The; rise òf ^Methodism is des cribed by Mr. John Wesley as fol-; lows: i‘In 1729, two young men reading the Bible, saw they could not be saved without holines-s, fol lowed after it, and incited others so tò do. In'1787; they saw holi ness comes by faith. They saw likewise tlíiát men áre justified’ before they are sanctified ; but still holiness was thbir point.. God then thrust them out,- utterly against their will, to raise a holy people. ■ “ Ih the latter end of the year •^739, eight or ten persons, came to me in London, who appeared to be deeply convinced of sin, and earnestly groaning for rede'mp- tion. They desired (as did two or three more the next day) that I would ,spend some time with' tho'm in prayer," and advise them- how to be free from the wrath to come, which they saw continuali; hanging, oyer thelir" heads. ‘‘That we might have more time for this gréât: vvork; I appointed a day when they mi¿ht all còme together, which; from thencefbrf ward, they did every week; name-;, ly, on Thursday in thé gening. To these, and as many mòre as desired to join them' (for their nu;pibef ; increased daily), T those advices /from- time to t>n»e which, i.' j'ud^ .most" needful t to their seyérâl^né "This was thé rise of the United Society, first in London and then in other places. , Stich a society is ho other than a company ,01 men having the forni and seeking the power of godliness, united in order to pray, together, to receive the word of exhortation, -and to watçTi over one another in love •, that they may help each other to' work ;out their own salvation.” ' Growth and Organization in ■ America John and Charles Wesley came to America In 1736 and remained nearly two yeirs, but this was before the Methodist movement had taken definite Shape even in their own minds, and their labors here were wlthbut practical re- Blllt.

TheBe aàd othérs traveled con stahtly aind labored so abundant ly that in 17841' although the Work had been aeripusly, interrupted' by the Revoiutiônàry War, the num ber ; of traveling preachers , in America was about eighty, and of ittenibera àbòiit fifteen thousand. Up to this time no Methodist Church had been, organized. Me thodist societies in America, as in England; were mostly mem bf theChui^ch of England. > Blit as thlB church ceased to exist In America it became necessariy to organize: this Methodists into a church, for they were as sheep, haying nò shepherd, m ! ; Mr; Wesley, although refusing tp; the 'laSt to Consent to a separa^ ration from the;„Church of Eng-^ land, saw the necessity ih America and gave his conseiit in the fol lowing words: “ As our American brethern are nòw totally disen tangled .both from the ^tate and th\î English . hierarchy, we ,dare not’ entangle them again eithér ^^ith the oiie. or the other; They are now/àt-full liberty simply'to foiiòyr thé Scriptures and the .pri mitive.

If^ye we any right toVete^l his flowers, break and mutilatie'his trees ami shrubbery or shobt his birds ■% . Suppose Mr. FarmW„ should , get out his Ford, load in all tho kids and the wife nnd the neighbbrs’ wives and somo of the neigh- boijs’ kids, and then suppose he should drive that Ford up in front of some of our beautiful city homes where we have well kept lawns and flowers ami .shrubs. And thjn suppose, he should park his Ford in our front lawn and the kids should commence to run here and there, breaking up our flowering bushes and young trees and; filling that Ford full of thp flowers and parts broken away. Then siippose he shpuld get out .his lunch boxes, spread out his dinner on our front lawn, eat and leave'a big mess of paper, boxes, glass jars, tin cans melon rinds and other junk therei, .to mar the beauty of our place. How long do you thiijk he would stay out of tjie hands of the local police? We’d tell Mr.'Rural Dwellw that, that was private property, that we owned it and that we' have to, pay taxea on it and that we pay those taxes for protection against linlawful trespassers, etc. And yet that is not a bit worse than we treat country property owners and his rights. Folks, we ought to be ashaffled of ourseivea., But you may think the country landscape—the great outi^ofrdbore —is something on which no one has a monopoly. That’s true. The fields and water courses and woods and - birds and flowers anywhere aje pursr—ours to see and love and admire—but' lioti ours to :ti‘aiiipb and. mutllate and waste. Our beautiful city homes, , with their well kept front lawns and gardeins and bowers are the farmer’s—his to look at, to admire, to enjoy-r-but not.'his to tramplevand deetroy and carry away. It’s all the santie, brother. We have ho more right to mutilate and trample and carry aWny the young trees and blrds-and wild bowers growing property, than he has ti> do the same with ours In the c^ty. ■ We have no more right to park ourselves on his property in the country nnij .maks a big mess and go aWay and leave it ther^ than the farmer hias to come onto our front lawns and mako n big moss picnicl^ng and then go off and lenve it there. It’s all the same, Just a matter .representing the other fellow’s rights. Up in Pennsylvania the legislature has passed a law making it -.V X mu I ■ ,il fine of ?300.00 or impi‘isonmnt of not more than three years; toof lonr established .routes^ Thpre ^ gre^lyjjepediting the^ m steal a farmer’s vegetables, or apples, break and mutilate, his trees we^e'258 extension in the Stfte , of manufactured products and during the last fiscal year, while merchandise from the South. only a single route was discon- .tintied.«' i , ; In yirginio this year there were John Sevier transfer has capa city for handling 120 cars per day and is now loading nn ave- and shrubs, shoot his birds, or otherwisci trespijss upon his rights* as a pHvate property owner. In other words the Pennsylvania law forbids the stealing and carrying away of anything living or grow ing on tho land of another. And that’s 'just the kind of a law w« Statsfiville,' Dec. 7.—Otto Wood; wlio eacuped^irom'ihet state pri^son aii/Raloigli jiboui two \Veek8 ago is Bpentlihg tonight in Iredell, county jàü.

McLean. They do npt allow on^ to get -the impression that they are for Mox Gardner for governor in 1928. President R. W, H. Stone,, •of Guilford, has talked conside- Toble progressive speech-^ainst <>ardner. Legend has it that When ■Gardner delivered on the protect- «d ballot, ^osiah William Bailey, of Raleigh, uttered an unctious amen'. Not so with Mr. Stone. The Guilford man did not like the >Gardner associations in business. The union has a rather ancient ranti-Gardner elant. The Shelby Tnan did not answer the Farmer- ЪаЬог questionnaire in 1920. Opi- Tiions differ as to the result of that refusal. It helped and it ■hurt. But the farmers' Union never was regarded strong enough -to do any candidate political dam age. Old-line Democrats . who •come to Raleigh say that the mem- “bership of the union is largely ■Republican and that union’s afc- -titude on anything does not count.'' 3ts tendency is regarded pollticol. But President Stone is general- 'eiiilar; tíe was hiade a dlrec' torjof the North ¡Carolina Rallrparf by Gpyerpr , Morrison, but in the 1924 campaign Mrl Stone support ed J. W. Bailey. Mr. Stone is re garded a Democrat. His prede cessor Dr. H. Q. A’exdnder turned out last year to be a La Folleter. But Mr; Stone wiil not bolt. He goes into the Democratic contests and stand by the nominee. ^ The unionists held excutive sessions yesterday. They dis cussed the schools and resolved to make inquiry into the cost of maintaining them. It is under stood unofficially that in time the union will frame another ques tionnaire and Mr. Gardner will have another chance to put him self on record. The farmers mean to ask him' something about his business and jlolitical allianc es, so they say.' The unionists heretofore have had the writing help of Mr. Bailey who was with them, on land taxa tion. They still oppose the high taxes on real estate. But they are interested in schools. And when they get that question settled tax es may. come down. At least that’s the way^ they feel about it.

" ' After years of desultory dis cussion of this point, Willioni Stockton, à layman; of Philade phia, Pa., began in 1821 the publi catibft of à periodical called the '‘Wesleypn Repository,” .which was ihtênded to provide a mediiim' for the more formal exam^ation of what began to be'called "thè mu tual .rights'of .the , ministry and. laity," and also to spread abroad | thé views of leading ministers and laymen on this Subject.. This publication was supersed ed in 1824 by .“The Mutual Rights.6f. Ministers and Members of the Methodist Episcopal Church," ¡published at Baltimore, Maryland, with the same general object in view. A large number of pamph lets/ also privately printed, cdn- tributed to the stream of discus sion which continued to spread over the Church. Petition When the General Cinference of the Methodist Episcopal. Church met in 1824, a large number of petitions were presented, pray ing a representation of ministers and laymen in the law-making de partment, but no change was pro mised, and the only answer vouch safed was: 'Tf by ‘rights and priv ileges’ it is intended to signify something, foreign from the insti tutions of thè Church as we re- ceived them from our fathers, pardon us If' we know ,nb such rights; if vve do not comprehend such privileges.” ;;,^Immediately‘ kftef the plose of the Generar Conference; a meeting was held, composed of distinguish ed members of the Conférence, .and others from different parts 'of the country, to consider wheth er it wore advisable to continue «••V ......... pays taxes. ,We should therefo»'e. _ hot try to steal bur. holly and cedar and mistletoQ but contrary we should go to the own er : of tho land on which these things are groiwing and buy, cjr at least ofllar to pay for the decora tions which we may want.

MOCKSVILLE CHARGE elded to rocommend to reforfnors evorywhere to organize themselv es into societies “in order to as certain thp number of persons in the Methodist Episcopal Church friendly to a change in her gov ernment.” These. were called Union Societies, and their whole object was so to unite tЦ Reform ers as to present to the next Gen- eraj Conference a petition which would obviate the objection made against the appeals to the Con ference of 1824: that they were 80 various and conflicting In their aims, it was impossible to discover what they wanted; or who wanted thpm. In November, 1827, a General Convention wns held in Baltimore, composed of one hundred delegat es representing Reformers in sev en States, by whom a Memorial was prepared to be presented,to the ensuing General Conferenco, praying for the admission of lay-, mon into the legislative councils of the Church. The General Conference, aft(:r deliberating three whole weeks in committee upon tho Memorial, not ,ouly denied the necessity or jus- tlco of the change proposed, but I extended the claim for the exclu sive right of ministers to legislate for the Church beyond what had• » « ttmi _Sunday was u good day for us ¡over been attempted before: “The at Elbaviile and Dulin’s, There L.,.oat Hoad of the Church Him- were good congregations at eachjaelf has imposed on us the duty service.

Of these also, name ly, of Gospel doctrines, ordinanc es, and moral discipline, we do believe that the divinely institut ed ministry aro the divinely au thorized expounders; and that the duty of maintaining them in their purity, and of not peimitting our ministrations in these respects to be authoritatively controlled by others, does rest upon us with the force of a moral obligation." Expulsion The resources of peaceable re form would thus seem to have been exhausted! But it is prob- jable that the protestants would have continued discussion and per and "insisted on bem.j informed what law of the Church or oi the Bible they had violated, they were referred to . a clause of the “General Rules” of John and Charles Wesley, which forbids “speaking evil of Magistrates or of Ministers” and to a regulation, of the General Conferenco fnr- ; bidding “inveighing against eith er our Doctrines or Disciplino,'’ which the General .Conl'erence it- iself declared admitted of.no other construction than “the sense of un-Christian; railing . and viol ence.”One Annual Conference went a step further, and replied through its presiding bishop to the demand of an accused minister to know what law of the Discipline he bad 'violated, that “An Annual Con ference has authority to make rules and regulations for its own members.’! " , These facts would seem to show that the majority were not care- ful to find the violated law. They had an occasion and they had the power. Their determination was voiced by one of their leaders as follows: “You publish thc ‘Mu tual Rights’ and .say you will not withdraw from the Methodist Episcopal Church. Now wo are reduced to on e of two alternatives, either to let you remain members of the Church and go on paceably publishing the ‘Mutual Rights’ by which you agitate the Church, or expel you. We have come to the determination to take tho latter alternative, and expel you." It seems diiHcult to believe, but it is the literal fact of history, that this ruthless determination was rigorously executed. In North Càrolijna,; Tennessee, : Virginia, Maryland, ; JPenrisylvahla, / Ohio, and thè District of Columbia, able and efficient ministers, prominent and devflted laymen, men who liv ed blameless and pious lives and against whom no charge of heresy or immoral conduct could be brought, were excommunicated 1 becauso they ■ read and recom mended to their friends a religious newspaper in whose columns it was argued, that laymen ought to be admitted into the councils of the Church. The immediate effect of these expulsions was to. convince Re formers that thcre was no hope of obtaining any change in the gov ernment, and they began to with draw in considerable numbers-,in ■various parts of the country, both as a marie of their sympathy with their persecuted brethern, and as their final protest against a pow er that struck but would not hear. . Organization As for the expelled and their friends, nothing remained but to form a new Church. They were Methodists, and the only Metho dist Church in existence had cast them out. They had no controv ersy with Methodism, for its doc trines and spirit and experience were their joy and their crown. But because they dad not believe it was necessary for the lovely and free spirit of Methodism to be cast in the mold of absolutism, and be cause they could not conjont to the suppression of free speech in behalf of free suffrage, they sor rowfully took up the task of orr ganizing a new Church, which should hold fast to all the distinc tive features of Methodism, and at the same time ally it to all the great heritage which Protestan-' tism had bequeathed to the world ; which two ideas they sought to express in its, name. Reformers throughout the coun- itry were invited to send delegates to a convention to meet in Balti more, November 12th, 1828..This convention effected a provisional organization under the title of “The Associated Methodist Chur ches,” adiàpted Articles of Asso ciation covering the main featur es of a church vtb servo until a Constitution could be matured, and called another' convention to meet in 1830. ,Meanwhile local churches were gathered, and annual coìiference» (organized; and when the.Genei'^i Conference met in St. John s Church, 'Baltimore,: Maryland, November 2nd, ;t8SQ, fourteen An ex-tra sh ears ALWAYS WELCOME 5 0 c tó $ 1 .7 5 A POPULAR GIFT CHEST 26 PCS $ 1 2 .5 0 MANY ODD PIECES PUT WAFFLE IRONS ON YOUR LIST GIVE MOTHER A SET $ 1 0 .0 0 A MOST SUITABLE GIFT THE DOMESTIC $ 4 .2 5 FOR HER ’i’ABLB MOÖT ATTRACTIVE PATTERNS SILVER MOUNTED $ 3 .5 0 to $ 7 .0 0 FOR THB LITTLE KIDS : ATTRACTIVE TABLE AND READING LAMPS $ 2 .5 0 to $ 6 .0 0 CERTAIN TO PLEASE 8 5 c to $ 6 .0 0 A MOST PRESENTABLE GIFT $ 4 .0 0 Ki;s GLASS OVEN WARE NO FAMILY HAS ENOUGH 2 0 c to $ 1 .7 5 FOR THE.LARGE KIDS EVERY BODY NEEDS ONE COMPLETE ASSORTMENT OF HIGH GRADE POCKET KNIVES.

Maxwell, “Austin, .Texas. “My Dear Sir: “Replying to your favor of Sep tember 4, regard to the record of PrWato Alfred R. Simpson of your county and formerly of Company B.i 821st Machine Gun Battalion, Eiierhtyrsecbnd Division, which I commanded during the Meuse-Ar- gpnne oifenuive, I will state that the honors bestowed upon him by the citizens oi Texas were well merited and highly deserved. To recount the true story of the splendid, achievements of Private Simpson it will be necessary to do so in a narrative form and to give the early impressions of his oiR- cers, , • ■ , “When Private .Simpson joined our division at Camp Gordon, pi;e- yénge.~,:ftë^killéd the sniper and held the post. His platoon leader reported that Simpson was con tinually requesting permission to go out with the snipers and that he had a hard time restraining him. “On the morning of October 11, the 321sfc machine gun battalion wns stationed immediately in front of Sommerance, the farthest advance unit of the Eighty-second División and. in immediate touch with the outpost of the Kriemhiide line, which was the last organized line of defense in that sector. Or ders were received at 4 si. m. to join the 327th Infantry regiment in the attack which would start at 5 a. m. Promptly on the min ute the attack went forward ac cording to schedule, and Without any artillery.. preparation. The Germans were using direct artil lery fire from thé heights of Bois lé Loges;, hundreds of machine gunnests and the Prussian Guard tried to stop the advance. By 9 o’ clock the advance had pushed a- hoad about three : kilometers and gained the heights above the St. Juvin-6t. Gorges road, piercing the outpost line of the Kriemhiide. Thé infantry lost heavily—every captain either killed or wounded-r-a second- lieutenant "buddies” ip proferance tb haWn¿ them ceremoniously pinned on by the Kovernor of the state. Simpson’s pai'ents died whbn he was a small child and he was reaVed by an uncle and aunt over in the hills west of Austin sonle live miles. On of the first thini, that he did when he returned fl'om the war was to buy a homo in South .Austin for his old uncle and aunt who had been sp kind to him when he .could not help himself. Simpson was married on Janu- iary 17,1920, to Miss Honora kior- l.dari, a graduate of St. Mary’s c ^ ademy, Austin. ’ But thi) great war hero with his fivo medals is now passing his days in à -lonely hospital ward, where he Js fighting for ,his life against the ravagea of war which have be-3rt gnawing away at his vitals ever'since he went through that hell Pn many occasions ."over Ithere.” He is a gbod fighter and with a smile for every one who visits him is determined to win while the great government that he fought to save is now giving him and; his wife and ciliid the necessary aid to enable'him tc overcome his injuries, A hero like Simpson never surrenders.

His . He knew how. to work the grout 1 records as a soldier were at all Maxim and turning it, guided by'" ' ^ the periscope, begun emptying the half-full belt of curtridges into the face of the Germans. The I dugout \ya.s well supplied with am munition for this gun und “Buck” ■Simpson was not stingy in letting the Germans have their own shot. “Time was meaningless to me, but 1 stuck to this gun, they say, two hours;'J don’t know how long,” Simpson .’juys. Anyway, . 'single-handed he operated thia MaYim"machine.gun, which ordi narily’ requires three men to han- , die, for two hours, holding off the Gtermans until the American lines had reorganized and advanced in a countoi’ attack. But this had ?iot bo’pn done until “Buck” Simp son had run countless belts of cartridges through this Maxim machine gun, checking, timo after ¡timjei.a forward movement of the times exemplary and he perform ed all duties given him. “The division sailed for France on April 21,1918, and landed ‘over there’ on May 1, 1918. We served with the English back of Amiers then to‘ the Marback sector in front of Mt. Sec, that famous hill which the French captured in the early days of the war at thQ ex pense of 20,000 men only to lose it immediately thereafter, It was here that Simpson showed those qualities that'afterwards distin guished him. • ‘ “A raiding party from the ene my’s line crept into our machine gun position, killing the sentry on duty and threatening the position. Simpson calmly took up a rifle, left .there by an infantryman, and commanded à . battalion. - My ma- chine gun company lost five offic ers and 188 men out of a strength of six officers; and 172 men. ^‘Thè position could not be held and a withdrawl for reorganiza- tion was ordèred. The machine gunners were to hold up the im pending counter-attack, protect.- Ing the infantry wlthdrawel. When the time came for the first platoon tb, withdraw, .. Private ; Simpson, disregarding the orders, an act bravery which uàualiy receives.a court-îmartial or a congressional medal, telling his platoon com mander that he was from Texas and did not mean to run from any Dutchmart. • ' "Our handful' of 85 men retired for reorganization. Private Simp son, instead of retiring, advanced to a machiné gun nest and stand ing over the pit with a hand-gre nade, he killed the seven Germans in the pit and jümped to keep frpm being shot down. He next turned the gUn on the Germans!, to a pp- sition which commanded any pro- bably çbiintèrr-attack. lipng after the pbsitibn had been taken tip, one ¿ould heat a. lone machine gun barking piit in front; it was Private Simpson fighting the Bdcne; alone and npt "in line of duty; almost in disre'gard of ord ers,: pimply because he was aT'ex- an and did not' know how to re treat. Ho loft the pit to join his advancing platoon about 2 p. m., having held off the Germans single handed for two hours. His was a forlorn hope, an act of bravery against the better judge ment of his officers; yet succes sful due to its very daring. “In the period of disorganiza tion which followed after the re lief of the division, during the pe riod when replacements were re filling the depleted ranks, the work of Private Simpson was ov erlooked. As his battalion com mander I recommended him for the distinguished' sprVlce cross; In'so doing I did him àn injustice for truly he deserves the congres sional medal of hqnor for no brav er act was ever done than when he held up a counterrattack alone “As his company, commander, later as his battalion commander, I made the recommendation which was verified and approved by Gen eral Julian Lindsey upon which he was given the distinguished ser vice cross and, the croix de guere “Sergeant Alvin York of Teh' nessee was a member of the Three Hundred and Twenty-eight reg iment. of the Eighty-second Divi sion. His aqt, together with that of Private Simpson’s was, herald ed the bravest act of , personal valor performed by any American soldier. Personally, I regard the act of Private Simpson equal to if not greater than the deed of bravery, performed by Sergeant York, and he should receive .the credit that is due him. - Thanking you, etc., I am “Respectfully yours, '“W. A. CUNNINGHAM, JR., “Maj. Infantry, commanding C. Btn; Eighty-second Division.” Simpson is very modest and un assuming. He does not make any boast of , the number of Germans that he killed, preferring to talk about something elsei There is no self-boasting by Simpson, as- is characteristic of all real heroes.

Methodists to Meet in Memphis in 1926 North Carolina has produced a cotton crop of 1,090,000 bales, ac cording to the final December estimate released December 8 by the United States, department of agriculture. Of this amount, 1,- 080,868 bales were ginned tp De cember 1,. which ■ leaves 60,000 bales to be ginned.' This is the largest crop that North Carolina has ever produced, being 15,000 bales more than the 191J crop and 70,000 more than , waa produced in 1928. Last year the state gin ned 825,824 bales. Fields through'the southern por tion of the cotton .belt have been picked fairly clean, It is not un usual, however, at this date to see large fields ^hite. with cotton through the northeastern section of tho belt. Farmers stato that their yields, have'been unusually good, and the quality of the lint is much above the average. It seems that for the cro.t; as a whole, the dry weather was pos-' sibly'the beat thing that could have happened to it, аз it helcl the boll weevil damage down to a minimum and the amount picked' has been much in excess of ex pectations. Plants made a late start in the spring, due to cold nnd rain, but';had established a good system when they began to grow. This resulted in heavy fruiting everywhere and although the eai'- ly maturity of plants and he(ivy fruitage caused smaller sized bolls than usual, the greater number mado up for tho loss in yield due to size. Heavy frosts, beginning about October 11 and continuing until, the present tinfe, reduced the pros pective production by killing the plants and stopping the opening of many bolls that might other- i“'^ ise have produced cotton.

Various bota nical experiments he claims have established this, beyond question of doubt. And others who watched his experiment on a mimosa plant say that upon being stricken it'ishowed clear signs of muscular contraction, . And yet we are just beginning to catch the merest glimmer of the light of real knowledge even in this age in which we claim the greatest civilizations have been reached in the world’s history,'........ ^ .'< The casual reader may wonder that scientists will “piddle’’ with wild plats and spend a life of research .and^experimentation with the various plants. But ho>v can the world, expect to improve on plant life until men know plants, their makeup, their '.‘feelings,” likes and dislikes. So time spent experimenting with plants to learn whether or not they can feel and see and whether or not they have a muscular system, is not always, time lost. Luther Burbank commenced to “piddle" with a little old runty. Irish potato one day. He kept on,,experimenting and working .with it, and he fincjly learned its Ways,;j|fs feelings, its.likes and its dis^ lil{es. The result is the Burbank potato, which has added millions' of dollars to the world’s wealth., li^nd what he did with'the Irish potato, is just one of the many grerf things which Burbank has done, and Is doing, in developing and cnanglng the habits of plants and plant life. r ^ The farmer who thinks there Is’ nothing in his line for him to, learn , is all wrong. No calilnf on] the face of the earth, demands more experimentation and deeper ?learning than that- of farming. The things which farmers don’t llnow and, which they ought to know about plants and soils and animals, and weather, are of far moro importance than the things they do know. Thinking und experimenting with plaiit life hus already nearly revolutionized farming, Afew years ago the farmer did not think ho could produce but orte crop a year. Then thinkera and experi menters proved that two could be groWn on tho same land, Thia is especially true of some vegetables, potatoes for instance. That’s tho result of thinking and experimentation. .Some day wo shall bo abld«to grow two crops a year of almost anything. We are living in a fast age. Men can’t take) timo to yi'ait,for just one crop a year. We must have two, > : Bönds at 4.43 Interest Rate P. O S .OF A.

The above clipping is taken from the Davie Record, edited by Mr, Frank Stroud for the pust 15 years. 3VIr, Stroud has probably never been a poor man. In fact we feel sure he has never been a poor man.

The bitter taste of poverty has never knocked at the door of the man who wrote that. :Any county, or any people who have for their tax collector a man who is both willing and able to carry people from one year to another, from lean years to fat years, in the matter of taxes is the greatest blessing they can se cure.

Cooper, Acting Secretary State Board .of Health, made the following statement to day in regard to tho Tuberculosis Christmas Seal Sale : • “As a health officer, charged with the official diity of helping to protect your health and ubi'ng for that purpose your tax nioney, I am profoundly .interested in the Christmas Seal Sale, because I know that the volunteer health work which it supports, serves to stimulate me. and . my official col leagues to hewer and greater endeavors. I am anxious that it shall succeed because I know from experience that many of the excellent health procedures now accepted and practiced by mo city, county aii'l rtato d«n-crt- nienls of health, I nee did noi exisi and canie into Miir.a only Ьэсаияе some wide-awake volunteer health society or agency, unbounded by law or tradition, experimented, tested and demonstrated .'until they found a practical means of carrying them on. I endorse the Seal Sj\le hearti ly because I recognize the limita tions of official health work, which is prescribed by law and is, there fore, more or less restricted. But the Seal is not merely a means for raising money. I pre fer to think of' it as a silent mes senger of health, making, its mo dest way into every nook, of our great state. A messenger who gives you and me a chance to broadcast good will ' and' more abundant health. This messeng- ey becomes powerful and influen tial in proportion as you and I use him. When a Seal comes into my of fice on the envelope of a friend or a professional colleague or a business firm, it reminds me that through the sale of enough Seals just like it scores of pals, undeiv noui’ished children are going to bo transformed into glowing, hardy knots of muscle encased in hides of tdn, I am-assured that some hundreds of \vage earners in this state will not go to un timely graves. 1 The Seal tells me that талу families, torn by elck- ness, aiid distressed by. the men- . acing threat; of deathfwill'l^e're|ii§ Jiogtr«f ZiMfetd rollio* •nu«ert«nMar.Bddl*«d* ing AoMTlean uumorUt« More сошШК.

It is obligatory on ministers of the Gospel to be faithful In the discharge of their pastoral and ministerial duties ; and it is also obligatory on the members to es teem ministers highly for their works’ sake, and to render them a righteous compensation for their labors. • 11.

And he is eternally right. There ought to be ho interference with bus lines on the part of thé law, except to see that they keep with in' the bounds of the la>v, and it is not right for the law to say that any man who owns an automobile or a truck shall not be allowed to haul for pay any passenger, or picce of .freight for any body, at any time. The state built the roads, and the property of tho state Was not taxed to pay for them. The roads were paid for by the owners of automobiles and buses. These ought, therefore, to be left entirely free to use< thé roads. They belong to the people and not the railroads. And the railroads have no business trying to regulate our highways, and the traffic over them, any morei than the people have a right to choke out and cripple the railroads. Let us hope that the next legislature will'repeal every law thiU would attempt to hamper the free use of the highways throughout North Carolina. #' HI ♦ * >|i ,♦ * K< it< « * >t SPECIAL With each yearly subscription to The Mocksvjlle Enterprise at a dollar per year, from now un til January 1st., wo will give an extra subscription for one year for fifty cents.

Has countless hurts to fear, But the past has taught by the fights we’ve fought We shall laugh in the coming year, And the loss of today shall pass away And the, sting of it disappear.' We may fall to rise, for hope nev er dies, ’Tis only the dream that breaks, And one victory sweet shall soften defeat And pay for tho old mistakes; f’or wo smile at last, when the storm is past And the dawn in beauty breaks. Every conquering mind can Ipok behind At the ghosts, of' its doubts and fears, As the fearsome fright of a child nt night ; Eventually disappears; So the thing we dread, as we look ahead. Stands a milestone for our years So stand you fast till the danger’s past, Stand fast till ,the blow shall fall; For the chance , may be by the thing yqu see You shall not be hurt at all, And the day may dawn when the cross you’ve borne You shall gratefully recall.

According to W. A. Radapihner, Pomologist for the department of Horticulture at State College, .there are four main advantages -of planting pccans near the .house \«rJiich make this tho most valuable itree to plant under auch condi tions: Firat, the pecan has a very dense foliage and a wide spread, ¿making it perhaps the, South’s 1>eet deciduous shade tree. . Second, the pecan is perhaps «ur most beauUful tree adding as ünuch beauty as any othev tree in ^■“‘iscaping the home. Third,. th6 pecan is-the only «hade tree supplying a nice food, that the whole’ familjf can ;enjoy ЛЯ a luxury and delicacy dtiring; i»Jnte^';':v' '/'Г;, ...

Mr. Kimrey states . that , tho dairy workers of State Collego will render assistance in organiz ing such calf clubs and will help to locate the best blooded stock for the members. These workers also give instruction in how to feed and haiidle the' calf, "This is one of the best methods of securing a family cow,” says Mr. Kimrey. "It will also help to build up our dairy industry, especially in eastern North Caro lina. Calf club work not only provides the family cow but it also makes the family feel proud of the cow raised. This general ly guarantees better feed and care than if some old cow was pur chased somewhere. The calf club offers the sofest basis on which to build a dairy industry in this State.” HAUL OUT MANURE ON DRY , DAYS I-- - 3 . ■ • ' Raleigh, Dec. 12.—Either haul piit the manure and spread thinly on the fields planted to amàll' grain' or let it stay in the stables where it is packed down. Don’t, pile it out in a corner of the lot where it loses all of its nitrogen as ammonia gas which escapes into the air. '*Ahy time during winter, when the ground is dry enough, is a good time to spread manure on Bfflall grain,” says .E. C. Blair, ex< tension agronomist .at, State Col lege. ;V‘?This is.béttér than ,tp‘ pilp Ifthe .manare outside of the .barnil When piled loosely and exposed tP weather, the manure Is always damagd by certain bacteria which change thé nitrogen to amoiiia gas and this escapes into the air. Much of sthe vvalue} of ;the manure trua lost'. Leaching also plays a part'ih this loss of fertility."

C. Moss, sup erintendent of the tobacco branch station farm. ibiroed by a group of boys and in a county growing crbp. 'the spreading ofhelp of the county' ftgerii and ' manure In winter is an excellent local bank, each buy and calf.^ a pure bred heifer is « calf club. 'i i} Jiccoiding to: A. C.

Having ^one this, the agent then finds a 'fyasker willing to finance the pur- iBhase in ¿ase loans are needed, most ipases, the banks loan ^Bly three-fourths of the pur- «iiNse price with the young club awmbers paying down one-fourth. VJie note for the balance is signed Iqr the parents or some other re sponsible person. Generally,' the l>ank offers prizee for the boy or „,eans let it remain in the stable, »Iri making the best record dur- i where :it will be kept packed 4ng the year and «xhibiting^ the recopimends Mr, Bliir. practice, states Mr. Blair. Even a light application will form a blanket that protects the young plants from cold. Thé value of the manure as a source of nitro gen Is well known, but there is another point which should be re^ ^membered—if clover is to ,be sowed' on the i grain the follpwiirtf .! spring, manure applied in winter will neutralize some of the acids in thc soil making itaibetter place, for the clover, This leatftre is especially valuable on land not limed. In fact, Mr, Blair states that nianure acts somewhat like lime and its use has enabled many farmers to grow clover, on land where it wouldn't catch before .the manure was applied, "If it is not convenient to haul |,out the manure tp the field, by all Raleigh, Dec, 12—The dairy cow is a home market for feeds prO' duced and if , she is to pay the highest prices by producing milk she must ;be kept comfortable iii winter, 'rhat’s just the w«y ;and the oWner who doesn’t keep his milk CÓW warm and dry will find that she wj[ll .not produce milk,at, a piofit, ^‘The cow that is not kept warm it|y a good barn and a dry bed will lise a large part of her feed for this purpose and thus reduce the amount of nutriments available from milk production,” says John A, Arey, dairy extension specialist at Stnte College, “Then, too, groin must be fed liberally on those farms where it will be ne- cessAiy to use low grade rough- áige for legùnie .hays^ ‘ MK: Arey ' recommends t^ ti fresh, clean water of a medium temperature be given the, cows during winter. Cold water chills their bodies and feed energy must then be used to^warm them. The: water supply m'ust also be; convenient for. the cows to'u8o' Cows forced to go long ways thr^ ough mud and rain for water do not drink enough for heaviest milk production. ' It is advised ;that an accurate feed, „and, milk ;Produotion record ■be kept on the |oows .dui^lng wint-i er ''because' some .cowS jpay ' well for the fèed consumed, while oth ers do not. Accurate records are needed to locate the unprofUable cows, Mr. Arey states that the new year might be started; in. the right manner by the dáirynian buying a pair of milk scales. . Another winter suggestion by Mr. Arey is to give the yoiing heifer, calvé« some extra, feed and care during thç cold months of December, January,and P(»bruary. jA. stunted- Ijeifer never vinakes a good cow, he states, and many dairy cows are under-sized in this State because they, were not pro perly fed when calves, — Bright eyes; lively steps, an alert, mind and a keen interest in every moment of the day are the evidences of á healthy child, say home demonstration workers. These evidences are secured by giving the child gopd food, regu lar hours for meals, .re^t and' sleep ; together with outdoor play in ;the sunshine and fresh air. Ten farmer»'in Davidson coun-' ty fed 67 pigs from weanlings up to 200 pound hogs and sold them in the pens for tliirteen cents per pound'malting a net profit of ....6.49 per pig because of good feeding methods. , • Truth is facts in the right re lation to other facts and the whole of truth .'has not been found until its relations to other facts has been determined.—From address of Dr. E.

Hampton yadkinville, Dec. 6.—How a fif teen-year-old boy, Jamcs Seagrav- ,<¡3, with only a shirt, a pair of threadbare pants, à ragged coat and stockings with only remnants of feet in them, in leaky, run- down shoes, helped to operate a Avhiskey itili, and waa then ar- I'csted 'at Frank Cheek’s home in upper Yadkin, is related by ofRc- ,ors who made the arrest, and who are firm in the conviction that the Ind was only a '-tool” used by “higher-ups” to carry on the dangerous part of the work; who -wqs not giveii even decent pay f o r his nefarious labor. The boy was sleeping In a sec ond-story, loft room. When the of ficers woke hljn up, he meekly got'to his feet and put on the meager clothing described. It Was one of the .coldest nights of the early winter and as he walked out of the door he shivered, while Jie tried to appear nonchalant and nnabashed in the eyes of the of ficers. One of them offered the lad his coat,, but it Was refused. However, when the boy was placed in the car a large robe was wrap ped around hiini to keep him warm as they drove to the jail. It is the hope of revenue offl- «ors that Jimmie will come across •^vith information as to who was interested in the blockade shanty -which waa raided some time ago And if he does tiiat he will likely jret off light' In Judge Webb's court., Jimmie is the son of the late Jim Segraves, Sr., who is,be lieved to havé been thé man who buried fifteen gallons of liquor in a dugout In, the woods near the place where officers raided last summer. The cache was uncover ed several months ago and the yellow, ropy liquid destroyed. The wooden sides of the can had drop ped away, being consumed by the dry rust. The dugout was walled •with stout timbers. The still place raided by the of ficers, which resulted in warrants for "Preacher ’ Cheeks and Lester Seagraves, was located upon land said to be the property of U. Cheeks. At that time the latter was in jail serving a sentence up on a charge of blockading. Walter Cheeks was also arrested, later. Malt was found in the, ovitbuild- ings oiittund the place and at. thaj; time Frank Cheeks is said to have had several hogsheds of pum'mies in his ainokeihouBe, but on account of the fact'that they had not fer mented and did not contaih un il legal amount of alcohol, they were left untouched. But when tho of ficers returned later the pummies liad disappeared. When Jimmie was arrested the other day, he said to one of the of- ficers, "Didn’t you see me trem bling that day whon you talked to mo7” mëaning the time when the offlceirB first raided tho place. ■"No, I didn’t,” the oiHcer replied. "Well, I’ll tell you,” said Jim mie, "I was pretty near scared to death that,day; I thpught sure you were going to arrest me, too,” and be smiled ruefully. Jimmie said he left the country aoon after the officers got through with their search.. He went over into Ashe county where his moth er lives, "And I didn’t come back ’till fodder pullin’ time, either,” he added. The officers knew this to be a fact from other informa tion they liW& gathered. "Somebody will come to go on my bond," declared Jimmie. He proved to be right in this, also, for a Mr. Studevant, father-in-law of Frank Cheeks, who ia an cx-union soldier and draws a monthly pen sion of $90, came over and signed Jimmie’s bond., The;boy wilfhave lo go to fed eral court to stand trial. There he will be asked to tell who the re^l owners pf the blockade still were, and, in the meantime, it is said, officers are looking for the ‘higher-ups.” There will be a Christmas tree at Oak Grove School House Thurs day night, December 24th, will be gin at 7 o’clock; Every body come.' . -----------' . -----------, - NOTICE OF SALE CHRISTMAS TREE AT OAK GROVE Under and by virture of an ord er of the Superior Court of Davie County, made in thei special pro ceeding entitled Southern Bank & Trust Co., Administrator, V.

SELECTION AND PREPARA. TION o r TOBACCO PLANT ' BEDS У ■li her first lire that day while I was there, and how we did sit around that "first lire of autumn”—as oar Junior English teacher would have said i^-and how w# did bring back college daya. We lived them all over so oom> pleteljr that a sudden yell from the back yard had to bring us to our sense enough for ns to rMliM that we were not in college any more, and instead of it our young ones in the back yard had found the “see-Baw.” From the topmost position of this, old, faithful, farmyard equipment. Gay’s youn gest one had tumbled. To the back yard we followed our ears, for such screams as that' one small child was emitting 1 By the time I had reached the back door G«}r had the Pink. Ap roned Mias in her arms and was showing her the pretty geese that were coming .up to see what waa wrong with "Baby Gay. Hy eyes followed in the direc tion from which the large flock of white geese had come, and at that instant my thoughts left the gocso, left the pink apron, and left everything but the glorious panorama in front of me—^white, wide-open cotton was everywhere. I stood there in Gay’s back door —dumb. I never saw, such cot ton, 1 never saw such whitenese such a picture I Raleigh, Dec. 2L—‘^The plant ' bed,is the mbst;important factor to begin with in a tobacco crop. If you fail on plants, the chances are that you will fail on a crop, | that is, so far as tho best quality of tobacco is concerned," says E. Y. Floyd, Tobacco extension spe cialist for State College, "So ev ery precaution should be taken to get the best quality of tobacco rather than quantity for the year 1926. Good tobacco will bring a good' price any year. , "The selection of a suitable'soil .should be given first consideration. In the heavier soils especially, we should selisct a soil that will not get too hard or bake before the plants get a start, A ^ell drain ed soil with a southern or south eastern exposure should be select ed, with the cold winds of the North and West broken oil by trees or hills where this is pos sible. Moisture is very essential in selecting the bed. You will find it By this time Gay had reached the door with Miss Pink Apron, ,who was still crying out some thing about the see-saw, whije Gay was stili muttering: something over the dark ciirls aboiit the p^t- ty geese. Even that didn’t, bring me out of my reyejry of the beaa ty that seemed to spread all over everywhere. I finally said,, "Gay^ for. itsibèauty alone that field it worth many thbüsaii Thé clear-ringing voleé of Gay, for which she was noted in col lege, floated back to me as she tugged on into the house to get of Pink Apron’s face. I didn’t catch what she said, so I followed her with the question, “What was -it you said ?” She laughed and repeated, "Oh, I just said I wish we could sell it for jits beauty then, for it brings no thing any other way. Why Judy, you think of all that pretty white ness, as you call it, not worth on the markèts today but sevesteen and half cents, and Walter saya it will go on down he guesses, and then down some more,” For the first time in my life had I ever seen'Gay show a slight resentment of the "Powers That Be,” but the quick flash in her eye reassured me thiit this new quality had found a place in the make-up of those whose gooda good plan to select some of your beds near^a' running streani, if i sportsmanship'had been'Jie bra^ possible, then if we should have; of a certain senior class. ,a dry season as we did this year' Щ ЁЙ1Hi: »Ì iii Щи-ìli you'could conveniently water the beds, which will mean success in some cases. “The preparation is next in im portance, Loaves, sticks or stumps, if they are present, should be removed from the surface of •the soil. Brush should then be piled on and made to lie as close together as possible so that it will burn easily. After the burning is completed all the coals should be raked from the bed. A colter) disc harrow or a light plow should be used to break the top layed of soil, being careful not to turn up any clay. Any commercial ferti lizer recommended for plant bed use should be applied at the rate of' two pounds per square yard with the addition of ono pound of cotton seed meal. This npplica* tion of fertilizer should be sown broadcast and thoroughly mixed , with the soil to prevent the top of the soil from becoming crusty and killing the plants. After the ferti lizer is mixed well with the soil, ■ the soil may be raked with a small tooth rake before sowing the seed." 1. "Just think,” ahe, continued, "here we are raising all this cot- ton without an idea in the world about the sale price. You are right Judy, we are raising it for its beauty, I guess. Well I Well I the joke is on us anyway. But don’t you know such haphazard shop-shod selling as this is a dis^ grace on us fanners and against all the laws of sane economics that Wo learned in oollogo about aup ply and demand?” By this time, the Pink Apron had twisted itself out of its moth er’s arms, and now the mother was standing very erect. Her head was lifted even a little high er thas usual, I thought. Then like a fla.sh, a great, big smile covered her face, and it seemed to melt her whole being into a relaxed care-free college girl again, and she went on: "Judy yoü rememb or that morning we got up at four o’clock to study for the Econo mics Quiz? You remember how sleepy you were?” Then with characteristic flute-like laugh she added, “I declare meeting the law lof■ supply and demand at four o’> clock in the mornisg before quiz in college is not like meet ing it face to face in' your own cotton field." It was my time to speak, so with quickened interest in the whole affair, I asked;. VGay, why is itC o m fn and ¿ M i I that, you i péé " B0.4mucliï in ^llv the You know I m arried Walter and came out here to live in this an cestral home of his. This is a beautiful old place* as you know) with an abundance of antique furniture, with a staircase that came from Holland, with four- postor beds brought over irom London, and with the chimneys made of brick from Scotland.” Then a criep tone came into hor voice, and an old familiar twinkle came to her eyes as she ádded, "You know Santa Claus has vlelt- ed flva generations right down thee* тегу ehimneye. Why the whole place ie Walter’» eye belle. He would part with the children and me^ too, febore he would give it up, and I don’t blame him, I love'it out here. So here we are, Walter « college graduate, called an np-tenlate, wide-awake fara- er, and yét we can’t make this farm pay ue enough to live on and.get flxftd tip too. "Why, Gay," I replied in a half scolding tone, "it looks like to me you are living. Such fruits and vegetables, and chickens and eggs, and pigs and cows, as you do have oat here;’’ “Yes, child, that is the way Walter and I felt about it until we tried to make this farm bring ue in some money, Judy, you see, you stay in town in an apartment house.. You have even forgotten that people ever lived' without waterworks, electric lights, plec- tric irons and electric sweepers. You know you have. Here I am —haven’t even had waterworks put in yet—don’t even have elec tric lights, much less all these conveniences that I see eerywhere bgo. Why I’m just dying for a new car in the place of that worn out Ford, and I want an eJectrlc stove, an electric iron, electric sweeper, some electric waffle iross, a new ironing board, a white kitchen cabinet, a white table and chairs to match the cabinet, a sun par lor made out of the room on the southern exposure, a ait of grand mother’s furniture brought down from up stairs and done over lor the eiin parlbr, and more soft- tinted lights all oyer this beautir ful old 'hoüsé. Why, I just pass the store windows in a hurry to keep from wanting. Yoii should have heard Mam^ my the other morning whon I told her at breakfast that I wanted an electric heater for the dining room. She said, ‘Missis, you is the wantin-est little 'oman dat I ever seed I’ If she hadn’t used that word ‘little’ right whero ahe did,'I think I would have gotten provoked—even at Mammy—for it isn’t exactly as bad as she made it, but it ’most is. I ou see Mammy lived here with Walter’s mother when nobody needed all these modern things, and so these wants didn’t come to Mother Witherington by pecks and bushels as they come to me. On the other hand, in the place of conveniences, she had servants servanta everywhere. She didn’t really need the conveniences, for she had to keep all the help busy aomehüw. Today, Mammy is the only relic of those days that I possess, and it means too much work for me and for Mammy, too, without sub stituting help of some kind. Of course, I can’t tell Mammy that these electric irons and sweepers and cleaners are taking the places of her Sister Ida and Sister Betsy Anna and Brother Jake, as she calls them, and even her own dear mother. Why Mam my wouldn’t understand, and if she did, it would break her heart, but nevertheless, it has happen ed. The servants, with their cheap labor are gone irom, the farm— absolutely gone—and we who con tinue to live out here must have conveniences or before we even know it, we shall be worked out of our good looks and good dis positions, too," The last .phrases were a com bination of intermitting chuckles and words—words that she and I both knew meant more than shq was lotting them mean right then, I have watched Gay more than once, I remembered from"' our college days how well sho had a way of not letting her inmost thoughts reach the surface very often—an innate refinement seem ed to Intervene each tíme, I sat there and wondered if the same old trait would show itself again or would she continue, an<J to my surprise she did, but not "But, Judy," she eaid, " it tokee money—money—money to get all of these 'Life Savers,’ as Walter calls these diffeVent labor-saving devices, and here comes the whole story in a nutshell: In this coun ty, as you know, oiir one big mon ey crop is cotton, and here cotton is today seventeen and a half cents.” By this time Mammy had placed her last stick of wood. on. the beautifully polished, antique an dirons; and a tremendous old fire- place was already sending out ite warmth and cheer for its hund red and sixteenth winter, Ae Mammy closed the door, sputter ing out something about frost thai night. Gay continued: “So Judy, that is why you see so much in the papers about marketing or- ganiiations. Somebody has got to work out a plan that will make farming pay the farmer or he can’t keep at it and keep a wife and children, too.” If it takes orgifnifation, I’m for it, Walter joined the Cotton Growers Association four years ago and has done liis best to ^ all the other cotton farmers a- round here to Join. He says the Association needs more members so it can handle more cotton, but it is so hard to show enough men and women the value of farmers learning to sell together instead; of selling against each other run ning the prices down on themi- selves.” ■ ^ For a minute 1 sat there with out speaking, and this thought came to me: "I wonder if this Gay of the Junior Economics Class of a few years ago is aware of the fact that in her answer to my question she has covered the vital points of the big economic prob lem that faces our country to« doy?” I started to say something, but ust then tho dinner bell rang and Mammy’s yells at the child ren about clean faces and hands stopped the conversation where it was. After dinner two college girls of other days lay down to rest. They didn’t talk, for with Mam- my’s dinner, they were too full to speak.—By Susan Landon; Field Service Department, North Caro lina Cotton Growers Association, Raleigh, N. C.

Dec. 24, 1926 '■'•I There never has been a time when more newspapers were talk- ing "trade at home,” than right now. We see that sentiment blaz- : ed out boldly on nearly every edi torial page in the state.. Truly competition between towns is now , keen. And Mocksville is still with out a Chamber of Commerce, like a country in the midst of a world war without an army. ------------ ■' Many feared that the dreadful drouth of last summer aiid fall would have a tendency to, discour- ^ age Mocksville home owners in their efforts to beautify the town, > but not .80. This fall the good work of; planting shrubbery and trees and making lawns has gone "on with possibly renewed effort. Let the good work continué. Let U8 not let up until We make Mocks ville the prettiest town in the en tire cbuntry. ■ Let every citizen see to it that our highways shall be left for. the legitimate enjoyment of every person who cares to use them., ' Let there be no legal or attempted legal regulatio of their use, and let men buy automobiles and drive over them for whatever legitimate purpose they care to, WUhout compulsory liability insurance and without burdensome state negula* tions. Former Governojr Morri ■on Is right in hig fight, and ahould lie auppoi^'by every citizen who . 1 atlll holds private rights and per« «¿nal privliétfw dear. > Let ‘Back to 'tht Constitution,” be ouir slo- f«n. ....... of ‘.'Sirs, by .this craft we get our wealth.” But the next general assembly will possibly be made up of the class of fellows who will let just such n fool burden be placed on the automobile owners. Folks, if wo don’t manage some way to kill out some of the fools and grafters in ,this country, peo ple who regard pi'ivate rights s^s worth while, will eventually have to leave the state. We had rath er live in Mexica o|r some oth6r country, thnn in a country where the grafters can elccra bunch of nuts to office and then giet them to pass laws which enable them to plunder the tax paying public, and if this be treason, make the most of it. /-•Í Bethel 63 2.92 DuHn's ■ 63 . 1.38 Elbaville leads in attendance this week and Bethel leads in the offering.

'—— ——--------- "The boy or the girl who has . had the proper Christian training in the home, is not likely to have his faith shaken by any theory of modernism, in later life,” was the substance of a statement made by Superintendent Beam in his ad dress at First Baptist church last Sunday evening. That’s true. The trouble is there are so .yei’y, very many who have not had this ad vantage of early training. The , trojible comes there. If the Ame rican Christian home did its duty, then all these modern theories The Rhinelander trial caused the Winston-Salem Journal to ad visé both^males and femalds to be careful about letter wi it ing to each other. Says the Journal: “Lord Chc'itoviVild fa\t his 9/.n a great deal of good advice, and some not so good. We forget whether he advised him noncfrn»- ing the retention and prtiaprva. tion of letters written fo the fair sex, and received from tho same Perhaps he advised him never to write letters to '0rls or receive epistles from them. “But reading the recent black and white scandal, of the Rhine lander case, we are moved to point out to all fooli;-'h young folks .this fact: That there iá nothing constant but change. Jn other words, the wonderful he o»* the adored she may (>e sweet and cute and perfectly lovely today and tomorrow be suing for aome- thing or other with a bale of let ters lying on the trial table. And there is nothing so silly as an ex humed love letter.” That’s about the best piece of advice we have seen handed out for some days; There is nothina we can think of that would come «0 nearly causing our goat to get absolutely away ns to have a similar experience to that of Rhinelander. It must be terrible, to say thjB least. Boys and girls, do, be careful what you write in yoiir love letters. If you must say It, talk It out loud, but -bo careful how you put i{ in writ- in^' ; ''•r',.:.. . , "I like your double colum article on^ knowing hoW,” said ; i a..;ñan from Smith Grove Saturday morn ing. "You might have mentioned that by knowing how, men are. making hens, lay more eggs,” he continued,- calling our attetioii to an article which appealed in the daily-papers, a day or two ago, written by Dr, C, R, Harding, tell ing of how, by tho use of artificial light, hens are made to do doublo duty. Well that’s just exactly what we were driving at. That’s just another example of what can be doné when we know how. And when we learn how, we will make our state and county highways, which cost millions of dollars, free for the legitimate enjoyment of every person in.the state,, and we will learn to send men to the legis lature who have brains and character enough that they can’t be trapped into passing laws which are fostered by designing grafters while the citizens and tax payers are working hard and building up our state and trying to make it great and prosperous commonwealth and an ideal place for honest men and women to live. Yes, when we learn how, we shall do many things which ought to have been done long ago, but tho sad part of it is, we’ are learning how to do about everything else but make laws for the benefit of the whole of the people, and keep laws from being made which are designtid to allow a-few crooks as night, the ‘23; Union Chapel [fhursday riight, the 24; and at Dulins and Elbaville Saturday night, 26th: There will be a Christmas tree at each place, and we are looking for Santa Claus to be around somewhere during the time of these exercises. which con((radict, or appaitently lo plunder the public. Wo nvèd contradict, the teachings of the I to learn some things about ^.'overn- Holy Scriptures, would get no j ment as well as indus(|i y and sci- where. But the boy or girl who ence. has not been rooted and ground ed in the faith in early life, is in great danger of being ruined when he or she falls in the hands of some of our radical modernists teachers in some of the schools and colleges of this country, I An exchange says that the ■coming session of the General As sembly will 'no doubt be faced with agitation for compulsory automobile liability insurance.

It is no good, it will damn your aoulB. Oh you say booze is all right in its place. Sure It is, but its place is in hell. If you want to have a merry Christmas and. a happy nev.’ year you let old booze -alone, and spend your money for that which is good and which will please God, and buy some nice presents for father, jnother, brother, sist'^ er, wife, children, or sweet heart, and celebrate Jesus’ biith-day in a religious service, and this will be the happiest Christmas you have ever had. If you drink that rotten stuff you call booze on Christ mas morning you will get up with your hair stand ing straight up on your head, and your eyes red, and your breath smelling like a rotten apple, or u billy goat, and. a devil in you as big as a horse, then when any of your family would speak to you you would look at them as if you would jump thr ough them, and with a curse^word loud enough lo be heard for a block. That is the way the devil gives Christmas to those who work for him. For 15 years at every Xmas my nights lodgings were in the lock-up with a big flne to pay, the next morning. So fi’iends I hava experienced these things. I know what I am talking about. We do not have very much to eat or wear, but thank God we enjoy what we do have, and try to celebrate Jesus’ birthday in singing and praying and conducting rojigioua services and trying to keep oursiplves ready to meet Jesus when he conics. . I love you men and boys of this town and country, and every body who is on the dark road' that leads to hell, and I want you saved, and my prayers, though they are weak, go up to God for all you unsaved men, womon, boys and girls.^0 you married men and young men. Juat atop and think on these things. Before you turn up the bottle or jug to pour that rotten stuff down your throat. Just look at your poor wife, who loft her father and.mother and joined with you in mar riage, how happy she would be to get a nice new dreaa and new hat and ahoea for Xmas, and those dear little tots that God born in the-home, how happy, they would be to get a new pair of shoes and stockings to keep their little feet warm, and a new dress or new suit of clothes, and some candy, apples, oranges, and you young men how happy you could make dear old father and mother, brother or sister, feel to bring them a nice Christmas present, and then for them to see their son, or brother sober and enjoying Christmas. Wouldn’t that make them feel happy. So lets stop and think on these things. The reason men, women, boys and girls get in trouble is because they don’t stop and think on these things. . So let God have the rlght-a-way of that big old heart of yours, and you will have the happiest Christmas you have ever had. Written by, ” ' , REV. W. H.

HAMMER IS FOR TAX MDUC< TION Many" Democrat's Not Pleased With Compromise ВШ Trend Is to Help Large Taxpay ers Rather Than Middle or Average Class of Citizens By H. E.'C. Bryant Washington, Dec. 19.—Many^ democrats are not pleased with thè còmpróiiilBe tax bill. Of course it will have to be handle^ by the senate after the house has passed it, arid the indications now are that it will receive róugh treatment over there. Repreientative Hammer' Mm petions from Sao ford people and others favoring reduction flnt on the necesiariee of life rather, than on luxuries and large incomes. The petitions requests that the war and nuisance taxM be re duced, or be removed. They m- pecially urge that the war tax on industrial alcohol be iedu</ed to pre-war rates. Mr. Hammer favors tax redue- tion, but says the troiible with ^he present bili is that while it takes some of the taxes off of the pecessaries of life, small incomes and very ia:rge incomes; it\ gives very yttle benefit or relief to the middle class "taxpayers, who are the real captains of industry in this country.” He pointed out that the bill tak es the tax off of trucks and of firearms that might be called a ne cessity but retains more, than 169,000,000 on motor vehicles. It takes off all the tax on cameras, lenses, smokers’ articles, mahjong sots, slot machines, works of art, brokers’ tax, pool and billard table tax, shooting gallorlea, riding aca- domiea, tobacco manufacturers, use of yachts and opium dispen saries. Mr. Hammer said : “I am not pleased with the bill, and while it would give some re lief for small- tax-payers, yet the provisions beneftting the ■ largo tax-payers without benefiting the middle or average man or the well- to-do tax-payer are so objection able that many of the democrats wiU not sùpport it. "Wero it not for the fact that it is expected that the senate will not be so inconsistent as to lend itself to carry out Mellon’s ideas in part, which are in this bill, that he was not able to get in the bill last year, many others would vote against it. "One of the most objectionable, features of the bill is the life tenure of the tax board, which is created by the bill. WfThave an Interstate Commerce Commission, with commissionerà appointed for 12 years, which is entirely too long, and is operated againat the beat Interest of the public.” the bridge is the .cause, of delay.

Prices are nearly al ways lower at thia time than In the spring, and seed offerings have not boen picked over, so there is a better chance to get good quali ty.
