The I valuation of property in Thomas- IviIIe for the year 1924. as given in hy the tax pays was $5,313,936. while the vear before it was $5,400, - 142, !which shows- a decrease in !valuation of 586.206, in the face of I jhe great building program that took place in that year; the increase In valuation caused by paved streets and the large number of putonio- biles and other property acquired. Upon invenstivation of the tax hooks by this paper it has been found that there is property in Thoniasville, given iu by, its iead- in y citizens at 10 percent of its real value. There are well over a mil lion dollars on deposit in our two b,.nks today, yet the cash money listed Is neglectable. Automobiles that costs $5,000 00 are being listed for 5i 000 00 and less. Merchants are failing to list accounts owiug them, people are not listing notes and mortgages, iu mauy cases, and in some instances where it is known that a concern has a large number of accounts owiug it, they list a 1 largesolvent credit to offset the charge. ' j Our own citizens are cheating Iheircitygovernmentout of whatj is,justly its own... ,-How ..can. we have a lower tax rate as long as this continues? How' can a man afford to grumble at a $2.20 tax. rate when lie walks up and lists his property at less than ten thousand dollargs, when it is really worth sixty or seventy-five thousands. There is one instance wheie a lead ing citizen of Thomasville listed his property this week for a little over SS.ooo.oo, which includes a good business, 14 lots, his owu house, which is worth almost the total a- iuomit, his automobiles, his house furnishings and other personal pro perty. Vet when he gave it in he claimed his property was listed higher than some others he pointed out. How cati we -expect the little fellow to list iiis property at full value, if our leading citizens fail in their obligation to the city. How can we expect a man with a $500.- OD hank account to give it in, if the uiau with a $5000 00 account swears he doesn’t have a cent of cash money. How can we expect the little fellow with a Ford car to list the real value of it, when the uiau with a $5000 000 car, list at 20 percent and less? But you s'y, a man signs his name to a statement which says, 4T do sol emnly swear (or affirm) that the above and foregoing listed -proper ty is a full, true and complete lists °f all and each kind of property owned by me or under my control etc.” We say there are a buncli °f people in Thoniasville who do not realize what they are sitigning, for they are guilty of prejury, and fie indicted and" tried.

The following recently appeared in Mrs. J P. Caldwell’s One Min ute page in the Charlotte Observer. It is from the pen of M. F. Trot ter, Sr., and entirely too good not to pass on down the line: The finest think I ever heard said was by a very young student of divinity He grew up from baby hood to mau hood next door to me. He said while filling the place of a pastor, who was on Itis vacation that.he-got more pleasure out of visiting the old, the sick, the poor and distressed than airy part of his Work. He is the braniest young man I think, who has been reared here in my day, and I was born here nearly, 71 pears ago. The finest thing I ever heard s iid about money was by a very successful merchant.- He was W. M. Davis, who run a racket store here 35 years ago. I asked him to contribute some money to tlie edu cation of the mill children here who would not attend the city scl.ool and he gave all I asked for and was willing to give more. He .said he would rather spend his money edu cating that class of children than any other way The worst thing I ever heard a man say a word on the subject of money was by a prominent doctor. He-said it didn’t matter who was on the side wald or who vvas in the gutter, all be cared for was his pocket book. We were discussing prohibition. Poor fellow, he has gone to his reward. He left a well- filled purse-, -but ,in. a- few last, years he had a great leanness of soul. The happiest and most content ed man I ever met was a poor, old mountaineer. He was a Christian and a philosopher. The most despicable thing I ever witnessed was the expresson on the face of a young mother looking into the face of her infant daughter whom she had laid on her lap. She did not known she was beiug ob served. The lady was Mrs. John W. Stagg, wife of the Rev. Dr Stagg, formerly pastor of the Se cjnd Presbyterian church here. ' The uglist tin Hg I ever saw was an old woman, who had spent her life iu dis.iparion. The finest woman <0 iversational- ist I ever met . was .a 16 year-old girl. The best talker I ever heard in private was a reported of The Charleston News and- Courier in 1878. The greatest bores I have ever listened to was Dr. Moses D. Hod ges, of Richmond, Va. His text was:“ All things work together for good to fhose who love G od,. who are called according to His pur pose ” I wish space permitted me to tell you some of the things he said. H ew as selected to preach the sermon when the emperor and empress were present at the World Conference of Religionists in Ber lin, thirty or more years ago, be cause he had the reputation of be iug the finest pulpiteer iu the world. Tlie most generous and best'all round women I ever knew was Mrs. Annie Lardeuer. She refused to accept a very large bequest, and only took a~ moderate sum, about ouedenth of the am ount. offered her, and spent most of the income from that on others. T bem ost honest man I -ever knew was R. B. Caldwell, and lie said he didn't think there was an honest tuan in the world. sThe"oiily bachelor I ,know, who is spending any money to mabe the f e t b tflore beautiful is my neigh bbt Mf-- Bascom Health. He has twq beautiful.; -flowjak. gardens at his 'residence on the corner of EU zabetli Vnd^ Travis^avenues. He has also given tlie qse of a lot to the Central high. School children NUMBER 48 and contributed money for seeds, plants, etc., to help, them; grow flowers. Donations of this kind are far reaching in results in mauy beueficial ways; Solomon is my favorite, author, students of human nature. To my mind the two must compreheusive verses in his writings were these: "The day of a man's death is -bet ter that the day of his birth, for the end of a thing is better than the beginning thereof,” and the other is: "H ere the conclusion of the whole matter, fear God and keep His commandments for this is the whole duty of man.” He was also the highest paid-author of all time, the greatest architect and the greatest lover, He had 700 wives and 300 lady friends. When you' hear anybody say they have too much sence to marry refer them to Solomon. The greatest menace to this couuty are not Jap airplains, (not withstanding Brisbane to the con trary), nor is bolshevism, but they are birth control and lack of par ental control and lack of parental control of the few children, who are born in onr modern families. Wake Up Davie County. Does Davie county boast a good broncho rider, steer wrestler or calf ropei? O rafellow adept at tract and fancy riding? He may not be covering a policeman’s beat, employ ed as delivery man for a moving con cern, clerking in a store or bolding down an office job, but if he still, has the spirit of-the plains and ranges, in him and thinkshe’s no back nurn be.-, ha is wanted.. .The Ghicago As- s iciation of Commerce is; putting on a ’"Roundup” August 15 to 23 .and has asked the help of this newspaper in finding persona.formerly having a part of. the life of the great West.

The "Roundup” marks Chicago’s debut as the'rodeo capital of A- merica. Cheyenne and Pendleton have been the two great riideo cent ers of the countri; hereafter there will be three with plans laid, to make Chicagothegreatest of all. Chica go, the greatest cowboy town. and business center, is out to outdo it self in the scale of its "Roundup,” and the cream of rodeo talent will be there . AU the traditional events of the Western epic will be staged, with entries from all over the coun try, Canada, Mexico, Argenlineand Australia. There will be none of the "circus” atmosphere at this rodeo; it is an nounced.- No paid performers. It is a free for all and open to the world and those who think that they still have some of the blood of the West in them will never have a better chance to prove it. Arrangements are going, forth for the entertain ment of "'Roundupv visitors from this and other localities on a scale unheard of .in the annuals of A- merican business. Thntown wili.be in festive humor and all comers from the least known to the roost prominent are awaited by a. tremen dous welcome.

Circus Band Once Played F Hanging. Greensboro News. Comuieuting on the fight now 011 to, prevent the. aitaudauce of rela-, tives of a murderer’s victim at pub-, electrocutions in this state and the widespread comment of newspapers lately, Dr. George W. Lay, form erly of Raleigh and now ~of Beau fort, while- passing through the city recently, recalled days of long ago and the attitude then in vogue towards pubiic lnndgings. "In those days,” the former rector of St. Mary’s school, said ” a hanging was a jmblic affair, iudul ged in by everybody, a holiday, so to speak, when everyone dropped- their vocations and trades, and come to the county seat and wit nessed the hanging. The victim’s relatives came along also and had privileges over others. My f alher told a story, which will .illlustrate this point.” Dr Lay’s father was_ Bishop Henry C. Lay, of the diocese of Arkansas during civil war. “ My father's story concerns Tom Thumb and P. F. Barnum founder of the famous Birnum circus. My father-, was asked to conduct the funeral of the hanged man but did not attend the hang ing, however. Another minister was present at the funeral, read the exhortation and visitation at the gallows atid ministered to the doomed men, who took the whole affair calmly enough. The hang ing was in Huntersville, Alabama, I.believe. . My faither said that the ministerE iged the prisoner not (0 tnake any statement, as I remem ber the story. "A t any rater everybody in Huntsville turned out to the hang ing, including the parents of the doomed man’s victim and it appear ed that the banging was going to interfere with the Barnum circus parade rolled on the scene of the hanging. The doomed negro ioie on his own coffin, “ Following the hanging, my father rode in the same buggy with Tom Thumb, who. told of the trials and tribulations of the cir cus game, while en route to the cemetery. He said that they had a terrible time with the elephants, death ocruring often. “ And after the- hanging, Ihe band kept right on to. the circus grounds aud the wife and family of the negre's victim had referved seats at the performance.” He pointed out that what was commonplace and not considered poor taste or our .of the way in those days was becoming a public scandal. Dr. Lay felt that such “spite work” and “ vengeance” of today's public electrocution out to be eliminated atid not'to be allowed to sit by or stand Ly when the convicted criminal went his way from life. Dr. Lay also felt that -the argu .meffts that were being put out for tijie'ambition of capital punishment were, in some instances, untrue and without basis. FIe said that the particular argument, that a criminal should not be put to death because of lack of preparation''for the hereafter, was no argument at all. “ The couvicted man lias more time to think of life than any of the rest of us in ordinary life, and, ''fiither, the criminal's victim,-rJt must be remembered, has -no time at all to contemplate death. He has ho say as to when be should go and practically no warning that he was going. The killer except in the case of a lynching, has every opportunity to consider deatn an.d life to come.” It is now asserted that human in telligence reaches its maximum at. ;i6 years.

It takes pulling to gether to get anything thesse- day.-tf The towns all-around us are getting new mills and factoiies while we ssem to be standing Jt 11. Our towu needs and must have a bigger pay roll if we are to keep our merchants busy, our houses occupied and our people happy It is mighty nice to live in a quiet town, but when a town gets too quiet" it reminds most people of a cemetery, and no live person wants to spend his days in a.city of the dead. Au tllort should be ma.ie to _ resurrect our Chamber'of Coimnerce Such an Organization R badly needed here. The Billy Sunday meetings came to a close in Winston-Saleui Sun day. During the six weeks meet ing hundreds of- people were con verted and made sacred vows to live a better and cleaner life. Tberi is no way to measure the good that this evangelist did for the people of this section. Hundreds of thous ands heard him during the meet ing aud the good work he did will live on and 011 after Billy Sunday has been forgotten. Many people went to hear Billy Sunday out of idle curiosity, but lots of them re- tnaiued to pray instead of laugh, Sunday is a great man—a great preacher. His equal has not lived in this generation. Up' to this.' good hour ' we have not heard a word in regard to what lias-happened to the hard surface rpad that commissioner Haues' was to give us from Mocksville to Fnl ton. The highway f:oiu Mocks ville to Statesville is one of the inost important links that we have. This JJiece of road should be .built /tliis year ' With this link finished the traveling public would have a continuous liard-surface road for m ote. than two hundred tiiiles. Davie county has received less than fifteen miles of conctete roads while our neighboring counties have been busy and lauded two or-three times this amount. There is no reason why Davie shouldn't get at least a . few miles, out of the five million dollars that the state is going-to spend tliis year ou road building. , Flanders fields, where poppies grow, is soon forgotten in the mad rush for the almighty dollar. Sat urday was Memorial Day but even t'le banks in .Mocksville failed to close their doors. No exercises of any kind were held here.

Just before the sate started Mr. Henry Hobson got up aud made a short speech sug gesting that the name of the village be changed from "Greasy Corner,” or Davie X Roads, to Pearson, in memory of a prominent familv who lived in that section a century ago. A vote was taken and the new name was unanimously selected. The lots that were put up for sale did uot bring anything like the owner thought they should and we understand tnat the lots were re- taiued by Mr. Walker. The luck iest man on the grounds was R. F.

Osaka.—Eyewitnesses’ accounts from Toyo-Oka and Kinosaki, which are beginning- to come in, agree that scenes of horror similar to those witnessed in Tokyo and Yoko-: hama during ' the ‘'earthquake of September, 1923, were enacted there Saturday morning. TIie earthquake came very sud denly. The residents, panic strick en, tried to escape to the open, but many were pinned down by the falling debris and died in the flames, which quickly followed the shock. In Toyo-Oka a number of per sons are reported to have been kill ed by boulders falling from the hill side.- Fire, however, caused the worst suffering and casualties, the inflam mable Japanese houses burning like tender. In addition the water mains broke and the firemen were unable to halt the flames. Drinking water is still scarce. I NEED OF MINERS FAMILIES AT COAL GLEN NOW VERY GREAT. 10 ENTER SEt COMMEfICE IDLE SHIPS TO TAKE FORDS TO SOUTH AMERICA AND BRING BACK FRUIT. Detroit, Mich.—The Detroit Free Press in a copyrighted story in its editions, says that Henry Ford may enter coast-wise commerce on a large scale shortly, with a fleet of ships equipped to ; bring ""fruits from South American and the South Atlantic sea board to the United States and north ern markets. The story also say3 that William B. Mayo of the Ford Motor company, expects to visit the eAst to inspect seven of the 14 refrigerator boats fit ted Xor such trade, which are a part of the idle fleet of the United States shipping board. These boats are laid up at Hog Island, Jones .Point, on the Hudson river, and Caldwell, New York. If ex amination of the vessels shows they can be refitted at a nominal cost, Ford proposes to buy them, the article s.iys. Specifications for the entire lot reached the Ford offices from Chair man L. V. O’Conner of the shipping board and this is believed to be the first move to sell to Ford a portion of the idle government fleet. Ford proposes, according to the article, to use the refrigerator ships to carry freight for the Ford Motor company to South America and south Atlantic branches and to bring back cargoes of fruit. The article quotes Mayo as saying that if “we can figure how we can break even at least we will probably tackle some of them.” Regarding the 400 other ships which it has been reported Ford might pur chase, Mayo is quoted as saying that they are “of cheap material and poor design,” and that the company feels that it would not be worth the money to keep them afloat. Mayo pointed out that a large part of the fruit crop now goes to waste because high freight charges make it unprofitable to ship. He is quoted as suggesting much of this fruit might be transported to northern ports and the public notified that it could be purchased at the pier when the boat arrived. In this way, it is believed, high transportation charges could be overcome and the company paid for the cost of running the vessels back to northern ports after taking a cargo of motor cars to South America and the south Atlantic. Coal Glen (near Sanford).—State wide appeal for relief of the destitute families of the miners who were vic tims in Wednesday’s explosion at the Carolina Mining company’s mines here was issued in a joint proclamation signed by Mayor W. H. Fitts, Sanford, and J. U. Gunter, chairman of the Lee county chapter of the Red Cross. The Red Cross set up field head quarters in a vacant house to dispense immediate and permanent ,relief to the stricken families, many of whom, it is said, are utterly destitute without Ifunds to even buy their next meal. " Mr. Gunter, who was away from Sanford at the time of the explosion, hurried back, conferred with the may or and together they issued the pro clamation. Both the mayor and Mr. Gunter stress the fact that money is needed immediately and in large quantities. There is but a small'balance In the treasury of the Lee county chapter and this is being dispensed to the last cent for immediate necessities. If the work is to continue, he says, money will have to be forthcoming. Major Smith, of the American Red Cross, in charge of the work at Fort Bragg, is here to assist Mr. Gunter and the Lee chapter in the relief work. The Red Cross will not attempt to render any kind of refreshment aid at the mine. That duty already having been effeiciently performed by the Women’s Auxiliary of the Sanford post, American Legion. These women were at the scene of the disaster an hour after the last explosion and have maintained 24-hour service ever since. They have won the undying gratitude of the spent miners coming from the mine where they had been on rescue work. Italian Power Shot.

COLD SWAY REMOVES HAZARDS FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD’S ADVISORY COUNCIL MAKE STATEMENT. Washington.—The federal reserve board’s advisory council believer that the return of Great Britain and do minions to a’ gold standard marks once more the undisputed sway of gold over the world’s leading financial sys tems and removes from international trade and finance one of the great hazards—fluctuating exchange—which has confronted business since the out break of the World War. In one of the few formal statements ever issued by the council, which met here Friday, it declared tHat when England established a free gold mar ket and anchored herself “unreser vedly to the gold standard,” the time came to an end “when the world seem ed to waver between monetary sys tems frankly bottomed upon gold on the one hand and fluctuating ex changes and socalled ‘managed1 cur rencies’ on the other.” This was the second statement of ficial sources in two days dealing with America’s part in the re-estab- lishment of the gold basis in England. The first came from Dr. A. C. Miller, federal reserve board member and widely known economist, and was giv en the approval of Secretary Mellon. r The council viewed the decision of England to lift the ban on gold ex ports as "an epoch in the financial history of the post-war period.” "For the United States,” the state ment said, “this development is of vastest importance. “First, because we own approximate Iy one-half of the world’s monetary gold. “Second, because in order to pre serve for ourselves conditions of a well balanced prosperity, • foreign markets absorbing our surplus production are an imperative necessity and it is idle to expect that without exchange -stability, the purchasing power of foreign countries may regain its full capacity. “Third, in present world conditions the sale of our vast excess production to foreign buyers can only be main tained on anything like the present scale as long as we continue freely to absorb foreign securities. Our ability to- do so, however, will depend upon the degree of credit these foreign countries will command here. We have, therefore, a vital interest In seeing the credit of our' customers placed, on the strongest possible basis. I Evolution Trial Set For July 10. Dayton, Tenn.—Another revolution of the Tennessee legal wheel threw the question of evolution fairly into the courts of the state. John Thomas Scopes was indicted by a grand jury on a charge of violat ing the Tennessee law against teach ing in the public schools certain theor ies that deny the story of the divine creation of man as taught in the Bible. A special term of the circuit court was ordered to convene July 10 for trial of the school teacher. Judge John T. Raulston, presiding, directed an order calling the court in a special session for the "transaction of any and all business that could be transacted at a regular term of court.” Members of the special prosecution council announced receipt of a tele gram from William Jennings Bryan, who is to appear, in the ranks of the prosecuting attorneys. A last minute change was made in the line up of the prosecution by the substitute of Walter White, superin tendent of schools, for George W. Rap- pleyea as prosecutor. French Withdraw.

Japanese Prince Breaks Precedent. Tokyo.—Prince Chichibu, second son of the emperor of Japan, left for Eng land aboard the warship Isumo for two years’ study abroad. He will leave the warship at Hong Kong, whence he will travel by liner. The visit of the prince to Europe is the first case of a son of the Japanese emperor’s being educated in the Occi dent. i The prince will spend. most of hi's two years in England, where he will live incognito as Marquis Chichibu. He also will travel on the continent. Coal Glen (Near Sanford.)—Some where in the bowels of Chatham coun ty upwards of three score of men, white, some black, wait mayhap with hearts stilled forever, but mine offi cials think they wait with hearts beat ing with that eternal hope that their fellows will bring them back again, alive and whole, InTo God’s sunlight and to the arms of their families. Six of their fellows, however, have already been brought to the surface, their lives snuffed out by the. deadly gas generated by explosions from un determined causes in the mine of the Marolina Mining eompany. The explosions, three in number, be gan shortly after they had gone down into the mine for the day’s shift. To be exact, the initial detonation was heard at 9:40. Three minutes later a second occurred and 30 minutes more elapsed when the third sent another thrill of terror through the little com munity at the mouth of the shaft. - The exact number of men entombed is not known. Careful checking of names in the mine office reavels 59, of whom 39 are white men and 20 col ored, who went into the shaft. In ad dition, there are 12 miners’ lamps that are missing from the timekeeper’s office. These lamps may be in the possession of night shift men who took them to their homes after coming out of the mines. On the other hand, these men may never have come from the mine at all. Sometimes, the mine officials say, the men are lateln com ing to the top through some delay In finishing the task for the shift. And, too, A. V. D. Smith, bookkeeper for the company, points out, the contrac tors may have had the men in the mines whose names they had failed to turn In to the timekeeper. However, the minimum number is placed at 59 and the maximum at 71. Following is the official list of the men known to have gone into -the mine: White—George Anderson, A. P. Martin, C. B. Johnson, Jue Hutson, Claude Woods, Zeff Riners, J; E. Lob- isher, A. L. Stokes, A. L. Holland, A. Williams, Sam Jeter, W-. H. Sullivan, N. R. Johnson, C. L. Woods, S. Holmes, W. E.

T. D. Wright, Will Irick, Manly Lamberts. Total, 20. Grand total 59. When the first blast was heard; Howard Butler, superintendent of the mine, accompanied by Joe RichaTdson, a mechanic, descended to the 1,500- foot level, where, in the second right lateral, they found six miners who had been stunned by the force of the ex plosion. Leading these men from this lateral into the main slope, they sat down on some timbers to rest, all thinking the danger was past. Butler and Richardson started for the sur face and had gone but a few yards when the second explosion was heard. This and the gas created through it, in stantly snuffed out the lives of the sis men who had seated themselves in the slope. Butler, while somewhat dazed from this second explosion, turned and dashed back into what seemed certain death to render aid to his helpless men. The hero of the day, however was overcome and had to be taken to the surface by Richardson, who had not been quite so precipitate. Butler subsequently was taken to a hospital at Sanford, where he is said to be in no danger. Richardson con tinued to direct the rescue work throughout the day. The hope held out that the remain ing men may be alive is based on the statement of Richardson and Butler and others who went into the mine to remove the bodies of the six, that the air beyond the 1,500-foot level is fair ly pure and that the farther in one goes the better It seems. While only cursory investigation has been made so far, it is believed the men are trap ped 3,000 feet from the opening, by boulders which have blocked the shaft and that they are getting fresh ,air elsewhere. Search is being made in the sur rounding country to see if a crevass In the earth was (caused by either of the blasts which could let air to the en tombed men. Airplane Carrier Proves Its Worth. U.

CHAPTER XXI ^ —16— Saved by Estelle As the wall of the hut burst into flames Lee struggled with all bis might to free himself of his bonds. But in spite of all his efforts he could not loosen them an inch. He writhed until the cords. drew blood from his wrists, and the thought of Joyce, lost to him at the last through Estelle’s trick, inspired him to still more frenzied efforts, but equally In vain. Suddenly a figure darted through the doorway. In his condition of semi-consciousness he was dimly aware that Estelle was crouching at his side, trying to unknot the ropes. It was impossible to see anything through the thick smoke that filled the interior of_ the hut, and Estelle’s fingers, groping for the knots, were not strong enough to loosen them. Still. she fought in a frenzy, mad- dened^by Rathway’s desertion of hep, his blow, and Shorty’s murder, hardly knowing why she 'was bent upon sav ing Lee when her whole life had gone down In ruin. Two walls of the hut were now in flames, and the whole roof was smouldering. Estelle screamed wildly into the empty air. Lee tried to push her away. "Go— never mind me!” he tried to mumble- through his gag. And he wondered why she, who had lured him there, was now trying to, save him. She bit at the ropes with her teeth, and even while she did so those screams continued to pour from her lips. At last, with a final, despairing, cry, she collapsed at Lee’s side. Another figure staggered over the sill. It was Leboeuf. He came on, a moving pillar of mud. The old In dian, attracted by the fire, and hear ing Estelle's cries, had at last suc ceeded In fighting his way out of the muskeg. Seeing the two forms dimly through the smoke, he bent down, felt the cords about Lee’s limbs and body and, with his knJfe, quickly slashed them asunder. He pulled the gag from Lee’s month and carried him outside. Estelle staggered out after him. In a few moments the fresh air revived them. But hardly were they outside the hut when the roof collapsed with a great crash, sending up a spout of sparks and brands. A huge banner of fire waved where the hut had been. The glowing brands, descending, set fire to the de&d reeds. Lines of lire ran swiftly out Into the swamp. The sound of whinneying and plunging came from the stables, which were now discernible against the brightening sky. "Monsieur!” cried Leboeuf, pointing. Estelle clung to Lee. “W ait! W alt!” she cried. But even in Lee’s misery the Instinct to save the animals came first. Leboeuf and he set off toward the building, staggering through. the swamp, whUe the flery fingers of the conflagration reached out toward them. "No! This way!” cried Estelle, running toward them. She guided them along the little trail. In a few moments Lee and Leboeuf had unhaltered the animals, and led them to safety, the Indian carrying the saddle^ and bridles over his arm. / At the neck of the promontory Es telle grasped at Lee again. ‘‘He is gone!” she cried. "He has taken her' to Lake Misquash in his motor boat. Oh, don’t you care,- that you stand there like, that?” Lee looked at her, despair heavy in his eyes. “So much,” he answered, "that I jShall follow him to the Arctic ice if necessary. That is why there is no instant hurry, Estelle.” Estelle could not understand his Calmness-^He made me deceive yon,” she cried. “He swore to me that he would take me away with him, leav ing herein the hut with you. He said he would place a knife near you, so that you could see it when it grew light, and would be able to free"your self and her. He only wanted a few minutes’ respite. I—I believed him, the perjured Uar. He tricked me, and now he’s gone forever:!” She broke down In stormy sobs. Lee said nothing,- At that moment, when everything seemed Yost, ~ and it was impossible to save Joyce from the worst, he could only build up endless schemes for future retribution. He woulB- pursue Bathway, if necessary, not only to the Arctic ice, but to the ends of the earth. But—it was' too late! That stunning realization kept him as still and silent as if nothing mat tered at all. All the while these thoughts passed 1 through his mind he was walking with • the others across the promontory. It was. growing light now, but they could see no signs of movement in the huts opposite them. Lee quickened his footsteps, oppressed by a vague fear. Ontslde the huts he stopped, uttered a cry. Father McGrath lay In a huddled heap. There was a bloody wound in his head- Lee threw himself upon his knees beside the old priest, sure that be was, dead. He took one.wrist. FatBer McGrath was very far from being dead. He sat up with electri fying suddenness,' and dealt Lee $ buffet that knocked him backward. And the flow of ladguage that.streamed fivm his tips was; If not actually ob- jnrgatlve, decidedly picturesque. ■ Tfcen of 8 sudden he seemed to realize where he was. He stared at Lee in dismay, looked wildly around him. "Whaur are they? Ah1 the-1-!” Leboeuf, coming up at this junc ture with the two horses, uttered a melancholy grunt at the sight of the old priest, with his bloody head, and the prisoners gone. McGrath was in a raging fury. It was not difficult to piece the story together. When Lee disappeared into the muskeg, Leboeuf, knowing that It was impenetrable, unless one possessed knowledge of the trails, hastened after him, leaving McGrath In charge of the prisoners. Though McGrath remem bered nothing from that moment'. It could be gathered that one of them had drawn a concealed pistol and fired, felling McGrath and stunning him. Whereupon, thinking him dead, the whole crew had rushed for the motor boat, but, frightened back by Estelle’s screams and the sight of the two men there, whom they believed to be more of Lee’s raiding party, they had swarmed down the landing place into the York boats, and made good their escape. The whole night’s work had gone for nothing. Lee insisted on ’ examining Mc Grath’s wound, and discovered that It was a mere graze along the temple. JThe bone had turned the glancing bullet. “Aye, ’tis the thick head o’ the Mc Graths saved me, and ’tis\ the thick head o’ the McGraths saved them!” Lee Tried to Push Her Away. “Go— Never Mind Mel" He Tried to Mumble Through His Gag. the old man lamented bitterly. "’Twas an evil moment when ye consented to brring me wi’ ye, Anderson!” Lee tried to console him, but. Mc Grath^ appeared utterly despondent over his failure. It was in vain Lee told him that he did not need the members of the gang; that It was a good thing, on the whole, that they had got away. Father,” said Lee, “we’ve got to look the facts in the face. First, -there’s my duty as a policeman, to arrest Bathway for Pelly’s murder, however far I have to follow him. .He’s, broken for Lake Misquash, and I’m going to follow -him there. “Then there’s Joyce. It’s true she’s his wife,” here Estelle tried to Inter rupt him, but he ignored her.- His voice choked for a moment. “I must eliminate that fact from consideration. Tm going to start as soon as possible, and I propose to ride one of Bathway’s horses. If Leboeuf is willing to ac company me, I’U_ take him as a deputy,” ‘Ah, Monsieur, I come with you, never fear!” answered Leboeuf, mak ing a clucking sound with his tongue against the roof of his mouth. And then Lee remembered that Le boeuf had a score of his own to settle with the fugitive, apart from the mat ter of Joyce. 'See, Monsieur!” said the Indian, pointing to two pairs of snow shoes strapped against the saddles. “I have only to make up two packs from what those men have left behind them In these huts, and we are ready to start together to the. top of the world. We ride the horses till they can go no longer. Then we take to the raquettes. And at last we catch him. He cannot escape us. "Monsieur, /there is no place in the world so small that he can tide In, nor no place so silent that we. cannot hear him. My master came to me In a dream and told me so. He told me all that has happened here, but I would not let you know. We catch him by telling water. And she—she shall come to no harm. An this my master told me.” The wizened, mournful face of the old man lit up with a Sombre fire. Lee clapped him on. the back. “Good, Leboeuf,” he safd. ‘"We’ll start, then.” He turned to the priest. “You will be able to make your way home. Father?” • "TrrUst me for that, lad.!” answered Father McGrath. “I dlnna doot but they’ll be Anxious' for’ me, and it’s Uttls more I can do for you, having bungled the game—” He would not IiBten to Lee’s en couragements. - “Na’, na\ 'tis a, sair end to the nlcht’s worrk,” fie said, “but let us thank God we’ve cleaned oot this nest o' snakes, anyhow, e’en If the ser pent’s gone. Aye,' but ye'll catch him, lad, and save that pulr lassie fra’ him,” he continued. He spoke with out much conviction. “Before I go, Anderson,” he continued, “’tis niy purpose to clean oot this nest o' snakes completely.. I’ll e’en empty their bar rels o’ the feelthy stuff that they’ve been meexin’ wi’ the guid eorrn, and burn down these habitations.” Lee looked across the neck, where a dense cloud of smoke from the burning reeds hung over everything. “Good !'• he answered. “Make a clean swe^p of it, Father, so that there'll be ho chance of their coming back here al any future time. I guess you’ll find oil In the storehouse. Now, Leboeuf, If you're ready—•” Estelle, who had been standing by, vainly attempting two or three times to intervene, came forward, placing her hand timidly upon Lee’s arm* “You—you won’t hurt him? You’ll promise me to do him no harm, what ever—whatever he may have done?” she pleaded. ‘‘If it is possible, I promise you that I shall take him unharmed back to Manistree,” Lee answered. - "That is my duty; and it will also be my duty to require you as a witness." She burst into tears. “Oh, he isn’t altogether bad!” she sobbed. “He's good in his way. Nobody knows the good that is in him.” Perhaps Ihat was the best tribute that c<!uld have been paid Estelle. Lee, struck by a sudden thought, turned to the priest. “Father, you must take her back to the mission with you,” he said. ‘Aye,” said McGrath. “’Twas what I was tljeenkin’ mysel’.” TYou must go with him,” said Lee, and put his foot in the stirrup. Estelle clutched at him, and now the look In her eyes was one of reso lution. “Lee—wait! There’s some thing I must say to you! You remem ber what I was saying to you two nights ago, about it’s not being neces sary to—to kill him, to get that girl from him?” Lee only looked at her. “Lee, I may never see you again. I want you to forgive me for ail the wretched, miserable wrongs I did you In the past. Lee, If it’s any consola tion—I know it can be none—but I did love you once. I knew I was un worthy of you, but It wasn’t all fake and sham.” “Never mind, Estelle,” said Lee. "AU that’s long past.” I should have told you about— about the man, Kean, but I didn’t dare to. You—you idealized me. You thought me something that I wasn’t and could never have been.” 'Estelle!—” ‘If you hadn't put me upon a ped estal I should have found courage to tell you that Kean had been my lover, that I cared; more for you then. I should have kneeled at your feet and begged you to forgive me. I ran away with him . because I was afraid of you, and I have hated you —and hate you still—because of the wrong I had done you.” “Please don’t say any more, Es- teller-” Lee tried to interpose. 'You think that I’m a woman with a score of lovers, and there’s only been one man In all my life, Lee. Because— IUl tell' you now. Jim Bathway Is Kean. And his wife’s still alive—at any' rate, she was alive- when he went through that marriage ceremony with Joyce. Alive and not divorced’from him. That makes Joyce yours!” CHAPTER XXII Retribution The cold rage In Lee’s- heart was like an inexorable demon- driving him. Mile after mile they covered, urging their foam-flecked horses along the trail as remorselessly as the resolve In their own hearts drove them. It was when they topped a bare ele-. vation among the pines that Leboeuf touched his companion's arm and pointed.. ^ In the distance Lee saw the motor boat drawn up on the shore. And with that, some instinct told him that Kathway could not escape them, that he would never reach Lake Misquash. Lee burned now with the same faith tfkat animated Leboeuf. They drove their horses on, and saw the motor boat depart, heard the chug of Its engine die away in the distance. It was about the middle of the after noon that Leboeuf touched Lee's arm and pointed a second time. Again. Lee saw the motor boat Again tlrey heard the rattle of the engine swell up and die away. But now, by the same faith, Lee knew that Joyce’s deliverance was very Hear, although their horses were, wearied almost to death. A^ain they rode on through the afternoon. The Indian, who-had not spoken a word since their departure, 'touched Lee’s arm . a third time. And now Lee saw the motor boat again, but it was drifting, apparently aimlessly, in the river, and moving slowly toward the rapids. Joyce sat in the middle of it, and Bathway was at the engine. Lee and Leboeuf rode cruelly, drawing out their horses’ last reserve of strength. What was the man doing! They saw him rise and hurl something into the water. He stood up in the boat, be shook his fist at them, and bis yells of defiance, reached their ears above the roar of the stream. Then, seizing an oar, Bathway b» gan paddling frantically; In the en deavor to get the boat bow on prepara tory to guiding her down the narrow course among the rocks. Lee and Leboeuf were, nearly I abreast of the boat now—and Qt • sudden Lee knew that Joyce was his. His, In life and death, for evermore! She saw, she .knew him, and their spirits seemed to rush together across the waters. 1 Without hesitation Lee and the In dian put their horses into the river. They- drove the frightened, beasts through the ice-cold water, making a course immediately toward the boat, which was now being swirled by the torrent. toward that black chain _of projecting rocks. The horses yielded to the force of the stream. They were being carried away. Lee felt the swift rush of the water past him as he rode, submerged to the waist. He saw Leboeuf a little In front of him. And a wild exhila ration filled his heart, and his whole personality sekned to rush out before him, anticipating his vengeance and his love. The frightened, snorting beasts were now helpless in the rush of the river, which gathered force momen tarily as it drove them towajrd the rocks. They were hardly- a' "boat’s length from where Rathway was striving desperately to right the motor craft. He was too late. He had not cal culated on the force of the current, which slewed the heavy boat around, in spite of Bathway’s strongest ef forts. One moment of suspend and terror—and the motor boat wedged itself fairly between two upstanding rocks beside the channel’s mouch. Such was the velocity of the stream that it drove into its place with a force that feed it as firmly as If it were a part of the rocks themselves, and clung there, with a swirl of white water around it, reaching almost to the gunwales, In those last moments Lee saw Rathway, standing In the boat, drag Joyce to her feet and clutch her to him, as If resolved to be united with her at the last. His free hand he' extended menacingly toward Lee as he approached, himself spinning upon his whirling mount like a straw 'in the torrent Then Leboeuf liad struggled from his horse’s back, poised himself upon the gunwale of the motor boat, and. with a bellow of rage, seized Bath way by the throat. To and fro they rocked, the boat despite' their struggles, remaining firm as a wedge. And now the great shoulders of the old Indian were drag ging his enemy from his place. What Leboeuf said to Bathway in those last moments no one ever knew, for the roar of the rapids drowned all other sound. But of a sudden Bath way’s resistance seemed to cease. Per haps in Leboeuf he 'recognized the ad vent of that Nemesis he hsjd defied; he collapsed, and Leboeuf, holding him in his arms, poised himself one instant ,on the gunwale. The next both men had disappeared Jorever In the surge of the rnpids that swept them through th£> falls, grind ing I them into unrecognizable pulp among the rocks. Lee grasped at the boat as his horse swept by to its destruction. He clung there, clambered In. His arms were about Joyce. She lay there, and they forgot everything In the peace thaf had descended under the veil of the smoking spray. It was long before they awakened to realities. They looked about them, smiling at t(ielr position. Deatb seemed so small a thing to them, now. And yet, the boon of life . . . how much it meant! Lee crept to the bow. The boat, wedged firmly between the rocks, was nevertheless being constantly swept sidewise by the swirl of the current. He came back to Joyce. “If I could dislodge her, I' believe she’d go through that channel in the rapids, Joyce. I—I’ll have to try.” Joyce sighed. They would have liked to prolong that happiness of theirs for all eternity. They were un conscious of all but each other. But they must put their love to the last test of life. Lee’s clothes were freezing on him; In the boat were packs, supplies—life, lifeforboth of them, if she could take the rapids. "I'll try, Joyce.” They held each 'other, for a moment longer. Then, taking the oar, Lee drove the handle into the gap between the rocks,, and levered with all hia .strength. J The boat began to give. One instant It hung giddily on the abyss; the next It was back Jn position. “Lie down, Joyce!” And he flung all Jiis strength into that attempt, conscious that life and death trembled in the balance. The boat gave, clung to the rock, was swept sidewise, righted herself and plunged down the channel to safety In the calm waters below. “Lee, dearest, it’s from Father Mc Grath. He wants ub to come up to the settlement this summer. He’s got five new Indian babies and he’s as proud as Punch over them. NAnd Es telle—” She hesitated and looked at Lee. "Go on!” ' ' “Estelle’s simply devoted to the children and she’s taken up my work with so much pleasure. He says she seems quite happy and he believes In time that she’ll forget—him.” ‘‘I might get leave of absence” Lea mused. “But with that promise of my commission and our transfer*—I think perhaps our visit will have to wait.” “Some day—” Joyce suggested. They wondered if that day would ever come. At times a longing for the range came otfer them for those scenes where they had met and W ed mingled with it were t W & S that they had put-out of their lives because that shadow must nevw darken their happiness. • “Some day,-said Lee1 -Perhan*-* IXHE KNDJ \ Husband Spurns Help Until III Wife Is Saved New Y ork--Trapped "by flames In their fifth-floor apart ment, E d w a rd Koffenberg spurned rescue until; firemen had taken’ his Invalid wife to safety.

Baltimore, Md.—Having no money » bury her baby when it died in 1919, and not knowing that the city would bury the child for her, Mrs. Mary Orban told Coroner Hennessey that Bhe had placed the body in a trunk and had carried the trunk around with her for nearly five years. Mrs. Urban was arrested in Philadelphia following the finding of the body In the trunk at a boarding house here, where she had left it for a board bill. Coroner Hennessey, on hearing her story, assured that the child died of natural causes,. ordered her released. Her husband, Adolph, who now Isln Germany, put the body in the satchel and looked it In the trunks she said. That was in 1919. Since then, dur ing their’, frequent movings from place to place, she carried it with her, she said. Last May, however, she was forced to leave it because she could not pay a board bill. The trunk was abandoned by Mrs. Urban, who is a ship stewardess, at a rooming house in the 700 block of Park avenue, eleven months ago. Mrs. Mary Haas, who recently took over the management of the place, called police to open the trunk Thursday. In Jt they found some c-lofhes and a handbag. In the handbag -was the baby.

Tlxe KitcKen Cabinet Direct S u n sh in e I s F in e F ood fo r Y o u n g C h ic k s Feed vour chicks sunshine if you want them to grow rapidly ntrd strong. Scientists say that leg-weakness in chicks reared indoors is caused, not bv the wrong feed, but by the lack of direct sunshine which enables them to use their food in building a good, strong skeleton. And by direct sun shine they mean sunshine that has not lost most of its effect by being sifted through-glass or cloth. Leg-weakness Is at the seat of many chick troubles, preventing sufficient exercise and mak ing it difficult for the chicks to secure their feed. It is therefore important that the chicks be allowed outdoors on the sunnv davs as early as possible. A time while each day Is better than sot at ail. A small yard can be pro vided so as to simplify getting them back into the house when desired. If, because of cold weather, the chicks cannot be outdoors, the windows should be opened at the bottom so as to auow the entrance of the sun’s rays without Interference. Green stuff such as clover sods that have been grown In the sunshine, yolks "f egg laid by hens that have been on range, and crude co£ liver oil, fed at u do tit I to 2 per cent of the ration, "in neip to make up for the lack of sunshine, but most poultry keepers win prefer to use sunshine whenever POSsiuie.—Cora Cake, Extension Poul- .r.v Specialist, University of Minnesota. V s t f i ' Seed P o u ltry Y a rd s f o r P re v e n tio n o f D ise a se s Success with chicks depends large- h upon the condition of their runs. The most effective prevention and con trol of diseases and parasites trans- , mitted through the soil, Is to providfc : a heavy growth of vegetation which will clean up the soil. This applies Particularly to coccidiosis, intestinal worms, and tuberculosis. Alsilte, blue grass, and timothy or Totch and rye are very satisfactory I £eod mixtures for brooder runs and ; poultry yards. A generous application of lime .will aid In the growth of vege- I tation and cleansing the soil.

The mild and healing influence of Dr. KilmertS Swamp-Root is soon realized,^ It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the as- tonisjiing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease^ Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However; if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample’ bottle.

Rheumatism, lumbago, Bright’s disease, and kindred ailfnents, are the result of weak, sluggish, impure blood, and the reason your blood becomes like this is because it lacks the iron which is essential to enable it to throw the poisons out of your system.

Charlotte.—Several hundred mem bers of the Potomac States Bakers’ Association arrived in Charlotte on a special train to attend the opening session in the evening of the four-day tenth annual convention of that body.

For eign governments are studying eco nomics, and unless we take the same step economy measures will be forced upon us. Industry must look at such problems from a national standpoint..’’ Voluntary Action. Secretary Hoover explained what the Department of Commerce had been developing during the last three years with industry to eliminate waste. It has been found possible, he said, to obtain practical results by voluntary action, the function of the government being to bring together the industries that they might unite for such action as would serve the common interest. Secretary Hoover said the fact that timber was being cut at a rate' four times faster than It was being re placed, called for ,immediate and con structive action. Tlio problem for the committee, he added, dealt with the problems faced in making for economy of use after the forest had become a commercial product. Announcement was made by Mr. Hoover that an anonymous gift of $25,- 000 a year for two years had been re ceived, to serve as the' nucleus for financing the investigations which the committee will undertake. He recom mended that the program of the com mittee take the form of day-to-day op erations, with studies being made of specific industries to ascertain the full facts, and then to be considered from the Standpoint of their relation with other Industries, to the end that the by-products of one industry might be utilized wherever possible by another. One of the faulty functions of the present-day commercial and industrial fabric, Secretary Hoover contended, was that industries had not been brought together to co-operate In the national interest. Such co-operation, he said, would not only bring economy of operation of industry, but would result in a more efficient use of raw materials. Paper Industry. . A report on behalf of the American Paper and Pulp association was made by Norman W. Wilson, president of that o.rganiation. He said the paper and pulp Industry was tackling the problem from two ends. More and more mills were employing foresters to secure expert treatment of the tim ber and to reproduce their wood sup plies, he said. At the finishing end of the industry increasing attention was being given to research for new uses for by-products. Hugh i. Baker of New York, secre tary of the same organization, said that while the paper and pulp industry consumed 6,000,000 cords of wood an nually, this was but 4 per cent of the timber cut In the United States. The value of paper products' and paper goods Is about $24,000,000,000. • The industry, he said, has two prob lems, one technical and the other com-, merelal. In the technical field decay of wood and utilization of decayed woods has been combated by the forest products laboratory. Hardwoods were being used with success where ,they were not formerly usable and where a decade ago foresters regarded the hardwood trees as a nuisance: Howard Andrews of Nashville, rep resenting the National Association of Railroad Tie Producers, said, that through the use of wood preservative the industry already had reduced the replacement of ties from a rate of 325 per mile In 1920 to 90 per mile In 1924. Col. W. B. Greely of the federal for est service, who will act-as vice chair man of the new conservation commit tee, argued for the • establishment of some sort of clearing house and guid ing agency to aid In the conservation desired. Heligoland Fort Razed by Blasts Arsenal Destroyed in Keeping With Peace Terms. Heligoland. — Inhabitants of this little wind-swept Island which has been converted from the status of. a fortress and submarine base to that of a peaceful district of fisher folk who follow entertainment of summer visitors as a side line, have been won dering of late how the great change which has taken place here is going to affect their business. The outer entrance to the harbor has been' completely blocked, as part of the scheme of-dismantlement, and rendered useless for all but fishing smacks and small pleasure boats bring ing summer tourists from the conti nent.

While this work was in progress great numbers of visitors arrived from spring until fall to witness the differ ent phases of transmission, but with the blasting away of the fortifications at an end, the' great guns taken down and melted into peace-time Imple ments, the Inhabitants feel the public generally will lose Interest In this one time island arsenal which the Ger mans took 24 years to equip at a cost of approximately $85,000,000. Nearly 200,000 cubic yards of con crete and brick work was demolished In the harbor works, 60,000 feet of drilling’ was carried out and about 300,000 pounds of explosives used In the operations. Demolition of the for tifications was accompanied by cut ting up the numerous guns by means of oxy-acetylene and oxy-hydrogen flame, by the burning of holes In the gun turrets as a preliminary to break ing them up by explosives, by drill ing and blasting and removal of the concrete gun emplacements, and the destruction of extensive underground chambers which served as an enor mous storehouse and where the Ger man gunners lived. The terms of peace stipulated that the work should be done at the cost of the German government by the aid of German labor. Now that this has all. been.done the inhabitants say they feel much more happy and contented.

Therefore, the newspaper that eu- i iers a Iicld already occupied, a field | where support is not in sight, is a f creation of the occasion which can I not hist Iiy legitimate means; and a >| newspaper that exists in any other wav is not desirable and will fail in 4 tl i in I as I he newspayer failures such as the I imes mentions were in parts 110 Ioui due to the over-auibitious jciiemesol ultra-boosters, combined J witii a self-interest that is always ::| demanding service —yaud usually aj Iree service—01 a newspaper. In I the old days it was thelgeneral idea that a uewspaper existed to serve apolitical party; that the paper was called iuto existence and con tinued to.exist to boost the political party with which it affiliated;. Fail-: tire to do that was i reason. . W hat ever else the paper did was iucid • cHtal to the main purpose. The newspapers, led by the greatest ol I North Carolina editors, the late J. I I'. Caldwell, got awav from that :Sj with the begiuuing bf the present century. Now the chief idea is. to publish a real uewspapei—with the acient 011 news—the political part being mcideutal, according as tie publisher may feel interested. But with the elimination of the idea that it was the business and the duty of the newspaper to boost the parly ou all occasion, there has come another idea that it was the business and the duty of the news- ■1 Piper to boost the party on all oc I cjoton, there has come another idea ol the same variety, namely; That Hit iitwspaper exists and is main tamed to “bodst"—"boost -the town! ’ Every newspaper is" of couise loyal to its home community and does, m one .way or another, more to serve that community, day by day und week by week, than- other agency; and the uewspaper man who-kuows his business, the ‘-al newspaper man who is en- 1Jngcd in ihe work as a business or a profession, knows that the be-t ttuucc lie can render is to publish 'be best newspaper possible. But tbc idea of the ultra booster is that tbe paper should day after day, week alter week, devote near ajl-af its space 10 felling what a good town it represents;; what we have ■md what we are going to have whether we ever have it io r'not. I acts are not expected to count. It 'luisI bt the whole aim of the ptib- .lcaIion to boost, even wheu there lsOothingto boost, and iucluded 111 that boosting Js frequent men 1011 of industries, the business- of ddnicluals and enterprises, .which s Iiothiiig more or less than free ^ 'ort lsiiig of the most valuable I vl' ^0r tbose affected _ That is e(,ml W!"’v of tIten'. whether their ^mifribuiion to the paper is a Single 1 Criptionl which may’ or may "ot be paid promptly. • s ilK take a careful look' at the coiii„10"-' ^ be business tuau in a Jn cmuiultV wants business. He islerCSted iu lUe growlll of £Ue NUMBER 49; community and; in various enter prises not solely as a philanthropist. He may not always have a selfish purpose in. helping to promote, or boost, but at bottom lie expects to benefit; and it is a fact that fre quently Those who talk much a bout advancinjf public interests are moved solely;by enhancing value of real estate, helping- an- enterprise in which they .are interested, or in some other way. But we have all that in any community growth vvithout thought of direct or special benefits, nobody expects a -business man to turnover his entire business and use that business and his time and his money solely fot the gener al good. That is expected only of one class of ousiness—the news paper. Isn’t that peculiar, when when you reflect on it? A real newspaper man established a paper as a business. He is engaged iu the public business — publishing news and 'adverting—same as an other is in the mercantile or bank business,, etc. He has publicity vehicle in which he rents space and and he sells the manufacted pro duct—the printed copy. Now jus< why should a btisines of that son devote its resources entirely, or practially that, to building up the community and helping others folks to make money? It takes a bunch of money—more than the average man thinks—to meet the payroll ol a very modest publication The paper has to'm eet expenses or il can’t goon: and surely the editor and publisher is entitled to a mod est profit- that he tuay lake care ol himself and his folks, same as' any other busiuess man. That will be admitted on reflection; but you wouldu’t know it, judging by the ideas that the ultra boosters often put out with reference to news papers. . A word iu conclusion: Any legit iinate newspaper enterprise, desires the advancement of its community as a matter of pride and selfish im terest; and the legitimate newspaper does its best to make itself worthy of the community. But its output IniiJjt be regulated bv the leg timste patronage it can secure from its field. Making expenditure beyond its income means ruin J and thal soon; and receiving gifts or contri butions to establish obligations means the same thing in the end, and discredit along with it. No newspaper man worthy of th'e name will figure in an enterprise that does uot mean legitimated and s’raigbt business. He will uot be a parly to putting over selfish schemes for anybody in the name of patriotism, whether it is political or business schemes. The . news paper man who doesn’t control his owu busitiess. uuaived bv influence and unbribed by gain, is unworthy of trust. No bojjorable newspaper expect to jilease everybody all the time; that is impossible and sensible folks know it. Of course there a; e always people who can’t under stand why the paper doesn't do such things as appeal to them They run their own business as the amount of business they do justifies, but they can’t understand why,a uewspaper should do that way. ______ Os Wasbingloa Trip.

Skillfully drawn is the pen pic ture of President’ Coolidge in the- Juneissueof McClure's Magazine- by Myron M.'"Stearns, who was, given "the run” of ,the Whit£ House-recently to get a "close up”', of the man in the President’s chair? Like many others who have esk- tablished close contact with Mn; Coolidge tjie writer concludes that; tne President is. human, after all,1 like most people. There are times when he talks incessantly. Mr., Stearns tells of a conversation of four hours’ duration in which time Mr. Stearns had little opportunity opportunity to edge 111 a word. That will do much to blast to re putation which has attached itself to Mr. Coolidge as "The Silent Cal.” The author finds Iibundant evid: enee, though, to sustain the ac^ cepted idea of Mr. C0olidg.e’s taci turnity. He recounts a dinuer at which two of the guests made a wager as to the number of words Mrs. Coolidge would speak during the eveniug. Oue of tiie men who iiad laid the wager $10 that Mr, Coolidge would speak three words during the d:nuer became restless as the diuner "wore on” and the President had not yet spoken. One of the men was occupying a chair adjourning that of Mr. Coolidge. -ind - reminded the President of the Wager. "H e bet gro . you wouldn’t say three words, but T bet you would,” he told tile Pye.. sident. The President tieard the story in silence. A moment later >1 r.

' The Davidsoii’ Dispatch is dis tressed for fear some one will be trotted out in opposition to the re- hominatiou of Representative W il liam G. Hammer of the seventh district in the Democratic primaries next year. Hammer voted for the obnoxious child labor bill that con- ^ress attempted: tor. saddle on the people of . the' country forbidding the working of children in indus tries. and later on the farms, be fore they were eighteen years old and there is a gbod deal ol dissatis faction throughout the district over this action of the -"Sig Noise” from Randolph. There is another thing to Le stacked up against Hammer. He voted against the public buildings bills that would have given ,Greens boro, and other cities iu the State a public building of which they are in great need. In this vote he also slapped the cities and toivns of his own district iu the face in re gard to buildings and improve ments ou those already erected-. The Thoniasville appropriation was made IieforeiIlie war and of course the building in that city will be erected over the vote of Hammer. VVe never could see anything to this man. For matiy years, prac tically all of his life, he has been feeding at the public crib and is a- bout time he ivas being retired and a man of real ability sent to con gress from the seventh. The thing for the voters of the seventh dis trict to do would be to elect a Re publican to congress, a man who would ' have .some influence, who would vote right and who would look out for the best interest of the district, a thing that Hahimer hasn’t done. Eut we fei/r, unless there is a laud slide, that the way the seventh district is gerrvmanded iu order to ensure the election, of a Democrat thal there is uot much hope for a Republican.to cross under the wire. However there is nothing like a triai and with the dissatisfaction and resentment toward Hammer, and with a free ballot and a fair count the seventh might be able to send a strong, virile Republican to represent them in congress after 1926.—Union Republican Maybe W.

Some weeks apo Frank D Crist, State commissioner of labor and printing overlooked the hundreds of good honest men in Nii/th Carolina who were capable, and would like to have the job of IaborJagent and sent n 'rth and brought one R O Pickard down here arid gave him the job Pickard was supposed to be an agent of Grist’s department to place men to work in the trucking belt around Wilmington and - other points in eastern Carolina He had a car, strange he did not use one Everett’s Packards, and ac- c rding to press reports, it is a leged 'hat he “ ta.nked up” in Wilmington Friday and ran afoul of tbe police When arrested ir. Ts chtrged that ’he was in an intoxicated condition and a small amount of liq-iof was found in his car. At a hearing before the Wilming ton ^recorder his . car was ordered confiscated and he was convicted of operating a car while under the in fluence of liquor, fined $50 and or dered to j.til for 48 hours. The fine howewr was suspended on condi tion that he not drive a car in New Hanover county in 12 months, Pick ard appealed to the Superior court and a bond of $750 was ri qoired “Now here ii where the wnndej fill Mr. Giisi comes in.

Grist is the same bird that fired an ex-service tnap from his office and named a hosiery salesman instead and also made a j ib for a hrother of Frank Hainp ton, secretery to Senator Simmons. Shipman, as commissioner was a- bout. the limit but Gust is ten times worse tham Shipman ever dared to be. It does look like people of North Carolina could get a compet ent man to fill this important posi tion. N In commenting oii the act of the Honorable Mr. Pickard, late of the ' Narth” now a satellite of Crist’s, the Statesville Landmark says that "the motorist who got in trouble at Wilmiiigtan was a State employe, it will be noticed. A f°w days ago the newspapers recorded that a State employe, or one formerly in the em ploye, or one formerly in the em ploy of a State bureau, had been sued for a gmibling debt, and the CHii ta held with him because gam bling debts are not collecticle by 1 iw.

The Hunt For Place. Revenue Commissioner R A. Doughton had 17 clerical positions and 407 applications formerly made for 1 hem.

It is evident ^how that the high hopes of those of us who want a bridge built Between Davidson and Dkvie counties have been some w hit let down by recent events. There has been a tardiness in get ting action on the matter that has not been reassuring. The Davie county board ^has certainly taken no step looking toward participa tion in the proposed loan to the State Highway Commission, as authorized in the bill passed at the' last Legislature. True, there is time vet; blit valuable time has al ready passed. If the bridge is as important as all who have looked into the situation believe it. is then the time that has gone might well have been utilized in getting down to a basis for action. The Davidson board recently passed a resolution looking to a join meeting with the Davie.board, but the reported attitude of the latter board does not give hope for much encouragement from that side of the river. In the beginning Mocksville interests snowed splen ed activity in the organized effort to get action on the proposed bridge Uut mouths have passed since there has beer, auv word from that com- munitv. They may still be an xious to have the bridge built but 1 heir anxiety is not being convert ed into action. Their stir in State circles over accepting loans from counties for • .uildinjr'' roads and biidges may prove a serious onstacle to putting through, the Yadkin Bridge propo sal.- However in this case there seems to have been a well defined understanding with members of the State Highway Commission that such a loan would be accepted. We are of the opinion that if the matter of- securing the loan and providing for the interest can be arranged that such a loan and pro viding for the interest can be ar ranged that the State- Highway Commission will stand ieady to carry b t its former proposal. The matter of building this bridge was brought to head when Commission' er Hfll raised his objection to .the entire practice of accepting loans with the agreement to .repay. It was the proposal of several coun ties that they would put up mil- li.ons that brought the Commission face to face with this problem, and such special proposals of unusual merits as the Yadkin bridge, which in fact should stand in a position of priority. The Dispatch hopes that (he or ganization formerly working for this bridge will be revived aud that it will take steps to straighten out !the Mtuation. There can be 110 j argument over the wisdom of build I ing this bridge.- Unlessthe inter- I ested citizens get busy though ; there is serious doubt as to it be ing built for a good while yet.

TO OBEY PftDT SWEEPING DEMANDS EOR DIS ARMAMENT ARE MADE BY ALLIED NATIONS. London.—Germany’s failure to carry out ttie disarmament requirements of the Versailles treaty, were outlined In detail in the note the allied powers have presented to the German gov ernment. the text of which was made public here. The note was handed to Chancel lor Luther in Berlin by Baron D’Aber-; non, the British ambassador, repres enting the council of ambassadors. Germany must comply with an ex tensive li3t of rectifications and de mands before the disarmament obliga tions of the peace treaty are consid ered fulfilled, justifying commence ment of evacuation with the first, or Cologne, zone of occupation in accord ance with the Versailles pact and the withdrawal of the allied control com mission. The chief of these sweeping de mands includes radical modification of the reichswehr’s general staff, re duction of the country’s military forces to 100.000 men and suppression of short term enlistments. The military character of the security police must be ablished and the force itself reduc ed from 180,000 to 150,000. Whole sale destruction of industrial plants of the Krupps and a dozen other big con cerns which in their present state are lield adaptable for the production of war materials is demanded. After referring to .. previous com munications and the report of the con trol commission which established Ger many's shortcomings, the note states the allied governments “consider it of capital importance to place in the foreground of their argument that the defaults unless promptly rectified would in the aggregate enable the German government eventually to re constitute an army modelled on the principles of a nation in arms. “This would be directly counter to the treaty of peace," continues the note.” under which German army was to be used exclusively for the main- tenance of internal order and for the control of the German frontier. It Is this circumstance which, while it de monstrates the importance of each in dividual default, renders the total of these defaults so serious a menace to peace.” THiU D A V IE R E C O R D , M O C K SV TL L E.

Washington.-—From several quarters come an increasing .number of sug gestions that new public holidays be added to the already fairly long list. Wilson followers, Hamilton admirers, friends of Boosevelt and many others, actuated by motives of hero-worship, have advocated that one day of each year be set aside to commemorate the memory of three American leaders. If ail these intended subjects were thus honored America would lead as a nation of holidays. Considering Its age it already leads. For such coun tries as. England^ France, Italy and Germany .,are mrich older and have many more heroes to honor, many more excuses for a day of rest. Yet England has. but eight, France but twelve and Italy ten. In France no holidays are officially dedicated to honor heroes. In a strict seDse of the word, the United States has no national legal holidays. Thanksgiving might be counted one exception to this rule, as the President’s* proclamation virtually makes it so. In a legal sense, how ever, only the District of Columbia is duty-bound to observe it. . By Common Consent. The same, procedure holds in regard to all of the so-called national holi days. By common consent, certain of . them are set aside by all of the state legislatures and observed. If the leg islatures care to stray from the flock, that is their .privilege. Since legal and public holidays are to all’practical purposes inseparable, no endeavor is made in the tabulation of holidays by states which follows, to distinguish among them: Alabama, 14; Arizona, 33; Arkansas, 14; Cali fornia, 14; Colorado, 13; District of Columbia, 7; Connecticut, 11; Dela ware, 11; Florida, 14; Georgia, 10; Idaho, 11; Illinois, 11; Indiana, 11; Iowa, 9; Kansas, 11; Kentucky, 11; Massachusetts, 13; Louisiana^ 11; Maine, 12; Maryland, 13; Michigan, 10; Minnesota, 11; Mississippi, 10; Missouri, 13; Montana, 13; Nebraska, 13; Nevada, 12; New Hampshire, 11; New Jersey, 13; Nctv Mexico, 9; New Tork, 12 (inclusive of Spring and Fair primary, aot legal); North Carolina. 13; North Dakota, 13; Ohio, 11; Okla homa, 10; Oregon, 12; Pennsylvania, 12; South Carolina, : 11; South Da kota, 11; Texas, 13; Utah, 12; Ver mont, 12; Virginia, 11; Washington, 11; West Virginia, 10; Wisconsin, 10; Wyoming, 11; From this total; one may draw an average of twelve national holidays for the country at large. What the !northern, eastern and western states consider a national holiday is not al ways considered so byi the South. OOCXXX)CXXKXXXXX30CXX)OCXXOOO Blame on Gourmands for Torture of Birds NewYorfc—Thousands of song birds are tortured every year In southern France, Italy and Beb gium to satisfy the appetites of gourmands, according to T. Gil bert Pearson, who returned from an international convention for the protection pi birds at Lux embourg. He is head of the Na tional Association of Andubon Societies. "The wealthy gourmands In these countries,” he said, "cap ture various types of song birds and utilize red-hot irons to blind them. The suffering song birds' are then put In cages. “The theory ot the gourmands Is that the cries ot the tortured Mrds are poignant melodies which attract scores of other birds, which are captured and later are served in pies or broiled to satisfy the appetites of these cruel people. AU of Ihe delegates agreed to attempt to .frustrate these practices.” Washington’s birthday is everywhere observed, but by many Southern states the birthday of Lincoln is ab sent from the holiday calendar. In stead, Lee’s birthday on January 19 Is honored, and that of Jefferson Davis on June 3. Shrove Tuesday is more generally designated as a holi day by the legislatures of the South than the North. Jefferson’s birthday on April 13 Is already on many of the Southern calendars, though as yet on none of those In Northern states. No Disagreement • Independence day, Washington’s birthday, Labor day, Columbus day. Decoration day, the Armistice, Thanks-' giving, Christmas, New Year1S-On these there seems to be no disagree ment among the states. In the request for more days on which to honor our national heroes, other countries read an . interesting phase of American character. We do so much rushing about over here, are Invariably geared at such a high speed that foreigners may well conclude we need m ore, holidays than they do. England Is easy-going throughout, the year, so only needs eight Italy can worry along with ten official holidays, though of course, the realm is honey combed with local fete-days, mostly of a religious nature, and overnight political . celebrations. France and Germany, with -many more events In history to commemorate, have many more excuses for resting than has the United States, which finds 12 In the year sufficient - Out of 365 days, the average Ameri can citizen now has a total of 101 /or recreation. Fifty-two of these days are his Sundays, 26 of them ltt» Saturday afternoons, The remaining number includes 12 holidays and an allowance of 11 days for his annual ,vacation, this figure excluding his two usual Sundays and Saturday after noons off. Cop Thinks Dog Is Cat; Shoots It Nine Times Pittsburgh.—Policeman John J. Joyce is in difficulties. Humane society officials declare' be Is disgracefully cruel. They are up In arms. Authorities on firearms denounce him as a “rotten marksman” , and city effi ciency experts declare hlia guilty *f shameful waste of the municipality’s powder and lead. Joyce was called to the home ot Fanse Sirella, 217 Renova street Hazel wood, to kill Sirella’s pet poodle. The dog had !suffered a broken leg, Joyce took a stance six feet away and fired five shots into the animal. It squirmed and yelped. Four more shots ended its life. Joyce’s comrades In the police de partment explained that Joyce neVer had seen any small fancy poodles and supposed the animal was a oat "He1' gave it a bullet for each of Its nine lives," they explained. But that doesn’t satisfy the Humane society folk. They have supplied the police with a book on how to kill pain lessly. Suit Over Idol Lasts Seven Years <•>- British Tribunal Sends Back to Indian Court It London.—A seven-year lawsuit over the guardianship of a Hindu Idol was among the curious suits brought be fore the judicial committee of the privy council (the final Supreme Court of Appeal of the British em pire) and the committee, after weigh ing the evidence with due regard to Indian susceptibilities and the innate love of the Oriental for lengthy and Involved judgments, succeeded In “passing the buck” rather neatly. In a word, the tribunal ordered that the suit be re-tried In India and that the Idol be legally represented by “a disinterested next friend, • appointed by the Indian court," who should en deavor to set forth the viewpoint of the Idol itself. Large Sums Spent Large sums of money have already been expended In the legal Sght for the idol, which arose from the pro visions of the will of a wealthy Cal cutta merchant. Mutty Lall BfulUck, who died 80 years ago. Mutty had created three family gods: a male god —SrI Sri.Budha Shamsunderji; a fe male god (or consort)—Sri Srl Rad- barant, and a “Salgram Slla” (or holy stone)—Srt Srl Raj Rajiswar. These he bequeathed to his adopted son, who later placed them in a shrine.. When the legatee died the family gods Were placed in the charge of his three sons,, each of whom was .to be “Shebalt,” or trustee, for one ye'ar, In succession. The arrangement worked smoothly until the death of the eldest son, whose trusteeship became vested In his heir. Then the second son, Pra- matha Nath Mulllck, built himself a magnificent new mansion and shrine and, during his', term' of trusteeship, he. insisted on removing the male god to a shrine In his own garden. . This action was bitterly resented by his brother and' nephew, 'who con tended that it was contrary to . his grandfather’s deed of dedication, The -first Indian court to which' the case was taken decided after a . lengthy hearing that Pramatha MulUck was entitled to remove the god to his own sbrlne during the term of trusteeship, so long as be treated It with propet reverence and duly returned it to Its original shrine at the completion of his ‘‘term of office.” The court Dt appeal, however, reversed this Judg- ment and laid down that the male and female gods might not be parted. They must be maintained In their original shrine. Not satisfied, Pramatha Muiltck brought the suit through various stages to London, where ,the final judg ment of “The BriUsh Raj” was sought. A great dossier of evidence, text books and authorities on the tangled. ro mance of Indian mythology and Idol worship was-placed before the judi cial committee of the privy council which has just handed down its de cision, in language'flowery enough and sufficiently involved to delight the lawsuit-loving Hindu. British Wisdom. Lord Shaw, of'Dunfermline, famous Scottish Juiist delivering judgment on behalf of the privy council, said that it would be'better In the Inter ests of all concerned that the members of the family should be Joined <and a scheme: formulated to regulate the worship of the idols. He accordingly ordered that the two previous deci sions be set fjside and' the suit re ferred back to the High court at .Fort William, Bengal, for a new. thal Ir which “the idol should appear by a disinterested next friend appointed by the Indian court.” Each party to pay its own costs In the two actions In the Indian courts and the. costs In curred before the privy council. The decision will doubtless be hailed as incontestable proof of the wisdom and justice of the privy council by millions of Hindus, who have been following the progress of the sult-wlth the utmost anxiety, as affecting their rights In the matter of idol worship.

With the record for home runs In a season having'the appearance of having been broken, thie record for team hitting also appears* likely to fall. If hitting can win a pennant; then fans may as well concede tlie American league pennant to Philadelphia. Every man on the team is a hitter, and at least five are home-run hitters. It Is hitting that-has put Philadelphia In the lead of the league, and Lt is hitting, if anything, that will keep her there. O rig in o f B a s e b a ll I s T r a c e d B a c k to E n g la n d The origin of the game of baseball is somewhat obscure, although authori ties are strongly of the opinion that it is a development of the old Eng lish game of rounders. The first ap pearance of any game similar to base ball In this country was in thie early Nineteenth century. A game known as “One Old Cat” was popular with schoolboys In the North Atlantic states. It was played by three boys, each fielding and batting In turn, runs being scored by batsman running to the single base and back’ again with out being cried “out.” There were also modifications of this game wdtb four, six and eifrfit players. As Ine game developed It became known as townball, and in 1833 the Olympic Town Ball club was organized in-Phil adelphia. The first actual matches be tween organized baseball, dubs took place about 1840 and in the neighbor hood of New York. It, was In 1843 that the Washington baseball club was organized, but not until two years later were the first regular rules d raw np by the Knickerbocker Baseball club. The first National association was or ganized In 1858, and the first entirely professional baseball club, the Cincin nati Red Stockings, was organized ten years later.

A slip of paper 4 by C inches, rticii has been placed about various golf cliibs of St. Louis, is said to hare done more for the betterment of the clubs' and of the sport itself than an; other one thing, declared Paul G. Palmer, president of Forest Park Golf club. All the little sign says is: “Treat Your Caddy As You Would Your Own Boy.” Last summer Paul H.

The matter rested there until Palmer, of the For est Park club',' and others, asked for new signs for this season. When asked the reason for the re quest, ‘Palmer said that be felt that lie posters, which reminded golfers of their influence on their own caddies had done as much for the betterment of conditions In general at the Forest Park links as any other one Ogencj. “There is no better way to influ ence a boy directly than in some sort of sport,” Palmer said, ‘‘and the sigh simply serves as a reminder to the men that fellows who caddy for them are watching them all the "hlle, Ii many cases secretly imitating them, not only In the way in which they pin; the game, but In their attitude towd other things. “It seems to me that the caddj- master himself determines in a large way the kind of golf club one has. It Is hard' to see that unless you are very familiar with the operation of the dub, but it Is true, nevertheless.'

O tlier hens on tne poultry farm w ere fed green snrouteu oats daily.

U se fo r T r a p N e s ts A trap nest Is a laying nest so arranged that after a hen en ters It she is confined until re leased by the attendant. When possible it is advisable to trap-test the layers for the following reasons: 1. To tam e the birds, thereby tending toward increased egg production. 2. To fum ish definite knowl edge concerning traits and hab its of individuals. 3. To furnish the only satis factory basis for utility .or other breeding. 4. To eliminate the nonproduc tive hen. 5. To add m echanical pre cision to judgment and experi ence in developing and m ain taining the utility of a flock.

Tlie following are som e: Popovers.—This recipe m akes half a dozen and there will never be any leftovers, if tli/y are well- baked. Popover cups are necessary—deep granite cups are best. B eat one egg until light,-add one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, then bent in one cupful of milk, then one cupful of flour; beat well. Pour info well-but tered popover cups and place in a hot oven for the first fifteen m inutes; then after the popovers have popped well reduce and finish baking three-quarters of .an hour. Baking pow der Biscuit.—Take one cupful of flour, two teaipoonfuls of baking powder, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of fat, and one-third of a cupful of milk. Sift the dry ingredients, cut in the fat, and add the milk. D rop by rounding tenspoon- fuis in a baking pan. Bake in a hot oven. This recipe m akes eight biscuits. Potato Sour.—Scald a cupful of milk w ith a slice of onion; remove the onion and add one-fourth of' a cupful of m ashed potato, salt, pepper and minced •parlsey. Let come to the boiling point, add a teaspoonful of butter and sprin kle the parsley over the soup as it is served. Chopped chives m ake a nice garnish and flavor, if desired. Norwegian Pudding.— Soak one cup ful of sago-or use the m inute tapioca. Boil tw o cupfuls of gooseberries In two cupfuls of w ater, add sugar to taste. W hen the fruit is soft, rub through a sieve and return to the saucepan w ith the Sago. Cook until th e sago Is clear. Mold, and when set, serve w ith plain or w hipped cream: Tapioca baked w ith apples, pine apples, pears or peaches and served when cold w ith cream and sugar makes a m ost dainty dessert. F ruity D essert Dishes. F ru it com binations are alw ays de lightful and it is a good way tb use a sm all quantity of fruit. A few slices of pineapple, a ba nana or two and an apple w ith a bit of chopped celery m akes a m ost tasty salad, served with a good salad dressing, or w ith, a sweet dress ing, m akes a nice dessert. . A pricot W hip.—Take two cupfuls of apricots, one-half cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful of lemon juice, the' w hites of tw o eggs. If the fruit is fresh, rub through a sieve; if dried, cook and put through a sftve, adding the sugar and letting them stand to season. Fold in the egg w hites, beaten stiff. B ake in a buttered dish In a slow oven for 20 m inutes. Serve with cream or a soft custard, garnished with cubes of bright Jelly. Delmonico Special.— Select six or anges of medium size. Cut a slice from the end of each and carefully remove the pulp. M ix the pulp w ith one-half cupful each of dates and walnut meats coarsely chopped and one-half cupful of coconut. BefilI the shells. B eat an egg w hite-until stiff, add one-fourth of a cupful of sugar and place a m arsh mallow on top of each. Brown In the oven until a golden brown; serve at once. , a A pricot Ice.— Soak four cupfuls of dried apricots in four cupfuls of w ater until soft ; cook until tender. Press through a potato ricer to remove the skins, add one-half cupful of sugar to the pulp and the w ater in which they w ere soaked, and cook ten min utes. Bem ove from the fire, cool, add the juice of Jhree lemons and freeze. W hen partly frozen add the stiffly beaten w hites of three eggs and finish freezing. F ruit Ice Cream.—T ake a quart of crashed, strained berries, adding a ta blespoonful of lemon juice, sweeten to taste and add a quart of thin cream. Freeze as. usual. L ater in the season w hen peaches are ripe (or canned peaches m ay be used) this m akes a de licious dessert.- B ananas, w ith the Juice of oranges and lemon, the 'ba nanas put through a sieve, is another .well-liked combination. Pim ento Cream.—M easure and com bine tw o cupfuls each of hot milk and veal o r chicken stock. Place In a dou ble boiler and'heat. Cream four table spoonfuls of bu tter and add three of flour m ix well w ith two tablespoonfuls of cold m ilk and add to the m ixture In the double boiler. T ake one-half a can of pim entoes, press through a sieve, or notato ricer, add one teaspoonful of 'g rated onion, a speck of cayenne, one- half teaspoonful of salt, pepper and tobasco sauce t'o taste.

(Prepared by the United Statea D epartm ent of' Agriculture. I The fight to save the oat crop from one of its most formidable enemies, black stem rust, is being waged from all possible augies known to science. Not only is’ the disease being elim inat ed by the campaign to destroy its al ternate host plant, the common bar berry, but It is also being rendered less destructive by the "arm oring” of the defendants through creating a natural resistance In varieties. The United States D epartm ent of Agriculture is allied with the various state experi m ent stations of the oat-producing areas In an effort to develop varieties of oats that are naturally immune from or highly resistant to the attacks of the disease. Two years’ efforts to single out varieties that are highly re sistant and to breed from them other varieties that will retain this quality along with other desirable characters have shown rem arkable progress In the development of resistant varieties. Resistant Varieties. th is spring the United States De partm ent of A griculture sent to 51 co operating stations 10 varieties of oats for testing for resistance under local conditions and environm ent of these stations. Included in these 10 vari eties were two selections, Minnesota 686 and 687, developed by the Minne sota Agricultural experiment station from crosses between the W hite T ar tar (W hite Russian) and a Swedish importation, the Victory,, and Minota X W hite T artar, respectively, which have shown exceptional promise In their resisting power for the past few years at stations in that state. The Ricliland (Iowa 105) and the W hite T artar (W hite Bussian) varieties which during the tests at 24 stations during 1923 showed only a trace of infection, and less than I per cent in fection last year, are also included. A new variety, the H eigira Rustproof, introduced from South Africa a few years ago, showed equally good resist ance and will be further tried a t these 51 stations tills year. Fortify Against R ust The expansion from 24 stations co operating last year to a total of 51 stations In this country and several in Canada, m arks a renewed and deter mined effort to fortify the oat crop against the losses from blaek-stem rust by the development of resistant vari eties. A specialist will visit each sta tion during the growing season to cheek up on the results of the test. The susceptibility to Infection of the different varieties will be m easured by. comparing them with the infection on control varieties, those which are known to be defenseless against the disease and which will be sown In the testing plats along with the ones on trial. Better Poultry Is H e l p i n g A l l S t o c k E g g -L a y in g I s . a S e v e r e S tr a in o n Y o u n g P u lle t Pullets from the chick stage nearly up to the laying stage should not be fed too much com. The prim e pur pose in feeding should be to provide the constituents that build up bone and muscle. ,The pullet lacking these will not prove a good producer during the w inter months, and even though she does begin to lay well she will not be able to keep up the pace because the strain is too great for her unde veloped constitution. Egg-laying is a severe strain on the pullet, and unless a .good bodily foundation has been, built up and there is vigor and vitality, the fowl will not be able to stand the grind. It is when the pullet has reached a full, strong, m ature growth that the laying ration should be fed, and this should contain corn—plenty of It. The. corn will keep her In good flesh while she is laying and it is Im portant that she go to her roost at night w ith a stuffed crop. Growing mashes and scratch feeds with little com in them will build up a good fram.e, and a good range will induce vigor and vitality. Then the egg machine is ready to go Into action. No machine of any .kind can be . effi cient unless It is built to w ithstand a strain.. The egg machine Is 'no ex ception to this rule. -.

Recent trials by several agricul tural stations dem onstrate that it is also suited to pasture purposes to be alternated with the .regular rotation pastures./ The crop recovers rapidly when eaten off and roots sufficiently well so that the plants are not pulled up when pastured. vCattle. relish it as a green feed and seem, to m aintain their milk, flow as well upon It as they, do when pasturing the regular , pas tures. ' ' ‘ . S e e d P o u lt iy Y a r d s One of the best ways of destroying the bacteria that bother poultry is to put the yards under cultivation. . In addition, the seeding Ofl the yards is very im portant from the standpoint of furnishing green stuff for the fowls.

Like aspara gus, it produces a supply'early in the spring when fresh vegetables are In groat demand. New' leaves appear from early spring to midsummer, but the leafstalks produced early In .the season are most In demand and the harvest does not usually last more than eight weeks. A fter pulling has stopped, the leaves . are allowed to grow and supply the roots with food m aterial for the n e st year’s crop.. Rhubarb roots are hardy and require no w inter protection.

One morning a neighbor'^ no ticed that lights were burning In the. Leslie house. He ran up the steps arid rang the bell. T here was no re sponse, and after- a few hours the neighbors decided that something was wrong inside, and that an entrance must be made at once.. The front door, was accordingly forced open, and as the men went in they could see into the rootn beyond the hall, the-slt- ting room. Mr. Leslie was sitting with a paper across bis -knee, apparently asleep, and on a coucli near by lay his wife. It took hut a few moments to ascer tain that both Iiad been dead for some hours. Their faces were peaceful and composed; there were po signs of dis turbance In the house. Every possible Inquiry w as' made. No trace of poison or of tonT pipy; could he found. Num berless theories were qdvanced. and the wonder and excitement over the tragic death of the young couple grew dally. A fter some m onths their relatives removed the furnishings, and “To L et" appeared in the cottage win dows. . The house \yas Immediately taken by a man from Boston, w hose, fam ily consisted; besides himself, of his wife and two little, girls. - None of this fam ily had heard the story" of the Leslies, nor did they hear it until they had been in the cottage for' some weeks; One night, after they had occupied the dwelling for over a week, the man of the family was awakened by a sudden scream. His wife awoke at the same moment, and exclaim ed; “One of the children must have the nightm are." but just then the two little girls rushed into the room, exclaiming, “W hat’s the m atter, m other? W hat are you scream ing about?” Almost before they had finished speaking two more scream s In quick succession rang through the house. The place was carefully searched; but no cause for the disturbance could be found., The next night at about the same hour like sounds, vvere heard. After, that Mr. W eston made inquiries of the neighbors. None Qf them had been disturbed. One suggested th a t1 pos sibly a cat w as shut up som ew here1 In the house and liad made the noised heard, but a careful searolfcof the-en tire prem ises failed to discover'any sueb commonplace solution of tlie mysterious sounds. A week passed without any recur rence, of the midnight sounds, when one night Sirs. W gston awoke from a most terrible dream . She dream ed that she w as lying upon the couch In the sitting room. In front of her stood a young m an who held a pillow In his hands. “I shall stifle- you;’’ he said ,clearly.; “It’s no use to struggle,” Mrs. W eston dream ed th at she tried to -scream ; that once, twice, three tim es she endeavored to rise from the couch to-’push aw ay the pillow, but could not. From this dream she awoke sud denly, and, as she lay endeavoring- to. overcome Its ' impression, a gasping shriek, quickly followed by two more, aw akened her husband, and again sent the little girls flying In terror to their m other's room, This tim e Mrs. W eston held 'herself- responsible, for the terrible - screams. "I’ve h a d .a dreadful dream ,, and I suppose I scream ed w ithout knowing It.’’ she said. She had hardly finished this explanation when again catrie the scream s, the last dying aw ay ,In a stifled moan. • . ’ . The family w as hy this tim e thor oughly. terrified. They had heard the story of the Leslies, and w ithout wait- ting for ,further experiences In 1 the house they moved at once. Tbelr story got about ’the" town, ,with the result that the house w as va cant for a year. - Then a family, con sisting'of an elderly couple, Mr. . and Mrs. W alters, arid their, son. a young man about , twenty-five, moved in. Thfe rem ainder of the story was told me by this, son, and I will give- it In his own. words as nearly as.possible. “I w asn't • afraid. of any haunted house. My father w as deaf; so it. would take a reasonably loud screoiii to wake him, and my m other was a sensible woman. The house just suit ed us, W e-got nicely settled In .a few weeks, and my elder brottjer and iiif wife c<ime out from Boston to'm ake, us a v isit . The 6rst night they were there I stayed In town for the theater. The train I cam e -out In left ’ ii' few minutes after eleven, and I .'reached' the house at about , a quarter before twelve. I was nearly ready for bed when - a shriek like; that .’of - a person, struggling for his life.sonnde'd'.thrdugh' the_ house. I liurrled Into Oie ’hail, ^nd as I did so my brother opened his a secondhand a third scream followed, By th is.tim e even .father’s deaf ears bad* been penetrated, and we aJl sat up talking- the m atter over fa r into the night before w e.felt-like sleep. *In the end we decided not to men tion tlie occurrence. -t. W e thought of several possible explanations of the noise. The next m orning we made a careful exam ination of tlie house ami surroundings. We- m ade Inquiries as to- late trains, thinking we m ight have m istaken the shriek of an engine for a hum an voice; but all our con jecture led to nothing. We could find no satisfactory re a so n .fo r the dis turbance. ' V “I made Inquiries, about the Leslies, and found that many people believed ‘that Leslie had stifled his wife, and then taken some subtle poison which left no .trace; but there w as no evi dence to support this theory; no sigh of poison had been found, no cause could be given for such on act, and nothing could explain the m idnight scream s. A week passed quietly, when one night my brother aw akened our mother, telling her th at his w ife w as ill.' She had awakened from a bad dream alm ost suffocated, and my m other worked over her for some tim e before she w as restored. She refused to 'tell her dream , but we w ere weft assured that it w as a repetition of Mrs. W estoh’s. The next m orning my brother and h is-w ife went to their home. V , “I Iiad one more experience In that house which I shall never‘forget. My father w as to be out one night until midnight at the m eeting of a society of which he w as a member, and my m other and I decided to w ait up for him. “About eleven o’clock m other lay down OD the couch and w ent to sleep. The room was brightly lighted, and I sat near -the couch reading. : “Just as I heard my father come In I was startled by a sudden moan from .my mother. I turned quickly tow ard the coach, and as I did so I saw plainly that the sofa pillow lay upon . her face. I snatched it away, and aw akened, her w ith some little difficulty. “M eantime my father had come Into the room, and as he entered, a scream, terrible in. its nearness and intensity, ,rang out, thrilling us all w ith a sick ening shock. W e left the next day." Tliis finished his story. No explana tion of these happenings has ever been given. The Leslies' death re m ains a niystery, and to explain the Presence that occupied this cottage after their death would be to account for a side of life which we barely touch and cannot comprehend. The house is still to let. Secret of Chemistry Hidden in the Brain “Know th y self’ was the advice given nearly twenty-five centuries ago by a Greek philosopher. N earer, our own tim e A lexander Pope expressed the sam e notion when he said "the proper study of m ankind Is man.” , TrobabIy this idea is as old as thought itself. Tet, though we have learned a vast am ount about the stars, the earth, the anim als, insects and plants, and the hum an body, we have found out very Uttle about the thing Inside of us th at m akes use of the body. Collier’s says. W e neither know ourselves, nor can we run ourselves half so well as we do our automobiles. W e do not know w hat it Is th at makes us think. We cannot tell where our emotions originate, and why it is that we, as individuals s>rid crowds, do many things of w hich. we are afterw ard asham ed, W e . cannot say w hat causes epimes, riots and w ars any m ore than w hat makes m en play the hero In :sinking , ships. To borrow the words of Dr. Alexis C arrel: “No one suspects the m anner In which mem ory, intelligence, courage, judgm ent and Im agination are connected with the brain cells.” - Yet the more we gain and apply Inform ation about other tilings the. more necessary does Inform ation about our inner selves' become. Chem istry and spiritual progress seem far apart, yet the-secret of both may be In the, sam e bubble In the brain. Somfe of the saints of past ages retired into the woods and des erts., W ho knows but those of the futiire will be found in laboratories? And our sins, like.our bodily diseases, may be cured by a more perfect knowl edge. / A a stria n s H e a v y S m o k e r s The u s e -ot tobacco-- is increasing enormously in A ustria. Although the population today is 6,750,000, the state factories now turn out more cigars than they did before the w ar when the country had a population of 32,000,- 000.

She was so w eak till she couldn’t stand, and had to be carried like a baby. It looked like nothing would save h er th a t had been done. For' ’ Troubles “I began, looking around. I knew th at Cardui w as for wo men. I decided to try it for her as all else had failed. She couldn’t eat, she couldn’t sleep, and I w as desperate. “A fter 'taking a few doses of Cardui, we were so glad to note th at she w anted some thing to eat, and w ith each b it of nourishm ent, and each day’s doses of Cardui, she grew stronger and got up out of bed. She is now able to cook, and stronger than in a long tim e.” Cardui has been in success ful use for nearly 60 years in the treatm ent of m any com m on fem ale troubles.

A fter witmssine' the activity nl various vocational callings of the human race (and most of these per) iles are able to work, to i) our opin inn of a growing condition is mater ially enlightened bv learning that a- round four • thousand dollars was dished out to the mail order houses from people residing in this section, in addition to many dollars spent through channels of which we have no acurate knowledge as to the a mount, but certainly adding to the total several hundreds of dollars more. This was the figure for the amount of April. This is alarming, and altogether unheycessay, and if the practice is continued, is destined to sweep from our midst many business which might otherwise continue to help us pay taxes, improve our streets build better schools and answer the call of charity. Men and women if 'scratching your head will make you think out the fact's, then scratch as you have never scratched before. You may argue that you save money by patronizing the mail order bouse and the peddler, but do you? Con sider carefully the quality, the fact you buy before you see and you wail frequently indefinitely for. the arrival of your purchase. Then if it is not satisfactory, you have- little recourse in the m atter of return ot exchange, or gu ess-w ork a s -to whether or not you will Better con ditions next lime.

Praise For Judge Meekins. L astyear when Judge Isaac M Meekins wap making his memorable campaign for governor • of North Carolina against corruption, incom petence, extravagance and wasteful ness at Raleigh under Democratic rules, there was nothing mean en oughpapers like the Charlotte Ob server, Wilmington Star and others could say about the genial Colouel from. Elizabeth City who told the truth in all his speeches and since his defeat and the election of that great sai.n’t of economy. Governor McLean, it has come to light that every word Judge Meekins said was the truth and he never painted it half as bad as it has been proven to be since the fiercs light of publicity has been turned 01F the Raleigh grafters. But since Col . Meekins has been elevated to the federal bench and is giving such eminent satisfaction as everybody knew that he would, these fawning papers have changed tbejr tune. Listen what the Charlotte Ob server a few days ago had to say in praise of Judge Mepkins: —. Judgelsaac Meekins h asju st con cluded a term o f Federal Court in Wilmington and an opportunity has come to The W ilmington Star that would have been welcomed by The Observer—to give a word in ap; praisement of the North Carolina jurist in his new capacity. The Star gives him due credit for ability as a judge and -for knowleged of the law, and spacifies; ‘Dignified, courteous and impartial, Judge Meekins’ con ducted of the Federal Court during the week has been such as to inspire respect for the court and its rulings He has displayed that even judicial temperament so essential to success on the bench, and his judgm ents have carried - the proper - a pporUbn- riient of the jysjtice and mercy ’ Judge Meekins is a Republican, and these are Denn cratic papers talking about him ’’—Union Republican Probably-the idea for Mr. Coo-' lidge’s mecbahical horse was suggest ed by the stationary doiikey so long ridden by Mr. Bryan.—Brooklyn Ea- gle. . : - , European nations seem to he ap- j proachirig the debt settlem ent ne j gotiations about the w ay that, the ! average uiaff. go.es to the dentist. I Pessimism Unreasonable. Thecalam ity howlersstill pollute the atmosphere with their doleful wails "Business is rotten I don't see any future for mv business The next, y-ar doesn’t promise much -prosperity for m e.” they say. And so the sit supinely back and wait for business to come to them. - They don’t advertise—thev don’t disseminate the atmosphere of op timism which is necessary to pros, pferjty. And then they kich and cry because business condTions do not W it them. In spite of the fact that business statisticians who have studied cOn ditions throughout the country de clare that we are on the upgrade in practically every industry, they con tinue to mourn over the business their own indolence drives away from their doors. ' Executives of the American Rail way association held a m eeting in Chicago about a week ago. Basmg their statem ents on careful' obser vation of conditions throughout the country, they declared that 1925 is going to be an excellent business year They are accordingly planning to spent $750,000,000 on class I rail, roads alone for new equipment, iiii • proveinents on right of way,- and ad ditions to -rolling stock. And thev are going to moke this huge expen diture because tney feel sure that, business for the balance of the year will warrant it. These eqecutives are very close to the v.erv heart of the business life of America. They have a ca'reful ana lysis of conditions, ana they say that business this summer is going to show marked ’'mprovement. - If they did not believe what they say, they would, not plan to spend Inal business: T lf they- did" hot know that prosperity" was' on the way and for .most business already here, they would not have arisen in m eetingand said in effect: ’Businesk of all kinds is showing marked im provement. There is going to be a great dval more freight to haul this coming year than there has been in the past years.' So we've got 11 Fpend to prepare to handle this business ” Of course this may -mean nothing to the calamity howlers They think they know it all. B uttheaction of these railway executives is decided significance to men of common sense and vision. Prosperity is here in fact—or at least it is' in our way and due to ar rive within the next few weeks. But the calamity howlers and pessimists will know nothing about it. Qnly the live wire business men who are abreast of the times. 011 their toes in search of new business, ready to hustle for themselves and their communities, will reap the reward. - E x .

Washington—In discouraging the sarage custom of head-hunting In Borneo, the D utch and B ritish rulers of the country now have the pow erful co-operation of native priests or i llOiediuine men,” according to a late I report, which states th a t a t an assem - : blj? of thousands of th e . natives, or ! Dyaks, a terrible curse w as pro nounced by the head priest on all who revive tribal quarrels. 'The curious custom of head-hunt ing has been in existence In m any of the islands of th e E ast Indies for ages," says a bulletin from the W ash ington headquarters of the N ational Geographic society. “It Is not con fined to any one people, but Is prac ticed by the Dynks In Borneo, other Malays In the sm aller Islands, and by the Segroid M elaneSlans in New Guinea. H um an heads are the m ost highly prized possessions of the head hunters, and the women of the tribes help to perpetuate the custom by fa voring the young m en who collect the most grim trophies. N ot only are the heads of enemies obtained in m ajor warfare, but the young braves of one village will often attack a neighboring village merely for the purpose of ob taining heads. The heads are pre served and dried and hung over the owner’s fireplace, the collections be ing handed down .from father to son. Head-Hunters Become Farm ers. "Under British and D utch rule many of the Dyaks of Borneo have be come peaceable farm ers. This is es pecially true along the coasts and near the navigable rivers. B ut from tim e to time the more savage natives of ,the interior revert to head-hunting, and they have found the seml-clvlllzed ag ricultural natives a source for heads. It is to protect this farm ing pe,ople and to extend civilization m ore w ide ly through the island th a t th e aid of the ‘medicine men’ has been enlisted. “The Dyaks live In ‘long houses' each of which shelters m any fam ilies and Is in effect a village In Itse lt Some of the horizontal ridge-poles of these structures, raised 30 o r 40 feet IQ the air, extend for several hun dred feet. From th e rldge-polfiS the thatched roof sweeps down a t a steep angle to within six or eight feet of-the ground. This is th e floor level, ,the houses being constructed on a plat form supported by piles. O utside the roof is an open veranda, an uncovered ei-ension of the floor platform .' Un der the roof on one side of th e center is an enclosed veranda extending the full length of the communal house. On the other side of the center the space Is divided by partitions Into room s for the various fam ilies. In th e enclosed Eclipse Led to Discovery of New Gas Middletown, Qonn.—A new ?as has been discovered by scientists as a result of the ob servations m ade during th e re cent total eclipse of the. sun, ac~ I cording to Professor Frederick Slocum, head of th e V an Ylecb observatory a t W esleyan uni versity, Professor Slocum says th at the only tim e the scientists can study the gases about the sun is when the sun Is In total eclipse. In January th eir brief observations determ ined that $ there is a gas there who'se pres ence they had n o t' recognized hefore. . ,' Professor Slocum said scien tists are not prepared a s yet to name the gas or to ,discuss Its' probable properties. ' veranda, outside the rooms, are the individual fireplaces over which the treasured head racks are placed. “The D yak men are sm aller than the average W esterner, well propor tioned, and of a type adapted for ac tivity, speed and endurance, which are valuable qualities In jungle inhab itants. T he wom en affect a queer m ethod of adornm ent/. w rapptng them selves In brass corsets m ade of num er ous hoops of cane covered with brass rings. These m etal garm ents cover their bodies from ju st below the arm pits to' the hlpline, and even below. H eavy necklaces and ear pendants are also worn, and the costum e Is com pleted by a length o f cloth folded around to form a short skirt. “Borneo is th e second largest Island In the w orld outside the P olar regions, having ftn area of about 290,000 square m iles—approxim ately th at of Texas and W est Virginia combined. Of this area the N etherlands owns m ore than 200,000 square m iles; the rem ainder Is controlled by G reat B ritain under three jurisdictions, B ritish N orth Bor neo, B runei (or Borneo) and Saraw ak. ■The latter has a rom antic history.

The density of the tangled m ass of vegetation Is equaled, probably, only In parts of the valley of the Ama zon. Enorm ous forest tree3 grow close together, their tops Interlacing -and shutting out the sunlight. Sm aller trees push far up, fighting for a place In the sun, w hile vines w rap them selves about the trunks and ferns fill the rem aining space. The observer from the ground sees little but som ber greens and browns. The color, chief ly orchids and other parasitic plants, is fa r above, topping the sea of foli age. "W here clearings have been m ade B orneo's soil is highly productive. Cof fee, cotton, rice, sugar cane, tobacco and num erous fru its are among' the cultivated crops, w hile forest and orchard products Include rubber, gutta percha, spices, cam phor, nuts and sago. Blch deposits of valuable me tallic • ores, m inerals, petroleum and precious stones have hardly been scratched. “Few er than 2,000,000 Inhabitants, Including natives, Im m igrant M alays, A rabs, Chinese and Europeans, occupy Borneo’s vast area.” U.

C H A P T E R I ~~ No Mortgage , .As if by instinct, B art R ogers inva riably hesitated as he reached the door which proclaimed, on its glass panel, (hat beyond - lay the office of Leon Barrows, attorney at law. i Rogers never had sought to divine the reason; he simply felt the pause to be necessary, In the sam e sort of Banner in which one pauses betbre opening the heavy door of a giant re frigerator. And perhaps there w as a similarity In the ideas; f<tr the office of Leon Barrows w »s frigid—just- as he n as frigid—a great, bare room of plctureless walls. In keeping witlr the room w as the ottorney himself, a white-faced, nar row-eyed person whose long features trere lengthened by the sm oothness of a three-inch bald streak which ran straight back from his forehe&d. Such was the attorney who occu pied the big, uncom fortable chair at the orderly, thronelike desk, and be cause of whoin B art R ogers hesitated, even with his hand on the doorknob, let, withal,' he resented the uncon scious revulsion, for, in spite, of tha Iciness of the m an, bfs thin-lipped snappiness, his general clam m iness of uppearance and of m anner, Rogers could look’upon him as nothing if not a benefactor. It had been the'm oney which had com from his lean hands which had filled the breach w hen B art Rogers had come home to jin d his fath er suf fering from the slo V d eath of paraly sis. It had been this money which had helped rehabilitate the sm all tract of irrigated land three m iles from-Bel- laine—land .which represented the sayr tags and the toil and the faith of^both Bart and his father, which bad bought the seed to so’w, a n d ''^ trried them both until the harvest could come In. Now that harvest had arrived, a n i Bart, with hi’s first check, had hurried to the office of X eon B arrow s, to h a lt' with his hand on the doorknob; then, at last, to smile w ith the happiness of an approaching freedom from debt, and to go in. Leon B arrow s Jooked up swiftly from his w orkless desk.' “Well, what is it?” H e a sk e d 'th e question as though he had f>een dis turbed. B art Rogers knew th at he had not. He w ent forw ard happily, and reached for the pen and ink. “I want to Indorse a check,” he an nounced. "Go ahead.”. Tbe attorney w atched ■him narrowly. “Sou’ffe been out on, the street?” . ' “res.” “How’s the election going?" “Tom Jordan’s winning.” ; “How do you know?” -The ques tion came sharply. R ogers looked up. “Well, I don’t know—of my own knowledge! I’m just, going on w hat people are saying. They seem to think Franniston’s beaten to a frazzle.” “The votes aren’t counted yet.- No chance for Jordan to win.” . “Then if you knew, why did ^ou ask me?” There w as an exasperating air about Leon Barrow s .which alw ays stirred a sleeping resentm ent "I’n only telling you w hat I picked up.” "All right, then. It’s wrong.” " “Very well. Anyway, It won’t'ta k e long to find out. T h e'p o lls will be closing in ten m inutes. They ought to know pretty shortly a fte r th at who tie mayor’ll be.” “Who’d you vote for?” iiJordan." ' “Oh. you did? W h y r The exasperation returned. “In the first place, because I w anted to- In the second place,, because I don’t like ‘Bull’ Franniston! Anyway; that isn’t w hat I ’ cam e here to talk “bout. This check, M r. . B arrow s, Is for yon.” ' “For w hat?” ^ ' ^ “For w hat?” B art. R ogers stared. “W hyvfor p art paym ent on th a t m ort gage.” ■ The narrow_ eyeB blinked quickly. I^eon Barrow s cam e forw ard In bis % chair. “You’re talking riddles. W hat m ort- W tP ' n . “On Ihe faim Didn’t Dad give yon a mortgage when he borrowed that money?” “He signed notes.” “So did I. ^ B ut I alw ays thought they w ere secured by a m ortgage.” “Did he e'ver say bo?” “Of course not. In the week or so a fte r I got hom e there was so much to talk about th a t we only went, into things generally, simply told me th a t he’d gotten some money from you to tide him over and th at if I needed any m ore I could''^ t it at the sam e place. Then that, second stroke hit him, and, as you know, he lost his vocal control. B ut I alw ays sup posed—” ' “You’ve . alw ays supposed wrong. There’s no m ortgage.” ‘T m glad of that. ■ But. there are tlie notes. I w ant to; take some of them up.” A thin smile pulled slightly at the corners of the attorney’s lips. “Maybe they’re paid already,” “But they’re not.” “Young man,” and the attorney’s' lean finger w ent nearer than' ever to the desk, “the best w ay to handle a debt is to w ait until you’re called upon to pay It. You. haven’t been dunned yet, have you?’ : “Of course not.” . . “Then forget It. The debt’s paid.” “Paid? W hy— ?” Frank amaze m ent w as in the young m an’s eyes.- “A t least,” there was' quick hedg ing In the attorney’s voice, "as fa r as “A Client?" He Asked. I know It’s paid. It isn’t my money. I’ve sim ply been the disbursing agent. I—” ~ “N ot your !money? Then who’s been putting up— ?” ' “A friend of your Sather1 s.” “B ut who?” “Ask him. An attorney doesn’t tell the business of his clients.’’ “B ut yoSi know I can’t get any an sw er from him. He can’t .speak1 and he can’t w rite. How— ?” . “Don’t try to cross-examine me. I won’t tell. An old friend of tlie fam ily helped the two of you out. Your fath er w as very grateful.

( P r e p a r e d b y t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s D e p a r t m e n t o f A g r i c u l t u r e . ) A compilation of figures on m eat production and consumption, by the U nited States D epartm ent of Agricul ture, contains the following inform a tion : D uring 1924 the estim ated num ber of food anim als slaughtered in the U nited States reached the highest peak in history, totaling 119,980,500 or about 1.1 anim als fy r every man, worn an and child of the population. Federally Inspected. About two-thirds of all food anim als slaughtered are federally inspected; the rem aining one-third, which do not enter interstate or foreign commerce, are not subject to federal inspection. More swine than any other kind of anim als were slaughtered last year, the total exceeding 80,000,000. The sm allest slaughter of food ani mals w as for goats, of which 92,300 were converted Into m eat; but goats showed a larger per, cent of Increase In slaughter over tbe previous year than the other classes of food ani mals. The United States stands first among the stock-raising countries of th e world, but A rgentina and A ustra lia, which are sparsely populated, have large surpluses of beef and mut ton and are the principal factors in supplying the European deficit in these classes of meat. The U nited States habitually ex ports from 12 to 15 per cent of Its to tal production of pork. The United States has approxim ate ly one-sixteenth of the world's popu lation, but has w ithin its borders about one-seventh of the food animals. Meat Consumed. The total quantity of meat con sumed in the United States, has in creased steadily each year for the last six years, but the ever-increasing pop ulation reduced the per capita con sumption about one pound in 1924 compared with the previous year. Per capita consumption was 164.9 pounds exclusive of 15.8 pounds of lard. Indications point to a somewhat shorter supply of m eat for the next year or two a t le a st P la n t B e r in u d a G r a ss to C h e e k B lig h t o n P e a r s For blight on pear trees the best thing to do is to cut out the blighted parts and destroy them. C ut from six to eight inches below the blighted part, otherwise you may spread tbe disease by having the knife or shears become infected. P ear trees alw ays blight w orse on rich soil, or when they are In a vigorous growing condition, there fore, in order to check the blight we m ust check the growth of the trees. This may be done by sowing grain around the lrees in the fall, allowing it to m ature on the land, and turning it under In the spring, if you have only a few trees you may easily check the growth by planting Berm uda grass around them and letting the trees re main In sod permanently. N o x io u s P la n ts A r e B a n e o f A lm o s t E v e r y F a r m e r Pasturing w ith sheep will kill lots of weeds, for sheep like the tender plants of w hite top. Red sorrel is a sign that soli needs lime and manure. A good growth of grass will crowd out sorrel. Mowing sorrel tw ice a year before seed forms, In connection w ith liming; m anuring and crop rotation, will soon get rid of it- v Prickly lettuce will soon disappear If no seeds are allowed to ripen, for It is an tfhnual p la n t A few plants In a fence corner may seed a large field— hence keep down all weeds In fepce corners. The sam e goes for other weeds, too. One of the best ways to keep your farm clear- of weeds Is to sow clean seed. P o is o n in g C u tw o r m s to S a v e th e G a r d e n T r u c k W atch for the lowly cutworm on cabbages and tomatoes, for great- may be the destruction it causes. Plants set out on newly plowed sod land are likely to be especially subject to attack by this pest, states H. Bi. Hodgklss, extension entomologist of the Pennsylvania State college. If the worms appear destroy them quickly by using sweetened poison b a it The form ula given by Hodgkiss Is as follows: 20 parts of bran, two quarts of cheap molasses, .one pound of parls green or w hite arsenic, and 3% gallons or w ater, or enough to m ake a "sloppy” m ixture. , A b u n d a n c e o f N o d u le s o n R o o ts I s E s s e n tia l. W ithont inoculation ^alfalfa, sweet clover and soybeans can be only par tially successful and are often nearly total failures. According ,to ' A. C. Arny of University farm at • St. Paul,, Minn., the following method Jia s been found satisfactory In securing inocula tion when the work has been -well done: Secure from a field that is growing or produced last season well inocu lated plants, as indicated by an abundance of nodules on their roots, as much soil by m easure as there is seeji to be sown. Sift this through a fine sieve when still moist and' spread in the shade to dry. • MoisteD the seed and then mix with it approximately- an equal am ount by m easure of the dry soil. By drying ihe soli it will take up the w ater on the moistened seeds and adhere to them. Fresh soil mixed with the seed and sown immediately gives good results. W hen commercial inoculants are ,used the-grow er Sliould=follow accom panying directions for applying to the seed. Inoculation is so necessary on sandy lands that Mr. Arny advises the use of both soil and a commercial Inoculant Fine black soil Is much su perior to sandy soil for Inoculating because It contains greater num bers of bacteria and adheres to the seeds better. . T h in n in g A p p le s a n d P e a r s W hen apples and pears set a good crop there will be far too many of them to develop as they should.. M any tim es there are enough to bend the lim bs over and break thAn. Thinning is not alone to give relief ft> the over loaded limbs, hut to m ake the quality better and the fru it larger, if you have ady doubts of w hat It will do, try it out. Apples w ill not only be larger and better formed, but they will be of finer flavor, and pears will be still mot-e. benefited. M any' pears have rather hard cores, b p tjf tl.e whole strength of the tree Is thrown into a crop th at can be made, to grow large and perfect yon will find there will be little of this hard cors even in such varieties as the KelS.sr. Secure Inoculation for Legume Crops G e t P ig s I n te r e s te d in ' T h e ir M o th e r ’s -R a tio n s Plgs at about three or four weeks of age begin,to take an active interest In ttielr m other’s rations. Successful swine raisers have found that this in terest should be encouraged; for the sow’s milk flow generally begins to decrease three weeks after farrowing and a t this age the pigs can success fully use small quantities of solid food. The decreasing supply of milk m ust be m et by the use of feeds to supply tlip needs of the growing pig whose re- qulrem ents are’ Increasing each day. Prof. W. C. Skelley, assistant ani mal husbandm an at the New Jersey A gricultural college, recommends a small pen having a small trough or a self-feeder th at will allow the young plgs« to eat at frequent Intervals by themselves. H e advises th at the pigs should not be fed carelessly. “If w et feed is used it should not stand In the trough but should be cleaned up at once. Dry feed should not be, fed In such quanti ties th at It will Temaln In the trough over 12 hours. T he trough should be/ cleaned daljy, or if a self-feeder is 1 used It should be adjusted so as not to^ allow It to feed t6o freely. These points are of especial Importance, as they help to elim inate one of the com mon causes of scours.” /e ttu c e I s P r o fita b le C ro p f o r M o s t F a r m e r s It is believed that the average cost of growing lettuce (in 1924) did not exceed $100 per acre. K eturns made to grow ers by shippers and associa tions varied considerably but w ere al m ost double the ( 1923 returns. It should be borne in . mind th at many grow ers cut only a small part, and In some cases none, of their acreage due to seed stalks and Wp' burn. However, reports from several concerhs show th a t a t least $2 per crate w as the average return to the grow er after de ducting all charges for crates. Ice, packing and selling. R eturns to indi vidual' grow ers w ere In many cases much higher. One concern' reported average returns to its eight best grow ers ranged from $200 to $46® per ,acre. On the. basis of $100 per acre growing cost this would give the grow er a good net profit.—John D. Snow, M arket News Service, U. S. B ureau of Agricul tural Economics. I n o c u la te S o y B e a n s To inoculate soy beans dissolve a pound of flake glue In tw o gallons of w ater and sprinkle the solution over the seed sufficiently to moisten It well. Then sprinkle from four to six pounds of Inoculated soil over-the seed, stirring It well to make sure th a t par ticles of soll adhere to each seed. Ex perim ents have shown that this Is as effective as other processes.

W e s t e r n N « / , B a o e r - - V R A I S I N G G E E S E I S Q U I T E P R O F I T A B L E D uring the p ast y ear I have been raising geese and I have found them to be profitable. T here is a good m ar ket fo r geese. : ' In the first place geese require, less g?ain than any other fowl. T h at is Im portant. • T he geese derive a' great- 'e r p a rt of th eir living from ,pasture and roam ing about, and they get ju st w hat they require in the w ay of feed. !In ' w inter ;it’s different. W e m ust feed them , but they do not ^ a t ilk* other fowls, and I have found they will fatten m ore quickly than other fowls, says a w riter In the Indiana F arm er’s Guide. T he im portant thing th at I do not w ant overlooked Is th e fact th ^ t the goslings are the easiest o f all fow ls to raise. T h at has been m y ex perience of m apy-^ears past, perhaps ten years or longer. Once they a re hatched out, w ith ordinary care, they will thrive and grow w ith rapidity to m aturity. T he thing th a t is hardest Is to get them hatched. Ih a v e found so m any eggs th a t w e r e Infertile, so I alw ays set- plenty of them . T he little .’goslings will seldom touch feed other th an bits of grass sntil after three o r four days. One thing Is essential, and th a t is having plenty of drinking w ater. They m ust have this, and require it, for th a t seem s to be th eir very nature. T he hen and goslings a re kept In their coop, w here it is w arm for the first week. Som etim es I keep them in ten ■ days w hen It is dam p and cold'. A fter that they are allow ed all the free range they w ant, except on rainy days. T he first feed I give the goslings is hard-boiled eggs m ixed w ith m ilk and cornm eal; T hat is' the best thing in the w ay of feed th a t I have ever tried. The mill: m iist be sw eet for best re sults. The .eggs m ay be crushed up, shell an<t all, and mixed w ith th e m ilk and cornmeal. The first m onth the goslings a re fed about four tim es a day.. I have alw ays done this, fg r w hile young and grow ing they require nourishm ent often, although sparingly fed each tim e. It Ia folly to overfeed and it is also In jurious. T he breeding birds are fed care fully during w inter. I give them clover, vegetables and sprouted oats, so they do not get to® , fa t. ■ Y o u n g T u r k e y s R e q u ir e S h e lte r in W e t W e a t h e r Young turkeys are susceptible to wet w eather. ■ Ohe precaution th a t • m ust alw ays he observed I n . handling- th e yettng poults Is to see th a t'th e y have a (fry place w here they are protected front the- rainstorm s, and th at they liave a dry place' to- roost. Turkey hens w ilt lay w hen a year old; if they are well m atured. It Is probably best to keep th e m ajority,of the- flock older hens, but It Is neces sary to keep some of the better young hens to gradually replace th e older liens. In this w ay the flock can be kept In the best of condition. In feeding and caring for young poults there are as m any different rations and methods advocated as there are fo r chicks. N o food should be given to tbe young poults for the first 36 to hours. D uring th e first week hard- boiled Infertile eggs chopped fine and mixed w ith equal p a rts of rolled oats •rad fed In lim ited quantities three tim es a day is a ’'satisfactory ration. Sour skimmed m ilk o r butterm ilk is. excellent fo r drinking purposes. A ft e r the third or fourth day clacked corn, hulled or steel-cut oats, cracke.d w heat o r .other siigilar grains m ay be scattered; In the light U tter or in the short- grass outsld^ o f the brood coop In order to . encourage th e poults to exercise In getting their food. . J u n e I s th © B e s t T im e t o C a p o n iz e C o c k e r e ls W hile capons are produced, only In small nutnber w here th eir quality Is1 known, they sell/fo r fancy’prices, ac cording ta D. H. H all, extension poul try specialist of Clemson college, who- suggests th at the m onth of June is the. best tlm i to caponize young cockerels.1 At this season th e m arket lS usually low fo r broilers and ii will pay to ca- ponlze cockerels and keep- them for' capons. In selling these capons th e local m arket m ust-he developed first: Some of o,ur tourist-- tow ns-are already pro viding good m arket for capons .and are Paying good'prices for them ./ Several men In South Carolina are capbnlzing for the farm<vra, and a re m arketing their proflucts for them a t a sm all cost. U The; operation on the cockerel Is hot difficult usually, but ! should be per formed w ith care. If th e cockerels are starved out from 36 to 48 hours be fore Ble operation, It will help greatly. U -the intestines .are full of food the operation is very difficult. , D ir ty F e e t R e ta r fl EJggs W hen yards and houses a re w et and-ooze w ith m oisture, m ost of the time, it means cold and dirty feet for the hens. A hen th at “gets cold feet" seldom lays the right quota of eggs, and dirty feet m ake dirty nests and dirty eggs.

It costs money to smoke cigars and igarettes, drink cnca-cola. cat candy, ride in automobiles and other wise live in the lap of luxury in South Carolina The recent srssi n of the legisla- ure in that State put alm ost a’ con fiscatory tax on . many things and he new law is about-to drive many of. the merchants, especially the drug stores to distriction Business is being diverted from the State and a number of stores have shut up shops and moved aw ay. It is said there is not a town or city in' the State but that a “ to rent” sign may be seen tacked up in dt zens of places where at one-time business was flour ing until the tax grabbers and politi cians all but wrecked the business of the State. A South Carolina paper says that somebody has figured it out that the man who sm akes a 15-cent package of cigarettes a day pays the State of South Carolina $7 30 a year in taxes. Twenty nine .dollars and thirty cent a > tar for the two. Ii the cigarette smoker also drinks a Coca-cola a day he pays an addi tional $3 65 a year in State taxes. Thirl v-two dollars and ninety-five cents, . Perhaps he owns, an automobile in which he must have gas. If he does much driving he will buy 20 gallons a week The. SLate tax on ihor for a year will amount to $62 00 . Ninety-four ninety-five.

W hat for? Sim ply a fool stunt to attract a'- tentioii; so far as appears at this distance. Of course the affair was a matter for the California!. But it will appear to anybody that a continuous Bible reading, with the sole purpose of fiuishing the read iug within a limited period, wouid be beneficial neither to readers nor hearens.

N ot only is the parent concerned over the health and development of the child, but the future should be well considered during the child hood of the city. The thought that the parent him self will be largely rceponsible for the success ot the failure ok the child, should ever be 111 .mind, for as a rule, the child is large a continuation of the life of the parent. W hether the hie will be a successful coulinua- tion in the child, largely depends upon the aciiou of the parents while the child is stiil young. To prove that that the parents largely governs the success of the child we find that it takes 48,000 families of the unskilled laborers to produce one person of sufficient euiiueuce to be admitted into W ho's W ho,” a book giving the names of men and women who have accom plished som ething big iu life. Look ing fuither we see that 685 farm families produce one such person, 1 6 1 pysicians, 52 lawyers and the ministers leads with oue out tf every tw enty families. From these statistics ive come to the conclu sion that success is dependent large - Iy upon the exam ple set by the parent for the growing child. The ministers take time to develop the child. The ministers take tim e to develop the child. The ministers t ike time to develop the child, and being a man of clean habits and clear thinking, he makes footprints that leads to a broad iile.

FIGURES IN INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR'S OFFICE SHOW REDUCTION. Raleigh. Wiith most of the .June payments In Korth Carolina's Federal income tax collections for the fiscal year ending July I, 1925. are running about two million dollars behind the income tax collections for the entire figures in the office of Gilliam Grissom, Collector of Internal Revenue for the North Caro lina District. Collections for all kinds of Federal taxes, however, are ailready about two million dollars ahead of the entire last fiscal year. ; Total collections of income taxes 'during the fiscal year ending July I, fl925, in N orth Carolina totalled about !eighteen, m illion dollars. To date in !the fiscal year 1925 which ends July I, approxim ately sixteen m illion dollars have been collected. : T his falling aw ay in income taxes w as expected on account of the cut in th e income tax rate this year, and Col lector Grissom is pleased w ith the showing m ade, as he expected th a t the slum p would be greater. M r. Grissom expects to collect little m ore income taxes during the balance ■of the fiscal year but is counting on ,the heavy receipts from tobacco taxes jto pull the total taxes of all kinds col lected in N orth Carolina this fiscal ■year five or six m illion dollars ahead Iof the am ount collected last year. • The full effect of the cut In income [taxes probably w ill not be felt for an other year as m any of the deferred ,paym ents on the taxes which fell due in M arch, 1924, are included In the to tal of the fiscal year ending July I, 1925 and on account of the cut in the |tax rate a great m any m ore people paid th eir taxes in full this year, thus ,elim inating the deferred paym ents and fu rth er swelling the total of the pres en t fiscal year.

The collection m ade in D avie county by County A gent Evans, m akes the sixth county of this state in which “take-all" is now know n to occur. “This disease is very destructive,", continued Dr. W olf. “It has certain features which will enable any w heat grow er to recognize it w ith consider able accuracy. The grow er w ill find the affected plants in well-defined spots to be dw arfed or shrunken. These plants m ay be only six to ten inches in height, w hile norm al plants are about four feet in height. M any of the affected plants will die prem aturely or rem ain green until harvest tim e.

The tax upon bus lines levied by th e 1925 G eneral Assem bly and which a t th a t tim e w as estim ated to yield all the way from $250,000 to $500,000 is now expected to yield less than $150,000, or half of the sum of $300,000 w hich w as finally agreed upon and used in estim ates of the total yield from the npw revenue law.

H owever, reports have been con s ta n tly received by the D epartm ent of :R evenue, which collects the tax, and it is estim ated th at the receipts for the first quarter w ill fall below $3,006, although it is believed the average for th e four quarters w ill be som ew hat .above th a t figure. The falling off in expected returns .from the bus lines are attributable to several causes. In the first place, a num ber of carriers th a t it had been thought would be classified as buses ■have been put down by the Corpora tio n Commission as “jitneys” and pay Ionly $10 a year on each car. Then, the bus lines proper are not !m aking the m oney th at w as expected I of them .

Existence Long Doubted. “The land w as not sighted again un til 1852. Tiie first w hite m an to set ] foot on it w as D octor Hayes, a mem ber of Kane’s expedition in 1854. A fter H ayes explored an isolated section of the shore, the land gradually emerged from the traditional into the re a l; but as In other of the northern discoveries different explorers discovered various headlands and peninsulas idependent- Iy and dubbed each a ‘land.’ Hayes’ portion, the east const of the north central section of the big island, be cam e ‘Grinnell Land.’ The north end, along the Polar sea, becam e 'G rant Land.' O ther niimes which have stuck to localities of Ellesm ere Isiand are ‘N orth Lincoln,’—paradoxically the southernm ost portion—‘K ing O scar Land,’ ‘B ear Cape Land.’ and ‘Jesup Land.’ “Ellesm ere island lacks only about fifty m iles of being the northernm ost known land In the world, that distinc tion being held by the north, point of Greenland, Cape M orris .Tesup, not far to the east. Ellesm ere island’s north ernm ost point. Cape Columbia, is fa m ous as the starting point of Peary oh his memorable dash to the N orth pole in 1909.

CHAPTER II —2— A N ew M arsh al Pact's interview with LeOD B arrow s h-l been but little different from oth- ... In the past. T hat B arrow s had refused to tell the identity of the per- .-I- who had furnished the money to cijsuiin Franklin Rogers during the -l-jvs when his son had been held in Iiiicpital after hospital did not surprise G-.rt in the least. T he true amaze- -IlfJiit was the fact th a t he and his fnl her had possessed a friend who de sired to remain in the dark, for friends, with them, had been very few. S e v e n years before they had come West to play with fate in the tilling of a quarter-section of dry, sandy soil. T h e v had fought for their w ater rights and obtained them, a t last. Then they had worked as only a fath er and son can work when there is perfect com munion. 4. dry w inter in the m ountains, w ith a consequent dwindling irrigation sup ply had taken their savings in one summer. Then a crop, bountiful and marketed at high prices, had lifted ibem to the pinnacle, only to be fol lowed by war. More than two years after the end ing of the w ar B art had -been allowed to come home and start on the win ning road, in spite of an invalid fa ther and the pressure of debt—only to find a mystery at the bottom of it all. M ho had been the m an who had taken notes only as a form ality, who had entered into a pact with his father? Bart gave it up and joined a little group in front of the polling place who surrounded Tom Jordan, the apparent l y successful candidate. B art looked around for the other aspirant; broad- shouldered, blustering “Bull” Franni- ston, but failed to see him. Instead— He moved forw ard quietly as a girl came around the corner, a rather clnldish-appearing and w istful-featured girl, who hesitated, then turned tow ard the bent, angular figure of an old m an who followed her, and who hastened to her side with a sort of dog-Ilke devo tion in obedience to her silent com mand. •Coming for the results. M iss Fran- niston?” he questioned. -Yes.” She smiled quickly. "W ho won?” -They haven’t finished counting the ballots In here yet. The other four precincts gave a m ajority of about 100 to Tom Jordan.” "Did they honestly?” B art Rogers believed he caught a tone of hope in her voice. Then—then Father’s beaten?” It looks that way.” Tm so sorry.” B art Rogers looked at her quickly, wondering if w hat she said were the truth. -If you’re sorry. I’m sorry, too. M iss Franniston.” H e moved closer to her. But to tell the truth, I voted the other way.” I - I understand.” Sbe hesitatedand turned away as though to hide the ex pression which a b itter memory had urought to her features. Then, the dog-like Old Jim once more following her, she w ent on. B ut B art Ilogers watched after her. To him she represented more than a pretty, lik able girl; she w as all and nothing—an unattainable ideal. To him shefrepresented the gap, the near-hatred which stood betw een him and “Bull” Franniston, her father, a gup which dated back to the night be fore Bart had left for France. H e had been walking along the road tow ard town, when suddenly he had stopped at the sound of a girlish scream , fol lowed by the hoarse, anger-burdened toicc of a man. H e had turned, and running back the road, had leaped to- ■I urd a man and a girl—the girl cring ing and frightened, the m an bellowing oier her, fist clenched for another bi.iw. Then B art Rogers had fought fought with all the strength In him. fought against superior odd s. And he had won, while In-the background the frightened girl had' crouched in the arms of a whimperjng, prem aturely aSed m an; only.to Ieam when once victory bad been his, - th at he had fought a father to prevent him from beating his own daughter. More than once had B art Rogers wondered if “Bull” Franniston- still strove to beat his daughter, and if Old Jini shrunk, w himpering and helpless, In the background. M ore than once, too, had he dreamed of the tim e when the load of debt which now w as his could be lifted that, he m ight think of ether things than work—of a girl, per haps, a girl for whom he m ight shrive, that the frightened, w istful glance ™?ht depart'from h e r’eyes forever, *“<i glowing happiness beam there In- ftead. But the dream had not come So now, as in the past, he w as a w atcher, looking after them as they m ade their way down the street. The crowd a t the curbing moved for w ard, the w orkers surging about the red-faced, som ew hat docile appearing Tom Jordan as he w ept forw ard to re ceive the verdict. The election judge grinned and put forth a hand. “So, Fm mayor, eh?” Genial, easy going old Tom Jordan, ex-cattlem an, m erely stood and grinned. “G osh!” Then the porkers surged about him, w hile a t the very edge. B art Rogers stood sm iling and satisfied. H e had w anted Tom Jordan to win. N ot th at Jordan would m ake a won derful. mayor, but Rogers knew one thing—th a t Tom Jordan would try to do the right thing w hether he accom plished the feat or not. . - At last the - group about the newly elected mayor parted, and B art Rogers, true to sm all w estern town form, went forw ard to proffer his congratulations. The big cattlem an boomed w ith hap piness, ju st as he had done with the others who had shaken his hand. Then suddenly he sobered. “B art,” he said quietly as he drew him aside. “I’ve had my eye on you for a long time. Now, I w ant to ask you a personal question: Are you as friendly' w ith Bull Franniston as you are w ith his daughter?” “I didn’t vote for him. I’m not a Franniston man. Mr. Jordan.” “Good enough,-B art! I had a hunch you w eren’t, but I just w anted to be sure. You see, B art, I’m easy goin’. I'm the sort of fellow, who lets his friends play w ith : him and do him up brown, rather’n say ’no’ to 'em. So I’m lookin’ for a young fellow with a good, strong chin, that I can say to : ’Here, there’s only one job in this tow n that has to do w ith the keeping of the peace, and jh at’s the m arshal. I’m go ing to give’you that job. I w ant him the kind of-, a fellow that’ll pinch my best friend If he’s done wrong and tell m e to go. to h—I if I come along and try to get him out. U nderstand?” “Exactly.” “AU right, B art Rogers,” and a big, friendly hand -found a place on the younger m an's shoulders. “I’ve been looking over-the herd considerable, and I’ve ju st about come to the conclusion that you’re the critter I w ant. W hat say?” “B ut I don’t know anything about the job.” “Didn’t know anything about w ar until you w ent into it, did you?” “N o; th a t’s true.” “AU rig h t; the sam e thjng goes here, W hat say?” “Can I have a little tim e to think it over?” “Sure—a week If you w ant it.” “I guess I ought to know by that tim e.” Then B art thanked Jordan and started to run home. A half-m ile and he dropped into a w alk again, to ease the pull on bis lungs—for the m ark of a bullet still rem ained there, unnoticed m ost of the time, but ready to protest at the first heavy strain. Five hundred yards, he gained his breath again, and once more Increased his speed, only to turn suddenly from’ the road, to stop and to w atch w ith som ething’ of am used in terest as a car lurched over a hill, bore down upon him, then, in a swirl of dust, passed him on the way to town. ■ “ ‘Bull Franniston,” mused Rogers as he eyed the dust-hazed form of the m an a t the-.wheel. “Sure is hurry ing. Guess he m ust be beating . it into town to find out how bad he got whipped in the election.” Soon, however, three more machines roared past, and he once more re sum ed his journey, wondering slightly the cause of four racing machines, each loaded to its limit. B ut only for a m om ent; then the throbbing of other engines from the rear caused him again to stand aside. In straight succession three blus tered by, nor did the occupants seem to heed his w aving signals as he strove to flag them . At last; however, in obedience to his frantic appeals, an overloaded vehicle came to a skid ding stop, and Rogers laughing, ran tow ard IL “Ju st bad to flag you,” he apolo gized. “So m any blamed machines passing, I can’t keep to the road.” “W ell hurry up— ” iThe driver w as playing w ith the hand throttle. “This thing’s to big too miss.” “Thing?” Rogers stared. “W hat thing? W hat’s happened— ?” “W hat’s happened?” The m an at' the wheel stared blankly at him, as Rogers 'caught the windshield and clung precariously to a footing on the running board as the m achine ptarted again. “Don’t you konw? Oil I 'T h at’s w hat’s happened!” “Oil? You mean over there w here they’ve been drilling?” “W here else do you suppose?” don’t know.” A sudden ex citem ent bad sw ept cool thoughts from the brain of B art Rogers. “Do you really mean it? They’ve struck oil over there—you m ean the derrick over by my place?* “You’re Rogers, aren’t you?” the driver looked a t him with, a new/Tq- terest. “How much land have you got?” “A hundred and sixty?” . “W hat do you w ant for It?” «X I ■ don’t know. Tell me about the oil.' T here isn’t any joke about this, is there?”“Joke?" Of course n o t Bull F ran niston brought the word. The .well cam e In about an hour agcn-it s a gush er. From ’-w hat-he said, if U run 10,- 000 barrels a day.” . . B art Rogers could only neT eaJ. the shouted announcem ent of the driver. Ten thousand barrels a day—and the well was- less than a half mile from his division fence! T hat meant— W hat did it mean? W hat couldn’t it mean? Oil pools are not selective things; they extend for miles, and this B art Rogers knew. As the chugging motor car whizzed aw ay the last mile, the shouting driver told him of the possible w ealth which lay for him In the future. Then the cap turned the last bend in the road— And there before him B art1 Rogers saw a dream come true. The sun was just setting, and silhouetted against-it w as the oil derrick, a black, skeleton like thing, spraying tow ard the sky a spouting stream of ebony which, dis integrating and 'drifting with the wind, caught the sheen of the dying sun and burst into m yriad rainbows. A float ing m ass of colors—such w as that spray which flew high from the gush ing well—colors which seemed to wipe out for B art Rogers his colorless past, and commingle into a painting of happiness for the future. N earer and nearer they came,, to the derrick and the thronging persons about it; then B art, unable to hold him self longer, leaped from the running board of the car as the machine wallowed In a mud- hole and raced tow ard the derrick. “W ill it last?” .I t seemed to be the only question he could think of as he forced his way tow ard the drillers. “W ill it—” “Last?” They looked a t him with scornful eyes. “Of course it’ll last. It’s ju st the beginning! This coun try’s going to be a madhouse of money inside of three months. That’s oil, and it’s high grade!” B art Rogers turned away, pale with the realization of w hat had happened, trem bling with the excitem ent of It, throbbing with the knowledge that his troubles and the troubles of the man who aw aited him in the little cabin over the hill w ere over. “R ich!” he gasped, and there w as an instinctive reverence in the tone. “R ich! R lcli!’’ H e swerved aw ay now, running, plunging through the Irrigation ditch In w ater to his arm pits, then, drip ping, scram bled onward, neither realiz ing his w etness nor caring. A half- mile aw ay lay a little cabin, ju st vis ible when he reached the top of the hill, a cabin w here the rays of the setting sun had blazed the windows to ruddy gold, as though in prophecy, and where aw aited the m an to whom B art Rogers longed m ost of all to give the news of happiness and of wealth. “I’ve got to be careful w ith him,” he said to himself. “Got to break It easy—m ustn’t get him too excited. B et ter not tell him the whole truth—bet ter let it grow day by day—yes, that’s it—better just tell him th at they've brought in oil enough so th at we won’t have to worry—” Then, through sheer will power, he restrained him self to a walk so that his own excitem ent ,m ight not betray the true im portance of his message. T hen his eyes beam ing w hat his lips could not say, he forced him self to a leisurely pace and approached the house. “Hello, D ad I” It w as the usual eve ning greeting. Placing his hand upon the shoulder of the slumped figure, he w aited, as he alw ays had w aited, In the vain hope th at this m ight be the night w here there would come an an swer, when some faint vocal sound would tell of a return of speech—and a chance for recovery. B ut there w as only silence. As usual, B art pat ted the shoulder, lovingly, meaningly, and turning, groped through the gath ering darkness for the lamp. “Got a little new s today, Dad,” he chatted, as he shook the old oil burner and scraped the wick w ith the burning match. “They brought in some oil over at the ■ derrick. Don’t think it am ounts to so much, but w hatever it Is, it boosts the price of our land. Anything th a t looks like oil, you know, means money. Of course, it may am ount to a ’ lot, and then it m ay am ount to nothing, so I guess we shouldn’f get. excited about it.” H e wiped the chimney- and adjusted it, set the lam p upon a table. Then he went to the chair which alw ays aw aited him ; the one beside the big, comfort able one where rested the Invalid. “Yep, Dad, w hatever it is, we’re bound to come out ahead. Oh,’\pnd he allowed a bit of his enthusiasm to rOU forth in a laugh. “We’re going to get there yet/ you and I. Ju st w ait and see. I—” H e stopped. H is out stretched hand had touched the placid one of his father. It w as c o ld - ghastly cold. Suddenly trembling, he rose, and faced the form in the chair. “D ad!” he called. “D ad!” B ut the faint reflected rays of the lamp showed no answ ering light in the set stare of the eyes. The mouth w as dropped and draw n. The features were fixed. Again B art Rogers called in a voice th at bore a note of agony. Feverlshly he grasped the icy hands and rubbed them—hoping against hope. H eburled his head against the chest where a s a tousle-headed boy he often had rest ed, praying—hoping— B ut B art Rogers’ father w as dead.

WHAT TO DO WITH BREAD There is probably no greater waste In the kitchen than that of bread. A piece of bread that has become dry is usually con sidered useless by a vast m ajority oi cooks. There are a countless leftover bits that cannot be used for toast, that are thrown into the garbage pail. These small scraps could be made into palat able and wholesome creations, to say nothing of the saving. AU crumbs left from the bread board, all trim m ings of sandwiches, all broken pieces- not available for t ast should be gathered. A dish which is both appetizing and filling may be .made of these crumbs and bits while they are still moist. Try the follow ing: Egged Bread.—Remove the crusts from broken bits of bread. B reak It into small pieces—there should be two and one-lialf cupfuls. M elt four table spoonfuls of . butter or two of butter and two of ham fat ; add the bits of bread and toss them lightly until well coated w ith fat. Pour over the bread three eggs slightly beaten and diluted with one-half cupful of rich milk. Con tinue to toss the m ixture lightly with a fork so that each bit of bread is enclosed In a coating of egg. Season with salt and pepper and serve. Tom ato T o ast—Dip slices of stale bread into w ater and p la 'e {ft a hot oven to ’ become heated through, or steam In a 'ste a m e r until m oist and hot. B utter generously and cover with well-seasoned tom ato and serve hot. Rhubarb Pudding.—B utter slices of bread and lay in a deep pudding dish, cover with finely cut rhubarb, mixed well with sugar; repeat until sufficient bread is used to serve the fam ily; add a few spoonfuls of w ater and bake un til the rhubarb is soft. Serve hot or cold. Bread Fritters.—Cut stale breaei into thin slices, shape with a small biscuit cutter, spread w ith butter and raspberry jam , press a pair together and dip into fritter batter, fry In deep fat and serve hot with maple sirup. There are bread puddings, milk toast, and any num ber of dishes In which a few buttered crumbs add to both the appearance and nourishm ent. Everyday Good Things.

I N T U R K E Y F L O C K Every year blackhead In turkey flocks becomes a little more common, and every year the losses ■ from the dread disease are a little larger.- And while no positive treatm ent has ever been discovered, a remedy is being used by hundreds of successful turkey growers that proves very satisfactory if used before the fowls are In the la st stages of the disease, says a w riter In Successful Farming. A slight lam eness is usually discern ible In a turkey coming down with blackhead. The bird gradually grows weaker, refuses to eat, but drinks an unusual amount. D iarrhea Is usually present, and when the disease Is in an advanced stage, the droppings are usually a bright yellow. The wings and tail are not held up. The head is drawn close to the body. Sometimes the flesh parts of the head turn a bluish-black. If you are not sure w hether It is blackhead or some other ailm ent that is affecting the bird, It will be wise to m ake a post mortem exam ination. If the liver Is covered with black or gangrene spots it will not be necessary to look further for the trouble. You may be sure blackhead is the trouble, and begin treatm ent accordingly. Powdered ipecac may be used either as a remedy for blackhead or as a preventive. W e prefer to use it as a preventive, as any disease Is better prevented than cured. W hen black head enters our flock It usually causes the greatest losses before the poults are six’ weeks of age. For this rea son we begin feeding the ipecac to the poults as soon as we begin- feeding mash. It is fed in a w et m ash—one teaspoonful of powdered ipecac to ' enough mash for 20 turkeys—tw ice a week. The sam e amount is given to the young birds and the m ature fowls. This treatm ent will prevent black head entering your flock, though the y oungsters are allowed to range with the older birds, and on infected ground. If blackhead has entered your flock Iiefore treatm ent is begun, the sick birds should be fed half a teaspoonful of powdered Ipecac in wet mash (for each bird) for three successive days. If the disease is not in the advanced stage it will not be difficult to remedy, but if the fowls are nearly dead when the treatm ent Is begun, you cannot ex pect a large percentage of cures. H eretofore, the OnlIy cure for black head lias been, to move to new, unin fected land, and this is usually only- effective for the first season.

MANY BAPTISMS REPORTED The Sunday School Board reported a gain of 980 Sunday Schools for the year, with IBB1JSS new pupils, bring ing the present num ber - of Southern Baptist Sunday schools to 21,570, w ith an enrollment of 2,563,963. 'O ther items In the hoard’s statistical report show that there are now 27,517 Bap tist chutches affiliated w ith the Con vention Vhioh last year reported 209,- 671 baptisms and which now have 3,7(8,862 m embers. D aring the past 26 years Southern Baptists have Increased the num ber the suprem e standard by which all Iiuman conduct, creeds and religious opinions should be tried.’1 THE FALL OF MAN "M an was created by the special act of God as recorded in Genesis. •So Ood created m an in his own im age, In the im age of God created he him ; m ale and fem ale created he them .’ (Gen. 1:27). ‘And the Lord God formed m an out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils- the breath of life; and m an becam e a. living soul,’ (Gen. 2:7). H e w as cre ated to a etate of holinfess under the la w /o f his m aker but through the tem ptation of Satan he transgressed the command of God and fell from his original holiness and righteous ness; w hereby his posterity inherit a nature corrupt and in bondage to sin, are under condem nation, and as 3 0 0n as they are capable of moral action, becom e actual transgressors.” THE WAY OF SALVATION "Salvation of sinners is wholly of grace, through the m ediatorial office of the Son of God, who by the Holy Spirit w as born of the Virgin M ary and took upon him our nature, yet without sin; honored the divine law v»y tajg personal obedience, and madeB aptuts have increasea tne nuinuei »•- ■— . , .. of Uieir schools, colleges and theolog- atonem ent for. our sm s by We death^ _ . - . • D a l M t r xtsaA ffnm t n A I l A f l n Dfi IB QOWleal sem inaries from 65 to 117 and the ^ Pains U Very Severe “I suffered, from womanly troubles which grew worse and worse as the m onths ■ w ent by,” says Mrs. L.

In these institutions there are 38,000 B aptist students. The Home Mission Board employed 1,077 w orkers during the year who reported 30,027 baptism s and 50,354 additions to the churches, the erec tion or repair of 355 church houses and the organization of 608 Sunday schools.

A total' of 12,134 bap tism s were reported by these work-,, ers for the year, bringing the present m em bership of the foreign churches toill7,961. * ENDORSES CO-OPERATIVE > PROGRAM The Convention heartily endorsed the" co-operative plan for the support of all its missionary, educational and benevolent work and named a Com m ission on the Co-operative Program which will seek to enlist all the Bap tis t churches of the South in the reg ular, system atic support of _hom e, state and foreign missions, m iniste rial ’ relief and -B aptist Bchoolsi hos pitals and orphanages. Churches not already supporting all Jjiese enter prises through w eekly contributions are invited to assum e such support at once. The Convention endorsed the plan of the Commission discour aging independent .appeals to churches and individuals on the part ot special denom inational interests, urging all of them to look to the Co-operative Program for their support and asking all the churches to support the Pro- grapa. STAND BY THE OLD BIBLE T hat the world m ay know w here Southern B aptists stand upon the g re a t fundam ental C hristian doc trines, m any of which are being as sailed today, the convention adopted a statem ent of the B aptist faith and m essages in which attacks upon the inspiration and authority of the Bible and the divinity of C hrist w ere vig orously refuted. H ere are som e, of the leading declarations in- the' *statement as - it was adopted: THE SCRIPTURES “W e 'believe th at the Holy Bible was w ritten b y ' m en divinely in spired and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction; th at it has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, w ithout any m ixture of irror, for its -m atter; th at it reveals the principles by w hich G oi will JudM v*, and therefore is, and w ill rem ain to the end of the world, the {rue eentyr of Ohriatian union, and Being risen from the dead he is now enthroned in heaven and uniting is his person the tenderest- sym pathies w ith divine perfections, he is in every way qualifiej to be a com passionate and all-sufficient Savior." CO-OPERATION Christ’s people should, as occasion requires, organize such associations and conventions as m ay best-secure co-operation for the great objects of the Kingdom of God. Such organiza- ions have no authority over each other or over the churches. They are voluntary and advisory bodies design ed to elicit, com bine and direct the j enegries of our people In the m ost ef- ; fective m anner. Individual m em bers \ ot New Testam ent churches should co-operate With each, other, and the churches them selves should co-oper- ate w ith each other in carrying for ward the missionary, educational and benevolent program for the extension of C hrist’s Kingdom. C hristian unity in the New T estam ent sense is spirit ual harm ony and voluntary co-opera tion for common ends by various groups of C hrist’s people. It is per missible and desirable as betw een the various C hristian denom inations, when the ,end to be attained is itself justi fied! and w hen such co-operation in volves no violation of conscience. or compromise of loyalty to C hrist and H is W ord as revealed in the New T estam ent.” STEWARDSHIP “God is the source of all blessings, tem poral and spiritual; all th at we have and are we owe to Him. W e have a spiritual rtebtorship to the whole world, a holy trusteeship in the Gospel, and a binding stew ardship in our possessions. W e are therefore under obligation to serve Him w ith our time, talents and m aterial posses sions; and should recognize all- these as preaching the Gospel of Christ, and of God and helping others. Chris tians Bhould cheerfully, regularly, sys tem atically, proportionately and lib erally contribute Df their m eans to advancing the Redeem er’s cause' on earth.” EVOLUTION IS DENOUNCED To the statem ent of faith proper the Convention added a declaration upon the relation of science and re- l glon in which the theory ot evolution w as denounced. R eferring to evolu tion the statem ent says: lIts best exponents adm it th a t the causes of the origin of species have not been traced, nor has any proof been forthcom ing th a t' m an is not the direct creation of Kod as recorded in Genesis. W e protest against im position of this theory of evolution upon the m inds , of our children in denom inational or public schools as if it w ere a definite and established truth of science. W e in sist th a t this and all other theories be dealt w ith in a truly scientific way, th at is, in careful- conform ity to established facts. ■ . "W e record again our unw avering adherence to the supernatural ele m ents in the C hristian religion. The Bible is God’s revelation of him self through m en moved by the Holy Spirit, and is our sufficient, certain and authoritative guide in religion. Jesus C hrist was born of the Virgin M ary, through the power of the Holy S p irit H e was the divine and eternal Son of God. H e w rought m iracles, healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the .dead. H e died as tho vicarious, atoning Savior of the w orld and was buried. H e arose again from the dead. The tomb was emp tied of its contents. In his risen body he appeared many tim es to his disciples. He ascended to the right hand ot the Father. H e w ill come again in person, the sam e Jesus who ascended Irom the M ount of O11Ves. "W e believe that adherence to the above truths and facts is a necessary condition of' service lo r teactisrs in o u t B aptist schools. W I am perfectly well. I do not suffer any pain and can do all my housework.” At All Druggists’ Sheriff’s Sale of Lanii For Taxes.
