In spite of the protests of the other judges Saunders declared the “second from the end” possessed the most slnue Iv ankles. The winner turned out to be mi) old sweetheart of Saunders, and one getting second place was his wife, whom many said should have had first place Saunder’s wife left nim as a result of the contest. Then the husband of the winner blacked both of Saunder’s eyts in a fight. Added to this, his hard ware store and automobile burned, neither being iusured. Sunday a Day of Dread. For 25 years Glenn E.

It’s a man’s job In the 25 years Duffv has pilated an engine, through all possible •veather conditions and countless other trying tosls. he never had an accident until a few Sunday’s ago. On that day his train struck an automobile and killed four persons; a little later it struck another and killed nine.

Mars Hill College has just re ceived one of the greatest offers ever made to the institution. A f' ienjl who has already done much for us proposes to give $5 0 ,0 0 0 for a Vlr-1W demitory for boys, provided we will by April 1, IgarfTaisea like a iouiit for a girls domitorv. 4,51 Students, 70 of whom are from ten other Seates and three foreign counties have enrolled this fall. Every available room in the three domitorics was taken long be fore school opened, and many who knocked for admittance were turn ed away for lack of room So it is evident that this offer comes at a time of great need. No one who lias not been to Mars Hill can realize the pressing needs of tnis institutions A $5 5 ,0 0 0 gvmnasian has just been staiteu with less than half the money on hand. The erec tion of two new domilories will make more imperative the need of a central heating plant and more class rooms The aggregate of these needs is $100,000 at the very least, halt of which must be raised by April 1, 1924. The C M inpaigu is 011 and the student body is in heart and soul, but they cannot do it alone. They must present this oppor tunity to the Christian people of this and other Stales. The condi tions laid do .i n by this friend of the college constitute a challenge to any man of means, and to all who are believers in Christion education. Tliey must be met by individual gifts, by church contri buttons, or by a “drive” covering territory as wide as the patronage, of the school, now reaching from New Jersey to Texas, ai.d taxii g in sixty-three of the one hundrtd counties of this state. Mars Hill is known through out the southern Baptist convention as a Christian institution that is'turn ing out men and women to carry the Gospel to foreigti fields or serve the Master here iu our homeland. The eight A. I. B. P. U’s con stitute a strong hold and dynamo of the young people’s work in North Carolina. Thesixorgatiized Sunday school classes ate all doing some of the finest Sunday school work to be found anywhere. No one who has not been to AIars Hill can realize aud appreciate the fine Christian spiiit of the college that is molding the lives of young mgn and women who are to become our Christian workers of the future. ' Mars Hill also furnishes all the literary advantages of a high school and junior college at a much lower costs than L found elsewhere. Be cause of this fact many students come here who could not go to other institutions. Since it has be come a standard Junior college it offers still better opportunities for the poor boy seeking a college education. Is there another place where dollars will go fttther or ring louder in the eternities than at .this Bnptist educational center of west ern North Carolina? Can a man put his money in anything that will bring him a greater interest iu tht life to come ihan in the education of young men and voung women? Now is tbe time. Just fine months to raise .#5 0,0 0 0. If we raise it we get an additional $5 0 ,0 0 0, but if we fail all hope of supplying the need of new domilories is lost, for the time being at last. This great of fer may never come again, and it would be a pity to lose it in the face of such great needs. Will not the people in Mocksville and iu Davie Countv subscribe to this fund?

While standing in his office, The vision came to view, For he saw an angel enter Dressed iu garments white and new. Said the angel, "I’m from heaven, The Lord just se-.it me down To Ining you up to glorv And put 011 your golden crown. You’ve been a friend to everyone And worked hard night aud day, You have supported many And from few received your pav And we want you to lie up iu glory Where you desire to be, So place your trusting hand in mine And come along with me.” Then the angel aud the editor •Started up to glory’s gate, But when passing close to Hades, The angel murmured, "Wait!

The early Pilgrims gave us our Thanksgiving Day, with its hugh turkeys and home circle pleasures, but it is from the Cavaliers of Vir ginia! aided and abetted by the early Dutch settlers.'tnat we take the tone for our Christinas holidays. It is a gjod thing, too, as the Puritans would have omitted many of those simple joys that make Christmas the greatest of all holi days, the dav when joy reign's su preme in every one’s heart. John Dickinson Sherman has written an unusual article on the spirit of Christmas, 1923 , that ap pears on an inside page, and wl^fh we know will give our readers a different angle and .enjoyable of all days. He tells how Christmas was celebrated 111 years now dead and gone, and how the institutions have lived. He does not omit to empha size how much children mean in thisaunual celebration. Altogether it is a splendid article that we urge our readers to go through carefully. It will help relight the fires of joy and . happiness for them, as it did for us. One of the first questions asked by people looking over a town for the purpose 01 finding a location, is how much taxes do you have to pay? What is your tax rate for the present year? And if it is con siderably higher than other towns ic scclioii of.tlie c o iiT in which it is located, they will go where tlie taxes are mote reason able— Rogersville Herald.

Washington.—In the 15 months ending with the month of Septein- ’ 13 Prohibition enforcement agents were killed and 5S injured in the Ime of duty, Prohibition Com missioner Haynes said in a sum mary of the bureau activities. ,Property destroyed, in the way of illicit stills, liquors and compounds was worth $4,121,000. There also was seized, but not destroyed, prop erty valued at $9,059,000, some of which is awaiting court action while the balance is represented by auto- mobiles, motor boats, and various other materials. WIiflLESSLE TRAliE LARGER THE FIRST INCREASE TO BE RE CORDED IN SEVERAL MONTHS. Federal Reserve Report Indicates a Three Per Cent Growth in Production. Washington.—An increase of three per cent in production of basic commo dities—the first increase to be record ed in four months—featured business conditions during October and the first half of November, according to a re view issued by the federal reserve board. While principally due to re sumption of anthracite mining, the in crease was declared also to reflect augmented activity in textile, lumber, sugar and most of the other indus tries included in the board’s index list. Volume of freight shipments and wholesale trade continued above nor mal, the review showed, while whole sale prices and employment were sub stantially unchanged. Contracts awarded for new build ings increased 25 per cent over Sep tember, and throughout the country were “considerably more than is usual at this season,’’ the residential pro jects forming a larger proportion than in any previous month of the current year. “Heavy movement of miscellaneous merchandise and livestock,” the board said, “resulted in October in the lar gest railroad shipments of any month on record. Wholesale trade was 12 per cent larger than a year ago and sales in all lealding lines except shoes showed increases. Department store sales were 13 per cent larger than last October and sales of mail-order houses were the largest of any month since 1919. “Wholesale prices declined less than one per cent in October, according to the index of the bureau of labor sta tistics and stood approximately at the ’evel of a year ago. The principal changes of the month were declines in the prices of fuel, clothing, metals and animal products, while wholesale prices of crop, particularly cotton, in creased. During the first half of No vember the prices of wheat, hogs, pig- irons and hides receded, and prices of cotton and cottongoods, cement and copper advanced. “Since the middle of October there has been a slight decline in demand for credit for commercial and agricul tural purposes at member banks ir leading cities. Considerable decreas es in borrowings for these purposes in the New York and Chicago districts were partially offset by increases in other districts. Loans secured by stocks and bonds increased somewhat, while investments continued to decline and reached the low point for the year. Sheriff Holds Three Brothers. Bushnell, Fla.—Three men, believed by the sheriff to be the d’Autremont brothers, Roy, Ray and Hugh, wanted in connection with the holdup and rob bery of Southern Pacific passenger train Number 13, in the Siskiyou Moun tains on the California-Oregon state line October 11, last, are being held in the county jail here, it became known. Although the sheriff would not go into details of their capture he ad mitted that the three suspects were taken into custody near here late last week and that Western authorities had been requested to furnish photo graphs and more detailed descrip tions of the persons wanted. Hold Macon Youth on Extortion. Philadelphia.—A youth, who gave his name as Arthur R. Hampton and his address as Macon, Ga., is under arrest here charged with attempted extortion under threat of death. Mrs. J. Howard Fell, of this city, received a leter threatening her life and that of her three-year-old daughter unless she paid over $2,000 to a man who would call at her home with a note ,sent by the writer of the letter. Pos tal inspectors set a trap and arrested Hampton when he called at the house with the note. Mail Carrying Hazardous Job. Washington.—The job of rural letter carriers has become a hazardous one. the casualty list for the last t’wo and a half years, made public by the post- office department, showing 55 lives to have been lost In the performance of duty. A plea to patrons of rural routes was issued, urging that boxes be plac ed on the right hand side of the road in the direction of the carrier’s travel. This it was said, would remain over one of the greatest dangers--thil of traf’fl nerlls. ________ FEADIN fed er a l re serv e r e p o r t s m ore crop money th a n EVER BEFORE. Asserts Second Largest Cotton Crop Producing State; Cotton Up $25 a Bale During Month. Richmond, Va.—Business in the Fifth Federal reserve district during October was fully up to seasonal aver age and in some lines much of the September dullness disappeared, ac cording to the monthly review of the Federal Reserve bank of Richmond issued here. According to the review the oustanding development during the month was the increase in the price of cotton which advanced ap- proximtely $25 a bale between the middle of October and the middle of November. This price was six cents above the price of the product as of November 15, 1922, according to the figures of the report. The increase in the size of the crop is set at 31 per cent, amounting to 420,000 bales. As a result of this improvement in the condition of the cotton producers throughout the district the general conditions have improved and the in creased prosperity is noted in the in crease of bank d-posits. Business failures in the district dur ing October while showing an increas ing over September were fewer in proportion than in the nation as a whole. Labor, according to the re port, continues fully employed at high wages and enough labor is available tor all purposes except dairying and a few minor industries of the section. Building permits, the report indicat es, broke all previous records in the 25 leading cities. North Carolina, according Co the report, has had a banner year and conditions which developed during October, when crop reports were is sued, developed that more money will pour into the producers’s pockets by reason of the crops, than ever before. North Carolina, auction warehouses sold 68,617,235 pounds of tobacco for producers during October at an aver- ige price of 21.52 cents a pound. While the average price last season was approximately eight cents higher, the sales were less by more than six million pounds. The yield per acre of tobacco this season in North Caro lina Is approximately 110 pounds great er than last year though the quality is not as good. Wilson, N. C., led all the tobacco markets of the state with sales of 14,478,250 pounds but the high est average price was obtained at Farmville, that being $25,07 per hun dred pounds. In the three states where the Co-operative Tobacco Mar keting association operates, Virginia, North and South Carolina, the total deliveries of tobacco up through No vember 10 Was 72,352,178 pounds of which more than 40,000,000 was deliv ered In North Carolina. North Carolina, says the report quoting the department of agriculture, has become the second larges cotton producing state of the union with an estimated yield of 1,010,000 bales this season against S52.000 last season, which was a record crop to that time. LIQUOR KILLS FIVE; MANY OTHERS SICK. Philadelphia. — Liquor, “import ed” for the holiday season is blam ed by the police for the death of five men, and the sending of many others to hospitals in critical con ditions. The deaths increased the fatalitis attributed by the authori ties to poison whiskey to eight in the last seven days. Central city hospitals treated scores of persons who had been picked up on the streets uncon scious from whiskey which some of them said had been sold to them by bootleeger3 as “imported.” Many said they had taken only one or two drinks before losing conscious ness. Oxygen gas have saved the lives of at least a dozen at one hos pital, physicians said. ONE LARGEST IN ONLY TWO WERE KILLED AND THIRTEEN INJURED AT BEN TON, ILL. Underground Supports of Coal Localiz- ized Effects of the Big Ex plosion. Chicago.—Two men were killed and 12 were burned, two of them seriously, in an explosion in the Orient mine of the Chicago, Wilmington and Franklin Coal Company, near Benton, 111., ac cording to advices to the coal com pany’s office here. The mine, one of the largest in the world, employs more than 1,000 work men and 920 were reported to have been in the mine at the time of the explosion which was believed due to gases. Mine officials attributed the small casualty list to an elaborate system of "barrier pillars” by which the mine was worked. The damage was said to have been small and advices from the mine said operations could be resumed almost immediately. George B. Harrington, president of the operating company, attributed the comparatively small loss of life to the operating methods. "By dividing the entire mine into a series of small chambers,” he said, "we have reduced the fire and explo sion hazard to a minimum. The plan requires us to leave natural wall3 of coal under ground, so that in the interest of safety we are required to leave close to thirty per cent of the coal in the mine. But we are certain that the system saved many lives. In the old fashioned operation, these walls would be taken out and replaced by timber supports, and in time the entire operation would be but a single air chamber, in which a gas explosion would endanger the life of every work er. In addition, the timber braces would serve as fuel for the fires which almost always follow an explosion.” The Orient arrangement, he explain ed, makes the entire underground workings a series of small coal cham bers, anyone of which can be quickly sealed, either from within or from without in case of an explosion or fire. By this method, disaster always may be localized. TO HEAD GABIHEI SEV E N-DAY PARLIAMENTARY CRISIS IN GERMANY IS TERMINATED. HAS THE SAME COMPOENTS Party Anything But Firmly Co-Ordi nated 3-Party Bloc; Stresemann Foreign Minister. Berlin.—The seven day parliament, ary crisis, which was chiefly devoted to inter-party bickerings and barter, ings and an abortive attempt definite ly to do away with socialistic influence in national politics through the cera- tion of a bourgoles bloc, terminated in a three-party compromise, by virturo of which a minority coalition, compris ing members of the clerical, the Ger man people’s and the democratic par ties will succeed the deposed Strese- mann government, which was consti tuted with the same component parts. Dr. Wilhelm Marx, the clerical lead er, will head the new cabinent as chancellor, while the other portfolios vvill be by men who were In the last government. As at present constituted the gov ernment will be: Chancellor: Dr. Wilhelm Marx. Minister of the interior: Dr. Jarres. Minister of defense: Dr. Otto Gessler. Minister of food: Dr. Hans Luther. Minister of posts. Dr. Anton Hoefle. Minister without portfolio: Rodulph Oeser. Dr. Stresemann is reported as to have accepted the post of foreign minister. Aside from being a pronounced minority cabinet, the present revamp ed coalition is anything hut a firmly co-ordinated three-party bloc within its own ranks and It also will be call ed upon to assimilate much of the animosity and partisan acerbities which it inherits from the seven-day crisis, both with respect to the antag onism waiting it from the German nationals as well as the yet wholly problematical attitude of the united socialists. Although Dr. Marx announced he would select his cabinet members ir respective of their party allegiance, he nevertheless heads an outspoken partisan ministry which seemingly once again is wholly dependen upon the charity of the social democrats. To this extent the present crisis ran true to traditional form, although pre vious parliamentalv ructions rarely consumed an entire week in the pro cess of their liquidation, President Ebert used up four chancellor candi dates in his efforts to construct a party line-up which would constitute a workable coalition. Discuss Action On Expose of Eareau. Washington.—Possible action by the Department of Justice on charges of irregualarity developed during the Senate Veterans’ Bureau investigation was discussed with President Coolidge by Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, and Oddie, of Navada, Republican mem bers of the investigating committee and Frank T. Hines, director of the Bureau. Senator Reed is understood already to have taken the subject up with Attorney General Daugherty. A ,suggestion made to the commit tee that Chambers of Commerce over the country be requested by the Presi dent to keep in touch with rehabilitat ed veterans and see that they nave continuous employment also was laid before the Executive. Hold Brother of Mr. Diamond. New York.—Admission of Morris Barlow Diamond on his return from j Cleveland, where he wa sarrested that he possessed “useful information” about the killing and robbing of two Brooklyn bank messengers 11 days ago, was followed quickly by the ar rest of his younger brother, Joseph, and the discovery that Morris Diamond had rented a safety deposit box three hours after the crime. So much progress was made that District Attorney Dodd announced that presentation of the case to a Brooklyn grand jury might start and police expressed their confidence of a speedy solution of the crime in which I $43,000 was stolen. Five Are Killed In Storm. Houma, La.—Five persons lost their lives, five were injured an.d heavy property' damage resulted from a storm which swept the little Baillou Bayou section, 16 miles south of here. The family of Ralph Guidry was wiped out, Mr. Gidry, his wife, 10-year- old son and 12-year-old daughter hav ing been killed when their home was wrecked. The fifth death was that of Katherine Burnet, the 12-year-old daughter of a man named Brunet, who was drowned when a houseboat in which the family made its home over turned. The parents escaped. Approximately 25 houses were wrecked, including the $25,000 Lacashe schoolhouse, Wants Bureau To Enforce Dry Lew. Washington.—A proposal that a separate bureau be created in the treasury department to take care of prohibition enforcement was taken up with President Coolidge by Repres entative Cramton, Republican, Michi gan, who plans to introduce a bill foi that purpose at the coming session of congress. Mr. Crampton told the president that the internal revenue bureau, which now has general jurisdiction over the prohibition enforcement unit, was too much occupied with other duties to properly administer the dry laws. Rich Widow Dies in Wild Drive. Houston, Texas.—Mrs. C. O. Fuller, wealthy Huoston widow, struck Fred Hickman with her motor car here hurling him 30 feet and killed him, and three minutes later drove her machine head-on into a street car and was instantly killed. Several witnesses of the spectacular accident said Mrs. Fuller, apparently unnerved, was drtving her car through the crowded street at 50 miles an hour. Apparently she iliade no effort to apply the brakes. Honor South Carolina Men. Petersburg, V a.-Impressive cere monies attended the unveiling here of a memorial boulder as a monument to the South Carolina soldiers who parti cipated in the celebrated battle of the crater of the civil war. The memor ial erected by the South Carolina Daughters of the Confederacy, rests upon the very locality of the charge by the Palmetto state’s fighting men. . The exercises were presided over by Walace Blanks, commander of the sons of Confederate veterans. Among those participating were Mrs. Milling, president South c-'rolina division U. D. C., Mrs. Poppenheim, former presi dent general of the Daughters, Miss Armida, Moses, Mrs. Allan Jervey and Miss Simpson. The visiting delegations were wel comed in addresses by representatives of lqcal patriotic organizations. Graj clad veterans of the struggle were in terested witnesses Of the ceremonies. Capture One Killer of Duel. Columbiana, Ala.—Dewey Lucas, who is alleged to have shot and fa tally wounded D. P. Walker at Monte- vallo at which time Walker is said to have salin Allen Mahan in a three-cornered fight, was cap tured at his home and lodged in jail here.

Trotzky may say that “punish ment and revenge await the American bourgeoisie from the European prole tariat,” but the Russian proletariat go on crying "Ahra” just the same. This feeding of Russia was the big gest piece of pure philanthropy In all history. It is impossible to believe that It will not have its effect on the future.

D. 1923 in the United States of America is the same as it was in 1922 and as it has been for many a year. Celebration of the anniversary of the birth of Chriist is universal and does not differ except in unim portant details from Bangor to San Diego and from Seattle to JIiami— over more than three million square miles of territory and among more than one hundred and five million people. Yes; even in Plymouth, Mass., and in Jamestown, Va., is Christmas Day of 1923 celebrated in the same way— which fact in itself shows how in three hundred years a fringe of scattered colonies along the Atlantic has grown Into a close-knit and homogeneous na tion. For time was when the Christ mas that was celebrated in Virginia was anathema in Massachusetts and the Cavalier pitied and> derided the sober-minded Pilgrim and the bigoted Puritan. The Virginia settlers bothered them selves not at all over religion. They brought the established churcli of Eng land and all its observances with them as a matter of course. Their great purpose was to extend the life and power of England in tlie New World and to cut into the power and posses sions of the Spaniard. So the F. F. V.'s celebrated Christmas at James town according to home traditions as faithfully as the conditions allowed. And as the great religious festival of that church was Christmas, the Vir ginians made much of the day. More over, they were just the sort of folk to enjoy it—many of them were gentle men’s and soldiers’ sons, accustomed to pleasure and jollity rather than to religious meditation and the saving of souls. The Pilgrims, on the other hand, had separated from the Church of England, had discarded all that sa- voreil of ceremonial and had rejected the social and joyous side of Christinas for tlie serious and religious side. Tiiey came to the New World to worship in peace after their own fashion; they cared little for place or wealth and nothing for how the rest of the world worshiped. What social joyousness of the holiday season that survived in them was gradually built up around Thanksgiving day. The Puritans differed from both the Cavaliers and the Pilgrims. They had not separated from the Church of Eng land, .as had the Pilgrims, but had brought the church with them to re form it. Like the Pilgrims, they had discarded all ceremonial observances and those of Christmas were especial ly distasteful to them. The Puritans, unlike the Pilgrims, were determined to make all the New World worshin according to the Puritan idea. They developed a government that was in effect an autocratic theocracy in which church and state were one. Tiiey never went so far as to abolish Christ mas day—as did Oliver Cromwell and I his Roundheads in England by act ofj (Slm'SIflU-iS F O O D S H IP os WS AMERICA’S ORf1HAM WAfiU* IN THE KEAS CAST y I V ' i r J L J / s t f parliament December 24, 1652, for sev en years—but they practically ignored Christmas and made Thanksgiving their day of rejoicing. So Father Christmas, Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas and Kris Kringle came to the American people by way of Virginia—and the jolly Dutch burgh ers of New York. And how great the change three hundred years hath wrought! America may still have the well-known and justly famous “Puri tan conscience,” but state has noth ing ^to do with church and Christmas day is a holiday of national observ ance, with the same meaning to all the people. • • * * • * * Who has not loved a little child, he knows not Christmas Day— Most important, perhaps, of all phases of Christmas celebration is the fact that millions of people are think ing of the same thing at the, same time. Religion, which, as the word shows, should be a ligament binding men together, seems actually to have been one of the greatest dividing forces in the world. But the Christmas cra dle has a humanizing appeal that pulls all men closer together. Each year back I travel—f At least for one night— And enjoy with the children, In fancy, this sight. If peace abides with us, Good will toward men, , lTis because we are children With child's faith again. We catch a glimpse of the universal brotherhood of man at Christmas, when the fingers of children pull fam ilies, citizens, communities, nations closer together with the same Impulse —to make the world happier with a “Merry Christmas!” Little hands, how they ,tug at the heartstrings I The miracle of Christmas—the God In the Child, the Child in the God— for the moment at least makes the whole world kin. ******* A photograph reproduced herewith, shows Bishop Shipman blessing a 1922 Christmas ship on its departure for tlie stricken areas of the Near East. To many a child over there Santa Clans is spelled “America.” And though the handful of Russians who have grasped the powers of govern ment may wish America ill it is diffl- sian grain. And Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen, who commanded American forces, on the Rhine, declares that a minimum of 2,000,000 children in Ger many must be fed for 141 days at a cost of nearly six million dollars. Truly the Santa Claus whose name is spelled “America” will be a busy Saint.• ****»• An old-time feature of the Christmas celebration in England bids fair to make a belated appearance in this country—the singing of Christmas carols, some of which go back to times before the memory of man. Of course the singing of carols has always had a place in church services in tills coun try—almost everyone knows several by hearr. But the new Idea is that these Christmas carols shall be sung at com munity gatherings and even upon the streets—set programs by trained sing ers. Denver seems to have taken the lead last year and to have made t great success of the singing of carols/ Over 3,000 singers carried the message of good cheer in song to every part of the city. “God Rest You, Merry Gentlemen,” the carol reproduced herewith, dates back at least to the Seventeenth cen tury. In quaint verses it recites the New Testament story of the birth of Jesus and has been sung the world over by English-speaking peoples. The seventh and last stanza is this; Now to *he Lord Bing praises, AU you within this place, And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace: This holy tide of Christmas AU other doth efface._0 tidings, etc. Thomas Hardy, the famous English novelist, In his "Under the Greenwood Tree,” has a chapter devoted to Christ mas caroling as practiced by the hum bler peasants. He gives the following words as part of an ancient and time worn carol transmitted orally from fa ther to son through the generations: Bemember Adam's.Call O thou Man: Remember Adam's fall From heaven to hell. Remember Adam’s fall How he hath condemn'd all in heli perpetual There for to dwell. In Bethlehem He was born, 0 thou Man: In Bethlehem He was bornFor mankind’s sake. In Bethlehem He was born Christmas day I’ the morn; Our Savior thought no scorn Our faults to take. M o th e r fo r C h ris tm a s, Sanfa’s Big Present 'B = :s Is the best Christmas ever!” exclaimed little John, aged five. “The best Christmas ever?” cried Jane, liis twin. “Why it’s just a million Christmases rolled into one. How do you suppose Santa Claus ever thought up anything so grand?” Tbe twins were truly in ecstasy. And who wouldn’t be? • For until this morning they had been motherless. Yes, they had never known a mother. And now, at dawn, when they stole down into the sitting room to look at their stockings hung on the mantle, there on the bear skin before the hearth just as Santa had left her, sat a beautiful, golden-liaired, blue-eyed doll? No, a mother. Her dress was of softest topaz color and all trailing and soft, just as a mother’s should be. On one of her pretty white fingers a big diamond gleamed In the. firelight, and under it was a plain gold band. Father seemed as happy as the twins about this Christmas mother. . “Santa is a wise old bird.” he said. But the Christmas mother did not answer him at all. She was buried under the embraces of the twins. And, anyway, she wasn’t father’s Christmas present. The Christmas card ''pinn«d to her sleeve said plain as day—"A mother for Jane and John.

The checkers of hats in large hotels have remarkable memories. Doubtless many young men were employed and discharged before one was found who could learn to take 300 hats from men entering the dining room and distribute them as the diners left, without checks and without au error. In a city lunch eon club with nearly 400 members, for example, says Edgar James fjwift, the usual method of paging a man who is wanted has been changed to asking the colored man In the hat room whether the man in question has ar rived. And a glance over the hat racks gives accurate information. Conversation with those who display this wonderful and peculiar memory has always brought essentially the same reply. They Have no system. They talk vaguely about something which, in psychological language, Is association between the appearance of the hat and the face of the owner.— Scribner's Magazine. Century-Old Woman Astronomer.

Pat had got a job as steward on board a liner and on his first trip h« was anxious to have everything as nice as possible so as to please the captain. Accordingly, the iirst thing he did was to have a good cleanout of the captain’s quarters, and among other things he polished up the tea service, of which the captain was very proud. UfffortunateJy1 he let the teapot slip overboard and it sunk like a stone to the bottom of the sea. He did not know what to do, but at last an idea struck him and, approach ing the captain, he said: "Captain, can anything be lost if you know where it is?” “No; certainly not,” replied the cap tain, rather sharply. “Well, sir,” retorted the Irishman, “your, silver teapot Is at the bottom of the Atlantic.

At last, with difficulty lie smiled. “You are not going to mala1 it easy for me, are you, Joan?” For Iier part she was not looking at him. She kept her eyes on the fire and this averted look distressed and irri tated his nerves. “I am not trying to make it liurd,” she said; “I want you to say what you came to say and go.” “Did you ever love me, Joan?” He had said it to force a look from her, but it had the effect only of mak ing her more still, if possible. 1 “I don’t know,” she said slowly, an swering with her old directness. "I thought you needed me. I was alone. I was scared of the emptiness when I went out and looked down the valley. I thought Pierre had gone out of the world and there was no living thing that wanted me. I came back and you met me and you put your arms round me and you said”—she closed her eyes and repeated his speech as though she had just heard it—“ ‘Don’t leave me, Joan.’ ” Her voice was more than ever be fore moving and expressive. Prosper felt that half-forgotten thrill. Tlie muscles of his throat contracted. “Joan, I did want you. I spoke the truth,” he pleaded. She went on with no impatience but very coldly. “You came to tell me your side. Will you tell me, please?” For the first time she looked into his eyes and he drew In his breath at the misery of liers. “I built that cabin, Joan,” he said, “for another woman.” “Your wife?” asked Joan. “No.” "For the one I said must have been like a tali child? She wasn’t your wife? She was dead?” Prosper shook his head. “No. Did you think that? Slie was a woman I loved at that time very dearly and she was already married to another man.” “You bnilt that house for her? I don’t understand.” “She had promised to leave her hus band and to come away with me. I had everything ready, those rooms, those clothes, those materials, and when I went out to get her, I had a message saying that her courage had failed her, that she wouldn’t come.” “She was a better woman than me,” said Joan bitterly. Prosper laughed. “By G—d, she was not! She sent me down to h—I. I couldn’t go back to the East again. I had laid very careful and elaborate plans. I was trapped out there in that horrible winter country . . .” “It was not horrible,” said Joan violently; "it was the most wonderful, beautiful country in all the world.” And tears ran suddenly down her face. But she would not let him come near to comfort her. “Go on,” she said presently. ‘Before you came, Joan,” Prosper went on, “it was horrible. Tt was like being starved. Everything in the house reminded me of—her, I had planned It all very carefully and we were to have been—happy. You can fancy what it was to be there alone.” Joan nodded. She was just and she was honestly trying to put herself in his place. “Yes,” she said; “If I had gone back and Pierre had been dead, his homestead would have been like that to me.” "It was because I was so miserable that I went out to hunt. I’d scout the country all day and half the night to tire myself out, that I could get some sleep. I was pretty far from home that moonlight night when I heard you scream for help . . .” Joan’s face grew whiter. “Don’t tell about that,” she pleaded. He paused, choosing another open ing. “After I had bandaged you and told you that Pierre was dead—and I honestly thought he was—I didn't know what to do with you. You couldn’t be left, and there was no neighbor nearer than my own house; besides, I had shot a man, and, per haps—I don’t know, maybe I was in fluenced by yonr beauty, by my own crazy loneliness. . . . You were very beautiful and very desolate. I was In a fury over the brute’s treat ment of you . . .” “Hush!” said Joan; “you are not to talk about Pierre.” Prosper shrugged. “I decided to take you home with me. I wanted you desperately, just, I believe, to take care of, just to be kind to—truly, Joan, I was lonely to the point of madness. Some one to care for, some one to talk to, was absolutely necessary to save my reason. So when I was lead ing you out, I—I saw Pierre’s hand move —” Joan stood up. After a moment she controlled herself with an effort and sat down again. ‘‘Go on. I can stand It,” she said. “And I thought to myself, The devil is alive and he deserves to be dead. This woman can never live with him "again. God wouldn't sanction such an a-t as giving Iier back to his hands.' And I was half-mad myself, I'd been alone so long . . . I stood so you couldn't see him, Joan, and I threw an elk-hide over him and led you out.” “I followed you; I didn’t look at Pierre; I left IiItn lying there,” gasped Joan. Prosper went on monotonously. “When I came back a week later, I thought he would be dead. It was dusk, the wind was blowing, the snow- was driving in a scud. I came down to the cabin and dropped below the drift by that northern wiiidow, and, the second I looked In, I dropped out of sight. Tliere was a light and a -fire. Your husband was lying before the fire on a cot. There was another man there, your Mr. HolIiwelI; they were talking, Holliwell was dressing Pierre’s wound. I went away like a ghost, and while I was going back, I thought It all out; and I decided to keep you for myself. I suppose,’’ said Prosper dully, “that that was a liorrible sin. I didn’t see it that way then. I’m not sure I see It that way now. Pierre had tied you up and pressed a white-hot iron into your liare shoulder. If you went back to him, if he took you back, how was I to know that he might not repeat his drunken devil try, or do worse, -if anything could be worse! It was the act of a fiend. It put him out of court with me. What ever I gave you. education and beau ty, and ease, must be better and hap pier for you than life with such a brute as Pierre—” “Stop!” said Joan between her teeth; “you know nothing of Pierre and me; you only know that one dreadful night. You don’t know—the rest.” “I don’t want to know the rest,” he said sharply; “that is enough to justify my action. I thought so then and I think so now. You won't he able to make me change that opinion.” “I shall not try,” said Joan. He accepted this and went on. “When I found you In your bed wait ed to comfort you* to put my liands on you in comfort, like a mother, I felt. And you went out like.you were angry and stayed away all night as Miougli you couldn’t bear to be seeing me again in your house that you had buill for her. So I wrote you my letter and went away. And then—it was ill so awful cold and empty. I didn’t know Pierre was out there. I came back ...” Tliey were both silent for a long time and in the silence the idyll was relived. Spring came again with its crest of green along the canyon and the lake lay like a turquoise drawing the glittering peak down into its heart. “My book—its success,” Prosper be gan at last, “made me restless. You’ll understand that now that you are an artist yourself. And one day there came a letter from that woman I had loved.” “It was a little square gray envel ope,” said Joan breathlessly. “I can see It now. You never rightly looked at me again.” “Ah!” said Prosper. He turned and hid his face. “Tell me the rest,” said Joan. He went on without turning back to her, Ills head bent. “The woman wrote that her husband was dying, that I must come back to her at once.” The snow tapped and the fire crackled. “And when you—went back?” “Her husband did not die,” said Prosper blankly; “he is still alive.” "And you still love her very much?” "That’s the worst of it, Joan,” groaned Prosper. His groan changed into a desperate laugh. “I love you. Now truly I do love you. If I could marry you—if I could have you for my wife—” He waited, breathing fast, then came and stood close be fore her. "I Imve never wanted a woman to be my wife till now. I want you. I want you to be the mother of my children." Tlien Joan did look at him with all her eyes. “I am Pierre’s wife,” she said. The liquid beauty had left her voice. It was hoarse and dry. “I am Pierre’s wife and I have already been the mother of your child.” There was a long, rigid silence. “Joan—when? — where?” Prosper’s throat clicked. “I knew It before you left. I couldn’t tell you because you were so changed. I worked ail winter. It— it was born on an awful cold March night. I think tlie woman let It— made it—die. She wanted me to work for her during the summer and she thought I would be glad If the child didn’t live. She used to say I was ‘in trouble’ and she’d be glad if she could ‘help me out.’ . . . It was what I was planning to live for . . that child.” During the heavy stillness following Joan’s dreadful, brief account of birth and death, Prosper went througli a strange experience. It seemed to him that in his soul something was born and died. .Always afterward there was a ghost in Iiim—the father that might have been. “I can’t talk any more,” said Joan faintly. “Won’t you please go?" “You Are Not Going to Make It Easy for Me, Are You, Joan?’’ ing for news of Pierre, I thought you the most beautiful, pitiful tiling I had ever seen. I loved you then, Joan, then. Tell me, did I ever In those days hurt you or give you a moment’s anxiety or fear?” “No,” Joan admitted, “you did not. In those days you were wonderful, kind and patient witli me. I thought you were more like God than a hu man, then.” Prosper laughed with bitterness. “You thought very wrong, but accord ing to my own lights, I was very care ful of you. I meant to give you all I could and I meant to win you with patience and forbearance. I had re spect for you and for your grief and for the horrible thing you Imd suf fered. Joan, by now you know better what the world is. Can yon reproach me so very bitterly for our—happi ness, even if it was short?” “You lied to me,” said Joan. “It wasn’t just. We didn’t start even. And—and you knew what you wanted of me. I never guessed.” “You didn’t? You never guessed?” “No. Sometimes, toward the last, I was afraid. I felt that I ought to go away. Tliat day I ran off—you re member—I was afraid of you. I felt you were bad and that I was bad, too. Then It seemed to me that I’d been dreadfully ungrateful and unkind. That was what began to make me give way to my feelings. I was sorrowful because I had hurt you and you so kind! The day I came in with that suit and spoke of—her as a 'tall child’ and you cried, why, I felt so sorrow ful that I'd made you suffer. I want- CHAPTER Vll Against the Bars. Jasper Morena had stood for an hour in a drafty passage of that dirty labyrinth known vaguely to the pub lic as “behind the scenes,” listening to the wearisome complaints of a long- nosed young actor. It was the sixth I of such conversations that he had held I that day; to begin with, there had j been a difficulty between a director ttd the leading man. Morena’s tact tftis stili complete; he was very gentle to the long-nosed youth; but the latter, had he been capable of seeing any thing but himself, must have noticed that his listener’s face was pale and faintly lined. “Yes, my boy, of course, that's rea sonable enough. I’ll do what I can." “I don’t make extravagant demands, you see,” the young man spread down and out his hands, quivering with ex aggerated feeling; “I ask only for de cent treatment, what my own self-re spect ab-so-lute-ly demands.” Morena put a hand on his shoulder and walked beside him. “Did. j-ou ever stop to think,” he said with Iiis charming smile, “that the other fellow is thinking and saying just the same thing? Now, this chap that has, as you put it, got your goat, why, he came to me himself this morn ing, and, word for word, he said of 3’ou just precisely what you have just said of him to me. Odd, Isn’t it?” Again tiie young actor stopped for one of his gestures, hands up this time. “But, my G—d, sir! Is there such a thing as honesty? He couldn’t accuse me of—’’ ‘Well, he thought he could. Howev er, I do get your point of view and I think we can fix it up for you so that you’ll get off with your self-re spect entirely intact. I’ll talk to George tomorrow. You're worth the bother. Good afternoon.” The young man bowed, his air of tragic injury softened to one of tragic self-appreciation. Worth the bother, indeed I Morena left him at the top of the dingy stairs down which the munasrer fled to an alley at one side of the theater, where his car was waiting for him. He stood for a while with his foot on the step and Iiis hand on the door, looking rather blankly at the gray, cold wall and the scurrying whirlwinds of dust and paper. “Drop yourself at the garage. Ned,” he said, “and I’ll take the car.” (TO BE CONTINUED.) Dartmouth college has determined not to accept more than 2,000 stu dents.

STiaAQB JSbb Beautiful and Common Tree In Tropl- cal America Holds Liquid in Leaves. The name “rain tree” has been given to a beautiful and very common tree of tropical America. The name is prob ably due to the fact that the tree has the habit of closing its leaflets before and during rains, and not to any ten dency to shed water from the leaves. The original rain tree story, as found in the narratives of early voyagers hack as far as the Fifteenth century, located the tree in Oje island of Ferro, one of the Canaries. This island has no springs and a scanty rainfall, bat, according to the story, derived an am- pie supply of fresh water from a Bln- gle tree. The natives say that the famous rain tree that once supplied the whole Island was blown down In a storm.—* Detroit News. f t Told by a Clergyman. “A strapping big fellow the other day brought a demure little lass to the parsonage in order that they might be joined In the bonds of matrimony. “In accordance with my custom I turned to the bridegroom at a certain part of the ceremony and said.

The world knew his kindness and his humanity, his greatness and his character. He has left his mark upon history. He has made Justice more certain and peace more secure. The surpassing tribute paid to his memory as he waB borne across the oontlnent to rest at last at home revealed, the place he held In the hearts of the American people. But this is not the occasion for extended reference to the man or his work. In this presence, among those who knew and loved him, that is unnecessary. But we who were associated with him could not resume together the functions of our office without pausing for a.moment, and In his memory reconsecrating ourselves to the service of our country. He is gone. We remain. It is our duty, under the inspiration of hlB example, to take up the burdens which he was permitted to lay down, and to develop and support the wise principles of government which he represented.Foreign Affairs. For us peace reigns everywhere. We desire to perpetuate It always by granting full Justice to others and requiring of others full justice to ourselves.Our country has one cardinal principle to maintain In its foreign policy. It Is an American principle. It must be an American policy. We attend to our own affairs, conserve our own strength, and protect the Interests of our own citizen*; but we recognize thoroughly^ our obligations to help others, reserving to the decision of our own judgment the time, the place, and the method. We realize the common bond of humanity. We know the Inescapable law of service. <Our country has definitely refused to adopt and ratify the covenant of the League of Nations. We have not felt warranted In assuming the responsibilities which its members have assumed.I am not proposing any change In this policy; neither Is the senate. The incident, so far as we are concerned, is closed.World Court., Our foreign policy has always been guided by two principles. The one Is the avoidance of permanent political alliances which would sacrifice our proper independence. The other is the peaceful settlement of controversies between nations. By example' and by treaty we have advocated arbitration. For nearly 25.years we'have been- a member of The Hague tribunal, and have long sought the creation of a permanent World Court of Justice. I am in full accord with both of these policies. I favor the establishment of such a court intended to Include -the whole world. That is, and has long been, an American policy.Russia. Our diplomatic relations, lately so largely interrupted, are now being resumed, but Russia presents notable difficulties. We have every desire to see that great people, who are our tradi tlonal friends, restored, to. their position among the nations of the' earth. We have relieved their pitiable destitution with an enormous charity. Our government offers no objection to the carrying on of commerce by our citizens with the people of Russia. Our government does not propose, however, to enter into relations with another regime which refuses to recognize the sanctity of international obligations. I do not propose to barter away for the privilege of trade any of the cherished rights of humanity. I do not propose to make merchandise of any American principles. These rights and principles must go wherever the sanctions of our government go. But while the favor of America is not for sale, I am willing to make very large concessions for the purpose of rescuing the people* of Russia. Already encduraging evidences of returning to the ancient ways of society can be 'detected. But more are needed. D e b t s . The current debt and interest due from foreign governments, exclusive *of the British debt of 54,600.000.000, is about 87,- *w,OuO,OOQ. I do not favor the cancellation of this debt, but I see no objection to MJusting in accordance with the principle adopted for the British debt. Our country would , not Wish to assume the role of an oppressive creditor, but would maintain the principle that financial obligations between nations are likewise moral obligations which' International, iaith and honor require should be discharged.

Som uannot all be undertaken at once, ij a, abouW have the Immediate consideration of the congress and be adopted as fast as plans can be matured and tne neqessary funds become available. Railroads. CrltIclBm of the railroad law. has been directed, first, to the section laying down the rule by which rates are fixed, and providing for payment to the government and use of excess earnings; second, to the method for the adjustment of wage scales; and third, to the authority permitting consolidations.It has been erroneously assumed that the aot undertakes to guarantee railroad earnings. The -Iaw requires that rateJ should be Just and reasonable. That has always been the rule under which rates have been fixed. To make a rate that does not yield a fair return, results In confiscation, and confiscatory rates are of course unconstitutional. Unless the government adheres to the rule of making a . rate that will yield a fair return, it must abandon rate making altogether. The new and important feature of that part of the law Is the recapture and redistribution of excess rates. The constitutionality of this method Is now before the Supreme courtZor adjudication. Their decision should be. awaited before attempting further legislation on this subject. Furthermore, the Importance of this feature will not be great if consolidation goes into effect.The settlement of railroad labor disputes Ie a matter of grave public con* cern: The labor board was established to protect the public in the enjoyment of continuous service by attempting to insure Justice between the companies and their employees. It has been a -reat help, but is not altogether satisfactory to the public, the employees. or the companies. If a substantial agreement can be reached among the groups Interested, there should be no hesitation in enacting such agreement into law. If it is not reached, the labor board may very well be left for the present to protect the public welfare. * Department of Justice. As no revision of the laws of the United States has been made since 1S78. a commission or committee should be created to undertake this wqrk. The judicial council reports ,that two more district judges are needed In the southern district of New York, one In the northern district of Georgia, and two more circuit Judges In the Circuit Court of Appeals of the .Eighth, circuit.

This is the American policy, iIt is In accordance with this principle that we have enacted laws for the protection of the public health and have adopted prohibition In narcotic drugs and. Intoxicating liquors. For purposes of national uniformity we ought to' provide, by constitutional amendment and appropriate legislation, for a limitation of child labor, and In all cases under the ex-, elusive jurisdiction of the federal government a minimum wage law for worn-, en, which would undoubtedly find sufficient power of enforcement^ In the influence of public opinion. I Immigration. American institutions rest solely. W good citizenship. They were created by people who had a background of self- government. New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb, them into the ranks of good citizenship. America must be kept American. For this purpose It is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration. It would be well to make such Immigration of a selective nature with, some inspection at the source, and based either on a - prior census or upon the ‘ record of naturalization Veterans, No more Important duty falls on the government of-the United SUtes than the adequate care of its veterans. Those suffering disabilities incurred In the service must have sufficient hospital relief and compensation. Their dependents must be supported. Rehabilitation and vocational training must be completed. AU of this service must be clean, must be prompt and effective, and It'must be administered In a spirit of the broadest and deepest human sympathy. If investigation reveals any present defects of. administration or need of legislation; orders will be given for the immediate correction of- administration, and recommendations for legislation should be'given the highest preference. But I do not favor the granting of a bonus. " • ,Coal. J IE* UK HtS TENliES ILL HEALTH AND FEAR IS CAUSE OF SEVERAL OF THE TRAGIDIES. JUMPS PROM TWELFTH STORY Five Victims End Life By Inhaling Gast One By Hanging, One Drowns; I . Terrible Day. The cost of coal has become unbearably high. It places a great burden on our. industrial and domestic life; The public welfare requires a reduction In the price of fuel.. With the enormous deposits In existence, failure of supply ought. not to be tolerated. Those responsible for the conditions in this industry should undertake its reform and free it from. any. charge of profiteering. iThe report of the coal commission' will be before the congress. It comprises all the facts It represents the mature deliberations and conclusions of the tfest talent and experience that ever made a national survey of the production and distribution of fuel. I do not favor government ownership or operation of coal mines. The need is for action under private ownership that will secure greater continuity of production and greater public protection.'.Reorganization. j A special joint committee has been appointed to work out a plan for a re-j organization of the different departments and bureaus of the. government more scientific and economical than the present system. With the exception of the consolidation of the War and Navy departments and some minor details.the plan has the genieral sanction , of tue President, and the cabinet. It is' xne prohibition amendment to the Constitution requires-the congress and the President to provide adequate laws to prevent its violation It Is my duty to enforce such laws For that purpose a treaty is being negotiated with Great Britain with respect* to the right of search of hovering vessels. To prevent smuggling, the coast guard should he greatly strengthened, and a supply of swift power boats should be provided. The major sources of production should be rigidly regulated, and every'effort should be made to suppress interstate traffic. With this action, on the part of the national government, and the co-operation which is usually rendered by municipal and state authorities. prohibition should be made effective. Free government has no greater^ menace than disrespect for authority and continual! violation of law. Tt is the duty pf a citizen not only to-observe* the law but to let It be known that He is opposed to its' violation The Negro. Numbered among our population are some 12,000,000 colored people. Under our Constitution their rights are just as'sacred as those of any other citizen.It is both a public and a private duty to protect those rights; The congress firm foundation rests the otUy hope of progress and prosperity. From * that wurce must come relief for the people.This being accomplished by a drastic put orderly retrenchment, which Is bringing our expenses within our means. The origin of this has been the determinationthe American people, the main support has been the courage of those Inauthority, and the effective method has often the budget system. The result has involved real sacrifice by department Oftads, but it has been made without ihnuhing. This system is a law of thefongiess. It represents your will, it ™ust be maintained, and ought - to belengthened by the example of yopr ob- JefVance. Without a, budget system Jhere can be no. fixed responsibility and 80 constructive scientific ecoriomy.Tariff Law. The present tariff law has accomplished ns two main objects. It has secured an Jioundant revenue and been productive ot an abounding prosperity. Under It joe c^ountry has had a. very ,large_%x.-. JOfI and import trade. A constant re- IJJJon of the tariff by the congress is Cfl Vir g and harmful. The present law thJJ Dins an elastic provision authorizing “•ft “resident to Increase or decrease pres ought to exercise all Its powers of prevention and punishment against the hideous crime of lynching, of which the negroes are by no means the sole sufferers, but for which they furnfcrh a majority of the victims/- Regulatory Legislation. Co-operation with other maritime pow? ers is necessary for complete protection of our coast waters from pollution. Plans for this are under way. but await certain experiments for refuse disposal. Meantime laws prohibiting spreading oil and oil refuse from vessels In our own territorial waters would be most helpful against this menace and should be speedily enacted.TAws should be passed regulating avi- lmportant that reorganization be en-: acted Into law at the present session.Agriculture. I Aided by the sound principles adopt-! ed by the government, the business ofj the country has had an extraordinary- revival. Looked at as a whole, the nation is In the enjoyment of remarkable prosperity. Industry and commerce are thriving. For the most part agriculture Ii successful, eleven staples having risen in value from about 85,- 300.000.000 two years ago to about 37,- 000.000,000 for the ‘current year. But range cattle are still low In price, and some sections of the wheat area, notably Minnesota. North Dakota, and on west, have many cases of actual distress. With his products not seUlnff on a parity, with the isroducts dustry, every sound remedy that can be devised should be applied far the relief of the farmer. IThe distress is most acute among, those wholly dependent upon one crop.: Wheat acreage was greatly expnnded and has not yet been sufficiently re-* duced. A large amount is raised for export, which has to meet the compe-, tition In the .world market of large: amounts raised on land much cheaper and much more productive. |No complicated scheme of relief, no plan for government fixing of prices, nO resort to the public treasury will be of any permanent value in establishing agriculture Simple and direct methods put into operation by the farmer himself are the only real sources for restoration. jMuscle Shoals. , DOINGS IN THE TAR HEEL STATE NEWS OF NORTH CAROLINA TOLD IN SHORT PARA GRAPHS FOR BUSY PEOPLE ' New , York.—Ten suicides were re corded in one day in the metropolitan district A man believed to be M- E.

For several years we have been decreasing ,the personnel of the -army and navy, and reducing .,their power to thedanger point. Further-reductions should not be made. The army Is a guarantee of the security of our citizens at home; the navy is a guarantee of the security of our citizens abroad Both of these servlceB should be strengthened rather than weakened. Additional planes are needed for the army, and additional submarines for the navy. <Education and Welfare. Our national government is not doing as much as It legitimately can do to promote the-welfare, of the people. Our enormous material wealth, .our institutions. our whole form of BOClety, cannot be considered fully successful until their benefits reach the merit of every Individual. This is not a suggestion that the government should, or could, assume for Ihe: people the inevitable burdens of existence. This Is no method by which we can either be relieved of the .results The government Is undertaking to develop a great water power project known as Muscle Shoals, on which it has expended many million dollars. The work Is still going on. Subject to the right to retake In time of war. I recommend that this property with a location for auxiliary steam plant and rights of way be sold. This would end the present burden of expense and should return to the treasury the largest price possible to Se cure.Reclamation. By reason of many contributing caused, occupants of our reclamation projects are In financial difficulties, which In some cases are acute. . Relief should be granted by definite authority of law empowering the secretary of the Interior In his discretion to-suspend, readjust, and reassess all charges against water users. This whole question is beings considered by experts. ^ , . IHighways and Forests. Highway and reforestation should con-! tlnue to have the interest and support of the government Everyone is anxious for good highways; I have made a liberal proposal In the budget for the continuing payment to the states by the federal government of it share for this necessary public . improvement. No expenditure of public money contributes so much to the national wealth as for building good roads. ■ ;Reforestation has an Importance far above the attention it usually secures. A speclaf committee of the senate Is Investigating -this need; and* I shall .welcome a constructive policy based on. their report. * Monroe Doctrine.* Growth Shown By Wilmington Harbor. Wilmington.—That the number of ships making the port of WHinington U steadily increasing is Indicated by the customs house records. During the past month the tonnage , of the ships ci iering and clearing from ^Wilming ton totaled 76,647* as agalrst 58,730 for November, 1922, a gain of 19,917 tons In favor of the past mouth over the same month last year.- The tonnage of the vessels enter ing last month from foreign and do mestic amounted to $34,546; the ton nage of those clearing for foreign and domestic ports was 42,19i. In No vember, 1922, the figures were: Ves sels clearing for foreign and domes tic ports, 28,274; vessels arriving from foreign and domestic ports, 30,456. A most substantial gain was shown in the tonnage of vessels clearing foreign this year over those of Novem ber, 1922. Last month the tonnage of the foreign clearances. were 42,191 as against but 28,274 for the same month last year. The nejt gain was 13,917 tons. . It Is 100 years-since our country announced the Monroe doctrine. This principle has been ever since, and Is now, one of the main foundations of our foreign relations; It must be maintained. But In maintaining It we must not forget that a great change-" has taken place. We are no longer a weak nation, , thinking mainly of defense, dreading foreign imposition. We are great and powerful. New powers bring new responsibilities. ^Our duty then was to protect ourselves. Added to that, our duty now is to help give stability, to the world; We want idealism. We want that vision which lifts men and nations above themselves. These are virtues by. reason of their own merit. But they must' not be cloistered; they must not be Impractical; they must not be Ineffective. America has taken her place hi the world as a republic—free, independent, powerful. The ,best service* that can be rendered to mhnanity is the assurance, that this place will ' be maintained.

By FREDERIC BOUTET AID Mme. Mourlinet ■' “And the Julllns—we must think of them. .W hat are, we going to give thenf this year?” Mme. Mourline’s ques tion put a damper on the gayety of her hus band and her daughter. A-chill seemed to settle down in the dining room, where they were all three still 'sitting about the table and talking. JI. Mourllne had just promised' his wife -an umbrella with an ivory handle and his daughter, a coral necklace. H ejras pleased with himself. Now he looked worried. Si mone Mourllne, 'who was eighteei^.and had set her heart on the. necklace, also became uneasy. ~ Te*." Mrae. Mourllne repeated with emphasis, “what are we going to give the Julllns?” “That’s right! That’s right I Whal are we going to give thein?" M. Mour- Iine murujured. ' > "You understand it must' be Some thing nice this year. WetIlj have to stand the extra cost somehow.

But that isn’t possible now, when they have an income of 150,000 francs.” As if to render h'omage to that sum she had Involuntarily raised her, voice,, The Julllns, whose fortune dated back only a few months;. were the Mour- Unes’ best friends, Jullln and Mour llne, fellow students at law school and afterward employees In the same gov ernment department, had met at the same entertainment the two young women, well , brought up but without dowries; whom they had made their wives. The two households—each had a single daughter—possessed about the same resources and lived in a sim ilar manner. For years they enjoyed a tranquil intimacy, sharing the same modest pleasures and strivings to be mutually sympathetic and agreeable. An unexpected event had shattered this intimacy. IL , Jullln’s . brother, .considered up to then a. black sheep, had suddenly. ..acquired . a ' fortune through some risky operations which had succeeded beyond all expectation. Intoxicated >b> his wealth, so miracu lously attained, he wanted, as he said, to make up for lost tiihe. After two years of excesses' he died. -The Jul- lins, his only heirs, found' themselves millionaires. Certainly, they had' re mained the same to their dear friends, the Mourllnes. M.; Jullin exhibited no pride because he was able to quit the governments service and spend his days driving an ..automobile, Mme. JulUn avoided ail ostentation In wear ing hgr collar of pearls and Mile. Jul- Iln always found SImoneIg simple dresses charming. But the Mourllnes, without wishing to show it or even to admit it, suffered all Uie same from a feeling, of inequality. TheyTio long er took any pleasure In associating with their old friends. Money had come between the two families, like a barrier-which neither could Ignore. : "Come,” Mme. Mourllne began again, addressing her husband, “you know I am right. It Is a question of dignity. We have had to endure' a - good: deal since they became rich. I don’t envy thenj/or criticize them, but you must admit that it Isn’t agreeable to enter tain them jiere In this little apartment, with a single maid of all work, and afterward to dine with them at ttieir home, where-everything is In grand style, with a butler and valet de cham- Ijre.

It put a great strain on the family budget. But the Mour- Iines had the consciousness of having done the proper thing, and on , Christ mas morning they awaited with per fect security the arrival of the pres ent from the’julllns. There was a ring at the doorbell. It was a message • from the Julllns, with a package and a* letter. The letter read: “Dear Friends—We send you only a little' souvenir. Nothing at ail! We are sure that we shall give yon pleas ure In 'offering you, as In the, past, a knicknack Whichj has no value except that ..it represents an old and faithful friendship.” . . In the package was a miserable little bonbonniere In painted porcelain, worth about twelve and a half francs. There was a sllencft charged with astonishment and lndtgiiatlon. , “Is that the Jiillins’ magnificent present?" said Simone' at last Mme. Mourllne trembled with anger. She seized the bonbonniere and dashed it to pleces’ on the marble hearth. "That’s what I care- for their old friendship!” ‘ M. Mourllne made an Ironic gesture. “Meanwhile they have'' your jardin iere at 340 francs'!" . M. JulUn, In fact, was unwrapping the jardiniere at that very moment Seeing It, 'he gave a start and.’called his wife. y !4Look at the'present the Mourllnes have sent us.

He was, very tired, but he had remem bered that Jane West, when he had last seen her, - had worn a look of profound discouragement. She never complained, but when he saw that particular expression he was fright ened and the responsibility for her came heavily upon him. This' wild thing he had brought to New^ York must not be allowed to beat Its head dumbly against the bars. When he had got rid of his driver, he turned the car ^northward, and a few minutes later Mathilde, ,the French maid chosen by Betty, opened Jane’s door to him. While he took off his coat he looked along the haU and saw its owner sit ting, her chin propped on a lattice work of fingers. She was gazing out of the window. It was a beautiful, desperate silhouette; something- fate ful In the long, still pose and the fixed look. She was still dressed in street clothes as when she had left, the theater, a blouse and skirt of dark gray, very plain. Her figure, now that It was trained to slight corseting, was less vigorous ami more*fine-drawn. She was very thin, but she had lost her worn Vnd haggard look; the' pre mature hard, lines had almost disap peared ; a softer climate, proper care, rest, food, luxury had given back her young, clear skin and the brightness of eyes and lips. Her hair, arranged vegy. simply to frame her face in a broken setting of black, was glossy, and here and there, deeply waved. It Was the arrangement chosen for her by Betty and, copied from a Du- Maurler drawing of the duchess of Towers. It was hard to believe that this graceful woman was the virago Jano1 harder for any one that had seen a heavy, handsome girl strlde'Tnto Mrs. Upper’s hotel and ask for work, to believe that she was here. - Morena clapped his hands In the eastern fashion of summons, and-Jane looked toward him. "Oh,” she said, “I’m glad you came.” He strolled In and stood beside her shaking his head. “I didn’t like the look of you this afternoon, my dear.” ‘.‘Well, sir,” said Jane, “I don’t like the look of you, either.” She smiled her slow, unself-conscious smile. “You sit dpwn and I’ll make tea for you.” He knew that thought for some one else was the best tonic for her mood". lonely places-—why, it would be scared -to follow Into this city.” “You’re lonely, Jane. Tve told you a hundred times that you ought to make friends for yourself.” - "Oh,, I don’t care for that. I ddn’t want friends, ■ not many friends. These acting people, they’re not real folks. I don’t savvy their ways and ,they don't savvy mine. They always end by disliking me because Fm queer and different from them. You have been my friend, and your wife— that is, she used to be.” Suddenly Jane became more her usual self and spoke with childlike wistfulness. “She doesn’t come to see mb any more, Mr. Morena. And I could love her. She’s so like a little girl with those round .ayes—” Jane held up two circles made -by forefingers and thumbs to represent Betty’s round eyes. “Oh, dear!” she said; “isn’t she awfully winning; Seems as if you must be taking care of her, She’s so small and fine.” Jasper laughed with some • bitter -ness. ‘ - ‘■‘She doesn’t dike me now,” sighed. Jane, but the feelings Betty had'hurf’ were connected with a later develop ment so that they turned her mood- arid brought her to a more normal dejec tion. She was no longer a caged beast, she had temporarily forgotten her bars. ' “I think -you’re wrong,” said JaS-v per doubtfully. “Betty does like you. She’s merely busy and preoccupied. I’ve been neglected myself.” Jane-gave him a far too expressive look. It was as though she had said, "You don’t fancy that Vlje cares for you?” Jasper flushed and blinked jhls long, Oriental eyes. “It's a ‘ pity you ' haven’t a lover, Jane.” he said.She had walked over jto the window, and his speech, purposely a trifle cruei and insulting, did not make her turn. “You’re angry,” she said. “You’d grace, Into the nfcarest chair, put back his head and half-closed his eyes.

I surely wouldn’t take It as a compli ment.” She miyjecthe tea gravely, as absorbed In the work as a little girl who makes tea for her dolls. She brought him his cup and went back to her place and again her face settled into that look. She had evidently for gotten him and her eyes held a vision as of distances.

Her face was like that of some one-mad- “You don’t smell anythlng-fresh’’- her chest lifted—Jyou don’t get .air, I can’t breathe.

Their absence gave him a faint sensation of alarm. “Mr. Kane, Mrs. Morena’s brother, has called to see you, sir. He is wait- tag.” Jasper’s eyebrows rose; “To see me? Is he with' Mrs. Morena now?” • I- “No, sir. -Mrs. Morena went out this morriing and has not yet returned. Mr. ICane has been here since five o’clock, sir.” “ .' ,“Very well.” ^It was a mechanical speech of dis missal.- The footman went off. Jas per stood tapping his chin with his finger. Woodward Kane come to- see him during BettyV absence! Wood ward had not spoken more than three or four icy words of necessity to him since the marriage. After a stiff, un gracious fashion- this brother had be friended Betty, but to his Jewish brother-in-law he had shown only a :slightly disguised distaste. The Jew was well used to such a manner. He treated it with light bitterness, but he did not love to receive the users of it. in his own bouse. It was with, heightened color and bent brows that he pushed apart the long, -crimson' hangings and came into the immense drawing-room. \ It w’as softly lighted and pleasantly warmed. A fire burned. The tall, fair visitor rose from a seat near the blaze- and turned all In one rigid piece to ward his advancing host. Jasper was perfectly conscious that his own ges ture and speech of greeting were too eager, too ingratiating, that they had a touch of servility. ; He hated them fiimself, but they- were inherited with his blood, as instinctive as the wag ging of a dog’s tail. They were met by a precise bow, no smile, no taking of his outstretched hand. Jasper drejv himself up at once, pUt the slighted’'hand on the back of a tall, crimson-damask chair, and looked his stateliest and most handsome self. "Betty hasn’t come In yet,” he said. “You’ve been waiting for her?” Woodward Kane pulled at Ws sliort, THAT PAININYfiUR T MEANS I TAKEN GOLD But Don’t .

She came to me this morn ing.” Jasper’s fingers tightened on the chair. “She is sick?” "No.” There was a pause during which the Liarik, blue eyes staring at him slowly gathered a look of cold pleasure. Jasper was aware that this man who hated him was enjoying his present mission. • “Sfiall we, sit down?- I shall have to take a good deal of your time,..

It was Betty’s paper and her angular, boy? Isb writing marched across it. Evi3 dently the note was addressed to him.

Licrease Egg P roduction by E fficien t Henhousies . The raising of poultry - Is one im portant factor in'the solution of the ■ farm nSeat problem not only to' furnish I a change from pork and beef in the ' wintertime but to take the place of the smoked or cured meats which are or dinarily used during the warm weath er. Bggs also -form an important part of the diet. ) Every poultry raiser should endeavor to maintain egg production throughout the year. Under natural conditions hens lay most in the spring as they, can get out In the open air and sun light. Keeping hens In the dark, cold poultry houses practically stops egg production from November to Feb ruary. . _ However, through the use of a con crete poultry house, W. H. Gardner, an Illinois poultry raiser- was' able to maintain spring rating output in his 1 1 vi nira Concrete Poultry House of W. H. Gardner of Itllnois. poultry flock throughout the winter. The Increased egg ^production ha* many times repaid him the amount in vested. His house shown in the illus tration is 16 feet wide and 80 feet long. The front wall is five feet high and the rear wall five feet six inches. The low walls help conserve the heat given off by the fowls. The house has a south exposure with practically all windows and other openings on the south side. Plenty of sunlight deals death to disease germs. Concrete con struction permits the most complete sanitation because the house can very easily be cleaned And kept clean. It goes without saying that rats cannot gnaw through nor find nesting place in the concrete house. The smooth dry, concrete floor, walls', and foundation provide no cracks nor crevices to har bor lice, mites or other parasites which cause the poviltryman so much worry and loss. ' Mr. Gardner’s experience with his poultry house shows that increased egg production from a flock of 400 fowls amounts to sufficient to pay for the house in four months. S caly Leg o f Chickens Is V ery Common A ilm e n t Scaly leg of chickens is a very com mon condition in the farm flock and one that causes considerable loss in the egg basket. It is^caused by the boring of a' small mite into the 'flesh of the feet and legs, causing a secre tion which hardens on the legs, form ing scales. The mites are embedded in the flesh of the legs and feet and In order to kill them they must be treated with a penetrating oil. ' • The best treatment is the constant application' of an ointment made of I part of oil of caraway to S parts of petroleum' jelly "Use until tli’e legs are clean.- .Another method is ..to take a quart can full of kerosene and dip the legs to within an inch of the knees In the oil. Great care should be ex; erci’sed in preventing any of the oil from- getting on the feathers as it- will blister. the skin underneath. The mite that gives the most trouble is.foimd where fowls are confined od dry barren runs,-or on soils filled with ashes or cinders. . - Selecting V arieties to S tart New Chicken Flock In'selecting varieties to start, a new flock, fancy ...breeds -are usually let alone by any one who does .not make a business or a pastime of poultry- keeping.- It is pleasant for a person who keeps but a dozen or twenty hens to have them of some choice breed, and to take great pains with them; studying' into their habits, their “points”, and all that. But- few per sons-have either the taste or inclina tion to be successful breeders; so, as a .rule, it is best to keep common, or mixed hens, but a full-blooded cock of one of the best breeds. - - Geese In Small Flocks.. Geese-can be raised in small num bers successfully and at.a'profit on many farms where tfiere is low, rough pasture land containing a natural sup ply “of-water They need a house only during cold or stormy weather, when an open shed should be_providdd. ; - Most Popular Geese Breeds.

F o r y o u r o w t i p r o t e c t i o n — T h e peril of the road crossing has become a national problem w ith the m ultiplication of automobiles. T h e Southern R ailw ay System has eliminated 584 grade crossings, and is eliminating m ore every year, but 7,000 rem ain to be separated, on this system done. T h e total cost to complete the w ork is a stupendous sum — probably lhalf as m uch as the cost to build the railroads. - E ven if the m oney w ere available, _ and the' public w illing to pay the in creased freight and passenger :rates . necessary, to provide a fair return on- : it, m any years w ould be required to ■ do the w ork. Protection from the peril for the pres ent generation at least m ust be found in some other, w ay. Trains cannot stop at every crossing if they are to be run at the sustained speed expected by the public and required to carry the com merce of the country. Thetraincrosses a highw ay about every mile. The mo torist encounters a railroad only oc casionally. I t is necessary, therefore, for the automobile driver to stop in order to avoid risk. N o one w ho did this was ever killed. In N o rth Carolina, where the la w now requires such a stop, the num ber of road crossing accidents on our lines has been reduced one-half. Gradecrossingaccidentscanbepre- - vented if you w ill approach the zone of danger determined to exercise caution For Your Own Protection. Jt is better business to save a life than to save a minute* P erso n a lR esp o n sib ility (Reprinted from the Saturdmy Evening Post) Final dependence for a reduction In the number of railroad grade- crossing disasters must be placed upon the individual’s sense of re sponsibility#''Ifiwhen approaching- arid crossing a,railroad at grade the traveler will think of that cross ing as a zone of danger to him, and regard himself and those with' him'as in imminent danger until ’ the crossing is completed, the chances of accidents will be auto matically reduced to the minimum.

To accuse the people of being “ fools” and “ cowards” may relieve his feelings somewhat but it convinces the people that the ex president's usefulness ended some time ago.

M ORRIS. Powers and Carelessness of County Boards of Education. M r. Editor:— One thing Icannot understand; in regard to the order ing of elections for the creation of new or consolidated school districts by our board of education. Why do they not follow and. observe the law in relation thereto? They have gone ahead and approved the petition, and the Oounty Commissioners have ordered an election in an entire township in which is located a special tax district, when under the law, Article IT. Section 226 the law, spe cifically says; that the election must be held in tbe new territory. I an not opposed to schools or better schools—we need more and better ones than we now have, but Iet3 have them according to law. There is a disposition on the part of a great many people, and some of them are officers entrusted w ith carrying out the law— to run things, over the peo ple regardless of whether it is legal or illegal. The County Superintend ent has the laws, and 'it is .hie of-, ficial duty to examine all petitions and find out what the laws are be fore giving his endorsement to same and asking the Board of Education to act upon it. Local self govern ment is almost a name in North Carolina, and especially so in our public school system, the people who pay the taxes and have children to educate, have but little say so, or authority over their -schools, under the autocratic system built up by that greatest of- Autocratic Books Those who pay the. fiddler, should have a right to dance, but under his great and glorious democratic sys tem—the people stand afar and look on while the official oligarchy runs the machine We denounce and Christmas Seal Honor R oll. j Below are tbe names of organiza tion and individuals to data-who are ^o much interested in the-welfare of tbe people that they have made an investment of $5 OO fo r a Health Bond. -The money to be used to im prove health conditions iri our coro- Jnunitv.

F ly e r s t o Trip Will Show Ease of Commu nication Between the Continents; Washington. — Secretary of War Weeks has formally approved the nroject for a flight of four or five army airplanes around the world next spring and summer. This flight, the most ambitious un dertaking of" the, army air service, Is Intended to demonstrate the feasibil ity with which aerial communication may be established between the vari ous continents and to obtain data concerning the operation of/ present type airplanes under varying climatic conditions. . - As now planned, the personnel for tlie flight AVlli consist of four commis sioned officers and four enlisted men, ,,ell qualified for a long and arduous tti»lit. The selection of personnel. is no°w under consideration by Haj. Gen. Mason SI. Patrick, ,chief of the air service, and his associates. Await Foreign^ Approval. Until authority - has--bgen- received from all foreign governments whose territory will be visited " the exact route of the flight will not be-deter mined. The route tentatively mapped out follows: Leave Washington about the mid- die of SIarch and proceed to Seattle. Depart from Seattle about April I, fly ing northward along the coast of Can- «(ia and southern Alaska. Tliey will fly across the Aleutian Island's, down through the possessions ot Japan, along the shores of China, French Indo;China, Siam and Burma, across India, up the Persian .gulf, across Turkey and Europe to England, thence north through the Faroe islands to Iceland, thence tc Greenland and. southward along the eastern shore of tlie continent to Cape Farewell, Green land, from which point a direct flight will be made to Hamilton Inlet on the Laborador coast, thence southward along the Canadian shore and up the St. ,Lawrence river to Quebec and Montreal, from which ‘point the flight ,will proceed to Washington,, thus com pleting the circumference of the globe via the air. \ ^ This Itinerary has been worked out tentatively In the expectation that It will enable the flyers to dodge the rainy seasons In the United States and India' and Insure flight over Ice*, land- and Greenland during August and September. Existing airway facilities will be •followed In the United States, south ern Japan, and between Indian and London. The Intervening sections of the long route will be given further study by experienced pilots, who will proceed. over the route prior to the arrival of the flight.

First Station Organized in 1639 at Boston to Sell Wine and Strong Water. i Boston.—Two hundred and eighty- four years ago the first post office In the United States was established In Boston, and the celebration of the anniversary this month recalled the manner of its founding. It had been the custom In those days for the citizens of Boston to troop on board the packets which ar rived from overseas In. quest of let ters and other tidings from' England. That was all very well for a while, but- as the population grew the habit became a nuisance to the skippers, who objected to having their decks made Impromptu: delivery offices and the none too spacious quarters below crowded with men and women. So the general court (as the Massa chusetts IegIslaturie always has been P art of Muscle Shoals Proiect called) stepped in. In 1688 it ruled that Richard Fairbanks (on . the site of whose home the Boston Globe building now stands) was to take charge of and distribute letteft from abroad. “For preventing the miscarriage of letters,” the quaint order read, "and It Is. ordered that notice be given that Richard Fairbanks his house In Bos ton Is-the place appointed for . all let ters'which are brought from beyond the-seas, or .are'to be sent hither, are to bee brought unto. An hee Is to- take care that they bee delivered or sent-according to. their .directions, arid hee' is allimed for' every such- let ter C penny.” Gilven Liquor Permit. John Winthrop was governor when Fairbanks was appointed. The latter had a permit to sell “wine and strong water,” and over his bar the men of Boston sipped their ale and read their mail and talked of the tidings from far away. Fairbanks acted as postmaster un til 1677. In January, 1673, the general court made provision for a domestic postal service, the carriers to be paid three pence per mile for their serv ices., .Twenty, years later the Ameri can post office was established and In .1695 a coach and mail service was be gun between Boston, and-Hartford.

Hi^ pallor was noticeable. “You say mj —infidelity is common- talk. There bas been ajiarue used!” “Your protegee from Wyomjng— Jaiie West." Jasper was on his feet, and Wood-; irard, too, rose, jerkily holding up. a land.. “No excitement, please,''1 he begged. “Let us conduct this unfor tunate interview like gentlemen, -if possible.” Jasper laughed. “As you say—If possible. ' Whj». man, Jt ,was--.Bettyj who helped tne to iustall Iier here, it was Betty who chose the furnishings for her apartment, who helped her buy her clothes, who engaged Iier iiteid, who gave her most of her training. This is tlie most preposterous, the most filthy perversion of the truth. Betty must know it better than any one else. Come, now’. Woodward, there’s something more in it than . Ibis?” Jasper'had himself In hand, but It was easy now to see the effort it cost him. The veins.of Iiis fore- lead were swollen. “I shall uot- discuss the matter witli yop. Betty has excellent evidence, un impeachable witnesses. There is no doubt in my mind, nor In the minds of her lawyers, that she will win her suit and get her divorce,, her'release. 1 Of course^ you wilt not contest—” Jasper stopped in his pacing which - had begun to take: the curious, circling, weaving form characteristic of him, and, standing now with Ihls head thrown back, he spoke sonorously. • “Do you imagine for one instant, Kane—does Betly Imagine, for one in stant—that I shall ^iot contest?” , This changed the look of cold pleas ure in Woodward's eyes, which grew blank again. “Do you mean me to understand—Naturally, I took lt\ for granted that you would act as most gentlemen act under the circum stances." / ‘\ “Then you have taken too much for granted, you and-Betty.

He was utterly bewildered, utterly staggered, by the kmazing dissimulation prac ticed by this small, soft-lipped, round eyed girl who had lived with him for so loijg, sufficiently pliable, sufficiently greeable. ' AVhat was back of It all? Another man, of course. In Imagina tion he was examining the faces of his acquaintances, narrowing his . lids as though the.real men passed In review hefore him. ‘Perhaps you- understand the situ ation better now?" asked Woodward cruelly. Jasper’s intense pain and humilia tion gave him a sort of calm. He seemed entirely 'cool when he moved back ,toward his brother-in-law; his eyes were clear, the iieat had gone from his temples. He was even smil ing, a little, though there was a white, even frame to his lips. ‘ ‘I shall not write to Betty nor at tempt to see her,” he said quietly. 'But I slmll ask you to take a mes sage to her.” Woodward assented. “Tell her she shall' have her release, but to get it she will hove to walk through the mire and there will be no one waiting for her on the other side. Can you remember that? Not even you will be there.” He was entirely self-assured so that Woodward felt a chill of dismay. I shall contest the suit," went on Jasper, “and I believe that I shall win Y-ou may tell Betty so if you like or she can' wait to hear it from my lawyer.” He put the envelope into his pocket, crossed the. room, and held back o,ne of the crimson curtains of the door. ‘If you have nothing more to. say,” he smiled, “neither have I. .Cjoodhy." He bowed slightly, and Woodward found himself passing before him. In silence and some confusion. He stood for a moment In the hall and, having stammered his way to a cold “Good- afternoon," he put on his hat and went out. Jasper returned to the empty draw ing room -and began his weaving march. • Before he could begin his spinning which he- hoped would entangle Betty and leave her powerless for him ^fo hold or to release at will, he must go. to Jane West and tell her what trick life with his. help bad-played upon hey.

A smaller flotilla lay spread out- along the Long Island shore of Jones inlet, several miles from the main, de tachment. ‘ ,f The new position taken by the wet armada was interpreted ashore as strategy on the part of the smugglers. Formerly the fleet was wont to cluster off Highlands, but the later forma tion would make for greater freedom in trading with bottle fishermen from shore,, as -the limited, number of coast guard cutters available for rum patroi would be kept scattered by the' greater area they Would have to circle., Weather over the week-end was ideal for smuggling and,--straining -to supply the Christmas market, runners were reported to have landed consid erable quantities of liquor along the Jersey .coast.; Some of this supply was moved-at once by motor truck to. the chief markets. The rest was stor ed temporarily until a more favor able opportunity presented, itself for liquor movement along the public high ways. Several vehicles were sized by state troopers, maintaining a second ary defense back of the coast line.

This tag day business was happening too often. • He had not a cent of ■ change. -.---■ “You wouldn’t regret giving if you could see those kiddies. We do this A WHole Dollar N ot Too MucH for RalpH to Give to Be Santa Claus every year over in the normal depart ment, you know,” volunteered the girl. Ralph thought a minute, then.put a crisp one-dollar bill into the basket. ‘‘Oh! that’s too much to give,” called the girl, but Ralph has disappeared down the stairs into the school. That did not end Ralph’s thoughts on the Eatter1 however. In the after noon' he met Frances, one of his girl friends from the normal department. “Ralph,” she burst forth, f‘the -tag day surely is .going , over big. They expect to make quite a lot more than they did last year. Why,” she exclaimed in her joy,' “do you know, they always say artists are so very poor—well, Aida told me some nice young man put a dollar bill in her basket and never said a word about wanting any change.” ’ - Ralph smiled: “That fellow probably was thinking about some composition he was making and didn’t even know he put it In.” “No, he didn't, because Aida said he thought a minute before he dropped it in.” . That evening as Ralph worked in his room at the boarding house, some way or other he just couldn’t keep his mind off his home. Hehadknownrightalong that he couldn’t go-home for Christmas, but as the time drew nearer—only two more days now before Christmas vaca tion—he felt very lonely, ' There was someone besides, the folks -who’ made Ralph wish he were going home. Ralph heaved a sigh. "Gee, I hate to think of it. She will be home from college for the holidays, and I won’t be there .to take her around; Well, IitOe girl, you'under stand if all the rest don’t. Hang it, I would like to see you, Lillian!’’ Everybody at school went about whistling and singing, why shouldn’t , he? He should.

He was seated in an old morris chair with his back to the door, deep In thought, -when a light rap on his room door stirred him. Thinking It one of the boys living In the house, and not both ering to rise,' he called, "Come In!” The door opened and Ralph beheld a little black-eyed, black-haired urchin In what once was a white corduroy dress. Leaning against his knee, she looked up into his'face. His artist’s eye thought instantly, "My, those eyes I Wouldn’t they be wonderful to paint!” "Say,” said the little thing as she rolled her eyes, “did you know, I am ‘going to the children’s party Friday: down at your school?" “Well, where did you drop from?” ejaculated Ralph In his surprise. “I am sure I never saw you before;-„ I don't know your name, but I think I shall call you the ‘Vamp.’ ” “My name Jose,” corrected the little girl indignantly. “Well, you surely know the art of rolling your eyes,” laughed Ralph. “Do you want,to see my sister? She go, too, Friday.” “ Yes, bring In the sister, ‘Vamp’— the more the merrier!” The sister, just able to toddle across the floor, dressed In a figured calico romper SUltf was hoisted and boosted into Ralph’s lap by Jose. The baby cuddled against Ralph, nestling down perfectly content. Ralph felt a little thrill vibrate through his frame. The, “vamp,” still at Ralph’s side, leaning both elbows on his knees, peered into his face with her largei lustrous eyes. “My sister’s happy, too, you see, be cause she'goes with; me Friday.” “I ’appy,” reiterated the black- haired doll on Ralph’s lap. “Is that right?” laughed Ralph, hugging the little kiddies. “But, ■Vamp,’ why do you come to tell me about it7” The vamp looked rather dismayed.. “Yousend me and Angelica,” she said, I giving Ralph a knowing little shove. "We see Santa, too, and he big, so big that he bring me and Angelica lots nice things. And he talk to us and pick us up Jlke you did Angelica.” i • Ralph gave a start; Someone was thundering upon his door With two fists instead. of. one.

(Prepared by the United 'States Department of Agriculture.) Analyzing cost records and farm management systems on 28,000 farms Is one of the diverse roles played/by the United States department of-Agri culture the past year. The purpose of the work is to discover the fac tors that make for an efficient, busi ness-like , agriculture, and then to spread ' the gospel of better farm management among the entire agricul tural community, Costs Are Higher. Particularly in these times,' depart ment officials point ‘out, when most farming posts are relatively; higher than the prices of many farm products the keeping and analysis of farm ac counts by farmers is of great import ance. Costs and returns must be carefully studied If the business Is to show a profit. , Department records of county ex tension work show an Increasing in terest among farmers In the keeping of farm accounts, a larger number of accounts being kept and analyzed 'during the past year than In any pre ceding period. In many instances, farmers found that they had received only one-half as much from their live stock as the feed consumed.by the live stock was worth, evgn though their crop yields were good, : Some farmers discovered an even worse con dition, particularly where they had purchased additional feed. Live Slock Big Factor. The productivity of live stock is one of the most important factors In farm returns upon farms producing live stock, the department says. Losses may be due to poor 'stock or to improper feeding and care. Wide variations are also found In the use of man and horse labor. In other cases small Income Is the result of poor* crop yields. Careful study of the vari ous elements that make up the- farm business Indicate how any particular farm may be reorganized to show larger profit. To assist farmers In their bookkeeping, special farm ac count. books have been prepared by the Department of Agriculture In co operation with the state agricultural colleges and may be obtained from the extension divisions of the. col leges. ’ In M e m o ry o f H e r L ittle G irl By ETHEL COOK EUOT Nellie, the Shop Girl, Rem inded M otiierof Daughter and W as Showered W ith Lingerie E L L IE was e x h a usted, • just as were all the other clerks In the R u in so n depart ment store at five minutes of ten this Christmas eve. But there were still five minutes more in which she must serve. There were several shoppers pressing about her counter handling- and examining 'the beautiful, French embroidery of the. lingerie there. They swam before Nellie’s tired eyes almost dimly as in a dream. Tired, aching feet can do that to eyes, you know. How toying they were, these cus tomers I . How slow about coming, to- decisions; how impossible their ques tions. How did Nellie know how this or that ■ garment would launder, or wear? How could’she know? NelUe never In her whole life had possessed a stitch of such costly stuff. And still these'crowding, high-voiced women ex pected her to prophesy the. whole future life of their purchases! They were certainly better judges than she of such things. They ought to know. But there was one lady, a lady with soft brown, eyes, half smiling brown eyes, who patiently stood and waited her turn;: Because^Qf her patience In that Christmas rush,' she came last But if she had been patient In waiting her turn, Nellie now had to be patient In waiting on h£r. For. although it was already ten o’clock and'time for the counters to be draped for the night, she took her time. Very care fully she chose two whole sets of lin gerie. Every piece she examined closely to. make sure of the quality, and the beauty of the design. Nellie thought she would never be done. . In fact, , Nellie found it hard,-just as the brown-eyed lady was hovering ever the choice of the- last pieCe, not to cry Out at her, “For Heaven’s sake, make up .your mind I Can’t you see I’m dropping?” . v ; But of course Nellie cried out no such; thtag. , She; just: Shut her young lips together, and winked back child ish tears ,of irritation,'and exhaustion. 1TR take this one, then,” the lady at last said, at two minutes past ten. And thefi she looked np, smiling Into Nellie’s eyes! “A ndwillyoutake the lot, dear child, i\s a Christmas present from me? I had a Uttle girl once; something' like you .and yJur ‘age; Since' it Is Christmas yon. .-will not deny me. the: happiness .;of^givlng..ybq this present in rememhrance {6f her: She loved pretty things just as you do I know.” ' N W M v e r U lU olL i , H e a v y P ru n in g o f P e a rs R e d u c e s A v e ra g e Y ie ld j it has “ gen found through experi ments In the state college orchards In New York, that heavy pruning of young pear trees of such commercial, varieties as Kieffer, Bose, Seckel, Clapp, Favorite and Sheldon, reduced the average yield as much as 25 per cent by the time, the trees were ten years old.. In the experiment under discussion, the trees were treated alike I and one group was then allowed to grow to its natural form with just enough pruning to avoid bad inter ference 1 of branches, etc. Another group was pruned so that the trees assumed the more open head. Of course the best way to prune pear trees, considering the entire life of the tree, is not known for certainty. Further experiment will be necessary to bring this out. Older trees, how ever, where the fruit is not of satis factory size, will be benefited by mod erate pruning, lowering very, tall limbs and strong lateral branches and tak ing out the Smaller branches near the top. ' A point to'remember In pruning a pear tree;. Keep the trunks and base and-main limbs free of spurs and sprouts. This will lessen the danger from fire blight and this sort of prun ing-followed persistently will be . a first-class assurance against serious injury from this pear disease. H ig h P ro d u c tio n C osts N e c e ssita te S o u n d S e e d Production co6ts in farming have mounted to. such "a point that most farmers are - finding it imperative to plant only the, best of seed, in order that the utmost in first quality mar ketable produce may result. To aid In this' work' the experiment stations are 'constantly at work producing' Strains of field crops to yield more' high qualify produce. These strains are being multiplied by carefiul farm ers under supervision of the agricul tural colleges and 'the best of them designated as registered and certified seed. ' Such seeds carry registration or -certification tags-properly signed by the growers. . . Farmers find that this registered and certified seed is'the cheapest Seejd. they can buy, measured by results se cured. VBut they must protect them selves when purchasing seed; by de manding the regi stratlon or certiflca- -tion tag on each sack they buy. As ,with live stock, seed should not be con sidered as certified or registered un less, the papers-accompany the seed.

The ififluence of the “Better Sires— Better Stock” movement in live stock Improvement in the United States is discussed In. a report , just issued by the United States Department of Agri culture* covering- a period., of four years. A feature of the !report Is a brief article by E. 0. Grigsby, county agent for Pulaski comity, Virginia, which has increased its pure bred breeding stock 150 per cent since the work began. This' county has 578 live stock owners who are using pure bred sires for all classes of live stock kept and is the premier better-sires county In the United States. . ■' -The report contains a list of 23 states which have been. most active In better-sires work and also a county honor list of 28 counties which have 100 or, more farmers whose live stock operations are on a strictly pure-bred- slre basis. The report also contains statistical material showing the ex tent to which the use of,pure bred sires influences the keeping of large numbers of pure bred female stock. The number of live stock owners co-operating in the work now exceeds 12,000. Breeding animals and fowls owned by these farmers reached a total of . 1,368,732 on October I. 1923, and is gradually increasing. The full report contains nine pages of results and descriptive matter and may be obtained free from extension directors of the various states, or from the United States Department of Agriculture. L im e M ay B e A p p lied , o n G a rd e n L a n d in W in te r Much has'been said-about the value of lime for the general farm crop but little attention has been given to its use for the garden. The garden soil is more intensively cropped than the ,fields and its physical and chemical condition should be looked after1 as well as those of the fields. Garden crops are Injured by sour soils or soils short In the supply of iime. This Is especially, true of the legumes such as?peas and beans and of the vegetable crops such as lettuce, spinach, cabbage and celery and root crops such as cauliflower, carrots and turnips. : Soils deficient in lime fall to supply the needed plant food fast enough for the garden crops which’ grow rapidly and make a heavy. de mand on the soli. The lime not only satisfies the plant for this element but It hastens the -decay of manures and assists in the liberation of various essential elements for the use of the vegetables. ■ However, for some garden crops, lime is not needed and In some cases it may even cause injury. This is the case with ,the strawberry and water melon which prefer a slightly acid soil.- Lime on potato soil, scabs the tubers. Outslderdf these crops, lime is a decided benefit.to. garden crops.. Lime may be applied on the plowed land in winter and worked into the soil in spring. About twenty pounds per square rod is sufficient for most gardens. Crushed .li'mestone and air slaked lime are desirable forms.—Fi. M. Rolfs, Professor .of Horticulture*. Oklalioma A. and M.. Allege. A re a P la n fo r T e stin g . - ...

L. .Robison, of the Ohio experiment station. Averages ranging from 387 to 609 pounds of gain to live weight credit able to an acre of rape pasture have been secured in tests. The amount is influenced by a num ber of factors such as the yield of the forage, the age and condition of the pigs, the kind of ration. fed, and the method- of feeding. The best results jwere secured when some tankage was' fed with the com. An allowance of one-fourth to one- third of .a pound of tankage daily per head is' -recommended. ' Rape may be seeded as early In the spring as the ground can be put in condition. If pasture is desired throughout the season it is a good plah to have two plots and pasture them alternately. When • seeded on fertile ground, rape is usually ready for hog forage: from six to eight weeks after sowing;—Weekly--Press -Bulletin, Ohio Experiment Station. ■.......'i' a ■■ F in d D iffe re n t P ro b le mh I in E v e ry P a tc h o f C o ra Ev^ry, patch of com presents a dif ferent problem, but if you apply com mercial fertilizer wisely you can near ly always make it profitable.

In any J S l some hens will be found which such poor producers that they are uni profitable, and ,these should be Z l ones to eat. I AU hens molt in the fall or earlvl nCr’ i.ThlS moltinS characteristic Isl easily observed and, when it starts to! take place,, means that the hen has! about finished her laying season and! Is turning her attention to growing a! new crop of feathers for a vacation ^ ! fore she starts her next year's work I If it is desirable to use a part of the! flock for meat, says the United States! Department of Agriculture, the earlv! molters are the ones to select for eat-i ing first because they are laying very! few or no eggs during this moltin»l season which usually lasts about three! months. The hens in the flock should! not be killed until they begin to molt! and their combs begin to lose size, col-| or and flexibility, for if these changes! have not taken place the hens willj probably still be laying when eggs are! especially valuable. I . As a rule hens of the general-purpose! breeds are not profitable layers after! they are two years old, and Leghorn! hens rarely, lay profitably after threej laying years. Many of the hens should! be culled before they reach these agesf and replaced by well-matured pullets! In the fall. O y ste r S hell R equired b y E g g Producing HensJ Oyster shell should be kept con-1 stantly before laying hens. Esperl-I ments show that fowls will draw Hme | from the body skeleton If oyster shell! is not obtainable In sufficient quanti-| ties. That oyster shell is an essential I part of the feeding ration and that! it should be kept before fowls con-I tlnuously is clearly shown In the fol-J lowing excerpt from circular 27 of the! West Virginia experiment station, en-j titled, Feeding for Egg Production,! by Prof. HOrace Atwood: “A relatively large amount of Hmel is required In the formation of egg I shells. Wheeier found that crushed] oyster shell when fed to laying hens] was the principal source of the lime] present in the shells, and he advised] feeding oyster shell, especially during] the laying season. That his conclu sions were";correct is indicated by the] almost universal use of oyster shell I for this purpose. One pound of oyster ] shell will furnish lime for about seven j dozen eggs. “In a recent Investigation Halpia j finds that, contrary to popular belief, j a lack of calcium or lime In the feed] has not caused the production of soft- shelled eggs, the hen apparently draw ing on' her skeleton for the needed ] calcium. Soft-shelled eggs, therefore,! appear to be due to some pathological condition rather than to a lack of cal cium In the feed. A scant supply of j calcium seems to decrease egg produc tion. This result is important from j the - practical standpoint, since many I poultry raisers, believing that soft- j shelled eggs indicate a lack of cal-; cium, do not feed oyster shells unless I their hens lay soft-shelled eggs. It Is thus possible that a lack of egg pro- j ductlon during the late winter months may be due to a lack of sufficient ca I cium.“Since oyster shell is relatively cheap and since fowls need Hme ron) j this or a similar source, at least when , they are laying, it is good practice,' keep a supply constantly available.
