About tlie coldest this section has experienced since the winter of -1917-18. The rivers and creeks-were frozen,solid eight years ago and also last week but so far as we can Ieam no we31s in this section froze over in 1918! W. F. Stonestreet who is reputed to be a truthful citizen, deposes and says that on Tuesday morning Dec. 29th he visited the Redland section of Davie county and called at the store of J. A. Sotiey1 a well-known merchant 'of tnat village. Mr. Stonestreet also avers thalt upon his arrival at said Sofley’s store he was informed by reliable authority that the well that furnishes , water for the store and home of Mr. Spflej;, was frozen over. Mr. Stonestreet seemed to have his doubts as to whether or not this was a fact. To make sure that such a miraculous tiling had actually happened Mr Stouestreet tied a rail to a rope and let it down into the well,' breaking the ice which had indeed frozen solid in the well. Now if you can beat this for cold weather in Dixie we would like to hear from you. Big CoUod . Crop In Davie. Davie county produced the Iar gest crop of cotton in 1935 that has ever hem grown in the countv. Of course all the cotton has not been ginned to da e, but the gin- ners report up to Dec. 31st, show ed that the crop was much larger than was expected. Tlie amouut of cotton gimied to the 21st in Davie countv was 4.321 baies. To tiie same dale in 1924 onlv 3.576 b lies had been ginned. Our farm er* had an extra large crop of cot ton the past year, and had it not oeeh for the drought the ciop would have gone around 6 000 bnl e-.. The tobac.o cod in the coun ty was shori last vear, maiiy farm ers cutting out tobacco and putting their land in cotton The price lias ranged from 7 to 9.60 per hundred for seed cotton. .

For the past six months or more the citizens of Mocksville who de pend on city water, have had a pic nic/ Sometimes we have water and sometimes we have none. The town is depending on one deep water well to supply the water for the town. A new w ellw asstarted early last spring and up to this good hour no water has been locat ed. The well is more than 900 feet deep and we have no idea what it has cost the towii to date. The Record has contended all along that the-town should have gone to obe of the nearby creeks for water. So far as we know not a town in this section has used wells that would furnish an adequate supply of water. Morganton1 Mooresville. Lexington and other towns tried the wells but had to finally go to creeks or rivers to get their water. In case of lire our town is at the mercy of the flames. For sever il days at a time it has been impos sible to get enough wa<er for do mestic purposes. We believe that t ie city fathers should consider this water situation seriously and1 the board ot swwarts are going to take some steps to supply the town ^ churches to raise one fourth with at least enough water for the of the annual church budget during citizens to drink.

' 1 1******** PIY HOMEiSE TO WILSON MANY DINNERS HELD IN OB SERVANCE OF WILSON’S BIRTHDAY. New Yprk,—Five hundred cities of the United States paid homage to the memory of Woodrow Wilson on the 69th anniversary of his birth. At the Woodrow Wilson foundations dinner at the Hotel Astoria, the late war President was eulogized for his statesmanship, his principles and ideals. Dr. Harry A. Garfield, presi dent of Williams college, said Mr; Wil son’s clear vision and indomitable pur pose gave to the world living princi ples for .the settlement of disputes among the nations, which at the close of the first quarter of the new century are bearing fruit abundantly. Dr. Garfield listed as “the. fruits of his efforts” the conference for inter national control of trade in arms, the commissions and conferences on wel fare of women and children and on public health, the treaties negotiated at Locarno, and what’he termed the fa vorite attitude of the United States to ward world court adherence* and the proposed conference on the limitation of armaments. Woodrow Wilson laid the founda tion, said Norman H. Davis, president of the Woodrow Wilson roundation, for a “ new and better Order in world affairs.” His influence' in “recon structing a shattered world and es tablishing peace” has been exempli fied by such achievements as the res toration of Austria and Hungary, set tlement of the German reparations under the Dawes plan and the preven tion of war between Greece and Bul garia. i ! Mr. Davis said these. accomplish ments, I together with the . Locarno treaties had been made possible for the league of nations as founded by Woodrow Wilson. i r HUNDREDS OF INVESTORS ARE INFORMED Oir FAILURE OF RUM-RUNNER London.—The even hundred inves tors who took a filer In liquor running, many of them women, got little com fort out of a statement which btr Broderick Hartwell, England’s titled rum runner, made at a meeting oi his creditors. Sir Broderick appeared in the bank ruptcy court. He declared his liabili ties as 250,000 pound sterling $(1,200,- 0 0 0 .) and saiff^ that his only assets were amounts due from-dealers who got the liquor in the United States and who apparently never would pay him. His final shipment to the United States, he asserted, alone was worth 250,000 pound sterling, but in this case his partner and the dealers to whom the liquor was turned oyer never paid him a cent The baronet explained that he met an American in 1923, who asked him to ship him liquor to the United States. Eventually several ship-, ments were made, and In September, 1924, the seventh and last shipment containing 66,000 caseB of proprietary brands 'of whiskey was dispatched. Pessimistic reportB about the weather and activities of prohibition officers reached him; then came the report from the captain that ship’s crew was in mutiny and he had put into Halifax. Later he_-was advised that the liquor' had been transferred to smaller ships and that 36,000 cases had been seized by prohibition officers. 7 ..- , The cerditors gloomily passed a resolution for bankruptcy, and ad journed for the appointment of a trustee. 1 Big Fire at- Greenville. i Greenville, N.

Such methods of meeting housing difficult ties.. 'Japan's turning to the apartment bouse does not-present a strange pic ture, after all,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society, commenting on this latest building project in Nippon. Apartment Houses Not New “The apartment house is. by no means a new housing device, except In our. particular development lot It,, along lines of comfort, convenience and luxury, In all ages and In many parts of the world, congestion in cities has been a major factor in driving dif ferent families to share a common roof. China may be taken as the shin ing exception whlch proves this rule, for although tbe units of-her teeming pop ulation have been treading on one an other’s toes for many centuries, few of them have forsaken the individual dwelling. "Babylon has been suggested as the home of the first apartment house or tenement;-yet that /first' world me tropolis may have repeated merely the reaction to population pressure shown by other cities: lost beyond the ho rizon of history. Ancient Rome had two, and three-story tenements of brick and stucco, but they disappeared long ago; and some of their sites, no doubt, support- today modern commu nity dwellings. In tbe ghettos and other sections of medieval European cities, families found It necessary to occupy dwellings Jointly Jnst as they do today In London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and . dozens of other cities of the Old .world. “It Is' In the United States, how- .ever, that apartment houses seem to have found their ultimate development In ',quantity, quality, volume and height Not only do they line -the Fifth avenues and the Michigan boule vards of the population centers, but they are springing up as well along the Main streets of countless small towns, ..where congestion has not jet been felt. Tbe American desire to get a thing done efficiently and quickly is another cause for the marked trend toward apartment house life. "Apartment houses early came into dwellings probably constituted the world’s earliest ‘apartment houses.’ Community Homes in Southwest. “In America these safety apartments had a somewhat different development at-a much later date. The cliff dwell ings of the Southwest were occupied not by savages, but by a people of considerable culture. Nor were their dwellings mere caves. Structures of excellent masonry were built on the ledges of cliffs under overhanging cor nices. "The pueblos, still occupied today, belong to a second type of American ’•apartment house.’ These are usual ly constructed on a flat-topped hill -or mesa and consist of a-more or less jumbled pile of-rooms built of adobe or mud brick: To still another. type, most closely resembling the apartment house of today, belonged the great ma sonry structures such as Rueblo Bo- nito In Chaco canyon, New Mexico, which In its- heyday, centuries ag®,'- housed 1,200 people. The exploration and partial restoration of this great dwelling by the Jfational Geographic society has disclosed numerous private apartments and public rooms of excel lent construction. . "Tokyo’s new American-type apart ment with 'its thick", concrete walls, sound-proof partitions,' plumbing and hot-water heat A|ll be In striking con trast to the usual type of Japanese dwelling. The latter has a sturdier skeleton than our frame houses, and outer walls of boards, but its interior partitions are of the frailest construc tion. They are, in fact more properly screens than walls. They usually con sist of a number of frames covered with’ decorated 'paper. These panels may be slid quickly to one side or entirely removed, making it possible to throw the entire interior of the house Into one room or to have a se ries of apartments. Even the outer walls facing gardens are often remov able. ' . ■ X ■ "The topical Japanese home has no; chimney. Cooking is done on small stoves with charcoal, and one keeps Helium ,in Monazite, Say German Savants Berlin. — German scientists claim to have discovered a new source-'"'>f helium, the nonin- Oammuble gas, In monazite, from which gas mantles are made. Experiments show, the scientists claim, that helium can be produced from the mineral in's# paying quantities, j ^ The discovery was made by S= research workers studying the * extraction of thorium nitrate * from monazite sand.

S warm by putting on additional padded clothing and by sitting near a small brazier—perhaps an individual one— also using charcoal for fuel. “The typical Japanese dwelling such as this does not now-have the entire field to. itself. "In the larger cities a number of frame houses and some of brick, have been built along American lines in recent years. But the Jap anese house of ‘wood and paper’ still shelters its millions.” Birth Rate Is Lowest in History of Nation New York.—The birth rate In America is. now loyer than at any other period of her; history and, due to’ the Increasing practice of birth control, the finest qualities of the race are in danger of being lost. These are. the conclusions of Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman, statistician, drawn from his research work for the Prudential Insurance company. About the only encouragemenj he finds is that the death rate is the lowest ever known, with one exception. He places the annual 'number of births in this country as about 2,600,000 and the deaths as 1,300,000. “The question of birth control would admit of no discussion,” he says in his report, “if the decrease in the birth rate affected exclusively the un desirable elements of the populai However, the reduction in births ap plies largely to those who are intel lectually as well as morally and eco nomically of the superior type. “If there is anything In the theory, the hereditary transmission of fine qualities, it must be apparent that we : are deliberately encouraging dimunitiqn of pronounced types of in telligence and- character upon which the nation must rely for Its direction and guidance."

Good or poor teeth depend largely upon the food and exercise given during the first few months of life. Doctor Durand; In his investigation of over two thousand children has based his report and proved that breast-fed babies stand the best c h a n c e fojr develop ment of good teeth. The babies fed on modified cow’s milk come next, eBd babies fed on sweetened and cqp- densed mUk Brc under the severest handicap.Those who have studied the earlier races lind there Is no Indication of dental decay which Is common among Ibe civilized nations. The proper brushing of the teeth after each meal and before retiring Is the best possible Insurance of long- lived, sound teeth. Good teeth, like good health, are never rightly appre ciated until they are lost A set of good sound tee® Is an asset too valuable from many stand points to need comment. The acld-formlng foods such as sugars nnd starthes contain bacteria (ftiich multiply rapidly In the mouth, attack the enamel of the teeth which is the great protection and when that Is worn away the teeth are easily broken down. AU sweet and starchy- foods are fermentable and acld-form lng, so the important thing Is to Se that the tee®' are properly- cleane after each meal.* Another important safeguard and one which is seldom no ticed, is the value of choice, tasty foods which need enough mastication to produce the flow of saliva to neu tralize the ever present acidity In toe mouth. The practice*!)! taking a bit of food and following It with liquid, softens the food and the saliva has not op portunity to get in its work. The per nicious practice seen so often In fam ilies wl® children, and even grown ups are not Immune, of dipping the food in milk, tea or coffee before eat ing, cannot be tpo strongly condemned. It is not only a mark of illbreeding but the habit is a very bad one for the health. While the teeth are developing and the jaws are growing the coarse fibrous foods Uke whole wheat should be use'd to keep toe teeth wen pol ished. 1 The last food In the mouth )s that which causes toe mischief. See that it Is neither sweet nor starchy, or follow It by a good brushing and rins ing of Uie mouth and teeth. Eggs improperly cooked are hard to digest Pried eggs should never be served to anyone who has not a fine digestive apparatus. Suggestiocs to Hostess. As a large per emit of all who en tertain must of necessity prepare , the food to serve without a maid, it Is wise to serve such a menu as will be good 'prepared before hand. A' good beginning to any meal such as lunch eon, dinner or a supper, is a fruit cocktail or a canape. The fruit cock- «11 is easily prepared, pretty when Ktied and may be placed on the tulle before the guests are seated. Qmapes are of such variety that Mebag large choice. They are served ™ email sections of bread cut illto rerlous shapes, the round being most used. If star-shaped pieces are to be served a different kind of .finely minced savory may be placed on each Point with a bit of pimento In the renter. CavJar, chopped olives, chow- ehow or any relish liked, anchovies—In act any tasty Savory is always enjoyed. c,ear soup is usually foUOved by a hearty meat course; if cream ^oup is served a light luncheon meat like creamed sweetbreads or a combina tion or-sweetbreads and mushrooms •ramoSe of any kind will be proper. The main dish; which may be lamb chops, tenderloin .with mushroom sauce, with a few green peas and 'a Potato croquette, or string beans and potato patties, is all served on one plate.

C. ihW )4 'Vi’V ilV1S M a B n i AlsikeCloverIs : GaininginFavor Withstands Freezing, Wet ,'and Acid Soilsi Better :• Than RedVariety. AJsike’ clover sowing has greatly In creased in the last few years owing to short crops of domestic red clover, and to difficulties which have been met in some sections In maintaining red clover yields. j- WIiiIe the importation of unadnpted ltdlian red clover has been almost en tirely stopped, and an ample supply of domestic and imported red clovers of proved hardiness Is assured, ex periment stations have examined the merits of all clovers, recognizing that under some conditions of soil and elim inate other nitrogen-secreting legumes may give better results. Experiments have 'been made by the Connecticut experiment station which are sum marized In a recent bulletin analyzing the respective merits of red clover and alslke as follows: Withstands Freezing, “A larger proportion of alslke is be ing grown, It may be, because of its witlistanding freezing, wet, and acid soils better than red clover. Alsike makes a finer hay than red, bnt does not yield qulteas well, neither does it produce as large a second crop. It frequently lives for several years while red seldom lives for more than two years. However, it cannot be counted upon for more than two seasons. Al- sike should be used exclusively on soils which are inclined to be wet but a mixture of red and alsike is best where both wet and dry conditions exist. Advantages of Red. “Red clover has longer roots than alsike, hence it is better adapted to soils which may become droughty. It matures about two weeks earlier than either alsike clover or timothy. This Is a disadvantage with mixed hay, but nn advantage frequently with pure red clover as the harvesting can he started early. The larger second growth of red olover is of particular advantage as It comes at a time when pasture is badly needed.” This last factor has been particu larly emphasized through the Middle West during the long dry spell of the past summer. Apply Strawberry Mulch •- During Severe Weather ;"If you - would enjoy a bountiful crop of luscious strawberries next spring, then mulch the bed/ It Is one of the most important operations nec essary to produce a good crop of strawberries,” says W. R. Martin, , ex tension horticulturist at Kansas. State Agricnltural college. Many' people think that the purpose of the mulch Is to prevent winter killing of the plants. This idea is mostly erroneous as the strawberry plants are very hardy and can withstand extremely low temperature, according to tills au thority. The purpose of the mulch Is to re- ; tard the tiine of blossoming so as to ; prevent frost injury in the spring, to ' throttle weed growth in the spring, to keep the. frui*i.^Sn, and to help re tain soil moisture, as strawberries re quire a large amount of moisture to produce a good crop. It is quite important to leave the strawberry bed exposed to several . hard freezes before applying the mulch so that the plants are ejntirely dormant It is also W.ell to haul the mulch when the ground is frozen so as to prevent the wagon from injuring the plants. .Feed and Careof Farm Horses During Winter Tks feed andl care of farm hordes during the winter months should be governed somewhat by the’ condition of the animals and the amount of work and exercise they are getting. LrOder no conditions is it advisable to cut'off the grain ration entirely or turn the animals, out'to a straw stack to get a scdnt living as best they can, or In other words barely to exist until springtime and hard work.- comes again. Individual horses require dif-' ferent feeds and in varying quantities during the winter months. Some ani mals when not at work , will winter nicely on silage as a principal feed with some hay, but some bran and ground oats to the ration Iss preferred. It is not advisable to feed silage to any horse that is being worked or driven, or one that is St all subject to colic. A horse that goes in the winter In fair fleSli should be fed a moderate amount of bay twice, a- day. . What a horse will eat in . an hour is plenty. This eating period will include also enough bran-and middlings or ground oats to keep him in good condition. Watch Closely Lambs to Be Fattened for Market Western lambs, which are to be fattened for market, should be watched closely when put into the feed lot- It will take a few-days- to get them accustomed to their new conditions, and especially to get them started right on their feed. -Too much grain at the start may result In death of some of the lambs. Untlb all the. iambs become accustomed to eating grain, only a small quantity of con centrates should be supplied as there Is the danger that some of the Iqmbs will -eat an excess of grain. Alfalfa hay Is valuable for fattening lambs, bnt a t' the start It Is safer to give some pralrie bay, straw of fod- In addition' to alfalfa. : . ', L 1 Water , Supply Quite EssentialforHenii Heavy LayersConsume Muqh During Winter. A liberal supply of fresh, clean wa ter, which is unfrozen, is essential for heavy egg production during w.vter months. Tlie fowl which is d: hevvy layer must be active, and hens of this ■ type consume a relatively large amount of water. One of tlie surest metnods c.£ pro viding plenty of water is to ocpply it at least twice a day. If the water freezes in the vessel this frozen mass should be thawed out and, the vessel cleaned before the fresh water is put into the vessel. Another: advantage of giving fresh water, like giving fresh feed, is that It- encourages the hens to drink. If the water vessel Is put on « raised stand It will aid In keeping trash and dust out of the water arid will therefore provide a, more sani tary water supply; Such a stm-d can be easily constructed by anyone who is handy with tools. The esumtlals are a place for the vessel holding the water and a platform for bens to stand upon while drinking. A good many watering devices arc on the market, many of which Ci-ntain a small electric light or smalt !amp to prevent the water from frr-iiing. All of these are helpful In getting the hens to consume a large qv.: aUf.y .vf water. Home-made devices are often constructed on the same principles. Where something of this kind is not, used it is essential thnt !iie chickens be furnished freshwater at least !Wlce a day during cold weather. m u m Test of Spreaders for Sprays in Orchard Work The results of a recent e-.7ieriic^nt carried on in New York wit I various spreaders for sprays has shov-n . ,,,e surprising results. Most of us who are interested in do ing the best possible job of spraying have been pretty well sold on the gen eral use of spreaders of one son or another, that is, the calcium caseinate, glue, or soaps of various kinds. rTke idea is to spread the spray dope a ?■ more uniformly over the Ieav=- tad fruits when spraying. In the experiments'carried on by the entomologists at the experiment sta tion of New York these various spread ers failed to give any. appreciable in crease In killing efficiency of the spray. Of course, these sprays w;re the com mon spray mixtures. However; it was found that the.casei i material served B very useful purpo-e in the prepara tion of such sprays an sulphur suspen sions and lubricating oil emulsion, sod theoretical considerations suggest trie desirability of adding calriurti caseinate to the lime-sulphur end lead arseas' j spray as a means of avoiding esrtsLa undesirable .chemical reactions,-accord ing to the report.

L. Joyce of Llnn county, Mo., which was shown to the Missouri state highway officers of Division No. 2, in Macon, Mo. The officers were Interested, but noted some possible objection to It. Too much sliade keeps a roadway damp, and the trees might interfere with the widening of the roadbed or the ditches, unless planted on the extreme edge of the right of way. The falling leaves, too, might Increase the autumn touring danger of “leaf skid ding.” ‘ A beautiful double row of old shade trees borders the lowlands, through which the old toll road from New London to Hannibal ; runs.. :Their danger to cars on night runs was lessened by coloring the trunks white. Residents are greatly attached to those ancient trees, and proud ,of the beautiful vista through them. Tourists frequently stop and take photographs there because of the picturesque view. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Use Storage Cellars to Make Potatoes Pay Wei? The value of common storage oci ir e Pennsylvania farm has beer; -Atr-HbIy Illustrated by the experience of the Pennsylvania State college. A year ago two concrete bank storage cellars, each of IO1OGO bushels capacity, were built by the college .- Mi the aid of various' commercial arir-ries. At potato digging time on the col lege farms this year the price was $1.25 a bushel. E’ive thousand br.siiels were stored. Just recently following the phenomenal rise In price Veveral carloads were sold for S2.24 a busfeel; about a dollar Increase, of which ad vantage could not have been tsber- without the storage cella-e. The In crease in price has netted the coll.—e enough to‘pay for half the cost of the cellars In ,one season, according to S. W. Fletcher, head of the college horti cultural department. Select Colors Carefully Window sashes, shutters and trim add to the richness if they are painted a deeper, darker color than, the body of the building. If the house Itself is dark, these parts should be done in a lighter share of the same color, or In cream or light neutral tint. This Is a very simple way to get contrast and Hrold monotony. Due regard should be had for the coloring of neighboring houses. Much good effect can be obtained with a little consideration in this direction Instead of an indifference which tends to mar the whole outlook. Tlie scheme of the house-as viewed from the street nhould be one of quiet, well-selected colors, so that it may dwell in amity with its neighbors and convey Sn im pression of good breeding and domes tic refinement. f a r m i / Financing the Home , When you .are thinking of building a home remember that no ,matter how carefully you build the first cost, is hot the last cost Besides the. payments on principal and interest on a home, I allowance must be made for some, or all of the following expenses: Renew als and repairs, property tax and spe cial assessments, insurance, water tax or rent, accessories,: Improvements.

PLACE INCUBATOR IN THE BASEMENT It is just as Important to locate the Incubator In a suitable place as to have a machine that will: ,produce good chicks. The best Incubator , made can not do well unless It is properly Io-, cated and given correct attentions ’ Fresh air is essehtlal. W.hen the In cubator is placed In the residence it will give best results in a room where there is a uniform temperature and plenty of ventilation. A window should be partly open except in ex tremely cold weather. Tbe Incubator should be placed In a room to itself when possible. A good cellar or basement is the best place for- ah incubator if vegetables, oils or other articles which give off gases or odors are not stored there.. The machine should be set -perfectly level, then run for at least two days and nights before the eggs are placed In it. Be sure to have the right tem perature and understand the working of the machine . It is a'good plan to place a paper over the egg tray when testing out the machine. By so doing practically the same space to heat is provided that will be used when the eggs are in the machine When the incubator is empty the thermometer will read a little lower than It would if 1 the machine were full, for as the eggs become warmed they raise the temperature slightly. By using the ■ paper over the egg tray a fairer test will be secured. Placing an incubator In a bedroom or living room is not advisable; The fumes from the lamp are not best for a sleeping person to breathe. Even with the W1Indows open at night It Is best to keep the incubator out of bed rooms unless' there is no other conven ient place. The living room lacks the- uniform temperature that brings best results. Too often the room is hot during the day and rather cold at night This usually causes trouble in regulating the incubator to hold a uni form temperature In the machine. The Incubator should not be placed In the same room in the basement with the furnace. The gas and dust from the furnace are detrimental. Special rooms In the basement or a I regular Incubator cellar give an ideal location for incubators. Uniformity of temperature and plenty of ventila tion without too'much evaporation and no drafts, give the Incubator the proper surroundings. When two or ' more machines are used it will pay to provide such a place. Very little heat Is necessary In the. incubator room unless It Is necessary to" air the eggs. The better machines are so . constructed that the eggs are removed only for turning. If this is the case the Incubator can be run suc cessfully after March I where there Is no heat, but It must be protected and free, from drafts. It takes a good incubator properly lo cated and carefully attended to substi tute-for the setting hen. A ben will leave her nest for fifteen to twenty minutes even In cold weather, yet pro duce a good number of chicks. Fur ther, the chicks will be strong and vig orous If from the right sort of a flock. A good Incubator will hatch just as successfully and just as'strong chicks if given the chance. Too often a per: son running an Incubator will take .more care of the machine than he does of the eggs. The Incubator should be used as a means to helping the egg to produce a good, livable chick -instead of a method of forcing every... egg to hatch. To a large extent this, differ ence can be brought about through better care of they eggs and proper lo cation of the incubator.—Noel Hall, Extension Specialist, Missouri State Poultry Experiment Station, Mountain Grove.

I001 IaW etT IT R ^a oflfice.! TEN g amounts thought lent in- consti- but Don't get Governor McLean, the business mail could get away from Gover nor McLean, the politician, when it came to naming a member of the State's highest court and when Justice Varser resigned a few days ago the governor immediately ap pointed an out-and-out Democratic machine politician from Durham, W J. Brogden. Brogden managed McLean’s campaign Ior the nomi nation in the Democratic primary in 1924. It is rather strange but it was in Durham that McLean parti san election officers were found to be destioying Bailey ballots and stuflSng the boxes with McLean ballots. • They were convicted for this outrageous crime. Governor McLeaD has however precedent for appointing politicians io the Supreme court bench. Gov ernor . Kitchiu named campaign manager. Judge Manning, to the high court but at the first opportu nity he was repudiated by his par ty and only allowed to serve for the appointive term. Governor Morrison came along and named his campaign manager, Heriot Clarkson, a noted ward pol itician, of Charlotte, to the Su preme court. Clarkson comes up in the June primary for endorse ment and it remains to be seen whether the people will treat him as they did Manning ; or will ac- quisce in these political judicial ap pointments by endorsing Clarkson The Supreme court of the State should by every rule be as far re moved from .partisanship as is. pos-. sible but bur gOverriofs have turn ed it into a football of politics, a place where their henchmen are rewarded for their dirty work in a heated political campaign W ith one exception, that of ju s tice Adatns, every one of the mem bers of the Supreme court as at present constituted are astute poli ticians; ot the North Carolina ma chine bxand. This should not be but it is the truth.—Union Repub lican. Help For The Tenants. A question that bas some consi deration but still awaits final settle ment is that of farm tenancy in North Carolina. If our settlement can do anything about it seems time that thev were doing it. , Forty three and a half percent of all farms in the State are operated by tenants, -white and colored Some of these tenants are fairly successful people; that is to say they have pret ty good homes, enough to eat and wear, send their children to school and live as respectable people should live.' Oo the contrary though there are thousands of these tenant people who five under very unfavorable conditions Thev are poor and ignoi ant, many cannot read or write their children go to school but little* if any at all, they attend church but rarely ,and often go into the business of mak'ing whiskey or unlawful oc cupations. Thesepeopleare not ac cumulating anv wealth, they rarely ever get able to buv a piece of land and they move from place to place hoping to better, their condition The tendancy problem is that of get; ting this class of people out of the rut in which they are hopelessly struggling The first thing needful is:to put some.hope in their breasts Let them feel that they have a cnance to better themselves and then foilow this up with something practical.' A P^an °f spme sort shoqlcl be evolve'd'which will give the tenant farmer a chance to own a farm. JThe State might lend them the money on long time and then see to it th at. he met his obligations. There would be some failures of course but in the mam the plan ought to work and if it did a vast improvement in the con dition of a now impoverished people and a consequent benefit to the whole State.—Ex. School.tablets at Record oflfice. Pay. Without Work. f One thing we cannot understand and that is why the great army of clerks employed by the State in the several departments at Raligh, the majority of them from Wake coun ty think that they should have' so many holidays, sick leaves, vacation periods and the like while the honest taxpayers of the State have to put in on an average of 813 days in the year at hard work and many of them more. Some even have to work late at night and others all night, while these pampered ones working for the State have short hours and kick because thev have only 57 holidays in the year in which time they are drawing their pay just the same. The commissionsometimeago de cided to cut the 12 legal holidays in the state in two and allow ,only six but under a ruling of the attorney general this could not be done and the clerks thought they had scored a famous victory but when the com mission again met they passed an order reducing the vacation period to seven days. This brought forth an attitude of hostility from the clerks but what if it did? They are no better than other working people and if the great armv employed at Raleigh doesn’t choose to abide by the ruling of the commission the door is open and they can quit There are others just as competent as those now emploved who are willing and ready to take their places, The employes of the State under the new ruling will get 12 legal holi days, seven working days for vaca tion, 10 days sick leave, and two days petty leave, whatever this is, a total of 31. To this total is added 26 other davs from the fact that they work only half day on Satur day. This makes the aggregate of dayroff;wsth; pay 57. 'To thi's add; the 52 Sundays in the year and de duct the total-from.3|>5 days in the year and only 256 days for working are left. ^ And still they are kicking and spreading forth over , the State the most vicious form of propaganda in an effort to discredit the Balary and wage commission. And at that they are kicking on the salary they are receiving and at the last meeting of the commission 6.00 of them peti tioned for a raise. If a bouse cleaning ever was need ed in any place it is needed in tbe departments in the State capitol and other public offices in Raleigh. A new broom is needed there that will sweep out these kickers, these old fossils, some of whom have been there for more than a quarter of a century and think they own thecapi tol.—UnionRepubIican' - k 1 Big Deficit at Asheville. Auditors have recently made an exhaustive audit of the financial 1 f fairs of the city of Asheville, and in their report submitted a few days ago. show that a total gross deficit of $l,o43,518 jn city funds existed for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1925 It is not charged that any money has been stolen or embezzled but the deficit is due to the loose management of the city officials. "It appears to us that the general financing condition of the city is such as to commarid very serious .at- teiition,” savs the report. “ The basis of this suggestion is the fact that the' dificits aggregate, more than a million dollarB at the close of the year, and the budget ? that has just been made up does not provide for the payment of anv of these de ficits, and further it is not known what deficit wifi be in other funds when the final costs of tne projects are known.” Asheville is 'a strong Democratic city and the mayor there, James H Oathey. is a machine Democrat of the old school, the Wacts-Morrison tyrio of Nor^,.’,Catp!ina democracy.

In 1919, within five years more than one million repro ductions of that record had been sold andj Mrs: Zimbalist, or Alma Gluck that was, had received $127,- OOO in royalties from that one song She invested the $127,000 in a home in New York city, which she sold a few days ago for $300,000. The in terest in this story is not the real estate investment, although that is the material part. It is the wonder ful popularity of an old time south ern melody. Millions.of people have listened with pleasure to “Carry Me Back to Ole Virginny” as sung by- Alma GlUck and reproduced on the phonograph record. While figures are not at hand for comparison, the great popularity of a song that liter ally carries back to another dav those who have even indirect know ledge of that day, is evidence of that day,' is evidence of the hold the melodies of another day retain in this more sophisticated era, when musical talent and the knowledge of knowledge of music have advanced so far bdyond the period of the pro duction of "Carry Me Back to Ole Virginny.” The words of the song are not inspiring. Itisth e melody, the tune; the air, that has given it life and prolonged that the appeal is not alone to the sentiment of those who associate, the melody with child hood in the.distapt past, but that it takes hold even on those who ha\ e no sentimental association with it Some of the popular airs are that way, regardless of merit from the musician's standpoint. Indeed the musicians,t:of the higher altitudes have little patience witn these pop ular melodies Those rank high in tbe higher realms. But iti the pop ular audience in these parts, in which knowledge of music is limited it is the wise concert director who places on the'prongram one or two of the melodies of auotber day that have never lost their appeal, (That is noticeable at all public concerts ThoBe who do not: fully appreciate them, no matter how thrilling they many be to those who understand But there is that in some of the old songB, the one that brought Alma Gluck rich financial returns, and others similar, that never loses its charm. It isn’t because they are old, either. Things without merit do not survive.—Greensboro News. VICKSVv a r o K h s No Cause For Worry. There is always more or less worry connected -with money Those of us who do not have it worry about getting it, and those of us who have it are often put to a great deal of worry in hanging on tb it. In addition to this no little worry is brought ou the desire to make a jitney grow where only a penny grew before. It seems as though poets and philosophers have conspired to bring money into dis pute, so anxious are they to tell us that-the mere possession of it is a great burden. In more recent times there has come to us the warning that nioney carries germs. Germ experts even went-so far as to demonstrate !hat a bank clerk's occupation was par ticularly hazardous because he handles so much money. But now this dread has been dispelled. After exhaustive investigation on the subject of money as germ cariers two Illinois University experts as sure Us that this ganger has been grea.tely exaggerated. ' It seems thafe.the. metals frottv which coins are-made act as destroyers of bac teria. This relieves us of the worry con nected with the handling of monev, Tne next thing for some experts to is to tell "ilk-how we 111a v be relieved of our worries in trying to get hold j of it.—Ex. . I doesn’t Think Much of Al Smith. The North Carolina Chrislian Advocate, organ of the Methrdi it 'hurch in North Carolina, doesn ihink much of the effort being made to nominate Governor Al ’Uiitb, of New York, for President ny. the Democrats in 1928. The Advocate however is, we believe mistaken, when it savs the Democrats of North Carolina will not swallow Al They have 111 the past swallowed ^onie men on their ticket with a record that is not as good 'as Governor -Smith’s and sivore that it tasted fine. As a rule the Democratic party in North Carolina is so hog- tied and boss-ridden that they* will vote for any man that is on the Democratic ticket, it makes no difference what kind of a record or character he has. And they, will walk up like sheep to the slaugh ter and swalllow Al in 1928 if he is the nominee. The Advocate says there is a campaign in the South to secure a show of sentiment of the Volstead Act, and also to win Southeiti Dem ocrats to the standard of Gover nor' Smith of New York for the presidency. The source of this, campaign unquestionaly is the Emj pire State, mare particularly. New* York City, that. un-American city- on American soil. The time has been when the South would rally to any man who has been tagged a Democrat and many such ,citizens still dwell in these Southern paral lels, but When New York comes asking that the Southern Demo- Uipcrats swaUqiv a rum soaked. Ro-. man Catholic who is wholly out of symp.-.thy with at least one impor tant clause'of Ihe United.States and is a willing tool of ‘ that alien element of New York which seek to annul the constution; they are ask ing'too much. We hardly believe that South Carolina could swallow tnat pill. North Carolina would unquestionably swing into’ the Re publican colum n.. The Roman Catholic church thru all the. years has been no appeal of appetite. And a wet Roman Catholic tun ning for the presidency would a- rouse the Protestant churches as they have not been stirred since they put the open saloon out of business after along and bitter struggle that stretched across 50 eventful years. Let no one think that the Protestant ministry has forgotten how to fight the liquor forces. If we must fight now -is as opportune time as any to begiti the battle. ‘To your tents,' O Israel.’ ” Taking heauty sleep is a waste of time whem you can buy-, it at the drug store. , * Plight of the Democrats. Ti is not generally our purpose to help the Democratic national party e ect a President of the United States’’ says the Chicago Tribune, “ out the difficulties of the party in vite the sympathy of the opposition. If itpicksupaliveonein the east, it has a deadline in the west. A hot one in New York is too hot in the South. ' The party might be sitting pretty by the Hudson and on a tack, south of the. Onio river. It 'might be going strong with a candidate in tbe South and be given three rous ing raspberries in the east and run up an alley in the west. ' v "If it is good in.one section of the country itJs awful in another. The qualities and opinions which make Al Smith a fair haired boy in the east would get him an ash barrel in the south and call out a posse in the west. What you make on the pea- nutta you lose on .the damma banan. "W hat the party needs, is a trick of multiple personality which in the east would appear wet and conser vative, light wines and beer, and heavy dividends; in the South con servative and dry; and in the west radical and dry, for soft Iiouids and soft money, heavy taxation in New York and lots of fertilizer in Iowa.” Perspiring at a dance and over the kitchen stove are entirely differ ent things.' Passing of Good Manners. The accusation is made that nun 110 longer are courteous to womeu they once were. Good manneis are out of date, 'it is said. The change in woman’s status. Since she has left the shelder of tbe home and engaged in business and public activities, it is not considered need ful to show her deference. Men, unashamed, will remain seated in street cars while women stand; they will smoke in mixed society, with out so much as asking permission; Ihev will speak of girls as • ’fel lows.” "She’s a good fellow” one ' will hear them say. Does it mean tnat the enfranchisement of women, the striking off of the shackles, has killed chivalry? that men cannot be expected to show courtesy to wom eu unless women occupy a subordi nate position in society? It may be that women are them selves partly to blame Some have lost the respect that, formerly was theirs by adopting masculine ways. A few foolish ones dislike, to be thought of as of "the weaker sex” or "the gentler sex,” and on that account viscourages the showing of deference to them, thiukmg it im plies that they, are not the equel of men. Of course they are not the equals of men in muscular strength, and thev should glory in not being the equals of men iu coarseuess, either. If there is to be leveling of the sexes it should be effected by rais ing men’s standard of refinement, not by lowering women’s. A great nau showed perception of this many years ago at a banquet ill Iris' honor. v‘‘Since there are no ladies present,” said one of the speakers,- kT7lOio harm will be done by my tell ing an indelicate story.” But the e are gentlemen present,” objected the great man.—Ex. Time To Take Stock. Once a year business establish ments take'. stock, weigh resources against liabilities, turn back tbe old pages and put pen 10 new. Each year the well-regulated business strikes balance and gtarts again, m t over again from the old beginning, but fresh from the old year’s finish* Onceayear the individual- seri ous minded man or woman or am bitious girl or boy—takes stock, stock of happiness and tbe health and wealth upon which it is founded Each measure with the yard-stick of conscience the component elements of these two great pillars of life: health of body and mind and spirit, and weath of experience, mental re sources, friendships, the will to do, and self-esteem. Inventory is important to the cor. poration and to the individual be cause it points out basic truths. First perhaps, is that life is growth. Another that the matter of our growth is in our own hands. And still another that we may guide our selves to a more . productive and happier correcting the mistakes of the past. * "To "know thyself” continues Io he the first rule of happiness qnd success which are opq and the some. Honest self-examination is profitable but painful, as most unaccustomed exertion is. Probing a lazy mind, a sore conscience or a hollow tooth is unpleasant. But it iB absolutely necessary to prevent further decay, nad eventual dissolution. Experience exposes the weakTinks in the chain of business. Inventory is the reading of experience. Itniust be done honestly, courageously, without self deception. Else :one dav the chain will snap. Let us take stock, nor fear to know our weakness Knowing, we may correct them, and build strnnv- er and surer, happier for ourselves and become more useful to others.— Ex. 1:1 tor 1 f-i Vi.

Atlanta, Ga.—Determined to effect a reform In the present federal system of crop reporting and to bring about a 25 per cent reduction in acreage planted in cotton, the south-wide cot ton conference, which met here is sued a call for a “greater south-wide convention of cotton men” to meet in -Memphis, February 3. Prior to the convention at Mem phis' conferences will be held In the capital cities of each cotton-produc ing state, under the direction of state commissioners of agriculture, govern ors of various states and every other interested cotton factor. Theset state gatherings will be held January 25 and have primarily for their object the formulation of means of reaching an agreement on the question of or ganization and representation at the general convention at Memphis. ' The Memphis convention will be presented with the action of meeting here, at which resolutions were unani mously adopted urging cotton grow ers to reduce their 1926 acreage 25 per cent, and petitioning Congress for reforms in the crop reporting sys tem, including the abolition of the present semi-monthly gin reports and substituting for them a once-a-month report, which, delegates argued, would help stabilize conditions in the trans fer of cotton from the grower to the buyer; and another provision which asks Congress to appropriate funds for the issuance at the end of each session of a report showing what it cOst to produce the cotton grown that year. ’ ; The conventions are a result of a campaign for acreage reduction and the stabilization of costs and prices of farmers’ commodities, particularly cotton, which is being waged by the American Cotton association. It is also the aim of the association to in duce every cotton grower to plant more-feed and foodstuffs, thus insur ing the farmer a greater production of self-sustaining crops and offsetting the loss incurred by low prices paid for his cotton crop. Three Die in Explosion. Miami Beach, Fla.—An explosion on the Gulf Refining company barge “Gulfsprite” resulted in the death of three members of the crew and the injury of several others. The dead are Thomas Andyews, 21, engineer; Howard Johnson, 20, oiler; L. Davis, 42, engineer. The injured included: ^Captain Harry Hanson, of the barge, severely burned, and Clayton Vogel, superin tendent of the Gulf Refining com pany plant, bruised and burned. The explosion followed a flareback which occurred during an attempt to ignite the furnace fire with a blow torch used for that purpose. The three dead men were in the engine room at the time of the explosion and were bunted to. death. Captain Hanson was blowh 20 feet from the deck of the barge. Mr. Vogel receiv ed his burns in going to the aid of Captain Haitson. Locked in Vault Six Hours. Charlotte, N. C--Locked in. the vault of the Merchants and Farmers bank of Great Falls, S.

HEAD OF COM- < MISSION. Washington.—Major General Wil liam Lassiter,'army commander of the Panama Canal Zone and a native of Petersburg, Va., has been suggest ed to replace General John J. Persh ing as neutral head of the Tacna- Arica plebescitary commission in the event a substitute is appointed to carry on the work In Arica during General Perishing’s return trip to this country for medical and dental treatment It is possible that Lassiter may be named to act only temporary for Gen eral Pershing, but should the latter find it impossible, to conclude his la bors In South America the appoint ment may be made permanently. General Lassiter’s selection undoubt edly would meet General Pershing’s approval. He is recognized as one of the army’s best administrators and when General Pershing was chief of staff he selected Lassiter as assistant chief of staff. Another advantage of such an appointment would be the close proximity of General Lassiter’s post In the Canal Zone to Arica. Smuggling From Cuba on Increase. Havana.—In consequence of the re cent anti-smuggling treaties arranged between Canada and the United States and Mexico and the United States and the formulation of a simi lar treaty between Cuba and the Unit ed States, it is unofficially reported that there has been a great increase in smuggling both of liquor and aliens from Cuba to the United States. Assistant Solicitor Vallance, of the American state department, and Cu ban state department officials are put ting the proposed anti-smuggling- treaty into shape for presentation to the two governments. It is expected to 1Provide regulations for passenger and freight vessels plying between the two countries. Smallpox at Tampa, Fla. Tampa, Fla.—Leading newspapers in Tampa carried no mention of re ported smallpox cases here, which Dr. E. C. Levy, city health officer, said are bordering on an epidemic. The health officer, who has termed newspaper publicity of the disease his "greatest weapon” to combat its spread, prepar ed through printed circulars to carry his appeal into homes through school children. The KinwanIs club of Tampa went to record as being opposed to any pub licity on the number of smallpox cases in the city. A committee, head ed by Dr. W. M. Rowlett, member of the Florida medical board of examin ers, . was named to call on publishers of newspapers. Dance Banned at W. A. M. Williamsburg, Va.—The Charleston, the latest step to invade the dance halls, was banned at the college of William and Mary. For many years the re-opening of the college after the Christmas holi day vacation with its gay round of social events has been the period for the introduction of-something new in dancing. - Students who gathered the latest steps at Yuletide parties have in the past returned to school proud of their accomplishments. But this year their efforts were in vain for just one demonstration of the Cbar- leson was enough for officials. Greeks Discuss War Debt Claim. Washington.—A Greek delegation has presented to the Treasury a me morandum concerning their govern ment’s debt- to the United States. jA credit of $50,000,000 w sb extend ed to Greece during the war but only $15,000 of it igas ever adnvanced. The Greeks believed they were to have all of the credit extended and they have now developed certain claims which must be smoothed vout before a funding arrangement can be reached. America Enters Protest.

Paris.—Transylvania, actem Hun gary and Rumania present the most critical situation In Europe, which Ib slowly emerging from one of the worst floods in its history. The number of dead in these coun tries and the amount pf damage in flicted probably will not be known for several days, perhaps weeks, because of the demoralization of communica tions and because of vast areas of ter ritory which will likely remain under water for some time. But it is cer tain that there wil Ibe a tremendouB death toll and huge financial loss. The swollen rivers and canals In Belgium and Holland are going down. The German and Polish Tivers also are receding. The situation In France remains at a standstill, but the rain there continues unabated. Details of the casualties and suffer ing in Transylvania, Hungary and Ru mania slowly are reaching Budapest and Bucharest It Is variously esti mated that between 500 and 1,000 per sons have perished, while the loss In cattle and the damage to spring'wheat and property is tremendous. Most deaths occurred In isolated hamlets and on small farms, where residents had no warning of approach ing danger. This makes the number of close computation of casualties al most impossible. Many died of hun ger or exposure as they waited to be rescued from their housetops or other vantage points. ' Eastern Hungary has suffered great ly but the wheat reports are more re assuring. At Kis-Jano, it is known that 155 houses collapsed and several persons perished.

Washington.—Refund of $100,000,- 0 0 0 to southern states taxed for cotton crops during the Civil war was asked in a bill introduced in the. house by Representative Edwards, of Georgia. The bill states the sum mentioned is “now illegally held in the treas ury.” The government would be re quired to refund the money to the states affected, which in turn would return it to the planters or their heirs. The tax was levied on cotton acre age from 1863 to 1868. Mr. Edwards, in explaining the bill, said the supreme court had held the tax illegal, but that no refund ever had been made. Vaudeville Staged In Church Services. Erie, Pa.—Vaudeville acts will have a place hereafter on the program of Sunday services in the First BaptiBt church of Erie. Rev. Oliver Horsman, pastor, has notified his congregation that vaude ville actors and actresses, from an Erie theater, will appear In future dur ing Sunday evening services In the First church. Two acts were intermingled with the church services—the first a violin ist, and'the second vocalists and in strumentalists. Explaining his move, the pastor said; “In tbe past the <.dmrc& das held an, attitude of aloofness and con demnation with regard to the stage. I will not say at this time whether that was right or wrong, but I thoijght a little experiment of co-operation be tween church and theater might not prove amiss. I hope the congregation of this church will receive the actorB and the actresses as human beings like the rest of us.” - Would Strip Dohey Interest*.

Washington.—Acting under its pol icy of giving every aid within its power to American flag lines, the shipping board repossessed itself of the American-Palmetto line, sold last September Cd the Carolina Steamship company, of Charleston, S. C., and then designated that company as the managing operator of the line for the fleet corporation. The line operates six freighters from South Atlantic ports to the Unit ed Kingdom and northern European ports. The board’s course was made necessary, officials explained by re cent developments In foreign compe tition. It was the first action of the kind taken by the board since it took over, several years ago, the United States mail lines and formed the Unit ed States lines running out of New York for Europe. The policy of giving every possible support, even to the extent of repos session, to American lines, has been emphasized In recent months, during which the board has sold several gov ernment passenger and freight lines to private operators. The board in tends to keep the American flag.on the seas, it was stated, In the face of any foreign competitive conditions. Chairman O’Connor has recently discussed this situation with Presi dent Coolidge, and officials have as serted that the board intends to keep the flag on the seas despite any for eign competition which might develop. The Palmetto line ,which trans ports considerable cotton, naval stores and lumber on outward voyages and general cargo on return trips, was taken back under a clause common to all board contracts for sale of ships providing for repossession It condi tions' warrant. Competition encount ered from foreign ships since the sale, commissioners explained, had threat ened the continued existence of the line. The effect of the transatcion is to vest title of the line again in the board, with the Carolina company absorbing a loss of about $75,000 al ready paid toward the purchase price. The company, which had operated the line under contract prior to the pur chase, had been encountering a loss of $1 0 ,0 0 0 a month since that time, It was said, and consented to the an rangement effected.

MarketingAids Used by Farmer Good Evidence That Better Business Methods Are BeingEmployed. <Prepftred by the United States Department of Agriculture.) There.Js every evidence that farm ers generally are u: !ng better business methods in handling and marketing their products, the bureau of agricul tural economics points out in Its an nual report to the secretary of agri culture. “This Is shown,” says the re port, “in the manner in which farmers have rebuilt their business from-the depression of five years ago. It Is shown, also, by the steadily increas ing call for information on standardiza tion and inspection of farm products, farm management, credit facilities, and both domestic and foreign market news.’’ • Is a Service Bureau. The bureau is organized to obtain by research and investigation facts on practically all phases of the economics of agriculture from problems in farm management to the final distribution of agricultural products to consumers. It is essentially a service bureau to give farmers the best available Infor mation on these subjects. Federal standards are now In use for 82 leading fruits and vegetables, 8 grains, 7 varieties of hay, cotton, wool, tobacco,, butter and eggs, and for a number of classes of live stock and dressed meats. Tlie American cotton standards are now used throughout, the world, and the bureau is endeavor ing to effect similar uniform stand ards for wool. Market news reports on shipments, supplies and prices of farm products In the leading market centers are used by farmers everywhere, a natibn-wide service on collecting and disseminat ing this news by telegraph and radio having been organized. The bureau operates the largest government leased wire circuit in the world .in connec tion with this service. 1 'Much Help to Farmer. Facts provided farmers on the out look for specific fitrm crops, it is con sidered, have done much' to enable . them ,to plan their operations. The pig surveys by the bureau have been used widely In an effort to reduce the ups and downs In' the hog industry. "Special effort is made in the mar keting work of the bureau to deter mine the kinds, quality and quantity of products which are and which should be offered for sale. In the process of distribution questions of standardization, packing, assembling, • transporting, warehousing, financing- and finally of retailing all call for spe cial studies and services. “Without broad Information In re gard to general economic conditions, the farmer is not able to meet the changing conditions In domestic and worlfl markets. Hence the need of closely co-ordinating the facts of na tional and world production, movef- ments and prices for the purpose of providing a basis upon which farmers may plan their programs of work.” PaperBestSuited for Wrapping- Fruit Should Have Good Strength and Flexibility. (Prepared by the United'States Department of Agriculture.) Practical tests to determine suit able papers for wrapping fruits and vegetables conducted by the bureau of chemistry of the' United States De partment of Agriculture show that pa per for wrapping, apples, oranges, lemons, pears and tomatoes should weigh 1 0 or 1 2 pounds per ream of 500 sheets 24 by 36 Inches in stie, and that it should have a bursting strength of not less than 6 points. It should have sufficient flexibility and strengtfi to withstand tlie vigor ous rapid twist given the paper In wrapping and to give a smooth, attrac tive appearance to the wrapped fruit. Paper complying with these require ments generally has been found satis factory by ,the packers, but paper not complying with the specifications has not proved serviceable. , Wrapping papers of-the right kind will retard evaporation aiyl thus tend to keep fruits and vegetables In a fresh condition. They will reduce damage in shipment from rubbing or jarring, retard final ripening nntil re moved by the retailer, and they will give protection from dust, frost or the sun. While It cannot be expected that one kind of paper will prove suitable for all kinds of fruits and vegetables, the specifications will enable shiVpers to purchase satisfactory wrapping pa pers. v- In order to secure additional infor mation for fruit packers, the bureau of chemistry will examine samples of paper that have proved satisfactory In service. The sample sent in must consist of at least 2 0 wrappers, 1 0 new and 1 0 that show the paper torn or damaged In .wrapping fruit A full statement as to the points In which the paper is unsatisfactory; the name of the maker, brand name ,of paper, and approximate percentage of the paper failing during wrapping, should accompany the sample which should be mailed to the bureau at Washing ton. Alfalfa Proven Success as Protein for Cows Alfalfa is no longer an experiment; It is a proven success. With alfalfa the dairyman has good financial possi bilities, but without It the future holds but little hofie. Few as yet really appreciate alfalfa or they would be growing a larger acreage, of it. Al falfa yields twice the tonnage of other hays and several times the amouht of protein. Sightly handled it does not need to be seeded nearly as often. In total feeding value it is surpassed only In yield by.com silage and the two should go hand in hand as one balances the other. They are by'far our 'most profitable crops, although sweet clover pasture and corn for husking are likewise, profitable. 1 Alfalfa will do well on any good corn soil that is well drained and sup- plled-wlth lime. Land manured for corn the previous year is preferable. Fall plowing insures a firmer seed bed and is to be preferred for seeding 'down. Rotling of spring plowing Is next best. In any case it will pay to :fit the soil well. If the SOil-IackS lime, and a test ■will show whether It does or not, the lime can be applied any time after plowing In the fall, winter or spring. Later it should be disked in.: 'Vi.: . Easiest and Humane Way to Dehorn Young Calves The easiest and most humane way to dehorn calves is by the use of stlA' caustic potash when they are but a few days old. - When the calf is four to seven days old the hair over and around the knobs .that later produce horns Is clipped close. Tlie moistened end of a stick of rcaustic potash is then rubbed over . the horn until a spot about the size of a dime becomes raw. - Grease may be applied to the outer edge; of the spot to prevent spread of the caustic and making the sore larger than necessary. . The calf should be kept in the dry . for a few hours after the treatment. Following the successful application of the caustic a scab will forai over the knob and drop off in a few days. Stick caustic potash can be'procured at a drug store for a few cents’ and ’ may be kept for some time In' a tightly stoppered bottle. VlHle handling the caustic it should be wrapped In paper to rm e n t injury.to the band*. Cultivation of Alfalfa Helps to Control Weeds Cultivation of alfalfa may be bene ficial under two conditions—when barnyard manure has been applied to \ the soil as a top dressing, and when it Is necessary to control weeds, ac cording to Prof. S. 0. Salmon of the department of agronomy at the Kan sas State Agricultural college. '■Efficient cultivation works the ^manure into the soil where it more readily decays and hence becomes more useful to the plants,” said Pro fessor Salmon. “There is good rea son to believe that cultivation after applying manure may be beneficial for that reason. There is no experi mental evidence, however, to verify or disprove this opinion. lSluegrass, crabgrass and foxtail which greatly damage old alfalfa fields can be practically eradicated through cultivation. When alfalfa fields are to be left for seed it may be especially desirable to remove all weeds by cultivation. “One of the best Implements for cultivation is the spring-tooth harrow. If the ground is very hard a disk har row may be used. A good time to cultivate Is early In the'spring be fore growth starts. Cultivation im mediately After removing^the first crop Is perhaps more effective in kill ing bluegrass whereas cultivation af ter the second or third crop*Is cut may be most effective in killing crab- grass.’ Cowpea Valuable as Hay for Different Animals The cowpea is valuable for hay, be ing nearly equal to wheat bran In nu trition, according-to the Department of Agriculture. The seed Is rich feed but is UttVe used because of its scarc ity and high price. It also makes an excellent dish for human consumption and is considerably used in the South. The seedy is long lived and can be jtored for long periods without loss of ermloatlng quality but is attacked by weevils, so seed houses are forced to treat. it with carbon' bisulphid before storing, to kill off these pests and to give later treatment to keep them In check. While there are a number of varieties oiily a few are, recognized as of first importance and the seed trade is accumulating a stock of the-best sorts for distribution through- careful tests' and study. FMjyiDTES If the apples kept in the cellar for home use are sorted occasionally rot will not spread. . * • • Every pound, of fruit, vegetables, milk or meat placed on the market has a part in. affecting the price of all. * *v • - European clover seed is low In price and quality, though neither are'as low as the man who. would sell it for home grown seed. * *. * There. are approximately 193,000 farms In New York( state, which is about three times as many as there are In the state of Washington. * •*■ « Experience goes to sho* that there is less waste of the fertilising elements ?f manure when It is spread upon the fields - as fiist as It accumulates.

I The History of Nleodemus (w . < o< Cf- 7:4o-5219:3S-42). ’■The lesson of today has its peculiar Si-Tnfflcanre the ,lRht of Nieodemus’ JitJtion ill life He was a learned rabbi, a (loefor of tbe law. and pre sumably a man of good character. His coming" b.v night indicates his timidity. !,He .losepli of Arimathea he was afraid to openly espouse the cause of the new teacher of Galilee. Though timid. «s an honest man he Investi gated and got first-hand- information Because of this information he uttered the Iirave words In the Sanhedrln against Judging a man before hearing Iim (.Tolin 7:45-52),/and he also ren dered tlie loving service at the Lord’s tonlb (John 19:3S-42). II. Jesus’ Discourse With Nicode- - mils (VV. 3-37). The subject of this conversation was the new birth. 1. Tlie Necessity of the New Birth (tv. 3-7).It is not a matter of choice whether one is to be born again, but of ne cessity. if he is ever to see or enter the kingdom of God. Regeneration Is tlie first demand the gospel of Christ makes upon man. (1) The kingdom of God is a spirit ual kingdom, therefore there must be >a splrtiual birth In order to enter it (v. 3). As w® enter the physical kingdom b.v a natural birth, so we enter tlie kingdom of God by a sujier- natnral birth. (2) The nature which we get through the natural birth is radical and es sentially bad (v. 6 ; Cf. Gal. 6:19-21). That which is born of the flesh is flesh. The flesli cannot be improved (Jer. 12:23): cultivate and educate It all you please and It will still remain flesh. In order to enter Into the king dom of heaven there must be a na ture fitted for heaven. There Is noth ing that can be substituted for the new birth. Men' today are trying to substitute morality and education for the new birth. Nieodemus possessed these, yet Christ declared that he needed something more. It is no more possible to have a physical being with out a physical birth than it is to have a spiritual nature without being born Cf tlie spirit 2. Tlie Mystery of the New Birth (n. 8-13). Tliough mysterious, its results are definite. We cannot discern from whence the wind cometli, or whither It goeth, but we know that it blows by Its effects. The fruits of our life demonstrate our nature, whether It is heavenly or carnal. We need not be told that we have had a physical birth, for our bodies with their vari ous faculties prove it, Even so, the presence within* us of a nature which has no affinity for the things of the ttrld, but a strong affection for God and a disposition to yietd prompt obedience to His commands, proves ftat we have been born from above. 3. The Ground Upon Which the New Mtlh Rests (vv. 14, 15). Christ’s atoning death on the cross Iste regeneration possible. He took place of sinners. His infinite aaIt was placed to their account; He suffered in the sinner’s stead. 4. For Whom Salvation Was Pro- rIflea (w. 16, 17). "Whosoever belleveth on Him.” These verses give In a condensed form the whole plan of salvation. Observe: 0) Its source—“God so loved.” (2) s SrOunfl1 the death of Christ—"He ever." (4 ) Jts condition—“belleveth on Him.” its results—“should not per ish, Iiave everlasting life.” HI-Wan1S Attitude Toward Christ (tv. 1S-21). I- Some Believe and Are Saved. Those who believe are now free from cotfdenination (John 5:24). They are sot only saved now but forever (John 10:28, 29). 2. Some will Not Believfe and Are Therefore Resting Under the Condem nation of God. Tlie awful sin which causes men to he eternally lost is unbelief In Christ. The cause of tlieir unbelief in Him Is their love of sin. Refusal to come to Christ pfoves that men’s deeds are evil and that they love darkness rather than light. see In God’s.

Boiled Dinner.— A well-seasoned kettle of boiled din ner Is a dish fit to set before the king or queen either. As tnstes vary so in regard to flavors, one. must use Judgnvent in cooking a boiled dinner. One New England housewife, famous for her cooking, never prepared a boiled dinner without slipping in a salt sack of b&jis—the cranberry va riety—to serve with the dinner. They are so well seasoned with tlie; vegeta bles and meat that they . are espe cially tasty. I The kind of maat .one likes with a boiled-dinner will determine the flavor of the whole. Jlost people *ike a nice fat-piece of corn beef together with a, good-sized piece of fresh pork, fat and lean; others prefer salt pork or pigs’ feet with salt pork. At any rate enough meat of whatever kind should be started to cook an hour or two before the vegetables are added; this gives a quantity of broth all' uavored read* to be$n seasoning the vegetables as soon as they are put In. Cabbage, rutabagas, carrots; parsnips, onions and beets cooked by them selves are adc“d to the platter Vdieu serving. Suet Pudding.—Take one cupful of suet, molasses and sour milk, three and one-half -iupfuls of flour, two eggs and one cupful of dried fruit. Add a teaspocliful of soda and splees to taste.

Kept in a cool place the wheat may be served two or three times a week and chil dren, like it once they have eaten-it. This Is the season when steamed puddings and rich sauces are more frequently used. The following Is a simple pudding and easy to prepare : Suet Pudding--Take three repfuls of bread, one' cupful each of scgar and suet, one teaspoonful of' cinnamon, the same of <9oves; one cupful each of raisins and milk. Mix thoroughly, adding a bit of grated orange peel and a little grated nutmeg. Steam three hours. Serve with: .

To meet this new condition the de signer of pretty undergarments must, through subtle adjustment, make nec essary concessions. B'or Instance, the latest idea is to introduce godets of lace into the skirt portions of com bination costume slip and gown.

Arranging scallops In tiers Is an outcome of the trend of the vogue for Eicallops and then more scallops. This lovely model Is of flat" crepe In a fashionable old rose shade.

Washington. — A bloodless rev olution in Spain! Madrid has just witnessed the passing of the military directorate of the last two years. Its replacement by the civilian govern ment, and all with, the calmness and dispatch of an American business con cern recovering from a receivership. “Madrid is, however, a thoroughly modern city, with very little of the traditional flavor of old ■ Spain and with nearly all the luxuries and conveniences of other European and American capitals," says a bul IetIn from' the Washington head quarters of the National Geograph ic society. “With a background of line buildings, wide streets, thp aters, educational and scientific insti tutions, and with autoinobile roads arid railways reaching to every part of the kingdom, it Is easier to understand why Madrid should today follow a moderate course in governmental pro cedure. Subways and Boulevards. “Visitors wlio go by the fast direct trains from Paris to Madrid, and ex pect to see the colorful costumes and striking architecture one usually asso ciates with the life of the country,' are disappointed in Spain’s capital city. Madrid’s streets swarm with motor trucks and pleasure cars. Under ground are two systems of speedy sub ways, connecting the railroad stations and the principal suburbs of the city its boulevards resemble those of Paris and Berlin, with their bordering trees and Imposing hotels, public buildings, shops and monuments. 'In place of the poncho and som brero the visitor will find the tailored suit and straw hat of a hustling busi ness man of the New York stamp. The latest Paris. creations make it difficult to distinguish the Spanish senora and senorita from their Latin sisters in Paris, Rome, Havana and Buenos Aires. The languorous strum ming of the guitar and the dick of the castanets, If they could be found off the stage in Madrid, would today be drowned by the incessant ‘whank, whank’ of its importunate taxis. 'Madrid is the youngest of the great cities of Spain. It owes its pres ent importance to political creation. Until the middle of the Sixteenth cen tury It was an obscure little , village of sun-baked adobe houses, clustering around the former Moorish outpost called MadjriL Philip II, seeking at this time a capital for his newly united Spain, rejected one by one the Ara gonese city of Saragossa,- the Castilian Moorish Cordova and Seville. Madj- rit was in the almost exact geographic center of the kingdom, it had no sec tional ties. so Philip declared it the ‘Unlca Corte,’ or Royal Residence. CastiIianIzing its name to Madrid. “YVith hardly any of the natural ad vantages that contribute to rapid growth. Madrid's early days as a cap ital were as troublous and uncertain as those of our own national capital. Excepting its central location Madrid was denied by nature of almost every suitable condition for a metropolis.. It perches on an elevated steppe in the midst of a vast rolling plateau, bleak and treeless, about a half mile above sea level. Two hundred feet below it winds the Insitnifloant river Man- zanarles, while the surrounding dis tricts are unproductive, except for small quantities of corn. “Another element to be reckoned with In Madrid Is-the climate. Sud den changes of weather often brinz great extremes of temperature within a short time. “The city grew- slowly but steadily, stimulated by royai encouragement and subsidy, and gradually began to take a significant part In the life of Spain outside the realm of govern mental activities. Madrid’s real pros perity and , national importance, how ever, dates from the construction oi Spain’s railroad systems. It is now the greatest railroad center io the country, and would probably figure as a greater International crossroad if the Spanish lines had the same gauges as those of the rest of Europe. Spain’s Largest City. “Wealth, industries, and population have come In the wake of the rail roads. Madrid, with more than 800,- 0 0 0 residents, is the largest city in Spain. .Fine parks have been laid out over barren hills, wide tree-lined streets have pushed Into the suburbs to take care of additional homes and buildings. They have done a great deal to take away the impression of barrenness. 'Some say they have even mitigated the heat of summer. “From the Pnerta del Sol, the Broad way and Forty-second street of Mad rid, ten streets radiate, carrying a network of surface and subway lines to every part of the city. Less than half a mile away Is the ‘Prado,’ a boulevard lined with fine buildings, and from five to eight rows of trees. Along this promenade, which Is one of the ‘show streets’ of the world, is the museum of the same name, containing a collection of art which rivals that of the Louvre. "Madrid also has one of the largest bull rings In the world. Its 'Plaza de Toros,’ modeled after the Roman Co losseum, seats 14.000 people. Bull fighting, however, has fallen from Its high estate In Spain today, and spec tators are, for the most part, the sport ing element and American tourists.” Offers $3,000 Prize for American Symphony New York.—A prize of $3,000 awaits the American composer of an Amtrl- can symphony or symphonic work..

Lawrence Washington had married William Fairfax's daugliter/^The .great man took a fancy to. the boy, just past hlB seventeenth birthday. Finding In him abilities and attainments beyond his years, he engaged - him to survey his vast tracts of land In the Tlfh val ley of the Alieghantes. Washington set out In March, 1748, together with George William Fairfax; and, through Aghley^s Gap In the Blue Rldge mountains, the western frontier of IubaDited Virginia, they passed Into tlc valley.- In the wilderness near the Shenandoah, river, about twelve miles from the present town of Winchester, they stopped at a lodge wheje Lord Fairfax’s land batlUE, or steward, dwelt, wlthi as miny negroes as were neces sary to fwm-tirtr newly cleared land. This first arduous expedition lasted five weeks, with results of such satis faction to Lord Fairfax that he him self moved across the Blue Rldge soon afterward, taking up his quarters at the lodge, He laid out a manor for Ihe place, which he called Greenwaj Court, after his ancestral home In Eng land; but the house was ne.ver built. The master himself slept in a wooden structure about twelve feet square. On the lawn Hear by he built a one-story office, where his deeds were drawn and biscuit rents collected. T^ere the:boy Washington did his work, - The office had been left 1 largely, to the ravages of time and the elements In recent years. Bnt repairs and .res toration are now at hand. . A committee has been formed, of which Graham F. Blandly of New York Is chairman, to collect funds for re- sh Ingl Ing the roof, relaying the floor, enclosing windows and door, replaster: tag the Inside arid repainting-the out side walls. r By next spring, It Is thought, all will be In readiness for •visitors.- . , Pretexts ore , easily found. SEX AS FACTOR IN BEEP PRODUCTION, (Prepared by the United Statea Department of Agriculture.) Half of the beef calves dropped each year are heifers. Out of this number only 25 per cent are needed for re placements In the breeding herds. 'That leaves three-fourths of the heifer calves for the single purpose of beef production. Unfortunately the dis posal of these females has represent ed the most losing proposition with which the ranchman has to deal. Furthermore, be has not had the bene fit of as much experimental work In the feeding' of heifers as with steers. In view of- the need for more Infor mation concerning the feeding of heif ers for beef, a concerted effort is be ing made this year by a number of state experiment stations, co-operating with the United States Department of Agriculture, to conduct investigations which will aid the ranchman and farm er In more profitable disposal of the heifer calves In the 1)eef herd. This Is one of the many problems in beef production tbat are being undertaken, co-operatively by the department and state stations In the recently launched movement for studying the factors which Influence the quality and pala- tabiiity of meat. At the present tlmq light heifers sell fully, as high as steers of similar breed ing, ’ condition, and weight. Heavy heifers are never wanted except at a discount and there have been times In the past when all heifers have been severely discriminated against. ; Pack ers are frequently accused of being re sponsible to a large extent for this discrimination. As near as can be as certained, a part of this discrimina tion Is due to prejudice and a part to actual Inferiority of heavy heifer beef. Heavy heifers frequently carry too much external fat, a great deal of kidney suet, and make carcasses which need considerably more trimming than those of steers of similar weight. Although there is often no discrimi nation against lightweight heifers, and not Infrequently a premium Is paid for them as compared with steers of similnr weight, those In charge of ex perimental work feel that trials should be conducted with all classes of heif ers In comparison with steers. Sheep Husbandry Is Best Adapted to Small Scale Sheep husbandry is well adapted to operations on a small scale and fits In well with a permanent and produc tive plan of farm management, as serts C. G.. Elling, extension animal liusbandryman at- Kansas State Agri cultural college, who keeps tab on the results secured by a great number of Kansas flock owners. A farm flock of 30 to 60 ewes on the average farm In Kansas adds a nice annual Income In practically every section of the state where the management has been adapted to the furm-flock plan. The flock has wide variation In size but should be large enough to justify the attention nec essary for success, experience of Kan sas shepherds has shown. A good plan Is to start In with grade western , ewes, Blling believes. They are usually rugged, good rus tlers, band together well, and make successful mothers. Bi both mutton and wool production they are sus ceptible to rapid Improvement by the use of good rams. .As a rule'western ewe~ are quite free from parasites, but It Is well to suard against and be on the watch for development of scab, grub In the head, and a dam aging number of ticks. These pests may develop and cause losses the first winter. Black Teeth in Little . Pigs Are Not Harmful Many pigs are born with sharp lit-. Ge tusks which are either black, or s won become black. They are shed eventually like any other, animal’s baby teeth. The only harm they do 1« to scratch the faces of their Utter mates In fighting for the .best place to niirse, or sometimes make the teats of the mother sore. Little trouble Is experienced except In -the case of large Utters when, for- a few days while they are finding their proper places at the udder, there Is stiff com petition. In .this case it Is good prac tice to cut them fell with a small pair of nippers. The theory that, black teeth ckuse pigs to do poorly is not well founded, and Is based upon superstition rather than common sense. The teeth , are but a natural part of tlie. pig; Wt If he Is not . doing well, the sheading of them will no doubt be' delayed. Black teeth should, therefore, be. considered the effect of unthriftiness rather than the cause.

The exact figures, 1,037,BBO baptisnu, • DR. CLLIS A. FULLER, Superintendent of Evangelism. 4et a new record not only tor South ern Baptists, but for an-y evangelical body In America, the records reveal. This achievement is equivalent to 24 baptisms for every hour, 676 for every day, 3,990 per week, 17,292 per month and 207,510 per year. ' Prominent in the achievement ot this result has been the Home Mis sion Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, with headquarters In , Atlanta, pa. This board, organized eighty years ago has, within that time, more than a million baptisms and 1,426.386 additions to the churches to show for the labors of its ^missionaries, while the agents of the board have within that period raised and disbursed in mission work In the South, Panama and Cuba the sam of $18,218,336.10. ~ ^ Last 22 Years Productive The larger part of these achiev» ments- of .the Home Board has come during the past 2 2 years, cov ering the secretaryship of Dr. B. D. Gray. •; Under'Dr. Gray's administra tion the workers of Uie board have baptized 662,497 persons, received I,- 122,344 persons into the churcheB and organized 4,997 new churches. Within the same period the agenu ef the board have raised and dis bursed In mission work 'the sum of $14,723,698.87.

Southern Baptists have been far more successful in winning converts and church members than they have been In the general spiritual develop ment of the members, it is pointed out/ In the hope of bringing about a development of the 3,574,531 mem bers of the denomination to the point where all of them will haye a share in supporting all the mission ary, educational and - benevolent work fostered by the denomination, an ■ BveryfMember Canvass will be con ducted In a majority of the 27,000 Baptist churches throughout the South,’ during the late fall and win- tor, the majority of the states em- : ploying the week of Dec. 6-13.

The average weight of a child of four years is forty pounds. Therefore the total caloric requirement would be ap proximately 1,600 calories. Calory Is merely the name for a certain meas ure of heat derived from jthe burning of food ’ Necessarily, the caloric requirement of .the child Is dependent on hlB temperament, since a child who' plays bard and long requires more nourish ment than one who leads a . quieter life. Bate of growth also has a bear ing on . caloric requirements. The child who Is growing rapidly should be given more food to meet his caiorlc needs than the boy or girl whose growth Is normaL Mothers know the dally diet should consist of the essential foodstuffs, pro tein, carboh.vrates, fats, minerals ano water.

ThePittsburgh (Pa.,) judge, oue Drew, tvho set aside a requisition honored bv the governor of Penn sylvania aud refused to allow a negro to be returned to North Caro lina fur trial on an indictment for iolating the liquor laws because there were no negroes on the grand jury that returned the indictment, drew a lot of talk in his direction. But before we denounce'the Pitts burgh judge too freely, it might be well to consider the conditions that brought out the decision. As understood, the case 1 against the negro was of minor importance. He was in more demand as a wit ness than a defendant. He was under a bond of $300 at Winston- Salem to answer for violating the liquor laws But it has been noised abroad that when this negro come to trial he was expected to “spill” lot of information that would in volve others, white folks of busi ness and social standing, probably, in the bootleg business. Thus it was that an old colored man, who who would ordinarily have stopped in jail while be awaited his hearing, found bond provided and safe transport, with expense money, to another part of the country. Or dinarily his return would not have been asked, would not have been considered worth while, for trial for a simple misdemeanor. But what he knew, and was expected to tell, was of importance. H encethe re-i quisition. Gov. Pinchot, of Penn sylvania, honored the request of Gov. McLean. But there and then appeared on’ the scene a North Caro- Krta-^Ia iv y e r - ^ asked the Pittsburgh judge for a writ of habeas corpus This Kirby person told the judge that the dis crimination against the negroes down hare was something awful. Tney are not allowed to sic on juri es,- they have, been disfranchised and deprived of their rights tinder the constitution. Kirby knew the sort of talk that would make at. impression in that part of the coun try; Whereupon his honer, while Kirby snickered in his sleeye, re fused to allow the old negro to be returned to be illegally deprived of his liberty and happiness, if not his life. The Pittsburgh judge's talk, aud his reasoning, are a trifle irritating, but he might not, probably would not, have figured in the transaction or heard anything about our local laws if some folks in Winston Sal em had not had an overwhelming desire to keep out of the limeljght. —Statesville Daily. May Meet in Greensboro. The next Republican state con vention which will meet in March or April will be invited to hold its sessions in Greensboro instead of Raleigh. It is stated that many of the Republican leaders favor this move and Greensboro has also put out the word that they would be glad to have the representatives of the grand old party hold their ,con vention in that city. The convention met in-Greens boro in 1920 when Judge John J. Parker was nominated for gover nor. The last convention was held in Raleigh. The convention will have little to do this year as no state ticket is to be named Acandidate for chief justice and three other.members of the supreme court are however to be named at this convention. A national committeeman is also to be selected to take the place of Judge Parker, regigned. So far there are only two active candidat es for this place there, A. A. White- ner, of Hickorv, and Solicitor Johnson J Hayes, of Wilkesboco. Both of these gentlemen have a strong following, and the contest for tuis place will be’ spirited, but whatever one is the victor the other will accept the mandate of the con- vention in a graceful mauner and bow to the will of. the majority of his fellow Republicans. The Democratic press, some 'of them, and spare writers who are writing to fill up their papers - are having a busy time, selecting a Re publican candidate for governor in 1928 but, this is not botbing the B ^piibrfeins:They will cross this bridge when they get- to it. If it affords any pleasure to the editors and space writers to be. writing their prophesies, imagination and dreams, let them go to it. We have no objections.—Ex.' Will Build Many Roads in 1926 The State highway commission it. is reported has set out to build 200 miles of concrete and 500 miles of soil roads in 1926 on an allotment of $12 000,000. ! Thisdoesnotincludethe projects Which will be taken over from coun ty funds. The State has quite a few hundreds of such roads to build. The amounts spent may reach the grand total of $20.000.000., The highway figures are not complete on that estimate. The commission made a very suc cessful year with oil which was used on various stretches scattered over the State. The oil, which looks ex actly like a hard surface of black concrete or other hard,construction, has been used on the secondary roads.

This prosperity is pretty generally diffused, more so than in any other period of the world's history, perhaps. The aver age man has more irtoney than be ever had before and he knows more about business than he ever knew before. He is bent upon getting a home first. Next comes the car, And from that point on comes as many of the luxuries as can be ob tained from the’available income. ; There is another realm in which the average man is taking an inter est which before he never explored. That is the realm, of investments. The average man is either an actual or a potential investor. He sees that by I making wise investmets he can increase-his income. Bankers real estate brokers, buijding and loan managers, legitimate stock brokers, if they are wise and havfe the spirit of Helpfulness, can be. of distinct service to the average man He needs their advice. This advice should be giyen in a way that is comprehendible . Many financial and business houses have not yet found out how to deal wLh Mr. Average Man. They talk in a language that only; the trained financier understands. The estim able gentleman is intelligent and willing to learn. He has abandoned much of bis' former suspicion of business and finance and wants to get into the game himself.

Virginia, This number is 17 less than dur ing the year 1923, and 41 less than during the year 1922. Two of the victims ,were insane, the report shows, while the third had been released by the courts. Ten of-the-persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, the report says, two being taken from jails and eight from officers of the law outside the jails. Two of those lynched were burned at the stake while one was - put to death and the body burned. \ Profit in Poultry.

It may be'-, hard to get mail in, and-we know it is hard to get money out for we have been tryiug it. A gentleman remarked to us a few days ago that Mocksville was outjof the United States. He must have read about what the school tegcher said about the late Presi dent ,Wilson Every man should trv to pay his honest debts and start the new year square with the world. No use to make debts that you never expect to pay, lest the devil call ou you to settle up when you shake off this vale of tears. ’ Mocksville had a live Chamber of Commerce two years ago. We would like to know what has be come of this organization. If there ever was a time in our history when such an- organization was needed that time is right now. Talk about throwing monkey .iwrencl.es into delicate machinery, but some of our Democratic friends -have suggested Al Smith for presi dent and Josephus Daniel- for vice- president. Now if anybody is able to speak let them say something quick: When the editor chases a pro minent citizen tor three months atad fails to collect a dollar it is a sign that the editor is a sorry col lector or the prominent citizen hasn't got a dollar or if so, doesn’t believe in turning it loose. : If you ‘want to help build up Mocksvillewe know of no better way than purchasing stock in the building and loan association. Everv dollar invested in this asso ciation. Every dollar invested in this association is spent <n building up ,the town. . Theie is no oetttr investment I Highway Force In Mocksville. Capt. J. A. Nichols, with a crew of highway surveyors., ^arrived in Mocksville last week and have be gun a survey of route 75, Mocks ville ' to Statesville. The preseut route will be measured and survey ed first, which will be followed by other sntveys. It will take about six wedks to fin:sh this' work. There are five men in this crew. There are several different routes from this city to Statesyille which have been discussed. The nearest route between these two towns would be via Jericho. Davie Aca demy, Ketchie’s nulls and the old Campbell bridge, thence by Pitts burg in Rowan county, coming in to the Statesville and Cool Spring road about six miles east of States ville, This route is onlj? about 22 miles long while the present route via Calahaln and Coun’ty Line is 27 miles long. No one knows which route will be selected when it comes to building the new road. Letter From Oklahoma. ' Editor Davie Record:i—I am en closing my check for $2, renewal for two years to Jan. 1, 1928.

H O W D E N S M I T H COPqnlQHT BQ ARTHOR t>. HOTDDEn SMITH D lJ Oltn SERVICE Howden Smith is addicted in his quieter moods to costume novels, and when one appears it is a literary event of no mean importance; but when he gets excited and lets himself go, the result is su.re to be some-- thing extraordinary, as when he writes a pirate story or one of Jthose stirring yarns about the early settlement of New York and Canada. And such a pirate story as “Porto Bello Gold!” It takes up a number of Robert Louis Stevenson's “Treasure Island" characters at points' in their. careers before Stevenson became acquainted with them. It was inspired by the constantly reiterated expressions of friends, wondering “why\ someone doesn’t write a pirate story that will tell us how the treasure came to be buried on the island.” With the exception of this use of a few of the characters made famous by “R. L. S.” and a few Incidents which Stevenson noted merely incidentally as episodes of the past, the story is entirely Howden Smith’s own. In a truly remarkable manner he has succeeded in recreating the color of the Eighteenth century and the atmosphere of Stevenson’s masterpiece. The consensus of critical opin. Ion is that “Porto Bello Gold" is'a fit companion to “Treasure Island.” CHAPTER I My Father’s Secret. I was in the counting room, talking with Peter Corlaer, the chief of our fur traders—lie was that very day come down river from the Iroquois country—when the boy, Darby, ran in from tlie street. “The Bristol packet Is in, Master Robert,” he cried. “And, oh, sir, the watermen do say there be' a pirate Bhip off the Hook!” I remember I laughed at the com* bination of awe and delight In Iiis face. He was a raw, bog-trotting bit of a gossoon we had bought at the last landing of bonded folk, and he talked with a brogue that thickened whenever he grew excited. "For the packet, I do not doubt yon, Darby,” I answered. “But you must show me the pirate.” Peter Corlaer chuckled In his quiet, rumbling way, his huge belly waggling before him beneath his buckskin hunt ing shirt, for all the world like a mon- ster mold of jelly. “Ja, ja, show us aer pirates,” he jeered. 1 Darby flared up in a burst of Irish temper that matched his tangled red hair. “I would I were a pirate and had you at my mercy, you butter tub,” he raged. ‘TH warrant you’d tread the plank!” “Darby,” said I, “have you done the errands my father set you?” “Every one,” answered he. “Very well. Then get you into the storeroom and sort over the pelts Pe ter fetched in.” He flung off with a scowl as I turned to Peter. “My father will. wish to know the packet' arrived,” I said. “Wall you go with me to the governor’s? The council must be on the point of break- / ing up, for they have been sitting since noon.” • Peter heaved his enormous body erect And I marveled, as always after a period of absence, at his pro portions. To one who did not know him he seemed a butter tub of a man, as Darby had called him—a mass if tallow, fat limbs, a pork barrel Ot a trunk, a fat slab of a face upon which showed tiny, insignificant features gro; tesquely at variance with the rest of his bulk. His little eyes peered inno- -cently between rolls of fat which alf but masked them. His nose was a miniature dab,- above a mouth a child might have owned. But under bis layers of blubber were concealed muscles of forged' steel, and he was capable of the agil ity of a catamount. The man had not lived on the frontier who could face him barehanded and escape. "Ja,” he said simply. “We go.” He stood his musket in a comer and slipped off powder horn and shot pouch the while I donned hat and greatcoat, ‘for the air was still chUly and there was a scum of snow on the ground. We passed out into Pearl street and walked westward to Hano ver square, and there on the farther • side of the square I spied my father, with Governor Clinton and Lieutenant Uovernor Colden. And it made my heart warm to see how these and several other gentle men hung upon his words. There had been those who slandered him during' the uproar over the ’45, for he was known to have; been a Jacobite In his youth; but his friends were niore powerful than his enemies, and I Joy to think that he was not the least influential of those of our lead ers who held New Xork loyal topping -George when many were for casting In our fortunes with the Pretender. He saw Peter and me as we ap proached and waved up to him, but at the same moment there was a slight disturbance on the eastward side of the square, and another little group of men came into view sur rounding a grizzled, ruddy-cheeked old fellow, whose salt-stained blue coat spoke as eloquently of the sea as did his rolling gait. I could hear his hoa.-se, roaring voice clear across ithe square— “—ran him tops'ls down; ----- my •eyes, I did; and ,when I get to port what do I find, but not a king’s ship Jvithin—” JIy father Interrupted him: “What’s this, Captain. Farra day? Do you speak of being chased? I had thought we were at peace with the world.” — Captain Farraday discarded the lis teners who had attended him so far and stumped across the square, bel lowing his answer In tones which brought shopkeepers to*- their doors and women’s heads from upper win dows. “Chased? That I was, Master Or- merod, by a s , scoundrelly a pirate as flouts the king’s majesty I’'the— Here he perceived who accompanied my father. Off came his hat, and he made an awkward bow.' “Tour sarvent, your excellency! My duty, Master Colden i' But I have no words to withdraw, for all I did not see who was near by to hear me. Aye, there is more to be said, much more; and matters have come to a pretty pass when the rascals, come north to these ports." Peter Corlaer and I joined the little group of merchants who were with the governor, and the other curious per sons hovered as close as they dared. “But I find this hard to give cre dence to, captain,” said Governor Clin ton pleasantly enough. “Pirates? In these latitudes? We have not been bothered by such of late. Did you have sight of the ship which pursued you?" “Sight? Marry, that I did; and un comfortable close, your excellency. She came up with a so’easter. two days past, and at tlie first I made her out for a frigate by t&e top hamper she carried.” “A -frigate?” protested Master Col den. “So big as that?” “Aye, sir, my master! And if I have any eye for a ship’s lines and canvas she was none other than the Royal James that chased me three days together when I was home bound from the West Indies in ’43.” “That would be the vessel of the. fellow known usually as Captain Bip- Rap,” spoke up my father, and there was a quality in his voice which led me to regard him closely. It was manifest that he labored in the grip of some strong amotion ; but the only indication of th^s in his face was a slight rigidity of feature, and none of the others marked it I was the more amazed because my father was a man of iron nerves, and also, though bis earlier years had been starred with a series of extraordinary adventures, so far as I knew he had had nothing to do with the sea. “True for you. Master Ormerod,” answered Captain Farraday; “and since Henry Morgan died there hath not lived a more complete rogue. ■ One of my mates was taken by him off Tdamaica ten years gone and cites him for a man'of exquisite dress and man ners that would befit a London maca roni God save us! And, moreover, is as arrant a Jacobite as ever was. Witness the name of his ship.” “I have heard he sails usually In company," remarked my father. “He worts with John Flint, who is no less of a rascal, albeit rougher,' according to those unfortunates who have fallen In his path Flint sails in the Walrus, a tall 'ship out of Plym outh that was on the Smyrna run be fore she fell into his hands. Betwixt them they are a pretty pair.” .. Captain Farraday stopped perforce for breath, and Governor Clinton seized the opportunity to ask with a smile: “Captain Rip-Rap, did you call your pursue!1? What manner of name is this?" : j The merchantman shrugged his shoulders. . “Nobody' knows, sir. But ’tis the only name he goes by. I ha’ heard that years past—oh, It may be twenty or more—he stopped a home-bound Chesapeake packet, and when the master was haled aboard the first question^ he. asked was ‘did he have any rip-rap in his cargo ?" For it seems he Is singularly partial to that mixture of stuff. And now, I ha’ been told, his own.men give him this name, for even they do not know for certain that to which he was -born. “ ’Tis said he, was a.gentleman who suffered for his political convictions, but that is as like to be-a lie’as the truth.- AU'I know is that hie chased me In past the Hook, though the Anne showed him a clean pair o’ heels and had run him tops’ls down wi’ sunrise this morning. And when I made the harbor, ’twas to find there was not a king’s^ship to send after him.”- “Yes,", nodded the governor; “the* Thetis frigate sailed 'for home with dispatches a week ago. But I will send express to Boston, where Com modore Burrage lies, and bid him' to get to sea without loss of time. Doubt not, our goodVcommodore will Hiake them rue the day.” And with Lieutenant Governor Col den and the rest he made to move off. Only my father lingered. ' “You have letters for me, Captain Farraday T he asked. "Aye, indeed, sir—from Master Al len, your agent in London. I was on my way to deliver ’em. And a goodly store of strouds, axes, knives, beads, tools, flints and other trade goods to your account.” “I will accept the letters at your bands, and even save you the trip to Pearl street, captain," replied my fa ther. "My son, Robert, here, will visit you aboard ship in the morning and take measures to arrange for transshipping your cargo.” “I ha’ no quarrel with such terms,” rejoined Captain Farraday, fishing a silken-wrapped packet from his coat tail pocket. “Here yon are. Master,. Ormerod. And 1*11 be off to the George tavern for a bite of shore food and a mug of mulled file.” My father fidgeted the packet in his hands for a moment. “You are certain ’twas Captain Rip- Rap who chased you?” lie asked then. “I’d swear to his foretops’ls,” an swered Farraday confidently. “As I said afore, he chased me once in '43, and Jenkins he took off Jamaica in the ship Cynthia out o’ Southamp ton, when Flint was for drowning tlie lot o’ them; but* Rip-Bap, In his cold way, says there was no point to slay ing without purpose, and they turned 7 “I Made Her Out for a Frigate.” 'em loose in the longboat. And there’s none left ‘on the Account’ that-sail In a great ship At to be a king’s frig ate, save it be Rlp-Rap-^Flint’s Wal rus is a tall ship and heavy armed, but hath not the sail spread o' the Royal James. Jenkins says she was a Frenchman, and ’tis to be admitted she hath the fine-run lines the French- ies build.” • ' I My father was hard put to it to make head against this flow of talk, but at last he' succeeded. ■ “It was my■ understanding,” he said, “that Captain ‘ Rip-Rap disappeared from the West Indies during the, late war. • I give yon thanks, captain. Pray call upon me at your leisure, and if I can be of any service to you I am at your eommand.” Captain Farraday stumped off to ward the George, a tail of the curious at his heels, and I grinned to myself at thought of the strong drink they would offer him in return for his tale. There was no chance of his being sober in side of twenty-four hours. My father nodded absently to Peter, who had stood throughout the entire conversation, his flat face sleepily im perturbable. “I -like it not,” he muttered, as if to himself. Peter gave him a quick look but said nothing. “is there anything wrong, father?” I asked. He frowned at. me, then stared off at the housetop^ In a way he had, al most as if he sought to peer beyond the future." “No—yes—I do not know.” He broke off abruptly. f “Pgter, I am glad you are here,” he added, “Ja,” said Peter vacantly. \ “You have not looked at your let ters yet,” I reminded him. “I have no occasion to,” he retorted. “There is that which—but the street ;is no place for sueh conversation. Come home, my boy; come home.” Darby McGraw met us at the door, and from his wild gaze I knew him to be half expecting to see the pirates' hot-foot at our heels. “Have you performed your tasks, Darby?” questioned my father. “Yes, master.” “Be off with you, then. I wish not to be disturbed.” “See can you find us late news of the pirates, Darby,” I added as he slipped by. He answered me with a merry scowl, but my father spun on his heel. “What mean you by that, Robert?” says he. I was nonplussed. “Why, naught, sir. Darby is daft on pirates. He—” Peter Corlaer shut the room-door upon the Irish boy and came toward us, moving with the swift stealth that was one of his most astonishing char acteristics. “Ja, he does not know," he said, "What?” challenged my father, “What you andt I know," returned the Dutchman calmly. “So you know, too, Peter?” "Ja.” I could restrain my impatience no longer. ' “What is this mystery?” I demand ed. “I thought I knew all tlie .secrets of the • business; but sure, father, I never thought to hear that we were concerned as a firm with pirates!” “We are not,”, my father answered cnrtiy. “This is a matter of which you know nothing, Robert, because until now there has been no occasion for you to know of it.” He hesitated. , “Peter,” he went on, “must we tell the boy?” “He is not a boy; he is a man,” said Peter. I flashed my gratitude to the fat Dutchman in a smile, but he paid no attention. My father, too, seemed to forget me. He strode up and down the counting room, hands under the skirts of his coat, head bowed in thought. Tags of phrases escaped his lips: “I had thought him dead—strange if lie bobs up again—here is a prob lem I had never thought to face— mayhap I exaggerate—it cannot have significance for us—Certes, is must be accident—” ‘‘Neen, he comes for a purpose,” in terrupted Peter. My father stayed his walk in front of Peter by the fireplace, wherein blazed a heap of elm logs. “Who do you fancy this Captain Rip-Rap to be, Peter? Speak up! You were right when you said Robert is no longer a boy. If there is danger here, he deserves to know of It.” "He is Murray,” replied Corlaer, his squeaking voice an incongruous con trast with his immnse bulk. “Andrew Murray!” mused my fa ther. “Aye, ’twould be he. I have suspected it all these years—held it for certainty;' But I made sure when he failed to show himself after the last war that Providence had attended to him. It seems I was wrong.” • "Whoever he is, this pirate can do no harm to us in New York,” I made bold to say. “B e'not too sure, Robert," adjured my father.- “He happens.to be your great-uncle.” He reached up to the rack over the fireplace and selected a long clay pipe, which he stuffed with tobacco the while I was recovering from my astonishment. “Your uncle?” I .gasped then. “No; your mother’s." “But he was the great trader who conducted the contraband trade with Canada!” I cried. “I have heard of him. . ’Twas he established the Doom trail to enable him to supply the French fur traders with goods to Genius Not Overcome by Distasteful Toil “You can take your choice—go back to Cheshire tomorrow or go to work in the clock factopr.” These were the alternatives offered to young Bronsou Alcott by his father. Alcott,. who was to become the father of Louisa May Alcott, had returned from the home of his uncle, where he had been sent to go to school. Honore Wiilsie Morrow, writing in McCall’s, has told of the early life of this neg lected man of letters, He relates.: “I’ll "go to ,the clock factory ,’’ said Bronson quickly. And so it was de cided. ' . _ ' ■ “The sort of work required of him made no., demands o^his brain, and by carrying one of his precious bor rowed books, always Withi him, he did not stagnate, though at tie time tie thought he did and was terribly un happy. Yet, rather than go back to Cheshire, he clung to the factory work for nearly two years. Els mother, watching him start off each morning along the lonely and precipitous, path way that led the two miles from the’ farm to the, factory, yearned over him' wondered at his gentle, obstinacy, wor ried over him but never,* .evidently, lost .her faith- or understanding.” Old, y w UKgKJia of London London was founded, according to an old legend, by BrufSs, grandson of Aeneas, who led to England a band of refngeea-from Troy after Its 'cap.: ture by the Greeks and called tbe set tlement New Trfif.

Yon have told me of him yourself, as hath Master Colden. ’Twas he whom you and Corlaer and the Iroquois fought when you • broke- down the barriers of the Doom trail and won back the fur trade to our people. Why, ’twas then you-r-you—” I knew the deep feeling my father still had for my long-dead mother, and I scrupled to stir his memories; He himself took the words frord my lips. “Yes, ’twas then Icam eta love your mother,. She—she was not such as you would expect to find allied by any ties with so great a' scoundrel. But she was his niece—past doubt, Robert. She was a Kerr of Fernieside; her mother had been Murray’s sister. Kerr and Murray were out together in the ’15; Kerr fell at Sheriffinuir. His widow died'not long afterward, and Murray took poor waif Marjory. “He did well by her—there’s no de nying that But he always intended to use her to further his own designs. He had a cold eye for the future, with, no thought except of his own advan tage, and if I— But there’s no need to go into that. You know, Robert, how Corlaer and the Seneca chief, Tawannears—he who is now the Guardian of the Western Door of the Long House—and I were able to smash the vast power Murray, had built up on the frontier. » “We smashed him so utterly, dis crediting him too, withal, that he was obliged to % the province; and even his friend^ tlie French, would have none of him—at least, aboveboard. I have always fanned he still served their interests at large; for he is at bottom a most fanatical Jacobite, and eke sincere in a queer, twisted way. Aye, there is that about him which is difficult to understand, Robert. Himself, he hath no hesitation in be lieving he . serves high purposes of state in all he does.” “Only a madman could lay claim to serving the state as a pirate,” I ob jected. “You speak with overconfidence,” rebuked my father “There are men alive today who can remember when Morgan and Davis and Dampier and many another brave fellow of the .same kidney lived by piracy and served the king at one and the same time. Some of ’em were hung in the end, and Morgan died a knight It can be done.” “How?” Consider, my boy!, Murray—your great-uncle, mind you!—is a Jacobite. For our present government he hath only hatred and contempt Any means by which that government was under mined would seem to him justifiable as aiding to bring about its downfall. Look to the fantastic humor of the man in naming his sfflj> the Royal James!” “If he be, indeed, the man you think he is,” I returned, none too well pleased with the thought of having a pirate for a great-uncle. My father- laughed kindly and tapped me on the knee with his free hand. "I know how you feel, dear lad,” he said. “ ’Twas so identically your mother talked. Bless her heart! We were fresh married when the precious rascal sent us by one of his *tarry- breeks that necklace which lies now in my strong box—the loot of some Indian queen mayhrfp. . In his way he cared for her, and be to^k- much. In terest in all she did. By hook or crook he had word of us, however far he, wandered. He knew when you were born. He knew when she died.

(. “But we are'not at sea,’’ I protested “We are In New York. There are soldiers in Fort George. Commodore Burrage wili be down from Boston anon. What can a' pirate ship, what can two- pirate ships, effect against us? Why, the city train bands—” “ ’Tis hot force I dread,” my father Cut me off. “ ’Tis the infernal clever ness of a warped mind.” “Ja,” agreed Peter. My father thrust the stem of his pipe toward him. “You feel it, too, old friend?” he cried then. “If Murray is here means no goodt,” the Dutchman answered pon derously. “No pirates come nort’ in der coldt ,-weather • for just fun.

Company . officials said there might be two, although only 38 men are definitely known to have been in the workings. Virtually, no hope had been held for the rescue of ’any of the men. Word that all of the miners had not perished came when a rescue crew that had ventured' far back from the elevator shaft dis^pvered the men brattieed in a, niche which had pro tected them from the deadly .fumes that rolled through the mine follow ing the blast. Rescuers at the top of the shaft dropped tolls and embraced the saved ones as they stepped from the elevator: The' men were in fairly good physi cal condition but were rushed to first aid stations at the mine's mouth and later to hospitals.

YOUNG P E O P L E A N D A D U L T T O P IC — E o w J e su s D eals W ith -Sinners. I. Jesus Must Needs Go Through Samaria (w. 4-6). The growing popularity of Jesus aroused the envious opposition of the Pharisees, which obliged Him to leave Judea and go into Samaria--There was another way to reach Galilee, one used by many Jews to avoid contact with' Uie despised Samaritans, on the east ern side of the Jordan. He must “needs go through Samaria” In order to find this poor sinful worn an and the needy citizens of Sychar. The great necessity which was upon Him was, to seek and to save that which was lost CLuke lO .-26). II. Jesus’ Testimony to the Woman (w. 7-26). ^ This is a fine example of personal evangelism. 1. A Favor Asked (vv. TiO). Jesus tactfully made a request which appealed to the Woman’s sympathy. Not only did the thirst of the iveary trav eler appeal'to her, but the fact that He being a Jew asked a favor of her, showed His sympathy for her. In In troducing the conversation, He re ferred to that which was uppermost In her mind, namely, water. This was the tdacher’s point of contact. He soon passed from earthly water to the wa ter of everlasting life which was in Himself Every human mind has a handle. Our success ’ as Christian workers depends upon our ability to grasp and use it 2. Jesus’ Tender Dealing With This Woman (vv. 10-15). He first appealed to her curiosity by declaring, “If thou knewest the gift .of God” (v. 10). He knew the deep unrest of the soul of the sin ful woman as she went on her way. He knew if she really knew Him she , would believe on Him and be saved from her sins, therefore the first thing .was to get attention. When'we can get one to give attention to the claims of Christ, there Is good, chance of winning him. He followed thjs ap peal to her curiosity by a promise which directed her attention to her deepest needs. There Is a conscious ness of deep need in every soul. The deepest need of a soul Jesus only can satisfy. 3. The Woman Convicted of Her Sins (vv. 15-19). Jesus succeeded In arousing her in terest; but she did not really under stand Him. Before she could under stand what the Water of Life is, she must be^convicted of her sin. She did not agree with. Him, but became a humble inqulr,er. The soul must be convicted of sin before it can be con verted. 4. The Problem of Worship Submit ted to Christ (w. 20-24)-. This she did as soon as she perceived Him to be a prophet Jesus knowing the inner life of this woman, told her of the glad time even then present when true worshipers could hold intercourse with God anywhere. He showed her that the place of worship is unimportant, that the all-important thing is to have the true conception of God as brought through the Jews. Since worsfiip is spiritual, only those who have been regenerated can worship God In spirit. 5. The Woman of Samaria Witness ing for Christ (vv. 27-39). , The woman left her water pot and re- ttiming to the city said, “Come, see a man which told me all things that ever I did- Is not this the Christ?” As soon as she was converted she became an enthusiastic missionary. This is as it ought to be and always will be. The soul, that realizes Jesus cannot be silent (John I .-4-1-45). The result of her testimony was that many believed on Jesus. III. Jesus Testifying to the Citizens of Sychar (w. 40,' 41). The woman’s testimony brought the request from the Samaritans that Jesus'tarry (vith them. He abode with them two days. ’ Though they heard the woman’s testimony, they believed because of Christ’s own word (v.'41). IV. The Samaritans Witnessing for Christ (v. 42). . They declared, “We know that this Is Indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.” They confessed to the wom an that their belief was not due to her testimony but to having heard Him themselves, that they were sure that He was the Messiah.'

Caldwell,, of Mon- tlcello, 111, a practicing physician for 47 years, knew that constipation was the curse of advancing age, he did not believe that a “purge”, or “physic” every little while was necessary... To him, it seemed cruel that so ■many constipated old people had to be. kept constantly "stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tab lets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrnp' Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to “regulafe” . the bowels of old folks. Dr, Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin not only ranges a gentle, easy bowel movement but each dose helps to strengthen the bowel muscles, shortly establishing natural “regularity.” It never gripes, sickens, or upsets the system. Be sides, it is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take. — • If past- fifty, buy a large- 60-cent bottle at any store that sells medicine and just see for yourself.- Dr. Caldwell's SYRUP PEPSIN -!: ; .f v-li I-i I ' I if ■ I ' ' ,J W d <tA^ v Ivjlli ’ MJf Ih "*1 * w A 1'/ , J f PNSe- ,H;■*. , ' i**. ^ M W — r , ^ * - . j f i - T ^ - J I g C1 ; i Xi -Sf ;-r S | , ^ - > ^ s' '*?1 fctfS ^ v5*?

Chairman Norris, of the senate agri culture committee, who for five years has prevented almost single-handed a final vote on the discussion of disposi tion of Muscle Shoals informed the committee that he would waive ob structionary ’ tactics and urge action at this session. At the same time Senator Under wood, democrat, California, who Has led the forces to Senator Norris's gov ernment operation measures said "un doubtedly the Muscle Shoals question will be settled at this session.” “For five years I have been trying to give the people of the -. south ,the cheapest • power in the world but if they don’t want it, I will not try to force it down their throats," Senator Norris declared. The statement came in reply to spokesmen for a delegation from Ten nessee which appeared before the committee to oppose the Norris reso lution which would prohibit the fed eral power commission from issuing power permits on Tennessee river and its tributaries until a Muscle Shoals policy had been adopted. The committee was told that Ten- nesssee was “tired of waiting on Mus cle Shoals” and that industrial devel opment of that section would be held back for years before Congress agreed on Muscle Shoals. “If . I thought the Muscle Shoals question would not be disposed of at this session, I would withdraw the resolution,” Senator Norris • asserted. Virginian Tells of I-Iold Up.

LITTLE HOPE LEFT FOR RESCUE OF WORKMEN TRAPPED IN MINE. - 'Wilburton, Okla.—An explosion, in the Degnan-McConnell coal mine, near here, probably cost the lives of more than 90 men. Little hope was held that any of the 90 miners still in the working could be reached alive. Seventjr-Ave men compose the res cue crews, but only four may ' work at a' time because of the narrow shaft. The work of clearing the tunnel t’o the remaining men will require be tween three and four days, it is be- leived. The digging will continue until all of the bodies are recovered. Fire, which broke out in the work ings’ made rescue work hazardous, while damp and falling rocks contrib uted to the difficulties. One hundred and one men, 25 white and 76 negroes, were in the mine'when the explosion occurred. Eleven negroes have come out alive. ■ - The rescue told of walking over bodies of dead miners as they prog ressed from a small pocket under the main shaft to the man-way. John Evans, white boss, A. D. Thom as, a mining engineer of Hartshome, and two of his assistants were in the mine and have not been accounted for. AU other mines In the 1 Wilburton field closed down soon after the ex plosion and their crews were rushed to the scene to aid in the rescue work. Thh wrecked mine was operated on a non-union basis, as are most of the properties in this area. 1 Trained rescue'crews from Krebes, McAlaster, Hartshorne and Halley- ville tendered their assistance. The Wilburton chapter of the American Red Cross served coffee and dough nuts from a hastily erected canteen. Hysterical relatives of the entomb ed men congregated about the en trance of the mine and remained there throughout the day. Soon roada were chocked for miles by sightseers. Sheriff Parks roped off the shaft of the mine and none but persons engaged in rescue work were allowed to approach it. Doctors and nurses with medical equipment were summoned from all nearby towns and a special train was brought here from McAlaster to rush the injured to hospitals. Will Execute Two With Lethal Gas.

Efficiency and economy go hand and hand In thp home a" -veil as In the business world. The emergency pantry, latest in novation In the cuisine of the modern house wife is particular Iy indicative of the truth of this statement. - This new sort of pantry—it may just be a shelf In the regular larder —does away with , that bugaboo of Meta H. Given, the home maker, the- surprise guest Every woman has had the, experience of welcoming an unexpected visitor when supplies were at low ebb and has searched high and low to find something presentable to put on the table. The. emergency shelf in the pantry does away with such worries In short order. A can opener and—presto—a veri table banquet can be prepared In a few minutes. The housewife may have Iier choice of many excellent meats, corn, tomatoes, mushrooms. If she is short of milk or cream, a can of evaporated milk, which is simply fresh cow’s milk sterilized’ in the can and with sixty per cent of the water removed will do the tricit..In fact she may have two hundred or more savory dishes ready to her hand. When the surprise guest does ar rive the hostess naturally wishes to be hospitable. She doesn’t want to be tied to the kitchen rupee half the after noon. She wants to entertain as she has been entertained. It isn't possible If she uas to phone frantically for the butcher, the grocer and the baker. But that’s^ only one Of the places where the emergency pantry comes In. Backed by a well-stocked emer gency shelf, the wife can get together a splendid luncheon or dinner In a jiffy. The spontaneous ; wisli that comes at'the last moment to Informal ly invite a few friends for lunch can be gratified at once with; the aid of the new pantry. Afternoon' tea for the bridge club is an equally easy matter.- A glass of preserves or jelly, a platter of bread and butter, tea, and a dish of cookies will, meet ,the ordinary demands of the casual caller and a can of evap orated milk will answer the milk or cream need. ) Be a Milk Tippler, Says Dr. Schireson By MABIE K. JOHNSON j As ar. educational subject for chil dren. health should hold equal rank with the. three “R’s” in the cur riculum of pub lic schools. Doc tors declare that w ith o u t a healthy, sturdy body It is impos sible' for the child to have a healthy, happy mind.

I - ’ High school students especially j need a variety in foods for' at this ! ; age their growth is rapid. The pro-' IteIn or “ building, food” should b^ abundant for high school boys and girls. When they buy their luncheons, high school pupils are apt to display a preference for chocolate sodas, cream puffs and candy. An appetizing luncheon put up at home is much to be preferred to the sort the boy or girl might obtain at the corner store !near the school. [ Meat Is all right for the school i luncheon but it should be put up In tempting form. If sliced thin it is more appetizing in sandwiches than if In thick, pieces. Beverages or soup may be carried In thermos bottles but the bottles must be carefully washed and aired daily after using. Milk Is recommended for an impor- I tant place in the boy’s or girl’s diet be cause of its proteins, minerals, phos phorus and calcium, necessary for the 'development of the body and In .-the casi of calcium and phosphorus Ifor 'the building of bone and teetb. Evap- Jirgted milk Kas- come into favor as a .health builder for children as well las adults because by removal of 60 • per cent of the water it is rendered I more than twice as rich In food value : as ordinary milk and by a process ,called homogenizing' more digestible than bottled market, milk. - , Crisp lettuce and celery, carefully washed and dried, may be so wrapped In oili-paper that they will be. fresh and in good condition at lunch time. Lettuce should not be used in sand wiches for wilted lettuce Is almost Iik- ^dlgestibIe. Peaches and cream complexions of American women have their founda tion In a milk diet, according to Dr. ) Henry J. Schireson, faibous Chicago derma tologist and fa cial plastic sur geon.' Doctor Schire son , has won fame1 by beauti fying! motion pic ture, ‘ m u s ic a l c o m e d y a n d vaudeville stars Dr. Schireson. and many society women of America. He ,transformed Fanny Brice’s nose, rejuvenated Eva Tanguay’s face, removed sixty-four pounds of adipose tissue from Truly Shattuck In one operation, straight ened the cross eyes, of the leading lady of Singer’s midgets, and has per formed other corrections! for making people young and beautiful. • Doctor Schireson has due infallible prescription for the attainment of beauty. It is: “One quart of milk a day, one hour of sunshine, and re peat ad libitum.” "Beauty specialists and cosmetic makers,’’ says Doctor Schireson, “would be driven out of. business in a few weeks 'if all the women of America would drink their quart of milk a day. “Babies and .children haVe com plexions of angels for the reason that they are fed Ittrgely bn milk. Milk nsed externally or Internally is a beautifier. Anna Held, I believe, was the first actress who adopted the milk bath. While this was a novelty at the time, and her press agent un doubtedly made the most of it, the principle In Itself was Sound. But a beauty secret of even more value Is the. dally quart of milk taken as a part of the diet. “The milk-fed girl is easily dis tinguished by the velvety texture and the healthy color of her skin. Tirnv is a wonderful body builder, because it contains every structural element. It is, In a way,- an elixir1 of life. “Authorities agree that’ milk is the most nearly perfect food,!;but It Is an extremely delicate one as well. Heat sufficient to kill .all bacteria is the essential of absolutely,) pure and sterile milk. One of. the1 advantages of evaporated , milk, which , is simply fresh cow’s milk with sixty per cent of the water, removed, is that It is entirely sterile and is more easily as similated than ordinary market milk. “Milk is mentioned forty-seven times in the Bible. The Promised-Land of the Israelites was said to flow 1With milk and honey’ - and Ovid graded mljk as second only to nectar, the drink of ,the gods.” The Record has some attractive little gifts that are going to be given ab solutely free to all those who subscribe for The Record for one year or more.

As we all three emerged, Mistress O’Donnell darted up to her father and caught at the lapels of his coat. “Ah, padre,” she cried In a brogue that ciotted and slurred her words, “you’ll not be holding It against me because I wearied of the ship and would feel the earth crumbling under foot, and me so lonely for lack of you ! was near to weeping the while I sat In my cabin with naught to do but rend my Hours!” He wilted, as must-any man have done, flinging his arm around her with a gesture' that verged on the the atrical. “Tush, tush, Moira,” he rebuked her gently; “ ’twas unbecoming in you, and in Spanish lauds such conduct would lead to trouble. See that you do it not a second time. I will give you in charge of Juan; and, having had your taste of freedom, you must return aboard, for I have91 matters yet requiring my attention. Ah, yes, and yon must thank this gentleman prop erly for his gallantry. Master Orme rod, my dear! His father Is a great merchant of this town.” Mistress O’Donnell swept me a wil lowy curtsey, and as I bowed acknowl edgment I wondered where he had se cured such exact information about me. "Sure, I’ll not be after trying to thank you,” says my .lady to me with a twinkle in her eye. “For I couldn’t find the words would express my gratitude. But for you, 'tis an awful fool I’d have made of myself this quarter-hour past.” Colonel O’Donnell hemmed reprov ingly. “Let it be a lesson to you, my girl. Iiy thanks to you again, Master Or merod. My compliments to your fa ther, if it please you. Good night, sir.” I understood that he wished to be rid of me, and' accepted the cue. “Good night, sir," I replied., “And a fair voyage to you, mistress. If I can be of further service, pray com mand me.” “Ko, Master Ormerod, here our Jaths diverge,” she answered softly, anfi placed her band upon her father’s atm. 4 moment later I was hurrying north and west, Ilarby McGraw chat tering beside met CHAPTER-III A Caller in the Night We sat late at dinner that night, for my father must needs have me re peat at length the tale of my experi- enJes during the day, revealing a perturbation unusual In him, although, oter Corlaer ate on with placid solemnity.

I- like It not to hear the pirates are outside our harbor. It haththelookofdaring beyond the ordinary. If Murray—” The door behind me opened, and I saw my fathers, jaw drop. Peter, at my right hand, let his eyelids- blink, then went on quietly cracking nuts between his. huge fingers. "D id I hear you call me, Ormerod?” The voice from" the doorway hud ■ a- chill, level quality that was as reso nant as the tolling of a bell. ‘" I f Murray—’ I thought I heard, my name?” I screwed around ' In my chair. There In the doorway stood the most remarkable figure I had ever seen. A large man, straight as an arrow de spite the years that had planted crow’s feet so, thickly about his eyes, his square shoulders showed to ad vantage the exquisite tailoring of the black velvet coat he wpre. His small clothes were of a fine yellow damasked silk, and his stockings of silk to match. Diamonds flashed' -from the buckles of h is. shoes, his 'fob, his fingers aijd the hilt of his dress-sword. A great ruby glowed in the Mechin jabot that cascaded from his throat Over his arm hung a cloak, and under his elbow was tucked a hat cocked in the latest mode. _ But it ‘was the memory of his face that abided with you. The features were all big and strongly carved; the nose was a jutting beak above a tight- lipped mouth and a jaw that was brutally square; the eyes were a vivid black, flecked with.tawny tights. His hair was of a pure, silvery whiteness and. drawn back, clubbed and tied with a black ribbon. His cheeks and brows were furrbwed by a maze of wrinkles, yet the flesh seemed as firm as mine. In every way he suggested' breeding, gentility, w ealth; but there was a .combined effect of sinister power and predatory will, a hint of ruthless egotism which took no ac count of any interests save his own. He acknowledged my prolonged stare with a slight bow, mildly derisive. “Your son, Ormerod?” he continued. “My grandnephew? Robert, I think, you named him, for the redoubtable Master Juggins of. London, who aided, you to start life anew after you had contrived to wreck yourself upon the rocks of a foresworn Jacobite career.” My" father rose slowly to his feet “Yes, he is my son, Murray. It IS neither his fault nor mine that he is also your granduephew. As to tyls name, Robert Juggins was a better man than you or I, and you cannot inspire my son against me by hinting at hidden chapters of my early life. He knows that I was deluded into serving.the Stuarts, and lived to learn that country comes before king.” The man In the doorway nodded his -head. “I would not seem discourteous,” he remarked suavely. “I note another old friend, Ormerod—or perhaps I should, say. an old enemy. Permit me to. observe, Coriaer, that you wear well with the years—as well as my self, indeed.” Peter squeezed a hickory-nut be tween his forefinger and thumb and looked up vacantly Into Murray’s face. ltJa," he said. “Lest you should, be tempted by some misapprehension," pursued Mur ray, “I may inform' you that I have every reason to suppose myself safe from any measures you -might take against me. Khope to do what I have come here for tonight without injur ing anybody, and If you gentlemen will' listen to me quietly 'for a few moments I am confident that the is sue will be harmless for. all of us.” He cast his cloak and hat upon a chair by the fire, and put his band upon the vacant one betwixt my fa ther and me. “May I?” he asked.) My father, still standing, said noth ing; and. Murray, with a shrug, ac cepted, the silence for consent, sank gracefully Into the seat and drew a golden snuff-box, studded with bril liants, from- a pocket “With your permission,” he , said, springing the cover. A fragrant, whiff of snuff-tobacco tickled my senses as he-offered it gen erally.. . . - “ ’Tis excellent stuff,” he remarked. “Ripe Rip-Rap. What? Noiie of you? Ah, then—” He dusted a ptncb under his nos trils, Inhaled and daintily used his !handkerchief, a lace-edged _ morsel such as women carry. My father Ieqned forward across the table, e blaze of hatred In his face. “ ’Tis true, then!” Murray regarded him In some sur prise. • "...“True?. My dear sir, I assured you ’twas Bip-Bap." • My father turned to P eter and me. '1A fter I told you—about this man, Robert—I hoped that I was w ro n g s th a t I had done him ah injustice. But now he has convicted him self out of his own Ups.” ■ , : .' Murray gently deposited the snuff- hok upon the table in front of him . • “A h” he',murmured... “I see! You were ’referring to, my ■ nlckdarae. or, s'haU we sa^ nemme deJ aerFe5 ‘\M y father laughpd bltte.ly.| , '“Somme de guerre! Nafne of a pirate! But let us have it, fair and openly, Andrew Murray. Are you Cap tain Rlp-Rap?” • “I suppose most people would agree with your description,” replied Mur ray; “although'personally I prefer the' word buccaneer.' It Is susceptible to so much wider use, and there Is about it a suggestion of— However, we are not Interested here tonight In the more abstruse branches of etymology. I am the person popularly known on the high seas as Captain Rlp-Rap, and I fancy I might have logical grounds for arguing that’ If any disgrace ad heres to m e by that admission, 'twas you, Ormerod, who drove me to the practice of what you call piracy.” “ 'Tis like you to take that tone,” said my father. “I drove you from the practice of what amounted to piracy on the land. There Is no dif ference In the way you earn your live lihood today, Murray. You were an outlaw, and you are an outlaw.” “I fear you are incapable of doing me justice,” sighed Murray. “You should know that I have always la bored to serve higher ends than the mere sordid pursuit of money, such as has possessed you and those like you.” , He swung around suddenly upon me. “But I am forgetting my purpose!” he cried. “Stand up, grandnephew, and let me have a look at you.” I would not ,have heeded him, but my father said quickly: “Do as he asks you, Robert. I’d hot have him think you are crooked in the legs.” So I stood. “A likely build,” he remarked-warm ly. “You favor your father, I see— save in the face, it may be. There you are your mother, my maid Mar jory. Ah, sweet chit, would she were with us now! A sad loss; a sad loss, lad!” The expression which came to my father's face was terrible in its in tensity of passion. He leaned closer to Murray, white to the cheekbones, his nostrils pinched In. “Murray," he said, “make an end of such talk! A s'you value your life, mention her hot ‘ again. I know not what cards you hold up your sleeve here, but If we all die in the next mo ment I will slay you as you sit if you profane her memory with your foul tongue.” • . Murray stared up at him coolly and took a pinch of snuff. “Ah, well, you were always p re ju diced,” he answered. “I— “But It serves no. purpose to reopen old wounds. I am of one mind with you there.” He Ieaned abruptly across the table. “I will be frank with you, Ormerod— and with Nephew Robert'here. I am somewhat in difficulties—” “If ’tis money—” began my father. My great-uncle’s gesture was suffl- clent,cheek to this. “I am not in difficulties for money, although I am like-to be In difficulties shortly in. connection with an embar rassing quantity of it.- In fine, sir, I am upon the point of launching the coup of my career, one which will en tail consequences .of a stupendous character, and in the end, I venture to predict, echo in throne-rooms and chancelleries. Aye, kingdoms shall-g-' He broke off. “It ip not necessary that I should go into. that. Suffice it for the pres ent if I say that I am In the position of a . man who has partially tamed an unwieldy band of wild animals. My own ship I can rely upon up to a cer tain point, but I have associated with me—’ “That would be Flint?" Interjected my father. “I am flattered by the knowledge of my affairs which you display,” re plied my great-unde with one of his courtly inclinations. “Yes; I had oc casion, when I first went to sea, for a competent navigator. Flint served me in that capacity until I became in dependent, and I then fitted him out with: his own ship. We have , cruised in company since. I am not betraying a professional secret when I add that he is a man whose undoubted force of personality is Offset by a ' certain turbulence and crudeness of wit which make him difficult to handle—increas ingly difficult to handle, I may . say. I foresee trouble with him In the fu ture In connection with the coup to which I have already referred. I re- ffiilre. a - young man {to stand at My elbow and assist me In curbing unruly spirits. I promise a great future for such.” “Command of his own pirate craft, no doubt?” pressed my father. “That would be an offer to draw most stout youths,” returned iny great- uncle. “Bah, what is piracy, that you and your kind prate against it, Orme rod? Is it any worse Iu character than four-fifths of the business prac ticed in this world? What are you and those like you but men who seek to deprive others of their lawful gains that you may add to your stores what the others possessed? I take from the wealthy, who can afford to lose, what they have dishonestly got, more often than not, and much of what I w ln'I contribute to the Cause to which-you* gave- your- first .loyalty/' “An admirable code of ethics,” ob served my father. “But come to the point. What will you have? That I should apprentice Robert to you to be Indentured a good, honest, trusty and skillful pirate?" ' ' “Even so." My father sat back in his chair. ‘TH not,” he said. Murray treated himself to a pinch of snuff. “What does our ypung man himself say?” he asked. “I say that you offer me no Induce ment,” I answered as shortly as I could. “ ’Odslife,” he swore. “No induce ment? My dear nephew, I offer you an open, bracing life—for a brief space; a share in a brave venture; an opportunity .to rehabilitate your fam ily, to rise to’ place, title and honor.” “On a pirate’s deck?” I jeered. “From a pirate's quarterdeck,” he Corrected- me gravely. “I am on my last cruise The Royal James is to vindicate her name. Aye, in years to come she will be regarded as a shrine of loyalty and devotion, and to have sailed with Andrew Murray in her— Why, sir, who remembers today ~of Robin Hood aught but that he was true to King Richard In adversity?” The man’s surety was amazing. “This passes all reason,” said my father wearily. “You must be insane." “Not at all,” retorted my great- unde. “I am the leading practitioner of my profession. Winter, Davis, "What Does Our Young Man HimseTf Say?” He Asked. Roberts, Bellamy, all the more noted —ah—pirates of recent years, were small fryscompared to me. I tell you, Ormerod, you stand in the boy’s way.” “He is not a boy, but a man,” snapped my father. ’.‘And able to judge his own course.” “So be it.” JMy great-uncle turned to me once more. “It appears this decision Is left be twixt us two, Nephew ..Robert,” he said. “So I must inform you that I am determined to have your aid In any event—by force, if you will not accompany me reasonably.” There was a snap as a Brazil nut split apart in Peter’s grip. Murray waved an airy hand in his direction. “ 'Tis true, that you are the ,most powerful man I ever met, Corlaer,” he remarked; “yet I urge you not to attempt violence. ’ I have sufficient men in the house to overpower you, and I should not hesitate to slay-Or merod or you at need. The boy Is the only one of you three whose life hath value to me.” “He means it, Peter,” said my -fa ther. “Keep your hands down.” ' ,’.’Ja,” squeaked Peter. “You were ever a wise man, Orine-. rod,” resumed my great-uncle. . “I venture to congratulate you upon'the soundness of your judgment. Now for you, Nephew Robert. Come with me you shall, but I prefer that you come willingly. Therefore I lay before you- Purple Royal Emblem From Earliest Days purple became associated With kings In the eariy days because Tt was the finest and most- costly dye of the an cients.’ It was obtained from tw(o kinds of Shells found In the Mediterranean sea. „ The ancients attribute Its dis covery to the Phoenicians and the story-ls that lt was first discovered by a dog biting a purple fish.

You are exactly the Iad I re quire,” . “I am the Iad you’ll' not get,” I shouted. “Call 'In your bravos, and I’ll tear their throats out for you.” “Gently, gently,’-’ he remonstrated. “My bravos, as you term them, are not lambs, Nephew Robert, and I must warn you that the killings Would not be all on the one side. If you yalue your father, stand fast” And he drew from a waistcoat pocket a silver whistle, which he placed to his Ups. A thin blast-piped through the room, and a dozen hairy seadogs surged in from hall and kitchen. Raps on. the two windows indicated that others mounted guard outside. M yjather’s face was a mask of min gled' rage and fear—not fear for him self, but for me. He stared at the savage figures, the bared cutlasses, the ready pistols, almost with unbe lief In the reality of his vision. And certes .’twas a weird spectacle In that orderly house In the town we of the province looked upon as the. most' ad vanced In the colonies—and became to me the more weird as I glimpsed next the hall' door a grim mahogan# face and a hangman look beneath a skrim of. black hair, and behind the two a familiar carroty head. “HO, there, Darby!” I called out “What are you doing In such com pany? Did you know those men for pirates when you- drank with them at the Whale’s Head?” , “Sure, they ha’ taken me into their crew,” he answered brazenly. “And ’twas you let them into the house and betrayed your master!” -re turned my father sadly. “I had not expected.1 this of you, Darby. Have we not been kind to you?” Darby wiggled uncomfortably. “Oh, aye; main kind, Master Orme rod,” he" admitted. “But they would ha’ had ye, whether or no. Sure, they’re a grand crew, tricksy crew. And any way, ye'see, I was born to be a pirate. My troth, I-'was!” v -- Murray laughed pleasantly. ‘"T is a valiant youth, and.should go far,” : he observed. “Moreover, he speaks the truth when he says we should have won our way In to you without his aid.' The accommodation was convenient, but by no means es sential. “Where Is Silver, Master Bones?’ he added. The man with the mahogany face touched'his hat. "John was seeing to it the sarvants was all secure, sir,” he answered. “Here he is now.” ' A gap appeared In the ranks by the kitchen door, and the one-legged man I had met on the water-front that morning stumped In on his ,long crutch, as cheerfully serene as any honest householder. , “Was you askin’ for me, captain?” he said. "We just finished up behind there—all gagged and roped, Bristol- fashlon, safe fop a day, sir.” And to me—' ' “My duty, Master Ormerod, and I hopes we'll-know each other better soon.” “I find we shall need a cart, John,” said my great-uncle. My father turned very pale. “You—you— My G—d, Murray, you can’t kidnap the boy this way! Think! There are troops In Fort George. Once the. hue and cry is raised you’ll be—1" “But It will not be raised,” replied Murray calmly. “I regret it, bnt we shall' be obliged to tie up you and Peter so that you. will be incapacitat ed until some kind friend happens to call on'the morrow. By that time we shall be at sea.” * ' I snatched up the chair upon which I had been sitting and brandished It over his head. “Call off these scoundrels of yours or I’li batter out your, brains,” I snarled. . ' “John,” he said, ignoring me, “you will be so kind as to pistol the elder M aster' Ormerod. If his son launches a blow , at me/’ “Aye, aye, sir,” answered Sliver. And he leveled a weapon at my fa ther. I knew, without looking behind me, that Peter and I were covered by other men.' It was Peter who spoke ‘first. ' "Put down der chair.

"Neen, neen,” objected Peter, and witli'no visible, wffort he snapped the bempen strands. A gasp, went up from the room, and there was a hasty retreat from his neighborhood, .

Lesson for February 7 JESUS HEALS AND SAVES A BLIND MAN MSSQN TEXT—John »:I-41.GODOEN T E X T --I am the light of the world, he that followeth Me shall jo t walk In darkness, but shall have the «Bht ot Ute.”—John 8:12: .PRIUARY TOPIC-The Blind Man Made to See; , . JDNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Helps a 6llnd Man. . INTERMEDIAfSE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What Jesus Did for the Blln’d Man.TOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Jesus Christ the tig h t of the World. I. Working the Works of God While It Is Day Cyv. 1-5). 1. The Disciplesi Probiem (vv. I, 2), In their minds all affliction, negative and positive, was God's retribution for sin. Theretore1 they argued that this man's blindness proved his sin. They recognized, too, that the effect, of sin is sometimes hereditary. No doubt they inferred this from the second commandment (Ex. 20:5).' The impli cation is that they held the view that men have a pre-existence, and that suf fering in this life may fee the result of sins committed in that pre-existent state. 2. The Lord’s Answer-(vv. 3-5). The Lord affirmed that in tliis case there was neither sin on the man’s part, nor that of his parents, but that it was-an occasion to r the display of the works of God. arid that He had come to execute this ta st while it. was day, because the night would come When no man could work. Since Christ is the light of the world, the task which challenged . His attention, was the opening of this man’s eyes. . The purpose of Jesus in working miracles was not a mere exhibition of miracu lous power, but “ to illustrate in the physical sphere. His power in the spir itual sphere.” This man's absolute helplessness in bettering his physical condition is illustrative of man’s utter helplessness in the salvation, of Iiis own soul. The natural , man is blind and dead (II Cor. 4:4; Eph. 2:1). God by H is spirit must quicken the soul dead in trespasses and sin before it can see to take hold. on Christ, the remedy for sin. II. The Man's Eyes Opened (w . 6, 7). 1. The Means. • Jesus spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed his eyes. Observe that the means used In this miracle were little less than fool ish in themselves. The object must have been to teach this man the utter inadequacy of the means to the ac complishment of the end,/chat he might be caused to look from the means to the One who used them, that he might be convinced that Jh e power was of God. 2. His Obedience (v. 7). He immediately obeyefl. He did not' stop to question the reasonableness ot the command. III. The Man’s Testimony (vv. 8- 36). In his testimony we have a fine ex ample of the development of faith. !The- opening of this man’s eyes aroused in quiry among his neighbors. When a man’s spiritual eyes are opened, there wilt be 4 stir among his friends. 1. He Testified to His Personal Iden tity (v. 9). Tbis Was very easy. His self-consciousness enabled him to know that he was the same man who was born blind. 2. . He Testified as to How It W as Done (vv. 11-15). So definite was his experience that he was able to tell just how it was done. When he re peated it there was no conflict. 3. He Testified Tliat the One Who Opened His Eyes Was a Prophet (v. 17). 4. He Testified That This Healer Mo Doubt W as Sent of God (vv. 30-33). He declared that- He was the greatest worker of miracles who had appeared since the world began. 5. He worshiped Him as the Son of God (v. 38). IV. The Results of His'Confession. 1. As to the People, They Were Di vided in Sentiment (v. 16). Some be lieved He was from God because of His works, others that He was a sin ner .because 'iHe did His work on the Sabbath. day: ' '• 2. As to the Man, They Cast. Him Out (v. 34). Faithful testimony will often result in ostracism from even re ligious people. 3. As to Jesus, He Found the Man (v. 35)., Being cast dut by men he found himself In the arms of Jfesus. It is quite often true that separation from human fellowship results in more vital fellowship with Jesus. He was led on to a deeper faith.. He first saw Him as a- miracle worker, then as a prophet- and finally as the Son of God and when he perceived Him to be the Son of God, he worsl).’ped Him.

To the woman who feels the urge to make pretty clothes In readiness for the future outdoor months, tiiere is no more in spirational theme than dainty lingerie. Therefore let deft finger get busy with the making of the lovely under- things which can so easily and eco nomically > be fashioned at home. The fairylike colored step-in combi nations, gowns and costume slips which the mode bids us wear, furnish an excellent excuse tor attending-bar- the opening words of George Eliot's fascinating iaie of “Silas Mamer.” A narrative of modern times would prob ably substitute the' words “frame and hook-needle’’ for spinning wheel, for “hooking” has become the popular needle art among present-day women of the household. Perhaps, the tremendous interest shown in this art of rug making is directly traceable to the fact that in terior decoration in such a widely ex plotted theme these days. Anyway, rug making with a. hooked needle has become a favorite occupation and pastime in the modern household. Es pecially does it-find favor with those who sire wondering just how to use to advantage the tedious hours between now and when spring comes with its allurements of outdoor sports. k T he. fancy work departments give places of prominence to the display of V fH iizmfm STEP-IN CHEMISE MODEL gain sales where tinted voiles, radium silks and printed crepes can be ‘bought for a song.” However, re member this, fine ribbons, laces and materials, together with a will to do are not the only essentials for success in the making of fashionable under wear. No, indeed, one of the most im portant items in the list is, a correct pattern. ■ • The necessity for an accurate up;to- the-moment pattern is due to the'fact that changing style conditions have had. a marked effect upon lingerie modes. Extra fulness, for so long a subject taboo, has again' become an important element in our undergar ments as well as our frocks .and coats. For Instance, in days not far distant in the past, .any tendency to fulness as is shown in the step-in chemise here pictured, would not have been tolerated. Today it is quite the proper thing to accomplish width In the shirt portion or about the hemline either by means of extra gathers, plaits or inset gores, - - Remember also, that very colorful underwear is the promise for this spring and summer. Pastel-tinted colorful yarns such as are required for the m ating of hooked rugs. Ii one’s living room is done in brown and old rose there are yarns to be had which will harmonize with this color scheme. Of course one will show’ the good taste of designing each hand some rug so that it will complement the environment for which it is in tended: Burlap comes stamped with any preferred design, from baskets of flowers to animal $nd bird figures. An especially contrived wooden frame Is the "only other requisite. After the burlap has been stretched tight to the frame the first step is to hook the outline of the design.. It is essential that one cut the loops as each row is finished to. have the com pleted surface of the rug smooth and attractive.'. The background must be filled in last of all. An especially pre pared shellac is obtainable for coat ing the back of the rug. The final act is to- line the rug with bright felt or flannel. One’s effort need not be confined, to th e' more imposing living-room rugs, DESIGN FOR HOOKED RUG voiles, ■' hand-embroidered • are the vogue. These are daintily lace edged, and smocking, , fagoting and hemstitch ing contribute a major share to their exquisiteness. - , Very 'pretty effects are .attained by appilquelng squares,' diamonds or cir cles of.colored handkerchief linen or Voile on - backgrounds of' contrasting color'or white. This enables one. to carry out the popular vogue of com bining pastel tints. One can_ also, scallop underthlngs, binding or piping the scallops with «i contrasting color. Colored footing Is a very pleasing substitute for lace edging. In tiie days when ,the spinning wheels ,liuramed busUy :in the farm- bouse and when 'even great ladies elothed in - silk aotf : thread-lace had their toy spinning Wheelsn-U iese are. for lovely bath mats, can be fashioned out ,o f , soft cotton instead of wool. Designs may be worked out in' deift blue, yellow or old rose, on Whitei or the Idea m ay be reversed. That is, work out the pattern on the colored background. Most every woman is confronted with the problem of what to do with old stockings, which, one hesitates to throw away, and yet they require too much patience and valuable time to keep on mending. Here is a sugges tion which is"-well worth, following^ Cut this cast-off hosiery around and around as if making extra fine car pet rags.

"f Birmingham, Ala.—Sixty-three min ers were trapped in Mosboro mine pt the Prem ier Coal company near Hel ena,, and it is feared that 38 of that number are dead. ' Twenty-five : have been brought out alive. The known dead number 10, that many bodies having been recovered. The mine is in an isolated spot, difficult of access and cut off^from wire communication. A relieg train was en route to the scene from Bir mingham carrying doctors, nurses and' miners crews. .No rescue lielp was available In the vicinity of the mine except local crews, which were said to probably lack experience. AU the men alive were brought in one group to be followed by another squad of 13 workers, reports reaching here said. . The' mine is not gaseous property In the ordinary sense and the cause of the accident is unknown. Mining men familiar with the physical aspects of the property said they believed a pocket of gas had in some’ manner ac cumulated and exploded.. It is a small mine. The.m en were entombed just at “knocking off' time. News of the d.saste? spread like wildfire by- means of “communication of the hills,” and within 30 minutes ,wives and children and other rela tives were about the pit w ailing and calling for loved ones. W hite and black mingled in common grief- and a suspense that had been relieved as the weary, lpng drawn out hours of the night wore on. A biting cold wind added to the misery of those awaiting word from their leatives. The mine is on property belonging to the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail way company and is leased to the Premier Coal company. It is practic ally a new mine, with a I1OUO-Iobt slope, and the slope has 12 entries, six on each side. Gets Money For Trip to Arms Parley.

Add one sliced onion, a slice of bacon, a bay leaf, one ten* spoonful of salt, a dash %f pepper, and a tablespoonful of kitcn- en bouquet; simmer tightly covered until tender., Remove the meat, thicken the stock with flour, add any more Seasoning needed and strain over the meat. Place a biscuit dough-'over the meat and hake half an hour. Potted Pigeon.—Clean, wash and truss the pigeons, season and brown in a small amount of fat—pork fat will be liest; add boiling water to cover, with one jhopped onion, one bay leaf, a slice' of carrot, a sprig of parsley and salt to taste. Cook until tender, remove the pigeon and thicken the liquor with flour mtxed with enough cold water, to. blend, let boll, then' pour over tiie pigeons and serve,. The pigeons' will require about two aours cooking, depending upon their age. Baked Ham.—Cover a ham with cold water and bring to the simmer ing point, simmer gently for two 'or three hours, until the skin loosens, then put the ham well drained and dried into a baking pan, after remov ing the skin. Mix a teaspoohful of mustard in two cupfuls of boiling wa ter, add one- cupful of. vinegar and. pour the mixture over the ham, beat ing frequently during the baking. When the ham Is well baked, covet with brown sugar, press down firmly, adding a few cloves; dredge the top with flour and return to the oven to brown. The cloves will flavor the ham better if cooked In it during the whole time of baking.

Caldwell, of Montlcello, Ul.„a.practteing physician for 47 years, it- seemed cruel-that so many- consU-f pated infants and children had to be kept constantly “stirred up” and half sick by'taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel andjnasty oils. While he knew that constipation wqp the CailsexOf nearly all children’s little ills, he did not believe that a sickening “purge” or “physic" was necessary. In Dr. jCaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin he discovered a Iaxatiye which helps to establish natural bowel “regularity” even if the child is chronically con stipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel -movement, but, best of ,11 I never grimes, -sickens or upset, 'I mcfet deUcatd'syhtem.
