REPUBLICANS NOT TO BE BLAM- ED FOR DELAY C,nnot Carry Out Constructive Program ill Congress On Account Coalition of Democrats and Radicals. |{y !■: Kvat ti NeisonDingley . Analysis of the political and eco nomic situation in congrgress shows clearly that the Republicans and the adininistralion are not responsible ‘for the apparent inability to carry „ut a rational and sensible program economy in expenditures and imi iUim revenue under the tariff and •uni direct tax system. Tiiraugh the efforts of a few rad- Jc3Ij in both houses of congress: iM’arlv all of whom w ere elected ’as feliahlicaiis, have throw n th e con trol of the senate and house into the Imr.us of a Democratic-radical fusion group. The Democrats and some of the nuiicais opposed the For^ney-Mc- Cjmber tariff, a revenue m easure priiluciiig last year about half billion J0Iiars in revenue—more than ary ]),-{-vi'.-us tariff in the same period. The Democrats and some of the radicals opposed a tax program that would have resulted in greater reve nue from large incomes and a t the same time a reduction in taxes on jmailcr incomes. The Democratsic - radical - fusion group is playing politics by arous ing tiie prejudice of certain classes and making them believe th at a Ihan "soak the rich” progrom is a wise and good program for the country at large. The tax bill forced through both IiDUies of congress may pro Jure a deficit of $150,000,000. Re publicans voting for the Dem ocratic, rauicai measure did so largely be cause they feared no tax reduction bill would be passed at all. The bill receive the support of 29 Republi cans and aS Democrats,. .Fiflteen Re-.: publicans opposed it; no Democratic vole.I ‘‘no.” Examination shows th at a combi nation of Democrats and radicals, a minority group' on the whole, is pres sing for passage various bills th at will take some $1,000,000,000 out of the treasury, in excess nf- the a. Riuut recommended by the budged bureau and the President. The bonus bill will take $35 ,000.- Q.h; the re-classification bill. $10,- 1)00,000; proposed increased for pos- t .l clerks, $05,000,000; deficiency bill 510,000,900; reorganization of the veterans’ bureau, $32,000; the pro- pwd McNary-Haugen agricultural bid, $200,000 000. the proposed feder. al public building bill, $10,000,000 a, year for five years. In his recent New York City ad- Jrc-s, President Coolidge said: ■The success of the government Jocs not lie in wringing all the reve nue it can from the people, but in making thei. burdens as light and fairly distributed as possible, con- SBient with the proper maintenance ,lp dhe necessary public, fuhciicns Ihe government itself, in order to !successful, and all those connec ted with it, must put all of their energy upon what they can do. for t'm people, not upon what they can Bet out of them .” ^ this is what the President calls another phase of lingering extra vagance from which the country has llOtfuIly recovered.” Neither the Republicans in con- Rtosi nor the President are respon s e for this attempted raid on the iersury, and fail to support tariff and tax measures calculated to bring jn tne maxium revenue with the east possible burden on the masses °fthe people.

Judge H icks, of the U uited States district court, delivered au address 111 C hattanooga last week upon w hich the Tim es of th at city comments. T he judge is quotedas saying in part: “ T he safety of the nation and of the individual de pends very largely upon the faith' every man has in his.neighbor ..and in his disposition to keep th at faith and to behave in accordance -with the law .” T h at Judge H icks means what he said-is seen in his strict and im partial enforcem ent .of the law. As has been often said in these colum ns, and is here repeated, we have too m any laws, there are so m any m aking of the laws who seem to believe th at b ad . men may be m ade good by statute, It m ay be the way to m ake ineu appear good on the outside while ou the inside they are the opposite. T oo many men are clothed w ith power to pro pose and to make, the laws w ithout considering the effect. Is not the advice given" by the Chattanooga Tim es in these-words good advice: Teach the legislators that : statute law is, or shall be, sim ply the expression of a well-considered public seati- . m ent; th at it m ust conform to the m oral sense of the com m unity upon which it is -to operate, and that when it . runs counter to th at send- _ jn e u t it becomes, instead of beneficial, thoroughly and alarm ingly-dangerous. ‘In the m aking men good men, is it not a fact th at an outice of per suasion, in the long run is better th'an-a- pound ’ of - cure, In -other, w ords'in respect to the most of usi, if gospel fails to save 11s then the laws will have an uphill and rocky road in the business of salvation. O r as Evangelist Brown m ight have put it, those in the pew m ust not depend entirely upon the pulpit for their supply of the religion that respects divine as well as huniuu laws. M an-made law s m ay be compos ed of “ thou shalt nots,” the laws of divinity are made up largely of ththou slialts.” T he laws of the one are those of command, those of the other are gentle' appeals, de-: livered in tones of -persuasion."Are those not som ething w orthy of calm hum an thought?—Journal and T ri bune. Populating the Devil’s W orkshop W e favor the child labor regula tion, but it seems th at Congress is overdoing the thing. T o force parents to keep children under 18 years of age but of em ploym ent, is rather hard, and while it m akes little difference w ith the farm ers, y e t it brings up a broblem in the tow ns which is a serious one. A boy from 12 to 18 who is idle is a far more dangerous status than the one w ho’w orks in a factory, store or shop. T he question is w hat shall we do w ith our boys to keep them out of devilm ent?—T he Speticer Railroader. T . Minding His O ath. M y oath was not to take a chance on the C onsitutipn,” said M r, Cool- idge when Governor^ of M assachu setts, “ it was to support it.” T he President conceives it to be part of his coiujtitutiou duty to protect the executive brafnch of the G overn m ent J ro n r-encroachm ent by Ihe legislative/and he does not besttate to act on that conception.

Rural Building And Loan. .F rom U ielast issue of the U niver sity N ews Letter,-, the publication Jfroui Chapel H ill to which we often take occasion to refer,' there was -a veryThteresting article on a subject that should be one of general,InteJl- est. T hat the building an d ' idea should be extended to include the rural districts js ode .worthy' of pushing. T he article follows; N orth Carolina is one of the.few Southern States in which building add .. loan associations have made, gratifying progress This is the more , rem arkable in view of .the fact that we have so large cities; and very few cities of e.ven mode rate size. A ccording'to tables.car ried in M anufacturers’ Record: N orth Carolina had -235 building and loan associations iji 1923 w ith a total m em bership of 65,000 and- asserts of ail r associations ' in the United States have doubled since 1918, the assets of N prth Carolina: associations have uearly -trebbled.; N orth Carolina. has more build ing and loan associations than any other Southern S ta te ,. ar.d .duly seven States in the Union outrank, us in' the num ber of associations. Hovvever, due tp the smallness of our towns seventeen States rank a- head of us in total membership and In total • assets. Yet considering the fact that only four States have a larger rural population ratio., and the additional fact th at our towns are. small, our rank of’ eighth In num ber of associations and seven; teenth in m em bership and assets' speaks weil for the thrift of- the small towns and citie^ in this State. As we have said before the build-, ingiapd loan plan of, saving. for. aJ home Is an American idea. It is a most excellent arid economical m eans of laying aside for a home, and also it is au excellent way to save monoy because the associations pay high dividends 011 installm ents in the form of accum ulated inter est and savings are tax exem pt. And as we have said before, the same plan which is now used so ex tensively and successfully Bv city people can be used by the farm ers of N orth Carolina as the laws of the State provide for the organiza tion and operation of rural building and loan associations. Local groups of farm er^ should" look into the possioilities' of such associations for the plau wrll work for-them as well as it works for urban dwellers. The farm ers of Ohio have been operat ing building and loan associations for-several years.— N ews- H erald. Mrs. Bkarpe to'C am paign.'

Again in April Mr Dur- him wrote to Mr. Bailey explaining that the report had-been tempornrly delayed because of the death of one of the auditors. The aforesaid aud - tor was in a-car-carrying liquor and gat killed when the car was wreck id. And the report hasn’t been publish;- ■ed yet. “ W hat is holding up the publica tion of the auditor’s report? That question is now on the lips of the thinking men throughout the state, •mfdjsomeate beginning,.to. -suspect, that this newspaper is responsible for the delay in publication. “ In its issue of Jan 25 .1924. The Independent gave to the taxpayers of . N qrth Carolina a statem ent of the extraordinary household expenses allawed Governor Cam Morrison by the auditor’s office. It w as'show n that Governor Morrist n pulled down the magnificent sum of $13 563 68 for the year e id ng Ju ie 30,-1922, for expenses incident to the upkeep of his mansion, raanv of the things beihg obviously unlawful.

Biirprise anyone if His.Ex cellency should take a notion to tour the state in-behalf of his favorite,: since the gas and lubricants for such a Campaign could be charged np to the taxpayers of-the state could be charged up to the taxpayers o f th e state. ■ In that event the state audi tors report would hardly be made public until after the riovevber election. ’T he state was astounded by Ibe revaiatiohs made by this newspaper No' one seem s to have ever bothered to read an auditor’s report before and see where the taxpayer's money was going-' And the revalatmn made by this newspaper came,- right a t a time when a new. auditor’s report w asin tfie hands o r.th e printers, which new reports was expected to show that it had taken even more to run the gay and galloping Cameron in 1923 than in 1922. Ts that then t}m reason v h y the auditor’s . report for 1923 hasn’t been made public yet? Many folks suspect as R egistration Boobs Lost. ' In Jbhnsqn county where the Democrats steal the:votes of Repu blicans and boast of the fact,' they have already-commenced their dirty work even before, the election, A nd the strange part of the affair is they are w arring am ong them sel ves.

H orne, the leading citizen of Johnson county, being a strong Bailey man and Io aud behold tliey have lost the re gistration book for..a num ber of townships iii Johnson.county and a new registration has been ordered. T hat is. an old dodge of the machine Democrats. T he election board .of Johnson county who had these books in their keeping should be compelled to produce the books or be sent to the ,roads. Iu three townships in th at county, Cleve land, Clayton and Banners where Mr. Bailey is strongest, the books be located.- A Johnson county citizen tells the world that the name of every McLean supporter will be placed on tile books as if by magic while Bailey’s friends will have their names enrolled the best they can. T hey lost the books in a Mc-' Lean township to''give the thing the proper color but: th e boys will not have to re-register. T henam es will be placed ou there by the ring that has charge of the election machinery. T hat thing looks aw ful suspicjous and we doubt not that it is being practiced all over the State.

Harold Ct h: It is being rum ored in political circles that the Reptiblicens are going to call their county conven . tions to be held in Mocksville, on M onday, July 14, at which time the party will nom inate all the can-, didates for county offices. T he Re cord believes that the Republicans will make a big m istake if they call the convention at this early date. So far as we know a nomination In s never been held this early in Davie county. If. the county ticket is nom inated four m onths before the election the candidates will have too long a campaign. T hey will either give out from hard running or go into bankruptcy. The con vention should not be held Jbefore some time in September. T he coun ty can be canvassed by the nomi nees in 30 days w ithout any trouble.

(Prepared by the United States Department■ ot Agriculture.) Windbreaks are, In more ways than one,'a- farm asset and every farm should have Its windbreak. They tend to prevent the soil ■ from drying out quickly and they protect, grain and orchards from mechanical injury by Uie wind. A belt of trees by the farm buildings protects them from extreme winter cold and summer heat, and makes the farm a pleasanter place In which to' live.- The windbreaks may .also be a Source of wood supply for. use on the farm or for sale. Effect, .of'Windbreak. , The- effect of a windbreak may not always be beneficial to a crop nearby, depending' upon the crop. Whether the. total effect of a windbreak Is good or bad, however, depends upon whether the benefits, derived from its influence on --wind movement, temperature and evaporation are greater or less than the Injury resulting from the sapping and shading of the ground nearby. To determine the total effect, crop meas urements have been made by the United States Department of Agricul ture In Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Minnesota. Average rather than excep tional conditions were measured, the object being to ^discover the effect of those Influences which are continuous and affect every annual crop grown. Measurements made In fields of sm$ll grain indicate that the crop gain In the protected zone is sufficient to offset fully the effects of shading and sapping. In a-wheat field protected by a dense windbreak the gain amounted to, about ten bushels per acre where the protection was complete, and grad ually grew less as the distance from the windbreak Increased. The total gain was about equal to the amount of grain which could have been grown on the shaded ground near the trees. 1 Corn Crop Is Helped. The com crops showed ] more con sistent and marked benefits, from pro tection than any others. Height meas urements on one field showed the plants to be 4% feet high/In the first 18 rows next to the windbreak, while beyond this protected zone the height was 2% feet. The -field showed a pro duction of 59 bushels per acre In the protected zone and only 51 bushels In the exposed part With ordinary field, crops the farm er may count on a benefit from wind break protection which will make the loss of the area occupied by the trees negligible. Under Middle Western con ditions a windbreak whose width .does pot exceed two or three times Its height will more than pay for, itself regardless of the timber which may be produced. White Pine Blister Is Quite Injurious Currant and Gooseberry Bushes Hosts of Disease. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)wnxte pine was once our most im portant timber crop, holding top place In lumber production from 1620 to 1895. It Is now down to fifth place, and unless owners of this timber take precautions the ravages of the white pine, blister rust will'drag it down to. a position of still less Importance- Thia disease is now attacking white pines In all the important regions where It grows In this country—in New . Eng land, the Lake states and In the Pa cific Northwest." There are eight na tive white pines in the United States, lncluiing the eastern white pine, west ern white pine, sugar pine, llinber pine, whltebark pine, Mexican white pine, fox-tail pine; and the bristle- cone pine. The Himalayan white pine and the i stone or cembrian pine have been introduced from Europe and are to be found to some extent-In parks and cemeteries. All of these pines, the native and introduced vari eties, are susceptible to the blister rust ' Since currant and gooseberry bushes are the intermediate hosts of this, disease of the, white pine, the way to protect the pines vis to .,destroy all of the bushes in the pine timber or near It This is;.the only practical method. The spores of the rust can not be transferred Hirectly from one pine tree to another and produce the disease. They, must first find a live gooseberry or currant leaf to grow on, and the spores formed there will In fect the pines. The United'Stated De partment of Agriculture is carrying on campaigns for the’ uprooting of the currant and gooseberry bushes, In white pine regions. Last year the cost of this work averaged' 18 cents an acre, .but- the department says that it would pay even if the cost should mount up to $2 an acre. Gooseberry Worthy More . Attention Than Given The gooseberry-is . worthy of more attention than is usually given it; If a person plants ' gooseberry. bushes wiljh the expectation of growing good crops without further care It is best not- to .frlaftt at' all, since tliey;w111 be only barren breeding places for the currant worm and will not bear fruit. If well cared for they will bear heavy crops of berries that will usually find a ready market at good prices. The' currant worm appears pretty soon aftfr the ,leaves put out In the spring, and.if they are not looked af ter the. worm will ,soon strip the biishes of their foliage and destroy the crop of_ berries entirely. When- the rfonns first appear the bushes should be sprayed with bordeaux mixture In which a little parts green, arsenate of lead or some other insect poison is mixed. The worms are "not hard to poison and one. op two sprayings will settle the worm question without In jury to die-fruit. The spray will also prevent mildew on, gooseberry bushes. Number-of Breeding Sows on, Farms/Has Decreased The number' of breeding sows on farms on April.I. is estimated by the United States Department of -Agricul ture to have been IJ.,1751,000, or 89.2 per cent of the jiumber oh farms at the same time, last year. The decline is greatest in. tile com ^belt. !Breeding sows In Kansas were 80 per cent of the number of the preceding year on April I ; Missouri 85 per cent; Indiana 88 per cent, and in. each of the states of Ohio, Hllhols, Iowa and Nebraska? 88 per cent Increase in the number of breeding sows _on farms In, North Da kota’ was 10 per cent and smaller In creases In five states of the-Far W est Along the Atlantic' seaboard and In the southern states, declines were less than In the corn belt and less tiian the average for the United States. ' SprayingforFruit Rot Indicates Good Results Spraying strawberries for the con trol of leaf-spot diseases has frequent ly teen recommended; and a few grow ers in widely.separated localities have sprayed regularly for fruit rot and have reported an apparent reduction In losses. Tlie first systematic experi ments, however, for the control of fruit rots by spraying were made by the United States Department of Ag riculture -last year, and although the results of this one season’s work must be regarded as inconclusive, some fa vorable results seem to be Indicated. Yarious sprays were used, and no one seemed to show .a (narked supe riority over another, Indicating that no really satisfactory spray schedule has yet been worked out The Investiga tors, feel, however, that the results Justify the conclusion that spraying with-bordeaux mixture, and In some cases dusting, reduced the losses from rot which developed - dfter -the fruit was picked sufficiently to more than, justify the expense- of the treatment Strawberries are grown In this coun try under a great variety of condi tions, and spray schedules must neces sarily be varied accordingly.- The re sult of the first season^ work Seems, however, to -indicate that In the region of Beebe, Ark., where this work was done, strawberry irots may be; reduced by spraying. It Is accordingly planned to extend these spraying tests. Parsnips Planted Early v WiU Oive Best'Results It Is best to plant parsnip seeds early to- give them plenty of time to fbliy. mature. If the s^eds are planted late there is a smaller percentage of germination, tlie plants are weaker and do'not develop, as readily as the plants from seed .sown quite early. Prepare the soil as early as the weather, wilf permit, and sow the'seeds In rows wide enough to -permit; eultl- atlon,.for the weeds must be kept out the parsnips are expected to grow. ■ Vae plenty'oflseed, as theyiseldom all grow. and should they be too thick they can be thinned to . the-proper dis tant* apart the rows. £ ' Plant some sudan grass for hay.'* * * ■ Kill the weeds while they are small. * * * If you have started a garden, you owe it a duty.'

But Sam, not satisfied, snatched up a ktfife and began ripping off the legs of his trousers at the knees. He picked up the^spear. The transforma tion was astounding. Sam Simpson had evolved into one of the wild ne groes of the compound. Tlie roof.was blazing: There came another, rush against the door. The yells were deafening. Winton caught Shelia to him and tried to reassure her In the brief Interval of recharging his revolver. Biit the girl was terror- stricken. and she could hardly' hide her fears.- She clung to W Inton, trembling. “The tunnel!” gasped Snm1 drag ging W inton'by the arm. And the thought of tills had not en tered Wlnton’s min'd; The stife had stood over the hole ever since the robbery. They pulled It aside. ■ Be neath Jt gaped the excavation. “Get down, Sam,” cried Winton as the savages, believing that Wlnton was cowed, or had no more ammuni tion, made a concerted.rush. The door began to splinter. , Sam lowered himself, Wlnton swung Sheila down and followed, b e meant to try and replace the safe from below, bnt his feet had hardly touched the soft earth before the door crashed from Its hinges. He dived after his companions, and heard the mine boys’ shouts of discovery. Tlielr feet, which seemed immediately overhead, made the walls of the.tunnel trem hlq. Fine dust from the concussion set the three' • to choking. ' ' - “Go on with Miss Sheila, Sam,” whispered Wlnton. - He leveled his revolver along the tunnel. It ,was quite dark, but un less his ears failed him it would be Impossible to miss his mark. He heard the natives whispering to gether above, /m d" the sudden silence made the tunnel eerier than ever. They were at an Immense disadvan tage, for It was impossible to hurl a spear within the narrow passage, though one could be used tor thrust ing with deadly effect. ’ But first the thruster would have to assume a prone position, arid Winton knew that his revolver would have thusjleveral sec onds’ start of the spearl- - He waited, hardly breathing, until there came to his ears, very faintly, the touch of bare feet upon the ground, followed by the suppressed “ breathing of a man not far away. ' ■ One of the-negroes was evidently at-the bottom of the excavation, but the excavation' immediately •, beneath the safe was wider than the tunnel itself, and' a 'projecting angle of soft earth afforded' shelter. The man—or men—might therefore be- out of Oie direct line of .fire.- ■ Wlnton .drew a match, softly ..from ,his-, pocket, rind struck It' suddenly- along the. side of his revolver butt. The llttli ,flaring light-revealed the white Ayebalisjand peering face qf.one of the savages, riot a dozen feet ! ,distant. Another face was looking over the shoulder. Everything above was deathly still/ The man’s arm was drawn back/the spear, with a fiurderpus shovel-biade, - held ready *« thrust. Wlnton fired point-blank Into the open .'mouth. • ■/• The match went out simultaneously ■With the discharge. VThere fojjiowed . a choking .cryvUndrjriiA sound Of- blood . bubbling from the throat. 'A n. out burst of yells from- above rolled EiiLa COpyRIGHT AT WG CtIAPMAH hideous echo along the tunnel. ■ The second savage turned .and began scrambling back like a mole, but Wln ton fired again and heard the shuflling /top, as if the bullet had been instan taneously fatal. A shower . of earth cume rattling down. - , And now the faint, reflected flare that came Into, the tunnel, and the roaring from above, told Wlnton that the cottage -was ablaze. TJie ,sounds of shouting greW fainter. The negroes must have been-, driven out by ■ fire; Wlnton raised the. body of the man nearest tftm and set it in- the tunnel In such a; way that It formed an ob stacle to anyone approriching from the rear. He would hear the sound of Its. dislodgment If the-' attack were renewed. ' . . . ■ B ut'the savages had-had enough of the tunpel. Winton loaded his • re volver with his last handful of car tridges and. began scrambling after 8am, calling In a low tone. . He heard Sam’s distant answer, and made his way- S3 fast as he could rilong the tunnel. v Would the natives be waiting at the other end? They could make the distance aboVe- grouhd more swiftly than they could. Bdt Wlnton ddubted whether their minds would work in that manner, with plunder to be had in every compound store along the diamond ridge. He was right-in his presumption, for presently he saw Sairi and Sheila silhouetted against the feint light at the. other end of the lurinel. He caught Sheila to - him fiercely. ‘Keep up your courage,, dear!” he whispered. “We are going to be free. Stay here with Sam, while I go for ward and explore:” For a moment she clung to him and pleaded with him not to expose him self to danger, bnt It was wonderful how brave she was. -Instructing- Sam to stay with Shelia, Wlnton began to creep forward along the ground. Bvt In a moment he saw 'Sgm beside hint. “Mr. G arrett,' I’ll go,” said the negro.. “I guess it's safer for me, looking like That was a fact. Reluctantly—fo r. he would have preferred to face the danger—Wlnton went back and al lowed Sam to proceed upon Ills scout ing mission. ; , ' All along the fields the stores were burning fiercely. Against the light of the .leaping flames could be seen the bodies of the srivages, struggling to' carry off their plunder. Bales of cot tons and cloth, blankets* ’ packing cases of comestibles w.ere befng borne on naked black shoulders. The store on the compound Into whlch the - fugi tives had emerged was, however, al ready gptted, and there were no: na tives immediately -ait hand. It was tiie old story, repeated a hun dred times In the bloody hlstoyy. of SoutIi Africa, of the untamable nature of ', the aborigine reasserting ltself against white supervirion grown lax. Wlnton, a-.few yards from Sheila, suddenly perceived the body of a' man lying face downward upon the ground, immediately- inside, the -barbed wire which separated the., compound. In Whidh he w as/from that adjoining: He recognized it .as that of Josephs. It was pinned to the earth with: two upright- spears. Death must have, been Instantaneous. ” Wlnton's jaws clamped with a spasm of fury- Ke spraffg to his feet, but, remembering the urgent need of cau tion, lay down again beside Sheila, watching Sam. He saw the negro worming hls vvay along the ground upon his stomach. Suddenly Sam turned toward him with an Imperative gesture to lie - still. Looking up, Wlnton perceived a Kafir sentry, armed with a spear and shield, on guard at therdesert road behind the devastated arid smoldering store that had belonged, once.to .Kash. , T he presence-oi tiffs man was omi nous. If the outbrMk had beep con fined to the -diamond compounds, no pentry-would have been se t The fact Of his presence betokened a precon certed- vising, guided by shrewd minds from outside. It betokened something more: - For the man .who hgd ,placed him there must have had a personal Interest In Winton1S capture. Yet Wlnton was no object of hatred on the part of the natives—rather be was one of the more popular among the' clrilm-hoiders. • 'But 1Wlntoh • realized)-onlyVthe first partner the purpose, not. Its Implica tions. He writched Sam spring to Ms feet , and advance boldly toward the sentry, brandishing Jds spear. There was nothing to show that Sam was other than orie .of the/marauders. He wps just as black, rind: in the night he . looked just .‘- as, V ferocious as. any of then).- VTIje: sentry Jpm ed ;and looked at .Sam. In Inqriiryj then went forward to meet him.'.

Sam came back slowly. : “I've killed him,’.’ he began to whimper. . “A good thrust, Sarii” “I’ve killed a , human being. God forgive me!” whispered Sam, shaking as if he had an attack of fever. “Come along,” said Wlnton. - “We must make the desert now. We can work round toward Malopo. If need be we’ll hide In the bed of the;stream for a day or two.- WS must hurry." The tears were streaming down the negro’s cheeks.-. .With ■ a gulp,- Sam pulled himself together. Wlntop- raised Sheila to her feet, and the three raced across the road, crossed the ridge, and saw -the des;ert before them. It was beginning to grow light. From where they halted to get their breath they could see the long' line of blazing stores, .and hear the distant shouting. A sudden outburst of rifle firing from the direction of the town gave the hope that Malopo bad been warned-.In time and was putting up a defense. ' They hurried on, keeping below the ridge, going a little distance into the desert, theri turning to strike the bed nf the winding river, now a succession, of pools, with a freeway of stones and boulders. / - Once between the banks they would be In reasonable security. There were numerous caves ..and ' excavations., there, In one of which a tem porary refuge could be; found. But as they halted upon the bank *Sam uttered a cry and pointed toward the desert. Three men' were riding toward them, with the evident Intention of inter cepting their flight. They were Just visible In the twi light, which, made, their figures, and those of their horses, at once enor mous- and shadowy. Two of them, from, their firm,- stlr- rupless seat, were obviously»Hotten tots. The third was a white manf- Thefe seemed nothing to ^fear and; much to hope. The Hottentots were never, on friendly terms with the Bdchuanas, whom they despised as savages, and the iiresence of their m aster was still more reassuring. The three spurred their horses and ,came galloping up abreast. They were within five and twenty paces when Winton recognized the white man as De W ltt Before he realized the man’s hos tile Intentions De W ltt had ridden He saw Sam - worming hii, ,sway alonq !he V ground upon his stomach; straight athim , The Hottentots, with rearing horses, dashed at Sam:- Win- ton saw' Sam roll on the ground, rind then he himself, was down In a tangle of .plunging hoofs. He had a - dim knowledge of firing his revolver, and then.the scene faded out of his consciousness as quietly as If it w eresom e inqving-pleture with-: drawn from, the white screen. .

' “He’s got her, Mr.- Gafrett.” Wlnton struggled into a sitting po sition and tried to, collect himself. •iWho-T-whrin?”' he mumbled. “De-W itt—half an hour ago.

The tears were streaming down, h is' black face.. “You're right, sir,” he. said humbly. “I—I—” : ' But neither man could speak; and Wlnton, wringing Sam’s hand, mount ed and rode away. H is burning anger gave him strength. The thought of Sheila’s danger, of De W itt’s, trick at the end,;. nerved him to desperation. W ithin two days the wheel of his fortunes had m ade'a com plete revolution. Only the thought of SheIIa In De AYItt’s power, enabled him "to maintain; his mental equilibrium/. And for a while, as he rode over the lonely desert, touched here and there with the green of the young grass, he felt like a shadow moving : Iii a phantom world. • \ He tried to concentrate his attention' on the - tracks of the - three horses, which were distinct In the rain-soaked ground., So long as these were plain’ In sight he felt that he was nearing Sheila every moment, In spite of the fact that he could see no jone. He discovered that what his horse lacked In speed It made up In staying powers, and hours passed without any slacken ing o f’the easy “triple’’ pace. But the morning wore away, 'and it became clear to Wlnton. that De... W ltt had at least maintained his lead. It was almost midday when he discov ered that the tracks had disappeared. For some time they had been grow ing less distinct, for the sandy earth of the desert had yielded to flinty ground) Wlnton went back, found them, and discovered that the horses had struck off a t anvangle leading far aw ayfro.ni the headquarters of the tribe. Hitherto the horses had been travel ing almost immediately toward the bills. Yet It had seemed improbable that De W Itt could have allied him self with the Bechuanas. They would have rejected; overtures from - any. White m an; and De W lttj scoundrel though he was, would h'ardly have made them. Wlnton’s suspicions now: ; became a certainty iri his mind. The Dutchman, who was. well known throughout the desert country, had gathered about himself a few wander ing Hottentots?* probably, old servants or cattlemen, by whose aid he hoped to strilte across the desert into an other territory. ■ ' The tracks leij. due west, toward the h eart-of the almost -unknown Kala hari, -the desert of'salt -pans, inhabited only by a few wandering; Bushmen ,and the antelope on which they lived,. ■'"■ • AAflnton - knew -that there w as-no set- - jlem ent of any kind, ,not even: a native one, for hundreds of miies In this di rection. If one went far. enough, how-- ever, and knew' hoW. to-ijiye on the wild melons that, send thein tap-roots hundreds of feet Into the ground and draw; up water, one would enter Ger man territory, where the Herreto tribesmen lived among the InfreqUenf oases. Thence one could strike "the western shore. ' ■ j And AYlnton suddenly'began to think that Van Vorst must have taken .this route. Probably: the ‘ same Hottentots who had Accompanied-D’e W Itt had helped . Van Vorst across the desert. Tliey might even have cpchrid food; and w ater In some lonely spot, .j Wlnton’s heart sank as' he followed the'feint tracks mile after fhlle. often reduced to a slow whik In order not to lose them..: Sometimes- only a tuft of downtrodden, withered grass, or a few displaced pebbles ,shbwrid him his route. And then even the wisps Of'grass vanished, and the flinty desert lay smooth before him. , :.

Washington.—Further IimltaUon of armaments and American adherence uh reservations to the world court !,rated under the league of nations set up by President Coolldge as m, coals in the field of foreign affairs. Speaking at the Manorial day exer- rises at Arlington, the President re newed his advocacy of the Harding. Hughes plan for American member- chin in the permanent court of inter national justice, and declared the meal of mutual covenants by the na- I0115 limiting their military establish- Uients “should be made practical as fast as possible.'The President, gave notice that he would not oppose other reservations to the court protocol than.those pro- ; nosed bv President Harding and Sec retary Hughes but would not support ■ a n y"material changes which would . not'probably receive the conseht.'ot ' the many other signatory ' nations.” His declaration was interpreted gen erally as opposition to the plan ol the republican majority of the senate foreign relations committetTfor Amer ican adherence provided the nations now members of the court agree to separate the tribunal from the league. The two goals outlined by Mr. Cool- 1 idge were declared by persons close to [ him to be the major foreign policies : upon which he will stand in the com ing campaign.

At. the embassy no information as to the nature of the protest was forth coming. State department officials also maintained silence. The question of making public the protest will be considered by Secretary Hughes and Ambassador Hanihara after the latter formally places the note before the" American, government. The only ex planation thus far available as to the form and substance of the Japanese communication is that carried in press dispatches, which have reported that the Tokio government regards the ex clusion provision as “discriminatory,” and in violation of a commercial treaty .. - There is little doubt that adminis tration officials will take the position that the exclusion legislation in no way volates treaty obligation with Japan, ■ either specific or general in character. They also are firm in their insistance that immigration ' policies fall entirely within democratic juris diction. W hatever‘ statem ent the Japanese government finds it necessary .to make, however, will be' received by the W ashington government in a spirit of complete friendliness,* and with a de sire to do everything possible to pro mote good relations consistent with the maitnenance of American sover eignty. The desire of President Cool- idge and his advisors is to make it clear to the people of Japan that' neither the W ashington government nor the American people cherish any but the m ost friendly sentim ents to wards Japan, Alleged Plot to Bomb Consulate.

Naturally, the vigor, of the breeding stock and the manner In which it has been managed will deter mine In large degree the quality of the hatching eggs. The eggs ‘should be collected reg ularly every day and kept In a room at a temperature of from 50 degrees to , 60 degrees F. They should be turned every day, -but should be handled carefully and should not be kept for over, two weeks. The period ot incubation of turkey eggs is 28 days, and the method of Incubation is much the same as w ith' chicken eggs. Turkey eggs can be in cubated’ under chicken hens, turkey hens, or in incubators. If chicken hens are used to Incubate turkey eggs, care must be taken not to give the hen too many eggs, as from 9. to 12 are quite sufficient, depending upon the size of the hen as well as the size of the eggs. Nesting arrange ments as well as other m atters are practically the same as In Incubating chicken eggs. The sitting hen should be fed' dally and given a chance to exercise. When the turkey hen Is allowed to sit on her own eggs, conditions are much the same as with the- chicken hen. Turkey hens will cover from 15 to 20 eggs. Nests .are most convenient ly. arranged on the ground or In boxes or barrels and should be covered so that the turkey hen will not be dis turbed. At the same time she should be taken off daily; and allowed to exercise and should be given plenty of water to drink, and clean, whole some feed, such as a mixture of wheat and oats. When the turkey hen becomes broody she should be allowed to sit on the nest for two or three days be fore being-Intrusted with the eggs. When she has remained on the nest for two or three days she should then be given her eggs and attended to as suggested. If a number of hens are sitting at the sam e. time, care should be taken to see that they get back to the nests properly and that no nest is left uncovered. Both chicken ahd turkey hens, while sitting on turkey eggs, should be dusted with sodium fluorid, using a small pinch under-each wing, around the thigh joint, over the back, under the body and around the vent.' In this way. the hen is rid of lice 'and the poults at hatching time are not liable to be infested with the parasites. Use of Moldy Straw for LitterQuiteInjurious Serious loss of poultry is often due to the use of moldy straw for scratch ing litter. In such cases,.according to D. C. Kennard1 specialist In poultry at the Ohio experiment station,- the birds affected breathe with difficulty and often wheeze or gasp for air. The symptoms are similar to a cold in the windpipe or bronchitis. The respiratory system of a chicken is so complicated that an excessive amount of dust of any kind is Injurious and especially is this true of the. dust from moldy straw. Recent reports of heavy IoiSses of pullets from this cause have been made. A heavy loss of birds may re sult In a few hours, It seems, and one bale of' moldy or musty straw used for scratching litter may-mean a se rious loss of birds. Better Roosters Needed in Many Poultry Flocks .,We have heard much of better beef sires and. better dairy sires. - A good rooster is just as important to the poultry flock. To prevent "inbreeding it is necessary ' to get-'-new blood at least every two: years. Euy a new cockerel and buy a good one. Be sure he comes from healthy stock which l* s been bred for egg production. Be sure he has vigor, a wide back, deep abdomen, long body, full breast anS proper development. Don’t buy a cull or mongrel at any price. Then mate him up to a dozen of yonr very best hens; late moulters.with lots of room In the ;rear and soft flexible bodies. The result should be better pullets.— O. G. Krump Poultry Specialist, (Colo rado Agricultural College. Fan Out Poultry House It is a good plan to visit, the hen houses after the chickens are gone to roost, and see what the jair smells like. Perhaps It will need to be "fanned put” as they used to fan a change of air into the house in' the bygone. days when- windows were nailed • down, fo r: the winter. Theii the fresh-air devotees would open in' outside door, and* vigorously ' fan it back and forth nnttl'tbe stale air was fanned out. 'OvehmwdInglr Iice, .mites and bad air are the pests-'of. chickens.' Jacquette— -- , Fashion’s Neckwear Story M ILADX of fashion Is growing very fastidious In regard to sweater modes. Just a mere knitted utility sweater does not suffice. There must be certain m arks -of distinction to a<S cent the chic of her sweater, or knit ted jacquette, If you please. It Is the pleasure of her capricious ladyship to pick new and Ingenious tyings, fasten ings, collars, cuffs, bindings. A model especially appealing to dis criminating followers of fashion is the knitted jacquette with a long, graceful revere collar, which has rounded cor ners simulating the mannish tuxedo dinner jacket. The picture Illustrates a charming version of this vogue. The frocks, with plain knit to sojld shades, Is one that runs throughout the styling, of knitted outerwear this season.

This is one of the several reasons why this new sweater model Is enjoying such wide spread popularity. j A word about the color of our sweat ers this season. Never In the annals of approved fashion has cplor been more spirited than now. There’s the fascination In our sweaters and scarfs colors.

MORE AB04JT-BREAKFASTS L et us begin' at the beginning ami serve something ^different Breakfasj may be. the eas iest of meals t< prepare, or th< '.hardest, depend ing . on the coolj or those cooked for. Begin. th« meal with a llttlii • fresh fruit In sea son. Tue family must be. indeed hard to suit If tlieym ay have fresh brook trout, broiled, or.baked in cream, or fried In butter- until crisp and brown. You may not care for salt mackerel, If you can’t get fresh, but It is a ■ delectable' dish when well cooked. Baked Mackerel.—If the fish Is salt, soak It overnight and change the wa ter to remove enough of the salt to make It palatable. Wipe dry, place In a baking dish skin side down, If It lacks fat, dot It with bits of but ter and add a very little boiling wa ter, cook until thoroughly heated through and well seasoned with the butter. Ten minutes before serving .cover with! a cupful of thick cream and simmer until ready to serve. Serve piping hot with the cream poured, over and around the fish. Heavy, hearty foods a re ' not good for inactive people, or-, those inclined to put on w eight When one feels stupid, with a headache and wholly good-ifor-nothlng an hour after break fast, the diet needs to be looked Into most carefully. Tbe hurried eating of the. morning meal, with a rush to catch a car or a run to' school, Is never a wise way to5 start the day. A few minutes earlier rising with a pleasant' quiet unhurried meal, starting the family off In a cheerful fram e, of mind, will nat urally mean a more successful day, no m atter how trying are circumstances. We have no statistics to tell us of the tragedies and crimes which have been fostered by food eaten hurriedly In a disordered household on a disagree; 'able day. ■ Who can tell of th ^ far- reaching effects of a quiet, happy, cheerful breakfast table?

Only the fel lows who are so narrow-minded that they think every man who doesn’t belong to their church or party is going to the devil, are the ones w-lio are a fia d to read our paper or advertise in it. Some of the business men have lost hund reds of dollars of trade on account of their narrow-mindedness. W e can get along without the business of this class of people as well or better than they can get along w ith out our paper.- W e believe in giving every man a fair deal Tegardless of w hat party or church he belongs to.

W e Im agine that the rem ainder of the old ticket will be re nom inated, despite the fact that it is said that some of the. offices have had. to-be leased out. A large num ber of gentlemen who were promised relief along tax lines two years ago are not backward iu de claring that they have had enough of tax reduction and are ready and willing to come back into the Re publican party, the party of their forefathers.

W e trust that the taxes will be raised high enough by the fellows who get in power so that the miss ing link on the square can be finish ed some time next year. T he editor of the Record will not vote for a m an regardless, of party who is op posed to connecting these two streets on the square.

W ith about a dozen candidates in the field,, all with tbeif following, it is hard to predict w ith any cer tainty just who will land this office. Ir the right man is nom inated there is no doubt but th at Davie will elect a Republican sheriff this fall. If the party m akes a m istake and nom inates a man- who is in sym pathy w ith the w hisky elem ent, then the Democrats will elect their man whoevor he is; T he "people of Dayie county are going to demand that good, honest, sober men be nominated to fill .various county offices. Only such men ban be elect ed. The Republicans.. have got to ivork together to accomplish any thing. .The"R ecord’s straw ballot "attracted a good deal of interest in the county and hundreds of voters have expressed theniselves as to who h.-y want for the sheriff A large num ber of Republicans have not yet voted. T he voting will con . tiivue-until the week of the prim ary. We trust that all who are not afraid to go on record will sehd in the-.r ballots. Ot course we know there are a num ber of voters who have not yet n ad e up their m inds and there are also - a num ber who are like the D utchm an’s flea. W e do not blame the pros pective candidates for not yot^, ing. The straw ballots up to this time show that Cope, of Cooleemee, is still in the lead w ith forty-one votes Jto ' spare. Miller, H aft- man, Winecoff, Sm ith, G raham , W alker and Smoot is bringing up the rear.

New York.—Signs of diminishing activity predominated in the reports on Industrial conditions last week. Buying of industrials and Tailroad equipment was very small and the steel industry continued to reflect this condition and the slowing down !which occurred In the making of automobiles and other steel consuming products. Pig iron production figures for May revealed an unparalleled curtailment. The daily average dropped 24,000 tons from the rate during April. This was 1,000 tons a day more than the pre- vlous record decline, which occurred at Jte time of the steel strike in 1919. Eighty-six furnaces were blown out In April and May, compared with 39 Mown out during the first three Months of the year. Steel production meanwhile drop ped back to about 45 per cent of ca pacity after having risen to 60 per cent in March. At the start of the year before the spurt of over-produc- 00 set in, the rate approvimated 65 Per cent of capacity.

Sylvia.—The dedication service of the W alter E. Moore dormintory for’ girls, at Cullowhee Normal and Indus trial School In Jackson county, which has Just been completed at an approx imate cost of $250,000, was held Fri day- morning, May 30th, in the spacious reception hall of that building. .-A m eeting of the W estern North. Caro lina Weekly1 Press Association and also the Interm ent Education Council -^t Cullowhee on the same date brought together an unusually large number of educational and public leaders of the state for the occasion. -• President John E. Calfee of the Asheville Normal, one of the principal speakers, paid tribute to the rapid growth and work of CulIowhee and its promising significance as an educa tional institution in W estern North Carolina. He chose for the subject of his address Spiritual Forces in Edu cation, which he outlined under the headings of integrity, vision, courage; and thinking. His m essage was timely and greatly appreciated by those pres ent. Ex-President Madison in a short address then reviewed the history of the School, showing the early forces which contributed to its development and the splendid services and untiring efforts of Mr. W alter E. Moore in be half of the institution. He recalled the work of Mr. Moore in getting a bill through the legislature as early as 1893, carrying an -appropriation of $1,- 500 for the Cullowhee School- This fact was significant in that it marked the first recognition of the School by the state. Mr. Moore himself, who is chairman of the Board of Trustees, was present, and spoke in a modest way about the services he had been able to render, and expressed the desire that the building named in bis honor m ight add to the comfort of many young ladies yet to cpme to Cullowhee, seeking bet ter educational advantages. State Su perintendent A. T. Allen, the conclud ing speaker, outlined in a convincing manner a larger program of public education and equality of educational opportunity for the boys and girls of- North Carolina. He showed some of the outstanding inequalities now ex isting between town and country and between adjacent districts in educa tional opportunities. He suggested the policy of a minimum school term of eight months for the state, a county wide system of taxation, better train ed teachers, and improved service in transportation. " He concluded his speech by saying that North Carolina should take the same attitude toward schools as toward roads; and that is, the best only should suffice. The W alter E. Moore dormitory, the pride of the Normal, is. not only a credit to Cullowhee but to North Caro lina, for J t is estimated by some as the finest best equipped dormitory for women in the state It is a handsome three story firfe proof brick building, with ninety rooms completely furnish ed to take care of 180 girls. It is also equipped with a beautiful dining room and kitchen, large reception halls and reading rooms with elegant furniture. It has steam heat, electric lights, the latest system of plumbing, and is modern in every respect. The build ing itself, located on a lofty elevation, presents a Stately appearance, 1 and from its windows on every side pic turesque views of the surrounding mountains can be had. W ith the completion of Moore dor mitory, a rapid growth of the Normal is assured. Every room was assigned for the Summer School, which opened. June 3rd, and reservations are^being made daily for the fall quarter. H. T. Hunter, the new president, is a man of broad vision and strong personality. Under his efficient adm inistration Cul- lowhee is making rapid strides and its outlook for the future is brighi. ' -1 DoYou Wantto Learn and Earn?

Gaston county now ranks as the third in the . world outside of Great Britain in the cotton spinning industry, the other two counties being located in M assachusetts and Rhode Island re spectively. Gastonia holds its rank as combed yarn manufacturing center of the South, being surpassed in Amer ica only by New Bedford, Mass. In the 97 m ills of the county they are 1,136,593 producing spindles and 4,216 looms. Gver 1,000 loonis have been added during the year, then ten dency in the county’s industrial prog ress being tow ard the finishing of the yarn, the spinning dl which has hith erto monopolized the county’s indus try. Daily averages are figured on 280 working days for 1923. The total capitalization of the mills -is $36,660,300.00. They maintain 5,988 houses, for their employees the aver age rental received being $2.50 a m onth for a Rve room cottage or bun galow. Many of the mills include 16,684 people in 1923. The pay roll for Gaston is $9,482,- 260.02, of which $4,895,422.02 is from the forty-three mills located in Gas- toni.a . The m anufactured products for IW totalled $55,433,0175.61 and include fine cofnbed, carded and automobile tire fabrid yarn, automobile tire fabrjc, sheeting, duck, damask goods, ging hams,'- flannelling and fancy dres goods and shirtings. ' During 1923 a total of 232,741 bales of cotton w ere consumed. As the ma jority of the spindles are on fine yarns the bulk of this cotton comes from tne M ississippi Delta, Texas, California, Arizona and Egypt. McDowell First County System.

In a swamp near Chatham, N. J., stands the 20-foot cedar that claims the distinction. The hat circles the trunk of the cedar at a height of about five feet from the ground. The trunk pushes straight up through the crown of the hat for 15 feet, and a pair of sturdy branches grown out since the tree im paled the hat a r e 'a t a distance Of about a foot above it. - Despite its age and weather-beaten green hue, the hat remains in excel lent condition and, according to the opinion of a manufacturer, In its^pres- m t COndiUlOii wlU lsgt A tree expert, in trying to ascertain the length of time the hat bad girdled the cedar’s four-inch trunk, made compari sons by use of a trunk secti()n of simi lar dimensions.

As the dish is to be a hearty one, the butter must not be spared. This dIsh in many families where it is well liked, is never quite large enough. Potatoes may be served with white sauce and as'much cheese as one cares to add to-the dish. Bake until well- heated through. A rich cream Soup with fingers of nicely buttered toast is always a good beginning. Salads are so many - and of such- variety that they of themselves may solve-tbe problem of the main dish.

In the far distance were the faintest blue outlines of hills. It occurred to him that De Witt might- have been making for these. And he might as well go forward as turn back. He trudged on endlessly, leading the horse, the sun a grilling fire above him. His boots were burned through from contact with the h o t' stones. Loose shale and flints slipped under his tread. The sun, even In its descent, seemed to grow hotter. Winton was half dead from thirst. The panting horse was becoming a burden At last it stood still -and dropped slowly upon its knees. It looked at him and whinnied. As Winton glanced hopelessly over the plain his eyes were* arrested'- by the sight of a dark object lying an Indefinite distance away. It was too large for a man—too black for a rock. And there were ho rocks anywhere, for the whole plain seemed to have been crushed flat by a giant steam roller. Winton made his way toward it. It began to take form ; it was a dead horse. It had dropped In its tracks, and its sufferings had been ended by -a bullet through the head. But there were no signs of a rider, and it was impossible to distinguish any foot- tracks on the stones. It was no doubt the horse that had been ridden by one of the three. It was not De W itt’s. Probably it was the Hottentot’s. Wlnton’s spirits soared upward. He set his teeth grimly and went back to his animal. He must go on now, even if he had to leave the beast be hind him. He stood looking at- it. It had fallen upon its stoma'ch, and crouched thus, with its legs bent under it. It raised its head and whinnied again faintly. It was past saving, unless water could be procured immediately. i Winton drew his revolver, took care ful aim behind the ear, and fired. The beast’s head went down—It quivered, rolled on its side, and died. And he went on. By degrees his journey -became automatic; so that he was hardly conscious of his surround ings. He saw only the distant hills and the western sun descending with tantalizing slowness. His tongue, swollen and numb, seemed to distend his cheeks. Sometimes the stony desert yielded for a few steps to sparse patches of flinty earth, indicat ing the hope of some .fertile region beyond, but it always began again. The sun dipped into the west, and still the man staggered onward. The significance of the patches of thorn scrub was lost to him, of the rugged and broken terrain, of the foothills about him, with their straggling mi mosas. But suddenly Winton stopped, trembling. Oreen grass was at his feet, and out of a fissure in the ground there bubbled a littie spring, unguessed at by the map-makers. It was a tiny unknown oasis in the vast wilderness. De W itt had evidently possessed the secret, and had planned to make this his headquarters until the hue and cry had been dropped. Wlnton flung himself upon the ' earth beside the spring, and, burying his face in the water, drank until his shriveled veins seemed to pulse with new blood. The sun had set. and the intense heat was changing to the icy cold of the desert night when he arose, rested, and with all the grimness of his reso lution nerving him to action. He knew that Sheila could not be far away. He looked at his revolver. To his con sternation he discovered that only two shots remained. However, these should be enough—one, at least, would save Sheila from De W ltt; the other— He would not face the possibilities that unfolded themselves' before him, but rose to his feet, and was about to follow the-spring through a valley into the hills when something lying upon the ground attracted his attention. It was Shelia’s handkerchief. He snatched it up and pressed it to his Ups. He felt that Shtila had dropped it for an indication,, knowing that he would follow. Lightly he stepped forward into the bush-clad hills, among the boulders. The valley opened. The scene grew desolate again. AU round Winton were hills of a precipitous character, which gradually grew steeper until be found himself In a sort of level am phitheater, apparently inclosed, save at the end through which he had come. Thin tufts of grass and sparse vege tation grew around the bases of the cliffs, but the central portion of the - valley was of a dazzling whiteness, as If incrusted with salt or alkali. Along one side were numerous trails, showing the sharp edges of the spoor „■ of beasts. - After a while WInton discovered that the white floor, on which .he now ’ walked, was ,not composed of mineral but of animal matter. It was a layer of pulverized bones, thousands upon thousands, picked bare by jackals and vultures, bleached by the sun and dis integrated by the passage of years. Gradually the' bones grew larger until Winton was 'stumbling on that uneven floor. It was one of those death places of the wild beasts ol the veld, often described but seldom en countered. It was a natural resting- place for the antelope and creatures of prey, which, feeling the approach of death, drank their last drink at the spring and turned aside among the cliffs to die unmolestedl It had been used for countless generations. Wln- ton saw the immensely long thigh bones of the. giraffe, exceeding the height of a man. though’ the beast had long since been driven northward. There were the skulls and horns of springbok, .koodoo, hartebeeste and gnu, with their varying forms and spirals. Gaunt ribs stood out like the framework of old; rptting boats; teeth gaped In skulls, -and in one. lonely place, in a cluster, of grass, an aged hyena, whose last hunting w as done, crouched, belly flat against the-ground, with open chops, and snarled In its decrepitude. WInton hurried on, trying to make the end of the valley, where he thought some pass might exist, before darkness held him a prisoner. He had nearly crossed this desolate region when he caught sight of a tiny twinkle of red light on the cliff above him. - He stopped, hardly able to believe It true. Another light appeared. Then came a series. Winton - realized that these were sparks blown from a camp fire upon the sum mit His heart began to thump wildly. He stumbled forward over the bones. Vinton hurried on Darkness had fallen by the time he reached the narrow trail at the val ley’s end, and he had many narrow escapes among the boulders with which’ the way was. strewn. On each side of him the cliff rose vertically, and the pass itself, hardly wide enough to per mit a horse to ascend, seemed Iiki a fissure in the mountain side made by some natural cleavage of the rocks. He had ascended to within a few feet of the! summit when some instinct halted him abruptly. Then a sudden drfit. of smoke toward him showed him that the camp-fire was Just at the crest The sound of voices reached his ears. • Ckawling slowly forward upon his stomhch, and . pulling himself to the level top of the , mountain, Wlnton peered out from behind the cover of a mimosa tree, and saw’ a party of yellow. Hottentots' seated ' about the blaze. There were six or ,eight of them, and behind the Are was a tent, which Winton knew concealed De W ltt The fear that Sheila w as. there, -in the man’s power, tempted Winton to rush forward. He had to use all his judgment to . give no sign of his pres ence as he crouched flat behind the little tree at the edge of the precipice. Some movement must, have alarmed one of the Hottentots, for he. leaped to his feet"with a. guttural exclamation and hurled his knobkerrie toward the spot where Winton lay.. It was fortu nate that the party had no dogs with them. The missile, whirring past Wln ton’s head, crashed against a boulder and dropped to the valley below, triking from rock to rock In the course of its descent. The native, who had advanced to recover his .weapon, stopped as the sound of the fall showed that It was irrecoverable, and went back to the fire. Winton’s fingers relaxed on-his re volver butt. Another Instant and he would have fired—and -lost Sheila Irre trievably. He lay flat In the grass, watching the light of. the fire play upon the. fierce faces about i t Already tbe: moon was rising.1 He could neither, advance nor retire without immediate discovery. Desperate plans chased’ each other through his head in swift succession. ■ J ' Each turned upon the feasibility, of a rush, the snatching'up of a spear after he had . fired his remaining but lets, and a hopeless fight with the object of at least killing Da Wltt.' Each plan ,was hopeless; but then ev erything else was hopeless. The minutes seemed lengthening Into hours. At last Winton’s plans had simjnered down to this: he would not risk discovery until he was assured .lint Sheila was in imminent ,danger, !•’or the present she was probably safe. He felt sure she was not in De W itt’s tent. Where, then, was she? As his eyes traveled from spot to spot they lit upon a recess In .a wall of rock at the summit of the moun tain. The leaping flames of the fire, illuminated the interior of- what seemed a little cave. And Somefiow -Wihton sensed that Sheila was within that. It wias some thirty yards away, and he saw little chance of reaching It un observed. There was a fringe of grass through which he might crawl for the greater part of the journey, but for the last few feet he would have to traverse bare rock, within a few feet of the fire. Yet he began his task, and it was infinitely arduous and slow. It was a m atter of inch-long move ments—first of one arm, \hen. of the other, then of the corresponding lower limbs. The dry blades of grass crackled under the slightest movement. The natives were dozjing over the fire. Winton had gone perhaps six feet when one of the Hottentots raised himself suddenly to a kneeling posi tion and thrust out his head toward him, peering intently through the grass. Winton, perfectly motionless,! stared for at least five miputes into the yellow face within a few feet of his own. The man knelt like a statue, the eyeballs gleaming In the moon light, the fingers encircling the spear- shaft. Suddenly' the sight faded. The moonlight was cut off abruptly, plung ing the land Into immediate darkness. Then a few drops of rain began to fall. In half a minute a torrent was de scending. It was the characteristic beginning of. one of the seasonal thunderstorms. As Winton crouched near the .cave, preparing to cross the open space, there came a flash of lightning ■ that made the world as bright as day. It showed him the’form of the Hottentot, motionless where he had been watch ing, the-'flngers still abpnt the spear; BUt it showed hiin 'another sight that drove the blood from his heart. He saw De W itt crossing from 'the tent to the cave. So momentary was the flash that the man’s attitude, his gesture, and the movement of his body -and limbs seemed caught as on a photographic plate. He was halfway to the cave, hurrying with head bent down to shield his face from the rain. But Winton could still see the look of anticipation on his features, and It was that which gave him, for the second time, the lust for murder. It was borne in upon him then,(that by no possibility could De W ltt and he live in the same world together. The flash, which had given Winton his final clue to Shtilah’s hiding- place, had shown him the topography of the mountain cleft. The place was a natural fortress. The only apparent approach- was the narrow neck along which he had come. Beyond, the mountain dropped in a vertical cliff, and beyond that was the stony desert where no tree grew and nothing could live. - jln the interval between two suc ceeding flashes Winton fcrept noiseless-. Iy across the open space in front of the cave and crept forward into the darkness of the interior. 'As he gained the shelter of the projecting wall, and crouched behind-it, hidden alike from the sight of the Hottentots without and from those within, he heard Sheila speaking, and -knew that his search was ended. , ' C H A P T E R XVI\ t ’ The Passing of De W itt. “Yes, I am In your power,'but do yon think he will not avenge the wrong you would do me?” she- asked. ’Sheila, listen to reason! We’ve both fought for you, and Fve won. You’ll never-see him again. He can't find the way here, and even If he knew ,where you are he couldn’t cross the desert. You’re in my power—and Fm’ offering to marry you. Can I ue fairer?” ‘To your own wife?’’ aske’d Sheila scornfully. ‘That happened years ago. Maybe she’s dead. I haven’t beard of her in five years, and nobody will know about It where I'll take you. You shall hkve your fling In Johannesburg and live, with the best pbople. Sheila;- I love you—” - . “If you loved me, Mr. De Witt, you' would scorn to threaten me.”- 1 “Fm talking plain sense. You’re in my - power—absolutely.

No/’ • ■ ; ‘.‘You’re mighty proud of that white bipod ,of yours,, I suppose,,” sneered De W ltt “Suppose I was Iving in court to get even with the old Indue. Suppose you’re half-nigger stUL HOwabout Garrett, then?” ■ • * Sheila. : v- '“W hat,do you mean? Suppose I tell you it-w asn’t ’.the truth?” , “But it was the truth,” cried Sheila, “for I have always felt i t Blood tells, and mine has called'.out to me that I was white, Whlte1Tever since I vfras a child in the. village.- I clung to that belief In spite of everything.” “Well, it was the truth,” said De WItt grudgingly. Then his tone sof tened. “Sheila, Tve got, you now, and, by Heavens, I won’t let you go I” he said. There was a struggle in the cave. The girl uttered a cry. And at that moment Winton bounded forw ard., The second- cry that came from Sheila’s lips was drowned in the roll of, the reverberating thunder that fol lowed a vivid lightning flash. In that in stant Winton saw De W Itt standing, one arm grasping Shelia to him, while his eyes dilated as he recognlzedjher rescuer confronting him, revolver In hand. r The darkness and th^ echoes of the thunder seemed interminable..y Shelia broke from De W itt with a cry and ran to Winton. H e. felt her arms about him, but he thrust her gently aside. “I have you covered,” he called to De W itt ‘‘If I hear you stir, or if yori cry out,-I fire.” • No answer came. Winton waited, tense, his revolver aimed at the spot where he imagined iDe Witt, to be. The next flash showed, the outlaw standing with his back against the wall of the. cave, a dozen feet distant The flash and De W itt’s shot were al most simultaneous. Winton saw a chip fly from the rocky wall beside him. He sprang for De Witt, touched him, lost him, and stood panting for the next flash. It came, and the two shots rang out together, though the sound of the dis charge was lost in the rolling thunder and the pattering rain. Both missed, Winton fired again and missed again. He realized that his last bullet was gone. He-m ust catch De W ltt at the next flash and overcome him before he could fire. But he could hear nothing, and he lost his bearings In ■ the- complete darkness:” . : " • In the’light of the next flash Wlhfon saw that De W itt had disappeared. He glared furiously about him. Then a bullet whipped his cheek, he heard a-faint crack from one side of him, and he saw,' before the light vanished, De W itt’s hand emerge apparently from behind the solid wall at the back of the cave. A series of flashes Illuminated the entire Interior. Now Winton could see a-narrow opening In th e. wall at the back of the recess. De W ltt did not fire—perhaps he thought that Win* ton had him covered. Winton leaped forward, found the. opening, and stopped. Some instinct of caution held him rooted to the spot. The thunder peals were deafening. The rain.' was driving into the cave, which was ankle-deep In water. Sud denly Winton feallzed that the rivulet at his feet was feeding a waterfall. And then he understood his situation He was standing upon the brink of a deep crevice. A' single forward step would have hurled him to debtruction. The same.'warning Instinct that had stopped him at-th e edge taught him to spring back behind the ledge of the protruding rocks. He had just re gained this refuge when another flash showed De W itt standing on the .op posite brink, less than six. feet dis tant, aiming, at where Winton had been. . With horror, Winton saw that Sheila stood In the line of fire. She !was standing. motionless, staring after Winton, horror and anguish on her face. The sight of her peril electrified Winton- He leaped Into the. darkness. He heard the phot ring out, but his onset had deflected his enemy’s aim. And this time he had De W itt In his arms, pinioning the hand that held the revolver. On the brink of ' the abyss the two; fought'for their lives.

FEEDING. BABY CHICKS IS IMPORTANT WORK Feeding the baby chick is im portant' because of the fact that a good start means good growth, early maturity, and hpalfhy stock, says D. H. Hall, extension poultry -specialist at ’ Clem- son'college, who suggesis below when, how, and what to. feed tpe young chicks. . A goOd many people make a mistake by feeding , the baby chicks too early after they are hatched. The chicks can go , without food, for at least . 48 hours after they are hatched. During this'period- they are allowed time to absorb the yolk m aterial left In their bodies and to put their bodies into condition for receiving other food. The-first food that should be given a baby chick is buttermilk, as It- is a good protein and also contains much lactic acid. The lactic, acid forms an unfavorable medium for the develop ment of white diarrhea. W hite di arrhea is one of the most dreaded dis eases of baby chicks,: and to guard against this disease buttermilk should be kept before the baby Chicks at all times. . After the baby chicks have had a. drink of buttermilk, the pext feed should be given as a soft feed. Hard-., boiled . Infertile eggs mixed with aif equal part of corameal is a mighty good starter. The eggs furnish pro tein and the cornmeal furnishes heat and energy. When the eggs cannot be obtained, J t is a good idea to start the baby chicks off on . one-half pound of meat meal mixed with five pounds of cornmeal, which can be fed damp with buttermilk. After being fed either o f the above mixtures for one week the chicks should be gradually weaned off to the regular mashes and scratch feeds. A good scratch feed consists of the following: 1 part pinhead oats2 parts cracked wheat4 parts cracked corn ’ The above should be fed as a scratch feed and th i baby chicks al lowed to scratch In th e' litter for it. The dry-mash should contain the fol lowing p arts: 40 pounds cornmeal -20 pounds wheat middlings .10 pounds wheat bran • 10 pounds finely ground oats15 pounds meat scraps . B pounds peanut meal or soy bean meal • The above scratcn and. mash feedsJ can fie fed to the baby chicks untU they are three' months old. ' After the chicks are three months old they can be placed on the regular scratch feed and mash. ILeg Weakness in Chicks From Lack of Vitamins Feeding is a factor in prevention of poultry disease. A ration should be fed that contains not only: the proper amount of fat, carbohydrates, and proteins,; but also the essential vita mins.. Vitamins are best supplied by green feed. Green feed should be given to the birds. daily. A disease known as nutritional disease results from, lack of the proper vitamins, but more important than this, is the dan ger of lowering the resistance of. the fowls and thus making them suscepti ble to more serious diseases, says. W. R. Hlnsbaw, instructor In bacteriology, Kansas State A gricultural’college. Young chicks are especially suscep tible to the deficiency disease caused by lack of vitamin D. W eak legs re sult from the lack of this vitamin, and this can be. corrected, by giving small quantities', of cod liver oil. Direct sun light has the same effect as cod. liver oil In correcting this condition; so that sunlight may be considered a factor in health feeding. When direct sunlight is available nutritional rickets or weak legs can be prevented, if the chicks are allowed , to get plenty of It, according to Mr. Hlnshaw.

InllIicrs and merchants assert he is. JfllVi hollow moans arise from agri (.-ilmral (Iistrict, even from Kanfas where crop prospects are adm itted: Iv In-iirht. when the son of the soi| is ■liked Iiiiw he is getting along. On the oilier hand, mail order houses, which art' supposed to be in the most Jntiinuie possible touch with the farmers and his financial situatian, declare that domestic demand for agricultural products within the next 10 years will exceed domestic su|iply and that this will mean sta bility and higher prices. Population is gaining fast o r land ros'iurces, according to a Chicago agricultural foundation, sponsored by a mail order house In 1890 there were only 176 inhabitants to each lhtnisands acres of improved farm lamls Since then the population Iws irrown 15 per cent and improved farm lands have increased only 5 per cent. Last yccr nearly 20 per cent of the tilal United S tates wheat crop w as lastrod for export, together with 1.5 per cent of the rye, .15 per cent of the rico. 10 per cent of m eat p ro ducts, nearly 50 pejr cent of the cot ton and 33 per cent of the tabocco. The increase in population, how ever, is now about 1,600.000 inhabi tants a year. Ten years hence there will lie from 125,000,000 to 130,000,- OUD people to feed. If agricultural liroduction does not increase—and farmers constantly are being urged I) restrict—and domestic consump tion per capita remains as high as at present, the exportable surplus of food products will be required a t home, according to the foundation, while it will be necessary to cut cot ton and tobacco exports 25 to 40 per cent of their present volume, and since demand will be close on the heels of supply, adequate prices can be expected in 10 years. That prediction does not add much cheer to ths farm er. He wants ade- ipiate prices now, as witness his'at- titudeon pending-farm legislation' in congress. The general trend, however, throughout the country is t.iward smaller farm s and more in tensive cultivation, which is doing much to aid the farm er, even though lie may not realize it a t the moment. Tiiis big farm s and ranches of Texas are being cut into small plots and intensively cultivated. The average California farm now con* sis'.s of 219 6 acres. This is a tre mendous reduction from ^the early 'lays when farm s of more than 3,000 acres were common, but the smaller lrrcls of the present are worth more in many instances thrn old ranches some of them oeing valued as high as $1,000, to $30000 an acre; The 11.878,339 acres acres of improved^ California farm lands lastyear pro duced crops valued at $530,000,000, or almost $50 an acre, for every acre tilled, In the meantime, however, wheat Prices appear to hang on the num ber of bushels that m ust be carried ovir into the next year crop sessioh ai'l corn prices on the Argentine yield and the number of hogs which will be fattened in the coming year I lie apparent indication are for a sIiKht possible advance in w heat and a U^tliiie in corn but conditions may readily upset either prediction.

NUMBER 50. Y ellow J a c k e ts W ere S o ciab le., Talking with folks and getting their viewpoint of life is a favorite pastim e with the editor of the Marsh- ville Home. „ It is interesting to-note that prac tically everybody enjoys a little fun now and then, a fter worrying and w restling with the everyday pro blems of life. It is also interesting to observeHhat a larse per cent of the current jokers are told on m inisters of the gospel. H er’e one of the latest: A m inister of the old school type, who wore long, 'Mirn- sw uiger” coats, after returning froth service one hot Sunday after noon hung his coat in an unseled closet and let it remain there unt I his next monthly, ,appointm ent. In the m eantim e, yellow jackets built a nest in it, A fter the preacher hsd reached his church, wearing that long coat, and warm ing up to a con- siderabiedegree. They accordingly began stinging the preacher and he slapped first one side of his anatomy and then the other as the stings were applied until he could stand it no longer and realizing that poqie ex planation muse be -made to his audi ence, he gazed across the congrega tion with a confounded look and ex claimed, “ Brethren and sisters. I wast you to understand th at I have the lave of God in my heart, but Tve got the devil in my “ britches.’ ” —Ex. W h at Is W hite M ule? W hat is this stuff they call white mule? W hat is the thing that wilr cause any man to shoot down his fel- low-creatures? W hat kind of a crim inal is it th at will concoct such poi sonous doses? W hat kind of a man is it that will fill his system, and poi son his b rain -w ith a d ark . thac' will make his unconscious self g e t a gun and-put biood in his eyes? In a big tin can seized by police of ficials a few days ago after it had been used for making w hite mule, al most everything from soap to' m ag gots was found dried'to the sides. From its appearance there had never been any attem pt to clean it. Daily, no doubt, its . criminal owner has drained its contents into bottles-to be disposed of to raving maniacs, boys and girls . Often in ^Evansville one hears some young bejy boosting of a partv the night before, of the-m'ule he and his friends consumed, etc. It is wtjite mule talking. That’s the way it starts. W hispers awhile. Then speak out. Comes a brag or two. Finally it begins to act—kicks and kicks hard. It would be better if it dynamite. Dynate so strong that it would blow desire from thfy mind of the drinker; turn it. into TNT to burst under the m aker.

One has but to be observant on a drive from the Yadkin River to Mocksville to be convinced how wise will be the investm ent in a bridge’ across the river and a hard surface road from there to the county, seat of Davie The ferry has been a great public convenience in years gone by, and it is a whole lot easier than swimming now. But with a bridge and a hard surface road one goinir west would be to Fork by the ..time an automobile can be ferried across. Dayie county in the Hen miles be tween Fulton’s Ferryand Mccksville appears to be a naturally fertije country. It is auite _ rolling but' mostly the soil is of the type that does noj. wash easily and it has a look of richness. But; Along the roadside and on the hills here and farther away can be seen houses of another period in North Carolina, homes beautifully situated but generally lacking paint. Hund reds of fertile acres are lying fallow, and the rabbit hunters of Davidson County can testify to the fact that there^s much undistributed terri tory in Davie. ManyrOthers of these old-fashioned hous.es are vacant ex cept for |)ats and chimney swallows. The form er occupants have gone elsewhere and many of them have become prom inent factors in build ing N orth Carolina industrial com mu^ities. - Iaolution i3 the answer that im mediately presents itself. The fer tile land was to far from a consum ing m arket. Salisbury and Winston- Salem are too far away, and the Y adkinstandsa as a barrier, to the eist. Mocksviile stood for many years and olny within ,th e past two or three years has it given promise of_th.e growth'thate^ill.i^ssm e to., it- with the development of all this fer tile back territory. A bridge across the. river and a hard surface road through this ter ritory will work magic. Inside of five years, we predict confidently, it will spring into new life. New homes and remodelled homes will appear everywhere and educational institutions once among the ieading in this section, but now outstripped by more accessible sections, ■ will come back into their own. The farmB will become more famous by for the’ excellence of fieid and dairy than they now are for the abundance and fatness of the rabbits. ;■ And the rainbow of promise is now bright in the'sky.; 'T he State High- way Commission has approved a bridge for the river between' Davie and Davidson and citizens of both ounties are anxious that it be built, it has also been promised that the highway between the river and Mocksville will be hard surfaced. Engineers are now a t th e ; river sur veying for the be.-t bridge site. This will be also open up a route to the east for Davie folks and bring them a good many miles otearer the heart of industrial Piedm ont where growing-cities"'will call more and more for the potentiol' products of Davie farm s. The day is coming, we predict, when that hard surfaced road from MocksvilIe to the Yadkin will stretch across Davidson, Ran dolph and Catham and touch the pte- the present Central Highway a t Cary. At. Asheb.oro it will cross another greaHiigbway leading down to Pine- hurst and through the heart of the Sandhills, onto the oct an at Wrights-, ville Beach - We b'eleive .something big is starting with the wise invest m ent in this bridge and the road be- yond’it. And just.-here it .is well to say something about the county seat of Davie. It is much ask in to David son, especially to Lexin^t-m.- for lXere has not only been a m utual^ac- quaintance but there; is much kin ship between the ppople of the two county seats. L x>ng'on until a very few jiears ago hung back in her con servative adherence - to' a : romatic past, but she, has now joined the forwai d process)on, passed' a whole flock of other- communities and is surging along with the lead horses; Mocksville is j ust / beginning to feel th i rising i i.!e f new life. Tnisre are now two 'ribbons -of concrete through .the- town. ; >Thf iSouthercf Pow er Company, haitfS d n tly ' a big transmission line right through the edge of the place, and already men of vision in the Davie capital have begun to erect plants and plan o‘hers to use . the siipoly of power a''aiilable. < A handsome new bank building graces square around which clusters the main business section. A Lexington contractor was there figuring with MoeksvilIe developers for the erection of anpther building. Another enterprise that is a further mark of town advancement was be ing planned at the'8ame hoar. But despite her new ideas and ideals, Mocksville has ,not forgotten some of the fine things of the past Good saddles horses are not only ad mired there, but they are used There are still places in Davie where you can ride a horse in comfort, and there is scenery to delight the eve and rest the soul. And the new high way and bridge is going to give more people an opportunity to en joy it. Davie has been rearing men and women to* nevelop other communi ties. The signs of the time are that she is going to use more of them at home after this.—The Disptch. T h e S tate P ris o n A gain. One can harclly pick up a paper these days w ithout some reference being made in some of one of them to the loosely conducted State pri son under the m anagem ent of those two great hum anitarians, George Ross Pou and S. T- Busbee. A paper published up in W ilkes, in the neighborhood where the -auto mobile bandit, O tto W ood used ro reside, writes interestingly of the escape of that one handed, cripple- footed desperado. The Yellow Jack et says-that . \ j : "T h e more tli,e truth leaks out about O tto W ood's escape from the N orth Carolina State penitentiary the -rotter the ad- . m inistration of that institution appears to be. W ood is a small,- sized man, w ith but one arm, -and crippled foot.

H e is physically too insignificant^to have made his escape if there had been any effort made at all to stop him. Yet hessays that ■ he overpowered the guard at at the State prison, got in the . doctor’s automobile and rode thru the gates which were free ly-opened to let him escape. H e also says that he notified... ' the prison superintendent that unless he got ,better treatm ent, he was going to leave.

A great num ber of the citizens of this country think that it is the gov- ernments duty to support them and like the world war veterans'^they hold a club over congress and make them do their bidding. We have al ready stated th at this insurence bonus will only be an entering wedge for an unlimited'pen^iop list later on and already this has been stated, one of the soviets in the S< nate-hav ing already introduced a bill to pay the veterans in cash rather than in insurance. Ah election. year is a good time for such propaganda and we don’t doubt for a minute, that if that bill comes up before congress but what it will pass, regardless of the financial effect on the nation And yet these soldiers Eay they were patriotic these and “ fighting for a priciple,” but it looks very much to us as if fbey have placed “ dellars a- bove patriotism .” Copy has gone to the government printing office for millions 'of ap plication blanks -and other papers connected with the recent bonus bill. Under the term s of the bonus law men who served less than 60days get nothing, as every, soldier .recieved a tween 60 and HO 'days, will rhceive cash Co. th e amount of one dollar per d a . fi r tin excess , Other veterans get insurance po licies. The value of the policy is de termined as follows: The verteran is ailowed one dollar for every day of domestic service a- bove the original six ty ,; and $125 for each day of foreign service. This sum, not to .exceed $500 for domes tic service and $625 for foreign'ser vice, is multiplied by an arbitrary figure depending age of the veteran There is little difference in this figure, which; averages about 2 5 . So the maximum insurance policy would be about $1,250 for home ser vice. At the end of two years, the veter an can borrow up to 90 per cent of the value of his policy. If he fails to repav. he forfeits his insurence certificate»and the governm ent with interest. Provision is made -for a sinking fund which at the end of. 20 years will^paV up’all the policies. Benefits of the bills are Iimiten to enlisted men and officers up to the grade of captains.of the arm y.—Ex. Shut U p D arn You.

But W lnton was fighting for Sheila— Sheila, whom the next flash showed standing, quivering with fear, upon the opposite edge. “Go back I” Winton shouted to her. Bven the utterance m eant some in finitesimal diminution In the 'concen tration of his muscles and will. In an Instant he felt that De W itt had him at an advantage. Tbe Dutchman's savage face was thrust Into-his.'own, his breath was hot on his cheek: He felt himself bend backward, he grasped at nothingness; he fell, dragging his enemy after him. W ith a convulsive effort he caught at and <flung to the projecting ledge- His feet felt for a hold. De Witt, who had evidently emptied his re volver, brought down the butt on Win- ton’s bands. , Wlnton clung with des peration. ' Across the chasm he heard Sheila screaming, and the lightning flashes, which were almost continuous, showed hiin her figure with hardly per ceptible Intervals of darkness. De W itt was leaning, forward over the chasm, his feet planted upon the edge, striving to detach Winton- from his perilous hold. Again and again the revolver butt came down. Winton heard a bone In hts w rist splinter. He let one hand go,' swinging out over tbfe chasm. De W itt, bracing himself against the wall, was pushing with ail MS.,strength. . Suddenly W lnton remembered a school trick. If he should let himself go, De W itt's own Impetus would carry him after him. -Could he swing free' and catch the opposite bank in fall ing? ' H e could hold on no longer. Open ing his bruised hand, he plunged down ward and forward. By a miracle he found tbe edge of the chasm on the outer side Of the cave. He swung there dizzily. H e drew himself up ward. , At the same Instant' he beard De W ltt fall forward. ' The Dutchman clawed at the rocks, missed, them, struck W lnton; and with a scream that echoed above the thunder he went hurtling down to death. . , - It was seconds before the distant; thud of the body upon the rocks be neath the gorge told Wlnton that De W ltt would trouble Sheila no more. ’ Wlnton reached the cave, stood up, and caught Sheila In his arms. She was fainting, her Ups sought his own feebly; then her head dropped on his shoulder.' By the next flash of lightning Win- ton measured the gap, He could al most straddle it; could he, bearing Sheila, make , tbe leap? He hesitated. - Then, with, wild, yells, the Hotten tots, who' had heard De W itt’s cry, came swarming np toward the en trance.of the cave. »■ ' . . Vfiatoa measured the distance with his eyes and leaped. It was a terrific jump for a-m an carrying an uncon scious woman In his arms. 1 He tot tered upon the opposite edge, but did not-toll. The- Hottentots were just entering Qie cave. Winton. crouching behind the ledge, saw them ' stare about them in amazement. 'H e saw that the narrow orifice wid ened behind him into a larger cavern. An enormous boulder, hanging from the roof,- poised like a rocking-stone upon a,sm aller one,' partly concealed the.approach. A t'once an Idea, born of- his- desperate situation,- came to‘- Wlnton. , If he could dislodge the stone he could effectively bar the Hot tentots Drom following hlml H e set Sheila down and put bis shoulder against the- boulder. It stirred, it rocked, It resumed its posi tion. - ' Another , flash—and he w as seen. Telling, the Hettmitots rushed forward. The foremost, saw the chasm and hesi tated. Then- Winton, putting forth all his strength, shifted Qie stone. It fell, bringing down a shower of debris from the roof of the cave. -WIn- toh stumbled among the rattling, stones, and,! catching up Sheila, stag gered' along the passage. But he turned as' the succession of thunder ous crashes ceased, and waited for the next flash. ‘ None came, and he heard not the. least sound: from the Hotten tots behind him. • After a full minute^Winton struck a match. To his amazement he saw, by the little light, that the passage behind him was completely obliterated. The fall of- the stone had brought down a miniature landslide AU traces of the entrance beneath the mountain had vanished., No light, no Bound could penetrate. Winton - tried to strike another match. But the box was damp, and the slight flame fizzled out Immedi ately. He tried another and another with like result He sat down quleUy at Sheila’s side, Later, he -thought wearily, he wouM feel his way onward In. the darkness."1 •Now, worn out by the day and by his struggle, he -had an intense ,desire to sleep ; ** He* heard SheUa sigh and put Ms u n i about h e r. I “We are safe, dearest I” he said, and tried, to make his tone as hopeful as one could who was trapped In the bowels of . the earth. She put her arms about him in a m annerf indicative of complete confi dence. And, with Sheila beside him, Winton felt that notMng mattered.

That was where Winton made his second wrong guess that day. The man was not wMte but coal-black; he seemed to blacken the air around him within the distance of an aureole.

An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance' Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason why eo many applicants for insurance are re jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect, that they have the disease.

Various medicines have been recommended for this disease and recently the ipecac treatm ent has received a great deal of publicity in liopes that it might be the long-sought-for cure. Up to the present time I can locate no cases in our section where tha ipecac treatm ent has given results suridently good enough to prove that it Is definitely beneficial, says a writer in the Indiana Farm er's Guide. This being the case, I feel thkt turkey breeders must still rely on the old methods of preventing disease and not depend upon medicines. Inbreeding must be avoided as It often results in weak poult's which are subject, to a disease like blackhead. Breeding from m ature stock seems to produce more resistant poults than' those ‘from young breeding stock. Turkeys that range with farm poul try of all kinds seem more apt to have hlackliead as they are often scratch ing In the dirt of the other birds. Plenty of sour milk In the turkey ra tion seems to help the poults to resist blackhe&d. The sour milk Is not. a cure but it does stimulate a rapid, vigorous growth and this In turn helps to keep down dlgestive dlsorders whlelf might weaken the poults. and make them subject to blackhead. It is difficult to raise poults on land where blackhead has been prevalent and some breeders have' cleaned up their premises by ceasing to raise tur keys for a year or two. Then tljey ob tain dean' breeding stock and* have better success. At present there are many farm ers' who might have, good success with turkeys because none of the birds have ranged on their farm for live or ten years or more and the ^oll is probably entirely free from the disease; Profit Made in Guinea Broilers and Roasters The guinea hen is a good layer, but on. account of the wild gamey flavor, the eggs have never had an extensive sale for table use. However, to turn these eggs Into • young broilers or, roaster^, a considerable profit will be derived! Tlie flesh ls' the nearest sub stitute we have for the wild game. ' Tiie guinea Is of a roving disposi tion, and one of the best known de stroyers of Insects. ' The laying season starts In early- April arid continues until October, the hen laying as many as 120 eggs In a season. In the early- part of tlie season It Is not advisable to let the guinea lien hatch a brood, as she Is of too restless a nature, and will not give her young the proper attention. But after, the first of July, on account •of the warm Tveather, she will be more quiet, and she can be safely entrusted with a brood. It requires four "weeks to hatch / out guineas. The hen always hides her nest, and that, too, In some obscure place. As .they come off the nest they give a shrill cry, and In this way their hiding place can be detected. AU the ■hens'1 of. a flock are apt. to Iayt-In one nest, and In taking away, these eggs they should not be touched with the hands, for If the hen discovers that the nest lias been touched she will desert It and limit another place. But If', the eggs are removed with a stick she will not leave the nest, even if the eggs are taken out nearly every day. Ov^rcrowding~Is One of < Most Common Mistakes Overcrowding Is one of the most common m istakes. made In growing chickens. Overcrowding of the baby chicks usually corrects Itself by the simple method of the chicks dying from day to day until the number that' can be accommodated with air Is left. Any condition'that deputes the vital ity of the chick is apt to b.rlng on a looseness of' the bowels. "All cases of diarrhea are not the. in fectious white, diarrhea; many of them could have been prevented by provld- Ing more room for ’the chicks; the 'diarrhea Is merely an evidence Ot over crowding. . 1SVhen Ihe. young stock have readied the sex-conscious age, the sexes should be separated. Separation of the sexes promotes the growth, of each. Wet Feeds for Chicks A few breeders say they have good results with wet feed rfor baby chicks.

O F B y E D W A R D W . P I C K A R D Cleveland, Ohio.—Calvin Coolldge’s Bntlonnl convention has been held, and It will go down in political history as the quietest, smoothest, most peaceful a f f a i r of the kind ever pulled off .In this country, unless one excepts Wood row Wilson's convention In St. Louis eight years ago. And this gathering of the Republican party really was Mr, Coolidge's convention, here to do just what he wanted done and' not to do the things he did not want done. ’• Mr. Coolidge wished to. be nominated for President to succeed himself. He was nominated. He wished to have for n running mate a man who could be relied on to hold for the ticket the support of certain elements of the party whose allegiance It was feared was weakening. The name below Cool idge's at the head of this column shows that this wish was complied with so far as the possibilities per mitted. Mr. Coolidge selected for temporary chairman of the convention Congress man Theodore E. Burton of Ohio and told that gentleman whnt his views were on all the mooted public ques tions of the day—If he did not already know them—and Mr. Burton In his keynote speech faithfully reproduced > all those views. Mr. Coolidge chose for permanent chairman Frank W. JIimdell of Wyoming, because as vice ohalrmsn of the W ar Finance corpora tion which has loaned much money to agricultural Interests Mr. Mondell might be considered acceptable to the rather disgruntled farmers. So Mr. Mondell presided over the convention after the opening of the second ses sion. * Mr. Coolldge had positive opintops concerning the platform on which he would have to stand during the cam paign, so out of all the planks fash ioned by the numerous Interests that sought to have a hand In the building of that platform, were carefully picked the ones that conforrned'strlctly with these opinions, and all the rest were thrown into the discard by the resolu tions committed -headed by Ambassa dor Warren, who was Mr. Coolldge’s selection for the place of chalrtaan. No reflection on President Coolldg« nor on the-ltepublican party Is Intend ed In recording this seeming dictation hv the Chief Executive. The condi tions not only Justified It but m a(t it inevitable. The rank and file Of' the party had, In the selection of In structed delegates, made known Its firm intention to nominate Mr. Cool ldge, and the political and legislative events of recent months made It evi dent that his preferences and opinions must be put above all else. Tem porary Chairman Burton gave expres sion to this when he said In his ad dress: "With some disappointment, as one whose public service has been 'i In a legislative position, truth compels- me to say that by far the greater share of our citizenship looks to President Cooiidge rather than to congress for leadership.” , The outburst of cheering fIint greeted this, the first spontaneous applause of the convention, proved that *h“ ?reat mass of the delegates agreed vlth It. • ‘ . I ■ S ig n ific a n t C h a n g e s Outside the convention"hall, In the rooms where the various. state delegn- tlons met to organize and name their representatives on the committees, another mandate of the mass of 'the Party was carried out., The old line leaders were relegated to the rear and the management put Into new hands. Thus the Massachusetts delegation took its chairmanship away from Sep- ator Lodge and gave It tos Governor Cox1 nnd the man who h a d /o r so long dictated to the Bay state Republicans 1fBs not even put on the platform com mittee. The efforts of H arry Daugh erty's Wends In the Ohio delegation to rehabilitate him came to naught when Maurice Ma^chke was chosen as na- tlonal committeeman, Senator Wlllls 88 chairman of the delegation and Simeon I). Fess was put on the com- inlttce on resolutions. So it went, not ,B all the delegations, but In enough to show that a revolution In ' party management was wifjer way: Seimtor '•■otlge was as suave and smiling aS *-r«r, and as tired looking, but his smile hf"l a touch of bitterness, -and many Mother former lender was 'In the ™mps as he saw his power fading away. There was bat l one '< discordant inent In the ' convention—the LaFol- lette delegation from Wisconsin. AU but one - of- Its meinbehi were sele’cted to vote for the Badger senator and to, present to the platform committee the planks representing his views. Their action of course was known far In advance and so was discounted, but to som e-of the members of the party it was no less ominous. They, got Into action early with a set of resolutions of which the following Is a synopsis: ; Housecleanlng pledged. Monoply—crush, not foster. Recover oil preserves. Vigorous prosecution of grafters.- Bevlse public domain legislation. Publicownership of water power. Super wafer power systemsi • Public control and conservation of natural resources. Bepeal Esch-Cummlns-law. Make rates ori prudent. Investment and cost of service. Ballroads—public ownership, final solution. - Beduce federal taxes. Curtail the 800 millions now spent annually for the army and navy. -Recover w ar stealings.' Collect foreign loan Interest' Oppose Mellon tax plan. Amend Constitution to permit a re enactment to supersede a’ Judicial veto. Beduce tariff. Promote co-operation between pro ducers and consumers. Reduce freight rates for farmers. Abolish Injunctions in labor disputes. Grant cash bonus to ex-soldiers. Provide Great Lakes waterway. Amend Constitution to provide for di rect nomination and election of Presi dent, federal initiative and referendum and referendum on war. Revise Versailles treaty to comply with term s of armistice, promote trea ties to outlaw .w ar, abolish conscrip tion, reduce armaments and guarantee: referendums on peace and war. There were some other planks, but these are enough to Indicate the kind of n platform Senator LaFollette de manded. He and everyone else knew they would be ^turned down by the committee and rejected by the con vention. so no one was surprised or shocked when that was done.. But upon such a ’platform, It was assumed, LaFollette would stand' as an Inde pendent candidate for the Presidency. W hat would be the effect of,his candi dacy was naturally a fruitful topic of discussion among the delegates and other visitors. M a n y W o m e n D e le g a te s Women were prepared to play a conspicuous part In the convention. There were more th^n 600 delegates and. alternates of the gentler sex, near ly'every state giving them place In Its delegation. Even, far a^ay Hawaii sent one—Princess David Kawnnan-- akon—and she was made an associate member of the national committee, In social usage she retains her title, but she is said- to be thoroughly one of the people and a power among the Re publican voters of the Islands. •Temporary Chairman Burton over looked the women when he wrote his address and had the advance copies printed, but he noticed the omission and Interpolated a graceful paragraph warmly welcoming them to the Party1S councils. They were ready to do their share of the work, but really there was nothing much for them to do. It had all been arranged - beforehand, and some of them were a bit peeked. They had a. lot of pet Ideas, but only a few of them,- notably Mrs. A. Ti -H ert ,of Kentucky, were seriously consulted by the men who formulated the program. Mrs. Medill McCormick, wife o,f the ' senator from Chicago,. said: 41They have steam rollered the whole thing nicely. Those who are going to be elected have everything to say about the convention and the appointments and activities', and those who are elect ed and hold party office have nothing to say and can only go hack home and work for the Campaig1U." This w as. Iaiigely true at the time it was said, but a few hours later the men gave their sense of fair play a chance and accorded to the women equal participation In party manage* ment by giving them full membership, on the national committee. Five of the most prominent of the ladles went before the committee on rules and or der of business a n d -pleaded that the example set by the Democrats four years ago should be followed. Two or three of the men were obstinate, but the . majority of the. committee yielded and their report on this m atter was adopted by the convention-with nearly every woman In the hall stand ing and shoutlilg as loud as she could. Another th in g 'th is committee did, which also was approved by the con vention, was to /reduce the delegate representation o f'th e southern states which always go Democratic., The convention of 1920 directed the nation al'com m ittee to work this reform, but It had refused to obey. In this con vention there was no outspoken oppo sition to the change. To make it ,more binding, an additional member of the national committee was given to each states that exceeds a-given Republican Vote -In the last preceding najlonal election. G e n u in e E n th u s ia s r h k ito tell In detail the story of the con vention would be superfluous; to read It would be tedious. But It hid Its high lights and Interesting phases. Regular attendants on such gatherings always are on the lookout for: “ova tions” and outbursts of enthusiasm frequently are suspicious of the gen uineness o f such demonstrations. The fitet 'session, however,, witnessed sev eral that were -undoubtedly genuine. The first came tow ard the close of Tem poriry Chairman Burton’s speech: when- he first mentioned President -Coolifige by' name; • It really i^ftgn’t- B0-.much the;:-mention _ of, the CALVIN COOLIDGE aame that .evoked loud and long cheer ing as what Mr. Burton said. This was It “With some disappointment, as one whose public service has been In a leg islative position, truth compels me. to say that by far the greater share of our citizenship looks to President Cool- idge rather than to congress for lead ership.” -All over the great public hall dele gates and spectators rose to their feet to applaud this statement, and even Kiuny of the senators and representa tives who have set themselves In op position to the President over and over again joined In the hand-clapping. Another demonstration that seemed real was the ovation given Secretary of the-Treasury Andrew Mellon. Dur ing the formalities of completing tht temporary, organization he. rose from, the mldsti of the Pennsylvania delega tion to make a trlflling motion. Al once the convention burst Into almost wild cheering and the ■ secretary was; compelled to mount to the'platform and acknowledge I t The man who runs the country’s finances might well feel flattered by the reception given him. Just after thls ineldent a bit of real sentiment was Injected Into the pro ceedings. The. chair announced that there was- present the- sole surviving, member of the Republican convention that nominated Abraham. Lincoln for the Presidency—-Addison G. Proctor of S t Joseph, Mich. The venerable gen tleman was led to the front and the cheering host arose to greet him, and listened with respect to his brief re sponse. , T h at "Congressman Burton In his keynote speech accomplished with great skill, a difficult ,task was admitted by all. H e could not entirely overlook the breach that has existed between the' administraflbn' and' congress, nor could he be too emphatic In placing the blame for it. But he recognized the change that was coming over the party management and gaye th^ Presi dent full measure of praise. At the same time he said, little that could of fend the- most sensitive of those Re publican members of congress who have been In opposition to the admini stration's policies. , •; N o m in a tin g C o o lid g e • An easier , task, and no less admir- 'ubly performed was that which fell tt the lot of the 'other Burton—Marlon Leroy, president of the University ot Michigan. As his friends- of many years!-standing he, was chosen by Mr. Coolldge to make -the nominating speech on Thursday, and no more elo quent . and sincere speech has been beard In a national convention. .It was not flowery nor was it political. It was a sympathetic setting forth' of the qualities of Mr. Coolldge as the speaker conceived them ,.a heartfelt tribute to his character, his stem uprightness and honesty, his unfaltering courage and his capacity for the leadership of his party and his country. “My function, is to present the than," said Dr. Bur ton. “The emphasis must be Just there. My primary task does not con cern politics, nor platforms .as such. Anyone will fell you he is ‘one of us’ and he Ial. In Jseeplng with his reai qualities I shall make no effort to. exalt him lor he does not need It. He Is not a superman a id would be the. last to think so. There is not a -trace; of show' or ostentation about him for he does nothing merely, for appearance. He may be an exam ple'but he would never set-one.” •; A little iater 'Dr. Burton said: “He has moral fibre. To me It Is his dis tinguishing characteristic. There Is f> pioral grandeur.'about him 'which does Wedit to Ajnsrican , life. You simply capnot think of him as soft or-flabby. •He aims actually to do what he knows he ought to do.” !.And again: “In the largest.sense of the. term he Is a pa tient1 m an.. Re knows that time will do ItS perfect work, He ins.tinctlve]y rakes-.the long look.' He. niakes a calm, unhurried, steady approach to the tasks of life. No one cfin throw him into a .panic, for he sees steadily and sees it as a whole. He canriot>-pIease every one. ,Therefore some, for. the time, be come- hostile and - critical. This man, ln-;« very .remarkable' way, takes his punishment-quietly and silently.” G u a r d s ^ th e F u tu r e Continuing, Doctor Burton said, In part: ! “At times he must oppose what ap pears to some "as an unqualified'good, because he recognizes its temporary benefits and sees in the distant future that it must work an evil to society. Through all such experiences he walks with the spirit of human understand ing. ^H e knows that time will heal the hurt. His sense of time explains the thoroughness, of his work and his Intolerance for superficiality. He must have the facts as first hand and will not base decisions on a partial knowl edge of the situation. He will not be hurried. He avoids extremes and loves proportion. ''L ife does not consist of detached unrelated events. It Is a unity welded together by the alchemy of time. He knows how to wait and not be .tired by waiting. When he acts you know he will not be Impetu ous, because he takes time to think to the soul of things. Democracy, In her careless blundering .confidence, Is In dire need of such leadership. “Has he a, sense’ of humor? Em phatically yes. It Is not the type that wastes -time* in ,recounting - incidents of-ever increasing triteness. There is an alertness about his mind and a ■nimblenes of his (spirit which are very attractive. These qualities'do nof ex press themselves'In just the ordinary forms. At times you might Imagine be had. not even .heard what was being s"ald. Then he drops a remark which makes you realize that he has taken several steps In advance and has put his finger on the real point. He Is not given to hilarity. ‘ His humor, is dry and delightful and Its expression as a rule Is just as sententious as his more serious utterances. “Beneath the characteristics we :-have: mentioned lies something which one naturally hesitates to drag out into the light There arfe some things too sacred for'public parade, even though a man belongs to the people. When you'find a man, however, with qualities such as we have sketched! you' Inevitably ask - Hor the secret W hat1Is the dynamic back of this moral fiber, this bitter self control, this sense of the value of things, this instructive understanding of work, this quiet patience with the ages? 'iIt Is his ,sense, of the spiritual. No ,one can read his-speeches without realizing, that to him religion Is essen tial to life. ' I am speaking In -the broadest and -most, comprehensive terms. I am not discussing theology 'but religion." There are' at -least :a few fundamental, spiritual .realities which are- the common possession of men. He. firmly believes religion to be neces sary to the ideals of America. “He asserts , that ‘most of all there is need of religion. From that source alone- came freedom. Nothing else touches the; soul of man. Nothing else justifies faith In the people.’ Tolera tio n -In religion is among pur most 'notable, achievements In this country. The vitaL. realities of • religion alone can satisfy- the deepest needs of the' human spirit It is reassuring to know that this, m an Relieves In a personal. lPower greater'than man-; In emergen cies, with Washington and Lincoln', he will know Vthat the Issue lies In another hand.f- -■"Here, then, Is the man. He follows ■right, and truth to their logical conclu sions.’ He gathered it all up In an ad dress he delivered a year ago. at. a col lege commencement - He said, lWe do •not need m orenatIonal development, we need more -spiritual development, We do not need more intellectual power, we need more moral power. Wo de not' heed more knowledge, we need more -character.-. Wfr do not need more' gov ernment, we need mofe culture. We do not need more law, we need more religion. We do not need, more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen.’J “W hat America must learn is pre cisely w h ar this man is saying, so clearly and forcefully. It has a - ring, to. it which will permeate the world. He haa bden successful In politics, be cause he has been simply and unan swerably honest. The hardest thing In the world to dsfeat is sheer charac ter. '' Some American politicians still have a great lesson to leartf. Tbfi first mark of a public servant Is not solely the-desire to know what the .people want,-but the -purpose? to. help the peo ple want What they ought tp have.. “It is not too much to affirm that the people ,of the .United- States have Intense longings which they do not en tirely understand and which by the very terms of the problem they cannot focus and express.- I believe this man does comprehend these Intense yearn ings of the people and that quletty and -persistently he Is putting them forth In sharp, Incisive -itterances. ’ . . R a t e d a s “ C o n s e r v a tiv e ” “In America we have' the curious practice of classifying men. We at tempt to 'p u t labels on them and Im agine that thereby we have settled something. W e-have unusual facility In this method because we rarely pause to agree on any definition of the terms. “As a InattervOf -fact lt Is not the meaning of the term that gives us con cern. It,is the;Implication'It'carries> Its flavor or its color.. We say a man Is a conservative, a liberal or a radical and for us the term carries praise or approbrlum, depending entirely upon our ..own point1 of view. Now, this man’s Americanism comes to lofty expres sion In what some have praised and others have criticized as his ‘conserva tism.’ Let us examine the actual facts. “H® uses the past for the future. He Is no mere^ worshiper of the past as the p ast It has meaning chiefly as a guide'for. the future. He recognizes dearly the evils of dead, congealed, conservatisms. His emphasis Is on the days to .come. He Is concerned chiefly about our tendencies. Therefore, he says, ‘We review the past, not In order that we may return to lt, but that we iiiay flnd In what direction, straight end clear, It points In the future- His is a sane forward-looking conservatism. “He does not concede that the pres ent clamor for change proves that our national principles are false or that our governmental organization Is weak. Changes must come. Every sane per son' recognizes that. The real question concerns the causes ot out discontent and the sources of our evil. Immedi ately to destroy existing institutions, because human ;fralltles continue to exist and human nature Is not speed ily, reformed. Is scarcely to- be called, wise leadership. To destroy Is jasy, but to achieve freedom Is hard. “In fact, he holds that there are gen uine grounds for optimism. It Is easy to complain and to overlook the great blessings of life. After all is said and done, America, more than any other country In the world today, offers real privileges and opportunities. He knows that progress will require hard unrelenting toll. To him a better future means continuous struggle'and presents a constant challenge. He Is no day dreamer, for- he knows the stem realities of a work-a-day world. We cannot legislate mankind Into ia state of perfection. , - Here Is Dr. Burton’s closing para graph, which was the - signal, for- a mighty outburst of cheering that lasted for ciany minutes: “As self-respecting Individuals, we -can trust this man. As lovers of Am erica we can, follow one who is su premely American. As citizens with interests as broad as humanity we can accept his guidance Into a new and larger world, leadership because he Is at heart a human being. To the na tional convention of the greatest party in American history, I have the dis tinction to present' as .candidate! to succeed himself as President of the 'United States of America, the virile man—the staunch American—the real human being—Calvin Coolldge.” - The first ballot for vice president showed Lowden In the ,lead, with ,Bur ton, Dawes, Hoover and Kenyon fol lowing closely. On the second ballot the convention turned t<y Lowden and he was unanimously nominated. In a . telegram to the convention the former governor of Dlinois absolutely refused to accept the nomination. After a three-hour recess another ballot was taken and before'It was finished Dawes was so far .In the lead over Hoover that the nomination was made unanimous amid the wildest en thusiasm. • So, with the swift nomination-.,of Coolldge on the fitst ballot and the naming of his running mate, after a few remaining form alities'the national' Republican convention of 1924 passed into history.' ;Thft Cpnvention City .'Too much cannot be said in praise of the way In which the city of Clever land did Its part In ,making, the con vention pleasant and successful. First an.d most Important, It provided Public -hall, the finest place'-In which a na tional convention has ever been .priv ileged to m eet excepting that In which the Democrats gathered In Sail Fran cisco In 1910, Public hall colt th*| people of Cleveland $6,300,000 and is located In the heart of the downtown ’ district convenient to the hotels. Ita architecture is beautiful .and It seats 16,000 persons.. W ithin its walls are all the conveniences that the builders could think of, and ,Its stage Is the largest In the country. - Then there are the hotels, ample In number and well conducted. ' Their managers looked after the comfort of the city’s guests In every possible way and, what Is more to the point, rates were kejft well within reason. , . Cleveland seems to have more auto mobiles than any other city , In' the world In comparison with the popula tion, but the. able and well-trained traffic police protected the life and limb of the convention visitor In a way that elicited the admiration of all. No one was permitted 'to get himself run over, . whether or not he' wished to do so. - Local committees, social organiza tions and Individuals arranged . pro grams of entertainment to fill up the hours when the convention was not In session, and many of the men and women visitors were accommodated by the various golf dubs. There were theater parties, boat rides, band con certs, fireworks and other things ga lore. Special teas and receptions were given for the woman, and a-program for colored visitors was provided. The m atter of providing excitement was up to the representatives of the party, who had none to provide. The crowds in the hotel lobbies, when they were not occupied In the discussion ot that elusive subject, the. vice presiden tial candidate, gossiped with old and new acquaintances and amused them selves by picking but from the passing MO -fen © C H A R L E S G . D A W E S . throng the notables. They Had no trouble .In recognizing the dome-like head of Secretary of W ar Weeks, nor the bronze face of Bascom Slemp, sec retary to President Coolldge;- the genial homeliness of Joseph B. Keal- Ing of Indiana and the Llncoln-Uke physiognomy of Lawrence Y. Sherman of Indiana could not be mistaken. Young Theodore Roosevelt,- assistant secretary of the navy, aroused mild In terest as he wriggled through the crowds, but eyes did not follow him as they did his father. - • Always In a national convention the music Is an attractive feature, and this Cleveland gathering was no excep tion. The big brass band In the hill was led by John Philip Sousa himself, and every American knows what that means: In .the ball is a magnificent pipe organ, which was magnificently played at frequent Intervals. The flood. lights of the hall, 'lPlaln and colored,” were used with discretion and art dur ing the playing \of the NatlonalAnthem and other patriotic airs. From Colum bus came a.large Republican glee dub, which sang n o t only In the convention hall but at the Coolldge headquarters -of the Women an£ elsewhere. ’ Humorous writers of wide reputa tion have become an established part of these national party meetings, and they were more numerous In Cleveland than ever before, and perhaps less hu morous. WIU Rogers, Heywood ,Broun, Ring Lardner and a score more were here looking for material for Jokes. !PRINCIPAL POINTS IN G. 0. P.

Fully 2,000 per sons from Elizabethtown, Johnson City and other towns in vicinity of the flooded area tonight were picking their way through debris along the banks of the W atauga and its tributaries searching for the remaining seven lost bodies. The bodies found were those of Xxiu Lewis aged four years, and her baby sister, aged four months, children of Cecil Lewis, who is now in a hospi tal here with two of his sons as a re sult of injuries received when they were carried away in the whirling tor rents of the flood. The bodies of the two small girls were found buried in sand and rub-' bish on the banks of the W atauga half a mile from their home. Only a wisp of the older girl’s ' hair was visible when her body was located. The bodies of Mrs. Lum Smith, her seven-year-old son, and Mae Eliss1 a six-year-old girl whose body was kept from following the flood by her dress catching in a barbed wire fence, were found Saturday. The bodies yet unfound are those of Mrs. Cecil Lewis, wife o fthe mail ot that name in a hospital here with two sons and mother of the two children whose bodies were found today on the banks of the Watauga, three other children aged 14, 8 and 10 years; Lum Smith, A. B. Irick and a .saw mill hand whose name had not been learned. Iriclc also was. a mill hand and it is thought possible that he might be the unknown man. In that case the number of dead will be reduced to 11.' i • ' Railroad crews hastened to the scene following reports of the . flood and were toiling to repair damaged trackage on the Appalachian division of the Southern railway. About 14 mile of the railroad’ lines between Hunter and Butler will have to be re placed; torrents from the mountain coves having swept away fills, tres tles and bridges, as a giant broom sweeping rubbish, before it. Other sections of the division are strewn . with uprooted trees, brush, earth and boulders. . . . Similar havoc was played with the Laurel Fork railway in the Hampton Braemar Section, four or five miles to the west. Reports coming from the flooded area, which is about eight miles wide and 15 miles loiig, indicate ttia* a score of houses, barns and mills were washed away. Most of these build ings were at Carden’s Bluff and Fish Springs, small villages on the bank of the W atauga. Major Dix, of the Southern division of the Red Cross, arrived )it the scene of the flood and immediately be gan an investigation. j Noted Pugilist Killed New York.—William (Bill) Brennan, promient heavy-weight boxer,- was shot and killed in the Tiajana cabaret, of which he was the proprietor.

New Yibrk--The. population of the United States increased 1,943,- 000 during 1923, according to esti mates announced by the national bureau of economic research. On ’January I, 1924, the total popula tion was 112,826,000, the 'bureau’s figures show. In the latter half of 1923 a net increase of 1,162,000 was recorded. This was the greatest growth for a six months’ period In the na tion’s history, the bureau’s report states. The unsual increase is attribut ed to the heavy excess of immi gration over emigration and the lowest death rate which ever pre vailed during a similar period in this country.

Upham, chief engineer of the North. Carolina highway com mission, stated that the proposition will more than likely come before the Pan-American road' builders’ conven- vention In Buenos AIres next,year. -\ “I am sure that several hundred Am ericans. will be in attendance, in cluding a large delegation from North Carolina,” Mr. Upham said. “There has developed during the visit of our South American friends a closer un derstanding between America and her neighbor to the south, because the men comprising the-visiting party are lead ers in their own countries. “I understand that the national rela tors suggested--the'international high way linking , the • two continents through, the medium .of a resolution. Quite naturally every republic through which the highway would pass would finance its portion of the road.” As m any/w ho have, been traveling with the ,road builders through North Carolina discontinued their journey here, there were many expressions of good will and felicitations from both the South Americans and. their North American hosts.

According to the very figures gathered by the Journal of Com merce, the tariff of 1922 has pfoved a success. Business has improved, and the textile industry, especially the cotton manufacture industry in the South, • has improved. - It is. better t li-jii for several years. In the face of these facts, how cm a Inihiness man and especially a iiiiiiuifaci urer, in the South, favor free trade or a low tariff? Protec tion lias already proved its value to the cotton goods m anufacturers of the South. There’s No Telling.

N otw ithstanding we have the pro hibitiou am endm ent, the Volstead statu tes and all, the party prohibi tionists continue to. try to function as a political paity. T he national Pro hibitiou party assembled at Colurn bus, O ., last week aud nom inated candidates for President and Vice- President, the latter being a woman by the way— Miss M ane C1. Brehm of Long Beach, California. In the old days, when both the m ajor par ties were very m uch under wet in fluence, one can understand the" reasoning of the zealous prohibi tionists -for a seperate partv, al: though it can’t be said that thev accomplished best results that way. B ut now th at all they ever hoped for has been accomplished, the rea son for m aintaining a separate or ganization does not appear. It never did am ount to ■ very much force politically andiiow it am ounts to nothing. But if the party pro hibitionists get any satisfaction out of m anning candidates for Presid ent and Vice President they can have it for all of us. It would seem, however, tnat they would get better results by w orking within the m ayor parties to see that none but the faithful are placed o t guard. V oting as a seperate unit they may in som e cases help to bring about the very thing they w ant to pre vent—the election of wet members of Congress —Statesville Daily.

Secretary Hughes, in the note which,! he prepared with - utm ost care ex, presses pleasure over the “friendli ness and candor" of the protest com munication delivered to him by Am bassador Hanihafa, May 31. “You may be assured of the readi ness of this government to1 consider in the same spirit the views you have set forth,” Mr. Hughes added. The notq then analyzes'the exclu sion provision applicable to all alienB Ineligible for citizenship as it is modi-1 fled by the exceptions'contained In the act and points out: “It will be observed that, taking these . exceptions into account,' the provision in question does not, differ; greatly in its practical operation.- or in the policy.- which it reflects, from the understanding embodied In the gentlemen’s agreem ent under which the Japanese government has co-oper ated with the government of the Unit ed States In preventing the emigra tion of Japanese laborers to this coun try.” ' U. 8.

ZMFS /JT THE BLACK HILLS COLD RUSH; • Sciisors whipped out a pair of scissors-and a piece of paper, •and, squinting at Bandy Allen, began cutting the paper with mar velous rapidity. He held the scissors in one position, working the blades, and turning the paper back and forth and in half-circles in a most bewildering manner. "The Sioux call me Two Knives Talking—cash scissor blade is a knife to them, you know," he explained in a singsong voice as he whirled the paper. -• Dinsdale studied him with much sympathy. He was a slight, washed-out looking specimen, and his face was vacuous. He had all the appearances of one mentally unbalanced. Allen lowered- at him wrathfully, undecided whether to remain as ad accommodation to the artist or to withdraw. The men suddenly raised a shout of laughter, and Scissors triumphantly held up the result of his skill. It was an exceedingly clever caricature of Allen with the long, ragged hair and bow legs grotesquely accentuated. "Give me four bits for Hf" asked Scissors, ruffling his thin yellow hair and tentatively offering the picture to Allen. Roaring an oath, Allen ran his eye over the grinning faces’and dropped a hand on a gun. "Who's laughin' at mef' he demanded, advancing a few steps. The smiles vanished. Standing in front of Scissors, he drew back his fist to drive it into the simple face. Dinsdade stepped between the two and informed Allen: "I was laughing, too. I'm laughing now." And he grinned broadly. The men scattered. Alien reached for both gims, but with a flirt of his hand Dinsdale had him covered and was saying: "Better keep your hands out of mischief."

"Pay Gravel" it an unusual novel. I CHAPTER I { The Trail to Gold-Land All day the three horsemen' had traveled under a cold gray sky to awing farther away from the Baw Hide buttes and cross the Running- Water. Two days before, when leaving Fort Laramie, they had been thrilled by stories of Clieyenne being crowded with wagon trains-and wild with ex citement over the news from the Black bills. It hod seemed a fine thing to set out alone while others tarried for an escort of troops, or until ’ their numbers could defy Indian attacks. They had deemed It to be a simple maneuver, this slipping through hostile country, while Cheyenne and Sloux' were looking for bigger game. Every-hour the grades grew steeper and the country more nnlovely. Added to physical discomfort was the knowl edge that the worst was ahead. For In 167ft—and this was the first day of August In that lively year—although the country south of the North Platte was held by troops and was quite thoroughly mapped, all north of the river was So much uncertainty. ; To Peter-Dlqsdal'e, leading spirit of the three adventurers, it was new country, as Iie clalmed to be fresh from Arizona. Hfs- companions were direct from the EasL and their Ignorance ,was complete. '' One incident broke the. monotony of the afternoon's Journey—the meeting with a huge freight wagon: drawn' by six horses, On one side of the wagon was'painted': -.. "San Juan Joe's O ntfit Deadwood City, Deadyrood Guldt;? v ’/•; Inside,. sheltered Jrons the ! gusty rain, were five men,: each heavily ' armed.

He an nounced he was driving to Cheyenne to bring back a freight of Implements and supplies for the “sweilest gambUn' place” In the hills.

This was strenuously objected to, and he w as. reminded that Johnny Bow man’s ranch was across the creek. The hospitality p f; Jhevranch was fan}°us from the Upper Missouri to Cheyenne and Denver. - “Bowman’s It- Is then," agreed Dlng- dale, but without enthusiasm. ,“If we came up here to find a ranch the pro gram Is bully. But S we’re keen to get Info the/ hills we ought to take advantage of this weather and push on." It was evening before they reached the stopping .placA The horses knew the day’s, hard grind was over and whinnied their pleasure as - a ranch- hand appeared out: of the dusk to lead them to the corral. The travelers lost no time In- entering the popular way- statlon. There were only four guests Vs the house, If three'old frontiersmen In tattered buckskin, and grouped before the open fire, could be styled such. To the CdffliM- CJjfe they, were ,loungers rather ''tfian' 'transients. The * fourth man, tall and slender and’ of dark complexion, was dining-sumptuously at the long table on venison, worm bread and coffee. ,'. The',easterners, somewhat wild of eye, lingered-near the plainsmen, hun gry for authentic Information. The three1 old men. appreciating the gul libility of their' audience, lost no time in turning their lhiaginatlon loose in a patched-up recital of horrors. Dlnsdale Ignored their garrulous tales and gravitated, to the table. He observed and admirgd the rather Im- hmculate dress of th e dark-faced man. “Gnmblingmau and dandy,” decided DInsdale as he made: to/ seat himself d t'the end of- the fable.- The man glanced up, smiled pleas- antly and motioned for him to be more neighborly by kicking back the chair opposite his; Dtnsdale was glad to ac cept the Invitation. . “I’m Pete DinsdalA from Cheyenne; from. Arizona before that,” he in formed the other as he. shifted his place. “I’m called ‘San Junn* Joe. I have a place up In the hills.” - ‘ “Met your team going, o u t Saw your name , on ILC “I riusei dofirn . this far -with I t Found , my outfit back ydnderis too small to accommodate'the rush. - Must have another roulette wheel and more uxIngA- You're going. through!" “Starting- early In the m orpingr > ■ TMdn’t'fangy the stage?" 1 ‘ ' • B« ter chance to fight or nra.” :• ” D on’t- reefon your friM ds^w ffoK iSt to my Joining yenr partjT" ' ^ I ^ e y 1Il be tidtIed to death.4* ' " T w " * “be hangrfly fo» some .minutes, then remarked: , “Ton’d planned to go through' with the outfit or Just serving as guard this far?” "I’d hoped to meet a certain man here.

After satis fying bis hunger DlnsdaleTlghted his pipe and said: "I was keen to push -through In the darkness to the-Cheyenne river. My uiates didn’t' take to the Idea. But now that we’re, four—” “Go out In this weather?

The latter, . w hose: cornfields -'once grew along the Beilefourche, claimed a Vlcr tory over General Crook as the result of the June fight, on the Rosebud. Custer’s death a week later marked tha peak .of Sioux supremacy. Curiously enough lt was the federal government that started the gold rush to the,debatable hills by sending an expedition to confirm the many border stories about gold to be found there.

(Prepared by the United states Department of Agriculture.) Tests of the milling and baking qualities of wheat, rye and other grains are being made by the bureau of agricultural economics, United States Departnffent of Agriculture, at Washington In a milling and baking laboratory specially set up for that purpose. The work has played an Important part in fixing federal wheat standards, and in determining the mill ing and baking qualities of new va rieties of wheat. Determine Value of-Wheat The value of w heat'alm ost entirely depends on its milling and' baking quality, which «*an be-accurately de termined only through actual milling and baking tests, the department says. The milling is done on an experimen tal mill composed of four single stands of rolls of 6. by 6 Inches In size, and Including a small bok sifter. Tlie sys tem of milling used, although not al together comparkble-with that used In commercial milling, gives' results -that Indicate ms tru|y ,the.relatlvqm llllng. value of different wheats as tests made on commercial mills. Each sam ple Is analyzed for grading factors be fore being milled, the size of the sam ples being about four pounds each. The samples are prepared for mill ing on small cleaning and scouring machines patterned after those used In commercial mills, the system of milling employed differing from that of commercial mills mainly in that there Is no continuous or automatic flow of stock from one machine to ahbther. The system Includes five breaks and eight reductions, as made possible In some Instances by using the same ,.machine for two or. more operations. J Electric Equipment. The baking equipment Includes an electrically h'eated proofing cabinet, electric baking oven, dough mixer, and loaf volume measuring device. The sponge method of baking is used, all samples of flour being baked In du plicate, the average of the two tests representing the baking data. The same formula Is used In baking all samples, regardless of the class of wheat, with the exception of the quan tity of w ater added arfd the length of time used In proofing the dough. AU ,factors, such as ,tem perature of Uie oven, are constant so that any differ ences shown In the bread will be due to the flour and not to variations In manipulation o f - the formula and methods. The bread Is judged for eolor and texture of crumb one or two days af ter baking- These factors considered In connection with the w ater absorp tion of flour, the loaf volume, and' the weight of loaf determine the baking quality of the sample. Full details of the milling and' baking methods. and apparatus have Just been published In Department Bulletin 1187, entitled "Experimental Milling and. Baking.” Copies o f the.bulletln may be obtained free upon request to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Legume Roughages Are Most Weighty Factors When alfalfa hay Is worth $15 a ton, timothy hay Is worth only 86 cents a ton for dairy cows. This low value is due to its low protiln con tent, high percentage of fiber; low per centage of ash and lack of palatability. W henever it Is possible to do so, it pays to sell timothy and buy alfalfa In its place. Legume roughages are one of the most im portant factors In an economi cal dairy ration. They are palatable, and their high protein content makes It possible to balance a ration without the use of so much high-priced com centrates. They are also high In min eral content Alfalfa, red clover, soy beans and cowpeas rank In palatabil ity In the order named. When the greater portion of the leaves are saved 'In harvesting, soy beans and cowpeas rank above the others In protein and mineral content Alfalfa is generally placed at the head of the Ust of rough ages for dairy cows. Ifs value in the ration is often underestimated. If you were short of legume hay last winter, It is .time to plan the rotation so as to increase the supply this year. Guard Against Sore Necks Regardless of how well harness may At,' there is always danger of sores starting on the shoulders, neck and back. Once a sore starts, It Is ex tremely difficult to heaf so long as the horse must, work every day. A few minutes spent each half day cleaning collars and back ta d s will save time later. When lifting the collar to re move locks of mane, a glance will show If sweat and short hair is col lecting on the leather. Blfting the collar also cools the neck and shoul ders. ./ V, . “—1 / .

The list Ofi Countles, which is .con tained in a recent report issued by the bureau of animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, shows that the counties are located In the following states: Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, W est Virginia, Washington, Vermont, South Carolina and Nebraska. The activity of the various counties In live stock improvement work has been encouraged largely by county agents. Of the 34-counties having more than 100 farm ers enrolled In the "Better Sirew--Better Stock” campaign, eight of them each have m ore than 200 pure bred sire users.

An area of 2,000 or 8,000 square feet will produce a season’s supply of berries for the average family. For these reasons the strawberry bed is recommended by Prof. R. I. Barnett, horticulturist of the Kansas State Agricultural college, A few important suggestions for suc cessful strawbeiTy culture made by Professor Barnett follow: >- On the site chosen the soil should be almost as fertile as for. &’ vegetable garden. Rows may be as close as 36 inches and the plants, 15 inches apart In the row. Plants must be "maiden sets"—that is, runner-set plants of last summer, whichfhaye never borne fru it A strawberryVplant should have all 6ld Iqaves and all but two or three of its new leaves pruned off when set. The roots should be cut back to about two and one-half inches In length. Set a strawberry plant Just so-none of the roots are above thev surface of the ground and no soli covers the eye or growing, bod of tbe plant The soil should be pressed so tightly over the Well-spread-out roots that the plants cannot be pulled up by one leaf stem. Excelsior, Dunlap and Aroma are good home patch varieties which ripen In the order named. Superb or Pro gressive may be planted if qn ever bearing type of strawberry is desired. Experiments With Swine Feeding on Alfalfa Hay ■ In a test of methods of fattening pigs conducted by. the New Mexico station, using two-lots of 16 pigs each -on alfalfa hay, one lot was fed a full’ ration of ground milo maize and a small quantity of skim milk, while the other received a limited amount of these supplements. The first lot was ready for. Jnarket 30 hays earlier than the other. In another test with pigs on alfalfa hay, one lot was fed a-mlx- ture of milo maize and mesqulte beans (2:1), and the other lot had a full ration of ground milo maize. The re sults indicate that with pork at 10 cents a pound, ihilo.maize $1.50 per 100 pounds, and alfalfa hay 50 cents per hundred pounds, mesqulte beans are worth $1.30 per 100 pounds.
