Hickorv M ercury. -postmssters and clerks will tell vou that a big percentage of our population buy lavishly from mail order houses. The reason for such procedure is not hard to find—we do nor adver- jjse—or at least do not advertise enough to stop to any appeciable extent this tremendous flow of jionev that daily leaves the state. We make but little attem pt to com bat the glamor of the gaudily illus- tra'ed mail order catalogue which lies in plain view in 99 out of every 100 homes 111 our country districts. It makes good reading—interesting forthe passing of time on a rainy Jav-or to be read by lamp light after the dav’s work “The mail order catalogue is the greatest competitor our local busi ne-s houses have. It is the great retardent 111 tlie state’s • advance ment 111 a business way. W hat are local business men doing to combat it? Very little, we are sorry to sav. We still meet men who do not advertise, or advertise so very IttIe that it is hardly worthy of the name. We have heard the catalo gue of certain mail order house cal led the Tar Heel Bible.” This for the reason that it is alwavs a conspicuous part of the furnishings of our country homes. Are prices lotver 111 these mail order houses thau those asked by home merch ant? Inolher instances cunningly worded prices lists lead one to be lieve they are not. Colored illus trations attract to articles, the buy er can verv well get along without. This is a powerful weapon for the the mail order house and is used unstiii.ingly.

MAINTAIN! UNAWED BY -INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” MOCKSVILLE,. NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY'- DECEMBER 7.1921. It Some Nerves. used to be considered very stylish'for a woman to have nerve* A nervous breakdown was consider ed quite a luxury, usually the re suit of too much social gavety and consequently loss of sleep ’ However^ “nerves” are going rapidly out of style and- the sooner a lot of our so called nervous pec pie find this out, the better for themselves and those living with them. We have all m t some wcineu ai d home men too, who are suffering at least five deadly ailments accord ing to their own mind, yet they live on and seem to have a fairly good time too. As a rule they burv all the healthy members of their family and finally die of a very prosaic ill ness known as old age before any of their five deadly silments have sufficiently developed to kill them. We have never had sufficiently de velopment to kill them. We have never had sufficient courage to ask the. poeple for an explanation of such phenomena but - no doubt one would.be forthcoming. — That is the sort of a thing into which “nerves” get one and such people should have our sympathy, not for their ailments but for their lack of will-power, though more often we feel that a shaking would do them more good than sympaty. —Selected.

It is easy to draw a booby prize. It is an- axiom that a Ford will take you there and bring you back—nearly always but not quite always. When a man goes to heaven by the Ford route he does not want to come back and when he goes to hell by the Ford he can’t come back. He stays. But thia ought not to be charged against the Ford.

It is but one of the items m the day’s automobile accidents, even if such can be called accidents. . Death and destruction ou such occasions are liardly accidents. Death and des truction ou such qccasious are hard ly accidental, they are examples of causes and effect, they are but the certainties. So long as people handle cars like children -handle dangerous toys accidents are the normal occurrences. Novvandthen one is a little more rough or disas trous but that is all. It will be so until people learn that cars are make to use and not abuse. There is no moral. ItE as always been said that the dancer must pay tlie piper. Anyone can drtvfc a car recklessly but sooner or later he must pay the price. "Neither ex ample nor precept is any good. He is J ust going on till lie gets it and. that is all there is to it.

Before the ship docked, Mr. Morse, ,ho had heard his presence in Amer ic a was desired by Federal authori ties investigating his shipbuilding con tracts during the war, had expressed his willingness to return voluntarily, sad this request was complied with when he had reassured the French' officials that he WdUld not oppose re turning immediately to Am erica if he were not placed under arrest. Morse took up quarters in the Con tinental Hotel here escorted by French jnspector Aigouy, and he will rem ain there until the Paris is ready to sail. "I am willing to return to America hy the first boat and I have so wired the United States D istrict attorney,” he told the correspondent on board the Pans. “I am over here because of ill- health’1 he added, "but I am willing to return even at the expense of jeo pardizing my life.” Police Commissioner Fabini, who was enjoving luncheon in the dining moms of the Paris as a guest of Mr. Morse, told the correspondent that he would take Mr. Morse ashore and de liver him' to the American counsel general. The Havre police were instructed by the secret service of the French minister of interior to arrest Charles "W Morse, American shipbuilder and financier, as soon as he landed from the liner Paris. The instructions were sent by telephone. The French police acted upon the request of the American embassy, which received belated instructions to obtain the arrest and detention of Morse. The heads of the secret ser vice here are not certain w hether the Havre police received instructions in time to apprehend Mr. Morse, but they are relying upon the American newspaper men in H avre to shadow him until the police arrive. The French authorities say they will-hold the American financier until the em- hassy receives papers form ally de manding his extradition. It was impossible for an American warship to intercept the Paris, as there are no American vessels In French or British ports, all on this side of the Atlantic being in the Mediter ranean. “ j*? tyatheyvs. Elected ^'tcjVtite > Wlflhest-Gajiirimli Qfflcfi U fW orti|rJ • Ever Held In Thle Country; ; New York.—To Be of the greatest' service to - her* community and . her- countyy, the m arried woman should keeS herself infoi^ed ilOn questions 0J interest and nevejf^nUow herself to become indifferent'to1, politics. I ■ ■ This was the 'opinion of Miss a™™. Mathews, democrat, elected to the highest-salaried, office a woman has ever held In this country. She: was the successful candidate In New York county for the office of-register, a post paying $12,000 a year. The salary of Alice Robertson,- congresswoman, from Oklahoma, is only $7,BOO a year. " Miss Mathews ran' o n 'a 'platform the chief plank of which called for “a business woman for a business-job.” She will adm lt.no sex disqualifications for political positions but has no pa tience with the society dilettanti that have invaded the realm of. women’s politics. “The butterfly woman is use less In politics,” ' she said. The office of register is not pictur esque. Miss Mathews will have juris diction over a force of 144 workers, the m ajority of whom are men. The register's /office records transactions in real estate and other activities requiring official record, and keeps a file of notaries public signatures. “I do not propose to change the pol icies now being followed in the office,” she explained. “W omen have the inherent ability which fits them to discharge any pub lic function as well as men can do IL Frequently they are handicapped' by lack of business experience. Women since the beginning of tim e have been keeping the home and raising the chil dren, while men have* had unlimited opportunity to engage In civic affairs. A business training is a great asset forany public officer—m an or woman. The person who has been employed understands best how to give the peo ple full value for their money and how to get the greatest quantity and best quality of work from those under him. “People who are compelled to work, especially if they like their vocation, are the ideal public officials. I be lieve there are a great m any possi bilities for the m arried Woman in po litical roles—the woman who has raised children that have gone their way, who retains her youthful enthu siasm, but, after years is isolated do mestically, is out of touch with cur-( rent events. Many medical men&told that the female brain, under such circum stances, retrogresses beyond re covery. This theory is ridiculous. I can't refute it scientifically, but I know m any women who have ‘come back’ after raisifig families. Children should broaden a woman, never cramp her. Of course, the mind becomes flabby through dlsnse, but the m arried woman’s m ental sluggishness is no greater than that which afflicts any one after years' of mind inerta.” THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVTLLE, N. 0.

Cameron Forbes, former Governor General; say in their reports to President Harding, based on their six. m onths' study of conditions in the islands. . “W e are convinced,” they say,-“that it vyoiild be a betrayal of the Philip pine people, a misfortune to the Amer ican people/a distinct step backward in the path of -progress and discredi table neglect of our relationship there without giving the Filipinos the best chance possible to have an orderly and. perm anently stable’ governm ent.' “We fedl that with all their many excellent qualities, the experience of th e-p ast eigh£ years, during which they have had practically autonomy, haB not been such as to justify the people of the United States in relin quishing supervision of the govern m ent of the Philippine Islands, With drawing their arm y and navy, -and leaving the islands a. prey to any pow erful nation covering their rich soil and potential commercial advantages." These observations of the investi gators are contained In the''“general conclusions” and "recommendations" made hi the report, which was made public. The complete report, cover ing 100 typew ritten pages, will be made public later. The “general con clusions” are,as follows: . “We find Qie people happy, peace ful-and in. the main prosperous eud keenly appreciative of the benefits of American rule. “We find everywhere among the Christian Filipinos the desire for in dependence generally under the pro tection . of the United -States. “W e . find a- general failure to ap preciate the fact' that independence under th e ' protection of another na tion is hot true independence. “We find, that the government---Is not reasonably'free from these under lying causes which result in the de struction of government. ,“W e find that the people are not organized economically nor from the standpoint of national defense to m aintain an independent govern-- m ent- “We find that the legislative cham bers are conducted with dignity and decorum and are composed of repre sentative m en., “W e find that the lack of success in certain departm ents should not be con sidered proof of. essential incapacity on the part of Filipinos, but rather as indicating lack of experience and op portunity and especially lack of in spection.

Witlr rising color, she stared at him.' “Who—what I”' : - . “She's having ^ nice, little quiet flir tation with somebody," Martin said, w ith a significant and warning smile. “Who is it?” ~ “I don’t know who’s been talking to you about Cherry, Martin,” AUx said, sharply, “but you know you can’t repeat that-sort of rotten scandal to m e!” “I don’t mean any harm—I don’t meqn any harm I” he assured her, with a quick attem pt to quiet the storm he had raised. “Don’t get mad—don’t get m ad! But I happen to know that there's some attraction that’s keeping Cherry iiere, and I?came .up .to‘ look over the ground for myself,- do .,you see? Come on,'now, put m e.on!” AIix made an effort at self-control. “Martini you’re mistaken I” she .said, quietly.. “You have no right to listen to any. one who tells you such tilings, and if it wasn't that you’re Cherry's husband I wouldn’t listen to you! But you’ll have" to take my word for it th at it's a lie. We three have lived up here without seeing Iuiy one—any one! Cherry has hardly spoken.to a man, - except Petier and Antone and Kow1 since she cam e!” , “Who is this George Sewail ?” he .asked, shrewdly. “The lawyer! Oh, heavens, M artin! Why,- George was a beauof inine; he’s a widower of fifty, and*has just an nounced. his engagement to the trained nurse that ’took care of his boy!” . “H’m l”. Martin commented. . . “,if any One mentioned Cherry’s name In connection -with George," Alix said, fifmly, “that was a perfectly malicious: slander—’’ • “ Sewali’s wasn’t mentioned!” Mar tin said, hastily. . . “Whose name was. mentioned, then?” AlIx pursued, hotly. “Well, nobody’s name • .was men tioned.” M artin took a great many creased and rubbed papers from his vest pockets, and shifted them over. Finally, with a fat, deliberate hand he - selected one and put the others away. “This is from my mother,” he said. “My aunt, Mrs. North—” “We saw her here, a week or two ago!” Alix said as he paused. “Well, she was In Portland, and saw the folks,” said Martin. “Aiid my m other writes me .this—” And after a few seconds o f searching he jread from the letter:. • “ ‘Bessie North saw Cherry and Mrs. Joyce in Mill Yalley, and lf{I was you I would not let Clieity stay away too long. A wife’s place is with her hus band, especially when she Is as pretty a s Cherry, and if Bessie is. right, some body else thinks she’s pretty, too, and you know it .doesn’t take much to start, people talking. It isn’t like she had a couple of children to keep her busy.’ “That’s ail of that,” said Martin, folding the letter. He eyed Alix keen- Iy- “Well, what do‘ you .think?” he asked, triumphantly. “I. think that's a mean, wicked thins; to say I” she satd,- Indignantly. VNo U artin1V she '.said* silencing him,: as h e' would have- interrupted, her, “I know she is beautiful and young, and • I know—because she's told me->>tbat you and she feel that youj- marriage is a mistake, but if you think—” “Oh, s h e ’said that, did she? ,-N1Owt \look here,” with his air of assurance. • - “By George, she had something Qn her : min0 , when she ’ met .me today.

I thought . maybe she meant that you wanted her ' to go herself; no, she said, a n o te would do—” “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” AIix said, p u lled . - “Tour note!” Martin explained. “W hat note! I didn’t write any note. Cherry telephoned—” “No," he said, patiently and per- fanctorily, “you wanted^-Cherry—to— say — good-by — to—those—people— who—were—sailing! That was all. , She wrote it; it got there In time, I guess. Anyway, I beard the girl say to rash it to the boat I* . “Oh !” Ailx said.' “Oh—” she added. H er tone' betrayed nothing, but she was thoroughly at sea. “Did' I ask Cherry to say good-by to any one 7" she asked herself, going back to the beginning of the long day. Instinct warned her that nothing would be gained by sharing her perplexity with Martin. “I give you my word that she hasn't been five minutes alone with any one' but Peter and me!” she said; frankly, looking into Martin’s eyes. “Now, are you satisfied?” “Sure, I’m satisfied!" ,he answered. ‘TH take your say-so" for it.” He yawned. “Trouble with Cherry is, she hasn't enough to do!" he finished sapi- ently. “I’m a poor person with whom to discuss Cherry!” Alix hinted, with an unsmiling nod for good-night. And she lboked at Cherry’s corn- colored head, ten minutes later, with a thrill of maternal . protectiveness. Cherry was evidently asleep, buried defep under the blue army blankets. But Alix did not get to sleep thut night. She did not even undress. For it was while setting on the side of her bed, ready to begin the process, that through her excited and Indignant and whirling thoughts the first suspicion shot like a touch of flaine. “I’ll tell' Peter all this when Martin has gone,” Alix decided. “He’ll be furious—he adores Cherry—he’ll be furious—he thinks that there is no one like Cherry—” The words she had said came back -to her, and she said them again, half- aloud, with a look-of pain and almost of fear suddenly coming into her eyes. “Peter adores Cherry—” And then she knew. Even while the sick suspicion formed Ttself, vague and menacing and horrible, in her heart, she knew the truth of it And though for hours she was to weigh.it and measure it, to remember and question and compare 'all the days and hours that she and Peter and Cherry had been together; from the moment the thought was born she knew that it was to be with her an accepted fact-for all time to come. For a few seconds Alix felt ill, dazed, and shocked almost beyond en during. She sat immovable, her eyes fixed, her body held rigid, as a body might be in the second before It fell after 8 bullet h$d cleanly pierced the heart. Then she put her hand, to her throat, and looked with a sort of terror at the silent figure of Cherry. "Nobody must know—that was Alix’s first clear thought. She was breathing hard, her breast rising and falling painfully, and the blood In her temples began to pound; her mouth was dry. With a blind instinct for solitude she went quickly and silently from the sleeping porch, and into the warm sit ting room. For a few minutes Alix stood, with one foot on the chain that linked the old brass fire dogs, her el bow on th e . mantel, and her cheek resting against her arm. “No,” she whispered, almost audi bly, “no—it can’t be that I It can’t be Cherry and Peter—Oh, my Giod! Oh, “No," She Vyhispered. "No, It Can't Be T hat" my God, it has been -that, ali the time, th a t all the ^tlme—rand I never knew it—I never dreamed it I- '‘It’s Peter and Cherry! They have come to care foi each 'other they have come to care for each other,” she said to herself, her thoughts rushing and tumbling In mad confusion as she tested and tried the new fear. “It must be so. But it can’t be so!” Alix interrupted herself In terror, “for what shall we do—what shall we do! Cherry in love with Peter. But Peter is my husband—he Is my husband—”fv 9 And. In a spasm of pain she shut her eyes, ancj flung her head as if suffo cating. The beating ' of her heart frightened-her.’ “I shall be sick if I go on this way!”- she reminded her self. “And then they will know. They mustn’t ■ know. , But P eter--” she whispered suddenly.. lfEeteri who,has always been so good to ine—so gen erous to me—and it was Cherry all the tim eI ... Even those years ago, when we used to tease.him about the lady with the crinolines and.ringjets, it was she. But why didn’t he ask £er instead, of. me?” wondered Alix, and with an aching head and a frowning brow she began to .piece It all to gether. • The terrible truth rose triumphant from all her. memories. Sometimes for a second hope would flood'her with almost painful Joyr Aut. Inevitably the truth shut down upon her again; and hope died, and she realized afresh that sorrow, stronger, than before, was waiting to seize her-again. . ‘.‘Well—— I can’t stand it In here!” Alix said, suddenly. . She crossed to the door,, and opened it, and slipped noiselessly out. into the night', catch ing a coat from the rack as she passed. - The night was trap p ed In. an ocean fog, there was no moon and no stars, but the air was soft and. warm. With no goal In view, Alix cilmbed upward, walking rapidly, breathing hard, and frequently speaking aloud, as some poignant thought smote her, or stands ing still, too sick with pain, under'an unexpected rush of emotion, to move. “He would have told me about it— why didn't I let him l” ran Alix’s thoughts. “I thought of some older woman,'I don’t know why—anyway, I didn’t care so much then. B ut I care now! Peter, I care now! I can’t give you up, even to 'C herry.' It is non sense to talk of giving him up,” Alix told herself, sitting down In the inky dark, on a log against which her wild walk had suddenly brought her, “for we are all married people, and we all love each other. But ob, I am so sor ry!. I am -so sorry, Peter,” she whis pered, as if she were speaking to him. “You couldn’t help It, I know that. She Is so pretty and so sweet, Cherry -r-and she turns to you as if you were her big brother!" She got to her feet and ’went on. “W hat am I thinking about—it’s ab-' surd! Can’t people like each other, in this world, just because they happen to. be m arried! Peter would be the first to laugh at me. And Is it fair to .Cherry even to think that she would— “Oh, but it’s true!’ the honester Im pulse Interrupted, mercilessly. “It is true. W hether ItfS right or wrong, or sensible or absurd, they do 'love each other; that's what has changed them both.” And she. began to remember a hundred —a thousand—trifles, that made it all hideously clear. Words, glances, moods subtler than either, came back to her. Cherry’s confusion of late, when the question of her return to Martin was raised, her indifference to her Inheritance, her restless talk dur ing one hour of immediate departure, and during the next of an apparently- termless visit; ail these were signifi cant now. “I am desperately unhappy!” C \erry had said. And immediately after that, Alix recalled wretchedly, had come a brief arid apparently aimless talk about AlbTs rights, and her eagerness to share them with her sister: / ‘Poor Cherry!” the older sister said aloud,- standing still for a moment and pressing both hands over her hot eyes. “Poor, little' old Cherry—life hasn’t been very kind to her! She and Peter must be so sorry'-and ashamed about this! And Dad would be so sorry; of all things he wanted most that Cherry' should be happy! Perhaps,” thought Alix, “he realized that she was that sort of a nature, she must love and be loved,- or she cannot live! But why did he let-her marry Martin, and why wasn’t he here to keep me from marrying Peter? W hat a mess—mess—mess we’ve made of it all!" - .. As she used the term, she realized that Cherry had used it, too, this same evening, and fresh conviction was added to the great weight of convic tion in'her heart. “Oh, Peter—Peter—Peter!" she moaned, writhing as the cry escaped her. “Why couldn’t it have been me. why couldn’t you have loved me that way? I know I am not so .pretty as Cherry," AIix went on, resuming her restless walk, “and ^ know tbat tliose things don’t seem to mean as much to me as to most women! But, Peter,” she said softly, aloud, “no wife ever loved a man more than I love you, my dear !” She remembered some of his half-laughing, half-fretful reproaches, when he had told her that she loved him much as she loved Buck, and that, In these respects, she was no more than a healthy .child. “I may . be a child," said Alix, feeling that a, dry flame was consuming her heai't “but a child can jove! My dear—my dear— “I wish I could cry,” she said sud denly, finding herself sitting on a Jog where low oaks met the forest and the open meadows. “ But now we must face this thing sensibly. W hat Is to be done? They must not know, that I know, and. In some way we must get out of this tangle. Even If Peteir were free, Cherry would not be free,"!, she decided, “and so the only thing tb do is. to help them, until it dies aiway.” No suspicion of; the truth stabbed her, although she remembered Martin and bis strange tale of a message and wondered about., it a little, in her thoughts. To whom had Cherry been sending that telegram If not to Peter? And if to Peter, why had she not simply, telephoned? Because she had known that Peter was not In' his of fice, because she had been going to meet • him ^somewhere. But where? Well, at the boat M artin had heard her tell the boy that he must catch the boat -. - ,.": Allx did not guess the truth. But she guessed enough; to make her feel frightened and sick. She could not, suppose, that Cherry and Peter had planned to go away on th at boat to gether,, because at most her thoughts would have grasped the Idea'of one or two days’ absence only, and they had given her no warning of that. But until this instant th£ -thought of the passionate desire that , enveloped them had'riot; reached her;'‘she had Imagr’ ined. Cherry's feeling for PSter to Be something only a little stronger than her own. Now she thought of Cherry’s beauty; her fragrance and softness, the-shine in her blue eyes and the light on her corn-colored hair, and knew that life for them all, o f late, had been mined with frightful danger. .“Cherry would be dls&caced, and Martin—M artin would kill, her, if he found her out! . . . Oh, my little sister! - She would be town talk; she is so reckless, she would do anything —she would be a. public scandal, and the papers would have her pictures— Dad’s, little yellow-headed. Charity! Oh, Dad,” she said, looking up into the dark, “tell me what to do I I need you so! Won’t you somehow tell me what to do?” Silence, and darkness. But eyen In that gloom Alix could tell the. fog was lifting, and.a sudden sweep of breeze, iike'a tired breath, went over the tops of the redwoods. Steadily came the change. The dark ness, by Imperceptible degrees, lifted. “Light!” Alix whispered, awestruck. And a few moments later she added, “Dawn!” It was dawn Indeed that.w as creep ing Into the valley, and as it bright ened and deepened and warmed mo mentarily, Alix felt some of the peace I “Bucky! Did You Miss Me, Old Fellow?" and glory of it swelling In her tired heart She was still sitting .on the log, dreamily watching the expanding beauty of the new day, when there was a crashing ,in the underbrush be hind Iier1 and wild with joy, and with twigs and dried brown grasses on. his wet coat, Buck came bounding out of the forest, and leaped upon her. “Bucky!” she faltered, a3 he stoo I beside her, his quick tongue flashing ecstatically, close to her face, every splendid muscle of his body Wilggline with eager affection. “Did you miss me, old fellow? Did you come to fint' me?” She had not cried during the Ioni ( vigil of the night, when a storm ha. I raged In her heart, and had left he- weak and sick with dread. But th er» was peace now, and Allx locked her arms about the dog’s shoulders, .and laid her face against his satiny heail. and cried. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The sugar-beet industry of the Uni ted States produced more than 1,000,- 0 0 0 tons of sugar and the 106 factories, 07 of which were In operation in . 15 states, paid American farm ers more than $99,000,000 for their beets in 1920. In a comprehensive new bulletin,’ No. 995, “The Sugar Beet Industry In the United States,” the United States Department of Agriculture says that almost any fertile soil capable o f pro ducing good yields of other crops will, if properly handled, produce good su gar beets. This statement, however, is restricted by considerations of cll- mate, moisture, and topography as re lated to the question of producing' enough beets of the requisite sugar content within reasonable hauling dts: tance to m aintain a sugar-beet factory. The bulletin reviews the history of the sugar-beet industry from the first- mill, built In 1870 at Alvarado, C al; analyzes soil, climatic and topographic requirements ; and deals at length with the' necessary equipment, best meth ods of planting and cultivation; the Important relation of the sugar-beet to the live stock Industry; the manage ment of parallel and rotating crops; the labor problem; Insect and disease enemies of sugar beets; and the bust- I ness of selling beets to the sugar man- i ufacturers. “The successful 'produc- 'I tlon of sugar beets on. any farm de-'| pends to a great extent upon the tem peram ent of the farm er and upon his attitude toward the production of this crop,” says the bulletin, adding that the man who bandies cows, especially dairy cows, is more inclined to take up the growing of such an intensive crop as sugar beets and is more apt to suc ceed In this line than the grain or for age crop man. .A list of more than fifty depart- I ment publications on different phases | of the beet-sugar Industry is included j In the bulletin, which may be had free . upon application to' the Departm ent of i Agriculture, Washington, D.

Those who object to mutton (which is so popular In England) do not ob ject to the nicely roasted joint or leg of lamb' if it is properly killed and cared for. The skin should always be re moved. Do not touch the meat after handling the skin. The wool grows on the skin and the oil from the wool gives the meat the objectionable flavor. Roast Leg of Lamb.— Bub salt, pepper and onion with any sweet fat all over the meat. Place In a roasting pan and sear it well In a hot oven. Now add one-half cupful of water, one cupful of tom ato or two sliced fresh ones, one onion and six or eight peeled potatoes' around the leg of lamb.

CLEAN UP ALL GARDEN TRASH Insects and Disease Spores Live Over W inter In Stalks, Vines and ■ Other Rubbish. Much' of the success of next year’s garden depends on cleaning up the trash left from this year’s crop, says the United States Department of Agri culture. Insects- and disease spores live over the winter In stalks, vines, and stubble. Weeds and vegetable debris should be raked Into piles and burned or carried off as soon as It Is convenient to do so. 'Pieces of cab bage, .carrots, p o tato ^ ,’ and other vegetables which have been left on the ground In’ the harvest should be raked jap ogd destroyed to avoid at tracting ,lnseqts and. rabbits. The rab bits, tempted by these titbits, may re main to ’. hark the fruit trees and damage bushes. Time given to this work at a period of year when other m atters are not pressing will be well repaid In the spring and summer.

" 'Kcttwv 7 > w ^ CRATES FOR PRIZEWINNERS Proper Care ls Of Bfg Importance in ,Arranging and Handling EXibi- , tion’. Coops. (Prepared by the United Btafei Depaitment . of AgrlcuUure.) \ Not infrequently . Improperly, built and unsuitable coops have resulted In accidents and damage to the fowl in transit, or have presented the birds in such objectionable surroundings that -they have been . neither pleasing to the general spectator nor to the judge. W here fowls are shipped by express, in order to have them reach their desti nation ..in the best possible condition, they should be transported In special shipping coops, which should be sub stantially built and able to withstand rough handling. Such a coop may be made from waste lum ber salvaged from dry-goods boxes or second-hand half- inch material. Boards more than one- half inch thick should not be used, as they make the coop too heavy and the express charges excessive. The coop should be nailed together with the. supports of the slats or cover on the top, which should 'be. put on with screws or hinges and hooks, so that it may be easily opened. This is Import ant, as the top or cover must be bpened each tim e the coop Is used, and if'put on wi'th nails it is soon broken and the coop spoiled. There are standard sizes of coops which commonly are used for shipping poultry, the dimensions of these con tainers varying according to the num ber of fowl to be transported. The following dimensions should be used -In constructing the coop: F or one hen or cock, 12 inches wide, 18 inches long, and 24 inches high; for two hens or one hen and cock, 12 inches wide, 24 inches long, and 24 Inches high. In preparing for shipment, a small quanti ty of hay, straw, or dry shavings should -be placed In the bottom of the coop to. absorb moisture, and two cups or cans should’ be provided—one for feed and one for water. The cnps should be fastened securely to the side walls In opposite comers. Special exhibition coops should be used.-by poultry-club members In ex hibiting fowls at county and school fairs or other exhibitions, or by adult showmen in displaying their-champion poultry. Such coops should not be used for shipping poultry, but m ay be An Attractive Show Ring Coop Helps W onderfully in Displaying Fowls. employed to take the birds to the show, if carried .by wagon or motor car. The floor should be solid and the framework of wooden strips, 2 inches wide and 1% inches thick. The top, back and sides may be covered with lath, wire netting, or any kind of thin, .strong cloth. The front should be of 2-inch wire netting. If it is impossible to obtain netting, however, laths may be used, but the strips should be placed about 2% inches apart, to afford as much opportunity as possible to see the birds. The coop should be made In the form of a 2-foot cube, and will accommodate one m ature bird or a pair of chickens. If more than this are to be exhibited together the coop should be made larger In ” proportion to the number of fowls it is to ac commodate. Every poultry-club member or other fowl fancier, who Intends to exhibit birds, should construct one or more exhibition coops of this type, accord ing to the number of specimens he in tends to exhibit. Birds can be trained and conditioned In these coops before the exhibition, ,and after becoming accustomed to them they will appear to better advantage when being judged. Furthermore, when birds are shown In coops ot this kind tbat are uniform In size and type, not only is the ap pearance of the showroom improved, but the Individual exhibit is more at tractive. Training and exhibiting some of the best specimens of both old and yourfk birds every fall Is an interesting and Important part of boys’ poultry-club work. GRIT IS MOST ESSENTIAL Many poultry raisers ’gradual ly begin to Sffeht the importance of grit. -Lack ■ of grit means poor ; digestion and Impaired health, Regular poultry grit should be kept before the fowls in boxes or hoppers at all times In addition, a load of. gravel near the chickens’ home would .improve the health and increase the egg‘yield ph.m any a farm. a/;*Never say “Aspirin” without saying “Bayer.” WARNING!

Bion H- Butler, iu Raleigh News and Observer. Evervbody knows the old woman ffho has so many tribulations to talk about that she persists in con tinually nitroducing her doleful note in whatever company she falls. And her woes become so continu ally the subject of her talk that she seems unhappy unless she has some Iresh unhappiness to talk a- bout Is it not possible that the farmer to some extent finds pleas ure in magnifying'his sorrows and jmrenrmg his mourning? Certainly aot all iarmers do, but just as sure- Ivsome are bom to a lugubrious time. ' From what can be gathered th6 farm was m harder luck last year in the eastern section of the State than in other sections. F rom similar sources of information the east this fall is finding a good market for its tobacco and cotton, including the ootton carried over from last year, and more or less of recovery must be 111 evideuce. ProDably the farmer of North Carolina is better off than the wage-earner of much of the North and while that does not help either one, it shows that the Carolina farm did not hit the ■bottom of financial depression. As a fact it looks as if the farnier is pulling out of the low place he be landed m a year ago, and that bis prospects are right good if he ■latches the corners and also watch es his dollars. “The lack of thrift is one of the troubles on the farm ,” said a man who is so familiar with farm.life.as Col. J. R. Young, formerly insur ance commissioner and now at the head of one of the financial institu tions of Raleigh and a factor in se curing for the farm a share in the disposal of North Caro ina by the government influences. CpUYoung Ldevoting much of his energy to helping the farmer .to obtain credit for his neccessary operation and in doing this he sees all phases of the problem, and he has sound ideas of how the lack ot farm capitalization uiaj be overcome One scheme tlrfit ho has iu mind and is very enthusi ustic over is one that would create ui the country districts a modified building and loan association. This 1S already w orked out on a'moderate Kale in some places in the State, and is getting good results. Col. Ioung says the building .and loan associations in the towns and cities °f the country are responsible for a home building movement through-- 0Ut the United States that has re sulted in putting thousands of farhi- besin homes of their own and for- Wpng those families by means of 11 system of saving and acCuniula- JJtui w Inch enabled them to become °uie owners when nothing else coUld accomplish - that end. He s|toivs how the same principal can applied to rural Sections, and by JJs application the John Smithd can "y small farms, build houses, im- Pr°ve places they already have, aUd become proprietors, or more r|fty ow uers, if they are already Pfoprietors. L°l. Aonng’s plan is that tlje P00Pleofany rural community shall aaSociate together, much as the Slfa^e m t^le town d°- and take jT^iviu an organizatiou^ that will th 6 St0Qk aac^ maY Be paid for at e Pateofsay a dollar a- month. s 1 ie farnier gets his income in is ti.C W ^0Ur ^aii.fnonfBs, the plan , at the year’s payments should . made m the coming months of ^eJear, three or four dollars a Pa?11 for a sBort period', and no during the dull months of IUg0^ e.!. ^le watched the work- bo tm, Cf plan Be says, it would be nble to have a thousand shar- MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY,. DECEMBER 14, 1921. subscribed for in almost any community, and in many places two or three thousand shares could be placed. But assume that a thous and shares are scattered around a- mong the farmers, the young folks, storekeepers, and even tl^e folks in town, for the lawyer, the merchant, the banker, the barber and every body will be willing to .take some stock in a profitable enterprise. W ith a thousand shares paving a dollar a, month $12,000 would be available in the course of the year toijend tov the farmer who wants-to improve his land or to improve Hs house or build a new one. "The bot rower is a member of the organi zation, and he'pays-off his loan in Ehe same manner that the monthly dues are paid, so that his loan runs over a period of years, and hrgradu- ally being wiped out, and with no sudden calls for money, and no danger of foreclosure if any reason able effort, is made to take care of it. Col. Young says where this plan has been established it is having two results. One is the use of local capital for the community needs, which is a big thing, for it has a decided stim ulus toward puttiug the community on its own resour ces and when a community begins to find that it can finance itself, to even a modest extent, it- has be come independent of those sources of money that are liable to create panic by calling for the money when to pay is difficult. The community that has become self-dependent financially is a hard one to affect by any financial storm. But an other effect is the habit o f-Mhfift. that these associations teach..- The colonel says the vast - bulk of the people pay too little attention to the small money. A dollaroraqU arter or a dime has no apparent value be- cause it wilt- not buy much. But he argues that if we can inaugurate a scheme that will gather the dollars together in a large unit and put them to work developing the rural neighborhood we will have entered on a fine work of making rural North Carolina a prosperous and thrifty and delightful corner of this big round earth and that thrifty habits and economy once.establish-, ed, country life will be far easier and agreeable,than it is now. It is astonishing where the asso ciations have been organized, to learn how touch money iu small a-, mounts comes in from all directions and thus becomes available for building and rural improvement. The town folks like to encourage such movement, because it gives a good chance for the investment of a little money on a profitable basis, and it encourages thrift among the people, and it also puts the sur rounding country on a much safer financial standing. Then when the stock in half a dozen years matures and the investors are paid off they find themselves with a nice sum ac cumulated from the savings of a small amount each year for 6 years, and there is the beginning of some futher invesment or a sum to loan on a bigger scale, and prospertiy is given another boost. Tnterested communities should get in touch with Col J^R . Young, .at Raleigh. And by the same token, every com munity in the State should beinter- seted. • ' i .

NUMBER 23 Who Runs The Davie Schools? The Catawba News-Enterprise recently carried an editorial which is strictly in line with the position, of the minority party in the state with reference to the management of the Public Schools. The Editor of the News-Enter prise was formerly State Superin tendent of Public Instruction, and is therefore qualified to speak in telligently of the needs of the school system, and he is to be commended for his courage in condemning an autocratic systeur inaugurated by the political machine within his own party. Here is what he says: ‘“ Recently we saw a man in New ton trying to find out what they were paying a certain school teach er in his district. He was told that her pay would be the amount nam ed by tne Raleigh folks. “ No matter whether a teacher is worth fifty cents or fifty or a huu- dred dollars—the folks at home and the local school committee have no more to say as to what they shall pay their teachers than the man in the moon. “Does any one believe that the people of N orth Carolina are al ways going to stand for this sort of autocracy in the management of their schools. This is the very sort of thing that our boys gave their lives to destroy in Germany. Au tocracy in North Carolina is as abominable as it is in Germany or anywhere else. “ It is all right to have State Su pervision and-State help for public school work,- but for a few so-called eduGators=-tp; sit up- in- Raleigh -.'and say what every teacher in North Carolina is worth or what they shall receivo for teaching is simply one of the absurdest absurdities. “ We need State certificates for the high school teache/s, we need State certificates for the first grade teachers—but-beyond this the State should keep its hands of the- school work in the counties—and it should be left teethe counties . to say what they shall pay any and every teacher - employed in the county. "W e have heard of some young people receiving double the salary in this county , than older teachers, who have forgotten more than these youngsters will ever know about teaching—and yet this is done at Raleigh by people who know noth ing of the ability of the teachers except what they see on paper. !‘If the county superintendent has not the ability to know what the teachers in his county are worth in the respective district—then he should give up his job and let some one have it who dpes know. The Farmers' Union' did well in going on record for a six months school term to be administered by the counties without interference from the State. “ This onejilank that the Farm ers’ Union assembled will prove -to be a very popular one. “ If left to the popular vote 'in Catawba county to bring the schools back to the county to be managed by our own , people—there would not be votes enough against it to make a baker’s dozen. “ If som e of th e alleged educa to rs w ant to know ju st how . popu lar these m ethods are— all th ey w ill have to do is to give th e folks one chance to express them selves— th eir plans would, look like th irty cents after su ch ^n - eiectio n .” ■ , Wonder , what our Democrauc friends in ■ Davie county think of this Democratic editor’s-views. -If they want-’ to express themselves the columns of The Record is open at all times. The school question is the biggest thing before the peo ple of N orth Carolina todayV “ You can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” but you can an old widow er, says, an exchange, The Friendless Man. « Gfie of the. very last editorials writfen by the late B. C. Ashcraft follows. It was; found in a drawer of his.desk, and doubtless he intend ed using it the week he was strick en. - “‘A m a n m ay be w ithout m oney, he m ay n o t know w here his n ex t m ealjjs to com e from , his clothii g m ay b e W orn and patched, yet if lie has friends h e will go dow n the street/w ith a sm ile on his face "and a 'song !on his lips. “ Aynan may losehishealth was ting disease may lay him low and the skeleton hand of death may shake his hour glass in his face yet if friends gather about his couch he will rejoice and be glad and lie unafraid. “ But let a man believe that he has no friends... Let him become convinced that in all the world there is fob him no friendly heart, no handbf sympathy and love, life has no pleasure for him no matter what,, his fihancial condition or the state of his health. The thought is more frouglit with gloom and despair than was ever any other emanatioij of human brain, ’I have no friend in alhthe. wide world,’ has caused the suicide pistol to crack many a time, has often caused' the cup of poison to be pressed with trembling hand to the iip, has caused may a child ..of despondency to leap from bridge or shore into the cold waters of forgetfulness. “ j|ak e a man believe that he has no friends, that for him there is no Irieudly hand and you enshound his spui -.in . despair.. .

A Busy Business. being in ' the newspaper business means being busy. The work is never over within a newspaper office The news is never all in, the type is never all delivered before new news has to be handled,! new types have to be set, new mails, dispatched. When a person has a job in a newspaper office he need never be unemployed He can work his silly self to death if he half wants to. Moreover, the numter of people-employed in a -newspaper office, great or small, is limited by the earning capacity of the establishment. There is so much for everybody to do that whenever a little profits appears on the balance sheet new names appear on the pay roll.

When a school teacher injects politics into the school room and re flects on the character of the Presi dent or other higher officials, he or she is not fit to teach children. The good people of Davie county are not going to let a foreigner and a man who is not a citizen of the county tell them how to vote and what to vote for. The good people of the county are not fools, they have common sense and can run their affairs without the assistance of strangers.. Engineer Crawley and his corpse of surveyors are at work on the new survey for the new concrete road that is to be built from Dutch man creek to the overhead bridge below Mocksville. We are all hop ing that the contract will be let for this road early in the spring and that within the next year it will be nearing completion. Cooleemee has a new postmaster in the person of Noah J. Grimes Mr.Grimes is a ve; eran oi the World W ar, and is one ot ..ie finest young men in Davie county. He has hundreds of friends i'i LollIi great parties who are glad that he has been appointed postmaster. The Record wishes him well in his new position. From what we can learn it will only be a short while until Mocks ville will install a first-class electricft lighting plant. T hisissom ething that the town has long needed, and we believe that it will be one of the best investments that the town fath en. have ever made. Let the good work go on. W e have used flash lights to get about over the streets long enough. Some of the Mocksville merch ants believe in advertising and help iag to build up the town by getting the people of the surrounding coun try to come here and do their trad ing, while others seem t i fetl that they can get along whether the town grows or dies. The Record appreciates the business given it by the business men of the town and county. While the greater part of our business and money comes from outside the county and state, most of'it is spent right, here at home. One of the leading stores in the town has paid us 40 cents for adver tising during the past year, while four or five other stores have not spent a penny with us. We , are sorry that some of our good citizens are sleeping while great opportuni ties are knocking at the door. Every business house, garage, factory, bank, and business man should stand by his local paper, and give it the support it deserves. No other agency does more for the upbuild ing of the town and county than the newspaper. The Record is not asking for special favors—all it wants is a square deal. Burglar Made His Escape. Sunday evening about seven o’clock an unknown person, thought to have been a negro, en tered the home of Harley, Walker, in North Mocksville. .

She looked up, and nodded at Cherry composedly. Cherry always kissed her sister In the -morning but she did not today. She felt, troubled and ashamed, and instinctively avoid ed the little caress. “No men?'” she asked, sharing her grapefruit with her mall. “Peter had to go to San Rafael with Mr. Thomas In his car, to do some thing about the case," Alix; explained. “I drove them, down, and at the last minute M artin decided to igo. So I marketed, and got the mail, and came back, and the understanding is that we are to meet them at. the S t Fran cis for dinner, a t six,. and. go. to the Orpheum.” . *' “Is it almost ten?” .. Cherry said sleepily, gazing .In -surprise, at the clock that was visible through the open door. “Pm . terribly . asham ed! And when did you.-, get up, and silently make 'your bed,- and hang up your things?” -.-. _. “Oh, early!” AlIx answered^...non committally. “I had a bath, and this' is my second breakfast!”.-: ■ - Cherry, who was reading a letter, made some inarticulate sound that made .Alix look at her in quick con cern. • “Cherry, w hat Is It?” she.exclaimed. For answer Cherry tossed her the letter, written on “a thick sheet of lav ender paper, which diffused a strong Odor of scent. “Read that I” she said, briefly. Fearfully, Alix picked up the per-, fumed sheet, and read, In a coarse and sprawling, yet unmistakably feminine handwriting, the following words: “Dear Mrs. Lloyd: Perhaps you would not feel so -pleased with your- helf if you knew the real 'reason why your husband left Red Creek? It was because of a quarrel he had with H at ty Woods. ' “It you don’t.believe It you had b e t ter ask him about some of the parties he had with Joe King’s crowd, and where they were, on the night of Aug. 28, and if he knows anybody named H atty Woods, and see what he says. Ask him if he ever heard of Bopps’ hotel and when he was in Sacramento la s t * If he denies It, you can show him this letter.” There was no signature. Alix, who had read it first with a bewildered and suspicious look, read it again, and flushed deeply, at the sordid shame of-it. She laid it down and looked In stunned conviction at her sister/ Cherry, who was breathing hard, raised her head, rested her chin on her hands, elbows on the table, and stared at Alix defiantly. "There!” she said, almost_with tri umph. “There! Now, is th a t^o easy? Now, am I to just -smile and "agree to say ‘Certainly, Martin,’ 1Of course, Martin, dear!’ Now you see—now you see! Now, am I to bear that,” she rushed on, her words suddenly violent “And go on with him—as his wife— when a common woman like that—” “Cherry, dear!’ Allx said, distress- edly. “Ah. well, you can’t realize it; no body but the woman to whom it hap pens can!” Cherry interrupted her, covering her face with her hands. "But let him say w hat he pleases now,” she added, passionately, “let him do what he pleases—I’ll follow my own course from today on!” Alix, watching her fearfully, was amazed a t the change in her, Cher-, ry’s eyes were blazing, her cheeks jiale. H er voice was dry and feverish,- and there was a sort of frenzy in her manner that Allx had never seen be fore. To bring sunny little Cherry to this—to change the radiant, innocent child that had been Cherry into this bitter an d . disillusioned woman—Allx felt as if-the whole world were going mad, and as If life would never be sane and serene again for any one of them. - “Cherry, do you believe It? she asked.. Cherry, roused from a moment of brooding silence, shrugged her shoul ders impatiently. “Of course I believe It I” she an swered. “But, darling, we don’t even know who wrote It. We have only this wom an’s word for It—"“Oh, look a t It—look at it, Allx I” Clierry burst forth. “Do decent men have letters like that sent to their wives? Is It probable that a-good man would do anything to. rouse some busybody woman to writs’ such a let ter about him?” “Well, but who is she, and w hat do you suppose she wrote it for?” Allx wondered. .............. . “Oh. I don’Jt know,. She got mad at him, perhaps. Or perhaps she Is a i»h»wipion of this rWoods woman. They bad som e, quarrel—how ..do. I know.? But you can see that she is mad, and this is the w ay she gets even I” ., I “Cherry, a t .least* do ISartIn the justice to -ask him about' It!” Alix pleaded. ' . -- r- -.. H er sister seemed not to hear her. The misery in her beautiful- eyes made- Alix1S heart sink. • ~~ "And that,” Cherry said in a whis per, Wis my husband !” She paused, staring down at the table, one hand supporting^ her fore head, the other wandering idly among the breakfast things; H er look was sbmber and far away. Alix, standing, watched her distressedly, through a ■long minute of silence. “Well I” Cherry said lifelessly, look ing up at her sister with dulled eyes. “W hat now? It’s still ‘for better or worse,’ I suppose?” ■ ; AIix sat down, and for a moment covered her face with a-" tight-pressed hahd. When she took it. away there was new serenity and resolution In her tired'face. “No,” she skid, with a- great sigh, “I think-perhaps' you’re rlg h tl He hasn’t —he should have no claim on you now!” . .. “Alix,” Cherry demanded, “would you forgive1 him?” “P erhaps1 I wouldn’t,” AUx said, afterthought “Perhaps you ' wouldn’t!” jCherpy echoed, incredulously. “Well, I’m hot very good,” Alix said, hesitatingly. “B ut a vow is a vow, you know. If it was limited, then my— iny fulfillment of it would be limited, I suppose.' Of course,” she added, honestly, ‘Tm talking for myself only!” “And you would quietly forgive and forget!” demanded the little sister, In bitter scorn. . . “I say I hope I wculd I” Alix cor rected heir. “Even l f this is true”—She added, with a glance at the lavender letter—“still; I suppose, the rule of for giving seventy times seven times—” Cherry interrupted her with a burst of bitter and rebellious weeping.- “Oh, my God, what shall I do!’ she -sobbed, with her bright head dropped on her arm. “Don’t cry, Cherry, Cherry I” Alix said, her - own ' - tears brimming ' over. Sbd came to kneel beside her sister, and they locked their arm s about each other, and their wet cheeks touched. “Don’t" cry, dear I’ she said, tenderly. “It’ll all come straight, somehow, and. we’ll wonder why we took it so h ard! Now listen to me, Sis,” .as. soon as Cherry" had somewhat regained her composure. “We'U ascertain about this letter; that’p.only fair. If Martin denies it—” “Of course he’ll - deny- It I”'-Cherry Interrupted, from the bitter knowledge she had of him. Alix again felt daunted for a second by the sheer ugliness and sordidness of the matter, but she returned to the charge bravely. “Suppose we get Peter to ask him,” she suggested suddenly. “Peter has a wonderful way of getting the truth out of people!” . Poor Cherry, the very mention of his name makes her wince, Alix thought,, watching her sister sorrowfully. ‘-‘If Martin con convince Peter that it .Is not true, then that makes all the difference In the world,” she added, aloud. “Then you tell M artin frankly that yon have the old house ready to live in, and you want to live there. He—’’ ■ “He’ll never agree to that!” Cherry said, shaking her head... “But if this' is true?” she asked, again Indicating the letter. “Then tell him that unless he agrees -absolutely to a separation,” Alix-said, “that you will get a divorce!" “And live here, alone, under that sort of a cloud?” Cherry said, with watering eyes. "Oh, well I” she said, rising, and going toward the door. “It’s horrible— horrible — horrible — whatever I do I W hat Is your idea- that we should dine, and go to the Orpbenm tonight as .If nothing had happened, and let all this wait until you can ask Peter to- cross-examine M artin?” - _ “I wonder If M artin would tell me? Why couldn’t I pretend that I opened that letter by mlBtake and : frighten him into admitting it, if It’s true?” Alix said. “You-could,” Cherry admitted, life lessly. “But you may be sure it Is true enough I” she added. "Then leave it to me!” Alix said. “And don’t feel too sad, Cherry. You’re young, and life may take a turn that changes everything for you. You always have Peter—Peter and me, back of you I” “Alix, you’re the "best sister a girl ever had I” Cherry said, passionately, putting her hand on Alix1S shoulder. “I wish I were as big as you are! And he's made me fo 'wretched," whis pered Cherry, with trembling lips, “ that sometimes I’ve.been sick of life!

There is a church.in La Guaira, Ven ezuela, which is *said to have been erected with the proceeds of fines im posed upon the people of the parish who profaned their conversation with the word “caramba”—the common oath among all classes, of people—or with stronger expressions. The church is therefore called ‘“La Iglesia de la Sanctisslma Caramba.” The word caramba is meaningless, bnt it Is constantly in the mouths of all people, without, regard to sex or condition, and is not usually considered reprehensible.- But now and.then a pious priest will be found Who prohib its its use-among-the-Sheep-and lambs of his flock. A story is told of three pious friars who were traveling a hot and dusty road one day, driving a donkey which bore their luggage.

Washlngfon-T-Potiiting tocontinuing deficits in his department, Postm aster General Hays, in his first annual re port' to the President; declared ■ that “It the present gauge of expenditures shall cbntinue there should be such a readjustm ent of postage rates as will, together with the effects of'increasing volume of business, produce sufficient revenue approximately to m eet it:” Mr. Hays makes no specific recom mendations as to the suggested ad- Justments, and declares emphatically that "if it were a question between the best practical service on the one hand, and a poorer service with reve nue meeting cost, on tl e other hand, decision should be resolved in favor of rendering the service.” He adds that the departm ent should not be conducted for-a profit, but at a loss. Revenues of the Postal Service for the fiscal year ended last June, Mr. Hays says, totalled $463,491,274, an increase of $26,341,062 over the re ceipts of the preceding fiscal year. •Balanced against this were audited ex penditures of $620,993, 673 with the total audited deficiency a t $157,517,- 638. The m aterial increase in-'the-defici ency over that for 1920, Mr. Hays states, is due to large increases of ex penditures in two principal item s without any corresponding increase in the revenues. The two principal items are $76,130,301 for increased compen sation to. railroads on the basis of an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission, retroactive to November I, 1916, and $41,855,000.for added com pensation allowed postal employes by Congress. Approving this added compensation, the Postm aster General tells the Pres ident that "the salaries provided by law for those in the departm ent are too low to compensate those who con tinue in the service, or-to attract-and- hold others of the ability required the conduct of such an. institution.” Pointing to foe inconsistencies in the salaries of employes in the departm ent proper and those who serve in the field.

REQUESir O F THE BW TISH PREMIER, NEW YORK'S EX* foG pyER N O R A eTED . Albany. N. Y .- It w as m y good for tune to be honored by Lloyd George, when -1 w as in London last . May, to extend to Mr. De V alera the invitation to come to London and discuss a set tlem ent of foe IrU h m eetings. T hat invitation led to foe m eetings between the prim e m inister of England and president De V alera whidh have brought about this settlem ent. All the details of my conference w ith idoyd George I am not at'-liberty to divulge. As long as the proposed settlem ent of the Irish question is satisfactory to the leaders In Ireland, it w ill be sat isfactory to the Irish the world over; I believe any settlem ent proposed by- GoUins, Griffith and their-fellow com m issioners will be greeted w ith ac claim everywhere. ^ My work on foe m atter started in Rome In a m eeting w ith Bishop Man- nix, of A ustralia, and ofoers. Bishop M annix and I also were together in London and worked -together there. Archbishop Hayes, of New York, did great-w ork for the cause in-Rome.- Some day. I will w rite the. details of the mission, but now is not the time. But this will say: Through m e Llyod George invited De V alera to come to London and try to settle th e Irish question’ w ithout exacting prom ises or m aking condi tions. H e said th at if Mr. De Valera would accep? the invitation on these term s, the Irish question could be set tled, not in one m eeting, but—In series of m eetings. Mr. De V alera ac cepted' and it turned out th at Llyod George w as right. The prim e m inister held th at a ser ries of conferences would lead to settlem ent w ithout Ireland going out ofr the B ritish em pire and "yet taking its plaCe among the nations of - the world. W hen I . told Bishop M annix the term s of U oyd Georgeis offer and the invitation he could hardly believe his rs. H e said that if it had only been m ade two years sooner the question could have been quickly settled. Now it would take m ore tim e, but he be lieved th at under fair discussion, with a reasonable spirit of give and take and a m utual desire to reach a solu tion, foe proposed term s would bring about an end to the age-old fight be tw een Ireland and England.

THE SCHOOL HERO CHANGES No Longer Does the Freshman Win Football Games Single Handed— Style Improved. There Ims been a noticeable slump In the demand by boys at libraries for the school story, with the hero who always won .the big football game, and who knocked the home run with three ou bases when, as a substitute player, he brought the baseball hon ors to TushtushvilIe prep school'. Boys who have tried to go out and win football games single handed and who have sought an opportunity to make home runs at crucial moments in school baseball series, have found oat what rot has been handed them in fiction. They know that boys sim ply don’t do such things—not as "frosh," anyway. The school hero still maintains, but he is traveling a t a slower pace. Prexy does not kowtow to, the gifted youth as suddenly as In the heyday of such fiction.

THE CRADLE-HOOKING FO R M O F W O R S H IP A T C H R IST . M AS IN G ERM A N Y . Resulted- In- the Church Later Gaining Much Stronger Hold on the People. HROUGHOUT Germany, and also Ifly Italy and France there has been - for some- time a widespread .use of the -‘crib.’’ It is now universally diffused In the Roman Church. Cribs are the delight of children'who through the season of Ohristmas and - Epiph any wander into the' churches at all times of the day to gaze wide eyed on the lifelike scene and offer a prayer to their “Little Brother,” as they call the Christ child. The use of the “crib,” however, is by no means confined to churches; It is common In many, homes both Catholic and Protestant There grew up In- Germany, about the Fourteenth century, the ex tremely popular Christmas custom of cradle-rocking, a response tp the, peo ple’s need of a lifelike and homely presentation of Christianity. The crib became a cradle that could be rocked odd the worshipers were thus able to express In physical action their devo tion to the new-born babe.' I h e cradle- rocking seems to have been done at first by the priests, who impersonated the Ylrgin and St. Joseph an d sang a du et The people and the choir took part In the singing. In tlme'-danolng, which was a natural accompaniment to festive song to the early Germans, beeame common around- the cradle. Eventually the people were allowed to rpck the cradle with their own hands. It was by appeals like this to the homely Instincts of the people that the church was able to gain a real hold over them, so that during the Fif teenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries Christieinity became a genu inely popular religion In Germany. Br. Andred Tffle, a well-known Christmas historian, In an article on Christmas In Germany, makes a statem ent that is .most interesting. “ In the dancing and Jubilation around the cradle,” he writes, “ the religion of the cross, however , much It m ight hr Its inm ost character be op posed to the nature of "the Gftman people . . . w as felt no longer as something alien, it bad become nat uralized- but had lost In the process its very core. The preparation for a life after death which was its Altfia and Omega, had passed, lnto the back ground.

Some D etailsofT his Proposed Change in SeiIing Tobacco.i ^esi year will see a great change in the system of marketing tobacco here am', all over N orth Carolina South Carolina and Virginia, a protniiieut Forsyth county .farmer nho - working in the interest ot the Noitli Carolina Tobacco Grow ers' Vssociation, said yesterday. There will be at least one large « erehouse here where the staple will he sold direct from grower to manu facturer, he said. The warehouse mil be more in the Dature of a mar- het according to him, than an ac tual w irehouse, but storage loom will be provided when necessary. When the organization of the as sociation was started a goal of mem-, berslnps was set which had to be attained in order for the association to function. This goal comprised a number to that of the producers of half the tobacco crop in each of the three States. It has already qeeu achieved id "all three. Vir ginia and South Carolina having secured their required memberships before North Carolina, according to the records of the association. As \ et Forsyth county farmers have not joined the organization with the readiness of counties of the ot about one-third of the crop in this county have joined. More are coming in. Luder the co-operative plan the tobacco will be hauled in to a mar ket, t\ here it will be weighed, grad-, ed assembled according to grade and packed in hogsheads. A repre sentative of the association, and one of the manufacturers ' will have charge of this. By the plan the tor bacco will be stored if necessary but it is not thought that this will be the case, as a ready m arket is expected just as under the present system. The representative of the asso ciation and those of the manufac turer will decide the price to be paid for each grade. Some difficulty is looked for here in agreeing upon the worth of grades. The farmer said however, that the association be lieves this difficulty in case it does appear, will be overcome and that the fixing of prices will be an easy and equitable matter when the plan has bee:i given time to function. There may be cases, the farmer said, when guarantees to the.grow ths will be necessary. It is the plan to make them he said, in such cases. Hut the expectation is that tlje sys tem will operate with such satisfac tion to both producer and manufac turer that no tobacco will be held for higher prices and no guarantees v\ ill be needed. Some m anufactur ers, according to this informant, pre fer the proposed system to the oue m use. It is a contention of promoters of the association that it will be the means of a considerable saving to the fanner as well as the manu facturer. They say th a . the present method of marketing is responsible for what they reckon to be a loss of 8 per cent of the total value of '-he tobacco. The average farmer reCeives that much legs for his load than he would under perfect mar keting conditions, they say. -They heleive a certain amount of waste 111 handling could be avoided by fltIoption of their plan and that this alohe ,vybuld in sum amount to a SfeUt saving, especially to the man ufacturer. Moreover time will be sUVed by the grower in marketing Jt ts claimed. He will bring t he to bacco to town, sell lit without any f°ss of time at market, the advo cates of the system say: Some of Ijle farmers are already asking What are we going to do when we have no warehouse to hang around waJbng to sell?” - ■ This year’s crop in the burley ■ '-MOCKJjynXE, NOETH CAROLINA^EDNESDAY,:DE,CE{tTBE?-21, 1021,NUMBER 24 be sold under the co-operative system, representatives of the asso ciation in the light leaf belt say. In Tennessee," Kentucky and Ohio the farmers have organized and will market their crops beginning with the opening of the season next year Manufacturers in this section have been notified of the action, repre sentatives of the North Carolinaas- sociation say, and were told that-it would be uunessary to send as many buyers this season. The bur ley belt association will be affiliated with that in ' the light leaf belt. Those who are members, however, will be required to deliver all they to the association for sale by its methods. No specific quantity will be required of any member.. The association plans to organize warehousing corporation in commu nities where they are desired. Re quests from at least 100 members for a particular warehouse corpora tion will be required" before it is or ganized. In such corporation, the common stock, under the plan of the association, will exceed the prefer red stpck and will be sol d only to members of the association. It is to be sold at par, with each member limited to $100 worth. Thevoting power of the corporation will be held by holders of such stock. Pre ferred stock will be sold to any buy er. . It was required by the association' that the growers of at least half the crops in the three states should become members by the first of Jan uary', 1922-for the association to be come operative.

Good books have done more to encourage the sweet civilities of life create new ideals, develop the charity of nations and preserve the sanctity of human relationships than any other agency In human history. Cicero said a room without a books was like a baby without a soul. Wise men Have taught that a home without books is a home without a soul. There need not be many books. But there must be some good books in any’good home. A man’s library is an index to his character. Read ing good books preserves, streng thens, and invigorates the soul. - In great books his the soul of the past and the'present. The greast- est spirit of this earth have always been and will be influenced by good books. They are like a heavenly medipine to humanity. "They cheer us up with true friendship which never deceived- nor deserted sor row.” They teach fortitude in the days of trial, being strength in the home of weakness and hope in the hour of despair. All good books are useful, but the greatest of these is the Bible. O that parents would read if and teach it to their child ren ! Then we would see education that is worth while and ourswpuld be a nation that need never be ash amed or.afraid.—Selected.

One wild ai ways*‘says what he thinks,” soon h a s . decent people thinking a,lot about him that they don’t dare say. Answer to Mr. Whitley. Ilear Editor:—I noticed with in terest an article in The Record of Nov. 23. entitled “'Information Want-' ed” aud as Tam a n re the" readers would like to have both sides of the question I would like to submit a few facts together with bible proof to, show that the Sabbath was not changed by ChrislP Christcame to. save from sin. Matt.'. 1:21 sin is the transgression of "God’s law. I John 3:4, Therefore Christ' came to save men from transgressing God’s'law and from eternal death which results from such transgres-j sion Rom, 6:23 Christ said, “Thipk not I am come to destroy the law, I am not come to destroy but to fulfill answer by obedience"—Webster” Matt 5:17. So instead of Christ com-; ing to change God’s law He came to obey it and to teach others to do so John 12:50, Matt, 5:19. Satan fell from his exalted position recovering cherubin by rebelling against God’s' law. Think you that our savior took sides with the Devil in this rebellion, by setting aside God’s law? No! Christ said, “I came not to do mine: own will but .the will of him that sent me.” John 6:38. The prophet Daniel tell of a power- which should think to change^ “the. times and the law” of the 'Most High. Dan 7:25 A. R. V. Of this power he also says in the same verse - “ He shall speak great words against! the Most High and shall wear out [the saints of the Most High.” Think you that this was our humble Savior? No! who then? Search the pages of history for a power, which was worn out, by persecution, the saints of God and which claims to have changed the times and laws of the Most "High: You will search in vain for any power which fiulfills these predictions ex cept the Catholic Church. Of this power history-says: ‘-Nocomputa don can reach the number who have been-put to death on account of their opposing the corruption of the Catholic 6hurch, A million of poor- Waldenses perished in France. Nine hundred thousand orthodox Chris tians were put to death in" less than thirty years after the. institution of the order of the Jesuits. .The in quisition destroyed 150,000 within thirty years. These are but a few specimens of those which history has recorded —"Scotts Church History. Concerning the change of the Sab bath, I have a letter from the late Cardinal Gibbs under date of March 27,1916 in which-he says, “ A council of Laodicea (Cathnlic) in 372 provid ed that Sunday be the recognized day of rest and devotion.” "The Catho lie Church over a thousand years be fore the existence, of Protestant, by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday.” The Catholic Mirror (Cardinal Gib bon’s official organ) Sept. 23.1893.- Mr. Whitley says, "The man does not live who can phow where “any of the Apostles ever taught the nations to keep the Jewish Sabbath,” which is true because the term ‘ Jewish Sabbath” is not found in the Bible The Sabbath of the Bible is "The Sabbath of Lord thv God” and was- made at creation, over two thous and years before 'there was a Jew. Mr. Whitley also says in ' his article that the Sabbath was given the jews to remember their deliver ance from Egypt. God said that was a reason why they should keep His Sabbath but He says we should keep the Sabbath to remember his wonder ful works of-creation. Ex. 20:811. •The Passover was given to remember the deliverance from Egypt. As long as it remains a fact that God created the world in six davs and rested on the seventh, just so long will the reason for keeping the Sabbath re main. Mr. Whitley also says That God neve)p8§nmanded the' Gentilee to keep the:-' Sabbath. ' He should read the Sabbath command. Strang er is-simply another term for Gentile Also Wa. 56:3 7 He also quotes, “ We are not under the law blit under grace,” But Paul says, “Shall we then make void the thrmfaith? Cod forbid: yeaTwe establish the law.” Rom. 331- He aIsoquotes the text. Which says the handwriting of or dinances nailed to the cross. “How could he think that this applies to God’s law? . ThetenCommandments sdys nothing of ordinances. He over looks the facts that Moses’ law and! Gjjd’s law are two'entirely separate la(ws. See Dan 9:10 11. God’s law Was" written bv God Himself on tab les of stone (Ex! 24:12, 32:i5, 16) and Moses’ law was .written by Mns- -es in a book Lev. 26:46, Dour. 31:9, 24 apd was the handwritting of or- dinanances and ceremonies. Lev. 1:1 Jo 26:34 which pointed forward to Christ and ended at the cross. - G icTs law which can never he changed'Pa. 111:7,8 and Matt. 5:18 commands us to keep the weekly seventh day Sabbath Moses’ law, which ended at the cross, commanded -the observance of certain vearly Sab bath. Lev. 23:24 35 39. It is these Sabbath also which are mentioned in Hoses 2:11 which is quoted by Mr. Whitley. This is plainly seen by tl e ’context / Mr. Whitley tells us that Chrisf changed the day of worship from .the seventh to the first day at his [ddath. If this be true why did Christ’s followers, after His death, (rest On the Sabbath day” according jjjn the commandment.” Luke 23:56. JWby did Jesus, in fortelling the des truction of Jerusalem, which took -place A. D. 70, tell. His diciples to pray that they would not have to flee from. Jerusrlem op the Sabbath [day Luke 21:20 with Matt. 24:20. Also, why did , Haul Bhlieve and teach all these things which are writ- "ten in the law and in the prophets," Acts 24:14 and why was it his custom 11 holdm jetings on the Sabbath Acts 17:2 and why did he say, "There re tnainejh' therefore a keeping of a SabbdJh to the people of God ” Yferjjj^n' Heb 4:8, 9. True Paul held ' ing once on. the first day c.f ?ek but he held meetings every 18;4. True also that jew pffiftifeB broke bread on the first ;-tbe'Y(k_btok e bread daily. Acts 2:46." •' - Mr. Whitley tells us the Bible says not to forsake th e. assembling of ourselves together on the firstday of the week. Read the text Heb. 10:25 and see if it says first day. Altho man has sought to change God’s law, "AU his commandments are sure. They stand fast forever and forever.” Pb. 111:7,8. Hislaw is as enduring as heaven and earth. M att. 5:17,18. God never changes Mai. 3:6. Then how could Bis' law be changed? And why shouldit bechanged when it is "truth and righteousness: Pa 119:- 142,172 and hold and just and good,” Rom. 7:12 and obeying of which comprises the “ whole duty of man.” Eccl 12:13 If thou will enter into life keep the commandments” M a tt, 19:17; Rev. 22:14 The Sabbath will- be kept in the new earth.

And, Io1 the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of th ; Lord slicne round about them: and they were sore afraid. Aud the angel said unto them. Fear not: -for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.. For unto you is born this day in the city of^David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a man ger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multiude of the heaven ly host praising God, and saying. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even into Bethlehem, and see these things which is come to p;.s which the Lord has n aie ki, \vn unto USj, And tliey eanie v.i..i haste, and found Mary,.and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was to.d them concerning tin i-child. And all they that heard it wond ered at those tilings which were told them by the shepherds But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the si e.Jierds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.— Luke, 2-8:20. NO PAPER NEXT WEEK. The Record will not be issued next Wednesday, Dec. 28th . The editor and his readers need to rest for a week after laboring for the past 51 weeks without any let-up. We have done the best we could to give our subscribers a clean, newsy paper at a reasonable price: How .well we have succeeded' is left to the readers. We have made mauy mistakes during the past twelve months, and have said many things that should have been left unsaid, but we can only resolve that in the future we will do our best fo profit by our former shortcom mgs. We wish to thank all those who have assisted us in "any way during the past year—the merch ants and business men who have advertised with us and given us a share of their printing; our subscribers throughout the country who have been so faithful and true; our correspondents in various sec tions of the county who have so nobly aided us in giving our Teaders in this and other counties, states and countries the ndws from their old home county. W ithout the help of all these good people The Recprd would have been a failure We will strive to merit the contin ued patronage of the citizens of this section, and trust that they will continue to stand by us. If noth ing prevents Tbe Record will make its appearance again on Wednes day, Jan. 4 ,1922. Odr friends and the public generally is given an in- #tai^>n to’eiall atoujhfeundr- see us at any time they are in town. We wish one and all a Merry Christ- mast and a .Happy New Year. How times have changed. We noticed in a Greensboro paper the other day that the mothers had de cided that in; t -ad of protecting the giris from the boys that things had been reversed and that the boys should be protected from the girls, or words to that effect. Do your Christmas shopping late if you haven’t already, done it. A modern, up-to-date hotel-on the square is one”of the 1922 pos sibilities. The price of,cotton doesn’t seem to change much these days. It is up a little one day and down a little the next. The Record believes that the price is going to be maferially higher within the next two or three months. A good many of our citizens are holding on to their cotton, and we. think they are doing the flight thing. You can have a happier Christ mas if you wiirhelp some one this year who is worse off than you are. If- you know of a needy family, or some poor children whom Santa Claus is liable to overlook, you can do a good deed by helping them, and you will rejoice for years to come over doing a good deed and helping those who could not help themselves. v ■ The government report on the cottonscrop this fall was tar from correct. Instead of a six and a half million bale crop it seems now that these will be nearly nine mil lion bales. Of course this has caused the price to remain where it is. No one knows what the cot ton market is going to do in the near future. Once again the news comes to us that the Southern Power'Company is coming through Mocksville with in the next year, are two. ,jThis report always begins to circulate wheu anything is said about put ting in electric lights:- W e trust taat the report is true this time and that we will soon have sufficient power to run all our mills and fac tories and enough left over to light up the town and pull a million dol lar cotton mill.

Mr. E d ito ri-'The Governor cal led the Legislature m extra session to correct the Municipal Finance act passed m 1921 and which- was held invalid, and also to provide a- bout seven hundred thousand Hol lars to pay additional expenses of the Schools—they did. not get the finance act through its several read ings before it was -referred to tlie Supreme Court who gave an opin ion that m its present from after having been worked over it would be unconstitutional. Should the Governor have to call this august body in session again oefore its life expires I suggest that a . guardian or a receiver be appointed to see after the-peoples affairs 111 a legal and lawful wav. There would be no necessity lor an extra session if some one was properly attending to their business as law makers for the \people, and not so much log rolling for certain interests and parties.

BULL ATTACKS FIRE TRUCK Enraged Anim al' Makes Up for Lack of Excitement at Lorain, Ohio, Blaze. Lorain, 0.—Bulls and fire trucks— they’ll never be companions. Members of No. I fire company here firmly believe this following the out fit’s act In colliding with a perfectly husky bull while running to a fire. Members of the company didn’t In vestigate the extent of the animal’s injuries for the simple reason that Mister Bull, enraged Sfc the fiery red which adorns the fire-fighting appar atus, plunged toward the truck. As sistant Fire Chief Jack H art, riding on the rear of the truck, didn’t hesi tate to order Leo Billings, driver, to “make it snappy.” ; Billings obeyed. After following the truck for 100 feet the bull dipped sand with his tail and went through the usual bullish antlcB. The firemen avoided the bull lane on the return trip to the station. HORSE SAVES ITS. OWN LIFE Animal Pulls Bolt yvith Teeth on Door of Burning*' Stable and Escapes. Chester, Pa,—When a stable at Seventh and Madison streets, owned by John S. Lyndell, a contractor, caught fire the other day a horse that Lyndell has owned more than twenty years was the only animal In the place."' ’ As the flames began to crack about the old horses ears 'he neighed for aid, but nobody came to let him out. Slipping his halter tie horse quietly worked his'w ay tp a door and, draw ing the bolt with his teeth, walked out into an open lot, from ..where he surveyed the fire. Lyndell at first thought his horse had perished in the fire, and was over joyed when the animal whinnied a cor dial greeting. • ' .

He had been employed by the company sev eral years. YOU CAN’T TRUST CALOMEL AT ALL It’s Quicksilver, Salivates, Causes Rheumatism and Bone Decay. The next dose of calomel you take Jiay salivate you. It may shock your liver or start bone necrosis. Calomel is dangerous. It is mercury, quicksil ver. It crashes in to . sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening yon.

DIFFERENT, OFF THE STAQE Master Crook Had to Seek Ordinary Mortal to Perform What Would ' Seem Simple Task. Dareham Drake, the world-famous film villain, had had a very busy day at the studios. In the performance of part nineteen of “The Master Crook” he had deftly cut open with his electric saw five formidable safes, mastered swiftly the" mysterious combinations of nine more, and with a nonchalant air had picked the lock of his prison cell. And now, his day’s work finished, he breathed a sigh of relief as he alighted from his car and reached the door of his fiat. It was locked. Anxiously he searched every pocket of his clothes for the latchkey, but failed to unearth it. “Here’s a fix!” he groaned. After another vain search the M aster Crook walked' around to the nearest locksmith’s shop, flung a $20 bill into the counter and begged the unshaven man In charge to come and open his “blessed” door! ----------------j_ ATTORNEY SURELY A WONDER But Old Darky’s Admiration Must Have Been Embarrassing Under , th e ' Circumstances. In AJabama they tell of a prosecut ing attorney who was so ' uniformly successful with his cases that he be came both the terror of evil-doers in. the vicinity and the admiration of all, especially the dusky portion of the. population. Upon his withdrawal from office he was at once sought out by those charged with crime. Much to his dis gust, the first two cases that he de fended resulted In the conviction of his clients. An aged darky, named Joe Clinton, who had watched his prosecu tions with wonder and who looked on with equal amazement now he con ducted the defense, met the attorney just after his second defeat “Mistah Cal,” said'the old chap, In awed tones, “yo’ shore Is a wonder.

It Is only this: duly to prize and diligent ly to Improve time for the blessed end It was given for and'is yet graciously con tinued unto thee by eternal God.—REV. JOHN SHERMAN (1613-1685). ; By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN I IIAT of the checka that you and I are going to draw on the Bank ot Time In 1922—if we keep on drawing checks through the year? “There’s nothing new under the sun," according, to a very old saying. It's true, too, In a sense. But In another sense It most certainly !isn’t true. For there is something new every time New Tear's day comes around. There are several things that are new at New Tear’s beside the New •Tear. There’s a new chance. There’s a new responsibility. There’s a new 'balance In the Bank of Time. There’s a new bank book. So, what will the check stubs show at the end of the year? Rev. John Sherman had a right to make his “reasonable request” if prac ticing what one preaches gives that right. His “three score and ten” were busy years. He was born at Dedham, Essex, England, and before he was twenty-one he was .an A. B. and A. M. of Trinity college, Cambridge, a min ister of the Church of England and a Puritan on his way across the Atlantic to the Massachusetts Bay colony. There was no church for him, since the only three In existence—Boston, Salem and Watertown—had efficient - ministers. So he was one of the “orig inal planters” of Wethersfield, Conn., and a “watcher,” 1634-40. Then he was one of the founders of Milford, New Haven plantation. Next he m s a magistrate representing Milford in the New Haven colony and also charged with the duty of dividing land. Meanwhile he preached wherever op portunity offered. In 1647 he became the minister of the W atertown church. There he preached till his death In 1685. Church and state were pretty much the same thing In those days, so the village af fairs kept him a busy man. He found time, however, to publish for many years an almanac, for which he made all the astronomical calculations and wrote the text. He was- also the first fellow and overseer of Harvard uni versity. Incidentally he also found time to marry twice. Cotton M ather in his “Magnalla Chrlsti Americana,” says he had 26 children; this is a misstate ment, but he did have 16. His epi taph. In Latin on the tombstone In East Waltham, Mass., thus sums up his life: “Sacred to the memory of John Sherman, a man distinguished for pi ety, character and truth; a profound theologian; as a preacher a veritable Chrysostom; unsurpassed ln hls knowl edge of the liberal arts, particularly mathematics; a faithful pastor of the Church of Watertown In New Eng la n d ;'an overseer and fellow of H ar vard college. After a life of faith ful service to Christ in tihe church for upwards of 45 years In the full ness of time he passed - away and received from Christ the palm of vic tory, In the seventy-second year of his age, August 8, A. D. 1685.” Let us hope that the “reasonable request” that this early Puritan put to himself was to him “eternally prof itable.” In any event, he stands forth as a fine sample of a sturdy American pioneer family that has given four immortals to the nation—Koger Sher man, one of the framers of the Dec laration of Independence; General W. T. Sherman; Secretary of State John Sherman; Vice President James S. Sherman. Certainly his request is one that is always reasonable. And it Is one that was never more reasonable than now. The year 1922 Js a year when every good American should endeavor “duly to prize and diligently to im prove time.” It is a year with a chal lenge. It is a year with a promise. Though in folly and in blindness And In sorrow still we grope, Tet in man’s increasing kindness Lies the world's stupendous hope. And it is a reasonable request to ev ery red-blooded, thinking, patriotic American. Such a man knows that nobody can stand, still; that he has either to progress or fall back. The progressive man accepts responsibili ties as the measure of his capabili ties. He never shirks them, for he rec ognizes In them the price he must pay for advancement. Competition is going to be keen this year. The dollar is going to be hard to get. Men who have been getting twice what they were before and have had lots of money to spend are going •to feel the pinch. It looks- as If ev erybody who works for a living will have to work a little harder. It may be that life will seem hard. But what of It? Life has always been hard—• perhaps it was meant to be. Anyway, it is something that has got to be lived and mastered. It’s the business of men “to greet the unseen with a cheer” and “to advance on chaos and the dark.” Of course all. of us cannot have a hand In the big things that must be done in meeting the challenge of 1922. But if all of us do the little things we may, 1922 will indeed be the “Happy New Tear” of our greetings. i To save a little money, To praise a little more; To smile when days are sunny And when the- tempests pour; To pay less heed to sinning And more to kindly thought; To see beyond the winning Just how the light was fought; To be a. little kinder, A little braver, too. To be a little blinder' To trivial things .men do, To give my hand to labor, Nor whimper that I must; To be a better neighbor And worthier of a tru st To play the man, whatever N The prize at stake; Qod grant that I shall never These New Year pledges break. Anyone looking to r something to do In the waa of helping along can help bolster up the morals of his communi ty. 'Xlie war has done what all wars do. And the leeches on society are al ways active at such times. Just now we are facing all sorts of loose liv ing and the public at large apparently feels little concern. Any man or wom an can a t least help by setting a good example. A good American cun help just now by putting his respect for the law strongly in evidence. For the law is the law. If it is a poor law, it should be changed. But until it is changed, it should be . obeyed—whether It re lates to the shooting of game birds or to the use of liquor or to the speed of automobiles or to murder or to anarchy. Many people who would hotly resent the charge that they are nnarchists take delight In evading the laws and In making sporty of the laws. Every thinking man must realize that this Twentieth century clvillza- atlon is too complex to be sane, safe and sober. Medical philosophers are unanimous In declaring that we Amer icans live too hard and too fast; that our rapid ways are harmful both to the individual and to the race; that we should slow up. We are, to use the homely old phrase, burning the candle at both ends. Men try to succeed In business, to rule In politics, to be so cial leaders—all at the same time. To crowd dissimilar tilings together has become a national characteristic. Our avocations are often as wearing as our vocations; we play even harder ,than we work; Thus to crowd two or more lives into one Is to borrow of nature. She is a hard creditor, and she always exacts payment. One cannot,, of course, indict a whole people. There are still millions of sane, safe and sober people In, Ameri ca. But a society that demands or even countenances such recklessness is In need of reformation. It would be interesting—and startling—to know how many men and women put them selves In an early grave by going the pace that kills. “Of all sounds of all bells, most solemn and touching is the peal which rings out the old year. I never hear it without a gathering up of my mind to a concentration of all the images that have been diffused over the past twelve-month; all I have done or suf fered, performed or neglected, In that regretted time. I begin to know its worth as when a person dies. It takes a personal color.; nor was it a poetical filght In a contemporsu-y poet when he exclaimed: ‘I saw the skirts of the departing, year.’ “Every first of January that we ar rive at, is an imaginary milestone on the. turnpike track of human life; at once a resting place for thought and meditation, and a starting place for fresh exertion In the performance of our. journey. The man who does not at least .propose to himself to be bet ter this year thfin he was last; must be either very good or verj^bad indeed. And only to propose to be better 13 something; If nothing, else, it is an acknowledgment of our need to be so, which is the first step Jowards amend ment. But, In fact, to propose to one self to do well is In some sort to do well, positively; for there isno such thing- as a stationary point In human endeavors;- lie who is not worse today than he was yesterday, is better; and he who is not better. Is worse.” .So wrote Charles Lamb. Therefore let us make New Tear resolutions “duly to prize and diligently to im prove time for the .blessed end it was given for”—even if we break them. N ew Y e a r G iftsv As to the New Tear’s gift custom, it Ib supposed to have been derived from the Bomans, but is probably much older. Suetonius and Tacitus men tion It. Claudius Issued a decree for bidding the demanding of presents ex cept on New Tear’s day.. The Roman colonists in Britain found that the Saxons kept New Tear's in the same fashion. S tarting' as a pleasant, friendly custom, it rapidly became an abuse and a nuisance. The kings and feudal' nobility of the Middle • Ages practically levied on their dependents for. gifts. The presents varied accord ing to sex and rank. , FEAST DAY F O R 'RUSSIAN- CHILXiREN In the country towns of Russia New Tear’s Is the great feast day for the children. Boy’s fill their pockets with dried peas and wheat and go In bands from house to- bouse. People they have any. grudge against are' doused with the peas, while they shower the wjieat upon their friends. A curious custom also is festooning the hand somest horse and leading him to the house of a nobleman. The pea and wheat, shooters follow In. droves; Both guests and horse are admitted to the parlor of the lord and the guests re ceive presents.

(P repared by th e UnItod S tates D epartm ent ot A grlcalture.) Farm er Brown was driving the doc tor back to town, after he had set neighbor William Johnson’s fractured- leg and dressed three caved-In ribs. Johnson seemed to be in bad luck con stantly, and the neighbors were cir culating a subscription paper for him aud arranging a “bee” to do up Iiis unfinished work. Earlier In the season a hold-back broke on a bill. The horse ran away, throwing Johnson to the ground and confining him to bed several days In a . busy period. A little later one of his little boys stepped on a garden rake which had been left back down on the ground, and ran a tine through his foot. The child was taken to the doctor to have the wound dressed, but not until infec tion had set in, and he would always be a trifle lame. Delays Farm ,W ork. A hired man stepped through a loose board of a bam loft, and farm and household work was delayed while he recovered. This latest misfortune was the worst of the season. Johnson had besen shingjing the barn, using a common prop scaffolding, made by placing wooden brackets against the side of the building and supporting them with two-by-four scantling, set at an angle of 45 degrees and anchored at the foot with stakes and stones. He had un dertaken to carry a bunch of shingles to the roof. An- upper rung, previous ly broken from the ladder, had been replnced with a two-inch shingle band, nailed on with eight-penny nails. The wood In the side of the ladder was doxy and the nails gave way under Johnson’s ,weight. The jolt as he struck the next rung upset the ladder, and down tumbled Johnson, ladder, scaffolding'and shingles, all in a heap on the ground. “Pretty tough on Johnson," observed Brown. “They talk about farming be ing a safe and healthful pursuit; but I’ll bet he didn’t think so when that, .bunch of shingles pursued him and smashed his ribs.” ^farm ing is healthful,” said the old doctor, “providing people would take reasonable care of themselves.

The use of beef cattle In connection with general farming throughout the corn belt, says the'U nited States De partm ent of Agriculture, offers the fol lowing advantages; It is possible to make greater use of dry roughages, produced on the farm, as beef cattle consume larger quanti ties of these feeds than any other class of live stock. Beef cattle can be used profitably on rough land unsuitable for crop production; also ot> low, wet land un suitable for either <avps or for other classes of stock. . Beef cattle' use the total production of grain and roughages on' the average farm, without the purchase of othei feeds, more efficiently than any other class of live stock. Jleef cattle on the farm favor a well- balanced distributiou of iabor through out the year. The^ require very Ilttle attention during the summer and fall, when crops need attention, and dur ing winter and early spring, when there is ilttle field work to be done, farmers can utilize their tim e to advantage by eafing for the breeding herd, winter ing the stockers and feeders, or fatten ing some steers. TRAP NESTS HELP BREEDERS Some Facts Have Recently Been Learned as Result of Device In Improving Flock. Trap nesting hens to find the most profitable layers does hot appeal to thet average farm er and back-yard poultry man as being practical, ' Besides the original cost of making the nests, there is Ihe extra labor required in looking after the layers. However, some facts that were learned as a result of using the trap nest may be applied In the improvement .of the flock, say poultry- men of the Unltec^ States Department of Agriculture. - For instance, the trap nest has shown that the late moulter is the most profitable bird In the flock. Now, without the use of the trap n est a man may select the late moulters and tip sure that he is picking the cream of the, flock. And it seems reasonable to believe that this cnaracteristic breeds on from genera tion to generation.

SEITO B LADD’S PDEDlGTiOH Representative Sinclair of North Da kota Also Cricised the Present Monetary System. I DiSAGGQRD WITH THEORY Strong Inclination in American and British Circles Not to Take the Proposition Seriously. Washington.—Announcement by the British spokesman that Frapce has asked before the naval sub-committee of 15 for authority in agreem ent with the other four naval powers to build ten 35 000-ton capital ships struck the arms conference with stunning force. The proposal was wholly out of ac cord wi:li theories on which the naval confrees have proceeded up to this time that there was a strong inclina tion in British and American circles not to take it seriously. The feeling ■was said to rest in part on w hat Pre mier Briand said at the second plen ary session m regard to the American proposals for naval limitation. AIr Briands reference to “princi ples'’ was construed at the time as acceptance for France of the four prin ciples laid down by Mr. Hughes in his proposals. Paragraph A of the four principles stated was as follows. > “The elimination of all capital ship building programs, either actual or projected.” Paragraph B reads: “That regard should be had to the existing naval strength of the confer ring powers.” In view of these plain statem ents of the puroose of the conference, and ap parent French agreement in those pur poses. officials of delegations other than the French have been wholly at a loss to account for France’s desire now to add ten 35,000-ton “post-Jutland" ships to her navy by 1935. The proposal was believed in some quarters to be a trading proposition to accomplish some other purpose not clearlv discernable except to the French. W ashington. —• Failure of present day linancial and credit system s to m eet the needs of the people is threat ening the destruction of the fundamen tal American industry, agriculture, Senator Ladd, of North Dakota, de clared In opening the conference called by him to seek legislative relief from the situation. Senator Ladd described his proposed federal loan bureau as one method of relief, asserting that through it the government would re sum e its proper function of issuing money and of providing credit to all the people on ierm s of equality. Estim ating that a loss to “all in dustrial classes” during the last few years of -38 billions of dollars, with an equal loss in purchasing power, had re sulted from deflated value of farm pro ducts, he declared that this could be traced to the "non-functioning of cap ital” held by a few great corporations. The federal loan bureau bill pro posed to advance credits ■ to fanners on warehouse receipts, on city real es tate up to 50 per cent of its value, on farm s to 60 per cent and farm im provements to 40 per cent. Hepresentative Jam es H. Sinclair, of North Dakota, also criticised the pres ent m onetary system, declaring the federal reserve board was “controlled absolutely by bankers for the benefit of bankers." Would Issue Bonds.

W ashington. — Energetic pursuit and punishment of the more than 100,- 000 men who evaded the draft during the. world war is urgently recommend ed by Major General Harris, adjutant general Ofii the army, in his report made public by the secretary of war. To bring those guilty to trial, he rec ommends that congress appropriate $250,000 to pay rewards of $50 for each draft deserter delivered to the m ilitary authorities. "It is imperative,” he declares, “that the government exhibit the 'greatest* possible energy In pursuing these men and in .punishing all who are found guilty. If the government perm it these desers to escape the punishment pro vided for their offense, consequences of the gravest import will certainly ensue. "Inaction of this sort would tend to set a premium on evasion of m ilitary service with' the inevitable result that, should another national emergency arise and another selective draft be put In operation, the number of men attem pting to evade the performance of m ilitary duty will mount to a figure so large as to emperil the nation through ■ interfering very seriously with the rapid building up of an emer gency army.” General Harris says the publication of the “slacker lists,” by the newspa pers “proved highly useful for the purpose of straightening out the rec ords of a number of non-willful de serters whose names were included therein, despite all the care and effort expended In an attem pt to- include none but those of willful deserters.” He shows that less than one-half of one per cent of the names published have been found to be those of non- willful deserters and says these have been removed from the lists. General H arris’ report shows that reported desertions from the regular army In the fiscal year ended last June 30, totalled. 14,563, or 4.57 per cent, the largest percentage since 1909, and nearly four times as great as that In the preceding-fiscal year. He says the marked Increase probably can be accounted for “by. the fact’ that the vast m ajority of the deserters were new recruits who found the army dis cipline more irksome than they had anticipated.” Asks Appropriation for Russians.

Opponents of Measure Claim That Connditions of Distress Also Pre vail in This Country. . Washington.—A bill authorizing the President to expend $20,000,000 out of the funds of the United States Grain corporation for relief of the distressed and starving people of Russia was passed by the house, 114 to 51. Opponents of the m easure fought it to the last and forced a roll call on the ground that the vote as announced did not include a quorum of the house. The roll call resulted 181 to 71 and the bill now goes to the senate. In wrangling over the measure the house attem pted to chop it to pieces with amendments. The first actual test was an amendment by Represen tative Bankhead (democrat) of Ala bama to reduce the amount from $20,- 000,000 to $10,000,000, which was de feated 78 to 60. There had been two solid hours of debate, during which a flood of elo quence was let loose on the arguments that the starving Russian children, regardless of the bolshevik ruin that had brought about their distress, should have their cry for bread silenced with American food, when a new fight was started over proposals to tear the bill to pieces. Protesting against the use of funds for the' people of any foreign nation, Chairman Madden of the appropria tions -committee declared it was not easy to vote a tax on the backs of the American people and cry a t the same time for economy. “There are conditions of distress in this country which would appall con gress if I dared- relate them,” ■ Mr. Madden shouted, adding that informa tion to this effect had been- laid before him confidentially. , “But I cannot see my way clear to vote money out of the treasury,” said the chairman, "when it is not to be used to relieve the distress of the people we were sent here to serve.’ W hen the tim e came to receive amendments, more than a score of members, jumping to their feet, de manded recognition. In the m idst of the flood of them, - Representative Goodykoontz (republican) of West-Vir- ginia stepped' forward with a new propcsal which would direct the President to spend $20,000,000 for re lieving distress among the “starving hungry and unemployed citizens of the United States.” It was howled out on a point of order, but the W est Vir ginia republican stood his ground. “My amendment may not come with in the rules of the house,” Mr. Goody- koontz declared above the din, “but it at least has the m erit of coming with in the constitution of the United States.” Agricultural Loans. Washington.—Approval of 182 ad vances for agricultural and livestock purposes aggregating nearly $7,000,- 000 was announced by the war finance corporation.

Cr SISTERS By KATHLEEN NORRIS Copyright by Kathleen Norris < CHAPTER XVII—Continued. —17— , “No; AIix is going to speak to him about it.” Cherry outlined the talk that she and her sister had bad at breakfast “Then I shouldn’t bring up the ques tion at all,” Peter decided, quickly. “It would only mean an ugly and un necessary scene. It’s much wiser to let him continue to think that you don’t know anything about it, and to let Alix think that you are ignoring the whole thing!” “Until Sunday!” she whispered. “Until Sunday.” Peter glanced at Martin and Alix1 who were talking to gether absorbedly," in low tones. “My little sweetheart, I’ll make all this misery up to you I” he whispered. Her little hand was locked In his for the rest of the evening. ***•«•• Morning came, a crystal autumn morning, and life went on. If there was any change at the cabin it was a change for the better. Alix1 who had been silent and troubled for a little while, was more serene now, as usual concerned for the comfort of her heusehold, and as usual busy all day long with her poultry and pigeons, her bee-keeping, stable, and dogs. Peter was his courteous, gentle, Interested self, more like the old Peter, who had always been occupied with his music and his books, than like the passion ately metamorphosed Peter who had been so changed by love for Cherry. Martin, satisfied with the general re spects anil consideration with which he found himself surrounded, accept ed life placidly enough; perhaps he had been disturbed by the advent of the letter, perhaps he was willing to let the question of an adjustment be tween Cherry and himself -rest. It amused him to help get the house ready for a tenant, and from the fact that Cherry talked no more of living there, and made no comment upon his frequent reference to their departure on Monday, he deduced that she had come to her senses.' Cherry, too, was less unhappy than she had been. By avoiding Peter, by refraining even in words and looks from the companionship for which she so hungered, by devoting herself to Alix, she managed to hold her feelings in leash. Hven though Alix found that the knowledge of the secret they shared without ever mentioning stood between them like a screen, the sis ters, busy about the house, had won derful hours together. CHAPTER XVIII. Saturday came, a perfect day that filled the little valley to the brim with golden sunshine. Alix, driving alone to the mountain cabin, stared In the morning freshness a t the bine over head and said aloud, “Oh, what a day of gold!” The dog, sitting beside her on the front seat, flapped his tail In answer to her voice, and she laughed at him. But the laugh was quickly followed by a sharp sigh. “Saturday,” she mused, “and Mar tin expects Cherry to go with him on Monday I Expects her to go back with him to a life of misery for her, exist ence with a man she hates I Oh, Cher ry—my little sister!—there can be no happiness for you there! Arid Peter! Peter is left behind to me, who can not comfort him or still the ache that is tearing his heart! My two loved ones, and what can I do to help them I” She had come up to the cabin to do the - usual last little daily fussing among the ducks and chickens and to bring Peter, if Peter had not gone into town, back with her to Cherry’s house. They had all dined In the old Strick land house the night before, and be cause of a sudden rainfall had decided to spend the night there, .too. The Chinese boy who had been helping the sisters with their housecleaning had been persuaded to cook the dinner and get breakfast, and the evening about the old fireplace had been almost too poignantly sweet. But suddenly, at about ten o’clock, Peter had surprised them all by get ting to his feet. He was going up to the cabin, he said—must go, In fact. He would rather walk, please, he told Alix, when she offered to drive him up In the car. Bewildered and a little apprehensive, she let him go. To Cher ry, who seemed to feel suddenly sad and uneasy, Alix laughed about it, but she was secretly worried herself, and immediately after breakfast the next morqing decided to run up to the cabin In the car and assure herself that everything was right there. Cherry, who had not' slept and who was p'ale, had come out to the car, her distracted manner increasing Altx’s sense that something, was gravely amiss. She started on her trip with a heavy heart, but the half-hour’s run soothed her in spite of herself, and now she reached the cabin in a much more cheerful mood. Peter was nowhere about, and as she plunged into the work of house and farmyard she supposed, without giving the m atter a conscious thought, that he had gone, to the city. “Mis’ Peter not go train,” Kow an nounced presently. AU Alix’s vague suspicions awakened. “Not go train?” she asked with a premonitory pang. . Kow made a large gesture, as indi cating affairs disorganized. “Him no go to bed,” he further stated. “Boss come late. He walkin’ on porch.” "He came in late and walked on the norch!” Alix echoed in a low tone, as if to herself. “Where Mr, Peter go now?” she asked. “He have some coffee?” “No eat,” the boy answered. He indicated the direction of the creek, and after a while Alix, with an icy heart, went to the bridge and the pool where Peter had first found Cherry only a few weeks ago. He was standing, sfaring vaguely at the low and lisping stream, and Alix felt a great pang of pity when she saw him. He came to her smiling, but as Cherry had smUed, with a wan and ghastly face. “Peter, you’re not well?” Alix said. “I think—I am a little upset,” he answered. They walked back to the house together. Alix ordered him to take a hot bath, and made him drink some coffee, when, refreshed and grateful, he came out to the porch half an hour later. They shared the little meal that was her luncheon and his breakfast. He followed her to the car and got in the front seat beside her. “You’re awfully good to me,” he said, briefly, when they were going down the long grade. Alix did not answer immediately and he thought that she had not heard. She ran the big machine through the valley, stopped at the postoffice, and still in silence began the climb toward the old house. The roads were all narrow here, but she could have fol lowed them in the dark, he knew, and he understood that it was not her driv ing that made her ,face so thoughtful and kept her eyes from meeting his. “You say Pm good to you; Pete,” she surprised him by saying suddenly. “I hope I am. For you’ve been very good to me, my dear. There’s only one thing In life that I haven’t got, and want. And that you can’t, unfor tunately, get for me.” He bad'flushed darkly, and he spoke with a little effort. ‘T d like to try!” She ignored the invitation for a few minutes, and for an instant of panic he thought he saw her lip tremble. But when she turned to him, it was with her usual smile. “It’s only that I would like to have you—and—and Martin—and Cherry as happy as I am I” she said quickly. And a second later the mood was gone as she turned the car in at the home gate and exclaimed, “There’s Cherry now!” “Martin’s somewhere about," Cherry said as Peter joined her, and Allx stopped the car within conversational range. Alix remarking that she would turn' the car so that she might later start on the grade, disappeared, and’ the two were together again, after what a night—and what a day I—and that was “Where Mr. Peter Go Now?" She Asked; all that mattered. They spoke con fusedly, in brief monosyllables, and were silent, their eyes meeting only furtively and brieflj;. “Can you walk up to the cabin with ine?” Peter asked. . “I want so mudh to speak to you. Everything’s all ar ranged for tomorrow. Ail you have to think of is yourself. Now, In case of missing the boat again—which isn’t conceivable, but we must be ready, for anything.!—I shall go straight to the club. You must telephone me there. Just go off tonight quietly, get as much sleep as you can, and keep your wits about you.” “Tell me our plans again,” Cherry faltered. . ' ' .. ■- “It’s perfectly simple;” he said, giv ing her anxious face a concerned glance. “You are going to the Olivers’. I go in, In the morning, to get your; suitcase and my own and get to the boat. I shall be there'at half-past ten. You get there before eleven—you won’t see me. But go straight on board and ask for Mrs. Joyce’s cabin. W ait for me there!” “But—but suppose you don’t come I” “I’ll be there before you. It Is bet ter for us not to meet upstairs. B ut to be sure, I’ll telephone you at Minna Oliver’s at about nine o’clock tomor row morning. I’ll just tell you that I’m on my way and that everything is all right I Do you realize that by this time tomorrow we shall be out at sea,” he added, “leaning on the rail—watch ing the Pacific race by—and belonging to each other forever and ever?” The picture flooded her face with happy color. “It’s tomorrow at last!” she said wonderingly as they walked slowly tbward the house. “I thought it would never be. It’s only a few hours more now.” “How will you feel when it’s today?”, he asked.. ( . “Oh, Peter, I shall be so glad when it’s all over, and when the letters are written, and when we’ve been together for a year,” she answered fervently. “I know it will be all as we have planned, but—but if it were over!” They reached the side door now and w ere, mounting the three steps to- “Be patient until tomorrow,” he whispered. “Oh,” she said softly,- ■ 1T shan’t breathe until tomorrow." Leaning across her to push back the light screen door, he found himself face to face with Alix. In the dark entryway Peter and Cherry had not seen her, had not heard her move. Pe ter cursed his carelessness; he could not remember, In the utter confusion of the moment, just what' he and Cher ry had said, but if it was of a betray ing nature, they had betrayed them selves. One chance in a hundred that she had not heard I Yet, if she was acting, she was act ing superbly. Cherry had turned scar let and had given him an open glance of consternation, but Alix did not seem to see it. She addressed Peter, but when he found himself physically un able to answer, she continued the .con versation with no apparent conscious ness of his stumbling effort to appear natural. “There you are! Are we going to have any tennis? It’s after two o’clock now.” “I had no idea it was so late,” Peter said. “I knew it was getting on,” Cherry added, utterly a t random. . “Go in and tell the boy we won’t be back until tomorrow,*’ Martin sug gested to his wife. “You could all come down here to sleep,” Cherry said, “and have break fast here I” “I have to go into town rather early tomorrow," Peter remarked. “Porter’s' giving a breakfast at the Bohemian club.” ‘‘Why not walk up to the cabin?”- Cherry suggested in a shaking voice. “I have to take the car up. You three walk I Come on, anybody who w ants.to ride!” Alix said. “They can walk,” Martin said, get ting into the front seat “Me for the little old bus!” Cherry came out of the house with her hat on, and Buck leaped'before her into the back seat. Alix watched her as she stepped up on the running board, and saw the color flicker in her beautiful l'ace. “I thought you were going to walk?” Peter said nervously.. He had saun tered up to them with an air of in difference. “Shall I?” faltered Cherry. She looked at Alix, who had not yet climbed into the car and was pulling on her driving gloves. Alix, toward whose face the dog was making eager springs, did not appear Interested, so Cherry turned to Martin. “Walk with us, Mart?” she said. “Nix,” Martin said comfortably, not stirring. “I'll be home before you, Pete, and wait for you,” Alix said. Sbe looked at him irresolutely, as if she worild have added more, bnt evidently de cided against it and spoke again only In reference to the dog. “Keep Buck with you, will you, Pete?” she said: “He’s getting too lazy. No, sir I” she reproached the animal affectionately, “You shall not ride! Well, the dear old Bucky-boy, does he want to come along?” - And she knelt down and put her arms about the animal, and laid- her brown cheek against-, his head. “You old fool!” she Said, shaking him gently to and fro. “You’ve got to stay with Peter. Old Buck— I” ■ _ Suddenly she was on her feet and had sprung into her place. “Hol’d him, P ete!” she said. “Good- by, Sls dear! ' AU right, Martin?” The engine raced; the car slipped smoothly into gear and vanished. Pe ter and Cherry stood looking at each other. “Give them a good start, or Buck will catch them,” Peter Said, his body swaying with the frantic jumping of the straining dog. Bint to hlihself he said, with a sense of shock: “ Alix knows!” ' Buck was off like a rocket when he finally set him free; his feathery tail disappeared between the columns of Ase redwoods. W ithout speaking Cherry and Peter started after hiip. “And now that we are alone togeth er,” Cherry said, after a few ,minutes.- “there seems to be nothing to say! We’ve said It all.” „ “Nothing to say!” Peter echoed. “Alix knows,” he said In his heart. “W hatever we ;do, It all seems si)— wrong!” Cherry said with watering eyes. “W hatever we do is wrong,” he agreed soberly. . “But we go?” she said on a flutter ing breath. “We must go I” Peter answered. And again, like the ominous fall of a heavy bell-tongue, the words formed in his heart: “Alix knows. AIiX knows.” He thought of the afternoon, only a few weeks ago, when Cherry’s beauty had made so sudden and so irresist ible an appeal to him, and of the in nocent delight of their luncheons to gether, when she had first .confided in him, and of the days of secret and intense joy that her mere nearness and the knowledge that he would see her had afforded him. It had all seemed so fresh, so natural, so entire ly their own affair, until the tragic day of M artin’s reappearance and the hour of agonized waiting at the boat for the Cherry who did not come. There had been no joyous self-confi- She Ran Toward Them—Horror Was In Her Aspect. derice In that hour, none in the dis tressed hour a t the Orpheum, and the hour, just past, when Cherry’s rarely displayed passion had wrenched from him his last vestige of doubt. But this was the culminating unhap piness that he should know, from Allx’s brave and gentle and generous look as they parted, that Alix knew. He had, in the wild rush and hurry of his thoughts, no time now to analyze what their love must mean to her, but it hurt him to see on her happy face those lines of sternnes,s and gravity, to see her bright and honest eyes shadowed with that new look of pain. It was too late now to undo It; he and Cherry must carry their desperate plan to a conclusion now, must dis appear and forget; They had tried, all this last dreadful week, they had both tried, to extinguish the flames, and they had failed. But to Peter there was no comforting thought anywhere. Wrong would be done to Martin, to Alix, to Cherry—and more than even these, wrong to himself, to the ideal of . himself that had been his for ,so many years, to the real Peter Joyce. “Listen, that’s Buck!” said Cherry, as the dog's loud and violent barking reached them from beyond a turn in the twisting road. “He didn’t catch them, then.” The next instant a woman came up die road, running arid making a queer, vhlmpering noise that Cherry never forgot. She was 'a stranger to them, but she rail toward them,\ making the odd, gasping noise ■ with much dry mouthing, and with wild eyes. Horror was in her aspect, and hor ror was the emotion that the first glimpse of her awakened vaguely in their hearts, but as she saw them she suddenly found voice for so hideous a scream that Cherry’s knees failed her, and Peter sprang forward with a shout He gripped the woman’s arm, and her frantic eyes were turned to him, “Oh, my God I” she cried In a hoarse, cawing voice. ‘-‘My God I They’re over the bank—they’re over the bank!” “Who?” Peter shouted, his heart turning to ashes, ' ; “Ob, the car—the automobile I” the woman mouthed. “Oh, my G o d -I sa'w it go I I saw it fall I Oh, God, save them—oh',. God, take them ; don’t let them suffhr that way I” • They were all running now, running with; desperate speed down the long' road; about the curves, on and on to ward the, frantic noise of the dog’s barking, and toward another noise, the sound of a human voice twisted and wild with agony. - The strange woman was crying out wildly; Cherry was sobbing a: prayer. Peter, without knowing that he spoke at all, was repeating over and over again the words: “Not Alix—my God I —it cannot be—she has never had an accident before—not Alix I” (TO BE CONTINUED'.) .The M anners.of Women. “Madam,” Said the man standing in the street car, “why do you persist In punching me with your umbrella?” “I want to make you look around',so I can thank you for giving me ydur seat.

Josephus Daniels of Raleigh, former Secretary of the Navy, has signed the 1921 Xmas appeal letter, which has the endorsement of nearly every high gov ernment and state official. WoodrojV Wilson and President Harding have given their unqualified' endorsement tt this great humanitarian work. The North Carolina general assem bly passed in both branches an en dorsement of the Near East Relief work and workers. Governor.Cameron Morrison has given the work an im petus and Col. George H. Bellamy United States Marshal for the Eastern District of North Carolina, is state chairman. „ Mr. Daniels’ letter calling attention to the fact that every five dollars ($5.00) given saves the life of a child for a month, follow’s : Raleigh, Dec. 10, 1921. Dear Sir: We are all making ready for Christmas—the season of the year when as at no other, the Child is the center of the world’s thought and the world's love. Of course,- our first thought to o; those In our own home—how sutp.ise them into a gladness th.., wiii bring joy to all about them. And then, we wiii not forget those children who are r.sar us, whose lives may not be as crowded with comforts. We cannot have the best relish for our Christmas dinner unless we claim the prom- . ise, “It is more blessed to give than to receive." Who Is your neighbor? That question was put to us by the ChrisL For years some good peo ple nave been neighborly to tha children of Armenia, people of that country separated only a short distance from Bethlehem. With the coming of war, the condition of these Christianj people, sur rounded by persecutors, has been intolerable..^ The United States Government employed Jwarohlps to carry them relief before and . after we entered the war. The present year has brought little to them and winter finds-them In want. •: . • - Reliable Ameflcans Just re turned from Armenia, tell of piti able conditions. As the state ments of their sorb need now have become known, good men aiid women in every state Ife planning ' to $end them , Christmas gifts. North Carolina has already given help'. Let us all increase our help to them so that we may gladden . their hearts this Christmas. I- am . writing you, knowing your tender' pity for those under privation and persecution. You can feed one of these or phans for five dollars ($5.00) a month. Please send to Robert A, Brown, 901 Citizens National Bank Building, Raleigh, N. C., such-con tributions as your heart prompts. Sincerely yours, (Signed) JGtSEPHUS DAN’IELS. It is hoped that the coming year will be the last one required to care for the 550,000 -refugees who are being fed at the Near East Relief soup kitchens in ArmeiUa and Syria every day. -The Turks were just driven out of Armenia last August but during their occupa tion -they have looted and destroyed homes and made fields- unproductive. Heads of homes were in most cases murdered, mothers of families out raged and then carried off .to Turkish homes, and children turned out in the streets to perish. One hundred r.nd. ten thousand of ’them have ‘been taken into the 229 orphanages' now being maintained by the Near East Relief in the Bible lands from money do nated by generous hearted Americans. There are as many more children out side the gates dying while they clamor for admission which is denied them because the institutions are already taxed almost beyond their capacity.
