis control. Four annual con signment sales of surplus stock have been held, the 1923 sale totaling over $7,000. Cautious Farmer Boosts Use of Pure Bred Sires ' Striking evidence that live stock im provement by the use of. pare bred sires Is one of the most conservative and safe methods Is related by an offi cial of the United States Department of Agriculture. A farmer Iil the Cen tral West applied to a county agent for enrollment In the “Better Sires— Better Stock" movement—which is conducted jointly by the United States Department of Agriculture and (he various statesr-but explained that It was against his policy “to sign' any thing.’’ The county agent reported the circumstances to the department and stated that the farmer in question was thoroughly progressive and was deeply interested In better methods of animal breeding, also that his verbal pledge to use pure bred sires could be! accepted as fully dependable as a written state ment. The department acted on. the county agent's written recommendations and issued a certificate of enrollment to the 'farme£ This unusual Instance is considered noteworthy as an .example of the modern trend In stock-raising methods. It shows how a fanner who is ultracautious In-business matters is staunchly behind the use of good blood in animal breeding,/ notwithstanding that pure bred live stock is sometimes regarded only as a diversion of the rich. On the contrary, an increasing quantity of evidence shows that the use of pure bred sires means greater utility value and la sound farming. Apply Wrong Piinciples to Feeding Work Horses There .is more money Invested in horses than. In any other class of live stock and yet less attention is given to feeding horses than to other farm ani mals. Many men will try to feed their cows and hogs a well-balanced ration and strive for more economical pro duction of beef, pork and milk, but never-stop; to think that- the same principles can and should be applied to feeding horses. Since 90 per cent of the farms are depending entirely upon horses for their farm power, It behooves every farmer to give the mat ter of feeding horses more careful study, for about 70 per cent of the cost of farm power In the form of horses Ues In the feed bill.

CARELESSNESS WILL CAUSE POOR HATCHES The careful gathering, selecting and holding of hatching , eggs are factors too often overlooked, asserts W. H. Allen, poultry specialist at the New Jersey College of Agriculture at New Brunswick. To prove his statement Mr. Alien points out that nearly 90 per cent of all eggs that are set In incu bators or under bens are fertile, and should hatch strong chicks, yet only RO to 60 per cent eyer do. . . . Eggs should' be collected three or four times a day, and froni clean nests. This prevents them from getting chilled, dirty and damp: Grade them for size, color and shape. A bird usually lays eggs of the type of the one from which it was hatched. Keep the eggs In a dry room with a tempera ture of 50 degrees F., and never hold them more than six days, before plac ing In, the incubator. .vEggs held 12 days will hatch IOito 15 per cent fewer chicks than eggs only a week old. Incubator rooms should not be cold. The ideal temperature is 70 degrees. When the temperature is lower than this the. hatch will be retarded and the chicks of poor quality. A chick hatched In twenty days is worth two hatched In twenty-two. - . , The Incubator" should be leveled to prevent uneven temperatures with in the machine, airthermometers tested for accuracy, and the machines disin fected. The manufacturer’s Instruc tions should be followed. Bun the In cubator three days before putting In the hatching eggs. Do not disturb them for two dajrs after they are set; after that turn them twice dally. No cooling is necessary daring incubation, especially during the months of Feb ruary, March-and April. The best temperature at which to run a machine' Is 103 degrees. Test out all infertile eggs on the sevenfli and fourteenth days. To prevent chicks from dying In the shell, It is often necessary to add moisture. This can be Judged by weighing the eggs plus the hatching tray on the first day and again on', the seventh. The eggs plus the . tray should noi weigh over 5 per cent less on the seventh day than on the first. Poultry Profits Depend , on Earliness of Hatch Profits In poultry raising depend to a large extent on the earliness In the season that chickens are hatched. The earlier in IUe a pullet commence! laying, the greater the number of eggs produced during the first'laying year.; Pullets should be In laying condition1 the first part of October, If good win ter egg production is to be expected. The more eggs laid during November,- December and January, the greater are the annual profits. In order to commence laying in Oc tober, pullets- of the Plymouth Bock, Rhode Island Bed, Wyandotte, and similar breeds should be hatched the latter part of March or the first part of April. Pullets of the Leghorn, Ancona, and similar breeds should be hatched the latter part of April or tha first pa_t of May. .' Mestinal Disinfectant for Control of Diseases A good intestinal disinfectant, such as bichloride of mercury, can be used In. the drinking water provided for the poultry flock, as S means of aiding In the control of. poultry -diseases. This, however, Is but a small part of the procedure in disease control and does not strike, at the real source of the trouble. One' of the first steps in keeping the poultry flock Wealthy is to dispose of, by killing ,and. burning, all birds af flicted with tuberculosis, fowl cholera and other slmttftr serious, diseases; A second step Is to-.see that the two main causes o f. disease, lack o f. sanitation and -a condition of ,towered vitality, are eliminated from the flock. .

Feleral Court Faces Problem. New Orleans. —' The immigration laws and an unborn child have pre sented to federal court here a problem without precedent,'which may result in a request for special legislation by congress.Joseph T. Stoma, a native of Syria but an American citizen, married some months ago. in Lake Charles, La., a Syrian girl who had been ordered deported because, of the exhaustion ot the Syrian immigrant quota. Thegirl temporarily was at Lake Charles um der bond pending decision on an ap peal- against the deportation - order when Bhis married. A few days ago the order was affirmed and the author ities took steps to send her . out .of the country.

Stoma filed his suit as “protector" of the unborn, child and in Mb. peti tion declared he had the right “to protect its interests and have it from the dangers Inicidneal to the enforced deportation of the mother.” Another unusual feature is that should litigation delay the deporta, tion of the woman until after the birth of the child the authorities will face the proposition of separating them, for the babe will be an American citizen and chn not be ,forced to leave Oie country.

The Hottentot had disappeared; they were alhne; he believed that within an hour heSvould have solved the mys tery and proved it nothing. Yet even then he was vaguely, con scious tbat something in his brain checked the impulses of his heart, warning him, counseling prudence, questioning even his love. The girl said nothing, and Winton did not break the silence. The miles were reeled off behind them; Winton did not know how long they traveled, but. it was not yet dawn , when the desert began to giye place to a range of broken hills. They ascended a defilh betwen two boulder-strewn elevations. Now- fhe character of the country had changed. ImperceptibIy thedesertfell away. There was green grass under foot, an occasional cactus raised Its spiny joints among the rocks, here and there were clusters of acacias. A man baboon barked at them from among the rocks, In challenge of their invasion of-his domain, hurled a stone at them, and fled scrambling Info his cave. Though no life was in evidence, there was: that Indefinite stirring around them that betokens’the prep arations for day. A breeze came up; then a line of amber appeared under the cloud banks In. the east. Dawn was at hand as they rode into the broken hills. Their horses climbed steep slopes, dislodging show ers of stones,, then began, to descend into a fertile valley. In the distance Winton. could see a cluster of beehive huts, the headquar ters ofc the native tribe. And still neither he nor Sheila had spoken. Th'e Hottentot who had set off afoot had arrived before them. He ap peared out of a cleft In the mountains and indicated to Winton that he was to dismount. WInton- and Sheila as cended a ‘ little slope afoot, toward the village. In the center was a Clearing, already occupied by a-number of natives. They were naked, except for their loin cloths, and carried long ■. throwing spears and white -ox-hide shields: As the two approached the chattering ceased.’ Winton perceived In the middle of them a very old woman, wearing the waist ' doth and a gaudily-colored blanket over her shoulders. The natives sprang to their feet as Sheila drew, near and uttered a deep- voiced salutation. She spoke a ,few words, and silently they filed away Into the huts. The old -woman, Winton, and Sheila were alone in front of a smoldering fire. The aged woman raised. her eyes, and fixed them on Winton’s face. Winton looked at her intently. She was not unprepossessing, and he couid- see now that, like most of her race, she had aged more quickly than the years of a white woman would have. warranted. Perhaps she was about sixty. Her skin was the color of a dark European's, sunburned rather than pig mented, and the features were regu lar; the eyes lacked the semioblique setting of the Hottentot’s. It was clear that she had a considerable, perhaps a preponderating proportion of Cau casian blood. Sheila turned: to Winton, and, : in spite of his' minimizing of her prom ised revelatfon. he felt- a chill at his heart at the sight, of her face. “This is my mother," she said, and, bending, kissed the bid woman, Winton stood perfectly ' still. The revelation had Stunned him.' As In a dream he looked Into the old creature’s wrinkled face, conscious of Sheila’s eyes fixed on-his own. A bird'broke into song; the tops of the mountains were silhouetted against the'red-of the sky; nothing seemed to stir,, and the bird* went on singing. Sheila beckoned to Winton, and he followed her to the summit of the ele vation. They were quite alone, look ing down on the ring of native huts, and the doll-like figure of the old queen of the tribe, who had not stirred. .Evi dently she had not understood'what Sheila had said. Sheila faced Winton calmly. “It is your . doing," she said quietly. “I wanted you to leave me.. Yes, I am the daughter of a white man and a half-breed native. woman. "Afterr' my father ran - away1 from .civilization, fearing capture by the po lice,- he made his way into UiCse ter ritories. So much De Witt told you. He wanted to tell you the rest. Per haps it would have been better if he had done so, but I could not have borne it then. I had been honored by you, as by none of the men In Malopo who know who I am. A natlve woman, one with the least speck of black blood In her,' is always a native In their eyes. Is It not so In your own-land?” ^ “Yes,” answered Winton. “U r father became a native chief. / COpyRIOHT Hf WOCftttMflN as many white men have done In South Africa. Dnllke them, he married only one wife. That woman became my mother. I was brought up In her kraal. My earliest recollections are of the tribesmen going out to war. I have seen captives slaughtered, and warriors’ stabbed through the body with spears, and barbarous, bloody sacrifices. That was In the days when the Ulterior of .Bechuanaland was an unknown land. Do you wonder that I could never feel at home among white people, though three-fourths of my. blood is white? “My father became chief of this tribe. The natives would not let him lead them In battle. They set, too high a value on his counsel. And he- governed them, wisely. There Is no man from one end of the country to the other who does not know ‘King’ 'Seaton. “When I, was six years old my fa ther thought that the danger o£, pur suit was over. He planned to take me away, so that I might be brought up among his people. He thought I would forget my birth. He thought that he would give me' what he considered to be my rightful heritage. He stole away by night, abandoning my mother. The tribe would not have let him go. : “But he found that it was not easy to sink his Identity. He changed his name; but In vain. Wherever he went natives, recognized him and told their masters. He had to flee constantly. Mr. De W ltt knew his secret. He “Mg father becaqie a natiue chief* wanted to make use of him In some dishonest work for which only my fa ther could help him. My father yield ed to his threats, and thereafter De Witt hounded him. “At last my father went back to his tribe, to find- that'my mother had suc ceeded to the leadership. He was al ready an outcast among the whites-; now he became an outcast among the blacks also. The tribe respected him, hut they feared him, they thought he was a government agent; they never trusted him. He had become the lone liest man In the whole world. “And as for 'me, the memory of thope early years was stamped indeli bly upon my mind. I looked at men and things from the native’s point of view.; I, too, was known, as one of na tive blood. ■ People pitied me, derided me, but none, held out a helping hand, and never, until you. honored me In the coach had any ’ man recognized that I might have’the instincts of the white woman—some of them. Per haps, if you had known you would have felt the same as they did.” • “No, vSheila,” ‘answered Winton. “I wanted you not to know. Has It ever occurred to you that a simple word from a .stranger may change the entire course of our lives? You helped me when I had come to. despair. Your kindness meant more to me than you can possibly recognize. Por I will’ speak plainly to you now that at last you understand the fatuity of your •course. “When Mr. De Witt became infatu ated with me I knew that he had a wife downcountry whom he had abandoned. And he’ knew that I knew It He did not deceive me. It had never entered his mind that I could expect him to marry a woman with native blood. He had sworn to me that If I went away with him his persecution of my father should: stop: There was nothing in his conduct toward me that might not have been done by any man In Malopo.: No blame would have attached itself to him In-Malopo’s eyes.-... “I told him that I was willing to sacrifice myself for my father’s sake. Why not? I am a native, woman; whV should I obey the law of the whites when I am a thing shunned and despised?” “Sheila!” cried Winton hoarsely “Yes, despised,” she repeated, fline- Ing out the words defiantly “As vrin despise me now.” ' ■ ‘ “You arc wronc She’a i„ u , suffered, not th j , (Ca; tempt, but because the world Is thoughtless.che laughed contemptuously* “Never mind the world/’, .she an- swered. "Listen to one thing. Mid be proud of it if you care to be. I met you, when life seemed hopeless, I had resolved to yield to De !V? save my father’s life, which Is In his power ' You saved me. I was going with him that night, butJ 1^owt there was murder In my heart. Y was going to kill him. You showed me foe better way; taught me to honor iWseH even at the cost of my fathers life Ii need be.” - - • ' • v• .."Sheila; I honor you for what you have told me,” said Winton. ‘I under stand what y o u , have ! suffered. I do. not pity you., I admire your eourage, “Yes?” she answered, with an ironic inflection in her voice. “Perhaps Jqu will tell me that you still love me? "I love you, Sheila, as I have done from the first!" he cried. .“And would still ask me to he your wife?” she persisted relentlessly. Winton was silent. He knew now that the inexorable law of .the race is "founded, not o n prejudice, but upon some interior prompting that may be called divine. In spite of the spell that the girl exercised over him he shrank front the idea. And the thought of his" own ostracism that must follow had the least part in'his abhorrence. Sheila laughed, and Winton cried oUt, stung to the quick: “I am ready to marry you, Sheila. And I will take you away from Malopo; I will take you to America, where hone will ever guess at the truth.” “You propose too high an honor for me,” answered the girl Ironically.; But then, her bitter mood softened by the 'vehemence of his words, she went to him and put her hands on his shoul ders with the old gesture. Her face was very tender. “No, my dear,” she answered. -tI have made you suffer in my outraged pride; I have brought sorrow upon you In return for the kindness you have shown me. But I would never do you this wrong.” “Sheila,'it Is no wrong!” “The race bar—” “Means nothing. Youhavelnherited none of the qualities of—of your mother.” “Are we responsible only to our selves then?” asked the girl, seeming to shrink for the first time under her ordeal. “Or are we, each one of us, custodians of the face? You1Sat least, have your duty "to the generation that is to follow yours. • “In the years to come you will thank me, if you cannot now.- Good-by; and believe that, if my heart were not warped and twisted, it would be yours, though I could never be.” . Of a sudden the sun’s -rim burst above the valley, turning it into a glow of gold. The lengthy shadows of the mountains swept it from end to end. In the huts beneath them there was a stirring. . Women, their straight bodies as graceful as Greek statues; carrying water pitchers made from wild gourds upon their heads In classIc guise, began to walk In single file along the path down to the spring. Winton saw fl group of warriors standing, and looking up-at them. “I have One more word -to say,” Shelia added. “The tribesmen are dis satisfied about their lands, as you must know; There have been rumors of a rebellion. They are well founded. The meeting last night was to discuss the chances of an uprising. I know no more. But warn Malopo. This is the last' service' that I can do for those who are no longer my people.” She turned and began to descend the slope. Winton stood watching her un til she had mingled with the throng .of savages below. Then only did he seem to wake from the dream that had taken possession of him since the moment of their encounter In the desert He shuddered and, sick and broken, tore himself with almost a physical effort and set his face toward the desert Only that obscure race duty which is never awakened In the vast majority bf men Preventedtim from obeying his impuls.e to follow her into the native village and do What Seaton had done. In spite of Sheila’s vehemence Wlntbn believed that he could overcome hei\ scruples. He felt that she loved him, or rather, that there was, beneath her moods, beneath her hardness, a.spring of love, loyal and inexhaustible.' . Presently Winton perceived, the Hot-' tentot whom he had encountered In the. desert. The man came up to him and lhdlcatecb by signs that It was' his mission to guide him out of the moun tains. . . : • v ... Winton followed him, not. along the route by which they had come, but .along a defile In the hills, which, led, apparently, In the opposite .direction, though, after many, twistings, it finally ‘turned-southward. The desert appeared again. Winfon could see the vast, dead waste, which Was so appropriate to his heart, ex tended, flat.-- and - like a. frozen sea, toward the horizon. An indeterminate green line showed where the- fertile valley ended. A ridge of cactus trees; which stood out. upon the-very, verge of the sand, formed a sort of palisade. The land was ablaze with sunlight. Winton stopped at the edge of the desert , and -looked back, . The moun tains, concealing Sheila, holding her against him securely, had drawn to gether. Nothing living seemed to stir among those-clefts and peaks. Yet, as Wlnton’s eyes^wandered up- ward they fixed themselves upon ohe living thing, on the very summit of the highest, peak of . all, . which . overhung the plain. It was the nude form of a black sentinel, armed with spear and rfv-hfde targe.- - ' ■ WIIh the superb gesture • of a die-.: It seemed to hang polsed rm om eat In the void, and plunged downward, bur£ Ing itself to the middle of ,the shaft In the sand at Winton’* feet ‘CHAPTER X ^ The Judgr Wins the Race. • Ahorse was-tied.to a cactus tree In -a small dry gully that ran along the edgSsof the desert. The native held the stirrup for Winton, who climbed painfully into1 the saddle; and they set off together, ' . . ■ , - The sun rose higher* sending Gown its scorching r a y s upon the sand, from which foe reflected heat-waves beat upward, swathing the'rider as if In a steaming shroud. Winton could hard ly keep his seat He felt dizzy and weak from the plow, from the long night ride, and from the shock of, Sheila’s revelation. They Had traveled.perhaps a.third of the distance, to Malopo When be reined In his horse and slid from the saddle Into the sand. He could go no further. And he lay down, staring up at the sky without any especial in terest In anything. „ He watched the Hottentot turn and come back toward him. The man’s clicking interrogations had no mean ing for him. The Hottentot drew off a few paces: and seemed to ,be medi tating. : Then he kneeled^ down .beside Win ton and went through his pockets. 'H e took his watch and purse, opened the latter, found several sovereigns In it, and transferred them to his own pocket. He stood over Winton swing ing his knobkerrie meditatively. Winton - watched him,- still without the least interest in what be was going to do. The. native was evidently pon dering whether to bring foe knob of the heavy stick down upop his skull, and end -his life, or to leave him to die in the desert. Presently prudence conquered. With a succession of grunts and 'clicks he mounted the horse, thrust his feet far Into the stirrups, and set out acMOS the desert Winton, lying on the sand, watched him until he was swallowed up In the dancing heat-waves. Cnce he reap peared, a gigantic figure, outlined In mirage upon the sky above foe hori zon. Then he vanished, and in place of him - appeared the' corrugated iron roofs of a town.;. Winton struggled into a sitting pos ture. Surely . that was- Malopo, and surely it was very near. He saw .foe busy-market square; and the : great white-capped ox-wagons, drawn by their spans of long horns, moving through the dust- whirls. •; . He must reach Malopo. It could not be many miles 7 away. A nd. the awful thirst that w as consuming him brought him to his feet and sent him staggering toward the pictured town. He stumbled through - foe dust, his eyes taking In foe scene avidly,. He was Searching for foe location of foe Contfoental across the . busy7 square. All his material aims had', dwindled to a pitcher -of cold water and a dark place In which to sleep. Suddenly he stopped In consterna tion. Across the Scene be saw a train moving. Puifs of w hitesm okecam e from ;the engine. The train stopped, the engine, detached, went on alone; puffing into the void, and disappeared, Then Winton recognized this vision. It was not Malopo, but Taungs. . And xeven as he looked it vanished and the scorched - desert lay before him. And far away, against foe hori zon, he saw the'tiny speck that was the Hottentot on his horse, riding, away. Winton looked wildly ’ about him. Far away were_.foe outlines of foe hills that sheltered Sheila. A des; perate -longing came over him' to re turn, seek her, gain her, and . dwell there an outlaw, -as Seaton had done. He turned; - . Then; far across foe sands, there sprang suddenly into view a lake, set among green, pastures, Wlfo trees about’it,’and a farmhouse. A cool breath from the water, seemed to reach him . across the desert EIe began to stagger toward this new vision, with his arms-outstretched. Although his brain told 'him that this, too;: was a mirage, he could not but follow the lure. And, believing against belief that he might actually be riearing it, he fought his way: onward, - as If foe desert were a physical • enemy to be overcome, stumbling: and falling, and rising- again. His tongue clove to foe roof of his inoiith, and foe blood in his; veins seemed fo have turned to vitriol. He was/down/ Sgflin7 and could, not rise.

ThereiIS no one thing more im portant to the continued.prosper- ity-of thecountry .than the continu ation of the protective tariff in force as the law .of th e land.. It is almost, as im portant that there be the; as surance that protection is to be con tinued. Already business is slackening be cause little- attention is -being 'paid by the powers^that be to the ques tion of the tariff A w riter Jrom Boston, says that the m arket in wool is dull because of the uncer tainly about the continuation of the tariff He says that- if the Demo cratic party should succed the pre sent adm inistration in power, it;ia a foregone conclusion th at' the tariff on wool will soon be dont j*way with. It is all very well for the congress to consider-the plight of the farm ers and to seek some way of affording them relief, but the most of the pre positions before Congress are vision-, ary schemes which would invblve the governm ent in all .sorts of difficul ties if adopted, and would eventually prove-ruinous, instead of beneficial to the farm ers. Edch and everv' agricultural bill now-before congress will not be worth the paper upon which it is w ritten if the result of; the coming election shall be the re pealed. every otheragricultU ral pro duct will follow- in its, footsteps,' ju st as was the case Tinder the tariff act demanded th at i t be wiped off . the Statute BfeRi"^ -' - We tru st'th at the party in power will not prove t i be like the .cow that gave a good pail of milk—and then kicked it over. We have on the statute books the best tariff act ever-passed and it can be continued in force and -improved, if protec tictionists all over the county, forget all comparatively trival m atters and sej that the protective tariff gets the fieceisary support. If tne.-farmera of the country want thefr interests looked after, there is only one party to whom: they can turn, and that.is the party of pro tection.

I New York.—Current easiness of money rates, reflected' In increased' strength and activity in the bond mar ket,' last week accelerated a search for new issues. Signs multiplied that a-substantial ..volume of new financing would be brought into the market be fore the arrival Of the vacation period could dull the edge of investment de-- mand. Prospects for an increase in,-offer ings were improved by a succession of favorable developments, foremost of which was the steady progress made in putting the Diwes plan into per- atitfn. With J. p. Morgan conferring with representatives of the allied gov ernments 'On the terms of the $£00,000,- 009 Germany^ loan, it Was indicated that this inteniational financial opera tion might be undertaken sooner than had been expected. Assurances of the widespread bank ing support it will receive were-seen In the establishment by an American banking corporation of a 15,000,000 loan for Dr. Hjalinair Schact’s gold rediscount bank. The initial advance, which may be 'extended a acquire ments demand, marks the first parti cipation of American capital in Ger many's rehabilitation ,and provides Germany with credit facilities: until .,the financial provisions of the D aw es plan can be put into operation. An abundance of money, available at low rates, and indications that the federal reserve rediscount rates, would be lowered, were additional reasons advanced for the expected resumption of large, scale financing. Internal Taxes Increase/' W ashington--The federal govern ment collected $2,146,803,265 in inter- nal ,taxes in the first three quarters ot. the present fiscal year, an..increase of $226,709,192 over the nine months end ing March 15 last yfear. Of the total collections, $1,408,039,- 742 were in income and profits taxes, the receipts from this source running slightly ahead of treasury calculations and substantially larger than for the corresponding period a year ago. Tobacco taxes again niade up al most one-third of the whole miscellan eous collections, with 'receipts of $241,702,868, or about three million dollars more than was collected from, this source in the., corresponding per iod a 'year ago. Collections under the prohibition laws were $434,703, a re duction of more than $12,000 from the nine months ending March 15, 1923. The treasury made public final fig ures on the collections, and gave the payments, of all Internal federal taxes by states for the nin'e months ending March 15, 1924, and March 15, 1923. .'* House Passes Child Labor Amendment Washington--1Overcoming a ' sus tained and resourceful parliamentary 'opposition, supporters of the proposed Child Labor.-J Constitutional Amend ment put it through the House by. a vote of 297 to 69. ' , Scores of attemptp to limit its scope by various exemptions and re strictions were rejected by backers of the bill.■ 'As adopted amendment empowers Congress to limit, regulate or - forbid the labor of persons under. 18 years of age. it now‘goes to the Senate, where its .fate in uncertain. The amendment, is made necessary, according to its advocates, by the de cision of the TJnited States Supreme Court holding the Federal Child.Labor Laws unconstitutional. While the bill was in the committee the whole'House1, the age limit was re-' duced to 16 years by a vote of 148 to 136, but a later record vote of 198 to 169 in the House restored the 18- year limit originally proposed. . If the amendment gets through Con gress, theaffiram tive ' action of 38 States will be required before the pros hibitive legislation cbuld;be enacted. .

And amendment designed to break up an alleged, boycott in packing., cen ters against cooperative market agen cies was voted into the bill by' the house.v • The proposal made by Representa tive Rubey (Democrat) of Missouri would cut in half the $450,000 sug gested for enforcement of the pack ers and stockyards .act and authorize the secretary of agriculture'to make, up the difference by levies on com mission houses.

The measure , now. goes to the President. ' ’ Another bill passed by the house would authorize the census bureau to take census to determine the. amount of cotton in Warehouses and other places, and' to make an estimate of the number of bales bn farms. The meas ure, which was introduced by Repres entative Byrnes, democrat,xSouth Car- olian, now goes to the senate. Under the: senate bill approved by the house, acreage reports based upon the intention of1 cotton .-groisgrs. to plant would be discontinued. The re ports of the department of agriculture as to conditions,.progress, and probable production of cotton would be issued twice-a month, betWeen July i and December I. Between August. I and December l, the crop and ginning re ports.-would be made public ’at the same time. . ( .

T . -CHAPTER X—Continued. — -13— — It seemed centuries' later .when he opened his, eyes, to discover himself In his own room in the .cottage upon the claim. He thought he'was dreaming: and when at last he convinced himself of the reality of the four walls he im agined tiiat he had dreamed every thing, from the assault to. Sheila. Then the honest face of Sam ap peared before him. like a dusky hrilf- iDcon; and Winton had never seen Sam with so much pleasure In his life before. , ■“What’s happened?” he asked. "It’s ail right—It’s all right, Mr. Garrett,” said Sam, putting a cup of - water to his lips. Wlnton drank gratefully and, too weak to make in quiries, went to sleep again. Later in the day he awoke, feeling more like himself. Satn was still rat his -bedside, in exactly the same posi tion that he Iiad occupied before. "Sam, tell me what’s happened,” said Winton in perplexity. "Did I dream about the burglary?” R- "No, Indeed, Mr. Garrett. But that’s all over and done with. If you’ll go to sleep, sir—” “Did I ride out into the desert?” "Well—yes. Mr. Garrett. But you’re- back home now, and that’s all— "Tell me how I got here at oncri, Sam.” "Well, Mr. Garrett.” said Sara re luctantly, “I happened to find you in the desert—” "How far out?” "About ten miles, sir. Ton. were lost and you’d fainted, and your head was cracked open. Tou wanted to fight me, sir. I had quite a IittIfflIfflP culty getting you home, sir. Arfd you fell off the horse twice. You gave me this, Mr. Garrett.” he continued, point ing to one optic, 'which ^Wiriton no ticed was discolored. “But thut’s all over and—” * “When,-Sam?” “Two days ago,’. Mr. Wlnton. You see, your head had been cracked open, and you weren’t altogether responsi-" hie. I don’t think I’d have got you home, Mr. Garrett, if you hadn't sud denly collapsed. The doctor was quite doubtful until, this morning.” "Sam,” said Winton humbly, "may I shake hands with you?” Sam’s black hand went out and met Winton's white one. After that Win- toii lay very still, thinking of Sheila. It was not until the following .day that he learned what had happeried. The police had discovered from the evidence of natives in the adjoining compound that Kash hadbeen engaged for weeks in the excavation of the tunnel. The-expectation at the start seemed to have been , that Wlnton would make his headquarters in Ma- lopo. His presence on the claim proved disconcerting; and since mur der would have meant the certainty of vlttmate arrest, and the preseribeu penalty, Van Vo.rst-had resorted to the chloroform outrage to avoid the com-, mission pf a capital crime. -However, Burns had heard the. men In the cottage,, and had exchanged shots with Kaah, killing the Armen ian, but suffering a serious head in jury from a blow by Van Vorlt’s re volver butt. If was believed that a- piece of bone was pressing oh the speech center, for, though fully con scious and considered out of danger, Ne'd could only utter meaningless sounds, and was consequently unable to describe what had occurred. ' They had tried to get his evidence In writing, but the marks that he made upon th'e paper were meaning less. An Inquest had been held promptly. Burns had been exonerated,' and. a ver dict of justifiable homicide returned.' Winton’s evidence was taken at his bedside for the Information of the BechuunaIand police, who hoped to round up the’fugitive. ' . Van Vorst’s action was th e , most inexplicable part of the affair. The general opinion In Malopo was that the man. known for years as-the most crafty and cautious -purchaser o f stolen stones in the country, had sud- - "denly developed, a streak of vldous- - ness and' adventure. There had been talk of sending a body of police into the native territories In pursuit of him, but1 ultimately it was decided to telegraph {ill the border posts to'watch for him, Through one of these Van Vorst must eventually pass .on - his. ' way back to civilization; lWhat *. surprised Malopo most, per haps, was Hie fact that Van Vqrst had gone to such pains In order to secure a Singlei stone of no-extraordinary value —at least,, not of enough to. make its possession worth outlawry. - Wlnton puzzled over this .for some time until Sheila’s explanation.^suddenly came back into his memoEyni", o: .

Wintori demanded. “I- have introduced a few cliangeB.ln management, sir, based upon the theory that the Bantu is essentially a human. I am Endeavoring to introduce the idea of social co-operation among our la borers." . ,I “All right,” groaned Wlnton, feeling that' remonstrance was hopeless. 1Potft go too strong, though, and watch the devils carefully for stolen stones." ‘That, Mr. Garrett, Is where my plan enters.” -replied Sam with dignity, “It is my belief, sir, that the so-called primal Instincts of the Bantu, race, which Is erroneously supposed to~dis- regard the distinction, In its. finer shades, between meum-and tnum. are as mythical as the legend which falsely ascribes to it an abnormal taste for the gallinaceous avian of the edible do mesticated species.” W ell. Sam?” -'"And so, siK I- believe that by treat ing the Bantu as a man and a brother, he can be aroused to ethical idealism.” “Well, we’ll see,” answered Winton. "For Heaven’s sake go slow, and above all don’t let them lbave the compound without ,the most careful searching.” When at last Winton. was 'able to leave the cottage,' he went at once to the compound, to ,discover that dis cipline ',was practically In abeyance. The negroes stared at him-'Insolently as they dawdled over, tbelr tasks. Win ton could not reprove Sam very sharply in view of his obligations to him. He did,-however, put him back In his old position as night "watchman. Sam was almost tearful,, asserting that his plan was just on the verge of success, and Winton, to comfort him, left the sphere of his duties a little un defined, a situation of which Sam was to take the fullest advantage. . - • Winton realized that to put a negro in charge of negroes was a hopeless proposition. The' natives—would not obey one of their own color. He en- After that HJirton ; Iaq oenj still. Ihink- mg of Sheila gaged a new compound manager to take Seaton’s place, aTittle man named Josephs, tough and. wiry,’who had been favorably”! recommended tp Klm some time .before, and was known to be effi cient and honest. Josephs was one of those little men who are inspired with volcanic energy and passions. - (Like the late Barney Barnato, of South African fame, he WdPa great fighter.„ Winton watched him tackle the biggest Bechuana of the gang and put him to'sleep., In the first round, and felt that- Sam’s work bade fair to be undone. He went away sat isfied that his affairs were in . good hands. The news of the vyashfng was most discpuragirig. The water' supply "was consistently meager, and nothing had been found In the small amount of rock that had beep pulverized except a few tiny stones, of practically no value for jewelers’ purposes. Malopo iio longer believed - In the claim, 'the., rush had stopped, and there was a considerable exodus In the coaches that left for Taungs. . !' \ . And yet Winton was positive that the claim was a bonanza,"and that the syndicate; knew it. He began to look about him for a loanl He soon discovered that it was im possible to raise capital in Malopo'.in. the face of the syndicate’s opposition.' Besides, the, value of the,Big MaIopo claim -was consistently decried. In tlie reaction following the extravagant faith, that had been placed In it’, men used the name of the. property as rSI1 syriqnym for anything worthless. Even the’ kaffirs qalied each other Malopo as a term .of scorn.

T “Well, Ned, how. are you feeling?” InquiredvWintont-Sitting -down by-the bedsldg. < Burns understood perfectly, but the flood of meaningless syllables ’ that poured from his throat conveyed no. sense whatever; It was evident that Burns was desperately anxious to .tell something, and that-he felt his position keenly.- Winton . saw, too, that the old man was/ not quite certain whether his re marks conveyed guy; meaning or not, and he looked at him, so hopefully when tie had finished spehking that Winton .could hardly bear to let him realize the truth. But Bums -did realize It, and two tears trickled down his cheeks upon the open book. Winton .produced a sheet of paper and a pencil, and-handed them to Ned, who, resting the Bible on his knee, be gan to scribble with this,as a backing, ■for the sheet. He handed the result to Winton, but hopelessly, for he could read that he had written nonsense. Il consisted of a number of words and syllables, struAg together, but without the small est intelligent significance. Suddenly Ned snatched away the paper and-tore It into pieces, and flung, himself back- moodily upon his pillow. Tlie-doctor, a-young graduate from. Edinburgh, had seen the lncideht. He drew'winton away. v "His mind’s clear,” said Wlntom ; “As clear as yOurs or mine.” “And he.umderstands ivb.at-is said to Mm.” j / '' “Every word.” v “Whatls the.trouble then?” “The speech and writing centers in the brain are affected,” answered the doctor. “We have them marked out very accurately, you know, ^ expected this before Bums recovered conscious ness, as soon .as I saw the locatiori pf the wound.” . ’ ' - “Bone pressing on them?” ■ “No. If there were I should have operated. .

Selection Is the keynote, for. success in any breeding enterprise.” One' essential, for ,successful breed- irig is to have at least two pens, one foFthe breeders arid the other for .the layers. Both males and females should be carefully selected Vrid orily the best used for !breeding- The practice of using pullets In' the-breeding pen was condemned, While, breeding froin birds molting late in September, October and November is recommeiided. Late molting birds have proved-to be the best birds for breeding high egg production. A bird, In order to. be a high producer Or a breeder for high production' should be full of energy, have plenty of capacity, have a deep /body, and long and wlde /backi "Males and females should be kept as long'as they breed and produce well. . The desirable way of ■ introducing new blood is by buying eggs' or pullets. The inheritance of high egg'produc tion is transmitted through the male, and only high producing hens'should be used.. - . . When birds are not too closely re lated and are carefully selected, Well housed and given a well-balanced feed, the improvement of docks for egg production will take, place. Eggs for H atehing'M u|t * Be' G athered Chrefiilly At the time an egg is laid, the germ is smaller than the eye can see rind is located within a ring. visible on the* surface of^the yolk. It is very deli cate and improper handling of the egg before lttls set'may kill this germ. Eggs' to be set should' be .gathered several times dally to prevent chilling or “starfing” by a broody hen. The nests should be kept1 clean, a wire mesh bottom nest which lets the . dirt out being best The eggs should not be washed, as this opens the. pores and allows the egg to evaporate. Scrape •the .dlrtiOff grid do not set-those-whiehi are very dirty. -, Keep them at a temperature of from 50 to 60. At 68 they/will start to hatch, and If not'put-under-a hen at once will probably dim Do not put them In dusty material or where dust can gather on them, as this will cl ode up the pores and smother the chick later.

The thermometer Is hung at the edge of the hover a(t the level of the chicks' back. Chicks are placed about the hover at about 5 p. m. and the room darkened. The space about the hover is increased from day to day depending on the temperature of the room, the roofing having been left long enough for this purpose. The corners of the room are always kept rounded. Training Roosts Used. At the end of a week or ten days, training roosts are used. A frame four feet wide is fitted around three sides of the house, so as to touch the floor near the stove; and Is hinged to the wall about a foot from the floor. This frame is first covered with one inch mesh and then lath are tacked parallel on it three inches apart. When practically all of the chicks have taken-to 'these roosts the hover is raised and the room' kept at 75 degrees. The roosts are raised and hooked to the wall during the day. At four or five weeks they , may be lev eled by nailing a twelve inch board under the front edge.—0. C. Krum, Poultry Specialist, Colorado Agricul tural College.' Make Building Mistakes on Paper Is Best Plan Nine tiines out of ten a bouse or barn will please.-.and serve better if yOu build It oh" paper first. And now, while your evenings, are better fitted to building on ^aper than o n ' the' ground, plans for that new barn or shed, or for remodeling the house, can go on apnce. Wood, brick, tlie and concrete are not very plastic, and mistakes In plae- Ing them are harder to change than when the . same mistakes are made on paper. Often, say. farm engineers, In buildings not well laid out on paper, the chimney has a. queer way of com ing up. in the middle .of a bedroom. Or the stairway may turn out to tje neacjy as steep, as a ladder. Again, kitchen windows may happen so near the floor that It will be Impossible to put' a, table or sink underneath them. These things can be avoided by build/ Ing on paper first. .. Too frequently a man who has built with hammer, nails,'and saw. without bothering to build first on paper wilt remark: : "If I .could .do this over again,'I’d change this window, that stairway,” and so bn. Avoid mistakes by building on paper first, finding the errors and correcting the plans before changes begin, to cost money. Increase Shown in Farm Wages During L^ast ,Year Average farm wages in the 'United States last year were $33:18 a month, with board, compared i with $29.17 In 1922, the United States Department of Agriculture reports. Increases were shown In all geographic groups of states, wltlv largest increases in the Kortli Allanfic and East North Cen tral states.' and the smallest Increase In the South Atlantic states.1 ■ The rate per month with board In the North Atlantic group rose from S/17.14 In 1922 to $43.42 In 1923; In the East North .Central group from $3355' to $39.41; and In the Western states. Including the Mountain and Pacific coast regions, from $4ii.fi71Qj$51.25. The; rate In- the West-North Central states increased from -§33.63 to $37.54; In the South Atlantic states froth $22.12 to '$24,93; and In the South Cen tral. group, frpra' $22.23 to; $24.13. The increases are attributed to in dustrial /competition for labor, which w h s most pronounced In the northern -states as reflected In the larger ad vances.

Veterinary experts of the United States Department of Agriculture, de nounce this practice as barbarous and worthless. They say that such treat ment can do no possible good. On ,the other band, it Is liable to do harm. Thie penetration of the hide of cattie: with wires, may result In Infection as fatal as the - disease it is meant to prevent or cure.. ' This inhumane treatment also causes damage to packing house equipment. The wires" are difficult to detach and some are left in.: the ' hides after slaughter. When such a hide goes through the scraping machines the' knives' are nicked by the wire, .and this leaves ridges on the hide. Other machine damages are caused by these wires and packers are quite, concerned about the continuance of the Ineffec tive, brutal wire treatment. Thesure and proper -method of preventing blackleg is by vaccination. Full In formation on -the prevention of black leg may be obtained free on applicar tion to the bureau of animal indus try, United States'. Department of Ag riculture. Washington, D.
