In that case, fining and impri- soning'the accused, white just and salutary, will afford no more than sentimental . relief to the shorn. They have been punishing people for Swindling quite a while, and and the crime is by no means ex- tiuct. But tne morepublicity-there is about worthless .stocks the bet ter for simple, folks, prone to yield to get-rich-quick blandishments from smooth tongues. This is especially salutary in this western North Carolina environ ment, in this era. To be sure this sort of publicity proclaims to the crooks ,of- the- whole world that Western North Carolina has good pickings; but they know it, anyway. ■’Meanwhile, the forces of legiti-r ■jnate business should increase their u n ified efforts to led ucate 'riliafrpar j. of the public which, ueeds educa lion as to. the qualities-of_a safe in vestment. When an investment promises'a large return it is either a deliberate swindle, or there is an element of gambling in it. Thatis the general rule, to. which there are not many exceptions. People who make speculative investments ought at least to have - their eyes open to the fact that it is specula tive, and that the chance of loss is, on the average,-more than equal to- the chance of gajn. - - C oncerning D airying I n T b e Sogtb The South is; the most favored section of the.

An invitation was extended Mr.' Jamison to join the speaking forces of the LaFoiIette organization, ar,d he was asked to visit a- number, of industrial centers over the country >m a campaign for the progressive party. Mr. Jimison has the matter-^ under consideration, and if suitable arrangements can be made he will probably be heard in a number of States during the campaign.

MOCKSVILLE, N. C. W h ite G ru b P e s t Shows Increase Crop Rotation Is Important in Preventing Damage Done by Worms. . The common white grubs, also called ■'grub worms," are one stage of the moderately large brown beetle known as May beetle or June bug. The adult beetle feeds on the larvae of such trees as oak, ash, hickory, poplar, , elm, wil- low, walnut, locust and hackberry. The parent beetle emerges from the earth In the spring and deposits eggs In the soil from one to five inches deep and usually near gross or weed roots. The eggs are laid In May and June and hatch in about two weeks. The C0UDg grubs hatching from, the eggs are very small and for a while feed on organic or slightly decayed vegetable matter In the soil. Later these grabs will attack the roots of grasses or agri cultural crops which happen to be growing In the field. Feed Near Surface. During the growing season for vege tation and active season of the Insects, the grubs feed near the surface of the foil. At the approach of cold weather, the grubs begin to burrow downward to avoid freezing. Most of the common June bugs spend three years In developing from the egg to the adult beetle. The grubs usually change to the adult sometime during the second or third fall of their life period. The native food of the white grub Is grass roots In the meadow or pasture. Crops planted on sod land usually suffer severely from the attack of hordes of grubs for a period of two to three years. The white grtlb as a pest Is Increas ing Its damage to wheat In several lo calities. One of the best control meas ures where wheat Is to be grown is to. iunnner fallow, that Is, to plow the wheat land as soon as possible after harvest. (This is also a control for the Hessian fly.) Disk and harrow the. ground frequently and prepare a firm seed bed. Starve the white grub. Rotation Is Favored. KotatIon of crops is of great Impor tance In avoiding damage, by grab worms. Beetles do not prefer to de posit eggs In fields of alfalfa, clover, corn, strawberries, beans or potatoes. Bmall grains are usually less attacked than other crops except w heat Where practical, pasture the Infest ed fields with swine. Fall plowing, previous to the grubs going deep Into the ground, will help to rid the soil of many worms. Plow deep.—W. E. Jack- 600, Department of Entomology, Okla homa A. and M. College. Suggestions on Ricking : Com to Save for Seed ' In selecting the kind of corn to save for seed, a great deal depends upon the corn plant itself. If our seed com Is selected In the bln alone, this Im portant fact Is lost sight of. Now, most good growers save seed com from the good early-maturing plants, as they,are shucking out the corn at harvest The-ears from these superior plants are thrown into a box at the front of the wagon, and are kept separately, so that they will have the lest of opportunities to dry quickly. Then, In the winter, these growers se lect out the types of ears they want for seed. In this way their seed ears are all of the right type and very good plants. Seed ears should come from medium- sized plants, which stand up straight and which show good evidences of ma turing early. These plants should be tree from suckers and should be In av erage conditions as regards soil, mois ture, feed and light Ears should be leavy and of medium fair size.—Wgldo Kidder, Extension Agronomist Colo- ; rado Agricultural College. Improve Clover Yields by Use of Crop Rotation A mnn’s ability as a former may well e Judged by his clover fields, think Workers of the Ohio experiment sta tion. Large fields .of heavy-yielding clover Invariably Indicate a good rota tion and Intelligent soil conservation.' In order to get a good stand of clover, good seed well inoculated Is the rst consideration, say the Ohio men. ™cn use lime and phosphoric ad d If tne soli needs them. Finally; provide n abundance of vegetable m atter In c soil by using a short rotation. The Ohio experiment station started copping a 40-nere field tised for va- Tetv testing In 1894.

Cholera Loss More Than $27,000,000 Much Can Be Prevented by Proper Sanitation. (Prepsr* by IXpartm.uv ^ Hog cholera caused a loss of more than $27,000,000 to the' swine industry of the United States during the year ended April 80,1024, according to a re cent compilation by the United States Pepa^nellt of Agriculture. More than naif of the total loss occurred In the corn belt states, where hogs are espo* dally numerous. A comparison of the number of hogs, with the loss caused by cholera In each state, shows that the ravages of the disease are-approx imately In proportion to tbe*hog d o p u lation. - In computing the* losses from hog cholera, specialists of the bureau of animal Industry estim ate that 80 per cent of losses from all causes are due to this dread disease. Most of this loss can be prevented by the proper sanitation and the preventive-serum treatment. Bulletins giving full Infor- ihation on hog cholera, Its control and prevention may be obtained on request from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington. Colorado Potato Beetle Eradicated by Spraying The adult Colorado potato beetle, which Is about half an inch long, rounded, yellow In color, but striped with ten black lines, passes the winter In the ground. When the potato plants come up In the spring the beetles ap pear to feed on the leaves and to lay eggs. The eggs are placed In clusters on the under stde of the leaves and are conspicuous by their yellow color. In a week small, plump slugs hatch, which feed on the foliage for some three weeks, then enter the ground to pupate and about three weeks later emerge as adult striped beetles. A second generation follows the same cycle of . eggs, .grub, pupa and adult. Although thcSe Is much over lapping of the stages, the first genera tion of grubs is most abundant during July and August. It Is In the grab stage that most of the damage is done and, accordingly, a spraying w ith. poi son should be given to ward off their feeding. There Is Ho set time to spray and no set number of applications. Either arsenate of lead, one to two pounds to fifty gallons of water, or parte green, one-half pound to fifty gallons, will serve, but In the latter case care must be taken to keep the parls green well stirred while spray ing. Gathering the adult beetles by hand, especially In the early part of the season, will go a long way toward checking the insect—Washington Ex periment Station. " Simple Rule to Insure Profit From Home Garden Though the insect, fungus and bac terial pests that trouble garden, orna-: mental and orchard plants number among the thousands, they can be fair ly Well controlled even by the ama teur, says V. R. Gardner, of the Mis souri College of Agriculture. Fortunately, the am ateur .does not need to know all the pests by name to control them. Let him remember that most cankers, leaf spots, scabs, blights, wilts, mildews and rusts are the work of fungus or bacterial diseases and that Insects are of two main types— those that- eat holes and those that suck Juices through a bill—and he has a fair chance of diagnosing accurately the general cause of his trouble. Then let him remember that bordeaux mix ture Is a leading remedy for a consid erable percentage of the diseases, ar senate of lead for the chewing insects and tobacco In one form or another for the sucking insects; let him provide himself with these materials and with a good dusting apparatus or liquid sprayer for putting them on and he Is ready for the battle. Let him remem ber that a vigorous offensive Is often the best defense and take the battle into the enemy’s territory.

The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. 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 so 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. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is on Bale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this' great preparation, send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle.

ElephanVs Tusks The tusks of the elephant are mere ly projections of the incisors of the upper jaw and are never shed, al though they are sometimes broken off. In other words, the tusks are part of the elephant’s teeth. However, the milk teeth, which precede the tusks, come out at an early age. The tusks of the elephant supply the Ivory which Is so highly esteemed the world over for ornamental purposes.

McKeecy In the Dakota Farm er. Take them out' of the nest -the first night, pen them In a well-ventilated, well-lighted, slatted or wire-bottomed broody coop. Feed them plenty of good egg-making food, greea material and fresh w ater and see that they are released as soon as they lose the no tion and they will pay you for the trouble. It is a good idea to have a special color of celluloid leg bands for broody hens and put one on a , hen every time she goes broody. Sell the ones that .get bedecked like Flji lsland- ers' and use ones without any of these bands in the breeding pens next .year. It takes feed and time to produce /chicken blood," so' do not allow the mite to steal part of your income. A thorough spraying or painting of the roosts and nests in the poultry-house with some good coal tar disinfectant will pay dividends. Llce are irritants and keep the hen so busy fighting them that she has no time to work, so better kill them, too. Applying sodium finorid powder, pinch In fluffy feathers below vent, one under each wing and between body and legs aiid one on the back of the head should rid the bens of all lice but It will not kill the eggs. Re peat in about ten days when the eggs will' be hatched and no more laid. Another way to accomplish the same thing is to E ts one ounce of sodium fiuorid with each gallon of warm w a ter and dip each chicken, making sure that the feathers are all soaked to the skin. This must be done early on a warm, sunshiny day so that the hens will be dry before night Bepeat In ten days. Brooder Pneumonia Will Cause Loss of Chickens Heavy loss of young chicks is often due to brooder pneumonia, a disease caused by dusty or moldy litter, musty feed, or severe exposure. Brooder pneumonia Is sometimes associated with baclllary white diar rhea aSjthe symptoms of the two dis eases are much alike. The diseased checks often breathe with difficulty, i lungs are usually diseased,. and are found, upon opening dead birds, to be of a dark color and rather solid instead of light pink color and fluffy. About the only remedy is to remove the cause. Clean sand Is probably the best floor dovering for the brooder during the first two weeks, followed by a litter of some kind. Be especial ly careful that the litter is free from must or mold. Clover chaff If not dusty, or bright clean straw may be used. Standardized Product'Is - Gaining in Popularity It does not require any special knowledge or marketing skill to sell a standardized product but not even an expert can inarket, In a" satisfactory way, an ungraded product Farm ers and egg producers should keep In close touch with the movement now under way looking toward the grading and standardizing of eggs on a basis that will lessen the . losses Incident to the marketing of that product If a good standardized quality of eggs Is put upon the m arket it will tend to In crease the consumption of eggs and therefore strengthen the demand and consequently result In better prices and more profit to the producers.

London.-With the exception of one technical point, this relating to repar* jions tranters from Germany, the inter- uied conference reached complete sIre e m e n t on how the Dawes plan kould be made operative. The one •refunding difficulty, it is said, will Z cleared away and the allied pleni- ILntiaries have been summoned to T in plenary session at the British foreign offices in Downing street , to lass judgment upon the committee’s Lorts which are to be embodied in a protocol for signature by the Ger- 0 Rainsev MacDonald, the British.pre- Jjjier, as chairm an of the inter-allied c o n f e r e n c e extended an Invitation to (Se G erm ans to come to London as soon as possible. The mission from Berlin, however, is not expected to arrive before Mon- dav and possibly Tuesday, for it is ODticipatel1 that Dr. Stresemann, the German foreign minister, will delay its departure until he has had an op portunity to talk with Charles E. Hughes, the American secretary, who is to spend Sunday in the German cap ital.Aithotigh the delegates to the con ference are w orn out by reason of the long hours they have worked during the last few days, they do not be grudge the Germans an extra day, for high authorities here believe Mr. Hughes will give the Germans words of advice about the attitude tney should U ke when they appear at the conference table to discuss the meth. ods the conference has adopted for inaugurating a new reparation era. High authorities here express the be lief that the Germans will be warn ed to do nothing in London to ob struct the conference, adjournm ent of which Is expected to take place at the next week-end. The magic wand of arbitration, held in the hands of the French and waved over the conference table has wrought wonders for inter-allled diplomacy. Differences which last week threaten ed to break up the parleys have disap peared, and, even among the allied delegations, there are expressions of surprise and wonderment that the task which for days seemed to be impos sible has been accomplished. The American delegates, official and un official observers, including Owen D. Young and James A. Logan, Jr., ex pressed the opinion that the confer ence results are sound economically and Snancially and that the Dawes plan will be put to work without loss of any of its effectiveness. f o u r k iLl e d w h e n c a r SKIDS ON A. c. l: t r a c k .

PROHIBITION OFFICERS KILLEDV I invention Enables Deaf to See Sound. London.—Dr. E. E. Fourner d’Aibe, eminent scientist and world famous for his work on selencism and his in vention of the octophone, the instru ment by which the blind are enabled Io read ordinary print, has announced the invention oi an apparatus which by Its development may mean that the deaf will “hear” by seeing. . Styled by Dr. d’Aibe as an acoustic spectroscope, the apparatus may be said to turn sound into light. It consists of a series of resonating boxes provided with minute m irrors at tached to mica reeds. Each of these reeds is tuned to correspond to the fundametal note of its own resonator. When this nofe is sounded with suf ficient volume in the room where the apparatus is placed the reed, and therefor the mirror on it vibrates. A beam of light is directed down ward hn these mirrors, and vibrating spots of light are reflected, on to a ground-glass screen.' • BODIES FOUND IN AUTOMOBILE ON ROADSIDE BY POSSE FROM WILMINGTON THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCBLSVTLLE, N. 0. s o u H f e L SECRETARY WORK SAYS APPA LACHIAN REGION IS LOGICAL . PLACE. Wilmington.— A posse dispatched from here to Phoenix, Brunswick coun- ey, upon receipt of reports of a battle between prohibition officers and boot leggers, found the bodies of Deputy United States'M arshall Lilly and City Prohibition Agent Leon George in their automobile four miles from the town. Both bodies were pierced with bul lets fired at clsoe range and George’s police dog was also found dead in the car. The posse, consisting of 50 police and county officers, went armed with riot guns to meet any exigency.' The weapons of both officers were In their pockets and had not been fired. First.new s of the tragedy came In the form of a telephone message ' from Phodpix to the effect that a vnegro had reported hearing 25 or 30 shots fired and had seen the bddles of the wound ed officers at a distance. At 11 o’clock an additional 100 men had been hurried into Brunswick coun ty to Join in the search for slayers. George was 55 years old and had been a member of the police depart ment for 25 years. For the past three years he had been assigned actively to prohibition enforcement work, his efforts in this direction having bsen widely exploited in motion picture news reels. He was unmarried. The two officers left Wilmington. Lilly telling friends that he was going to serve a paper In connection with a prohibition case In "Brunswick, county. Nothing was heard from them after their departure from the city until the brief telephone message, saying til the brief telephone message, saying that it was reported they were killed. The officers were traveling in Lil ly’s automobile. When the bodies were found they had apparently been dead for several hours. The road on which they were traveling being an infrequented trail through the river swamps accounts for the fact that they were not dis covered sooner. b.

Charlotte, N. C.—Sixteen persons were injured, three very seriously, in a disastrous head on collision of a Piedmont and Northern passenger coach, west-bound, and a P. & N. freight train, eastbound, a quarter of a mile beyond the Savona mills, near Lakewood park. At three Charlotte hospitals, to where the injured were hastily taken,, the patients were re ported to be improving, with possibly the exceptions of the three most ser iously hurt. Two of the patients, T. S. Trott, conductor of the passenger coach,* which was telescoped- by the locomotive of the freight train in the crash, and J. T. Davis, of Kings Moun tain, a passenger, were' still uncon scious. Eleven white persons and five ne groes were hart in the terrific impact between the two moving electric trains. Ten of the injured whites were taken to St. Peter’s hospital, the elev enth being carried to the Charlotte sanatorium, and the five negroes were sent to the Good Sam aritan hospital Practically every person 6n the pas senger coach, probably every one, and one on the freight train, R. W illiam son, motorman, suffered injuries in the wreck. • ' Broken legs and arm s constituted most :6t the injuries; the- limbs of the occupants of the car being crushed and fractured when the passenger coach was sent asunder in.the awful crash. One m an -,Uffered two badly broken limbs, a leg and an arm being frac tured in two places each. A.woman’s leg was broken and two men were in hospitals with broken arms. Many of the occuppnts of the passenger coach Were cut and bruised about the head, while three have fractured skulls. Asheville.—The ' Southern A ppa lachian region is the logical plac’e for a great National Park, and the proposal • to establish such a park,will be placed' before Congress as son as the citizens’ commtitee investigating sites com -1 Pletes its report, declared Dr. Hubertj Work, secretary Cf the itherior, prior to leaving for W ashington, D, C. | The committee, which has just visit-; ed Asheville, was appointed on his own initiative and because he desires to fill the great public demand for a great national playground or park in the east, he said. “There are 19 national parks and 30 monuments, or sm aller areas, set aside as national shrines,” said Dr. Work, “The report of the interior departm ent for the last fiscal year showed that 1,280,886 people visited the national parks and 212,826 visited the national monuments. One can readily see what a laifge national park will mean for this section of the United States. Of the vast number of people who went to national parks last year, 218,000 alone visited the Rocky Mountain park at Denver, v “The demand- for such a park in the east has been growing for some years, and I hope that Congress will lend an attentive ear when the pro posal is placed before it. The com m ittee appointed to select a site for ’the project is composed of men of the highest type, and am sure their choice will be a good oiie. ' As soon as its report is ready the proposal will be placed before Congress at the December meeting, apd we will not wait for the new Congress going in next March before asking for the park. ; m a n ; b r o t h e r , w if e AND SON ALL pROWNED.

TS9 DROWNED IN SHIPWRECK ALL PASSENGERS LOSING LIVES WHEN TAIREI HITS THE ROCKS. Buying Power of Crops Rises. W ashington.—The agricultural, situ, atlon promises farm ers some increas ed economic leverage this year, the departm ent of agrioulture stated in an nouncing that the index of purchasing power of farm products is slowly rising. At the beginning of July the index of purchasing power of farm products" was 79 as compared with the year 1913 representing 100. That is 10 per cent higher than ever at that time In- the last four years. In it3 monthly review the departm ent takes, issue with those who have estimated a $ l,- 000,000,000 increase in the value of the wheat crop over, last year’s crop. “It is possible that American wheat growers will get from $100,000,000 to $200,000,000 more for their wheat this year than last, assuming that they sell something over 500,000,000 bushels,” the departm ent states. “This Is considerably less than the $1,000,000,000 increase estim ated in some quarters, but bespeaks an in creased ability to pay off debts and a general improvement in financial con ditions in the wheat country. ‘On the other hand, the corn situa tion is by no means good. Stands .are extremely spotted, many fields being Jull of weeds, and much of the crop is so far'behind that it will need some thing approaching a frostless fall to mature. ‘The m ain significance of the corn situation lies in its effect on livestock production and prices during the com ing year. Expensive com this fall will presumably prolong the liquidation of breeding stock now in progress. Un less history is a faithless guide, hogs and high garde Cattley will be good property before this time in 1925.. “A six per cent increase in dairy cows in the country over last year is rejported, the increase being greatest in the west,. The south is. considered to be going through critical days now, but cotton bids fair to produce a lar ger and more evenly distributed in come than last year.” Tokio:—One hundred -and fifty-nine persons were drowned in the Raka wreck of the TavreI Maru off Cape Hotoro,- northeast of Hokkaido, says a dispatch to The' Asahi, a' leading Tokio newspaper. The Tairel Mauru, nominally is1- a freight steamship, but was carrying about 138 passengers, besides the crew of 54. She is operated by the North .Japan Steamship company be tween the Island of Saghalien and Hokkaido, northerm ost of the main Japanese islands. She was bound for Otaru at the time of the wreck. She is a vessel of 1,240 tons. Eighteen passengers and five-members of the crew survived, reaching Toyohara in lifeboats. - The cause of the wreck is obscure. The Asahi’s dispatch says'it resulted from a collision with the Kamikura Maru, but advices' to the Nichi Nichi declares it was due to striking rocks. AU aboard the ship were Japanese.

Paris.—Jarvis Wood, president of the poor Richard Club of Philadelphia, was the leading figure in a reception given the visiting American advertis ing men at the city hall when he offi ciated at the presentation to Maurice Quentin, president of the Paris muni cipal council, of a gavel fashioned out of a beam from the room in indepen dence Hall In. which the declaration of independence was signed. President Quentin expressed his thanks In eloquent terms and warmly shook the hand of the Philadelphian while a large crowd of prominent Frenchmen and representatives of the press applauded. President Quentin welcomed the advertising men to the city “where the press has always been honored,1 recalling also that Paris boasted the first, periodical publication In the world. He paid tribute to the notable role played in the European w ar by the men of the American newspapers and publicity organizations.

THOUSANDS AUEND STATES FROM NEW YORK TO FLORIDA REPRfESENTED AT HAMLET. Hamlet.-—From New York, Pennsyl vania, Washington, D. C., Maryland, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida, and from all over North Carolina people came to Hamlet's, fourth annual peach show, which exceeded in decoration, preparation and diversity of program any public affair ever held in the his tory of the city. Perhaps the attend ance niay not ’ -have exceeded last year’s 5,000, but, nevertheless, those coming were from places scattered 'more throughout the nation than those present at previous shows. On-every hand were expressions of approval; A score of distinguished North Carolinians were on hand, including Secretary of State W. N. Everett; At torney General Manning; State Rev enue Commisioner Rufus Doughton, of Sparta; State Highway Commissioner Frank Page; Brigadier General Bow- Iey and Colonel Butler, of Fort Bragg; Congressman- W. C. Hammer; Judge Bynum, of Greensboro, and Clarence O. Kuester, of Charlotte. Supplement ing these was a judge from South Car olina, half a dozen officials from the state departm ent of agriculture, and H. B. Grlmshaw, general agent of the Seaboard, representing the general manager. All speakers at the Klwanis lunch eon stressed the amazement with which they had watched the sandhill belt within their own memory jump from a barren waste of sand and stumps to some, of the most fertile orchards in the country. Frank Page solemnly predicted within the present generation it would-be hot only the most productive in the country but In the world. B. C. Prince, freight traf fic manager of the Seaboard, a Geor gian, former owner of Georgia orch ards, and once 'skeptical about the North Carolina peach, declared it was Incomparably superior to the Georgia peach, and that it was only a question of time for the survival of the fittest.

The announcement in London, it is believed in this country, has served to give the question a diplomatic status it has not before known. So far as known, the Washington government has taken no steps to ward replying to, the British repre- sentatoins.

If we don’t find that gold In the old shaft then, some one’s been ahead of os.” ' ‘Tm. too sleepy to argue,’’ yawned Dlnsdale. Pyrites eyed him shrewdly and haz arded : “I reckon .your conscience wouldn’t trouble you a heap If there was enough money In a game." "Not a bit,” promptly admitted Dins- daie. “Gamblers cheat and it’s all right if they don't get caught The main thing is—don't get caught Lots of men are honest because they're afraid they’ll get . caught if they go crooked.” Pyrites chuckled at this line of cyn ical philosophy and agreed. “Lots of truth in your talk. But it happens that gold is what I'm keen about. I’m more Interested In tracing float-quartz to the mother-veln than I’d be In the best herd ot hosses ever run off. A hoss thief would ..ride slam-bang over a crack that held the price of a hundred hosses. . I’d turn the hosses loose and dig down Into that crack. San Juan Joe would quit the best pay gravel in these hills JfVist to draw a bu’sted flush. But how ,we talk! I wish we could.take time to work up toward the Box Elder. Those high bars and narrow flats are just loaded with gold. “But I know I can find something that’s better’n anything Tve struck y et I never failed to do it In other diggings.

A gentle. snore Informed him tbat Dlnsdale was asleep and had missed much of his talk. Shaking the of fender's shoulder he advised: “If you can't keep awake when a man’s telling you how to .find, a for tune you’d better crawl Into a. ten t” . 0 0-0.0-' 0 0 0 Rapid City boasted Itself to be the “ Denver” of ,the.B lack hills,“'.but as yet.played second fiddle to Deadwood, although its location made it the logi cal distributing center for the south ern section of . the gold country. It was generally .; believed along B apid. creek that once the - supremacy of the Sioux was broken Oiere would be a general exodus from Deadwood -Oulcb, and that the elty Sdow the Jong canyon would benefit thereby. The hotel did an excellent business In catering to those passing north and south over the stage road. Another place of varied entertain ment was Calvin’s eating-house. The proprietor bought gold. - Next to the eating-house was a ...gambling-hall. This, also, was owned by Calvin. The homeless man finds the easiest way to satisfy his Insatiate desire for excitement is to bet on a card or a rolling ball. Calvin further stimulat ed such craving by providing a pretty French girl to deal Twenty-one. There was Chippewa blood somewhere In her ancestry, but she was vivacious, musi cal of voice and possessed an undeni ably pretty face. ■ The report that Calvin was soon to lose her and that Deadwood Cliy was to acquire her graceful presence brought men In from tbe outlying dig gings to mak;e. a. wager before she went away. H er favor with the min ers was due largely to her rule that none of the gambling fraternity could play at Twenty-one. The game fras for the miner and tenderfoot exclusive ly. She was uncanny In her ability to detect a professional. Let him masquerade as mirier or team star or business man and, after one glance from her cool, dark, eyes, the delight ed spectators would hear her musical voice saying: “M’sleu Is mistake. Take up ze gold. This ees not for ze gambling man, M’sleurs, ottendez-vous, s’il vous p lait Make ze game.” ' And the favored victims would bundle the Intruder aside and with' additional stakes prove their loyalty to a' game that frowned on tbe pro fessional. ' One man aroused the curiosity of the girl. H e kept aloof, yet watched the game. E ls figure was erect and graceful and the gay tie hinted at. dandyism, but it was the white cloth around his head and covering some hurt that held . the. girl’s interest As there, was no doubt that the fellow had been drinking it was also possible,) she feared, he would create a disturb ance. It was bis propensity for song which led to the conclusion. When drunk, men sang 'In Bapld1 City just as they did In Deadwood, just as they sang In the days of the . first drink. But to walk, alone in tbe street In the sunshine and sing, albeit tbe voice was a rich tenor, proved the fellow was fair befuddled. He did not peek acquaintance with any of the habitues of the place, and none knew whence he came, whether from north or south, by stage, horseback or on foot Three times had he sung before the noon hour and, n ex t t,o the girl, Scis sors the picture-man displayed the most Interest In him. Scissors was well known InirRapld City although this was but his second visit there. Scissors stood behind the Twenty-one table and made an outline of the fair dealer and timidly placed It beside her hand. She. pushed a 'chip toward him, but be refused, murmuring: “Let me give it. It Pleasesl Uiek I can always get dust from the men.” To prove his assertion he walked over to. the stranger and began: “It’s a g ift Always could do it Preserve your likeness In paper, the only man In the world w)io can do It Can make, your likeness as exact as any artist, can draw i t Do it all In outline, profile preferred. I’m wakan wltshasba. A mystery man. Wakan- tanka, the big sun mystery, smiles on me and gives me my medicine. Be hold r He .began whirling the paper and manipulating tbe scissors. The strang er watched him closely, alert and. puzzled. His ayes widened as he glimpsed the growing outline.' When it was completed and extended be tween the points of thie scissors the plctureman said: “Pour bits. I t’s dirt cheap.” The stranger stared' at the cut-out figure In amazement He noted that not only waB the characteristic pose cunningly- caught but that even the bandage about his head was indicat ed. .With an Inarticulate ' sound he snatched the paper and tore it to bits.. Scissors’ lips opened to .make a protest at, such wanton destruction of art, but before, .be .could speak the man was thrusting a dollar Into his hand .and was. commanding: "Clear out! That silly stuff doesn’t interest me.” . Then as he realized how deeply the group at the Twenty-one table was interested In the scene tie added: “You’re spoiling my luck. . Now. T must have a drink before, dare, bet on a card.” He did not patronize-the short b ar' at the end of the hall but strode Into the street and made for the eating-house. ‘And as; he walked he obeyed his musical impulse and began 3lriglng In La rich, rollicking voice: I tiled to I o to a lal'ther*; 4her ealted her StllyBlack- I a»k*d her for to marry me, she said it was a whask.

In ;,seardi of customers. - After, fcatf as. hour the stranger returned,^and this time he did riot halt by the door, but swung down the room and darted a lively glance, at the girl. He halted and abruptly pushed his. way to her table and thrust .bis hand In his pocket for some mon^y or dust “No,, no, M’sleu. -Not here. Ze game ees not for you.” . He slowly drew forth his.hand and swung his gaze about cIis if searching for some one wtio might be smiling over his repulse. More- to spare the dealer a scene' than from fear of tbe stranger the men continued grave of face. W ith a Shrug of his shoulders the man passed on to the monte table, looked on sardonically for a minute, then bruskly asked?: “What’s the limit?” "Fifty dollars,” answered the dealer without bothering to glance up.. "How much behind'your bank?”, “Two thousand dollars.” Now the dealer deigned to look up. "Bet you two thousand dollars.the next card Is red.” •' • The dealer dropped the pack before him arid rapidly darted his appraising gaze over die challenger. Head h u rt partly intoxicated; yet drunken men and fools are proverbial for luck. “This is a monte bank.” “I know. Bet you two thousand the next card Is red." “Probably is. Probably you g o t;a glimpse of I t” sneered the dealer. “Leave the. deck as it is. Let any one here cut the cards. Bet you two thousand he cuts a red card.” “AU right You're on. The bank pays you two thousand If you call the right color.” "Bed is my color. Shuffle them up, but don't bend any of them. Go ahead.” The dealer ran the cards together a few times and squared them up and left them on the table. “Any one in particular you’d like to make the c u tr asked the dealer. The stranger bent down to satisfy himself the dealer was not "forcing" a cut by bending the cards, then straightened and glanced about until his gaze rested on Scissors. Motion ing him to approach he caught him by the shoulder and pushed him forward and directed: “Cut the deck, Paper Dolls. You’re big medicine, you. know. Cut a: red cart." - • -• r Scissors stared stupidly as if not un derstanding. The stranger repeated his command, now speaking sharply. Scissors tim idly'advanced a hand and seized the cards. The dealer bowed his head to catch an early glimpse of the color and draw a deep breath and held I t Scissors cut deep and held out his hand. He had cut the ten of hearts. The dealer rose and from a drawer In .the table counted out two thousand dollars In dust and currency and mo tioned for the winner to use the scales. The stranger finished counting, the money and then weighed the bags of dest In his brown hands. “They heft like they are enough,” he saicL “Game closed?" "Closed until I get another stake,” said the dealer,1 placing the meager residue of cash and dust in a bag to "No, No, M’aieu. Not Here. Ze Qamo Ees Not for You.!' take with him. 'iYou tapped, the bank to ttie. lim it It’s yours to run; If . you wish It till I can get another, stake.” . “Maybe H l wait till you get another stake and then tap the bank again.” "Straight monte, with, fifty-dollar lim it” warned the dealer as he turned to'go. " ' • The stranger walked with h ta to the door and broke into “Joe BowwsTfcom Pike." He sang only two lines, bis attention being, attracted by two men approaching from the eattng.hoise. He stepped back Inside the hall and In a mtoutePyrite? and Dinsdae ^teretL . head, land * * * £ ^ en ty -O te taMe.I ^ te s , never given to Bunfciingi j,„r. le d . to the short bar at th e e ^ lo f the •dnnk.

Take your money.” *“But I am not a gambling man,” protested Dlnsdale. “You have ze gambling look, M’sleu. Pardon, if I mistake. Ze monte bank will be running ver" soon.” The stranger laughed boisterously and in response to Dlnsdale's’question ing glance announced: “The young lady sees the some brand on the two of us, mister. And I’ve, just tapped the ,monte bank, rm banker and dealer. House limit Is fifty. That doesn’t interest me. And monte is a slow game.” "Banker and dealer, both, eh?” mused Dlnsdale, smiling pleasantly. “And wbat’s your idea of a good game?" > ' . . The stranger estimated Dlnsdale rather shrewdly, and with a drop of the lids glaiiced at the two -big belt- guns. "Color of the card. Five hundred ,a guess." ' . “Get to your table. TH help you pass the time;” said Dlnsdale. “La la! Oh, no! M’sleu is not ze gambling man I” trilled the Twenty- one dealer. Pyrites at tbe bar was taking his second drink and talking volubly to the patient bartender. A new deck was brought to the monte table and thoroughly shuffled. “How did you- tap the bank?” care lessly asked Dlnsdale as he felt for his money. “Bet two thousand 'a card would be ,red.” "Short and sweet. Bed ought to be some lucky,” mused tDlnsdale, produc ing a stack of greenbacks. “There’s five hundred. Give them a cu t please. I call red.” Black came up. The stranger smiled and rem arked: "When I’m in luck It sticks clear through. Some paper money' you’re toting. You ought to be the ‘green back man’ I've been hearing so much about.” “Deal a card! Bed,” called Dlns dale. Black came up. The dealer said, "I don’t think you’ve got enough of the green to last till all these dark cards run o u t But of course the deal ends when either color is exhausted.” "That wasn’t specified, but let It Soi- Bed.” Bed came up—a diamond. Dlnsdale swept In the money and asked: “How did you hurt your head?” “Think I'm a newspaper?” queried the dealer, smiling frostily. “We’re playing at gambling.” "Bed.” A club showed. Pyrites was showing the effect of his hurried drinks and was now lean ing his b.ack against the bar, glass In hand, and beaming Joyouply on the monte table. Im partially taking the whole room into his confidence he boasted of his discoveries and reached the glass over his'shoulder to be re filled. While he talked two dark and two red cards showed. "Bed!" barked Dlnsdale. He won. “Bed I” Again tie won. "Pm even,” he said as the dealer waited for him to name the color. "And quitting?” sneered the dealer. Dlnsdale shook his head. "It’s slow. It tires ,me. Two thousand on a single card. W hat say?” The other stared up into the, steady eyes for a fraction of a minute, then shrugged his shoulders and lightly sold: "All In a lifetime. Tl] go you." He counted out two thousand dol lars In greenbacks. W ith a dry laugh Dlnsdale observed: “They’ll be calling you the .'green back man* n ex t But I’ll be mighty glad to get them. Never could get enough greenbacks." ' The' stranger took ■ the deck In his left hand, poised !thumb and - finger ready to deal a card. Dlnsdale quiet ly informed him : "I .couldn't' help seeing the bottom card. Tm sticking to. red." And, his hand fell to his side; The stranger’s eyes dilated until they reminded Dlnsdale of the yel low orbs of SltUng Bull, the. owl, and. (or a moment be seemed to hesitate. Then he slowly turned the top card. I t iwas the ace of diamonds. W ith tils , left hand Dlnsdale pulled In the money, his gaze never quitting the set face across the table.': Pyrites, growing noisy a t; ttie: bar, alone" broke tbe breathless; silence of the room. I Leaning .back arid clasping his hands ^efore him the dealer said: “I don’t mind . your winning.- I’d rather win; but. it doesn’t give me heart trouble” to lose. But I do inlnd your telling me .you know the bottom card." . “I thought It right I should tell you," serenely returned Dlnsdale, now stand- lng erect ttie ,money Sail clutched In bis left bona, his, right hand hovering over a gun. 6 . ?a* the same as . saying I was thinking of dealing the bottom card ” continued' the. dealer, speaking very slowly. “Now Just to iirbve what kind of a bluffer yon are TH bet fifteen hundred, about my whole tile, that you can't name the bottom cord.** ■ .: Ugly lines drew Dlnsdale's face into a snarL - ■“Keep your hands aw&y fr&m that deck,” - he sharply -.commanded. “Til take that bet, but some one besides you must turn the deck over.

And "that was the , end of tb* threo MM, Joshua, James aad Jobs*. Scissors timidly sidled to the table, his eyes blinking nervously."The bottom card is the'seven of spades,” spoke up Dlnsdale. Taking great care not to toucti the cards with his hands Scissors Insert ed the points of his scissors under the deck and tipped the p,ack over. Dlnsdale had named it correctly. The stranger pushed back his chair and said:"If yon had offered me ten thou sand, or a million to name It, I couldn’t have done It” There was an old woman, bad three oona, Joshua, James and John,. roared Pyrites, slapping a hand on the dealer’s shoulder and waving a hand at Dlnsdale.The ferocity slowly left the stranger’s''face. With a reckless laugb he lifted his bead and commenced sing ing: \ I used to Ioye a oral there, and they ealled her Sally Blactc. “Hangtown and Spanish Dry Dig gings. Fall of ’fifty-one!" rejoiced Pyrites. “But you ain’t old enough to have been out there* at that Bing ing." "But a' certain old man is, who still sings those songs, and taught them to me/’ said the stranger. Springing to his feet he said to Dlnsdale, “You’ve cleaned me out Is there any fight ing blood between us? If so, we can step outside.”"Shame for two young fellows to Spill blood;” protested Pyrites. “Let every one be happy.”Dlnsdale voted for peace by saylni '‘Don’t take my talk too serlousl/.

MOC&SViLLE, W, C. AuQUS? &. 1924 Tbe Connty. Agent. ■ There was a time when the eoun ty agricultural agent waB not re garded as essential. In that dav, farmet s looked upon him. with su spicion/ because of h,is new-frangled ideas. Many thought he was going to teli them something different a- bout farm work, when they were following the practices handed down _ from generation back. Gradually the attitude of the farmer changed until he began to view the county agent as an integral part of the farm program, a neces sary'asset in intelligent agriculture development ;-x There is no danger in the, situa tion, however. The tendency exists to take up too much of the county agent’s time with organizations pro moting production, marketing or so cial activities among the farmers. - I'hisisnot the real duty of the county agent, and the purpose of es tablishing this agency in rural com munities will be defeated if farmers lose sight of the largest field for the county agent. - He is essentially a teacher and His work is"educational in character. He is a public official,, representing the state college of agriculture and the United Slates department of agri culture. His duties lie . along entension lines, rather than in organization executive work, and the sooner farmers appreciate this fact, just- that much sooner-will they realize greater benefits, because relieved from tedious organization work, the county agent will be- enable to dis v trioute more helpful information in alt fields of farm work, which is real function.—Ex. ._____ There’s A Reason. Some farmers can work twelve hours a day on a piece of land and make a bare living. Others farmers, can work on the same piece of land ten hours a day make a living and profit besides. Some men can take a business en terprise, and not only fail to make a living, but go seriously into"debt. Other men can take the same en terprise, with all its handicaps and make it profitable. r There’s a' reason for the difference. The §ucee3sful man studies condi tions and analyzes suggestions and makes improvements as rapidly as it is possible for him to do so. His re turns are in proportion to the activi ty of his brain The failure is slow to change. He doesn't take any stock in new fan- glod notions. What was good enough for his father is good enough for him. And that is all he gets. When put to practical use, brains become a valuable asset When merely carried around in a skull, they worthless.—Ex. E avesdropping. A woman who had fallen ill dis trhsted the doctors. So she asked her sister to eocceal herself and list en to the conversation between the family doctor and a specialist who were called into consultation. When the specialist joined the family doct or, his only remark was: “Bless my soul, I have never seen so ugly a woman in all my life!” ; Ah. but you should see her sister,” said the doctor. : . Ah, but you should see her sister” said the doctor. ’ - This sister’s experience was hard ly as disconcerting as. that of h-man who desired to know the truth about his condition Accordingly it was reported that there was a disagree ment between the two hpysiciana,- The butler had conce, I rd hims If at the man’s orders and overheard the two arguing about the case. ’ However, it does not matter.” reported the butler, “for some fel low whom the specialist -called Mr Post Mortem will settle, the matter within three days.” S tra n g le ! the Snake; D ies. Tha finding of/the body.of an -un identified woman, .with a large rattli • snake, clutched in. her right hand and the fangs o f the reptile still fastened in her neck is reported from Sennaca1S. QgttThe woman’s body was found near the line jjetween Forih and South-Garolina by a party of tourists. ■ The tourists.are said to have met two children in the road crying, and were told that their mother had gone over a hill ^o pick buckleber ries and.hadvnot returned. On in vestigation the tourists made the gruesome find. The snake’s body was gripped in Ahe womanis hand, a n d its fangs were still: fastened in ter neck, according to the story. R ep u tatio n . Character, aB we all know, is what you are. While reputation" is what people think you are. • While it is es sentially-more important to have, a- good character, itls . indeed unwise to disregard public opinion,: for in the every-day affairs of life yobr re<, pu tat ion may and often does seem to count for more than your char acter.. Thi3 is true because people are prone to judge by appearances and jump at conclusions rather thati take advantage of this fact. Tney never miss an opportunity to make a good impression. Hodt often do we see people using, their church membership as a * cloak.” Others' commit dastardly acts and -vet re tain their reputation perhaps be cause they bave'fieen “careful” or “discreet” if not good, hr perhaps they have observed the eleventh commandment; -'Nevergetcaught ” On the other hand, we all know men and women of good characters We w h o really kno w, them say they are “-pure gold” at heart', yet they are entirely indifferent to the opinion of otliers. They are careless in their manner, speech and acts. • There are a number of young girls, one or more in every locality, wjio assume the Eva Tanguay attitude. They are otter "pure gold,’/ but what a price' they have to pay for the “I don’t care what they say”, at titude These girlsjare usually crush ed by the unfairness of the treat ment they receive and sometimes become more, indifferent to the opinion of others, But by so doing they are only “digging their own 'graves,” as the saying goes. These unfortunate ones should not continue to be indifferent to the opinion of others, but should wake, up, “take stock” and.overco'me.hab its, for how. can the public judge them except bv.the things they see them do. and say. They haven’t time.or opportunity Jto -know them as their family and friends who rea son after this fashion: "Oh. I knbw. SHADY GROVE TOWNSHIP SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

We have a notion that the popu la’ion of towns in remote distance- dous ingathering of new citizens and we also have an idea that many of those who never can understand just why it is that a newspaper is not at liberty to pick up all slush and sewage from the street gutter and rush it through their printing presses would not have the elastic step arid the. high head and the spotless robes of their own morality wrapped about them the next time they .appear in public. ■ Perhaps, but for the sake of' con ceding at least something to those who are ignorant of such things, newspapers ought to have a little more morals courage sometimes, and cut more to the quick when the issue is clearly drawn between right and wrong, and morolity and iniquity. -Many of them are, to be sure, not as audacious in the de fencse of justice and public right eousness as they might be, but better that the error be committed on this side of the fence than 011 this side of the fence than 011 the other were uubr'dled slander runs auiucli and the scandal-nouuds are forever chasing their prey with the yelps of their false witness. , W ill Not A ppeal To Legion.

And it is well remembered that LaFoIIette made address during- the war that were on -the surface as disloyal as some of the utterances of Berger of Wisconsin, who was expelled from the House of Congress. Atleastone of the LaFollette ad dresses was brought under inverti - gation.

Practically all of the license plates or automobile in the State are Jjur-^ chased during June and July, the be ginning of the fiscal year, so we see noj- eason whatever for keeping these 37 branch license offices open throughout the State longer than August 1st, yet'we notice that" the several branch offices are open’ per manentiy and in the course of a- nother year or so unless the tax payers rise up in their wrath and demand'economy in this part of the State government-there will be a' branch office for every county. These felloes that have charge of these offices are paid we presnme.not less than $150 a month, some of them more, the . e it, light, fuel and janit or service will amount to at least a hundred dollars more per month in places like Winston-Salem and Char lotte the rent will reach: probably. $200 a month, and after July they will not average issuing 400 license tags a month. ■: l’he work could.just as well be handled from Raleigh and all this extra expense avoided. Will Secretary Everetu please teil us just why the taxpayers. of the State are to be burdened with this extra, ex pense? There is absolutely no law for it and we are of the opinion that if some taxpayer would take the matter to court that this extra ex pense would be knocked higher than a kite- Of course we all know why these offices are kept open.

The entire transaction re quired nearly twtf hours. Once the old man stopped the bank employe as he was counting dollars. “Here, here,” he said, not so fast: I did’t make it that fast. I got to see that it is all there. ’ ’ His wife smiled faintly. She watch- -ed the counting facinated - A little sack containing 1,800 pennies was dumped out of one of the meal sacks. “Ill take your count on that just to save time,” -said the bank em ploye, pleasantly.

It is real amusing to hear some of comments of the dyed-in-the-wool Democrats, over the desertion of -Senator Wheeler, of Montana, 'from their fair party to fun on the ticket with LaFolTette. As long as Wheeler was a Democrat in good and regular standing he Was a price charming a- mong the elect in the wheizy old party bu.t the minute he'deserted them and over to the enemy'“he didn't amount to much anyway.” to hear them tell it. What gets their goat is. the fact that wheeler took, the lead in prose cuting and prosecuting Attorney General Daugherty and it was ex pected by the Democrats that the mortir effect of his activitp woiild be far-reaching and that the county would be made understand that the. only way to get the right sort of go”ernment in Washington was "to put none but men of , the Wheeler strib on guard.. But alas, Wheeler spills the beans and declares that the Democrat's are as mean as we Republican; that Davis i) as much tied up to the "interests” as CooIidge and the Demmies have therefore lost one of their most able champions and'greatest fighters. . One thing we can’t understand is that' a little stump speaking Demo cratic Iawer will get up and tell you that the bo,t of pins while on the other hand be will-almost in the same breath tell yon that the bolt of LaFoIIette has ruined the chances of Cooli ige for reelertion.

The most radically inclined people in North Carolina, asserted Mr. Parker, are too conservative to give the wild irrational theories of Senator La- Follette a place in thejr niind.

We are sure that all of those who are due us can spare this amount. It may not mean much to you. but we" have several hundred who are due us and the total amount means a good deal to us. There will be someone in our office all day picnic day, and if you miss us on the grounds call at the office before you leave town. .We thank you in advance for your re-, n e w a l ._____- . Tomorrow is a big day in Mocks- ville and Davie county. For forty- six years the Masonic picnic has been held in this county, and from year to year the crowds have grown larger and the receipts have climb ed from a few dollars to between two and three thousand dollars over the abovr expenses each year. AU of this money goes to a worthy ciuse—to help support the father less and motherless child:en in the Oxford orphanage. We trust that all those who can will attend this year. A good time, a fine dinner,- and an interesting program awaits you. Tell all your neighbois and friends to meet you in Mocksville on T luirK lav, Au;, u-t 14th. Help us to make this the biggest and best picnic of the entire forty-six. So far as we can learn all the officeholders and all the nominees in Davie county are good fellows. ' We believe they are good to their parents if they have parents living, and we believe they' will pay their honest debts. It may be that some will make better officers than others and we believe this to be the case. We were promised some wonderful things 2 years ago. Fact of the mat ter is that the boys wanted office so bad that they were willing-to prom ise too much to get the jobs. The world knows that they did not and - possibly could not fulfillthe prom ises they made The wise man will go slow when it comes to promises to reduce taxes, to lower the price of fertilizer, to destroy, all the blockade stills and catch all the bootleggers. No man or set of men can accomplish all this. * The pro hibition laws are -being trampled underfoot every day in this'and other counties, and such will be the case.after November, regardless of who is elected. The taxes are not .going to be reduced by either Re publicans or Democrats. The farm ers and the town people are going to pay more taxes year after y«;ar so long as more, and better schools and good roads are being built and maintained. The campaign will soon be on in full swing. We be lieve that the Republicans have nominated a good set of men to fill the county offices and we believe .the people will make no mistake in electing them. Up to this time the Democrats have not nominated a ticket. We take it for granted that good men wil.l be nominated 011 that ticket also. The Record will be found fighting for the men whom .the Republicans of Davie county saw fit to nominate in .the couuty convention,.for the reason ..that we believe they are competent to fill the otfi^s with credit to themselves aiid!'F6 the people of the ' entire county. Davie county is-Re publican, and in our. opinion She . will repudiate the mixed ticket and return to- her first love this fall. - It has been seven years since our boys went over to France to make the world a safe place in which to live. Davie countysent 357 men * to the various camps, most-of them later going ‘across the big .pond. We imagine most of them had . & tlier stayed at hom e., But they, went across and when they got there our boys did not bide behind the French, British or Belgians bjit were found in the front ranks where their lives were in peril most of the time. Some of these brave fellows did not have the privilege of re turning home to tell their loved ones of the horrors they: encouhted while away. Seventeien.of our boys gave their lives, m camp or on the battlefield fighting* for freedom and that liberty should not perish from the world But Some of them came home, and are with us today. A few came back maimed a-fid crip pled and some have since passed to the great beyond. We sometimes wonder if our people who stayed at home have forgotten- the srcri- fices that these boys made. It would seeni so. When you take a look at the people who are holding down all the jobs in Davie county you would think that we had no World War Veterans. There is but one man in Davie county who ser ved overseas that is bolding a poli tical .job. The fathers and mothers in Davie county who furnished sons to go across the Atlantic tosacrifice their lives if necessary, will have the opportunity next November to vote .for some of the boys who went across. The results' in the Novem ber election in this county will show whether or not Flanders Field have been forgotten. The boys who remained at home are . filling all the offices now. If the soldier boys are deserving of your support we feel sure that they would appre ciate it. It is up to you to show how you stand on this great ques tion.

Oneof the most horrible- mur ders ever committed in this section of the country, occurred last Thurs day night on the Lexington-Mocks- ville highway two miles, from Lex ington, when Charlie Garwood, a taxi driver and a former resident of Mocksville but later of Lexington, was brutally murdered by two negroes. Mr. Garwood'sbody was found beside the rpad eariy-Friday morning with more -than' a dozen wound on his head inflicted by an iron bair. Robbery is supposed to have been the motive; as Mr. Gar wood had about $ 150 in his pocket the evening of the murder.

States D eputnunt of Agriculture.) Turkey raising in the United States has been- on the decline during the last 20 years especially as an enterprise on the general farm s of the country. Formerly large numbers were raised in New England, but in recent years there has been a decided decrease In this-section as well as In other parts of the country. Several causes^ have been assigned by the United States Department of Agriculture for the de crease in the numbers now raised. The rearing, of the young stock, In some respects at least, requires more detailed attention than is the case with most other classes of poultry and turkeys have given way to these other classes. The prevalence of blackhead has been a dominant factor and re sponsible for -the discouragement of many raisers. The birds range widely and frequently trespass upon the property of neighbors, the vexation tending to discourage turkey raising. Finally, little attention has been given the most important problems of the Industry by investigators. On the otlier hand, there Is, accord ing to the United States Department of Agriculture, good opportunity for further development. Turkey raising Is profitable;, particularly where con ditions are suitable and where proper methods of management are followed. The department has issued a new bulletin on turkey iaising, Farmers' Bulletin 1409, which illscugses the Im portant points of the. business and of fers suggestions for making the in dustry a more profitable enterprise. The bulletin sums up some of these fundamental factors as follows: To be successful in turkey raising, one must give ■ the most careful con sideration to certain fundamental fac tors. The turkeys, especially the grow ing stock, must be kept under the best possible conditions. Free range Seems Indispensable, al though there are a few who have made a success in raising turkeys in confinement. A more thorough test of this method is necessary, however, before it can be advocated. Certainly abundance of free range on clean soil is greatly to be' preferred. Every ef fort should be made tc, keep the soil sweet and'clean. This is particularly true of the ground on which the birds are fed and where they roost. Another fundamental essential I* , to. keep healthy and vigorous breeding stock in the best possible breeding con dition, The breeding birds should get plenty of exercise and should not be fed too heavily on fattening rations. The great difficulty is to get stock that is- free from blackhead!, but one can at least select breeding stock based on constitutional vigor. By breeding from the most vigorous birds every year, a flock of healthy birds may be developed and maintained. Certainly much more care should be exercised In the selection of male breeders each year. Both old and young turkeys should be protected from dampness. In sec tions of the country where dampness is prevalent or where rainstorms are frequent the birds should be provided with suitable protection. It is very important hat to feed the poults too heavily, especially the first few weeks. Keep them just a little hungry. A copy of this bulletin may be se cured, as long as the supply lasts, from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Coccidiosis Is Cauae of Loss of Baby Chickens One of the serious diseases which causes the loss of baby chicks, Is an IntesUnal disease' known as eoccidiosis. This disease is contagions and many chicks die as soon as they get into the flock. The best means, ;>f course, is to prevent infection by. keeping a clean place for the chick* to feed and run. . The brooder should be disinfect ed and all sick chicks separated from the well ones,-feeding bran mash and providing fresh drinking water. De stroy the dead chicks by burning. The feeding floors, houses and brooders should be cleaned with lye and water, using one pound of lye to 40 gallons of water, and spray With a 3" per cent compound solution of cresol or some' other reliable disinfec tant. Medicines are of Uttie value In the treatm ent of coccidiosis, but epsom salts may be added to the feed of Uie flock if the'disease has been found. A pound of salts for each 800 to 400 chicks, four to six weeks old, can be mixed In a bran mash for one feeding. Repeat every third day until results have been secured. Pullets require larger doses. Capons Are Profitable To the average farmer capons mean more actually than appears on the sur face Given free range, after caponiz- Ing time, and allowed to grow until conditioning time, there is no other, form of chicken Uiat can produce the Zm e profit; com is the principal diet for these m eat producers, a cereal most available as poultry foolJ - A hundred young cockerels can be transr formed into money makfers ^ a b o u t ■three h o u rs-th e resultant profit Is threefold the broiler profit. SGARF AND FROGK ENSEMBLE; COLORFUL CHECKS AND STEtIPES 11HE scarf and frock ensemble is * 1 all the style.” To the mode and its clientele this idea of making the scarf of the same material as the dress, is proving of genuine appeal. It Is a vogue of fascinating possibilities which appeals alike to professional stylist and home dressmaker as well. The "scarf to match” fashion Is charmingly presented In the costume ensemble In the picture. The frock is of printed crepe, rust, navy and white comprising the coloring, i'he emphasize the straightline silhouette, expressing individuality In an all-over patterning of gay colored checks. . Powder blue Is an outstanding color throughout all fashlondom this season. Particularly does this apply to knitted outerwear, In that this detectable shade is proving the favorite for sweaters, frocks and scarves. An all- over pattern of checks in powder blue and white makes the straightline knitted silk frock shown in the picture of mo/"1 than usual' interest. Special m Presents the 44Scarf to Match” Style. scarf ingeniously combines these three shades in the triple. border of plain crepe. TJe insets of narrow and wide lace »insertion -add?to the effective? ness. . In many Instances the scarf Is made to. serve in place of sleeves. That Is, a scarf matched to the frock Is art fully worn so as to “reveal yet con ceal” the arm, and thus is the sleeve less gown given new interpretation. The match-scarf frock Is exquisitely developed In georgette, this season. Sometimes the entire width of the : style details are indicated in the ad justable collar. It may be worn but toned up close or. thrown open. ;s ''Ncivelty abounds In knitted design to ’■a degree which goes far ahead of all previous records. In addition to checked, plafded and striped effects are the handsome tapestry motifs.

Arbutus Hailed asHarbinger of Hope After the first terrible winter in New England, one of the first sights to cheer the Pilgrims during the.enrly spring days was arbutus, the “sweetest flower that grows.” Tlie dffinty blos soms were liailed as a symbol of hope, a promise of the better things in store after the tortures of that dreadful first winter. Tradition relates that the ear ly Pilgrims were so overjoyed at the sight of the charming plant, the blos soms of which seemed to appear from under the winter's snow, that they called it the Mayflower. The true Mayflower, however, re marks the Detroit News, is an Eng lish plant, neither resembling nor re lated to its native American name sake. W hether the American S-Pecies was named In tender remembrance of home ties In England, or in honor of the sturdj- vessel that carried »ur forebears safely across the ocean; is not known.

G -N o t so long ago golf was quite generally regarded as a game for Idlers who were too lazy to take up any strenuous sport and for elderly gentlemen who had been deluded into the belief that pottering around a rtfendow after a little white pill might add a few years to their lives. When women began to take It up It was even more disparaged by chesty individuals who prided themselves on being he-men. They laughed a t . the Idea that it was a. form of athletics and called it- cow-pasture croquet. They derided any one who took It seriously. It couldn’t be real exercise, they said, because those wiio .played the game hired a caddy to carry the golf bags and clubs and chase the bulls, wbicb was the only hard work involved. It couldn’t be a test of skill, because any one could knock a ball a few hundred yards, walk up to it, bit it again, and then baby it into a hole in the ground.

C.) headquarters of the National Geographic society. “Venice’s environment evolved the gondola almost as truly as an aquatic life cbunged legs into flippers for seals or put web feet on ducks,” says the bulletin. “Venice not only has ‘water avenues,’ large canals in which motor boats can operate, but also many scores of narrow and shallow ‘water lanes’ and ’water alleys’ where the use of mechanically propelled craft Would be out of the question. Probably no other boat as large as a gondola, even though driven by Par d r . pole, could navigate these small channels success fully. Gliding Over.

One can hardly im agine1 Venice without gondolas. And the gondoliers them selves are an Important factor in Ve netian life. Henry Jam es culled these sturdy, sunburned, water-loving men ‘the true children of Venice.’ They typify much moi*e closely than the merchants and artisans-and gentry, on their pile-made ground, the spirit of the-founders of Venice who built up among the waters the unequaled mari time world power of Its day. “The visitor to Venice for the first time is sure to be disappointed In the appearance of the gondola.- So much that is rom antic has been associated with these bouts, tlmt the stranger un consciously expects them to be gayly decorated. But each is like all the rest, a somber, unrelieved black. The powerful council of the old Venetian republic provided for this dusky hue back in the Sixteenth century, and the requirement has been followed as faithfully ever singe, as if the mighty Ten still held unquestioned powers of life and death over all the citizenry. One explanation of the queer law is that Venetians were squandering too much money vying,w ith one another in decking their gondolas with costly trappings,. Another Ls that it was .to lend prestige to 'authority. ’ At any rate the edict excepted the "gondolas of tlie Doge and the foreign ambassa dors which were richly embellished in gold and crimson.

Tlioy serve as taxi cabs with ‘stands’ at prominent points along the canal banks. \ Some Vene tian families hire a gondolier and his i limit from month to m ontli; and as Iij I true of chauffeurs In some moderately !well-to-do fam ilies In the United I States, the gondolier, when not row ing his boat, may act as butler or gen-- ertiL mnn-*servtint about the.house.4' “Tlie - gondola - Is first- mentioned In inunuscripts of 1094 A.

WAR ENDED IN 1815 COST $12,000 YEARLY. Reykjavik, Iceland.—Skirting the southeastern, southern and southwest ern coasts of Iceland, Lieut. Howell H. Smith and Lieut. Erik Nelson drove their round-the-world planes from Hoefn Hornafjord to Reykjavik, a dis tance of some 300 miles, In four hours and 58 minutes. The. take-off from Hoefn Hornafjord was made under good w eather condi tions, and these continued throughout the journey, except for a heavy head wind encountered by the planes as they turned northward from the north ern point of Iceland. The winds buf feted the fliers considerably, but nev ertheless they were able to make a splendid landing at the spot assigned to them in the bay here. Virtually the , entire population of the quaint ham let of Reykjavik as sembled on the pier to watch the two great planes as they circled aboVe the harbor Inside the seawall searching for their buoys. As the machines hit the water, with Lieutenant Smith leading the way, a small boat put out from the shore and took off the filers. The lord mayor of the town and the members of the town council welcom ed the Americans on their arrival at the pier, and women presented each of the airm en with a bouquet of flow ers. The-aviators were guests > of the town while here. Mexico City.—Seventeen defenseless persons were killed and ten others Wounded when a- band of 50 armed outlaws attacked a hachienda near Oplcus,; state of Yucatan, according to a special dispatch from Meridia to El Universal. The assailants declared they came from the-village of Opichen, where they had previously committed out rages. They sacked the hachienda and fled with 150 federal troops in pursuit. ■ *' The band, which is composed of In dians, is likewise charged with a re cent attack upon the village of Kal- kini. The special dispatch asserts there is no specific reason for the at tacks, which are attributed to the chaotic condition following the recent occupation of the territory by the revolutionists. Official quarters here have no con firmation of the details given in the press reports. Bill Proposes State Polios. Wilmington.—That North Carolina is greatly In need of a state: constabu lary, such as is maintained by the states of Pennsylvania and New York, is the belief ot State Senator Emmett H. Bellamy, who said it was his inten tion to introduce, during the extraor dinary session of the general assem bly, a bill seeking the appointment of a commission to investigate the feasi bility of the creation of such a law enforcing unit. Senator Bellamy Is of the opinion that a state constabluary could- do more to prevent liquor traffic, the hold up and sometime m urder of persons traveling on the highways, operation of automobiles by intoxicated persons, and speeding than all of the city and county officials now operating in this state combined. W ashington. — Thirty-three wid ows of soldiers who fought In the W ar of 1812 are still on the pension rolls of the Government, although 109 years have elapsed since the close of that conflict in 1815. Eight of the women pensioners died dur- . Ing the year ended June 30. There have been no names of soldiers of the W ar of -1812 on the pension books since 1905, when Hiram Cronk died in Ava, New York, at the age of 105. The oldest of the 33 widows receiving pensions, which average $30 a month, or about $12,000 a year, is Mabala Huff, Rural Route No. 2, Louis, Kentucky, who is 105. years old. H er husband was a pri vate in a Virginia company of milif- amen. All told approximately 35,- - 000 widows of veterans of the W ar of 1812 were granted service pen sions ,the high w ater mark being reached in 1379 when there was 18,177 on the rolls.

'In’ one of three notes found Ih-his pocket -directing - disposition of 'hl3 bndy and property. Morgan declared. “Fannie Briscoe is the ,cause of it all- 1 can’t stand the way she has done m e.” Washington.—The Federal trade commission, In a report made public on the cotton trade in response to senate resolutions, recommended that some form of sound delivery on New York contracts be adopted, that c-otton contracts be confined to three grades, th a t. consideration be given to a re duction in a size of the contract de livery of 100 bales, and that cotton puts and calls be abolished by a pro hibitive tax. The commission contended that the three contiguous. grade contracts should not be adopted unless south ern delivery was also adopted. The report declared such a contract w ould. prove a valuable adjunct of southern deliveries by offsetting in part the decreased value of the con tract arising from the additional op tion given to the seller of contracts as to place of delivery. ■ It would further counteract the de pressing effect on future prices of de liveries of varying grades on. each con tract, which tends to be emphasized by the number of delivery points, the report held. This form o f contract also would m ake it more practicable for the sm aller merchant to talk de livery! of cotton on future contracts, thus 3Ireducing the ’ tendency . to run- from delivery notices, the report: add ed. . . Another valuable, feature of the thfee-contiguous-contract, the report said, would be the--increases service ability of the future m arket for hedg ing by Improving through the increas ed merchant ability of the delivery the relationship of spots and futures. The commission recommended that only a few southern delivery points be selected, and that' they be confined to the Atlantic and gulf ports; that the delivery, inspection and certification of cotton at southern- ports be under rigid government supervision, and that' the deliveries be Only from-ware- houses licensed under the federal warehouse act, and that the tender of the cotton on futures at New York be no longer permitted. A reduction in the size of the delivery would render the contract more merchantable and at the same time would permit closer hedging, the report said. The commis sion pointed out that cotton put3 and calls are prohibited, by the rules of both cotton exchanges, those at New Orleans and New York, and should be eliminated by a prohibitive tax, like thq.t now in force for grain puts and calls. ‘ The committee advised : ^irainst abolishing the New York futures m ar ket on the grounds that New York has Important advantages oyer any other city and 13 the financial, and trading center of the world.

FAVDB F, FEDERAL RESERVE^BOARD SAYS EUROPE IS EXPERIENCING -A REVIVAL. . « . - - - -j- I W ashington. — Continued recession In almost every business field, with agricultural producers, favored by ris ing prices, constituting an outstanding exception to the trend, was shown in the Federal reserve board’s monthly review of business conditions made public. The countries of Europe at the same time were declared to be ex periencing a commercial revival of sizeable extent. Steel, textile, automobile and non- ferrous metal industries of the United States entered July with decreased em ployment, the review said, while rail road shipments, running 15. per cent below the volume of a year ago, and sales in distributing channels of the retail and wholesale trades alike drop ped off. Accompanying declines were noted in wholesale price levels and in' the volume of commercial loans ex tended by banks. ' The redeeming- condition in the line of agricultural production -was noted chiefly in the cereal growing regions, although cotton was said to be promis ing a fair sized crop at prices some what above spring levels. Drought in the western range country and bad weather in scattered tobacco growing sections were adverse faktors reported in the agricultural field. Building operations, which have pro ceeded a pace in the United States for many months, in June were declared to have shown seasonal contraction but to be still involving construction with a value considerably above aver age. Business activity abroad has sharp ened, the review stated, under the en couragement of better national fiscal and currency policies and, lessened tensity in international relations. “Economic conditions in Europe during the first half of 1924 have been characterized by an increase In dustrial activity.” - It was added, “a growth In domestic and foreign trade, and In many countries by smaller fluctuations in prices and exchange rates. Gountrles whose currencies de preciated violently In 1922' and 1923 have since adopted .financial reforms resulting during the year In greater stability,. and• In: consequence, business In those countries was no longer un der the coastant necessity, of adjust ing. itself to wide uncertainties in monetary values jand ways conducted more directly with reference to. gen eral economic developments.

Fort W orth, Texas.—The bodies of Dewlt Gooch and Miss Charles Reece were found under an overturned auto- mobile on the Lake W orth Road. They had left a party near the lake a t mid night given as a farewell to Goocht who was to have left for California. Miss Reece is a neice of Hiram W. Evans, imperial'- wizard of the Ku K lux'Klan.

"The second man was Easy, and he’s after my money. The way they’re traveling shows they’re teen to have it over with as soon as possible.” ‘Tm very wakan. My pictures are wakan. But. the pictures I see inside my head are taku wakan—most mys terious’ and wonderful. I dream of hawks, which is very lucky,” proudly retorted Scissors. “Now we must get back to the horses and ride fast. For there’s another gorge ahead and it’s possible Sorehead will begin to sus pect we’re off the road and ride down the gorge to head us off. I shall feel better when we are beyond it.” The gorge was reached and passed with no signs of the hard-riding horse men. Scissors’ simple face was very grave and he was studying the sur roundings sharply. “You seem to know lots about In juns,” complimented Dinsdale, now throwing off IiiS own abstraction. ■ “My mind is half red,” murmured Scissors. “Do you see anything to put you on edge?” "I see nothing, but I feel.' I’m wakan—I feel things before they hap pen.” “Sorehead- has guessed our trick?” “I feel red! It’s Indians I feel. There must be a big band quite close to the hills." “Nonsense.” scoffed Dinsdale. “I have been in the ghost lodge of the Ogalala and watched them bury the red cloth to please Unktelii, the water god, and his wife, the earth spirit., I have watched the . circle dance, when, they sang their songs to the Wakinyan, the thunderers. Many red men beli'ev*, the white men are whipped and these hills are at their mercy. I dreamed of a thunder-storm a few nights ago. That means a’ fight. “Your mind is red, all right” “I refuse to believe many supersti tions of the white men. Ahead is a branch of the Box Elder; we can camp there.” \ They crossed the head of the branch and halted at a bend where Dinsdale found the charred sticks of old cam- ' fires. Scissors picked up a rusty hunt ing knife and some empty cartridge shells. “Not Indian,” he said. "Too many fires. Too big. This must be where the Custer expedition camped in ’sev enty-four on its outward trip from the hills." To the east was a long ridge and be- yond that the plains began. The trav elers refrained front making a fife Uni til after sunSet for fear the smoke . might be seen by their pursuers. They dined on cooked meat and bread brought from Calvin's eating-house. After filling bis pipe Dinsdale endeav ored to learn something more about his companion's experience when a captive of the Indians, also something about his earlier antecedents, his birthplace, and the extent of his schooling. But Scissors for once was not responsive. He idly snipped pic tures of animals out of paper and ex plained they were lesser wakandas. When pressed- for his private history he showed impatience, and answered: “I forget. It was a very long time ago—before I ' became wakan witsha- sha’. A mystery man forgets useless things. See, now; a new picture. I could always do it.” And folding the paper several times he worked with his usual quickness and then opened the paper to disclose a chain of horsemen, the horses go ing at a mad gallop. “The fellows we saw riding up the stage road,” said Dinsdale. "If I could meet some of them in San Juan’s place I could get a dollar for it,” mused Scissors as he carefully refold ed the strip of figures. "Old Calvin wanted me to pay him a percentage for all I sold In the gambling hall.. I wouldn’t do it. The’ girl dealing Twen ty-one wouldn’t let him order me out. I hope nothing happens to Sitting Bull while I’m gone. The Chinese cook said he would feed him just as I told him to. I think he w ill; he’s afraid of me. Calls me a ‘devil man.’ I told him if the owl wasn’t all right when I got back I’d make many pictures of him without his queue. He squealed like a r a t Ahl I hear an owl now. Some one’s ghost is trying to tell me tilings.” ‘You give me the creeps,” sleepily said Dinsdale. They had rigged an extra blanket over some low hanging branches as a protection against the dew, and Dins dale crawled under this and was, soon. asleep. Scissors remained for an other hour, blinking at the coals and absent-mindedly playing with the scis sors. A long-eared owl called to the eye of the fire and a timber wolf howled jlismally. Covering the coals with gravel the picture man crawled In beside his companion. Sunrise was free from fog and the two were, up with lie first light and eating their prepnred food. Scissors was still apprehensive of danger,- for he would have no fire kindled. They went without coffee, and the omission made’ Dinsdale sullen. Shortly before noon they rode through the dry bed of Elk creek and by mid day arrived at Bear creek. Halting at Bear only long enough to rest their mounts and swallow some meat and bread they entered a wide valley, run ning north nnd south, with Bear butte showing six miles ahead. They camped on the lower fork of Bear Butte creek and Dinsdale’s mood improved when Scissors kindled a fire and placed the coffee on to boil. Scissors, too, was in a better , humor and he made an elaborate picture of the flat-topped butte. “W hat are they saying about me in Deadwood City, Scissors?” The picture-man seemed to be be fuddled for half a minute. He stared at Dinsdale stupidly while his wits tried to formulate an answer. At last he blurted out: “You ain’t blamed for killing Bandy, Allen. Some men whisper that you’re a road-agent. Others offer to bet' your’e a train robber.” “How would you bet?” “Train robber,” was tile prompt re ply ; and Scissors reached in his pocket for another piece of paper. “You have more style in throwing money around than the agents have.” “Still you think It’s, safe for me to go back to town?” “IJpi a mystery man. I see things other folks don’t see. There’s a woman who’d do you harm, yet she’d act fool ish if you’d be kind to her. She’s talking and trying to make medicine against you. But folks thinks she’s jealous’ San- Juan Joe is your friend. He speaks good words to the men of the city council about you. H e tells them you’re going into a business deal With him. Then there’s the way you came through Bed canyon. Folks can’t forget that. Every time they see the little girl they remember that. AU that’s against you is just talk. Bad talk.” I “Scissors, I sweep my hat low . to you.. You have some brains: I believe you’ve read the cards right—all except about the jealous woman.” “Every one believes that. The wom an shows it in lots of her talk. There’s no other, explanation for, the way ^he gets after you. lThe town was stirred up a bit over Allen’s death for a day' or so, but.now decent folks are glad he’s dead. If you go back and quiet ' down no one will trouble you: “San Juan tells-every one you and he are to organize a flume company to supply hydraulic power. That.catches every one’s fancy. Six men killed by Indians, within four miles of Dead- wood since you went away. Patrick, and Saulsbury offer, five hundred rt? ward for, the-capture of any. man who helped run off .twenty head of their best stock from, the French Creek sta-' tton. They threaten to stop .their, stages if the horse .thieves aren’t caught: pretty soon.' So you see the gulch has Other-things on its mind be sides you and your 'I see. Any strangers In town?” ■ Scissors gaped! In mild amazement. . “Strangers? Why, you must know they’re coming and going all' the time. Only they don’t go far because of the Indians.” • Dinsdale puffed his pipe In silence for a minute, then ask ed :. “Ever you hear anything about a fellow called Omaha?” Scissors pursed his lips and screwed up his whimsical features lIn an effort to remember. Then he slowly said: “Name sounds familiar. Maybe it’s because of the city by that name. Queer name S or a man to have.” Dinsdale lapsed into meditation and did not hear the rambling talk of his companion, Including a lengthy expla nation of the various Siouan cults. He revealed his abstraction when he sud denly inquired: “See anything of the girl I brought out of Bed canyon? Lottie Carl is her name. She’s staying with Widow Colt.” , Scissors nodded eagerly. ‘T ve seen her on the street with Mrs. Colt. She never goes out alone. That makes me remember something else—Kitty the Schemer w ent' to the Colt house. The'widow sent her out ■flying. They - say. K itty was mad enough to chew up a harness. I’d for: gotten all about that.” "So?” gritted Dinsdale. “How much more have you forgotten?” “I don’t know,” was the frank re ply. “Probably a lot. Since I became wakan I’ve forgotten lots of foolish stuff.” "Please don’t forget we’re going back to Deadwood City. When .do we strike for the gulch?” “We’re wide of the stage road, and better so,” readily replied Scissors. “Those men on horseback will string out and trail along In twos and threes right into the gulch. Some of them will even risk riding into the town. Each one will be watching out for you. If we follow the middle branch of this, creek to Its head we’ll be only a few miles south of Deadwood. There’s an old trail that we can take.” “Listen, Scissors; I’m not afraid of those horse thieves trying any game close to Deadwood. Let’s take the most direct way to town. I’m kpen; to get back.” Scissors grinned cunningly. “Strike right out and have you get into a fight?” he said. “You’d say you’d killed a horse thief. How would you prove it? The tow’n would say you’re a natural-born gun fighter and always looking for trouble. They’d re member you left a dead man behind when you lit out with Pyrites. It would never do to mark your1 return w ith'another dead man. San Juan Joe said—I just remember it this minute— that you couldn’t stand having an other killing to your credit till the first one is forgotten. He has lots of influence In town, but he can’t use it all up on one man.” Dinsdale took, a few farewell puffs at his pipe and knocked out the heel, and surrendered. • ‘Tm not looking for trouble. I’m ready for the middle fork of this He Found W here'Someone Had Dug Into the Marly Shalo. creek. We’ll make town as soon as possible, and without making-the eagle scream.” ‘ “That’s my notion,” heartily in dorsed Sdssprs. “Turning In? ; Think PU sit up a while and think things out. , I don’t sleep well.. Too many dreams. Some are bad. Price a man pays for being wakan.” ' Nor did Dinsdale rest well that night. He dreamed of-Lottie Carl be ing Jn the power of Kitty/ the Schemer, o f. Mayor Farnum suddenly turning Into, a savage, of San Juan being killed in a fight He was up early and wondering what could be tlie mat ter- with his nerves. He walked some distance from the camp. In the hope 'th at exercise would clear away his feeling of depression. He found, where some . ,one had. dug into the mafly shale, and, being ignorimt: of gfeolvgy, was much surprised - tv : discover fish spines and a colled cephalppod In the broken formation. H e carried his dis coveries back; to display .to Scissors. The picture-man was setting out the last of their m eat Finishing his'task he explained: ■ "Either Indians, while hunting for a new medicine, or the men with the ,’seventy-four expedition did i t The ex pedition quit the hills along about here, for they visited Bear butte. We can visit the butte,, too, if you Oare to. It’s only five miles from here and but a short distance beyond the middle fork, where we’re bound for. Won’t take more’n thirty minutes to climb i t From the top we can' see all over creation. If Easy, and h'is friends are between us and Deadwood they’ll be sure to have a camp and show a smoke.” ‘ The conical mass of Mato Tipi, ris ing abruptly from the plains to a height of twelve hundred feet, pre sented a singular appearance and one that appealed strongly _to Dinsdale’s love for the unusual. Already It had a distinct personality for him, an at mosphere resting on legends and the beliefs of the red men. On being questioned Scissors said it w as difficult to climb unless one followed paths from the northwest or southeast sides. “Do you want to visit the top?” asked Dinsdale. “Only for the sake of looking for a hostile smoke. If alone I’d want to go, as it was there, at the top,of Mato Tipi, that I gave the Ogalala Teton the slip. I went with a band to place small rocks in the trees in memory of the dead. I came down the southeast slope In the dark.” “An hour or two won’t make any difference. We’ll climb it and have a look around.” agreed Dinsdale. Secretly pleased at this decision Scissors brought up the horses and a short ride brought them to the middle fork of the creek. Splashing through the shallow waters Scissors led the way toward the southeast slope. As they advanced the mystery place be came even more interesting. Dinsdale was surprised to discover he was an ticipating pleasure from the. trip. They dismounted at a stretch of scrub-spruce at the base of the butte and Dinsdalewas astounded at the ab rupt change In his companion's de portment. It w as as if the influence of Mato Tipi, the Grizzly Bear lodge, had reached down and gripped the picture- man and had stripped him of reason. From his pocket he produced the string of horsemen, cut out at the for mer camp, and, singing in the Teton dialect, proceeded to detach the fore most rider and pin the lo n | strip and the single picture around Dinsdale’s hat. “W hat the devil!” sharply demand ed Dinsdale, -submitting to the decora tion because of his surprise. _ “Don’t do anything. Don’t look, liott’t say anything. Don’t touch a gun. We’ve run Into a trap,” whis pered Scissors. “Indians?" m uttered Dinsdale, stand ing motionless. “In the scrub just beyond the mouth of the path. They’ll rifldle us if.w e try to m ount Do as I do and show no fear, when they break cover.” He kneeled and began picking up small rocks, searching for those round and unweathered. Dinsdale dropped down beside him and blindly imitated his example. And as he picked up the stones Scissors sang in English the song he- had sung In the T eton: F ro m everyw here th e y com e flying, F rom th e n o rth th e w ind is blow ing to earth , R a ttlin g , flying, th e y com e, th e y com e. F rom everyw here th e y com e. He ceased singing and made a little mound of the stones, using those Dins dale had collected as well as his own. On top of the pile he placed his pic ture of Mato Tipi with a single stone to keep It from blowing away. Then rising to his feet and throwing back his head so as to gaze at the top of. the- butte he shouted in the T eton: ■ “Men from the earth we are. I have sung about something, for which have pity on us I” Tb Dinsdale he whispered: - “More rocks and. do as I do. I have repeated a Teton prayer to Tunkan.” As he spoke he finished gathering rocks, this time taking no care as to their shape, and walked to a tree and began placing them between the branches. Dinsdale did likewise. Now came the last te st Slowly ad vancing toward the mouth of the path, by the side of which were crouched the Indians, and holding a rock in each hand,'Sdssprs began shouting: “Thdy really say a white man turns red and comes to your mountain, O Tunkasila (grandfather),, for help to escape from white men.” They passed through a fringe of sage, and Scissors stretched out his hands to brush the bushes back from the mouth of the path, and Dinsdale caught his first glimpse of the hidden, warriors, several, copper-colored faces glaring, several copper hands clutch ing rifles and revolvers. Then they were swarming ojut o f their ambuscade and were, aiming their weapons at the two White, men. Nimble hands: plucked the. revolvers from Dinsdale’s belt and searched Scissors in vain for arms. A warrior ran to the two horses and se cured Dinsdale’s rifle. Then the two were hurled to the ground. “Show no' fight,” m uttered Scissors.1 To his savage captors he boldly cried- . “Ha-a-a, warriors! They say I come back to you with: my two knives talk ing; They really say I bring a man who runs from the whites to save his life. No Strong Hearts, who follow Tatankaiyotalie (Sitting Bull) : are here,?for I see no war-bonnets made from the tail-feathers of eagles with horns worn on /the ,front. I see no old mmi Whd-belong to the White Horse piuers. - I ' di)' not see Wasecliuntas- hunka_ (American Horse), m y brother Two Knives Talking sees only strange^ warriors. .He sees, one with a cross on his tobacco bag and knows he is called WawokiyapI (Helper of the Helpless) because he carried a wounded friend out of a fight H e sees a feather standing a t the back of the head and knows the m an haq_ killed an enemy without any hurt to himself. H e sees a man who. has struck an enemy and w ears his feather across the back of his head. H e sees a m an who has given lfts flesh to W akantanka in the sun dance and carried six -buffalo skulls. H e sees another whose vow to W akantanka brought him ' many cuts on his arm s and chest “For such men W akantanka has but one path. They must follow it even when- it surely leads to death. Xet these men are not my friends.- For they throw me down on the ground, and they throw my friend down beside me,- They m ake ready to kill us. W hat have we done that these strange Warriors should treat us so, when the mighty Tashunca-uitco (Crazy Horse) would' call us ‘brothers,’ and stretch out the left hand because his-heart is on.that side? Tashunca-uitco does not see his friend, Two Knives Talking; and the other white man, who runs from the whites. H is ears are closed, or he would hear my voice when I sing the song made for Mato Tipl— ‘W akanyan make Io mato tipi ca’—” he began‘singing. “In a sacred man ner I am sitting at B ear lodge.” This voluble harangue, and the fact that there w as none of the Ogalala who had not seen or heard of Scis sors, staved off -immediate mutilation. Although deeply Impressed by Scis sors’ speech and songs the Indians did not release the white men, but held them flat on their backs and glared at them ferociously. “Why do white men call out to Tunkan and sing the Mato Tlpi song?” harshly demanded a man whose face was crossed. by a scarcely healed wound, and whose arm s and chest bore many welts—W akantanka’s •re ceipts for vows fulfilled In various sun dances. . “Are we Shoshoni and should we sing to the moon?” countered Scissors. “We come to Mato Tip! to place stones to the dead. Then we would go to the camp .of Crazy Horse. Now we are on our backs, looking up at the home of the thunders.” The leader’s visage continued fierce and unrelenting, yet he refrained from speaking the word that would precip itate the butchery. A fter a minute of silence he sullenly said: “L ittle Big Man has no white broth ers. A voice says the white men go to fight with WIchakpayamani (Three- stars—Crook’s Sioux name). They go to help fight against the Dakota.1 “The voice lies,” tersely corrected Scissors. “W hat is the medicine on the hat of the white man?” “W hite men tried to kill him. They say he sold a wagon of cartridges to the’ Cheyennes. H e is . a friend of High Wolf, the Cheyenne medicine man.” The dots of perspiration on ■ Dins dale’s face would have doubled had he understood this bold avowal. Scis sors knew his statem ent was a des perate gamble. The effect on the war riors was pronounced, although they betrayed nothing except to look more closely' at the paper pictures on Dins dale’s h a t One of them picked it up, and ail quickly understood th e ‘story the pictures were m eant to tell. The spirited action of .the galloping horses appealed to them. The horseman a few inches ahead of the united string was Dinsdale, of course. That all should be identical in outline impressed them as being very wakan. Wliite men had sold metallic cartridges to the hostiles, and within a month a man bad been caught with a wagon, filled with munitions, bound for a northern village. But if High Wolf, famous mystery m an and w earer of a necklace of human fingers, should be within reach of a messenger the lie would be exposed offhand. One of the warriors called attention to the paper picture of the butte. Ex cept those holding the prisoners to ground, all advanced to this and ex amined it carefully. The small mound of Tunkan-stones, together with the outline, formed a combination that Little Big Man dared not trifle with. He talked aside with a middle-aged warrior, then gave an order. One of the group'produced a 'small m irror and ran into the path leading up the butte. To Scissors the leader said: “Soon it will be known in Tashunca-uitco’s camp a t Slim Butte that Two Knives Talking and another white man are In our camp.” The prisoners were .jerked to their feet, and no sooner were they erect than their hands were drawn behind them and fastened. Their horses were brought u p and they were helped to mount. Little Big Man and the older warrior rode in th l lead and struck off to the east of the butte and turned north. The entire party appeared to be lib erally supplied with ammunition, tfie bows being .intended .for game where a gunshot might give an alarm. A brisk- ride of twelve miles and the party w as fording the - strong muddy current of the 'Belle Fourche, where once the Cheyennes had raised their com. On the north-bank-, a n ' hour’s halt was made among the'cottonwoods to give the man with the m irror itime to rejoin them. H e came up a t a handsome gallop and. the journey was resumed;. A few miles nflrth of the river and on the head, of Crow creek warriors and captives .rode into a temporary. Campv . A dozen warriors rushed. ,forward, shouting and brandishing their knives, as the prisoners were, brought Into cam p , Little Big Man , shouted for several minutes In a stentorian voice.

They happened. Motor accidents will al ways happen on good roads or bad. However the total number of such tragedies may be reduced, and can be reduced. The Nation-widecampaign against reckless driving and the issuance of licenses to incompetents, is-no doubt having its result in a reduction of motor fatalities. But the campaign must be even more intensive, to be elfective. Some statistics on auto mobile fatalities in the United States daring 1923, complied by TheAmerL c.an City Magazine, show the appal ling proportions to which human life is being snuffed out in the operation of motor cars. Approximately 15.700 lives—-an average of 43 each day—were lost in motor' vehicle aciid .ntsin the United State in 1928, excluding fatalities as the result of-grade crossing accidents This total is an increase of nearly 2,- OOO over the previous year. . The figures were cpmplied on the basis of statistics supplied by. the health officers of 135 American cities with an aggregate . population, of more than 30,000 000 peop’e. There fore, if the total retuns from small towns and even the rural districts were ineluded, tile grand total num ber of fatalities would be swelled very materially. The heartbreaking feature of the report shows that more one third of the deaths were children ■ A remedy DraII this is suggested by T .D Pratt, general manager of the Motor Truch Association. of America He. says in part: ,. ■-“•—The way to.elirninafepreventable, accidents is to removfe from the road the driver who has to slop - to think what to do in an emergency, as well as the careless, the callous, and the selfi-h road-hog This can be dor.e dmost to perfection, when measured by human standards, within a few y’ears, provided unified effort can be brought to bear on "the subject Like all epochal charges it is simpli city itself. "The method to be used is the ex aminrng of all drivers of motor ve hicles who are concerned in a motor vehicle accide nt whh a proper pay chological and practical driving test, which will ascertian their, fitness to drive. Prohibitthem fiom driving after such accidents, until they have passed this test. . . One has to dig deep into the fundamental causes of accidents before the real primal reason is found: ' ■ "During the war the Army estab lishment ceitain testing grounds on which were tested all applicants who wished to drive Army cars and trucks. Inarecordcomprisingncar 100.000 cases it was shown that a large percentane of the applicants, from one quarter to one-third, failed ,to pass the test, the first time they tried it. It was also found—and this is the crux of the; whole problem1^ t'.’at'less than five per cent of those who failed or. the first examination were ever able to pass thereafter, regardless of the number of the atteiripts they made on re-examina tion”—Charlotte Observer. As the Post editor wrote, “Calvin Tboolidge has the confidence of. the people, the element that politicians and statesmen alike so often strive and scheme for in vain . . ... .The people feel, Democrats-as well as Republicans, that he will: do- Iiis duty unflinchingly and unafraid . . . . They are confident that, regardless of the effect on his per sonal political fortunes, . lip will stand for measures that are-wise ai.d that will rebound to the weir, fare of all classes of citizens. A- gainst such a deep-seated aud wider spread confidence, his opposition of shallow ahd shortsighted thinkers is an ineffective as the weaves beat ing on the rock-bound shore.” - With such a man at the head of the Government,'“Why change?” —Ex. /.'■.. A Go-Getter, Chas G. Dawes doesn’t seem to care so much about hot air and technicalities as he does results. This fact was particular service as purchasing agent for our govern ment in France during the war, and in his work Jn preparing a na tional budget system, * Dawes struck at the root of. the farmers' troubje lack of a sufficient foreign market—when he framed a reparation plan under which Ger many and all of Europe's could revive aud prosper, for iu opera tion ""that plan//wotild, increase Europe’s ability, to buy American n Aad Cam. .

To Raise Salaries. Under Certain :■■■■> Conditions. President Coolidger, Fiiday, pro mised to support a ; bill to increase the wage of postal clerks and other enployes to be submitted’to the next session of Congress. The President made the promise to C. P Franfcis. president Of theNational Association of Post office Clei-ks of the United States and John J Grogan, ieirets y of that organization in a ccnftrence with him on that subject.. He said he would support the wage increase bill for the 300,000 postal employes, provided it issciemifieally drawn and provides a means of rtis- ing the needed revenue. He explain- that the post office department is making a survey of the receipts and expenditures which will be complet ed .in September and . that a new schedule is to adopted based on that survey. . The President said his idea is that the wage increase" should be taken care of in the proposed new schedule of rates, in which event, he will gladly sign a Dill to increase the wages of the clerks and other em ployes of the postoffice department. Foancis said after the conference that he told the President the postal employes are much provoked over the veto of the wage increase bill by the executive at last session of Con- gress and as a result the morals of the force has been reduced. How ever. Francis said be i3 sure there will be no political reprisals and that the employes will be greatly cheered by the promise of increased pay by the next congress t}je- President ve^ toed t he _bi IT /'replassfy' rig' salaries ' of postmasters and employes of- the postal services” because the. bill would.have lidded $68,000,000 to the annual exZenditures of the govern ment. 'The President stated: “the money must come from the pockets of the taxpayers Before such 'ob ligations are created it should be conclusively shown that they are es sential’to the.best inti r ‘sts of the nation. Government extravagance must stop Tho-people of the nation are paying all -that it is possible for them to pay.”. — -Siuce 19I9 the salaries of postal employes have been adjust three times, resulting in increases of a- bput $450,000,000 in salaries from, 1919'to 1923.- • ' '. At present the average salaries are: poftoffice clerks, $1,751; -post office carries $1,752 83; railway post-' al clerks," $2,107; rural'carriers, $1,849 52. .' , With this attractive salaries the eligible list of the civic service com mission is filled to the brim.and with an almost certain increase when con gress meets there will be a greater than ever for these positions.

The Charlotte Ooserver actually goes so far as to say editorially that President Coolidge’s speech of acceptance was a good one. What do you know about that? Coolidge and Davis have been no tified that they are the nominees of their party for president so they can now get busy and tell the ''ear 'peo ple why they should be elected. . Since Billy Bryan turned his complete somersault and swallowed Wall Street at one gulp some of the good democrats have even lost con fidence in his Sunday school talks. The square in Mocksville is go ing to be put in good shape and the hard-surface' roads connected up but not until the new board of count\r commissioners go in which will be the first of December Thsre are fools in all parties.

Clement; Grove on Thursday of last week was the biggest thing, that has ever been pulled off in Davie County. The big crowd has been estimated all the way from twelve, to twenty thousand, people. It is believed that a fair estimate would place the attendance at around 13,000. Neve'r iii the history of the county has there been as many automobiles as were here Thursday. Throughout the morning the crowds poured in from every direct tion and by noon the grounds and all streets fiom the square to the grove were crdwded with an eager throng from the Tnfant 111 arms to the old Confederate soldier. The space, from the grounds to the Southern depot was pack e l and jammed with automobile- ) and the cars were parked from near the square on North Main street to the incorporate "limits of . the town. Parking space was at £ premium. Cars were here from ten or fifteen states. The exercises opened* about- xi o’clock. ,The annual address' was' delivered by Dr. W. H. Frazier, President of Queen’s College, Char lotte. ^ The class from the Oxford Orphanage, rendered a number of songs and recitations. Jacob-Stew art was master of ceremenies. ■. A- bout i o'clock the exercises for the morning came to a close and one of the finest dinners ever spread in Davie greeted the eye of the hungry crowd. The sale of dinner tickets amounted to more than $100. over that, of last. year. In the afternoon a ; number of short addresses were delivered by former Davie county! people, a- mong them being Prof. Leon Cash, of Winston Salem, Rev. Richard Red wine, and others.; ^Music for the occasion was furnished by the Cooleemee band. At tour o’clock, the afternoon exercises we:e con cluded; a ball game was staged at Sunset Park between the Soutli- side team of Winston-Salem and the Cfioleeinee team. Tlie game was hard fought from start to'finisu and the score resulted in a four to three victory, for the Cooleemee boys. ' The lawn party, at night was more largely atteuded than hereto fore and the children from the. ^or phanage rendered a delightful con cert. There were many attractions around the grove,... consisting jof a merry-go-round, ferris wheel; chair- o-plane, Mutt & Jeff,- a vaudeville show, a number of minor attrac tions and.several games that some thought.shouldnot have been al lowed. Au airship was also present, iorthe occasion and did a good business. The behavior during the day was fine, only two:: or three cases of too much boozt being iu evidence. Only one accident mar red the day, that beitig when a man fell from the merry-go-round - and sustained some bruises. So far as we can learn there wasn’t an auto bile accident during the day and at least three thousand cars were here. Prom a financial standpoint the picnic was the biggest success . of any of. the previous occasions.-The day was ideal and the immense throngs kept the refreshment stands rushed throughout the day. The total receipts amounted to aimount to.about $3,000. A gentleman pre sent Vwho attended the Soldiers' ,Reunion at Newton two weeks ago, said that the'crowd here Thursday was larger than the crowd at New ton, which ,was estimated at about 15,000. The liar is always abroad in the land but he becomes more active as the campaign warms up. 'The wise "voter, both men and women, would do well to believe" no reports , that have been or that may be circulat ed about the various nominees for office.

I told her the camp on the island hadn’t hteu occupied for Hve year and more, and was falling into pieces, but she Uild 'Iave !t that that was Ivst J he ,,lace for her. “Tm studying nature,’ she says to me, ‘and next month one of the girls of our sketching flub is coming to stay with me. So we want a nice Ione- Iv place where there aren’t no men.’ ‘ “From tlie way Miss Sadie shot out the word ‘men,’ you’d have thought stie might have been speaking of crabs or mice, or any of them crea tures that the ladies find so objec tionable In general. However, I fixed up the shack somehow, and put on a new piece of tin here and there, to make it water-tight. Then I rowed her ever with her boy of provisions, and I looked to see her signaling for me to tome and take her off next day. Said slpai was to be a white handkerchief Ijed to the top of a pole, In token that Silss Sadie had had enough of loneli ness. “Had enough? Not much, sir. She fairly reveled In it. When she did hoist the handkerchief, five days later, Md I went over, I found all she wanted was some more flour. She’d feed up the place as comfortable as you can believe. She’d chopped about tro cords of firewood, and done a couple of canvases besides, and when I pulled ashore she was sitting over the fire, making toast. “ lTes1 I think I shall spend the whole summer here,’ she says to me. ‘And maybe Miss Jones will join me later. I can’t tell you how obliged to rou I am for sending me here. Fine views, fine sunsets, good fishing, plenty Io paint, and no insects or men.’ Tes. (hat’s the way she put it to me.

There’s a nice lonely place If you like. And there’s a camp there, too. Only, you see, once you’re there, you can’t get off -unless you send me a signal to come over with the boat’ “ T he very placet" says he, jumping at the idea. ‘When can you take me over there?’ ‘“ This afternoon, I suppose,’ I anr swered. , ‘“ And if I shall have reason to want to run ashore, you’ll come over the minute I put up the signal?’ he asks me. And I thinks to myself that ho means to keep his eyes peeled for Miss Sadie, after all. “ ‘Surely,’ I answers. ‘Just hoist a white rag or something on the flag pole. I’ll be over in about half an hour.’ “ ‘It’s a bargain,’ says young Mr. Eversleigh. And with that he didn’t give me no peace till I’d got out the boat and filled it Witlfstuff from Jlm Littlefield’s store, and started to row him across to Old Man’s Head. “I knew Miss Sadie would be sketch ing on the south Crocks that time' of the day, so I rowed him round to the north end on pretense of the tide be ing strong, and I showed him where the camp was In the distance. Then I pulled back as hard as I could and waited. “The day wore on toward afternoon, and I ‘reckoned that them two ought to have found each other, and I was looking to see the signal hoisted in a frantic sort of ,way. But there didn’t come no signal. I asked my missis about It, but she didn’t seem to en courage me, and so I started out about four o’clock rather In a panic and wondering what I ought to do. “First man l met was Beverend Stod- gers—you. remember him ,'don’t you? Sort of humorous chap, with a gTay beard and a twinkle when he looked at you. He’d come down by the after noon train. “ 'The very man I wanted to see,’ he says, catching holt of me. ‘Can you tell me—’ “ ‘Of a nice lonely place where you can .write a few sermons without be ing disturbed,’ I says. “ ‘Now bow in thunder did you know?’ he inquired, letting go of me and gapping at me. “ ‘Never mind,’ I answers him. ‘What you want is Old Man’s Head, over yonder. I can get you a box of pro visions and row you over afore sun down. Only there ain’t no way of getting back unless you hoist the sig nal—which the same is a white rag on a pole.’ “ 'Take me there,’ says the rever end. ‘I w ant to breathe tbe'balm y sea air this night, after being cooped up. in—’ " ' ‘ “ ‘Not a word,’ I answers. ‘I know just how you feel. But I’ll be watch ing. till it grows dark, and If you’ve forgot anything, or w ant me, just hoist the signal and I’ll be over in a jiffy.’ “Well, sir, I calculated that by th tt time young Mr. Eversleigh and Miss Sadie would have decided that It was signaling time, and I didn’t want to see the flag just then. So I got the reverend and the provision box into the boat and pulled round to the north end. I showed him where the camp was, and I pulled for the shore again, reaching it Just about sundown. And there I sat and waited. “It was nearly too dark to see when the signal went up. “Off I goes, and the tbree of them was on the beach, waiting for me. I hadn’t hardly got out of the boat than young Mr. Eversleigh catches holt of me like a madman. ‘“ W hat do you mean by this in fernal trick you’ve played on me?’ “ ‘Trick?’ I asks; but I hadn’t time to go no further. ' "t ‘Trick, I said,’ he shouted. ‘Do you mean to maroon my wife and me In this confounded place all night? Pull your hardest, SI, for if you don’t makfe record tim e we’l l . never catch the night train for Boston.’ “And, as for m e/ says the reverend, •I shall seize the opportunity to com pose a sermon.’ “They caught the train all right, "I guess, for they didn’t show again. But Joe' Sikes, up to the hotel, has had a letter from him asking if he’ll reserve a room for them.

G. _ _ _ — —— ; I i - Dairy Bureau, I§ Now Established ♦More Complete Infonnation Needed on Fundamentals of All Branches. !Prepared by the United Statea Department' ot A griculture.) The establishment of a bureau of dairying in the United- States Depart ment of .Agriculture was announced on July 2- by Secretary Wallace, and at the same time lie announced the ap pointment of Dr. 0. W. Larson, chief of tlie dairy division of the bureau of animal industry, as chief of the new bureau. The act of congress, creating the bureau, approved by President Coolldge on May 29, provides that the secretary of agriculture may transfer to the bureau of dairying such activ ities of the Department of Agriculture as lie may designate as primarily re lated to the dairy industry. All of the dairy work heretofore carried- on by the bureau of animal industry has been transferred to the bureau of dairying and about 150 employees of the dairy division have been shifted to the new bureau. Appropriations for the fiscal year for carrying on dairy work In the department amount to approximately $400,000. Need of Dairy Industry. In discussing this latest development In the Department of Agriculture, Sec retary Wallace said that the need of flie dairy industry Is for more com plete information on the fundamentals underlying all its branches, and that the solution of the problems lies large ly in research. He also emphasized the need for better methods of feeding and care to enable dairymen to pro duce mills more economically. At the same time he spoke of .the necessity for even better sanitary conditions and Improved -methods for utilizing by products. Doctor Larson I^ well known to the farming and dairy interests to all parts of the country, having been en gaged In some branch of this work for the'past 20 years. He was born In Mitchell county, Iowa, In 1881, and was raised on a stoek farm , there. He was graduated from the Iowa State College of Agriculture In 1906 and for a sliort time was • connected with creamery and cheese factory work In Wisconsin and'Minnesota. .In IOOThe became a meinber of the faculty of Pennsylvania State college and In 1913 he was made professor In ’charge of the department of dairy husbandry. In 1916 he received the degree of doctor of philosophy from Columbifti univer sity and was appointed assistant pro fessor of agriculture and agricultural economics at that-university. In 1917 he joined the staff of the United States Department of Agriculture and since 1921 has been chief of the dairy divi sion of the bureau of animal Indus try. Plans for Bureau. The plans for the new bureau, says Doctor ' Larson, are quite largely a continuation of the work which has been going on for the past few years. It is his opinion that many of the fundamental problems of the industry are yet to be solved. ‘He plans to In troduce the results of research Into the industry- as rapidly as possible. Among the important lines of work which will be continued are the In troduction of co-operative bull associa tions, the statistical study of cow ’ testing associations, studies of the underlying principles of breeding to Insure, if possible, the same uniform ity In the transmission of high milk and butter fat producing capacity In dairy cattle as Is being secured with other characteristics by breeders of flowers, fruits, and grain. Special stress will be laid on the study of nu trition of dairy cattle, In which field considerable progress' Jas been made In the last few years. A nutrition barn and laboratory have recently been completed at the Beltsvllle farm near Washington. Herd management problems also are being studied at this farm, as well as experiments with silage, types c>f barns, and many other problems. The market milk investigations, which will be continued by the bu reau, will deal largely with studies In dairy sanitation and milk plant man agement. The purpose Is to save losses In unsaleable or low grade milk and tp effect economies In the prepara tion of fluid milk and cream foe de livery. . Work will be done on bac teriological and physical changes In . milk and cream iind studies, will be conducted oh labor requirements and the efficiency of dairy machinery. The Investigations In the manufac ture of da^ry products will be carried on, as'heretofore, at the creamery In Grove City, Pa., which is managed under the direction of the bureau of dairying, and also at the bureau laboratories In Washington. The Grove City creamery provides facili ties for putting into practice Jra commercial scale methods Tyhich have .been, worked out In ,the laboratory; Here work will continue on tlie prob' Iem of sweet cream butter, swlss cheese.' Ice cream, condensed milk, milk powder, and by-products. It Is not planned to enlarge the laboratories In the Immediate future, but according to Doctor Larson, they will be worked to fiill capacity Itf the attempt to solve tlie Important problems . of the In dustry. • •. i • - Increased Income. . Anyone having a ' complete set of poultry raising equipment can enlarge thflf operating season, as well as-their Incon'0. by “hatching sum m erchicks and raising them for the fall and holl ia v m orlrfitl S h e e p to E r a d ic a te W e e d s G a in s F a y o r Noxious Plants Turned Into Good Mutton and Wool. Perhaps the day will nevjer come when the weed pest will not be with us early and late. While you are planning a warfare on the various pestiferous weeds about your farm do not forget that sheep are the farmer’s friends In helping to eradicate weeds. Moreover, they turn the same weeds and other roughage not usually saved or harvested into good mutton and prime wool. EJvery fanner who is fixed with fences and markets and a little understanding of sheep nature and habits should, keep a small flock. If he is a sheep expert this advice is not for him, f<?r already such a man has on his place as many of the wool ly critters as he can care for. Sheep suffer from a number of ail ments and pests which often deter a beginner from making a start. Most of these troubles disappear with in telligent care. Before you let those pesky weeds go to seed this fall get small flock of sheep to clear them out of the way. The pasture, full of buck brush, steel weed or other nui sances’of the farria can be cleared• up until It looks like a lawn if you will turn sheep. or goats into It and run tlie mower over It a few times each season. There Is absolutely no use In giving over to weeds and brush half of your pasture land or Jiny of the cultivated' fields when a vigorous at tack on the robber weeds can be made successful with sheep and clean cul tivation. Avoid Jerky Movements in Examining Bee Hive It Is a mistake to suppose, as many do; that the chief characteristic' of a • bee Is Its sting. If manipulated with proper care and consideration for the bees, the chance of being stung Is re duced to a minimum. Hives should be examined during the day while the bees are working; they should be dis turbed as little as possible, especially on dull days or when rain threatens for at such times the bees are Uliely to be most irritable. They, should not be examined at night and only when necessary at other tim es; else the most sweet-tempered bees will have their characters changed.. Bdpld and Jerking movements should be avoided. When examining hives, do not keep them open too long and avoid examin ing, as much as possible, if the weath er Is cold, or the brood wlll tend to be chilled, as the temperature of the hive higher than the outside- tempera ture. Bees dislike black and It is pref erable to wear light clothes In the apiary. Before opening the hive fot examination, a few puffs of smoke should be sent into the entrance; when the cover is removed the quilt should be raised at one end and a few more puffs directed down between ~ the frames. This causes the bees to gorge themselves with honey, in which state they are more tractable. The hive should not be jarred In any way and alU: operations. should be carried on from' the side or back of the hive so that the free flight of the workers is not prevented In the least. MilletRecommendedas Trap Crop for Insects Millet Is recommended as a trap crop for chinch bugs and should be sown early enough that I t wUl have a height of about 4 to 6 Inches w hen. the bugs begin to migrate. A strip of. at least one drill width should planted. When the largest possible number of bugs are present they may be destroyed by plowing under the strip to a depth of about 7 lnchef and then firmihg the soil with a drag and ro lle r.o rth e y m a y be killed by' spraying.’ Chinch bugs will not bother com In which soy beans are . planted and this Is one of the ways with which many farmers are overcoming the pest. When no other provision has been made the dust trench and other similar barriers must be relied upon. KEEP YOUNG MALES AND EEMALES APART Unless the young males are of es pecially good breeding and show prom ise of exceptional merit, it Is In the long run more profitable to'sell them on the early m arket for fries th£h to hold them as breeders. The day of dollar and, dollar-and-a-half cockerels, for the farm flock is passing. There Is no profit in hatching, rearing, hold ing for several months, possibly ad vertising, and selling at such prices. Let them -go early, keeping only Uie best to make sure .of one’s own breed ing stock and blrcte> that are worthy a good price as breeders. Separate these from ■ the pullets. They do better when not running after the pullets, and the .pullets make a quicker growth when separated. Lack of shade will mar the plumage of all growing, stock. The. early fall fairs show up sunburned young stock which would have a better chance of winning If the owner had done his p a rt “A good bird In the hands of a poor breeder,” an obaeryer.at a poul try show said of a sunburned" cock,- LIttIe details add greatly to the chances of winning. We have heard breeders complain of prizes going to the back-yard poultry keeper, says the Indiana Farm er and Guide. These are without reason. The object of showing Is to exhibit the chickens at their best—to show how perfect they may become. The handiwork of the back-yard pdultryman Is bound to show In the grooming, but the farm er has the advantage of range, live meat In the shape of bugs and worms, and variety of seeds, which gives Iilm the advantage If he does not scorn the de tails sucli as separa tlng-the- sexes, giv ing shade and more than stanchion room to his flock. Feeding Young Turkeys During First Few Days In order to prevent the heavy losses which occur among young turkeys, greater care Is necessary, especially during the first four weeks. Poults should not be fed for 48 to 60 hours, then they should be given some, fine grit or finely-chopped egg shell. Care should be exercised that an ample sup ply of sour milk, milk curd, or cottage cheese Is available. For feeding the first few days, much the same feeds and methods as are 1Used'for baby chicks may be fol lowed, the only difference-being'that In feeding little turkeys even greater care should be exercised not to over feed. Oatmeal, harU-boiled eggs, crum bled shell and all, and johnny -cake have been found satisfactory. The poults may be gradually changed'to a good-grade chick scratch, sifted finely- cracked com, cracked wheat and pin-' head oats, with a mash mixture such as is used for little chicks.

It is the farm er and poultry- man who bear the cost of spoiled eggs. It is not unusual for cases of eggs to contain a few hatched chicks when they reach the produce house,- and for other eggs to be well on the: wsiy toward hatching. incubators and broody hens are not necessary to start the process of In cubation. Fertile eggs will begin to develop chicks at a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit.' The way to do away with fertility In eggs Is to remove all males, from the flock for two or three ..weeks pre vious'- to' shipping .eggs. .

HELPFUL HlKlTS During the summer months try to make- the housework as light as' pos sible for yourself and family. If even the tiny people are taught to crire for their own belongings, hang up wraps and caps and put away toys it will save the- housemother many steps. If possible, and not adding too much distance from the kitchen range, have the meals on a porch, using paper napkins, oil-cloth tablecloth or dollies, and thus, save the family linen as well as yourself. Mothers often rem ark: “It Is easier to .do things mysejf than, to see that the'children do them.” If -no in ju s tice were done to herself, It is har.lly fair that a child should be untrained In usefulness. It takes effort to teach anything even to a small puppy; one has to go..over and over the lessons, blit we all know It is. quite worth while, for training isn’t for the day, but for the life. Save a jew minutes In every piece of work possible; wash the potatoes with one of tlie magic m itts that will take off nearly a ll of -the skin and then boil a kettleful at a time. Serve them hot for dinner, fried for supper or for potato salad. ' Put alrd lsh e3 In soak , as soon as used. If possible, get one of the Targe round dish drainers w ith a centerpiece to hold the flat silver. When the dishes are washed they may be scald ed In this drainer, set Into a pan and left .'to dry In the sink, needing no wiping, except the cutlery.

Smith ,commander of the American round-the-world flight, has decided to give up the propsed flight from Reykjavik to Angmagealik, on the east coast of Greenland, and with Lieutennnt Erik Nelson will fly instead to Fredericksdel, on the southwestern, point of Greenland, a short distance from Cape Farewell. The correspondent of the Associated Press found Smith and Nelson study ing large maps of Greenland, making measurements of distance and devia tion. The jump from Reykjavik to Fredencksdel will be the longest of all they have attempted in their world night, about S25 miles. It is estim ated that without stopping the airmen will be forced to fly about 12 hours. Both Lieutenant Smith and Lieuten ant Nelson appeared to be cheerful ■over the decision to go to Fredericks- dal. Lieutenant Smith said he was very glad that the question of a Ia1Ud- Iag place had been settled and that he and Nelson would start from Rey kjavik the first day weather conditions are favorable. RTiile the correspondent was talking vlth the American fliers, Lieutenant: tocatelli, the Italian airman who reach ed Reykjavik from Hoefn Hornajford, tailed on Lieutenant Smith and handed him a letter from the American air at tache of the embassy in Rome. The Ieter was 20 days old. - -London.—The. story of the Lon- , don conference closed.with h note1 I worthy incident The signing of I the douments was ended, and the B ritish prime m inister, Ramsey MacDonald, was shaking hands all around. W hen he came to Chancellor Marx, the prime minister, still grip- ping the chancellor's hands,' led him to where M. Herrot, the French premier, was standing surrounded by friends. W ithout a word, so' the story goes, Mr. MacDonald, lifted H. Herriot’s right hand and joined it with that of Dr. Marx. Then he stepped back; smiling genially, while the French man and the German tightened the grip and shodk hands cordially. ■ • 20 MILLION DOLLARS NEEDED FOR RELIEF WORK; MILLIONS LEFT HOMELESS. W ashington.—M inister Schurman at Peking reported to the state depart m ent that, according to figures obtain ed from the China international relief commission, $20,000,000 - Mexican, will; be needed for relief operations in con nection with floods in China.' The commission estim ated 5,000,- 000 Chinese would be affected by the food shortage. The m inister reported the situation as “very serious,” adding that the spring, crops had been destroy ed over wide areas by the rain. W ater will rem ain oyer large" areas for some m onths so that w inter wheat can not be planted. Shanghais—Millions have been ren dered homeless and at ^ least 50,000 persons hare been drowned in the de vastating floods which are; sweeping widespread areas of China, submerg ing tens of thousands of villages. Thousands of refugees are pouring into Peking. It is impossible to get even ah approximate of the fatalities, but 50,000 is said to be a conservative estimate. Attempted to Land At lens. Habana, Cuba.—Jose Lozada as own er and Jose TJrruchu as captain.of the small Nicaraguan steamer Pilar, were, tel din $300 bond each on charges by tie Habana port police that the Pllar attempted to land with 27 aliens, who, it is said, were to be smuggled into Florida.

Spencer. -With something like 10,- 000 visitors in attendance and with suitable ceremonies presided over by Congressman W. C. Hammer, of Ashe- boro, the mammoth steel and concrete double width bridge spanning the' Yadkin river at Spencer was thrown open to traffic between W ashington and Florida at noon Friday. ■ On behalf of the contractors, H. B. Hardaway and company, the bridge was presented to the state highway association by Major Wade H. Phillips, of Lexington ,whose address was both inspiring and instructive. 'T he speak er brought out a vast amount of in formation relative to the ’splendid structure, the history of the movement and the Vealizatlon of a dream of the highway enthusiasts.. The principal speaker of the day, however, was Attorney W. L. Cahoon, of Elizabeth City, representing Chair-- man Frank Page and the 10 business men located in various parts of North Carolina comprising the state highway association. He told the great crowd that this great bridge connecting the east and the west is not only a splendid and use ful structure but that it represents the very blood and brawn of the best that North Carolina . produces. He cited the fact that the man who de signed the bridge, W. L. Craven, is a native of Cabarrus county; that the chief engineer on the job, J. B- Prid gen, is a native of the state, and that the contractor was born in North Carolina. - The bridge was accepted as rep resenting the last word in engineering and structural skill. The speaker explained that the state has kept a census , of traffic over the old toll bridge discarded, and that the tolls have amounted to $300 per day for a long time and that the new bridge will mean just that much saved to-the public. This will pay for the bridge in two years. . Dr. George S. Howard, of the State University, was called on and made a ringing talk on the relation of good roads and bridges to the educational movement. The' new bridge, which had been under construction for more than a year, cost $200,000, is 1;300 feet-.lbng,; parallels the main line of the South ern railway at Spencer and stands 60 feet above the waters of the Yadkin river. . W. F. MorriBon, of Statesville, .was the engineer in charge-of the struc tural work on the bridge while Kar! Sloan is the resident engineer on the road work throughout this section. Cottor.

CHAPTER VIII—Continued. —9-— “To be free of 'Little BIg Man’s clumsy cords is easy for the medicine of Two Knives Talking,” gravely as sured Scissors. “Will he find the road to SUm butte open?” And he brought his hands before him to show they, were free. With a yelp Little Blg Man turned and called loudly. W arriors came on the run. “Two Knives Talking has untied the rawhide,” grunted the-leader. Two warriors advanced to Scissors and pawed about behind him, but could find no vestige of the thongs. “Two Knives Talking’s medicine ate them up,” explained Scissors. “Are the Ogalala afraid I will fly up among the thunder birds, that they must tie me.?” The leader snapped out an order and fresh thongs were brought and Scissors tied up for the second time. ' “Wliat the devil did you .do with the cords?” whispered Dinsdale from the comer of his mouth. “In your side pocket,” yawned Scissors. l Little BIg Man harshly, demanded: “Why do white men rideiout to Mato Tipl and place rocks in trees?” “Because we are turning red,” was the prompt reply. “Where Is Wlchakpa-yamanl (Gen eral Crook) now?” “When I am treated, as a brother my medicine will .tell you,” coldly re plied Scissors. * . ' “They say you will talk with a very fast tongue when you feel the skin ning knives," threatened LltMe BIg Man. Scissors smiled tolerantly and said: “Crazy Horse will soon set his friend free to walk where he will.” “Two Knives Talking'has- a weak medicine. It freed him once; now It is very tired,” jeered Little Big Man. “My young men may not wait for you to see Tashunca-uitco. They say they want white skin for medicine shirts. They say they are sharpening their knives." “Little Big Man talks like a Sho- Bhonl singing to the -moon,” sneered Scissors. “A very wakan man never Bleeps.” And to the consternation of the spec* tators he again brought his hands be fore him. Men rushed: upon' him hut the cords had vanished; L ittle' Big Man glared murderously, then, grew uneasy. A doubt was sprouting. In his mind, Mato Tlpi was sacred ground, and those wpo prayed, to .Tnnkan through rock? and stones- most be very, careful pot to give'offense. Tlie prisoners, w.eire white, yet vthey bad been captured, taken, by surprise. when placing rocks In the trees. Scis sors read the tumult In th e ' man's mind and whispered encouragement to Dinsdale. Little Blg M an. gave an order and both men-were released and conduct ed outside the lodge and tied to the medicine pole, from which hung the strangled puppy.. A warrior was told to sit behind them to watch 'their hands. The warrior obeyed, but did not fancy the task, for it was like spy ing on some agency controlled by Tunkan. To Dinsdale Scissors said; “They’re badly worried. Every hour we’re kept alive improves our chances. Little BIg Man won't dare hurt us until he hears from Crazy Horse. Al ready he has sent a messenger to Slim* butte to fill In the details of the mirror-message.” .The warrior behind him ,reached a hand forward and roughly clapped It over his mouth. Scissors’ left hand shot to the front and caught the of fending palm and at the same time his right hand darted up under the armpit and, pulling and pushing, he sent the guard rolling headlong. The inmp was In an uproar In an instant, ti»e warriors scrambling for th^lr weapons. Scissors sternly called out: ■The Ogalala are very foolish. My medicine will grow very angry. Some of you will go to Mato Tlpi tonight as ghosts. W tat do you mean by treating the friends of your w ar chief In this way? Are we Crows or Poncas?” Little Big Man chewed his lips and puzzled over the situation.. To leave the prisoners', hands free was to con fess failure.1 To tie them up was use less. His quandary was Interrupted by the fapid drumming of flying hoofs. A pony raced in among the lodges and a rider threw himself to the ground. W ith*a gleam of hope.lighting his sullen eyes, Little BIg Man called on the man to speak. \ ‘Tashunca-uitco and Shunca-luta, his medicine man, even now arg' rid ing to this camp,” announced the man. “They were on the' way here with a dozen warriors when Little Big Man's first messenger met them and told them about‘the white men. They will be here very soon.’ “It is good!” cried Little Big Man in great relief. “W hat’s he saying?’' m uttered''Dins dale. *• “Crazy Horse and his medicine man, Sorrel Horse, will arrive In a minute or so. I am very wakan, but only Taku Wakan can straighten this mess out. If only Crazy Horse was coming It would be better. ’ Sorrel. Horse is jealous of all medicine menu He'll work to have us skinned alive. But a man ain't done for so long as he can hope.” CHAPTER IX The Duel of the Medicines Although Crazy Horse and Sorrel Horse rode into Little B ig ' Man’s camp shortly before midnight the prisoners saw nothing of either. Be fore the great, leader of the liostlles arrived the white men were, conducted back to the lodge, and the flap tight ly closed. A small fire was lighted in side and by its light three warriors stood on guard to prevent any attempt at escape.’ Dinsdale was asleep when the war chief and his escort of. a dozen men made the camp and was aroused by. the commotion. ; On.opening his eyes fie beheld the three silent figures of the guards, their eyes reflecting the light from the heap of coals. Scissors was awaice, and whispered: ‘If I can have a .talk with Crazy Horse I think we would, b.e all right for a while. But that Shunca-luta will try to keep between us. He ranks high' as a mystery man and is a fair magician and ventriloquist. He claims to get his help from Taskuslranskan, their moving god, who ■ lives In the four-winds and Is, never seen, but. is represented by. Tunkan, who In turn is prayed to through rocks.and stones. Queer, mess. Beckon a ,white man can never get it all straightened out.'. I matte; a picture of Sorrel Horse when I was prisoner that other; time, and it . scared him. He’s -bound to work against us. But I’m . wafean; • • Wish Crazy Horse would come In to look us over.” Scissors would have felt more at ease had he known that the chief’s first desire was to have the .prisoners, brought before, him. Sorrel. Horse, however, requested time for consult ing his medicine, -and reported back to the chief that it would, be better to wait .until the sun rode the sky. Al though '!considerably dlsturbedi that the chief , should ignore him. Scissors dissimulated and Dihsdale fell asleep a'nd did not awaken until morning. W ith the sunrise came another kettle of irieat. Scissors pronounced It to be mule deer and Dinsdale ate heartily. After-they had eaten. Little Blg Man visited, them, and; he could not con ceal his secret : exultation. Scissors pretended hot to see him, .and after, .waiting .Beveral minutes thfe Indian* said.;.' . ‘ “Now Shunca-luta has, come ./'Two Khivek Talking has lost both his ined- Iclnie and tongue. They say the/white m an was tied, up ell night, a'nd could not get free.” , Sdssors, who had finished 'his bowl 1 5 B y H U G H PE N D E X T E R Copyright by The Bobbs-MerrlIl Co. of meat and had his hands free, picked up some thongs his guards had left on the ground and rolled them into a small ball and held them In one palm. Then his fingers closed over them, contracting as If squeezing them Into- a very small compass, then flew open and the ball had vanished. ^ Little BIg Man.scowled malevolent ly. Scissors said: “Two Knives Talking finds his med icine is still strong. It grows weary of working on children. Send In Shunca-luta with his medicine. Then we shall see.” Just outside the entrance a deep voice boomed: “The white man’s med icine is very strong. But the medi cine of Shunca-luta will eat It up. Two Knives Talking once ran away from the Ogalala. Now ,Shunca-luta’s medicine brings him back. This time, they say, he will not leave until he goes away to be a ghost” Little Big Man’s ey.es glittered at this threat. . •Scissors called back: “Shunca-luta is very wakan, but Taku W akan has not whispered In his ear. Why does he stay outside the lodge? The white man will not hurt him.” Sorrel Horse at once appeared in the entrance. U ke the famous Sitting Bull, who is said to hijve foretold the Custer massacre, he wore a bunch of shed buffalo hair fastened to the side of his raven locks. This hair was wakan and was painted red and re called the times when the buffalo filled the plains. It was also a symbol of the coming of the White Buffalo Mald en. His medicine pouch was formed from badger paws and had bears' claws as pendants; for It watc from the bear that he had learned how to treat adults, while the badger told him. through the medium of dreams how. to cure children. He also carried the bent stick of one who has dreamed of a wolf. But It was his renown, as a magician, and not his success as a healer, that elevated him high among the wakan witshastia, and high above the grass-root medicine men. Scfssors Invited: “Sit down and let our medicines talk It over.” : But Sorrel Horse did not Intend to waste any dramatic effects before so small an audience; Outside the stags was set for convincing Crazy Horse that even High Wolf, the Cheyenne, was far below Shunca-luta In matters of magic. Ignoring the white m an he said to Little Big M an: “Bring the prisoners out In the sun light. That man’s medicine does not like the sunlight. It works best under the moon.” The prisoners were at once led forth and. seated before the medicine pole. 'D insdale was glad to observe that the strangled puppy had been re moved. Kawhlde was looped around their waists, and tied to the pole, but their bands were not secured. In a half-circle before them sat forty w ar riors. Scissors glanced . anxiously about for Crazy Horse, but the chief was not, present Sorrel Horse, sensing he was the principal figure In the scene until Crazy Horse should put In an appear ance, carefully spread a wolf skin and. after seating himself crosslegged be fore it made much of peering Into a mirror. He took pains to turn the m irror so the curious .warriors could observe the new moon and sun paint ed In white on its face; His vanity was' highly .pleased as he noted bow intently the spectators followed every move he made. . Little Big Man stared triumphantly at the prisoners and nodded to their guards. The signal had been prear ranged, as .the guards promptly searched Dinsdale and took ; nearly four thousand dollars from his pock-. ets. The money was mostly In green backs. The time was gone when the Indian was ignorant of money values, and while they still called money “white, metal,” they knew a piece <* paper money was often worth several silver dollars. Beady, eyes glittered as the bills and a bag of dust were placed on'a blanket before Little Blg Man. _ From Scissors oniy a small, amount of money was taken; and Lit tle Blg Man tickled the fancy of his followers by Ironically advising- “Two Knives Talking should make a feast for the white man’s metal goil.” * ■ When the pad of paper' and small scissors were held up Little BIg Maii hesitated, then shook his head. Paper and scissors were very much wakan ^nd he did not care to assume charge of th&n; ,. : 1 . .. The tinkling of a bell now stirred, the spectators ,to sharp attention and heads /were turned as their- mighty chief stepped froib a lodge back of the half-circle. Crazy Horse at. that time did not look over thirty years of age, and stood a few inches under six feet. He carried' himself: with great dignity and the stern expression' of his bold features was accented by a scar.i His ^people knew Mm to be as generous as he was courageous, and his practice' of never retaining any property, for himself, .aside, from his arm s and war., ponies,...was ^Sohnd to extend hls popularity among^au the hostlles and their allies. . ' - Ifi Sitting Bull by his, medicine ton- told the .destruction of Coster’s ’men, then it was Crazy-Horse-who assumed victory at the outset, when on encoun tering Reno’s .men he saved his fol lowers from a disastrous panic by braining a soldier with a stone war club and leading a counter charge. And what m ust plaoe Wm high In the estimation Of all fighting men was his Insistence that no warrior, should pass him when he gave the order to attack. He was a great general; intensely loyal to his people and their cause, a patriot who had no use for wealth. And Taku W akan could ask no more of any of his dusky children. As he walked around the end of the circle to take a position beside Little Big Man he was wearing his feather bonnet and other warpath regalia. In one hand he carried a W inchester rifle and in the other a twelve-foot coup wand of willowl The wand was dec orated with symbolic feathers, bits of fur, and the tinkling bell. He dropped on a robe beside Little Big Man and placed his rifle; across his lap and rest ed the end of his coup wand on1 the ground, and stared stolidly at-S cis sors. His gaze quickened as It shift ed to the pile of greenbacks and dust in front of Little BIg Man. The treas ure m eant nothing to him except as It represented, so many magazine guns and fixed ammunition. “The white man with the ’talking knives will tell why. he came , to the Teton country/’ he abruptly com manded. Scissors heeded no interpreter, and began to explain why he and his friend had gone to Mato Tlpl to make stone offerings-to Tunkan so the god would send forth his "flying rocks” to learn where Tash-unca-ultco was to be .found. \ “And while we were asking this of Tunkan. our prayer was answered,” Scissors continued. "He who lives on /W “And W hile We Were Asking This of Tifnkan Our Prayer W as Answered,” Scissors Continued. Mato - TIpl at times sent Little Blg Matt and his braves to lead \ us to Tashunca-uitco,. and It is well. I brought this white man with me, as his life was not safe among white, men. He was caught while trying to take a load of ammunition to the Cheyennes. He escaped from the soldiers and fled with me to find the Ogalala. He brought some of the white man’s money with him as a' present to Tash- unca-ultco." \ - ' “Tashunca-uitco needs no ’ presents of money from the white men,” harsh ly Informed Crazy Horse. "W hat he needs, he takes.” • . And he shook' his coup wand till the little bell tinkled madly. Loud grunts of approval met his declaration. Loud cries o f “washte-helo I”: were raised when he pointed! to the greenbacks and directed: , “Give it to the' men who have lost horses and lodges.’1 If there jvas one disgruntled war rior It was X lttle Big; Man. Sticking up from between his crossed legs were the butts of Dlnsdale’s guns. Crazy- Horse, who ever had a great love for Excellent firearms and who packed three Wlnchesifer rifles with him and one or more hand guns, torched the big revolvers and said, "I will take only these.” ' Little Big Man passed' them over and for several minutes the w ar chief ex amined them, knowingly aid his fea tures grew fuimated as he realized their; excellence. Suddenly he ceased his InspecHon and asked of S dssors: “ This is the^iwhite man who was caught by soldiers Tvhlle bringing am munition to the young braves a t Spot ted T ailagencyr* His expression -was almost genial as he put tae qaery, but Scissors shook his head and Dipeated:- • ^My white bi other was carrying am- bild> ^eyennes on the Bos“ v. A ot J-fsappolntment-aarkened.-dIief8 vtellSe. Had Sdssors w- pUed to the a^nnatlve several men twm the agency were ready to brand m m him as' a-liar, -for they knew the man Crazy Horse had referred .to. Crazy Horse stared a t the ground and ■twirled a revolver by the trigger guard. None ventured to break the silence, and at last'he said: “They say the white man Is a friend of High Wolf." "He was welcome In his lodge In Montana one winter ago. H e hunted with some of. tie young. Cheyenne men.” Crazy Horse fixed his gaze on Dins dale, but understanding nothing of the Teton dialect the prisoner’s face be trayed nothing. It was useless to ques tion him, as Scissors would answer for him. The chief seemed to lose all In terest In the alleged friend of High Wolf and abruptly asked: "W here is Frank?” "Frank Gruard ?” asked Scissors. The chief nodded. Gruard, a native of the Sandwich Islands, had been cap tured by Crazy Horse’s men while serving as m ailcarrier In Montana, Be cause of his dark complexion be was believed to be an Indian who had been taken prisoner by the whites while very young. H e had lived with the Indians for several years and was thought-highly of by both Crazy Horse andSsittlng -Bull. Scissors truthfully answered that Gruard was serving as guide and scout for. General Crook’s forces. Instead of showing any resentment Crazy Horse said: “He was a good man. I would like to see him and call him k o la again. Shunca-luta has his mystery glass and , Is seated by his wolf robe. W hat does his medicine tell him?” Sorrel Horse, who had been, cha grined at the lack of respectful atten tion, became busy immediately. He opened a roll of red cotton cloth and from a wad of eagle down gently picked up a small round stone and whispered to It and then held It to\ his ear for nearly a minute. Care fully replacing the sacred ,stone on the eagle down he boasted: . “Shunca-luta's medicine is very strong. It has teeth like the gray wolf. It will bite the medicine of Two Knives Talking into many pieces.” W ith the aborigine's love for the dram atic the. spectators leaned for ward, the copper faces revealing their rapt attention. No duel coujd'com pare with a duel, between rival medi cines. Crazy Horse, too, was intense ly interested, and Shunca-luta was at his best when demonstrating his wiz ardry before an appreciative audience. A fter glancing haughtily about he closed his eyes for a moment as if jsummoning spirit strength, then swift ly extended a hand high above his head and plucked a deck of playing cards from the air. A sibilant hiss of approval rewarded his sleight-of-band. Holding the cards face down for a moment he carelessly threw them on the ground within reach of Scissors. Then, apparently without looking at the white man, requested . “Let Two knives Talking pick out one if his' medicine Is not asleep.” Scissors selected a card and almost Immediately Shunca-Inta brought the tips of his index fingers and his thumbs together to form the shape of a dia mond and announced t “Squaw." Scissors held up the card so all might see it was the queen of dia monds. Several other cards were “read” In a like manner. Then the medicine m an scooped them up and made a motion of tossing them into the air, and they were gone, and his hand was empty. "For an Indian he’s clever -with cards,” Scissors said In English for Dinsdale’s benefit During the second his gaze w as off the medicine man the cards dropped before; him as If falling from the sky. A m urm ur of approval warned Scis sors be must be on his mettle, ’ He ■tore a sheet of paper from his pad and did something to it with his scissors. Folding the paper he requested Crazy Horse to hold It In his left hand. The chief hesitated-for a moment, then accepted the -paper and clinched It tightly to make sure it did not van ish. Sclssore then proceeded to pick, up the cards and to shuffle them with a dexterity that would have won the hearty admiration of San Juan Joe or P ijenchC uriy.. . - Next he extended h’is two hands, the deck in his left palm, and asked the medicine man to look at the-top card, to announce it and then cut the' deck, placing the cut in the right palm and burying Ifc with the-rem ainder of the Pack. • Sorrel Honse unwillingly com piled, his common sense warning him his rival would not embark on any thing that was destined to tie a fail ure, H e held up' the three of hearts and burled It In Scteisors': right palm with a ' shallow c u t . -,' ' Even as his . band was completing the ?ut Sdssors asked him to turn up the top card. It was. the threesdf hearts. Sorrei Horae was sullen of face and endeavored to balk the white man’s fklll by ,cutting the., deck- to ..the left hand before Sctssors couId speak. Then with a grin of triumph he turned 0P the top card, onlyV fo grunt In disgust on beholding again the card he had tried^to bury. . t Sverv. ask me .to play ooker m uttered Dtftsdale. Po*erM “They never saw any one the cut with one hand,” mnm| sors "And I’m wakan.” *,. he began shooting the cart Je H I forth until they seemeTt hand to hand of their ‘ flr 4Ia and finished by opening C fan.

Sorrel Horse now proceeded jH 1 his next trick. He drew a short hrift and stabbed it Into the gronnd several times to prove It was a genuine Uife Then throwing back his head and opci ing his mouth he began, apparently, forcing the knife down his throat This In Itself was sufficient to evoke a low chorus of applause, mixed with grunts of wonder.

Stl denly tossing the pipe aside and dal* Ing a hand to his naked ribs he plucked forth the knife, and his physical V pearance quickly became normal "Washte-helo I” exclaimed Crur Horse. Inflating his chest Sortel Hoim haughtily asked: “W hat does the white medldae BI to that?”- , “It says this,” answered Sassoa snatching up the knife.

The song of the mocking bird is occasionally heard in this section but hot as often as the sound of the pistol. W. J. Bryan said in New, York that Davis was wet and wouldn’t do for President. Can anyone tell us whv he changed his mind so sudden? •_____. Sometimes it is mighty hard, for an officer to do Iiis duty. ' Money, and influential friends will often keep a bad man out of jail o r. off the chain "gang. ' Mr. LaFollette’s' war record is . nothing to boast Ofz vThe^ American p.'ople are not going toyote for any man who is not a good one- hund red per cent American. There are too many empty houses in Mocksville The two best ways to fill these houses is to get nio e factories in the town and for the landlords to reduce the rents. If LaFollette gets ten thousand, votes in North Carolina this fall at ltast eight thousand of them will he Democratic votes. It may be that some-of the Davie Citizens will go for Bob. " John \Veslev Davis must be a mighty tired ram. AU you can read these days in the Democratic paper is that he is resting. If all signs fail not*, Mr. Davis will have time to take a long rest after the fourth of November. Oar CoanUr Commissioners. , G. H. Graham, of Farmington who has been serving- the oouhty as one of the ponunissiOHers for the past two years, was againjiominat- ed -tpr this important office, by- the R epublicans of Davie county at their ,.county convention held in July. Mr. Grahamwas one of the few Republicans that was elected in this county two years ago. \ He has spent most of his Iife 'n~ Davie and ha? made a good^ commissioner. ■ He is progressive and believes in doing everything possible for the upbuilding -oh the county and the prosperity.of the people Tliere is but little doubt but that he will be re-elected by a larger majoritythan he receieved two years, ago. The Repu’/licans in Davie county mean to make a cleau sweep this year and elect the full'ticket: from top to bottom. The voters are waking up to the fagt that* with a niixed ticket but little progress can be made.'

Fdrtlie benefit of hundreds of our readers' who have not had the privilege of reading it, we are printing today a synopsis of Pre sident Coolidge’s speech of accept ance. It will be well worth your .-tithe to read this speech. The Davie county farmers who are off on a 12 day tour through, Virginia and the District of Colum bia are no doubt having the\time of their lives." But we doubt t?ery much whether they will find a finer farming section than right here in Davie, , Dawes and Bryan have been made aware of the, fact that they are running for vice-president and so far as, we. know everything is now ready for the big race that will be concluded on the fourth (jay of November. Of course we are Abet ting on Coolidge and Dawes. ' The Davie county- Repuiilicahs have a strong ticket in the field th s year and if every Republican in the county will do their duty there is no doubt but that the ticket will be elected by at least 500 majority. Some of our good people went off after strange gods , two years ago but they have found Jo their sor row that all is nqt gold that glj.tters.

I ' IiW I i f l t n r Corn to Mature . in Short Season We Already Have Varieties Requiring High Tempera tures While Growing. “ *'#(Prepared by the United Statee Department ot Agriculture.), • , . The "synthetic” development of a variety of corn that will grow and ma ture under conditions of-short .season and cool weatfier will be attempted by- the corn investigators of the United States Department of Agriculture from a collection of 200 sample varieties of corn brought to thd department by Frederick D. Rich’ey ,. agronomist In charge of corn investigations, who has just returned from an exploration trip through the Andean highlands of South America-In company with B. A. Emerson of Cornell university. Varieties Mature In Short Season. “We already have varieties of corn In this country that will mature in short season,” said Mr. Blchey, "but they require high tem peratures during the growing season. They are suit able for ’ certain localities along the northern edge of the com belt, but there are other places In the Northwest, as In Idaho, ■ Montana and Wyoming, where the temperatures fire low as well as the seasons short, and we hope to be able to develop a yarl-, ety that will make com growing? In these sections a safe enterprise. This will have to be done, not by the mere introduction of foreign varieties, but by crossing and'combining the ability of our native com to, mature In a short season with the ability of the South- American corn to m ature at low tem peratures." Most of. the samples brought back by Mr. Richey were found growing at altitudes of from 7,000 to 11,000 feet, and some as high as-12,600 feet in the mountains of Bolivia and Pern. Corn matures In these altitudes In a cli mate which is 20 degrees colder than that of this country. Thus, Mr. Blchey found native varieties growing and ma turing In spite of an average tempera ture for the year of 50 degrees F., while the average minimum temperature dur ing the growing season was a§ low as 39 degrees. In our com belt an average minimum of 55 degrees night tempera ture is considered the lim it The average temperature during the entire growing season is 72 degrees. The season for the com crop In these ,south ern countries is from 120 to 180 days, while a few varieties In the northern edge of our own com belt m ature In 80 days. Experiments In Peru. ,On the trip through Peru Mr. Blchey had the opportunity .to observe va rieties of corn from our own country growing In comparison with native corn. These experiments were on the farms of the Urso mission near Calca, Peru, under the direction of T. E. Payne, who is In charge of the mis sion. AU of the United States vari eties there were of a yellowish-green color, - and did not look healthy, said Mr. Richey, while the native varieties i were dark green and healthy. Like wise varieties from Peru which have previously been tried In the United States have not done well here. It Is n o t possible, therefore, to introduce these South American sorts- as such and expect them to be adapted to the conditions of our com belt. The. prob lem Is rather one of crossing and breeding, In which the characteristics of the varieties Instead of varieties as a whole are considered. The develop ment of the desired varieties will be a long time-proposltlon, but the In vestigators are encouraged to believe In the ultimate success of the venture by the results obtained In other ex perimental work with com at the de partment. The development of a variety of com that will grow and mature at a low temperature In short seasons will enable many areas in the United States to grow com, where the crop will be of value not only for Itself but because of its use In rotation. . W i l l N o t D e s t r o y ■ E x t e r n a l P a r a s i t e s No Preparation Effective in Food or Drinking Water. (Prepared by th e United States Department of Agriculture.) So far as is known by any of the scientists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture who have been testing the claims of certain manufac turers of lice, mite and blue-bug prep arations, tjiere is no preparation niade that can be fed to poultry in the food or drinking w ater that' will kill exter nal pests or parasites. There are be ing advertised and continuously of: fered to the poultrymen numerous mis branded preparations for use in this, way by m anufacturers who are either entirely ignorant of the physiology of a chicken or grossly unscrupulous. These preparations .are sold for the most part directly to consumers by parcel post. Most tf the products so advertised are composed of various combinations of such chemicals as sulphur, char coal, calcium, sulphide, capsicum, so dium carbonate, naphthalene, sand, nux vomica, calcium polymephide, and other Ingredients. The insecticide and: fungicide board has recently, made tests of a num ber'of these mixtures and reports that In no single instance has one been found to give the effect claimed for IL The board further states that It Is of the opinion that It is unlikely that any substance will be found which will control or kill ex ternal parasites of chickens when fed In the feed or drinking water. Tests have not been made of all of the: substances advertised against all of the insects named,, but It is believed that sufficient evidence has been ob tained to prove the extreme unlikeli hood of the method of controlling ex ternal pests by Internal administra tion of an insecticide. Markete for Poultry Farm people are always a busy peo ple, but they are not usually so busy that they cannot spare the time to find good markets for their poultry; and poultry products. Tou can often realize a few cents per pound more for the cockerels by selling to some hotel, restaurant, or cafeteria than by disposing of them on the regular, market. Of course, if you live close to a city this will be a very simple matter, but you can often find places In even a small town where you can receive premiums for quality produce.

Milking has much' to do with secur ing a heavy and persistent flow of -milk. The dairy cow is an extremely sensitive piece of animal machinery. Any changes are quickly registered on the mllk-flow regulator and the yield Is cut down. In order hot to jar'th e cow’s sensibilities she must be milked In the same place -at regular times and by the same milker. f- Potato Growers Should Have Seed Plot Yearly Every commercial potato grower should get Into the habit of growing a seed plot every year. Now is the time to select the seed for this plot If the seed potatoes are to be taken out of the general field, only uniform tubers from good yielding hills should be se lected by hand before, the general dig ging starts. The seed plot tubers so selected should be put away In bar rels or crates and stored In a cool,' well ventilated place so that the po tatoes will be In the best possible condition next spring. Enough pota toes should be selected to grow a plot large enough to supply all of the nec essary seed potatoes for both the plot and the field the following year. Every grower who has had a seed plot properly taken care of will fol low this procedure and will then, dig the remainder of his plot to be used as seed stock for the general field. A yearly potato seed plot furnishes an easy and efficient method of ob taining good seed stock, keeping it free from such diseases as black leg, Fusarlum wilt and Rhizo'ctonia, and increasing the yield and quality of the general crop.—A. G. Tolaas, Chief In spector of the Minnesota potato seed certification board.- . Butterfat Test of Jersey_ According to a large number of analyses at the different experiment stations In the country the average butter-fat test of the Jersey is about 5.85 per cent. Of course, there Is’ a wide.variation in different individuals but to be representative of the. breed this cow ought to test at least !that much. Feed has .very little, ff any, In fluence on the butterfat content of the milk.

There Is a popular notion that silk stockings'are a recent vogue, and one sometimes hears them compared rath er deprecatlngly with the fashions of our grandmothers. ; But if critics would take the trou ble to dip into the social, history' of the past, they would ■ find that silk stockings, far. from being an,invention of tbe moderns, were really In popular use before even worsted stockings were thought o t . Until the reign of Henry VHI stock ings were made out of ordinary cloth, his majesty’s own hose being of yard- wide taffeta. Long before this, . however, silk stockings were largely worn on the continent, and In (Henry. VHI’s own time -they Were Indispensable to the attire of Spanish courtiers, and In deed of the general aristocracy of Spain. They had, of course, been beard of in England, and were greatly coveted. W hat is. spoken of by the famous chronicler. Stow, as “a very, great present” was In reality, a gift of Span ish silk stockings: from Sir Thomas Gresham to Edward VI, King Henry's son. Latterly, King Henry himself evinced a decided weakness fo r these nether garments of “shiny texture,” and he lost no opportunity of getting a pair across when circumstances were favorable. .. * Again in 1560 we find'the same .Sir Thomas Gresham writing thus from Antwerp to the celebrated Elizabeth an minister. Sir William. Cecil—"I have written into Spain for silk hose both for you and my lady, your wife; to whom it may please you I may be remembered.” The black silk stock ings, Gresham’s biographer tells us,- duly arrived, much to the gratifica tion of the recipients. Subsequent troubles with Spain made it impossible to get the dainty hosiery across, and. when Queen- Eliz abeth came to the throne silk.stock ings were not to be had. But the queen’s silkwoman, Mrs. Montague, was: not content -that hpr royal mis tress should go with unsatisfied wants, so she secretly knitted a pair of black silk hose and presented them . to her majesty as a New Tear’s gift. The queen, of course, was over joyed. Mrs. Montague was ' immedi ately sent for, courteously thanked, and commissioned to keep her m ajesty regularly supplied. "I like silk stock ings so well,” she said, “because they are pleasant, fine, and delicate, that henceforth I will wear no more .doth stockings.’’ And, according to the contemporary gossipers, she never did. It was thus that the fashion was set, and the m anufacture of silk stock ings In England started. B ut at first the price was prohibitive, and -It was long'before any but the highest In the land could afford to wear them. W hat they originally cost cannot , very well be ascertained. But the diary of Philip Henslowe tells us that whereas as little as £4 was pfild for a pair In later Elizabethan days, as much as £4 14s. was paid for a pair of silk hose for- one of the actors! Crawled "Into Telescope ■ The arrival of a new 21-lnch lens at Wesleyan university for the giant telescope in' the Van Vleck observa- tory recently presented the problem of how It was to be inserted In the long barrel of the telescope, the New Tork W orld'states. Prof; Frederick C. .Slo cum, head, of tlie astronomy depart ment, undertook to crawl 11 feet Into the telescope and adjust the lens. Members of the department awaited with bated breath the outcome of Pro fessor Slocum’s muffled efforts. On receiving his signal—the wiggling of his toes—he was pulled ouL lookiiig none the worse, for his experience. He took occasion to remind his confreres that being the thinnest man on the faculty had its advantages. He is o f Cape Cod Tankee stock. PROPER BALANCE OF RATIONS IN SUMMER Thousands of hens are practical ly forced, to stop laying because oi the fact- that many farm ers stop'feed ing mash and increase the. grain feed of tfreir flocks. • To get the most eggs froth the flock, it Is just as necessary that the hens have dry wetsh da the summer as it Is In the winter. Laying hens should be forced to eat more dry mash than they do' grain In summer. A good way tb do this is to give the hens a supply of mash and keep them penned up until ten o’clock In the morning, without any grain? If the hens cannot be confined they can still be forced to eat enough mash, If grain Is fed only a t night and the dry mash kept before them at all times in self-feeders or hoppers. One of the main reasons for keep ing up tlie feeding of mash during the summer is to Insure the best results when the flock Is culled Jn the fall. AU flocks should be culled ‘sometime between the middle of July and the first of September, but if the hens are not properly fed during the Rum mer they will all stop laying, thereby making it impossible to tell the good layers from the poor ones at culling time. A good dry mash can be m ade from 150 pounds of bran, 150 pounds of shorts, 100 ,- pounds of commeal and 100 pounds of tankage containing at least 60 per cent protein. Some grain should be fed along ’with this mash. Corn alone will do, but if oats or wheat are available it is best to add 30 pounds of one of these graiils to every 70 pounds of com, to give va riety In the ration. Oyster shells or ground limestone should be before the hens , at all times, as they need; this m aterial In making the egg shell. If as much milk as one gallon for every 30 hens is available, the dry mash can be omitted froni the feed of the hens and only the grafn and the milk fed. Doctoring of Chickens Not to Be Recommended The doctoring of poultry Is not to be recommended except in case of a few diseasqs such as- chicken pox, colds and ,cases of intestinal worms. There are two very good reasons for this belief: First, the unit of production of the individual bird Is so small on the Commercial plant that if a man’s time is Worth anything‘it is too valu able to spend treating sick chickens Individually unless they are show specimens of great individual value: ■Second, the cured chicken, is always a menace to the health of the flock, because its identity Ia likely to be overlooked or 'forgotten, and it goes Into the breeding pen and may per petuate through the offspring that con stitutional weakness that was one of tlie primary causes of its being ill. The opinion of practically all poultry men who rear large numbers of fowls is that in a lari® proportion of eases of disease the birds ought to be killed. The only treatm ent recom mended for the poultryman Is to give treatm ent when it can be applied to a flock conveniently and with reason able •j|^pectatlon of beneficial results. T reat 'Individuals only when the treatm ent Is simple, easy and needs to be administered but a very few times.—Storrs (Conn.) Egg Laying Contest. Big-Hearted Bachelor An old bachelor, who Is fond o t children, especially penniless ones who know the treat that a dish of ice cream on a warm evening brings, while stroll ing about a northern suburb recently made a score of youngsters happy when he rounded them up and took them in a body to a church lawn so cial.

Often the hatchet is the best remedy. However, If one takes certain meas ures, It m ay often Be stopped without resorting to the extreme penalty. • One should arrange, all nests so that they will be quite dark by plac ing under dropping boards or by hav ing entrance- from back of nest. Catch birds that show egg stains about head and file or clip front of. bill till quite blunt. ' ; Feed birds plenty of .oyster shell or time and include some.anlmal feed like milk, ment scrap, or tankage in the ration. A craving- for substances in meat often leads to- the habit. ‘ • The hens should be.kept busy and Interested by providing deep litter to scratch in.

Crazy Horse himself in spected tiie thongs to make sure they iverc right, and he directed' that cer tain knots in the cords of Sorrel Horse It iiinde more secure. If a medicine was worthy of a man’s tovotion it needed no assistance from mortals. Scissors read the dismay In Hinsdale's fnee and murmured: “The more rope the better.

Then the flap was shaken vi olently; and the spectators drew In their heels, ready to jump up and run If the battle was transferred to the open. Those outside were at the peak of their excitement and were having difli- culty In controlling themselves as they waited for the climax, when the voices suddenly censed. The agitation of the lodge covering ceased. Only a deep groaning was to be heard, ih ls groan ing kept up for a minute or two, and yet nothing decisive happened,' The spell was shattered by a voice behind the seated warriors calling out: “H is medicine has fniled, they say. They say It is- really very weak.” Hinsdale stifled back a cheer. The Indians jerked their heads about as one and were nonplused to behold the white man standing on the outer frlngo of .the massed group, This stupor gave way to a desire for action, and with a yell several of the men leaped to their feet and would have laid violent hands on Scissors had not Crazy Horse loudly commanded: "Do not touch the white man. He is not running away. Open the lodge.” Scissors advanced to -th e medicine pole and seated himself beside DIns dale. Little Blg Man pulled up the pegs and threw back the flap. Sorrel Horse was flat on his back In his original position, and thoroughly help less. It was most .amazing. Scissors took advantage of the moment to whis per: “Almost bent me. NIp and tuck. If Crazy Horse hadn't made them tighten up some ofi his knots he would have won. Once I was loose I fixed him up stronger than ever. That's what took me so long.” "So long! It was all over In no time. Why didn’t some one see you come out?” muttered DInsdale. W ith a chuckle Scissors explained: ‘T shook the flhp and got every one to watching it. Then I slipped out the back side and ran around behind the lodges.” Sorrel Horse was released. H is face was deadly with hate as he got on his feet. He would not divulge that .cer tain extra' and very stubborn knots found In his thongs had been tied by Scissors. He preferred to explain that the white man’s medicine had been allowed to appear the stronger because the red medicine was dis pleased at the Indian’s soft treatment of the white man. “Why should Tunkan help the red man against the white when the white man is taken by the hand and called Kola?” he sullenly asked. This defense was perfectly logical .in the minds of the majority -of the red men, and more than one hand closed on a skinning knife In a lust to make a fitting sacrifice to the stone, god. But Crazy Horse never lost sight of the main point He spoke up sharply, saying: “These men speak with a straight ■tongue, and their medicine will help us—or else they are liars and their medicine will grow very weak.

He will not run away and leave his friend; nor has his medicine the strength to take the rawhide oft his friend yet.” Dinsdale was much discouraged when th is' was repeated to ,him, but Scissors optimistically declared: “Even if old High Wolf Is among the. hills, .as Crazy Horse seems to ex pect, the ride is more than a hundred miles from here. They’ll go through flying unless something happens to them, but we haven’t been skinned yet. So long as vrfi can hope, we’re all right. I’m wakan. Tm wakan vitsha- sha. Don’t look downhearted. . Look jolly. That's better. You’re a friend of High Wolf, reineipber. He’ll vouch for you. You're just hungry for him to Bhow up.” DInsdale w as. taken back into the lodge and tied to the center pole. Scissors was left free but under sharp espionage. Either Crazy Horse had no fear of his trying to escape so long as his friend was a prisoner, or else he wished to tempt him to flight, and thereby prove all his words were so many lies. Scissors refrained from even moving about the camp, and from his position In the opening of the lodge kept his companion Informed of -all that was going on outside. Two ambitious young bucks were soon speeding north In seareh of High Wolf, who was believed to be some where In. the neighborhood of the Short Medicine Pole hllls..A fety hours after their departure word was given to strike the lodges and pack them on travois poles. DInsdale’a shelter was the last to be taken down. He was mounted on his own horse with his hands stlil fastened behind him. Scis sors was commanded to ride at the front of the band with Crazy Horse on one side and Llttl.e Blg Man on the other. Sorrel Horse loitered behind to have a private conference with his medicine. A monotonous ride of twenty-five miles, almost due north, brought Slave butte abreast on the right. After the first few miles Crazy Horse had evi denced a willingness to talk with his prisoner and was ready to answer questions. He took much pleasure In describing how .some Snake captives were killed at Slave, butte by the Dakota In the old days, thereby orig inating the name, and added that much had been learned since then as to the most painful method of putting prisoners to death. ' , Scissors appeared greatly pleased by the gruesome recital- and refused to betray any concern over the veiled threat as to hls own possible fate. Al though the top of the butte was about the same height as that of Mato Tlpl Its actual elevation above Its base was less than three hundred feet owing to the sharp upgrade from the Belle Fourehe. No shelters were put up and after a meal of jerked meat guards were posted and the men rolled-up fn their blankets. Scissors was not. tied, and DInsdale was secured only by bis legs. From the chief down to the youngest buck it was firmly believed that thongs of rawhide could not hold. Scissors, and as an extra precaution against bis attempting flight Sorrel Horse .offered to stand watch over him. Nor could there have been a more zealous guard, for wheneyer the picture man opened his eyes it was to find the baleful orbs of the medicine man star4 Ing at him. When they resumed their Journey In the morning the course still held northerly, and Crazy Horse informed Scissors they were to pass through Prospect- valley between the Short PIne hills, and men turn east and skirt the bad lands and make a hard ride of some forty miles before reach ing the Slim butte village. The chief seemed to be very confident that bis village was inaccessible for the sol diers. should, they ever come. CHAPTER X The WhHe Men Score. Because of a heavy rain the Sllm butte village was not reached until the d ose of the third day out from Pros pect valley. The clouds broke and the afternoon sun shone warm as the Oga lala and their prisoners came In sight of the village. As they rode up the slope to the village' the prisoners counted thirty- seven lodges besides four uncovered frames. One. lodge, much larger than : the othdrs, -hadila tall pole:-standing beside the entrance, to which w as at? tached a Ichg strlp .of flannel' heavily fringed with feathers." > - At less than a man’s height there was suspended a ’ large rattle which bore a ■ turtle design.. pinsdale, assumed this was; the lodge of Crazy Horse nbtil Scissors in formed him' the chief ,was-^extremely democratic and; that this -particular shelter belonged to'a mllitpry.soelety,.-' organized by.: Sitting Bull, and :kuowh as the Strong--Hearts. / /, , ' Tliey were under the direct mand. of American Horse, who,.wan absent on a scout ..to- ..the ..h ead set Heart river. American Hofse.lmd left word for Crazv Horse ‘that Sitting Bull would soon be on the Little. Mis souri, or the Heart, with 'five thou sand braves, and that the combined forces, would descend on the Black hills and wipe out all the settlements before the soldiers could arrive from1 the Big Horn country. Crazy Horse, although a stoic In concealing bis feel ings, was much pleased over tiie like lihood of an early joining of forces. He ordered that the prisoners be con ducted to a lodge and well guarded but not bound. The hard travel and the fare of. jerked meat had told more severely on DInsdale than on his companion, and the former was glad to throw himself on a pile of robes and suc cumb to the lnxury of complete re laxation. Scissors was more worried, because of the danger threatening the hill settlements than he cared to ad mit, and he remained at the opening of the lodge In a hope of learning something definite. No messenger had arrived from the Short Medicine Pole hills, and until one arrived he would not believe Sit ting Bull was within smoke-signal distance of the Little MlssoutiL DIns dale was too exhausted mentally and physically to anticipate the dangers of the morrow. Scissors’ heart beat rapidly every time he heard a pony’s hoof drumming toward the village. No guards were posted Inside the lodge, and for the first time since their capture both were free of bonds. They were so weary they slept through the ordinary bustle of early morning and did not awaken until disturbed by the penetrating sound of rattles. DInsdale rolled from his robes before fully awake and groped about for some weapon. Scissors quieted him and opened the flap and peered out. He motioned for DInsdale to join him, and whispered: “Some ceremony of the Strong Hearts. I can see their banner.” •DInsdale was nor assured, for the first part of the spect: 'e he ob served consisted of two men with bows and arrows. Behind them walke'd two braves, each vigorously shaking a gourd rattle. Ahead of the quartette.walked two girls; one car rying a pipe and the other a Strong H eart banner. The purpose of the bowmen was soon revealed, and Dins? dale lost his fear. One of the men suddenly raised his bow and sent an arrow through a dog. His companion shot another; and the rattles were shaken loudly to signalize their marks manship. A woman ran from a lodge and took both dogs inside. The little proces sion disappeared behind a lodge and presumably killed more dogs, as there came further spasmodic rattling. After some fifteen minutes the men and the two young girls came in sight of the prisoners’ lodge and walked toward It. The bows were unstrung, the rattles sounded only at regular Intervals. The four men chanted: ' “Friends, whoever runs away shall not be admitted.” “Strong Hearts, all right They’ve been shooting their breakfast Food enough without killing dogs, but they are trying to teach the village folks self control. They won’t shoot a dog, if the-owner comes out and makes a fuss,” explained Scissors, who was now cutting a piece of paper. “They reckon it makes a man’s heart strong to see his dog killed without making a row about i t There comes the wom an who owned the two pups we saw shot She showed her self-control by taking the dogs inside and singeing them. How she’s carrying them to the society’s lodge where they’ll-be cooked and eaten. In the old days there might be as many as four Strong' H eart lodges in one village; and. it took some dogs to keep them all going.” As the Strong Hearts proudly stalked by the prisoners’ lodge, Scis sors leaned through the opening and thrust his picture into the hand of a bowman, it was an excellent out line of a brave In the act of releasing an arrow, and the low grunt of the re cipient testified to his appreciation' of it. “Always could do it,” mused ScIsJ sors proudly. 'Tm wakan. Pictures don’t cost me anything: Cheers them up. Why not give them some?” , .“If it’ll cheer the devils any please give them a bushel,” was Dinsdale’s disconsolate rejoinder. “SclsSors, Tm losing my nerve; and I never lost it before. It Isn’t death; its the way they have with their d—d - skinning kpives.. P m -always rem em bering'that story about the fellow1 skiutied-:allve and KawWde- creek named -after the affair.” “You’re borrowing trouble,” rebuked S cissors."T he fellow you mention suffered enough without you suffering, any over It. Almost any morning the dogs-In this village see some of their canine- friends shot Do they worry, ,and brood over-what may happen to !them? Tavo are out there playing now.' ,Tfldjiy; -Is theirs and they live it- Wakantanka lets them see only fhie .present.;M an,sees a long line ,of to morrows. Unless he can train his 'souLto be, strong be pays for his man- knowledga.by being afraid for what may happen. Stir up ygur souL We’re , alive. ' ,We can hope; Only those who see' the tomorrows can hope. Up to this minute we have been a s4 safe ’-as If we were back In Deadwood Clfy.” “Oh, I’ll drag myself together so’s not to show anything,” muttered DIns dale! “But I wish something could happen. I . wish It was all over, one way- op the other. Pm not afraid of where I will land, but it’s the road there that I would like to skip.” .“It’s trying to guess what road we’re to take that’s ailing you. We’ll walk Sbout and you’ll feel better,” said Scissors. When they left the lodge several warriors walked behind them, keeping fifty feet from them. Other men, as If wandering aimlessly, walked abreast of them. During thelrrwalk the prisoners saw nothing of Crazy Horse or U ttle Big Man, but Sorrel Horset the medicine man, was occasionally glimpsed as he glided , behind the lodges and near enough to watch them. Scissors began cutting pictures of dogs ahd children, making them ex ceedingly whimsical, and beckoned for the sullen youngsters to approach and receive them as’ gifts. At first the children imitated the baleful hostility of the medicine man and lowered- at the smiling picture man with Juvenile ferocity. Gradually curiosity got the better of racial resentment, and one bold urchin counted coup by dashing In and snatching a picture. After that there was much scrambling for the pic tures, and as fast as one was secured it was taken to a lodge to display to the equally curious parents. Some one decided the grotesque outlines were medicine, at least good-luck tokens, and ope waa-pjpned on the-outside of a lodge. The ,word was quickly passed, and In a very short time a dozen or more lodges were thus decorated. With rapidly rising anger did Sorrel Horse observe this homage to the white medicine. Striding up to an of fending lodge he tore off the picture and scattered It on the ground and harshly rebuked the inmates for hav ing anything to do with a white medi cine. H ls voice carried far, and dusky arms .were thrust from the other lodges to remove the pictures. “He hasn’t any right to do that,” gravely decided Scissors. “I must teach him a lesson. Let’s get away from the lodges where I can think a b it” They returned to the slope and walked down to the river. Their guards followed, but kept a distance. They seated themselves on the bank of the stream. A slip of a girl stole down to the stream and filled an earthenware jug to overflowing. She had not discovered them and paused for a minute to dabble her feet In the water. The Jug was decorated with a, red snake,- showing the owner had dreamed of wolves and had learned irons them bow to locate game. .Shunca-Iuta carried the bent stick of a Wolf-dreamer. , At last the Jglrl decided she ba'd better be about finishing her errand and scrambled from the water and inserted the wooden stopper In the jug and smote it with her small fist to drive It home. The Jng being filled to the top of the snout, promptly broke under the hydraulic pressure, the cleavage being near the bottom and as evenly- cu t'as If done by a knife. The girl stared In horror at the broken jug and began tearing, her hair. Scis sors stepped forward and addressed her. In a broken whisper she ex plained : “It Is his, the mighty Shunca-luta. Each day he sends the medicine jug- by me. Now I have spoiled IL Now he will work - bad medicine against me.” Scissors’ eyes sparkled with inspira tion and be kneeled and examined the break critically. Then he readjust ed the two pieces and found they fitted snugly together. To the girl he said, “Stop your noise, little one Ferhaps my medicine can m ake the jug whole” He motioned for DInsdale to join him. “Bring water In your hat. and fill this up while I hold It from, slip ping apart,” he directed. Deeply puzzled, DInsdale brought water In - hls felt hat and poured It into the jug. Until disturbed the jug looked the same as ever. When the last hatful brought the water to the top of4 the ..snout -Scissors took the wooden stopper and gently Inserted one end and worked' slowly so suffl- d e n t water, might escape to allow the plug ,.to remain In place and exclude the ,air. . '. . “What nonsense Is this?” demanded DInsdale. “The jug Is-broken.” - . “I will talk a8 we walk back.” Tl^en to jtiie girl be.'said: “Lift It. gen tly by - the handlie. . D0 ' Q°t- let IL hit against your legs. W alk carefully 'behind us. ..When you see me talking with Sbunca-iuta place It gently on the. ground where the ground is very smooth and level.. Do you under stand?” - ", Sbe bobbed her bead,' her small .round face filled with terror.. •“And never tell any'one, or It will be bad medicine,.ahd you will never .lake-cafe of a warrior's lodge,” he Warned. ' 9The girl gingerly took bold of the handle and lifted the jug. So great was her amazement and fear on ba, noiuiug roe jug remain intact that she came near to dropping.IL Then holding it away from her and walking on tiptoe she began the ascent of the slope with the white ,men striding along before her. Scissors explained to his mystified friend: .“Years ago. and long before I be came wakan and had learned to for get useless things, I went to . school In SL Louis to an old Frenchman. H e was a very wise old man, and from him I learned among other things how hydraulic pressure will knock the bot tom out of a small-mouth vessel If the vessel is filled to the brim and the stopper Is inserted violently. I also learned that where the cleavage.Is clean the vessel can be fitted together and made to' hold water if fltled to the brim and the stopper inserted gradually and gently. The atmospheric pressure on the jug Is uniform. Bnt let the stopper be disturbed ever so little, let there come a space the width of a hair for the air to get In, and out comes the bottom of the jug. Now we will see what we shall see.” W ith the girl counting every step of the way In her anxiety to have her part In the mystery concluded. Scis sors proceeded to Shunea-luta’s lodge and called on him by name, speaking In a loud voice. The medicine man came out and glared at the picture man and waited for him to speak. The girl halted behind the medicine man and carefully placed the jug on a Deeply Puzzled, DInsdale Brought Wa ter In His Felt Hat and Poured It Into the Jug. smooth level spot, and fled as If de mons were after her. Heads popped from the surrounding lodges when Scissors began calling on the medicine man to face him. Now men and wom en were watching the two. “Shunca-luta, you have meddled with my medicine,” accused Scissors. “They say Tunkan Is angry at yon.” “They say a lie,” Mssed Sorrel Horse. “Bed men do not touch the white men’s medicine.” “Two Knives Talking is not a white man. He is red,” solemnly declared Scissors. A hell “tinkled and Chrazy Horse walked around a lodge, coup wand In hand, and surveyed the two gloomily. Scissors, pointing to the jug, said: “That Is made of stone. Tunkan can speak through IL It Is painted with the sign of a Wolf-dreamer. It belongs to Shunca-luta. Tunkan can ,speak through It to him.” Sorrei Horse answered: “The stone god tells me through the stone jug that Two Knives Talking makes bad medicine against the red men.” “Then let the jug give a sign that you have spoken true words,” chal lenged Scissors. , ' ' Sorrel Horae was now thoroughly puzzled. But the eager gaze of his, chief and warriors told him he m ust, do something. "Tunkau has already said through the jug that the white men are liars and will go under the skinning knives.” The listeners accepted this as con clusive and their fierce eyes exulted In anticipation of the sport. “Two Knives Talking has asked Tunkan for a sign to prove his tongue Is .straight. The Jug Is stone and very strong, and yet before Shunca-luta can drink from It Tunkon will break It,” Scissors assorted. The onlookers, incredulous, grunted and Jeered. Scissors folded his arms •and with level gaze dared Shunca-luta to make the test- The girl had brought It, filled with water, even while ho was talking with the white man. He took it, by the handle and lifted IL It was .a" very strong Jog. it was Impossible for anything to , break lt: before be could take a drink. And to prove that fact he yanked out the stopper and. started to lift it to' bis lips; . - ! The 'bottom- dropped- out apd’ the w ater splashed ’1 down the )Ptedlc!ne man’s legs. To tbew hIte men4Jt wflS a ludicrous tableau. - . The medldne man stood rigid, the stopper clutched In one band, the upper part, of the Jug held In the other, .his eyre bulg ing, But there was nothing humorous' In-the spectacle to,-the Indians. Bven Crazy Horse stepped ba'ck and stared uneasily at the. prisoners. W ith a low gasp of fright Shunca-luta dropped tbe fragment of the jug and dasied back into his lodge. • . Scissors evidently has Sorrel Horsy .scared. How can he turn his victory to account? ' tTO BE CONTINUED.)

TRADE FEATURES AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITIES TO HAVE MORE MDNfeV THIS I'’-V WINTER. New York.—Reduction of long sow ings In the security and commodity m arkets a firmer tone in the money m arket' and further indications of a m odest. improvement in trade and manufacturing were principal |patures of the business week. • The weaker tone In securities, particularly in the first'class issues, accompanied as iir 1Was by slightly harder money rates,' gave birth to the view in some quar ters that business demands had begun to attract a larger portions Qf capital'. This was looked upon as a bullish’ fac tor from the business standpoint. Con servative quarters, however, held that this view was somewhat premature. Although the m erchant of funds seek ing employment in the stock exchange call money m arket decreased appre ciably, the rate failed to rise above two per cent. Time fund3, however, firmed up 1-4 of one per cent, commer cial paper showed a firmer tone and bankers acceptances advanced from 1-8 to 1-4 per cent. The largest banks reported no ap- precable increase in the demand for credit. There was, nevertheless, a movement of funds westward, and the federal reservq system’s weekly state m ent revealed that tem porarily at least,1 it has ceased artificially to create credit for further purchases of government securities. The-: more reasonable explanation for harder money, therefore, was that western banks were withdrawing funds to as sist them in the movement of the crops, a regular seasona loccurrence. Through the cross-currents in the •business situation, one fact stands oht. That-is, that the agricultural commu nities will have a great deal more money ho spend this fal land winter than they ..,did last year, industries which sell their .product direct to the farm er already-are feeling the effects, which sooner or later, will be reflected elsewhere.

Heretofore it had been planned to run a 200-mile race, but-the drivers preferred the 250-mile grind, or 200 laps, inasmuch as the track will be one and one-quarter miles long. This decision puts Charlotte in' the same class with Los-Angeles, Kansas City and Altoona.

Village basement gave up the i»ody of j aged Aaron Graff, wealthy m anufac-1 turer of W ilkesbarre, furnished the Evanston, 111.—The national cam paign of 1924 was declared by Charles G. Dawes, -in accepting the republican vice presidential nomination, to be a contest between "progressive conser vatism” and "untried and dangerous radicalism.” The nominee, speaking to several thousands gathered on the lawn of his "hbrne here, asserted the former position to be that represented by President Coolidge, the latter to be exemplified by the LaFollette inde pendent candidacy and "interposed, the democratic party, with one con servative and one radical candidate on its ticket, hoping to get votes by avoiding the issue." Contending that “a formidable at tack has been lqiinched on the funda m ental principles of the constitution, Mr. Dawes characterized the LaFol- Iette movement as “the chief oppon ent”- of the republican national ticket, and said he considered adherence to the principles and fundamentals of the constitution the foremost issue In the November election. This issue. was stressed by the nominee in his address, but he also discussed two other questions.at equal lengtlf-^the league" of nations and the world court!' " . .. He announced his stand on the re publican platform, declaration against any entrance- intq, the league and as sailed the dem ocratic position as “an invitation to again " enter that fog of debate in a public • referendum.”: He commended the proposal of the present adm inistration for adherence to the perm anent court! of internation al justice, declaring “it is to our na tional interests and the interests of the world.” , - Mr. Dawes also broke his Iehce 'on acceptance by the allied and Ger many of the reparations plan bearing his name, declaring the credit belong ed to President GooJidge and Secre tary HughesT “W ith the experts’ plan inagurqted,” he asserted, “France, E ngland,' Ger many, Italy, Belgium, and all Europe turn toward a new and peacefuls life with hope and happiness, ratherNthan despair, in their breasts and prosper ity ahead. The United States will be saved from the depths of.an inevitable and great depressionjn "industry and agriculture, which the continued chohs and m isery of Europe would entlh In deed, the whole world enters upon a period of peace and prosperity./!"

Smith" and LieuL E rik Nelson have reached Greenland in their flight from Iceland, according to advices received here. The. Italian ,filer, Lieut. Locatelll, who sta rted . on the jum prw ith the Americans from Iceland, was not men tioned in the advices received. The advices came in a Tadio dis patch a t !9:45 O’clock (Eastern time). The two m achines landed alm ost sim ultaneously. _ The fliers and Lieutenant Locatelll, Italian .airm an, hopped off from Ice land at'8 :1 0 o’clock. W ashingtonf^-Although no official word had been received-at either the w ar . or navy departm eht concerning the progress of the American around- the-world aviators, press dispatches from Halifax conveying indirect/w ord of their arrival at Greenland were tak en as- confirmation of the belief held here from the first that the -fliers would m ake the' 825 mile Hbp suc cessfully. Difficulties in communication when the fliers were stationed in Iceland alm ost invariably m eant a delay of several hours in tranm ission of mes sages and it w as assum ed that sim ilar difficulties had.been encountered, ex plaining the absence of- official- ad vices. Interest in the flight, however, was at its height. Officers of both services were at their desks- awaiting, word, while the general public heseig- ed newspaper offices w ith a., constant stream of. inquiries. The possibility of the fliers m aking slow tim e in the, jump from Reykjavik! Iceland, to , FredericksdaJ, Greenland, was recognized, especially, in view of the heavy loads the pjanes were carry in g and the probability of 'their en countering adverse w eather conditions. The planes are understood'each to have taken 400 gallons of tuel on board at Reykjavik. P ast perform ances have indicated a consumption of 25 gallons an hour, which would insure 16 hours continuous flight y ith a maximum radius in that tim e 'o f about 1,000 miles. These figures, would hold, it w as declared,, only if every elem ent was a t maximum efficiency— with just the right wind to"furnish the greatest "life” and with pontoons un weighted by immersion in water. A flying tim e of 12 hours was the aim of the aviators in their flight.

Foreign Policy. - . WashiDgton, Aug. 14.—No ' slngll question vital to the people of thfl Unfted States was dodged by Presi dent Coolidge In the first greatspeecli of the political campaign—Ws speech accepting the nomination as Pre|ident' offered him by the Republican party, and delivered in Washington the eve ning of August 14. Z After outlining the sound foundation of the party system of government," the President said.: “Party means po litical co-operation, not as an end In itself, • but- a means, an instrument o t ! government. If founded upon a great i moral ■ principle and directed with ' scrupulous regard for Its integrity. It cannot fail to sweep onward and up ward, advancing always steadily and surely, a mighty constructive force, a glorious bearer of progress. "That is what the Republican party always Jias been and is today. In full faith that such it will continue to be, I deeply conscious of the high honor It confers and the responsibility It Im poses, I accept its nomination for President of the United States. “In the history of our country Is re corded the public services rendered by our party for more than the three-' score years. That is secure. I pass on to the recent past and tlie present.” Progress of Four Years. The President pointed out the con dition of the nation in March, 1921, when the Republicans resumed the reins of government after a lapse of eight years. Though more than two years hnd passed since the armistice, the nation was still technically In a state of war. No diplomatic relations existed with Turkey, Greece, Russia, Colombia or Mexico, the Far Eust situation caused _ “grave apprehen sions.” Because of the war, "a reck less extravagance had come to char acterize the administration ,of public affairs and was all too prevalent In private life.” The national, debt had risen to the staggering total of $24,- 000.000,000, more than $7,000,000,000 of it in short-time obligations without provision for payment.- Government bonds were below par. High war taxes burdened the people. Demobilization aud liquidation were incomplete. Huge railroad accounts remained unsettled, transportation was crippled. . Un liquidated foreign debts amounted to $11,000,000,000. Banks were filled with' frozen assets. Interest was high, capi tal scarce, and financial distress acute. About 5,000,000 were without Employ* ment. No adequate provisionJiad been made for relieving disabled veteran* •and their dependents. The great pow ers continued to burden their pebplea by building* competitive' armaments.^ An avalanche of war-worn people and” cheapened merchandise impended upon America from foreign lands, the President pointed out. . . Turning to .the settlement of these vast problems since- the start of the Republican regime, the President pointed out that treaties of world-wide Importance have "been ratified with Germany, Austria, Hungary, Colombia and Mexico, that 42 other treaties have met with the approval of the sen ate, while 6 still await action. Friend ly intercourse with Greece and Turkey has been resumed. Peace and Ameri can rights have been assured In the F ar East and the Pacific. ‘ . Turning to finance, the President called attention to the enactment of the budget system, and the resultant tremendous savings. ■. “For the fiscal year ending June ,30, 1921,” -President Coolldge said, "our expenditures- were $5,538,000,000 and our surplus was $86,000,0(X). For the year just closed our expenditures were ■ $3,497,000,000, and our surplus exceed- ' • ed $500,000,000.” This was a- reduction in the annual cost "of government of $2,041,000,000. The public debt j»6w stands a t ,abotiC $21,250,000,000, which i Is a reduction In three years .of abon^ j $2,750,000‘,000 and means ah- -annual - | saving In interest of more than $120,- 000,000. The $7,000,000,000 of Tshort- ftime. obligations have all been quietly • refunded ’or. paid. The internal revff ,Hue taxes -Ifave been reduced twice, j and many of them, repealed,- so that ; during, the present fiscal year the' tax !receipts; show a saving to the people IM approximately $6,000,000 a day com p ared with 1921. One government j bond ha* sold^weli over 105.” The !President pointed out that more than 40 per ctent of the debt due na !from foreign flattens has beefijiquidat- ■ed, providing ; funds- for- liquidating ' about: $13,000,000,000 Ot tliejiatiO nal ■ debt during a 62-year: term i- .' “The finances of this nation have 'been-m anaged with a genius, rind a i i success unmatched since the days ot !Hamilton,” Mr. O • ilidge declares. ■ “A g reat1 revival of Indtistrjr took - place, w hicb. i s , spreading to agrlcul ture. Complaint of unemployment has •ceased, wages have Increased.. \Savr Itnl has become plentiful at a low rate of In te re st,M r. CoolIdge declared, the banks of -our country, 'as a . whole, show a high percentage at 1 ’ gp^fcinj of the generous, 4aws passed to relieve disabled veterans, 'th e President said ^bat more, than 71,- 000 Eave been rehabilitated, 38,000 o i whom are earning more than tliey did before the war. " Compensation Is be ing 'paid at- the rate of abont $180,- 000,000 a year, soon tO *be increased by $30,000 ,00 ^ -more, $40,000,OOtT have been provided'.for,;hospital facilities, ■ whfch are open to'- veterans of all Am erlcauwars.. - : i ':v “No government,” the President de clared, "ever provided so generously for those disabled by service In .tinfe of war.” [ Touchingj;be exclusion la\y and re stricted immigration generally, the President said: “Restricted Immigra-.. tlon is not "an, offensive but a purely defensive action. It Is not adopted in criticism, of others .In- tiie slightest •degree, but solely for the purpose of protecting ourselves. Wp cast no as persions on any race .or cree'd, but we must remember that every/object of W - Institutions of socjety^ and gov ernment will fail 'unless .America be kept American.” •_ f Next the- President dealt with the tariff. "By: means of. a . protective tariff” he said, "We-have saved Amer ican agriculture,' labor; and Industry from the menaceIof having their great home matfeet destroyed through the tdumping upon It1 of a ftood of foreign products.' Under this wise policy we : daw an economic revival, arid our peo ple as a wliole, In marked distinction- from the sufferers from -the .financial, 'distress , and depression, of "other lands, have conje into ai^era of pros: perity and plenty. As a.source of rev enue the tariff surpassed all expecta- 'tions In producing an annual return 'of the unprecedented sum of about $550,000,000. A. fiscal ,policy which places a large and much needed rev enue. In the public treasury, while stimulating business to a condition of abounding - prosperity, defends itself against any criticism. ‘ Its merits are demonstrated by its results. We have protected our own inhabitants from the economic disaster of an invasion of loo many foreign people or too much foreign merchandise.” ■ — . The Washington Conference. -j N ext'the acceptance speech dealt with the Washington conference whereby an end was put to the ruin ous competitive naval armaments of world powers,- the importance of which has Sever been fully realized by the people In general, Mr. Coolidge declared. - /• .. ■ ! Turning to the “honest: government” issue. President: Coolidge pointed out biiintly that In air his studies of politi cal history he-could not recall an ad- minisration which was desirous of a dishonest government, that, to check extravagance, Introduced a budget sySr. tem.-cut taxes, purged pay rolls, made enormous.reductions’ In the public.debt and laid firmer" foundations for the peace of the world. !President Coolidge declared he fa vored the system- of private American enterprise and was opposed, to the ex tension of government ownership and control; that he believed In economy in public expenditures and the practi cal, application of the tehory; that he believed in tax reduction and tax re form ; that he favored protection. "Favors Permanent Courti “I favor the permanent court and further limitation of armaments,” the President said. “I ain opposed to' ag gressive war. I shall avoid involving ourselves in the political controversies of Europe, but .I shall do what I can to encourage.,American, citizens and re^ sources to assist In restoring Europe, with the sympathetic support of- our g o v ern m en t'I want agriculture and Industry on a sound basis of prosperity and equality. I shall continue IoiStrive • for the economic, moral, and spiritual welfare-of.my country. American citl-’ zens will decide In the^eoriiing electipn whether these' principles shall have -their approval and support. . - ' “The domestic affairs of. our country appear to me . to be by far the chief concern. From this source comes our strength. The home market consumes nearly all our production.. Within our own' boundaries will be determined toi. a very large, degree the economic-wel fare and the moral worth of the Amerl-. can people. These are-plain facts, but there are .others: equally plain.” . Reaffirming- his opposition to en trance into the League of. Nations as a surrender of Independence,- the Presi- dena favored becoming a- member of the permanent Court of Internafiotfal Justice, ''as.peace means _fundameatal- Iy a reign of law.” Entrance into the: so-called World court-“would do.ftroch to Indicate .our determination to re strain the rule of -force arid Jsolidlfy •-and' sustain tbe-rule of reason'among', nations,” Mr. Coolldge said.-- - : .-,V- America HeIjM-Europe. , 1 The President reviewed the difflcuh; ties of Europe and the unavailing, ef- aer-ranaings wstn nrose Mnotra. n e Th* rsW ng of tlie revenoe reqalred t# recited the.help’ given Mexico to avert conduct oiir governm«nt is Intimately domestic vlol.ence there, and the lpdi- i connect^ with our ’econonilc- welfare, cation of a policy of making It worth while for . a government to conduct^it- ^ burden will be most easily; borne. • - But self so as to -merit-;recognltlon. . He pointed'to the written agreem ent-^lth Mexico to negotiate a treaty .of ariiity arid commerce such as has not been. In existence since 1881. - -■ Equal Opportunities 'for All.- - - Of discrimination o f’ail kinds, Pres!- ’ dent Coolldge said: .“This Is onftjcoiin- try; we.are one people iinlted-by com mon interests.. There should be no fa vorites and no outcasts ; -no race or re ligious prejudices in the government. America opposes special privilege for anybody, and favors equal opportunity for everybody. It has adopted these conclusions because they are the IogI-. cal conclusions of our ideals- of free dom. : Moreover, we believe -they con tribute to our material welfare. We oppose the artificial supports of privi lege an d ' monopoly because they are both unjust arid uneconomic. They are. not.right. Tliey .do not: work.” The Farm Situation. . Reviewing the situation of the farm er,, the. President said that one of. the first, thoughts in 1921 was for the re lief- and revival of agriculture as; a fundamental Industry, and touched jipon the credits of between lliree and four hundred million dollars ’ extended through the W ar Finance; corporation, arr-additional $50,000,OQO provided; for thCT-eiief of- the cattle industry, ..and - tljei formation of 'a $10,000,OOQ. corpora tion In the spring which, it was esti mated, can furnish $100 ,000,000 for. di versification and relief in~ the North west. He told of the activities of tie Intermediate credit banks, directly and indirectly assisting 500,000 farmers.- Tlie President commented on- the present upturn of prices for -agricul tural products. “The government rendered a great deal, of assistance,” he said, “and private enterprise co-operated, but the -fundamental remedy was provided, as it always must be provided, not so much through the enactment of legis lative laws, as through the working out of- economic laws. Because the farm ers have thoroughly realized this, they have bn the whole opposed price fixing by legislation. ■-Wjjile- maintain ing that sound position, they, have seen a partial relief come in -a natural way( as it was bound to come: ‘‘We now need in agriculture more organization, co-operation, and . ! di versification. The farm er should. Have the benefit of legislation Pi-Ovidirig for flood"Control arid development of In land waterways, better.navigation east and south.. from the Great Lakes,- reclamation, and especially relief for those who cannot meet their pay ments on Irrigation projects. !But jjte main problem is .marketing: Co-opera tive -effort, reorganization of -the freight-rate- structure, good business, and good wages In manufacturing, and the settlement ,of European affairs .will all help to provide better m arket con ations. - - “The Republican platfonn recognizes that agriculture should be on a basil of economic equality with .other indus tries. This is easy .to say, .but the farmers themselves and their advisers liave never .been .able to agree on a plan ttj provide.it by law. Now that nature and economic law haveVglv.en some-..temporary relief,- I propose, therefore,' to appoint a .committee to Investigate and - report measures ,to the congress in December that .may help'secure this, result w hich'w e all desire. I. want profitable^ agriculture established- permanently, I want to see the dollar of the farm er always purchase as .much as anp-other' dollar. “Under .the policy of. protection, and restrictive' immigration,” he asserted, “no deflation ..of xvages has occurred. While the cost ,of. living "has " gone down, wages Iiave advanced. 'The 12- hour day and the seven-tf&y week have practically been abolished. -The unlnter -upted oplration ol public util ities with mutually: satisfactory and legally established methods of adjust ing labor questions have-been sought.
