Announcement that the old Iiid- deuite mine in Alexander county has beeu re-opened and is again producing the- most valuable pre­ cious stoues in the world will be of general interest. Hiddenite, a gem of rare beauty and of great commercial value, is not produced anywhere in the world except in Alexander county: The larger gems cut from the cry­ stals posses a value estimated at five times that of the finest deamond. Following the accidental discov­ ery of this unique gem about forty- five years ago, it was mined rather extensively for some time', but operations ceased-later on accouut of its scarcity and of the great ex­ pense of mining. ' After remaining inactive for several decades, the old mine was reopened the first of the year 1926. Eor nearly ten months boring and blasting into the gray granite of extraordinary hardness brought little encouragement to the operators. But a thrill went through the little, town when it was atr-- nounced,,on the 19th of October, 1926, that ' a packet lined with quartz crystals in which were em­ bedded several hiddenite gems had been 'exposed. Since that time a ntihiber of these.rare gems, which have been; identified as genuine hid­ denite - by former State Geologist Joseph Hyde Pratte, have, been found. The mine, owned by Mr. J. Ed. Turner is situated near the town of Hiddenite, which is located on the. Statesvilie-TaylorsvHle highway, sixteen miles northwest of States­ ville. . Hiddenite is an emerald green variety of spondttniene, and in it occurs sparsely in the soil and gneis- soid rock, along with emerald, mo- nazite, rutile, allanite, dolomite and quartz crysais. On account Of its rarity and its , beautiful emerald green color thege'in ranks today a- mosg the most valuable of the pre­ cious stones. At- One time a considerable a- inount of mining was done by the Hiddenite Mining Company in seach of these gems and with grati­ fying success, as'crystals of hidden­ ite and chrome-green beryl of ex­ ceptional size and conspicuous beauty-were obtained. Some fine hiddenite gems, are now in the !Setropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Smithsonian Insti­ tution in Washington, the State Museum in Raleigh, and'the British Museum-in Londom. One emeral beryl crystal, nine inches long, was found in the early mining -Opera­ tion and is now in the Metropolitan Museum in New York City. The present owner of the hid. denite mine, Mr. J. Ed. Turner, purchased the laud for. farming purposes about ten years ago. Mr. Turner had- been engaged in' min­ ing operations formerly, for many years through the instrumentality of Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, former ,State ' Geologist, Mrs. Burnham Colburn, of Biltmore1 became inter­ ested in renewing mining opera­ tions. The machinery was put in­ to operation on the iBth of Janulfry 1 9 2 6 ,-JStith Mr. Turner supervising the work, but nothing was found until October 19: 1926, at which; time a number of crystals of hidden­ ite were uncovered. Since that time the miners have sttcceded in unearthing many rare speciments which have been deposited for 'safe keeping in a bank at Taylorsville four miles awav. The finding of gems within the past -monthV 'dfter-^the .mine had' been inacti ve - for Jseveiai decades, is causing'^niany to look , forward with keen inlerest to further dis­ closures as Lhe 'mining operation? Farmers Urged to Picfc AU Cotton. Whde I have not had an opportu­ nity to visit every township in the couuty-receutly, but have gotten, a fair line on the cotton situation of the county, and the whole pied­ mont section for that matter, what is said here may apply to this sec­ tion as a whole. Now, brother farmers, it appears: to be a fact that we have produced! the most abundant crop ever, made in this section, all for wnich let us be thankful to the Great Ruler of the Universe. But, my dear sirs the price of our stable crop, cotton, is a de­ plorable situation. We, as good citizens, must try and make The best out of the situation, and gov­ ern Ourselves accordingly. The remedy is.iu our hands, if we use it all well and good. If we don’t use the remedy tnen calamity stares us in the face—DI­ VERSIFY. . Up to this good day, I have nev­ er have seen so much cotton yet unpicked in the fields, and I am. informed that in some places the growers are so discouraged that they are figuring on plowing under a lot of cotton to make fertilizer for the next crop. Now, mv good farmer frionds, I knowTit’s a discouraging time, but I ..will hate to- see"cotton turned under for the—inability to get i picked. Even if the price is low, the crop is made all but harvesting. I am asking the question what is the stuff worth to-the land;-and. some say that they are not going- to pick' it for the price. If I had to say that from present outlook IredellTJOunty will have a thousand bales of cotton left in the field if some special effort is "not soon made to get it out Now if there is a thousand bales going to waste in this county many other counties are in a similar fix. “ Even at the low figure this cot top is worth, seed and all, nearly $40 per bale and that may mean a waste of $40,000. The tact of such a thing makes me shiver to think of-it. '“ Now the cotton that might be Jeft tnat could be picked, from a fertilizer standpoint, would be worth only about sixty cent per hundred pounds, or seven dollars a bale, as against Jtjo picked, against $40,000 picked- Besides the waste, the moral of- such a thing as trying to saye that which is.alieayd made, will surely not have an elevating effect on us as business men at all. For no other ieason, if not the poor price we are getting, show our loyal colors to our profession, and save what we have produced, and. let it go as far as it will towards pay­ ing our obligations and then we can go to the business world, with a clear and determined will to diver­ sity our crops. ■ _ ! - So this is the evil we farmers have to-face—Jet’s use it. ■ Diversify raise feeds andrrstpck and after all" this is done, raise what corton we .can take caffe of and pi ices will take care of itself. .

If there be any oldtimers in the RepubIican party in North Caro­ lina-Who are secretly gloating over the decisive defeat of “young Hayes,”, of Wilkes, because they want him eliminated from leader­ ship of the minority party in this State, they are laughing too soon. Mr...' Hayes is unquestionably stronger withthe "rank and file” of his party today than ever before. And there are reasons. One of them is that Mr. Hayes demon­ strated to young men in the Re­ publican party and to the women that it was possible for the United States Senate in North Carolina to Conduct an absolute clean and at the same time aggressive campaign. He showed that it was not neces­ sary for such a candidate to appeal to prejudice, but that he could stand on principles. Another is that on State issues, Mr. Hayes tood a bold, courageous and forward-lookihg position. In ,that position he was always consis tent. He didn’t tell people one thing in one county and something else in another merely to tickle the ears of the groundlings where he happened to be speaking. . However much one may disagree with Mr. Hayes on * principles of National legislation discussed by him in his speech dealing with state issues, such as school .,and roads and the Australian ballot, sounded a courageous note of progress that iindoubtly made a splendid impres­ sion 011 a. majority of the, people of North Carolina. In his discussion of these great State questions there .was no essential differenced be­ tween Mr. Hayes speech in Wins­ ton-Salem and the campaign speech,-, es here'by Josephus Daniel and O. Max Gardner: True, Mr. Hayes was defeated, everybody expected hint to be beat­ en. But hemadethesortof cam­ paign that entitles him to the ’un­ challenged leadership of his party in Norfh7Caroiina. And he will no doubt, retain his present position of power and influence in the councils of.the G. 0 . P., if he so desires. - “Charity and Children,” a non­ partisan newspaper and an unpre­ judiced observer, of the late cam­ paign' in North Carolina, is right when it sayS: “Mr. Johnson J: Hayes, whether he gets the ap­ pointment to a Federal Judgeship, will be remembered for the vigor­ ous-campaign he made as a candi­ date for the Senate. He is probab- iy the fore-most figure in this party n the State, and made a good im­ pression upon the public gener­ ally.” .. Go After Them. .

"Menial” Jobs A newspaper reporter, conducting a survey in Boston recently discov- ed that the. socgtled "menial” jobs pay better than white-collar occu­ pations. Barbers were found who were making $5,OOffh year, taxicab drivers average $50 or more a week, wait? resses getting $35 to $40 a week,, and porters to whom $35 a week was no strange figure. Many meagerly paid _stenogarph- ers, clerks and bookkeeps tip barbers waitresses and porteri-because, they "feel sorry” for them. The ^oston reporter discovered that the feeling, was mutual—that those in the "men­ ial” positions also felt sorrjt.for the white-collar fol^. . . r TherAis a strange psycology about tipping: The stenographer who tips the waitress dpes it sometimes. thru pity, sometimes thru timidity, some-- times to put; up a front. ‘At any rate.Lhe “menial” folk are cashing in on it.—Knoxville News.

North Carolina will have three Reputyican State Senators in the next:general Assembly and about si xfreen Republicans in the lower liduse-. It could be worse but we lie glad it ;s-i’t. The- Democratic majority in North Carolina dwindled down to about 7 5 ,0 0 0 when the State elec­ tion board met last week. AU the Democratic papers come out the day after the election with big headlines declaring North Carolina -had gone Democratic by ioo.oco majority. _______ One . of the Republican county officers informs us that he wouldn’t give us 5 cents for at life time of both the Mocksville newspapers. He is about right about the matter. We doubt whether they are worth even that much to him. He knows what he is talking about for be­ takes both of them. ' Weknow of a few postmasters who are too tight-fisted to take their, couiity papers. We^imagine they read the papers belonging to some one else that goes through their office. A few leading citizens of Mocksville ease around and read The Record without paying for it. There are always a few people who go through the world-trying to get something for nothing. No use ttTworry this early about Al Smith being the next President. He hasn't been nominated yet, much less elected. Wenoticed the other day in our favorite news­ paper that one of the biggest ne­ groes in North Carolina had come out flat-footed for Al. If there are others, let them climb on the band wagon with those who have already climbed on. Some of o.ur ^subscribers who have been reading The Record are not reading it now. We were forced to cut spme names off our list; who let .thei.r subscriptions get more than one year behind. The price of everything that goes into the -mak­ ing of a newspaper is entirely too high-1 to give away." We expect those who are owing us to send in the amount this month. Stopping the paper doesn’t mean that the debt is cancelled. ' ij The world is full of all kind of people—the good, bad amj indiffer­ ent. There are good preachers, good ■ lawyers, good doctors and editors, besides good folks in lots ' of other business but there are also some bad preachers, lawyers, doc­ tors, editors, etc, A man who will not pay-his honest debts is a-' migh­ ty sotry fellow, we don’t-care what profession he belongs to. Ati hon est man is said to-be the noblest work of God. \ '■ Twenty-five years ago lint cot­ ton was.selling for 7 cents a paund and seed cotton was around two .cents.

The price was moderate—too mod­ erate, Caleb thought, rich with un­ spent salary and the possession of a thousand shares of Crystal Springs stock, preferred issue. Still, that was the artist’s business, to price his own wares. While he waited for the group about the painter to dissolve, some one entered the gallery back of him and came swiftly up behind’him with light steps. He turned to greet Mrs. Carquinez, her face alight with wel­ come greeting, her jade eyes survey­ ing him with their perpetual appraisal. “ This is fine!" she exclaimed. ‘‘Do yob know, we have been talking about you all the afternoon? Or nearly all. have lots of news for you,” she added, the jade eyes full^of promises. "Carky has sold three pictures and we are going to celebrate,” she went on. “We exist between sales, you know.” Caleb had a vision of a noisy studio gathering. He w«*s not in the humor for such a celebration, not even for the news that the artist’s wife -sug­ gested would he his reward. •“Pm afraid—"he commenced slowly.. She broke in. ‘There is nothing to’ be afraid of,” she laughed. “It Isn’t that kind of a celebration. Ton and I and CaWty will go back to the studio as soon as it is too dark to sell any more pictures. Carky won’t exhibit under artificial light, yhu know. We shall bear with luxuries, lychis, alligator pears, mushrooms, preserved ginger and other more substantial things. Carky will "»ok. I thought I could, before married him, but I discovered my mistake. Therefore, on apecial occa­ sion, Carky plays chef. You can stay all sight or leave for your old gravel beds. We live across, the bay, you know or you should know. Coming? Ton’ll be sorry if you don’t. There tril be just—us.” She emphasized the last word a trifle and stood look­ ing at Caleb with ker hands and arms a little extended In an Icvlittiov that was Irresistible in its genuineness. ‘TU come,” said Caleb, “if—” “No Ifs. Tou and I will go a-mar- keting. Come on.” “Not until Tve bought this picture. I am going to take it along with me. It grips me, aside from the painting of i t What does “La Tenaya” mean?” “The Sink. As applied to a desert cistern, natural or otherwise,” she an­ swered. “It is in your line, isn’t It? But Tm glad you chose it. It is my favorite and one of Carky’s.” Presently Caleb and Mrsi. Carquinez did their marketing from the cab that Caleb chartered, through the markets and up Chinatown. Caleb bought some masses of iris for his share in the feast and then, on their way back to the studio, he halted the machine outside the most famous of Golden’s stores, Le Blanc’s. ‘‘How old is the kiddy, Mrs. Carqui­ nez?” he asked. “You told me there was one, at Tedder’s. A girl. How old?” “She -is not included in these cele­ brations, Mr. Warner. Please don’t— ’ “Please let me. Mrs. Carquinez, Tve been cooped up for months with­ out blowing myself for a penny. This is my affair. Tou are not even to come In. I am going to choose it my­ self* She laughed while Caleb entered and was whisked up to the floor con­ secrated to children’s toys. He sim­ plified matters and dodged his own ignorance by demanding the most elaborate doll on the floor. Mrs. Car­ quinez said notiiing much, affecting an air of disapproval, tempered by the look In her eyes,-though she did ex­ claim at the size of'the box. “My child Is "only of ordinary dimen­ sions, Mr. Warner. Have you tried to present her with a dancing partner of her own size?” Caleb carried off his canvas trium­ phantly under’his arm, despite Car­ quinez’ plea that it should be framed —at his expense, under his direction, In exchange for.. the present to his child. The studio proper occupied all the level ground, a great room with the big north light at one end; a fireplace at the other. There was a fire In the hearth, glowing logs on andirons, mere for charm than necessary heat. A settle with cushions that picked up the blacks and reds and white of a Navajo rug was empty. A tig chair contained a slender figure in black holding a child. Carquinez had • descended to his kitchen with the celebration plunder. Mrs. Carquinez checked Caleb on the studio threshold while he took In the scene.. 'The girl In black was crooning softly. ' The child looted, up and slid from the cuddly lap with a cry of— “Madrel Auntie Betty, it’s madre!” and came running to halt at the sight of Caleb—a slender elf with brown eyes big with astonishment and shy­ ness and W mother’s ash-gold hair entangling fire and lamplight Behind her Betty Clinton got up gad stood looking at Caleb. The production of the marvelons foil broke all awkwardness of the weetlng Mid as the child cried out her rapture, Betty and Caleb shook hands. ‘‘He is part of the celebration, Betty,” said Mrs. Carquinez. “We sold four canvases and he bought one of them. The best ‘La Tenaya.’ Elsie, you haven’t thanked Mr. Warner.” “I don’t know how,” said Elsie pre­ cociously. “Ton are a very nice gen­ tleman to think of me. Did you bring a dolly for Aunt Betty's baby?” , Betty Clinton seemed- a little con­ fused and Mrs. Carquinez .laughed and changed the subject. “Has she. had her supper, Betty? Then it is bedtime.” The,,child dis­ appeared with Betty. “She is Elsie’s second mother, you see. I told you them would be just 'us,’ ” s said the artist’s wife. “Now, then, you and I will transform our­ selves Into kitchen assistants.” It was a wonderful dinner, served on the studio table. Afterward Mrs. Carquinez sat down to a piano that lurked in a shadowy corner aDd played snatches of Chopin, giving place to the husband, who produced a guitar and sang “La Paloma." “His enthusiasm is greater than his musical quality,” laughed bis wife, “but this is our celebration chant.” And then she went back into the house and, after a little, called Car­ quinez, leaving the two alone. “I am glad you came,” said Betty. “I have something to say to you. An apology. I tried to write it, but that seemed cowardly. Now I have got my opportunity. “Mary Morgan came to me,” she went on. “She is in Sacramento with an irrigation concern and doing very ©By Doddi U«ad A Co* WNU Service He set up the unframed canvas that night In his room in the little bunga­ low set up for his use on the works, and it was the last thing his eyes rest­ ed upon before he turned in. Somehow it seemed to epitomize his career—wa­ ter and desert places. He fancied Betty and himself in such a solitude, prepar­ ing the way for the fertility and pop­ ulation that should follow their dis­ covery and development of water. And Betty did not appear entirely as co-worker. He had seen something Cl the softer side of her that came as a revelation that warmed and thrilled him to the core. Nor did he forget to acknowledge Mary Morgan’s share In all this, giv­ ing himself no credit for her straight­ ening out matters with Betty Clinton. It was a reflex feeling from Cox’s magnanimity that had sent Mary Mor­ gan to Betty Clinton more than any desire to show up Baxter. So Caleb fancied, and was grateful. Mrs. Car. quinez was another one to come in for an unuttered blessing. The world began to go very well. “I'm Afraid,” He Commenced Slowly. well. She could not well take the child with her at first and so—she brought it with-her when she visited me—Maria is playing foster mother. It Is too young for dolls, though. “Ton can guess why Mary Morgan came to El Nido. She told me all that you bad done for her, and Mr. Cox, and she’ told me all of the miserable business between her and Baxter, to­ gether with how he had misrepresent­ ed you and deceived my father. I am sorry. I did doubt much of what he said, but it seemed quite convincing to my father. I am sorry you could not tell dad before he went. Will you forgive me?” “There Is nothing to forgive.” The gladness In Caleb’s voice backed his assertion. “Yet I should like to make one condition—no not a condition,” he added, “a favor. If,” he hesitated, thinking of her black gown, “if you are not averse to going out, I should like very much to haveyou come with Carquinez and his wife to the opening of the Caliente works next month.” “I shall be very glad to come. I shall be out of mourning. Dad does not want me to be a recluse. Will that seal our forgiveness?” She got up, slim in the twilight, and held out her hand. She had spoken in the present tense of her father. Caleb noticed, as if death had not severed the link between them. “I also am very glad,” he said, as he released her fingers. CHAPTER KVl The Opening There was no doubt, from the very beginning, of the success of the for­ mal opening of the works. The d'ay was perfect and the guests arrived by special train or motor to accord with a program laid out by Cox’s secretary, who was a wizard for schedules. Caleb had secured seats for Betty Clinton and Mr. and Mrs. Carquinez, with whom slfe arrived, at the side of the table opposite the speakers. He had personally conducted them on the inspection tour and he saw them in their places before he went on to his own. A table had been set for the fore­ men and their wives. Maria and Pa­ dilla had been sent invitations and they sat with this group, subordinate yet a part of the celebration. Beside Padilla was Evans, the water-diviner, now in general charge Of the divert­ ing ponds that extended above the lengths of the fllter galleries. While Coleb had greeted these hum­ bler but necessary workers, one of the foremen rose as Betty, With the artist and his wife, was chatting with Evans, to whom she had been introduced at her own request. , ..“I had to . fire that chap, Johnson, yesterday, Mr. Warner,” said the man In a low tone. “He showed up drunk and he had a flask of some rotgut In his pocket. He was hanging around this morning and I warned him off. Acted dopey, to me.” “Quite right, Hardy.” It was curious, Caleb thought, that Baxter, if it was Baxter, should have come in at the end of the project he had tried to' ruin as an involuntary witness to Caleb’s triumph. He had little sympathy left for Baxter, no re­ gret , at the end of so one-sided a friendship. The way of the transgres­ sor had to be hard and Baxter had strayed too far and too often beyond the pale not to deserve punishment. The thought of him did not accord with’ the spirit of the’day and he dis­ missed i t ' with the fact of his dis­ charge. The guests consisted of the.heads of works, visiting engineers, some of whom had come a long way in pro­ fessional interest, a selected list of stockholders, civic representatives from Oakville — the all-important press, including Tedder, and such wives and relatives of the fairer sex as considered the event worth their presence. Cox presided and introduced the speakers. When, It came to Caleb’s turn a storm of applause greeted his rising, somewhat to his embarrass­ ment. He managed a few phrases, accrediting Cox and the company with much of the meed of praise, paying more easily a glowing, tribute to Hinckley, who w as. to follow him, neatly transferring his own burden of diffidence to the engineer. As he bowed to the renewed plaudits that came with the close’ of his little speech he looked across to where Bet­ ty Clinton sat at the extreme end of the opposite benches. Her hands add­ ed to the tribute, her face was aglow with enthusiasm. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

It was written by John Gay, and was produced at the Nassau Street theater, New York, 174 years ago, January 14, 1751. A large pro­ portion of the 10,000 people then com­ prising the population of New York attended the performance, although there were not a few who protested n vfltnst “the godless affair and threatened “to have the law” on It The Murray and Keene company, a band of comedians who came to New York from Philadelphia, were respon­ sible for the production, which was a benefit Derformance for . Thomas Keane, who personally called on-the leading citizens and sold tickets. The performance began at 0 o’clock and was over at 8:45. One of the lines from this light opera was “How hap­ py could I be with either, were t’othc • dear charmer away.”—Chicago Jour­ nal.

TOUNG PEO PL E AND ADULT TOPIC—W orking T ogether W ith God. Because of Israel’s sin, God per­ mitted them to be brought under the cruel yoke of bondage at the hands of the Midianites. So grievous was this affliction that they hid in dens, caves and strongholds (Judg. 6:2). In their distress they cried unto the Lord and He sent deliverance to them through the judgeship of Gideon. The angel of the Lord appeared to him while at the post of duty. Gideon hesitated. His hesitancy was not due to unbelief but to. modesty and cau­ tiousness. He came from an obscure and uninfluential family (Judg. 6:15). Before going forward in this enter­ prise he wished to be doubly sure that God had called him (Judg. 6:36-40). The tangible evidence was furnished by means of the fleece. Gideon began his reformatory work at once (Judg. 6:25-27). He not only began at once, but began at home. This is God’s order. I. The Opposing Armies (v. I). Gideon and his army arose early on the eventful day of his victory and encamped by the spring of Herrod. Over against them was the host of Midianites in battle array. Gideon's army was quite insignificant in com­ parison with the Midianites. II. The Sifting of Gideon’s Army <vv. 2-8). At Gideon’s call, 32,000 men re­ sponded ready for the struggle. This seemed a small army to go against the Mldianite army—135,000 strong, but. God said even this was too many, lest they be led to boasting and self-con­ fidence. Their real danger was not in their small army but in their pride. AU that were faint-hearted were al­ lowed to go back, leaving only 10,000 . There were 22,000 cowards in that group of men and worst of ail, they were not ashamed to confess it. Still, this was too many. When God was through with His sifting process only 300 remained. The 10,000 were brave men, but not of proper quality and fitness. Those who lapped the water showed alertness and watchfulness. III. God Gives Encouragement to Gideon (vy. 9-15). God commanded Gideon to go down to the Midianlte camp where he would hear something that would cheer his heart and strengthen his hands. God always comes to cheer us when our hearts are faint., When he came near he heard a man tell a dream which was that of a barley cake tumbling into the camp and smiting it. He also heard the interpretation given to that dream which made Gideon to be that cake. This greatly cheered his heart and strengthened him for his work and. caused him to break forth in praise to God. The barley cake is a very insignificant thing—a very cheap affair in itself, but with the hand of God upon it it would be sufficie'nt to spread consternation among, the Mid­ ianites and bring destruction upon their armies. No matter how weak and insignificant a man may be, if God is with him he shall not fail. IV. God Gives Victory to Gideon (vv. 16-23). His attack was unique. The whole matter was of faith (Heb. 11:32). The ground of his faith was God’s Word and the ■ token which He had given him. Gideon with his SOO men. formed into three companies, each man being provided with a lamp concealed with­ in a pitcher. Thus armed they sur­ rounded the camp of the Midianites. They were all instructed to keep their eyes upon their leader and Imitate him. We too are to keep our eyes on our Leader, Christ, and to ever do as He does. At the proper mo­ ment they blew their trumpets and broke their pitchers; giving oppo'r- ' tunity for their lights to shine out. This awful crash of breaking pitchers, followed by the sound of trumpets accompanied by the shout “the sword of the Lord and of Gideon", threw the Midianites into a panic, causing them to fight amongst themselves: 120,000 were thus slain, leaving but 15,000 of j that mighty army (Judg. 8-10). In making the application to our­ selves in tills age, we . can think of the sound of the trumpets as repre­ senting prayer or calling to God; the torches as the light of the Gospel ; the pitchers our human nature, the whole as tills treasure in earthen • vessels Obedience It would make Christian life a great deal more simple tor us If we would get it definitely settled In our minds that obedience is the one thing In dls- cipleship. It is never ours to consider the expediency of any command that Is given to us, or to inquire into the probabilities of success or failure In what we are bidden to do- Tlie mo-: ment our duty is. clear, it is: ours-to. do it without question, without doubt­ ing, without reasoning. The lack of it is the cause of so much indefintteness, indecisiveness, vacillation and weak-: ness In manv Christian lives.

' T ' T H E W O R L D ’S G r e a t e v e n t s a l b e r t PAYSON TERHUNE I© by Dodd, Mead & Company,) The Inquisition ■ “ T HAVE depopulated happy vll- t lages, rich towns and fertile dis­ tricts of my beloved country In the holy. name of religion,” wrote Queen Isabella of Spain In the last part of the Fifteenth century. But the religion of which she spoke was not one based upon the Scrip­ tures, nor upon the creeds of either Catholics or Protestants; nor of • any other branch of the Church of Christ. It was a man-made dogma, with tor­ ture and Intimidation for basis. In 1480 the Inquisition, Or “Holy Office,” as it was termed, was organ­ ized In Spain. The Spanish nation was almost at'the height of its great­ ness. The marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella had united the mighty prov­ inces Of Castile and Aragon. There were thousands of Moors (Mahome­ tans from Africa) and other non-Chris­ tians throughout the country. These were, In many cases, rich and power­ ful. The church feared that Chris­ tianity's supremacy was In danger. Hence the great body of Moors were driven out! and those who remained, as well as followers of other religions, were forced, on pain of death, to em­ brace Christianity. Then the Inqulsi tlon turned its attention to so-called heretics, and Spain gained a reputa- Uon for heartless cruelty from which it has never wholly recovered. At Seville, In 1481, the Inquisition began Its actual work. During that year, in Seville, alone, 298 victims were burned. Throughout all the na­ tion about 2,000 suffered a like fate. Thomas of Torquemada, a Dominican, was made president of the holy office. He and his successor. Cardinal Ximines,' made it a national institu­ tion whose namei aroused panic and hatred In every district Of Spain and aroused even the callous Fifteenth 'century Englishmen to indignation. The Inquisition’s mode of procedure was unique. A man, woman or child was suspected of heresy, seized and subjected to an irregular preliminary examination. Then all the evidence and suspicious circumstances in the case were submitted to a higher body. The members of this, fearing lest their own holy zeal might otherwise be questioned, usually decided against the prisoner. The latter was then'locked up In solitary confinement and a sort of “third degree” was applied to force a confession of guilt and to enroll the victim as a “penitent." If no confes­ sion was forthcoming the most hor­ rible tortures were applied. Most of these tortures were of too atrocious a nature to bear descrip­ tion. A few of the less unspeakable were the “thumb-screw,” the “boot,” the “rack” and the “virgin.” The thumb-screw and boot crushed the fin­ gers and feet, respectively, to a jelly. The rack was an apparatus to which a prisoner was strapped while every joint was stretched and twisted until sinews were tom apart and bones crushed. The “virgin” was a hollow image lined with spikes. The victim was placed within It and the spikes driven slowly into his flesh. In these hideous ways did the Inquisitors of Spain seek to enforce the gentle doc­ trines of peace, forgiveness and love. If the suspect still refused to con­ fess he was carried to the highest court of the Inquisition, and there, for the first time, he heard the charges against him and was allowed to reply to them. Heretofore, he "had had no clear Idea of what particular crime he was accused. The defense was usual­ ly a mere mockery. If the victim had wealthy friends he could appeal to Rome. Thus, while the local Inquisi­ tion confiscated the captive’s property, the papal headquarters also got his friends’ money. In the rare cases of acquittal there was no redress for torture, imprison­ ment and loss of fortune. If con­ victed, the condemned heretic was burned alive. The motto of the holy office was “Misericordia et Justltia”— “Mercy and Justice!" Such horrors drove people from the country by the hundred thousand. In seventy years the hitherto increasing population of Spain dropped from 10,- 000,000 to , 6,000,000. Trade, agricul­ ture, manufactures and all industries were brought to a standstill. Whole districts were depopulated. . ■ - But there is, perhaps, no great evil wlthoht some obmpensating good. While the reign of terror' was at its height a golden gateway of escape opened to westward. America was dis­ covered. In the new land men might hope to live reasonably free from the demoniacal tortures of the Inquisition. Accordingly the maltreated Spaniards flocked thither in thousands. Towna villages and rural districts In the New World were speedily filled by the refugees. ' In considering the Inquisition it must not, for a moment, be Imagined ithat the holy office had the approval of Christians at large, or that it re­ flected discredit on the true tenets of the church. There can be no great, and holy cause that does not some­ where lead to abuses and misrule. So the medieval Spaniards merely used Christianity as an Instrument wherewith to wreak their own cruelty and Injustica And, after all, were their crimes so much more atrocious than the slaying of crazy old women as witches by the pious Puritans of New England or the wholesale slaughter of innocent Mos­ lem children by Godfrey de Bouillon and the-holy Crusaders? up ]V TY asters, my sister-in-law and myself all have IV l families, and for years we have all riven n,„ children Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin.

And the clothes she wears! If there are garments more regal than another In the resplendent ward­ robe of our royal visitor, Queen Ma­ rie of Rumania, they arfe her majesty’s wraps. Upon the arrival of this fair gnest she wore a wine-colored velvet coat trimmed with dark-brown fox. At a formal function given later in her honor the queen was enwrapped In a line effects, notwithstanding the at­ tempt of renowned Parisian couturiers to launch the dolman lines women of smart fashion continue to buy and to wear the narrow wrappy type of coats for daytime wear. That is, most of them do and the “majority rules.” There is one point, however, on which everybody agrees and that is rich fur trims. Scarcely a winter cloth coat but what shows some sort of fur embellishment. It may be only collar and cuffs of fur, such as so handsomely trim the coat in the pic­ ture, but even so, In every Instance there Is' a beauty and a showiness \ everyw here recom mend i t Q strwi-,, .se. sevei’e PuiniI >n my side, feel Cl. *' ,n-v llerves and made me. for -I i'"":er better than I have 2 0 0 iillle^--Mrs. W. a Mason,, • !.Iiirrnld Ave. fal« .!!''ilIers- Write Dr. Pierce, Buf- fcm-iiK,, ior free medical advice.

A Regal Evening Wrap. mantle of cloth of gold bordered with sable. -Another one of this gracious lady's wraps is a Patou coat of sapphire-blue chiffon velvet bloused at the back and lavishly trimmed with blue fox. And yet another of- royalty’s . gorgeous wraps Is a taupe-colored velvet'heavily garnitured with moleskin—which all goes to show that wraps, especially evening wraps, are wondrously elab­ orate this season. Also it is an ac­ cepted fact that velvet is a favorite medium for the dressy coat. At opera and formal occasions our American queens of society are ex­ pressing a preference for sumptuous wraps either of rarely beautiful bro­ cade or velvet or all-fur. When of velvet the preferred styling is that of the dolman of which the about them which challenges the all­ fur wrap to beware of Its fur-trimmed cloth coat competitor. As to materials for our winter coats here is where the fair sex begins to waver between luxurious deep-pile fabrics and the recently exploited suedelike weaves. Very select is the coat of black suede cloth trimmed in elegant black lynx or wolf. Many there are who elect to adopt the neck-to-hem fur revers. Compet­ ing with tills mode is the deep shawl collar of fur. Novel fur cuffs and pock­ ets distinguish the cloth coat also. As to color there Is a growing inter­ est displayed in dark lovely blues, grackle being a favorite shade. Forest greens are also in smart vogue, like­ wise various red tones. While beige is of paramount importance a select <qnsf model here pictured is a representa­ tive type. Often magnificent fur or ostrich is tiie sole embellishment of the glowingly colorful velvet wrap, but just as often the velvet is en­ crusted with a heavy embroidery as novel and elaborate, as that shown in this, picture. This beautiful wrap among the winter collection of Maison Delaittre is of raspberry-red velvet, with embroidery to match. It is en­ riched with a huge collar of gray fox.- In full soft lines is an evening coat of emerald-green velvet, created by Agnes, the collar, sleeves and yoke displaying much shirring, but distln- gt&sbed by an absence of fur. Thus is ’he supremacy of velvet for the evening wrap accented by leading French creators of the mode. * To be sure, It is a woman’s priv­ ilege to change her mind, but what. If she refuses, to do so? In two in­ stances at least she is expressing this season the courage of her convictions, namely the “bob” and the slender sel- houette.' If style promoters are trying, to persuade temininity to abandon these popular modes so far-, their ef­ forts have been futile. As every bar­ ber knows, likewise.beauty specialists,, the bob still flourishes. As for straight tfDflWDELION BUTTER COLOR” A harmless vegetable butter color tised by millions for 60 years.

In 1798 he published a book, “Essay on the Principles of Popula­ tion as It Affects the Future Improve­ ment of Society.” This book demon­ strated the theory that in all time pop­ ulation has tended to-outrun subsist­ ence, leading to the decay of the na­ tion.

Esti­ mates of the amount of Democi a- tic liquor being dispended in sever­ al places around town range from 50 to 100 gallons. Soon there was a drunken, howling mob in and a- round the courthouse. Erom the courthouse basement somebody took a coffin, one of a stock kept for county-home in­ mates as needed, to a corner of the courthouse square, near the new soldier monument; kerosene was poured on the coffin and they danci ed around it and shouted and cur­ sed like demons, using language" both vile and vulgar. Said they were burning Republican leaders. They cursed and insulted' Republi­ cans without cause, and the chief of police and other town" officers made no effort to keep order, or to save from the holecaust the", coffin, property alike all taxpayers. Considerable of a rough house, as described; and fairness could hardly censure Republicans who are reputed to have declared they will in the future have no truck with Smithfield. If there are en­ ough of them, that snonld settle that. But the Eastern News de­ poses and says, as touching on the heart of the matter, that events co'ming before the alleged-utjholy jubilation over Mr. Poll’s alleged oysters and the alleged hooch of Democratic parties not named, that hundreds of illegal - Democratic votes were, cast; specifically, two girls were registered at x8 and '19; George Ross Pou voted in Smitli- field although he had not listened nor ‘ paid any tax in the county since 1920 (registrar said he tele­ phoned to Raleigh and found "pri­ son superintendent hadn’t listed nor paid there (registrar said he telephoned to Raflegh “and found prison superintendent hadn’t listed nor paid there); in one township more votes -were -cast in one- box thau there were names on the.book; and there are dark hints that the people who led- the Democrats are .uot what..they ought to be, by a lot. It was reported that for sev­ eral days before the' election -large quanities of money and whiskey were being used by Democrats here and there, — ■ Compared to the number-" Demo­ cratic in the state," there are not many Republican papers orso very many readers of them, for which reason it seems a public service to pass along such matter as this, as helping to turn on the light.

The statement of Mr. Leak.chair- man of the board of directors, of the state prison, is a remarkable document. One reads it with a gion. The courts have, frequently re­ fused to take hand in settiug inter­ nal troubles in religious cougrega-' tions unless a title to property or a mazemeht. Lessthan three lines * ContractTfeat-Uiay require; legal in- aretrequired to report that Ottojferpretation is involved.'- Tbe Wood has escapted; less than two preacher who asked the aid of the to say that “every effort- is being put forth to effect Wood’s recap­ ture:” Forty-seven lines are re-„ quired to exonerate George Ross Pou the superintendent. From-such a statement it is pos­ sible to gather a. number of obser­ vations, at least two of which are worth recording -It is impossible; for- instance, to understand from the -statement that Mr. Leak -is nearly as interested in the fact- < that Otto Wood has again made a money of the entire prison staff as he is in ,assuring the state that the superintendent is in no. sense responsible. The first con­ sideration -appears, not to the irrepressible Otto but" the reputa­ tion of Mr. Pou. That reputation Mr. Leak seems willing to go to go any lqngth . to protect. Otto may1 wait out a dozen times but that is of little moment besides- the question of whether the superint­ ent shall receive blame. Mr. Leak himself is willing to assure a large share" of the responsibility and to' pass the remainder of it oh the others of his board, but under no circustances. must the state indulge in any criticism of the superintend­ ent or the chief clerk. They have nothing to do with the escape and are innocent as lambs. ' Furthermore, the entire difficul­ ty would seem to lie in the fact that Otto can be restrained^ the state prison only when he is kept in so­ litary confinement. The attitude of tlie-superintendent would appear to" be that he can hold Otto'if Otto is held in a cell but not otherwise. The prison directors doubted wheth­ er Otto could stand solitary confine­ ment indefinitely and were willing to rist him the yard But not Mr. Pou or Mr. Love; they have form­ ally put on record confessing un­ willingness to resk the responsibili­ ty, for Otto when he is tending the boiler. The net result is that Otto has gone'again, th€ reputation of Mr. Pou is successfully defended, the state learns that prison- executives "cannot hold a prison unless he is kept in solitary confinement and accordingly all._ is right with the world. The only fly- .in the oint­ ment is that Otto has made a pub­ lic joke of somebody. If theire is state..- to collect his Efre from a former congregation' is thus ’given opportunity to establish that he was regularly hired and did not re- ceiveall the wage promised; and if that can be established to the satis-; of a court and jury, it is presumed that the plaintiff preacher will be awarded judgment against the pro­ perty of the congregation, in which event the courch and grounds might be sold to meet the judg­ ment. iSomeofthetightwads may cen­ sure the preacher for seeking Caesar’s aid to collect for service in the spiritual realm, where'the re­ ward is theoretically the joy of snatching brands from the burning, with such material conipensation.as may be voluntarily contributed. Church membership implies con version, a changed life, which re suits in walking uprightly, and the straight walk includes honesty, discharging obligations along with other virtues. On that theory— which is not the condition, broadly speaking—church members would keep tne. Lord’s treasury well filled so that there would never be any question about the shepherd’s keep, even if'it was considered permissi­ ble to .do. the ungodly, who de t&rve pnnisiimeut for their sins, But it' is a notorious fact that church credit isn’t good. Members of a prominent congregation in this state I tying to borrow money to pay for the new church, were told by a financier that churches are not good financial risks. Anybody who has iniormation about the fi­ nances of the average congrega­ tion will appreciate that statement. Church membership does not of it­ self mean liberal contribution to church causes, nor is it a guarantee that a promise to pay is good. There is here much sympathy with the preacher who seeks the help of the civil power to compel the congregation for.which he la­ bored, to pay him his wage. Few preachers get more than a bare liviug and many of them a bare living, and many of them don’t get that. If .all of them who have been cheated out of a part of what is coming to them by congregations that haven’t enough religion to pay their debts should uo likewise, there would be many similar suits,.. It is hoped that the preacher mentioned any-doubt on that point, read tbe j wln His actionshould har e statement of- Mr. Leak^Greens-! g good effect morally:—Greensboro boro News. '. — News.

Do the good Democrats in Davie county, endorse such utterances as this? -We don’t beiieve they do. A good Baltimo e Democrat and a Catholic, writes that if the De­ mocratic party fails to nominate Al Smith for President he is pretty, sure he will vote the Republican ticket in 1928 That would be an awful pity. ■__________ By the way. Maine held an elec­ tion last week and elected a' Repu blican United States Senator, which gives the Republicans 48 Senators, the Democrats 47. with one Farmer- Labor member; pretty near a tie. Watch the boys when Congress 'nu ets. So far as we can learn there are several Democrats and Republicans in Davie county who would take a drink of whiskey if it was forced on 'them. And it is not always necessary to force it on the boys. The Republicans don’t sell or drink all the liquor in Davie and we can prove this by good Democrats. There may be more than 18,000,- 000 bales of cotton produced this year in the south, but from the looks of the fields in North Caro­ lina there will not be anything like that Amount picked and ginned. In Davie county there has been ginned nearly a thousand bales less t£an was ginned last year, despite the fact that the county produced the biggest crop in its history.

A touch on his elbow'dlatracted him. from the Incident Burns, the superintendent of cement construction, whispered anxiously. “Feely has Just come through Num­ ber Ofie flow conduit" he said. “Re­ ports A crack In the roof.” Caleb slid out of his seat and drew the superintendent to one side. This was startling news. Caleb had pre­ pared all the specifications for the tunnels.' The-.responsibility'for their efficiency was all his. If the..wetght of the fifty feet of gravel threatened the roof of the conduit any disaster, even a temporary delay for repair, would mar the demonstration. It might be kept private but the stigma would rest on Caleb "professionally. “HI look,at It myself,” he said. "It may be only superficial. If it seems dangerous, we’ll shore with timber Im­ mediately and close the conduit. Number Two will have to supply the Intake. Where’s Feely now7" “Gone to inspect Number Two.” “Good. Walt for my report, Bums. Feely may be an alarmist, though he was perfectly right to report Go back to your seat. I’ll be here again as soon as I can.” He hurried down the road to the gatehouse as fast as he could go afoot The cars were parked and he did not want to draw attention to his sudden disappearance, by taking one. If his absence was marked he .wished to make It as inconspicuous as possible. Hinckley was talking as he left the bower. Anxiety deepened . as he went' Im­ agination widening the flaw while he rapidly went over the details of rein­ forcement and the building of the forms, the mixing of the cement He had followed Hinckley’s ancient exam­ ple and had practically inspected' every wheelbarrow load of the stuff, Impressing rigidly on all hands the necessity for prime materials and ab­ solute following of the formula. He felt certain his figures, his computa­ tions of stress and thrust and resist­ ance- were correct, allowing ample margin. Yet—if the tunnel gave way, the glory of his achievement was tar­ nished. He did not wait for slicker or rub­ ber boots but went swiftly down the ladders, an electric torch $ln his pocket Bums had told him the crack was midway between the filter-gallery gate and tfife forebay' p it With the beam- of the torch boring Into the black tunnel he fairly ran through the film of water underfoot, his splashing footfalls resounding In the confined space, his head bowed to avoid the roof, counting his strides to calculate the dlBtanee. Three hun­ dred yards In he began to spray the roof with light going more slowly. Eighty yards further the “ light be­ trayed the crack! It extended half­ way across the level summit of the top of the conduit and a little way down one of the slopes. At first glimpse It yawned-. ominously, a black split across the gray circle Illumined on the cement Caleb thrust the tips of his fingers Into It, probing. And sighed with sud­ den relief. It was shallow and there was no sign of any bulge about IL It was a superficial -crack to which any cement face Is subject. In -the hurry of final preparation, .when the form boards had been stripped, It had not been noticed, might not have ac­ tually developed until later. The in­ terior surface of the tunnel had not been faced, the grain of the form boards still showed. A board Insuffi­ ciently soaked before pouring, or with knotted-fibers that had resisted the water, might have clung to the ce­ m ent There might have happened to be a small streak with too much sand. In that one spot the tamping might have been insufficient. It amounted to nothing as regards-the stability of the structure.' : But he stayed to make certain, wanting to be satisfied that the rush of water would hot enlarge the fissure. Later he would have It filled but, for today, he needed both conduits' to make an efficient display. Suddenly, while he probed, he be- chnle aware of water swirling about his ankles,-of a hissing noise that rose swiftly to a roar, re-echoing from wall to roof as the water swiftly deepened, eddying above his shoes In a savage rush that tugged and lifted, that threatened his purchase on the slip­ pery floor. Some one had opened the' Watergate from ,the filter-gallery! Against all orders. And he was trapped. By the ladders,- a quarter, of a mile away, the dim light: ’rifting down the shaft showed the gray leap of the ten-foot cascade foaming Into the conduit, the. push of half-a-mlle of solid, water held In the six-foot gallery back of Ife ■ The floor-was slightly Inclined to. facilitate the flow.

Save for the gray light at the bottom of the shaft, lessening as the gate lifted and the water rose In turmoil, he was In darkness. Dp It Came and a swirling lunge almost.flung him down. Once engulfed It would be all over with him. He could not dream of holding.his own for a moment In the torrent which would tumble him, fill­ ing his lungs, and hurl him Into the forebay pit, perhaps carry him on, a sodden corpse, to the intake; drowned, battered, slain In his own contrivance! The details of .his fate, Us helpless-, ness, crowded his mind. Then he was forced to slowly give way, slid­ ing gradually back, pressing his feet Into the angles of floor and sides, cup­ ping his palms against the damp cell­ ing. He thought of the crack. If he could get his fingers Into that he might gain purchase enough to hold fast But he was In the dark. He flung up one band at the risk of going down and It scraped along the top ot the tunnel. Back; back, inch by inch, foot by foot . . . I There it was at last t He forced his finger tips Into the fissure and. braced himself again. It could not be for long. His head was bent, his neck cramped. Soon the waters must reach his mouth and nose—but long before that the force of -the torrent would have swept-him away. The loud lap­ ping of It was confusing. It sounded triumphant, as it a multitude ot water-devlts were laughing at his plight The compressing air made bis ears buzz and he began to get dizzy. There were no vivid flashes of for­ mer life. Betty’s face, smiling at him after he had made his speech, came up once before him. Life had played a scurvy trick on him. It was very dose to the end of things for Caleb Warner, engineer. The icy chill of the water sapped his vitality. Now it gurgled about his lower ribs, al­ most to his heart With feet wide apart one palm splayed against the roof,v fingers of the other hand S He Took Her in His Arms and Raised Her, Limp and Pitiable. crooked into the little crack, he-re­ sisted with all the strength he knew must prove Inadequate. His Jaw was set his muscles rigid. He snarled In the blackness, forced to lean back­ ward against' the force of the mount­ ing flood. “Well, here I go,” he muttered. There was no philosophy In the state­ ment, no . bravado, only the submis­ sion of a brave man who accepts the inevitable. One foot slipped again, was sucked out, trailing In-the tide. But he got it down, battling to the last spark of his vitality, every remnant of energy centered In the will to cling, to fight off collapse Seconds passed that seemed like hours, his brain became a blank. Dimly thought formulated. The water was no. longer rising. ~lt strengthened, his brain cleared to the fact that Bpurred his weariness to hope. Some one was at the gate— closing It He could have shouted as be knew the race subsiding, down to his waist, his thighs, ever lower While the roar lessened, the chuckling ceased, but he emitted only a hoarse croak. Revulsion gripped him and left him weak for a few moments be­ fore he started to wade toward the ladders-while the-cataract lost form, reduced finally to a mere dribble spurting underneath the vertical shut- off. -As he clasped the lower rungs, sud­ den rage possessed him to find the man who had disobeyed his orders. The Wrath renewed an . his vitality and He climbed swiftly" Toward the head of the shaft and the blessed light —A sight met his eyes as his head emerged above, the . gatehouse floor that-sent him vaulting fromzthe shaft over the-plperati that guarded It The wheel- that ’ controlled ,'the J gate was down and,: across the'-coaming of- its threaded rod, lay Betty Clinton, - one band still clutching the rim of the wheel. Hef hat was off .and her hair streamed ISose, framing the pallor of her face,-v One sleeve o th e r white .serge coaj had been torn away and the shoulder ripped. Her flimsy blouse was In shreds,Jh e fair white skin of arm and neck and rounding bosom showed where a rude hand had torn her undergarment He had an Impres­ sion—no more-rof a shadow rising by the door and vanishing. He had eyes only for the girl, consciousness only Of her plight and the knowledge that she had closed the gate and saved him after some desperate fight He took her In his arms and raised her, limp and pitiable. A red blotch on her curving shoulder and'marks on her wrist were already purpling into angry bruises. He called to her, but she did not respond, There was a rough bench In the place and he laid her on It catching down a sweater Jacket from a nail—it belonged to the gatetender, who had gone to get his share of the barbecue—and he' but­ toned it around her before he ran out of the gatehouse for aid. The speeches were over, the crowd getting into their ears ready.to cora- plete the trip. They would not come In this direction, he knew, and shout­ ed at the top of. his lungs to attract attention. He felt that Betty was not badly hurt, beyond bruises and shock, but he felt helpless; not wanting to leave her, not knowing what best to do. There were thousands of gallons of water under his feet but none with which to revive her, save that which dripped from his clothes. A woman was needed—perhaps a doctor. He did not want to take her Into the curious crowd. He shouted again Just as a car broke from the ruck and came down towards the gatehouse. The occupants saw him waving. If they did not hear him, they 'sensed trouble In his pose and the car leaped ahead under the flow of gas. It was Cox, with Bums, coming to see what delayed him. Tlie superintendent had told the president that Warner was giving the tunnel final inspection. As the .car came up. Caleb hailed Cox. “There’s been an accident” he said. “Foul play of Bome kind. Nothing serious, but I want-Mrs. Carqulnea to attend to Mlss Clinton. She was attacked, trying to save me. You know Mrs. Carquinez, Cox, she’ll- be by my car. Get her.” “Wife of the artist? I remember her. Do you want Bums?” But Caleb bad turned back Into the gatehouse. Cox’s driver turned the car on the ramp and the car went back at full speed. Bums halted In the doorway, uncertain at the.sight of Caleb kneeling beside Betty Clin­ ton. The girl was reviving, saying something to him. “No place for me,” Bums told him- selt “I can’t do anything In there;" He turned his back, waiting for rein­ forcements. “You’re safe?” Betty raised her head and Caleb pillowed it on his arm. ; “Yes, thanks to you,” he said. "What happened?” “Oh, Tm so glad.” Budden tears choked her utterance and she began to sqh hysterically. The car came racing back again with Carquines and hls"wife In the tonneau with Marla. Luls Fadllla on thp running board. Iifarla .swept Caleb aside, her eyes resenting Mrs. Carquinez as she loosed a rush. of Spanish'with her arms about her senorita. Betty Clin­ ton fought off her hysteria, braced at the entrance of the rest and sat up. •Tm all right Maria,” she said. “You’ll want toknow what happened. I saw, that gentleman”—she looked at Bums, hovering In the background wtth Padilla—“speak to Mr. Warner. Then you left the tables.” She turned to talk directly to Caleb. - “I thought that.sometiiing had gone wrong, by your face, and I watched you going toward the gatehouse, saw a man pass one of the openings In the screens and follow you. I had seen .him before, looking In from where the food was served, back of where you sat gust before you left He had a beard, he looked rough and wild. His eyes were glittering Ilkb a mad dog’s.

In order- to grasp the story of Sam­ uel's boyhood life, a survey should be made of I Samuel, ch. 1-3. I. Samuel Given In Answer to Prayer (I Sam, 1:19, 20). The name Samuel means “asked of God.” He was given to Hannah In answer to her prayers. In connec­ tion with her asking this gift from God, rite vowed to give him to God. He was to be therefore a Nazarite all the dayB of his life. II. Samuel Given to the Lord (I Sam. 1:24-26). For a time he was cared for by hia mother In the home. The best nurse and teacher for a child Is its mother. According to her vow when she asked the Lord for this child, at an early age she took.him to the sanctuary and gave him over to the charge of Nil, the priest to minister In the: sanctuary. '• 111. Features of Israel’s History In This Period (2:12-36). 1. The demoralized priesthood. (1) They, were actuated by greed (2:12-17). - It was God’s will that those who ministered at the altar should Uve of the things of the altar, but they broke through. the divine regulations touch­ ing this matter, even to securing their selfish ends by-force. (2) Gross ImmoraUty (2:22). The courts of God’s house were thus polluted. The condition of the na­ tion was most appalling: Degradation and ruin foHow ripidly when-God’s ministers are under the sway of lust and greed. 2. An aUenated people (2:30-32). - Their sins separated them from God. God’s holiness is such that those who practice sin are alienated from Him. 3. The- cessation of divine revela­ tion (8:1); The-Word of God was precious In those days. “There was no open vision." This shows that God was silent The message from the Lord was more a memory than a^present experience. The ’same thing in prin­ ciple is true of the individual life today. Some who once enjoyed fel­ lowship with God no longer hear His voice speaking to them. IV. God Calied-Samuol (3:2-10). In striking contrasty with the de­ generacy of the nation, we have be­ fore us the beautiful life of SamueL Dwelling within the sacred courts and ministering before the Lord with HU is the innocent Samuel who is become the savior of his people. In Samuel we have, a Striking pattern oi child re­ ligion. The Lord gave him In answer to Hannah’s player. From his birth he was dedicated to the Lord. WhUe quite young bis mother took him to the sanctuary of the Lord where he served and dept,.. Two traits In Sam­ uel’s character stand out In this caU, namely, his cheerful obedience to the Lord’s call and his surrendered will. He expressed his willingness before he knew what was required. He did not inquire, wbat was wanted-and then let his obedience depend upon Its suiting him. We should believe that the Lord knows what Is best and be wlUing to yield glad obedience to His commands. V. Samuel’s First Prophetic Mes­ sage (3:11-18). Up to this time Samuel obeyed the one who was over him, but the time had how come when he must directly hear and obey the Lord. The first message entrusted to him was a most terrible one. To deliver it was a most trying task. He hesitated to tell it to EU, but when pressed by him he man­ ifested the true courage which was lying back of his fear. It must have been a bitter experience to Eli to see Samuel recognized and himself passed by, but he was submissive. He knew that the slight Was just He. could not fail to interpret it thus In- view of the appearance of the man of God to him (2:27-36)! This fearful visitation upon Eli’s house was due to the sins of .his sons. He was held accountable - for not restraining, them. VI. - Samuel Established In the Prophetic Office (3:19-21). ; “And Samuel grew and the Lord was-with him and did-let none of Hls words fall to the -ground and 'all Israel from Daareven to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prpphet of the Lord;” S u p r e m e B le ss e d n e ss r’As long' as Ive remain ,the ultimate owners and,disposers of our goods we miss the supreme blessedness of.

CoX PUSH BUTTON RUNS HUSE CATTLE RANCH Successors to Texas Pioneer Use Electricity. Menard, Texas.—Otto Carlin lighted a new oil lamp, drew water with a pump, examined one of the new iron nails which were rapidly displacing the oid wooden pegs, and thought it was progress. But he kept a few of the old candles on hand and preserved the old oaken bucket for safety. That was 1877, and the place was the fa­ mous TOO,000-acre Las Moras ranch. Otto’s .assignees and descendants now press a button. ( Magic, lamps glow, inenls cook, chickens hatch, pumps draw water, saws cut wood, sheep are clipped, refrigerators refrig­ erate, grindstones grind, and waffle irons waffle. They Just push a but­ ton. Electricity also is transforming the cattle ranches. Life Moves Faster Now. Life moves with a swifter tempo on the land which Otto Carlin blocked out 50 years ago. Otto would not know the place. Toiling up the valley of the Colo­ rado river from Austin, Texas, in the summer of 1877, an _ox train forded the clear stream of the Llano and, drawing up at a spot on the San Saba river in Menard county, deposited a cargo of lumber and square pointed nails. Out of these Carlin built his ranch house in the desolate waste that was then AVest Texas. Recently the old house was razed and on its site, made out of some of its own timbers, stands a ranch house of a new type—a spreading bungalow with wide- porches and spacious rooms, hardwood floors and oak 'fit­ tings. And beside each polished door is an electric light switch. A strange thing mounted on a truck, having long limber arms, conies along on Las Moras ranch these days. It is a moving “barber shop” equipped to “bob” sheep electrically. Otto' Carlin used to truss a sheep up with buckskin thong and harvest the wool with a clumsy pair of shears, one clip at a time. Now the twinkling blades of the sheep barber can turn out 150 hair cuts a day each. An expert hand clipper, working at top speed, cannot do more than 50 Electricity Does IL - Descendants of Otto Carlin's dairy cows munch food cut by electric en­ silage cutters, give their milk to an • electric milking machine and are com­ forted by an electric fan which drives away*the flies. Mother hens can play barnyard bridge, while an electric in­ cubator hatches their chickens and an electric brooder raises them. Horses are branded by- electric irons and clipped by electric clippers, while elec­ tric irons of a different, type curl the maid’s hair and iron the men’s shirts. Las Moras ranch does not stretch so far away into the sunset as it formerly did, because the 100,000 acres has dwindled to 19,000. But this curtailed acreage produces more wealth than the original 100,000 did. Charles L. Martin owns the place, and his -four sons, college trained, op­ erate it. They have installed almost every modern mechanical device known In farm operations. Witchies Being Sought in German Community Leipzig, Germany.—Belief In, witch­ craft and sorcery still persists In some parts of rural Gerrpany. A wave of the old superstition has been sweep­ ing the little hamlet of AVrescherode1 near Gauersheim, and while there have been no burnings at the stake, life has been made miserable for sev­ eral unfortunate suspects, both men and women. , An automobile was wrecked near the bouse of a supposed witch, and it was excitedly charged that the wltcli had caused the accident by expecto­ rating on the roadway Just before the car passed. AVhen a young girl was taken ill it was averred she had been bewitched and she was shut in a dark roojn for three days while incantations were chanted periodically to exorcise the evil spirits.

Bofile Yields Sailor’s Farewell 40 Years Ago Halifax, N. S.—A farewell message from John Lee, master mariner, to his widowed mother, believed to have floated around the world in a bottle for nearly forty years, has been re­ ceived here. Tho bottle was picked up In the Baltic Sea at the Island of Borkum by a young German cable engineer and forwarded to the Premier of Nova Scotia. It read: < “To whom it may concern; Tell mother I died fighting. John Lee, .Master Mariner, Halifax. ’. It was dated “May 17, *87.” ,The paper was faded gray and the writing very faint, but legible.

New York.—There may be thou­ sands of habitable worlds in the uni­ verse, said Prof. Henry Norris Rus­ sell, professor of astronomy at Prince­ ton university, In a lecture In, the American Museum of Natural History The only planet of which we know which may contain life is Mars, ho said, because it is the- only one on which the necessary conditions obtain. AVithln observation of those on the earth in inter-stellar space there may be planets unseen to those on earth which also hold some form of life. AVater1 air and heat are necessary to maintain life, said Professor Rus­ sell, at least life as we know it. “If this earth were taken away from the sun for a year the oceans would not only be frozen but the atmosphere would be condensed to liquid air wash­ ing on the rocks of a frozen sea,” he said. If all the worlds were considered to determine if there was life on them at least one billion would have to be examined, he said.. “The heavens are literally crammed with stars,” he added, tin-owing on the screen a photograph of a portion of the sky to show the myriad worlds caught by the camera. "Of those visible,” he said, “notone single one is inhabitable. AVhy I Be­ cause they are visible. “That means that they are large and hot, that their heat is such as to be fatal to life. “In such a region there is no hope of looking for life as we know it, but there might exist organized beings purely gaseous,, but that sounds more like a ghost than anything we know.” Hunran Tooth Found 100,000,000 Years Old Billings, Mont.—Discovery of a hu­ man tooth deep in the coal beds of the Bear Creek field south of here has led a group of fossil hunters to believe that a primitive race roamed tills ter­ ritory before the time of the Neander­ thal and the pithecanthropus or Java man of the Pleistocene period. The tooth was found by Dr. J. C- Siegfreldt, head of a party that has been collecting fossils for the Univer­ sity of Iowa and other institutions. It was identified by dentists here as the second lower molar. The enamel had turned to carbon and the lime of the roots to iron. Fossils previously taken from the field indicated^ Doctor Siegfriedt said, that the coal beds had been formed In the Eocene- period, perhaps 1,000,000 years ago. A perfect matrix, or mold In which the tooth was imbedded, was secured by Dr. Siegfriedt, who an­ nounced that he would conduct a mi­ nute examination of the field in the hope of discovering further proof that man inhabited this continent at a time when it is commonly supposed only animal life existed. Oil-Boom Towns “Bite Off” Too Much in Bonds Oklahoma City.—Cities that "might have been” and on which high tax rates were levied after heavy bond is­ sues had been voted are frequent in Oklahoma history. Devall and Pershing, both small oil towns In Oklahoma, were given as ex­ amples by Randell Cobb, assistant at­ torney general in charge of the state bond department. Six years ago oil was brought to the surface in the vicinity of the little village of Pershing. Visualizing a large city in the future, thd ambitious citizens voted a $140,000 bond issue for a water works system. Oil production dwindled and the city’s population decreased.

Washington.—AVhat is the most no­ table thing that man has created? The wheel is accorded first place by Hilaire Belloc, who, in an essay with jvliich he prefaces his pictorial history of the vehicle, glorifies this instrument of man. The volume, which has re­ cently been published under the title, “The Highway and Its Vehicles,” con­ tains more than a hundred reproduc­ tions of old manuscript illustrations, paintings, lithographs and woodcuts, picturing the development of the ve­ hicle from the hammock-wagon of the Twelfth century to some early nfotor cars, which are being raced by horses and even dogs. Wheel Man’s Own Creature. The highway, which has so largely conditioned human history, was made by the vehicle, but the vehicle became possible only through the creation of the wheel. In comparing this discov­ ery with others of fundamental im­ portance, the author points, out that fire was an existing thing which was only captured and tamed by man, whereas music, plastic art, and build­ ing were mimicked from nature, but the wheel is a work alone of man’s ■conception—a fact on which to nour­ ish his pride. Aside from its original purpose of providing easy communication the wheel has lent aid to man in a multi­ plicity of functions: In grinding -his corn; In turning ornaments and the furniture of iiis house; in drilling holes for him; In molding his clay; in tell­ ing him the direction of the wind upon his mastheads; in lifting weights out of wells, and In acting as a pulley for the development of. the earliest sail­ ing craft. , Potent in Modern Science. From these simplest uses the wheel has branched out in one direction after another, supplementing and extending man’s power. Of its recent marvelous extension, the author states: “It gives us electrical energy to use; it transmits power; it keeps time for us; it measures all things from a map to the speed of light; it permits our curious toys such as moving pictures. It endows us with the special use of the gyroscope; it drives our turbines by steam and water; and soon, per­ haps, by air. It even aids us in our vices, and by Its Impersonality and exactitude it makes our gambling reasonably Impersonal.” South Sea “Belles”? He Finds Them Fat! Monrovia, CaliL-The dream of South sea romance has been shattered. The lure of tender graces that has been built around the belles of Sa­ moa has faded into the unsympathetic glare of hard facts as related recently by Dr. Russell Pemberton, Monrovia scientist, In an address before the Uni­ versity club. Most of the maids of Samoa are “untidy," Doctor Pemberton declared, and become very large In early life. On the Island where the observatory is located, there are about 200 whites, 700 half-casts, who claim equal stand­ ing, and a larger, but diminishing number of true natives. The islands, he declared, have the most equable climate In the world. The thermometer was never known to go above 91 degrees, or Ufllow 72 de­ grees, day or night, winter or sum­ mer. Rain affects the temperature more than nightfall, he said. Robert Lewis Stevenson, the novel­ ist, who died and was burled on these islands, is regarded, as a god by the natives, the speakersaid. His eccen­ tricities were so pronounced that they always'attribute divine favor to such persons. New Gold Treatment for T. B. Found at Berlin London, England.—Preliminary an­ nouncements of a new gold treatment for tuberculosis have\ reached this country from Berlin. Prof; Erich Leschke of the medical faculty of the University of. Berlin has been working with a new gold compound called “triphal,” according to the. German correspondent of the medical Journal, Lancet. Injections of one-quarter of a grain of the new compound are administered every four days to patients In various stages of the disease, and it has also been used before performing the operation known as pneumothorax, when-there is a cavity in one lung and lesions In the other. Pnuemothorax is a proc­ ess whereby one lung is..collapsed to give the tubercular lesions a chance to heaL The results so far are encouraging, according to Professor Leschke, but he is unwilling to give out more informa­ tion or make further statements un­ til the remedy has been more com­ pletely tested.

M UCH time-is being given today to the study of heart disease, Tiot- as In previous years to the indi­ vidual case, as to the murmurs, pe­ culiar valve sounds and exadb condi­ tions of a single patient, but rather to what might be called the study of heart disease in the mass. ,- AA’hat causes it, what is its most fre­ quent cause, what age and class- of patients are most frequently af­ flicted, what cases are^preventable and how can they be prevented? These are the questions which are now oc­ cupying the time and attention of men especially fitted to investigate them. In the American Heart Journal a bulletin published by the American Society for the Prevention of Heart Disease, Drs. John AVychoff and Claire Lingy of New York present a study of 1,000. cases, enough to give a fairly good number ot the various kinds of heart trouble. In these thousand cases they found that about one-fourth, or 250, were caused by, or at least preceded by . rheumatism; two-fifths, or about 400, were caused by artiosclerosis or. hard­ ening of the arteries; one-tenth, or 100, were caused by syphilis; other dis­ eases, such as scarlet fever and dis­ eases of the kidneys, caused another tenth, while the rest were due to causes which could not be learned. Rheumatism, which causes heart disease, was generally rheumatism of early life. Only rarely did it occur after fifty years of age. Ninety-five per cent of rheumatism causing heart disease occurred before fifty, and 50 per cent of these occurred before thirty. So it is evident that any ef­ fort to prevent the heart dfsease caused by rheumatism must begin 20 years before the patient had heart dis­ ease. It must begin before he is thirty and before he lias rheumatism. In three-fourths of the cases of rheumatic heart disease, the patient had had one or more attacks of rheu­ matic fever. In one-fourth of the cases, the patient had had tonsilitis. So it conies down to this, that the way to prevent heart disease is by preventing rheumatism among- chil­ dren and young'people and especially people under thirty. And the way to prevent rheumatism in children arid young people is by preventing tonsil- itis, infected teetli, abscesses and in­ fections generally, as well as prevent­ ing scarlet fever. So it’s like the house that Jack built. It isn’t simply preventing something after the patient is past fifty. It’s preventing the cause far back and stopping the cause of that HICCUP HICCUPS, like many other com­ mon ailments, are caused by many things and are a symptom In many diseases. Everybody has them at times and, injthe great majority of cases, they are harmless and tem­ porary; In some cases, however, they are persistent and exhausting. ' A hiccup is a muscular spasm. The muscle in this case is the diaphragm, a muscular partition which stretches from the ribs and the backbone to the front of the chest wall, forming a thick, heavy wall dividing the chest above from the abdomen below. AVhen this muscle contracts suddenly, usual­ ly just as the lungs are being filled with air, the glottis, In the throat, closes as the diaphragm contracts, causing the peculiar jerk. The milder forms cannot be better treated than by following .the advice that Eryximachus gave Aristophanes in Plato’s day. The Greek • philos­ ophers had gathered for a discussion. AVhen Aristophanes’ turn'Cqme to taik, lie had the,hiccups and couldn’t speak. Eryximachus, who was a physician, advised him to hold his breath, to gargle some water, or if neither of these remedies were of any use, to •tickle his nose w itlia feather until he sneezed. The breath holding and the water drinking were of no use, but the tickling did, the business. Aristophanes then indulged in a long -and poetic rhapsody, to the effect that the tickling had appealed to the har­ mony of his body—But Plato, always a hard-headed old philosopher, said Aristophanes had the hiccups because be had eaten too much. That was thousands of years ago, but Plato said alL there was to say on the subject of hiccups. But hiccups may appear in some serious conditions. ,Ah- abscess of-the liver, a new growth In' the abdomen or. the chest, enlarged glands at the root of the-lungs, may, any of them, cause long-continued and persistent hiccups. It is. frequently present in the last stages of.uremic poisoning, In typhoid‘fever;-in hemorrhage of the brain. During the severe epidemic of influenza In 1917-18, some cases .were accompanied with severe hiccups and were known as “hiccuping flu.” It is also found In “sleeping sickness” aiyj In some forms of hysteria. ..Siinple methods are all right for simple cases, but in severe cases more vigorous methods must be tried. Blis­ ters or plasters over the back of the neck, cold applications or strapping the lower ribs with adhesive tape or, In cases- demanding extreme measures, ether, chloroform or morphine may be used., - 7 _ I ■ • W hat Is a Diuretic?

Mother! It’s Cruel to "Hiyacw Your Oiild DR. W. B- CALDWEU. AT THE AGE OF 83 To' Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticel- lo, HI.; a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated infants and children had to be kept constantly “stirred up” and half sick by taking <*athartic pills,-tab­ lets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause o£. nearly all children's little ills, he did not believe that a sickening “purge” or “physic” was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel “regularity” even if the child is chronically consti­ pated. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin n«{-only causes gentle, easy bowel movement but, ,best of all, it nevep gripes, sickens or upsets the most del­ icate system. Besides, it is absolute- ' Iy harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, bilious, sick child gladly takes it Buy a large 60-cent bottle nt any store that sells medicine or write “Syrup Pepsin,” Monticello, Illinois, for a FREE SAMPLE BOTTLE and just see for yourself. Dr. Caldwell’s' S Y E liP PEPSIN this Is posed a short jacket of black and-white-spotted calfskin. Ultra smartness Is the word for thts combi nation. And then there is the sleevelet -Jacket!^ French women are wearlnj them o\er dresses of-matching crept or suede, clotli. • Beige Is a favoriti color.

A lawyer until, in 1919, he founded the^Herald, President Huneycutt of the North Carolina Pyess association, has made a mark in the newspaper field of his state. In 1920, he bought the Netfs' and made the Stanly-News- Herald1 whichremains his hobby. The same year he bought the Troy Montgomerian, later the Mocksville Enterprise, the Badin Tribune and . the Spencer Rail­ roader, since selling the two lat­ ter. He has. lJe.en active in civic and fraternal , endeavors, and at „43 is ratfcd a wealthy man. “Busi­ ness needs nothing more than genuine revival of old-time reli­ gion,” he says. “If we in Amef- iea/lose our health and religion,\ God help America!” Although he had a large law practice, he has never regretted entering the “broader field” of journalism.

The agricultural work of the- Southern’s Development Service takes the form of helpful suggestions concerning farm problems, including methods of cultivation, diversi­ fication and rotation of crops, protection from plant disease and insects, breeding and care of farm animals and mar­ keting of farm products. The effort has been to do this along practical lines. About 75 per cent of the cotton tpxndUs in the South are located along the Southern Railway » The industrial work of the Development Service is that of assisting manufacturers to locate close to sources of raw materials, convenient to coalor hydroelectric power,with ample railway facilities and favorable labor conditions. The services of this department of the Southern are at the disposal of all who are interested.

If you had a nice home free of incumbrance, with water, lights, radio, daily papers, library and all modern conveniences, Wouldn’t you be happy? If you had such a home and conveniences, and a fami­ ly of thirteen children all with you and your wife near you, and pro­ visions and money enough to last for several years, wouldn’t you be happier?. If you had all this wealth and could lie down at night with the consciousness that you and your family had made it by the process of co-operating with mother earth called farming, and that you had not exploited any man or any man’s lobor for a single cent, and that at the same time you had left the earth many times more produc­ tive than you found it, wouldn’t you be the happiest man alive? WONDERFUL FARMER. , North Carolina has such a man. His name is W. D. Graham. He lives at Mt. -Ulla in Rowan county. Mr. and Mrs. Graham started out about 30 years ago on a medium sized farm to make a living, as he expressed it. by "co-operating with the earth, the sunshine and the rain.” They have reared a family of T3 children, ten boys and three girls. All the boys, except one, who is at the state college, are at home, and helping to run the farm. One daughter is at home. Two are married and live in the neigh­ borhood. .Mr. and Mrs. Graham have increased the size of their farm until now the acreage numbers 350. acres of land and ten boys to help him, ought to do some good -farm­ ing. We agree. A man who has so mastered agriculture, and made farming so profitable and attractive that he can raise ten boys and keep them all at home, could do almost anytning. But this man Graham has graduated several boys at col­ lege and still they come back to stay with him.” Now, let’s see about bis farming. We will let this year s • production tell the story. Edgewood farm, owned and operated by Mr. Gra­ ham and bis ten sons, who range in age from 28 to six years, pro­ duced this year as follows: Wheat 2,000 bushels Oats, 1,500 bushels. Barley, 200 bushels for seed. Corn, 1,400 bushels. Silage, 175 tons. Hay, 150 tons. ^ I Cotton, 25 bales on 20 acres. Garden and orchard products, for family use and to sell. KEEPING LIVESTOCK. In the matter of livestock, Edge- wood farm has a herd of 30 pure bred Guernseys, and receives a monthly cream check for $125. after using a large quantity at home The farm is feeding 80 head of beef cattle on an average weight of 900 pounds. The total number ot cat­ tle on the farm is n o head. In hog production, Edgewood has sold 16 head already, and- has 34 more head , to finish for the market. The farm dock consists of 380 pure bred Barred Rock hens. Mention should be made also-of a large flock of Bronze turkeys and an apiary full of bee hives. For power on the Graham farm tractors are used. These are sup­ plemented by five mules and one hqrse; and last, but not least in the way of livestock, just for amuse­ ment the boys keep tour good ‘pos­ sum dogs. EACH HAS HIS DUTIES. ; In operating Edgewood farm, each boy has his duties and respon­ sibilities, and looks after some de­ partment. Emery, the oldest son' of the Graham family, holds the title of general manager. Duncan is general repair man. John looks after the milk cattle. Jack and Delanev attend the I beef cattle. IJarold is at the state college. Ar chie is boss of chickens, Charlie is horse master, Stanley feed the cal­ ves. Curtis, the baby is trip boy, and Mr. Graham manages the hogs. Everything runs smooth on Edgewood farm, and there is a fine spirit of co-operation. The gener­ al field work is participated in by all the boys, and the work goes on both when Mr. Graham is at home and when he is over in Salisbury running the affairs of Rowan coun ty commissioners, and explained that he would remain on the board as long as he likes, for the reason that he has enough votes in his im­ mediate family to turn selection in his favor.—Charlotte Observer. Negro Vote Aided De­ mocrats. H. E. C. Bryant, the Washing­ ton correspondent of the Charlotte Observer, who has been away from the State for a quarter of a century and still lives the old days in mem­ ory, when ['megger, negger” was the only campaign slogan the De­ mocrats had in this State never fails to try and revive the race is­ sue of any and every opportunity. He does not seem to know that one of the bright and shinning lights in the Democratic party in North Carolina, in one night forever de­ stroyed the negro issue in this State. If he doesn’t he might consult a former State officer living in Ral­ eigh at the time, regarding this. Bryant, though unconsciously perhaps, tells in a recent letter to the Observer how the "nigger” aided the Democrats in the recent election in-the north, and western States. ■ Says Bryant: "Political party workers here (meaning Washing­ ton) are convipted that the migra­ tion of the negro to the north and west is not proving to be a blessing to the Republicans. G. 0. P. lead­ ers cannot handle the colored voter in large number. In- the recent election. Democrats assert, negro men and women picked their can­ didates and showed much inde pendence in close districts. "Negro leaders assert that re­ sentment of colored voters against the Coolidge administration of col­ ored voters against the Coolidge administration and congress for in­ difference toward their problems caused the defeat of Republican candidates. They point to the overthrow of Senators Wadsworth, of New York, Ernest, of Kentucky, Butler, of Massassachusetts; Wil­ liams, of Missouri, and Weller, of Maryland. "The apathy and hostility of the negro voters, it was asserted, re suited from the failure of the ad ministration to give any appropri­ able recognition to colored Republi­ cans in the matter of appointments to office requiring confirmation by the senate and of congress to pass any remedial legislation in which people were generally interested. “A special effort was made In Massachusetts to defeat Senator Butler, it was explained, not be cause of anything he had done but to show their feeling against Mr. Coolidge1 who had permitted segre gation to continue in the govern­ ment departments in Washington Active negro partisans snid that Mr. Walsh was supported by thousands of colored men and women.. The success of Mr. Barkley in Kentucky agaiftst- Senator Ernest,, ,was due largelytotbe defection of the ne- gro.."Several months ago pro mtnent negroes warned Republican mem­ bers of congress, that they were planning a revolt if their demands from congress were not heeded; "Surveys made by government officials show^hat the tendency of. the negro voters in the north and west is to split his vote in 'munici­ pal elections large numbers of them support the Democratic candi­ dates.” —Ex. - Dems After Smith. The Winston Salem Journal a few days ago in discussing the Smith peril, served a warning to the politicians of the Daniels, Doughtou, McCall type in this State in the following vigorous language: "If the politicians of North Caro­ lina who are flirting with the Al Smith organization do not take warnining at the action of the Bap­ tist State convention this week, and of the North Carolina Metho­ dist Conference last week, they haven’t got as much sense as we have given them credif for having "It is true that a religious con­ vention should not be turned into a political meeting. But it is also true that a fundamental tenet of the faith of most great relsgious denominations in North Carolina is seperation of Church and State. ‘Thousands of member of these denominations believe that the elec­ tion of Al Smith as President of the United States would be a blow to a principle for which Christians have suffered martyrdom for near­ ly 2,000 years. That principle is the separation of Church and State. Upon it rests the most precious Americans enjoy—the right of every person to absolute freedom to'worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. ‘We do not believe that religious denominational lines should ever be drawn in a political campaign in America. Creeds and doctrines should.not be injected into politics. 'But it is not what should be, Uil what will be that the politicians must reckon with. They are fac­ ing facts, not theories. The fact is that if the machine politicians of New York and other States force Al Smith on the party, they will thereby,in',ect into the campaign of 192S the bitterest religious struggle ever witnessed in this country. It will be a war from which the De­ mocratic party will never recover in a generation.” Within the Means of Everyone 68 YEARS ‘ OF DEPENDABLE SERVICE III ie Foncrel Uornc TDE take care of your needs, 'I whatever they may be, at any distance day or night.

IHth Denounces Use of Drugs Dr. Charles Fredrick Pabst, der­ matologist, professor of skin dis­ eases on the staff of Greenpoint hospital, issued a warning to A- merica’s young womanhood. He declares that girls from coast to coast are destroying themselves and the race in an effort to keep thin. Dr. Pabst explained: Ten million American flappers are doomed to a haggard and anemic middle life by the craze for boyish forms. They are making sure of vinegar-visaged old age. The craze for-flat forms is ruin­ ing the race. Young girls are swallowing poisonous drugs to pre­ vent putting on flesh which nature intends thev should wear. ‘Cancer is the nemesis of the hu­ man race at this moment. To com­ bat inroads of this frightful scourge we need healtny bodies. More than half our girls, the mothers of the future, are rendering themselves unfit by the fight against flesh, which has become nation-wide. "The drugs our young women swallow daily would destroy a fleet of battleships They do not realize that the human body is the most complicated chemical factory in existence. They treat their stomachs as though they were concrete mix­ ers. There can be-but one result “Girls of sixteen pursuing the methods of today will be shriveled old maids at thirty.

The price of ham, eggs,, potatoes, etc., should make the fellow who produces them smile and the fellow who consumes; them frown. The farmer has lost money on his cot­ ton crop this year, but the fellow in town is losing money on every­ thing he has to buv in paper bags. The fellow on the farm is in better shape than the fellow in the mills or factory. A Democratic friend living on Advance, R. I, was in town last week and had us stop his sub­ scription to The Record because we didn't print a long-winded ar­ ticle that one. .Lee Hampton came oyer to Mocksyiile and wrote for the "Winston-Salem Journal just before the election. The article was written about Postmaster J. L. SHeek and we didn’t consider that it was worth the -Space that it Would have taken. The Record doesn’t piint lots of thihgs that happen, in and around the county seat. When a prominent Demo­ crat was indicted fora grave offence we didn't printit. When another Democrat was jailed for larceny we didn’t print it.-: When some of the leading! Democrats were violating the prohibition law. and getting drunk.' and being knocked down Within sight of the square, we didn’t print it. We don’t print all the flews. It is better not to print it. The Record is not. a yellow journal. We could print enough happenings arcjund this town every w£ek:-tq wake up the natives and startra bunch of law suits and pos­ sibly'give the undertakers some­ thing to do. -No'weekly newspaper is going to print-everything its editor sees, hears and thinks while dpjlrll; '|treetl.^>liife;-is short%even ati,tbe best. Why start heartaches and bring .teaVs of sadness 'to the eyes of aged, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters iust to satisfy the morbid' mind of the fellow who enjoys scandals.

Foister who federal. agents, say deserted his wife in Mocksville, left North Carolina on December 1, after picking up MabIe Click while she was en ro'ute to school, and per­ suaded her to accompany him here. The couple was arrested by police here last Thursday night while they were huddled j together in Foster’s parked autonjobile attemp ting to combat the Wintry night. Foster, federal authorities say, had exhausred his moneyj supply and had been unable to find word. The girl told the agents she had no idea Foster intended taking her awav from Mocksville. She had known him to speak to for some time, she said, and had been “ kidding” him about going away with him, when;he told her he'was leaving for North Dekota December, 1. She said he drove past her while she was ,en route to her classes and persuaded her to get in his car. He' then drove from the town and would not stop. The couple admit stopping overnight in Arlington, Va., Williston,' W. Va. Portsmith, South Bloomfield and Marion, Ohio, while en route here. They arrived here December 8 and were arrrested the following night. Foster has been married nine years What The Court Did. The December term of Davie Su­ perior court came to a close Thurs­ day afternoon. Judge Henry Lane, of Reidsville, was ou the bench. This court was for civil cases only, and most of the four days was con­ sumed in trying two cases. The first case on the docket was a suit for $20,000 against the Southern Railway Co., brought by R. C. Hendrix, who was badly injured in an automobile and train collision which occurred at a railroad cross­ ing near Cornatzer last year. The case consumed two days, and the jury reudered a verdict in favor of the Southern Railroad. The se­ cond case of importance was a suit for $46,000 damage against D. D. Bennett, brought by Thos. Hend­ rix, who was crippled in a difficul­ ty at the store of D. D Bennett in April, 1925. This case was given to the jury Thursday afternoon at three o’clock, and they were out until Friday. ^,The jury reported Friday morning tnat they could not agree, and -a mistrial was or­ dered. The case will be heard a- gain at the May term of court. — Other cases of minor imortance were disposed of as follows: G. G. Walker vs K. L. Cope. Voluntary nonsuit.'

C. CHIFFON FROCKS FOR THE DANCE; CLOTH COATS SANS FUR TRIMMING IN ACCORDANCE with fashion’s de- cree, youth will dance its merry way through the coming holiday festiv­ ities robed In lovely, colorful chiffon. Rather than the glimmer and sparkle of paillettes and beads which her eld­ ers select for the adornment of more sophisticated dress, the young girl chooses the daintiest of French flower trimmings—just like Gertrude Olm­ sted, the youthful film actress of beauty-prize fame, is wearing In this picture. Peach-colored chiffon trimmed with French flowers Is a brief description of this delectable gown. But look close; do you not observe something unusual about this adorable dance cos- smartest modes rely on tailored sim­ plicity for chic, rather than upon fur adornment Quality-kind material and patrician styling are the marks of dis­ tinction which characterize the non­ furred coat The all-cloth-sans-fur wrap, often the preference of the ele­ gant Parisienne for Informal daytime wear, usually boasts a cape which tops a straight, narrow, mannishly tailored coat portion, just like this, picture shows. The material is likely to be finest navy bite twifl, although dark green suede cloth Is also finding favor in recent models, while there are some few beige and gray cape types which are without fur. A handsome separate fur neckpiece Joe had lately been running a race, as it were, for Bose’s acceptance of engagements, for her favors. She liked Billy much better thorn she did Joe. She knew that Billy liked her. She knew that Joe liked her, too. She felt that Joe would al­ ways make her very comfortable, would always be very kind, veiy duti­ ful, and that she would always have to be dutiful, too. Of course, that was all right. But she felt that with Billy she would want to make him so very happy, and with Joe, that it would be so much more of a duty. Yet Joe was more reliable, he was less irresponsible, less spontaneous, and so much more exact. But Billy was such a dear! She could label all Joe’s good points. Billy’s were less tangible, but they were there, all right, even if she couldn’t name them. She helped her mother with the last Christmas Eve touches, covered the fire over with ashes, put out the lights and finally went to bed. The next morning she opened Joe’s present first Somehow she wanted to keep Billy’s to the last the way she had done with things when she was a child. There was a little note with Joe’s present telling her what she knew he had been wanting to tell her for a long time—how much he thought of her, what a good wife he knew she would be—of that, be said, he was confident And he hoped she would be of the same opinion about him. He would make her, he was quite sure, a good husband. Then there was a word about the present He had not known, what to give her this year; he lcnew she had all of those things which, as their positions now were, were the only things he could give her, bnt his moth­ er had suggested a very complete sew- ing-box. There was no note with Billy’s pres­ en t Just a card upon which he had written: "I think you like these ‘sugar plum' things. Merry Christmas.” It was a wholly unreasonably large box of candied fruit. Later Billy himself came around. What a dear he was I Oh, yes, BiJly Embellished With Wee Flowers. tume? Yes! That’s it! A bag of chiffon festooned with the same kind of flowers which trim the dress! And a lovely idea it is. Who would attend the dance next week or this without a cunning bag flower-trimmed to match one's dress! Two-toned chiffon dresses are ever so attractive and so up-to-date. This method of combining a light chiffon with a dark tone of the same color Is inspirational to the designer, who Is thus enabled to work out many clever stylings. One very fetching dance frock following out the two-tone idea uses a delicate coral tone for the waist portion with a skirt of deeper toned red. A three-tone effect appears In the border and the girdle of a frock in green. Another way of achieving a two-tone effect is to wear a shoulder bouquet whose flowers are of deeper tone than the dress. Often the chiffon frock is comes not amiss if the day be cold, so madame or mademoiselle frequently carries such over her arm, as you see In the illustration. Women of last-word fashion In the French capital are also displaying in­ terest in coats sparsely trimmed in fur. these directly contrasting the lav­ ishly . befurred cloaks, which have reached that stage of popularity which voids their exclusiveness. Sometimes only the collar shows a bit of fur. The very swagger coat bears a small mili­ tary collar, frequently made of flat fur such as calfskin or broadtail. The long, straight line of the coat is bro­ ken by a narrow novelty belt, some­ times of the smooth, sleek fur, which is attractive. A number of leading Parisian styl­ ists are flaring the cloth coat about the knees. They accomplish this by a circular piece as pictured In the background In this group or by means "Crazy Present I Gave You," Billy Was Saying. was a dear. And they had mistletoe, too, and Billy was grabbing her and was saying: “Crazy present I gave you, but I know you like sugar plums; and, any­ way, I had In mind a diamond rlngj but Just thought I’d speak to you about It first.”Billy had his own ideas. “Sugar plums.” Joe had consulted his moth­ er and there had been a sewing box. Oh, she couldn’t tell just why,per­ haps, but she did love Billy and she didn’t love Joe. Perhaps it was be­ cause Billy was just a dear. “The ‘sugar plums’ win,” she said, and I'd love the diamond ring.” Billy didn’t quite understand the first part of her sentence, but he did the last—and, after/ all, that was all that was necessary!(©. 1926, Western Newspaper IWonJ * Late Paris Modes In Coats. not trimmed, or rather is self-trimmed with floating airy-fairy streamers, panels or draperies. A monotone frock of flesh-colored chiffon, for instance, has graceful, flowing lines, and its col­ oring is .intensified in the deep pink rose at' the shoulder, with a matching one at the girdle. A coral georgette Is accented in color value by means of a deep red rose at the neckline. Not infrequently the two-toned color scheme is carried out by applying vel­ vet darker In tone than the dress it trims. Not every coat in Paris is fur trimmed. Not a few of the season’s of a broad shirred ruffle which Is frankly full about the hemline. Gray suede cloth with a discreet use of gray squirrel for collar and cuffs was the medium chosen for the model here shown. Fur-lined, but not fur-trimmed—at least not ostentatiously so, bespeaks coat elegancy for a select clientele. Sports coats thus fashioned employ in their development' stunning novelty woolens, such as English tweeds, Scotch plaids and similar weaves of highest standard. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

SERVICE CHAPTER XVI—Continued “When I got here he was at the wheeL I was sure then. I shouted at him and he paid no attention. I could hear the water pounding down Into the tunnel and I tried to drag him away. I did once and tried to twist back the wheel but he Jumped at me and we fought He was too strong for me and he flung me off at last He was crazy, beside himself, a madman. It wasn’t Just the liquor. Tm going to drown him,’ he said. tDrown him like a rat.' And he cursed at me first and then—threatened me. “I was desperate. I saw a wrench on the seat and I struck him with It on the back of his head. He went down, staggering—and I got to the wheel. When the roar of the water ended I knew you were safe. I sup­ pose I fainted. You came. . . .” For the pair of them, for the mo­ ment, as their eyes met, there was no one else In the gatehouse. Burns stooped to the floor and picked up a tool. “There’s blood on the wrench,” he said, under his breath to Cox. “Hey, where’s that Mexican going?” “It must have been Baxter I glimpsed as I came out of tbe shaft,” Caleb was saying. "He had Just come to, I suppose, and . . .” He broke off at Burns’ exclamation. The superintendent pointed to where Padilla was running over the plain toward the foothills, head low, eyes searching the ground, like a bound on trail. Something glittered In his hand. "He’s after Baxter,” cried Caleb. “He'll kill him. I’ve got to stop that. Mrs. Carqulnez, you’ll go with Miss Clinton and Maria to BI Nido. I’ll get there later. I’ve got to prevent Padilla committing murder. You Won’t need me, Cox, go ahead with­ out me.” He sprang through the door, hat- less, his wet clothes dinging to limbs and body, starting out to run down Padilla before the avenging Mexican closed with his quarry. That the Mexican would be implacable, deaf and dumb and blind to all but his vengeance against the man who had injured Ia senorita, Caleb knew. Nev­ ertheless Padilla must be stopped from crime and the penalty. He thought more of this than of Baxter as he followed the dusty trail across the plain that led straight toward a wooded, arroyo. Padilla was nearly halfway to the foothills before Caleb started but he gradually overhauled the Mexican. He was furious enough, remembering Betty’s white skin with the bruises on it, her torn garments, to beat Bax­ ter to a pulp. Baxter, he realized, must have overheard Feely’s report to Burns and seized his chance to get even with Caleb. The thought of Betty swift to his rescue, her Intuition quickened, sure­ ly by some tie between them, of Betty fighting With the drunken, crazy Bax­ ter, beating him down with the wrench, Was glorious to him In pro­ portion to his rage. The only thing that curbed his own anger from the Mexican’s Intent to kill was, perhaps, the sight of the . knife Id Padilla’s han<L the sudden knowledge of what penalty the M olcan would have to pay for murder, of Maria and Betty's sorrow. But he was not going to let Baxter off scot-free if he got at him. Only the one thought beat against the wrath that exulted already at the idea of getting Baxter within reach Of bis hands, the remembrance that punishment must stop short of mur-* ler. There Ills New England sanity fought for restraint He had won Betty—he must not lose her. .A Uttle stream sometimes babbled down the arroyo where Padilla, a hundred yards ahead of Caleb still, disappeared In a Jungle of buckeye and manzanita. Footprints of them both were plain in the still moist earth for a few paces and /hen abruptly disappeared Baxter had taken to the sldehlll and the thicker undergrowth. Caleb halted perplexed. He bad lit­ tle breath left for the call to Padilla, he felt It was. useless before he ut­ tered It.'- He stood alert, listening. To hlB right, and ahead, there sounded a sharp crack of dry twigs and he start­ ed off again, buffeting his way through low boughs and. brambles. He was certain that Baxter could not elude Padilla. For years the Mex­ ican had guarded his senorita under the vow taken by him and Marla, that had held back their own happiness and added fuel to a slowly growing bate that, now the time had come, would give deep knife wounds In ex­ change for the bruises of his mistress. Unless Caleb cojild come up with him Baxter was as good as dead. A shrill cry of agony sounded from the dense growth of the arroyo, not far away, toward the head of the deft For a second Caleb stood still, chilled by the crawling horror of that shriek, the cry of a coward facing death. It was not repeated. There wos no sound at all In the hot gulch where no leaf stirred. Then he heard an exclamation In Spanish—“Beina Sanctisslma I”—and plunged ahead through the tangle to come out In s tiny clearing. A live oak grew by a slab of gray reck on which, as on some savage altar, lay Baxter, the sunlight drifting down through tbe gnarled boughs of the tree and gilding a face the color of clay, a dropped Jaw that showed the white teeth amid the untrlmmed beard, eyes rolled up, already glazing, the face In a snarl. Inhuman. Bending above Mm, shrinking back a little with his knife upraised, stood Padilla. He seemed to have recoiled from his deed, while ready to deliver a second blow. Caleb leaped and caught the wrist of the hand that held the blade. Pa­ dilla turned to Mm a face that was hard to read. There was disappoint­ ment In it, slow-dying fury—and awe. “Senor,” he said. “I did not touch heem I gee, my knife Is clean. There Is no blood Upon eet. I did not touch heem I Sangre dl Crlsto, he hear me cornin’, he run weeth his head on his shoulder an’, all of a sudden he put his han’ to his side, he cry out, twist roun’ an’ fall like you see. When I reach heem he is muerte I Deadl Be­ cause he is too much afraid.” Caleb loosened Baxter's collar and shirt, slipped Ms band In over the heart “He Is dead, senor—I mean to keel him myself. But eet is the Jndgment of God.” Caleb knew that it was the "cham­ pagne heart” of Baxter, too long abused, the overtaxed engine of a mis­ used machine, that had given way at last. Fright had helped, no doubt; "Est Is the Face of a Devil—el Aepec- te del Demonlo. Oie wild, pounding, panting run with the knowledge of Padilla swift and relentless upon him with lifted and glittering knife. Baxter had burned out But he did not attempt to mod­ ify the Mexican’s statement. He put Ms own handkerchief over the face. It was horrible—terrible! Tbere was none of the oft-quoted "peace of death” upon i t The eyes stared, glassy and wild. The livid lips were drawn back to show the teeth and tbe snarl that made the features so frightfully bestlaL It was as if the soul of Baxter had departed utterly when he had turned the wheel of Bie water-gallery with murder In Ms heart and now, only the brute that dwelled in the subconscious was revealed—in full. A dead, mad face.. Doctor Fields’ theory had awful testimony here. All hate died out In Caleb. Here was a mad dog—dead. An atavism, self-produced and self-annibilated. "I should hav’ like to keel him," said Padilla. “An’ you, senor, would you hav’ only talk to heem? I weet stay here until you come back. Per­ haps you weel better send the sheriff an’ see la senorita, to tell her the man who hurt her Is muerte. It is better I wait here for the sheriff. Also . . . ” He pointed upwards. High in the blue, swinging In circles that grad­ ually narrowed above the arroyo, soared a buzzard. Even while they looked another appeared—another. "They are queek,” said Padillk,' "Soon there weel be more. The sher­ iff mus’ not And heem disturb’.” Yhe Mexican' crossed himself. “You saw his face, senor,” he said In a low voice—as if the dead could hear. “Sangre dl Crlsto! Bet is the face of a devil—el aspecto del de­ monlo.” CHAPTER XVII Dios Beadiga a Vd. A week later Caleb sat with Betty In the twilight on the broad mission bench in /the patio at El Nido. In tbe big room Stella Carqulnez was at the piano, playing softly. Carquinez him­ self had been forced to go to Golden to discuss a commission. Their child had gone to bed. Mario was softly crooning a lullaby at the far end of the patio garden, putting Mary Mori gan’s baby—of which she had not been ashamed—to sleep. Caleb and Betty were silent. He was trying to find words for what hs wanted to tell her In fitting language, and finding it difficult His emotions confounded him in this supreme issue. The nearness of her, the consciousness that to gain her wa3 everything, to‘ lose her meant all the Joy .taken out of success and life, now and to come, set his heart pounding till he thought that she must surely hear it sapped his confidence. “Betty,” he said at last, “you saved my life. What do you want to do with, it?" She did not affect to misunderstand him. He had known she would not do that There was something estab­ lished between them, a bond that had made their silence filled with magnet­ ism. Caleb hoped that it was love, with her, as it was with him. As hq sat hands on knees, leaning toward her In the dusk, trying to read her face, he felt his fingers trembling. Every atom of him longed fo r, her, reached out for her In an ardor that seemed to belong to another Caleb Warner, lately created. “What do you want me to do with it?” she asked. “Share i t Betty. AU ways and al* ways.” "AU ways?" She had risen, stand­ ing by one of tbe posts of the pergola. Jasmine wreathed." Now he stood op­ posite to her, close and looking down at her upturned face. The curves ol her month maddened MnL He clenched his hand3 until hls nails stung Mfi Aesh, hanging on to himself, restrain- Ing a desire to woo her only with kisses. His reason fought With-MS passion. He knew Betty Clinton wafi not to be won that way alone. Some­ thing ran riot In Ms veins, infecting his being. There was no congealed blood there, for all of Baxter’s sneer, And it affected the girl. He could see her sway a little and he suddenly caught her In his arms. “Yes, aU ways, Betty. Lover and mate and partner in everything. Yofl are the other half of me. To share In all things, Joy and sorrow, love and work. Love first, Betty, and then well go on together with the work that wU| be ours, planned together, done to* getber—and so to love again.” She had not resisted Mm. Her head had lain against his shoulder. She Ufted it, searching his face. Then, even in the dusk, he saw hers become softly radiant, as, satisfied, she raised her lips to his, her body, soft and infinitely human, clinging close t« his. And, for a time, he knew that she was not lacking. in the passion that had possessed him. “We shall go on together,” she said softly—after quite a while—"always on and on, Caleb. Bringing water td thirsty places and to thirsty people? Blending work with love to make all perfect? Anything else would only mean’stagnation In the end.” “I am the Water-Bearer," he said— he was a little Inclined to vaunt In his triumph.' “You remember the sign of Aquarius?” “You must give me mine back again.” "I shall. The two fishes, joined to­ gether with a ribbon. Water-crea- tures, Betty. You and I, In the same element, bound by love.” The music within became louder? ended In a crash of chords. StellZ Carqulnez came to the patio entrance- “What are you two doing? Moon­ ing in the dark?” she queried. “Oh !’■ she added softly, “Honeymooning! I am so glad—my dears. Where are you going, Betty?” “I am going to tell Marla,” she said as she swiftly passed them. Caleb saw tears on her face as she weni through the door. He knew they were tears of happiness. “You are lucky, but tardy,” Mrs, Carqulnez said to Caleb. “I don’t know that you deserve her. You dis­ appointed me last month, at our Uttle celebration." T wanted to finish my work,” said Caleb simply. SteUa Carqulnez laughed softly. “Dios! Once a Yankee always a Yankee! But you’re well mated. Bet> ty—here she comes with Maria, aftefi all.” "Senor,” said Maria, stately for aU her weight, “It is very welL You wlU make my senorita happy an’ she, ah senor, the good God Is very kind to you! Au’ now I am to make Luls happy, my senorita says. He needs some one to look after heem, for he Is only a great child. We shall throw away those two rugs of the puma skeen.' My knees have worn off the hair. But we shall still pray—for two now—perhaps, manana. for more. Qtden sabe? Now she hav’ some one to protect, I,” she broke off into a torrent of Spanish, stooped, caught both their hands and kissed them, vanished into the garden. "She sets an excellent example," said Mrs. Carqulnez. “Adlos y buenos noches! Dios bendiga a Vd,” she add­ ed softly at tbe door. But they did not hear her benedic­ tion. They were quite alone before Elsie Carqulnez had left the-room. [THE END] One Thing Missing The modern home today is supplied with everything except the family. Itnprovetf Uniform International Lesson (B7 REV. p. B. FITZWATER, D.D., Deaa of Day and Evening Schools, Moody Bible Inetttute of Chicago.)(©, 1926. Western NewapaDer Union.) Lesson for December 19 SAMUEL THE JUST JUDGE LESSON TEXT—I Sam. 7:1-17, 12:1- 25. GOLDEN TEXT—Prepare your heart unto the Lord and serve Him only." PRIMARY TOPIC—God Helps the People at Mizpah. JUNIOR TOPIC—Tho Victory a t Miz­ pah. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP­ IC—W hat Samuel Did for His 'People. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­ IC—How the Lord Helps. 1. Samuel Called the People to For. sake Their Idols (7:1-6). Under the administration of EU, the nation rapidly deteriorated. For their sins, God permitted the nation to be bitterly oppressed by the Philistines. Samuel promised them deUverance on the condition of repentance. II. Samuel Prayed for the People (7:7-14). Moved by fear of the Philistines the people besought Samuel to cry unto God for them. Bi response to his prayer God miraculously deUvered them from the Philistines. III. Samuel Judging Israel (7:15- 17). Bethel, GUgal, Miqsah and Bamah were his circuit, to each of which he made annual visits: These centers were for the accommodation of the people. ■'* IV. Samuel’s Farewell Address (12:1-25). . When Saul, the new king, was crowned, Samuel turne'd over to him his authority, and gracefully retired. L Samuel’s challenge to the people (vv. 1-5). (1) A reminder of the way the king had been given (v. I). He showed that they were directly responsible for the change In govern­ ment. Though keenly feeling the re­ flection upon himself, and their in­ gratitude to God In their demand for a king, he had not resisted their wish. (2) Beview of his own administra­ tion (vv. 2, 3). a. Walk from childhood (v. 2). Sam­ uel's was a remarkable life; from childhood to old age -he had lived an upright-and pure life. b. Career as judge and ruler (v. 3). He boldly challenged them to show where and bow he had ever oppressed anyone. ) (3) The vote of confidence by the people (w. 4, 5). It was Samuel's right as he laid down the reins of government to have his record vindicated and to have Ms integrity established beyond a doubt, so that no evil-minded man should ever be able to cast reproach upon him. 2. Samuel reviews God's dealing from the time of Moses (w. 6-15). He reasoned with them concerning the good hand of the Lord upon thetn from the time of Moses. Thpugh they with Ingratitude turned from the Lord and demanded a king like tbe other nations, He had acceded to their request and set a king over them. (1) National prosperity conditioned by obedience (v. 14). Though they had displeased God in choosing a king, if they would fear the Lord and render obedience, na­ tional prosperity would still be given. (2) Disobedience to God meant the nation’s ruiu (v. 15). It is folly to ask God’s blessing upon a nation while it is living in rebellion against Him. 3. Samuel's own vindication (w. 16-19). This was such a critical hour In the history of the nation that Samuel sought to indelibly impress its mean­ ing on their hearts. This he did by means of the thunder and rain out of season. Harvest time was not the season for thunder and rain, so when it came at the call of Samuel, the peo­ ple were affrighted. They saw it as an example of God’s mighty power, wMch if directed against them, would destroy them In an instant. 4. Samuel’s gracious response (w. 20-25). ' (1) "Fear not—serve the Lord with all your heart” (vv. 20-22). Samuel did not minimize their sin but assured them that if they would serve the Lord wholeheartedly He would not, forsake them. The ground of their hope was the faithfulness of God in keeping His covenant (2) “God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you” (v. 23). The people bad rejected Samuel, yet he had such magnanimity of soul that he did not allow their Ingrati­ tude to cause his Intercession for them to cease . 1 He assured them that In spite of their sin their one concern should be to fear the Lord and serve Him wholeheartedly. Pleasure The pastor says: To expect ade­ quate refreshment for the human spirit from mere pleasure Is Uke gath­ ering dewdrops and blowing upon them to keep them moist.—John An­ drew Holmes.

Too much rich food creates acids which clog the kidney pores so that they sluggishly filter or strain oniy part of tlie waste and poisons from the blood. Then you get sick. Rheu­ matism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache In the kidneys or yonr back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage, or at­ tended by a sensation of scalding, be­ gin to drink soft water in quantities: also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa­ ter before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com­ bined with Iithia, and has been used for years to help flush clogged kid­ neys and stimulate them to activity, also to help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer cause irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot Injure; makes a delightful efferves­ cent lithia-water drink, which every­ one can take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby often preventing serious kidney complications.

Mead & Company.) William the Silent A TOXJNG man—scarcely move than a boy—tall, dark, strikingly hand­ some, stood listening to a plan out­ lined to him by Henry H of France, to whose court he had been sent as hostage by his sovereign. Emperor Charles V of Germany. Henry's plan was of a somewhat alarming nature, for It involved Hie massacring of all the Protestants in France and the Netherlands. Tet the young man, himself a Netherlander, gave no sign of the horror he felt, and spoke no word to put the wily French king on his guard. For this bit of discretion he received thereafter the nickname of “William the Silent,” although his nature was open, frank and far re­ moved from taciturnity. “William the Silent," prince of Orange and count of Nassau, was born In the Netherlands In 1533. As a youth he attracted the favor of Charles V, who taught him war anil statecraft On Charles’ abdication the retiring monarch’s son, Philip I, became king of Spain and of the Netherlands. He was cold-blooded, bigoted and stupid; the exact op­ posite of his great father. The Dutch states making up the Netherlands had even In Charles’ time resented royal authority, and it had required all the old emperor’s tact and state­ craft to keep them pacified. Now, un­ der the new king, they again grew restive. To make things worse Philip ordered a branch of the cruel Inquisi­ tion established in Holland. This raised a storm of angry protests, and Philip sent the bloody duke of Alva with an army into the Netherlands to enforce order. Enraged by the oppression of his countrymen, William the Silent raised an army to oppose Alva; but the dull Dutch burghers were not yet ready for so radical an act, and William had to disband his forces for lack of sup­ port. In no way discouraged, he hit on a new plan for harassing the hated Spaniards. By advice of Admiral ColIgny of France he Issued “letters of marque,” authorizing Dutch priva­ teers to prey ori Spain’s ships and sea- coast. These privateers banded to­ gether nnder the nickname of the “Beggars of the Sea." They did in­ calculable damage to Spanish com­ merce and for years made their name a terror to all their country’s foes. In 1572 the Dutch again revolted against Spanish tyranny and made William their stadtholder, or gover­ nor. Tet1 warned by his former fail­ ure, he saw that the people were not yet ready for absolute freedom; so he simply ruled in the name of King Philip. Spain increased its oppres­ sions and war followed. William’s two brothers were slain in battle, and at one critical juncture he ordered the dikes broken down that kept out the sea from the low-lying Netherlands and the country flooded to save it from falling Into the enemy’s hands. Phil­ ip’s armies besieged Leyden, but Wil­ liam drove them away and raised the siege. At last the time for freedom was ripe. Through William’s efforts a number of -the Netherland provinces combined, drew up and signed a dec­ laration of independence, with the avowed purpose of driving out the Spanish and forming a free and united country where all religious sects should be at liberty to worship God in their own way. Thus the United Netherlands was founded. In 1581 allegiance to Spain was for­ mally renounced. William, the prime mover and central figure In the revolu­ tion, had devoted/his entire life to this one great purpose. Tet when It was accomplished he would not make him­ self king of the newly created nation, but contented himself with governing It m der the less pretentious title of “count.” Philip, seeing that William was the backbone of the entire revolutionary movement, hit on a most characteristic plan for wrecking the union of the provinces. Instead of sending armies at once to attack the revolutionists or to ravage their country In true medie­ val Spanish style, he merely issued a proclamation offering a huge sum of money for the murder of William. Even In the country William had freed there were many scoundrels ready and eager to win the reward. Attempt after attempt was made .to k;ill him, and for the last three years of his life the Liberator was in con­ tinuous danger of death. Undaunted by this new peril and the black Ingrat­ itude It involved, William continued calmly on his way. But, though threatened men live long, the end came all too soon for the welfare of the United Netherlands. On July 10,158£^a man named Balthazar Gerard, actuated by desire for the blood-money promised by Philip, en­ tered William’s house and shot him. Philip had conquered, In so far as he had rid himself of an Invincible foe. But the Independence that Wil­ liam the Silent had won for Holland has remained to this day. The ex­ ample In disinterested patriotism, statesmanship, honesty and justice that he set to the whole world served as a guiding star to many another sorely perplexed ruler In those dark corrupt days. W1Hliam the Siient’s- character and career bore a striking resemblance to those of George Washington, the re­ semblance being further carried out in the former’s affectionate nickname of “tbs Father of the Netherlands.” ' RATTLING AUTOS HIT BY LEADERS Dilapidated, High-Power Junkers Denounced. Collegiate flivvers and their rattling equivalents under any other name may have just the right amount of verve to suit some branches of the younger generation, but they have too little braking capacity to strike the fancy of traffic officials, motor-elub leaders and others in many parts of the country. The same goes for a class of automobiles that has been described as “high-powered, dilapi­ dated junkers," which right now are coming In for some sharp denuncia­ tion. The latest to enter the arena against this type of car and car own­ ers is the Motor Club of Indiana, Disdain Smaller Cars. “A certain class of motorists dis­ dain smaller cars, whether new or old, and buy machines that once were high-priced and elegant," says Mr. Stoops. “Such cars, even in a dilapi­ dated condition, still have plenty of power as long as they will run. “Tinkering mechanics will go to junk yards and pick out an old auto­ mobile which may be bought for $25 up to about $200. AU the purchaser wants Is for the machine to go. It Is immaterial to him If the automobile is about to fall to pieces. He seem­ ingly does not care for his own safety "or the safety of others. Maybe the car has no brakes, but the purchaser of automobile junk is not particular. “It Is hard to determine which Is the greater menace to safety—the pile of rusty automobile junk or the one who drives It—and some means to rid tlie country of this risk should be devised. “Compulsory insurance would not help. It would probably Increase the number of junkers on the streets and make the careless driver more care­ less “The type of driver who leans to high-powers would probably enjoy a vacation In a hospital with all bills paid by some insurance company and the knowledge that his car would be paid for by the same insurance com­ pany. And the insuring of junkers would cause Insurance rates to soar to prohibitive heights for the careful driver who keeps his car In good me­ chanical condition as a safety meas­ ure “Some law might be enacted requir­ ing drivers of cars of a certain age to post a bond for the benefit of per­ sons they might injure or property they might damage, or a law might bo enacted making it unlawful to sell an automobile without first placing It In good mechanical condition. Such leg­ islation would be constructive and a great aid in eliminating accidents.” Motor as a Road Market Is Big Boon to Farmers The automobile is evolving another boon for the farmer — the roadside market. Its potentialities are so great that the farmers of New Jersey are creating a standard farmers’ road­ side association, with the support of the state department of agriculture Last year the state had 132 of these roadside stands, and the Income from them was estimated at $305,000. The system already has proved that it has great possibilities and gives promise of solving the vexed problem of bringing the products of the farm­ er directly to the table of the city consumer, fresh and free of the mid­ dlemen’s toll. The system Is also winning distinct success in Maryland, where last year 100 roadside stands did a business of $257,000, and other states are rapidly taking It up. The New Jersey association will be under the regulation of the bureau of markets of the state department of agriculture and will attempt to form a direct contact between the farmer and the consumer. Accidents at Crossings Fifty accidents on public crossings during the first three months of 1926 were reported to the state highway commission by railroads operating In Wisconsin. These accidents resulted In the death of 14 persons and in­ juries to 26 persons. Automobiles were involved In 37 of the accidents and In these eleven persons were killed and 19 injured. Trafiic Chief Annoyed by Many Sloppy Drivers All Milwaukee traffic policemen have been instructed to be on the alert for what the traffic bureau de­ scribes as “sloppy drivers.” A “sloppy driver,” according to the bureau, Is the type of driver who cares nothing at all for the other fellow’s rights. He will make left turns from the right side of his half of the street and right turns' from the left side, without a thought for the motorist who happens to be following him. If the man behind is speeding up to pass at the time the “sloppy driver” is making a left turn In his celebrated fashion, an accident involving injury and possibly death is almost sure to occur. Another manner in which this type of driver makes life miserable for his fellow men is by hogging the road, says the bureau. “I have noticed many drivers straddle the right rail of the car tracks,” said Capt. Albert J. Murray. “This ties up both lanes of traffic.” Everything possible has been tried In an effort to educate a motorist in better driving, and Captain Murray states that it is time to take action which will force them to drive accord­ ing to the rules of the road. Locking Radiator Caps Thwarts Petty Thieves Eadiator caps of automobiles that are fitted with thermometers for reg­ istering the temperature of the cool­ ing system, and for giving warning of overheating, are expensive enough to attract the attention of the “doormat” type of thief. A simple protective measure consists In attaching a short length of light brass chain to the in­ strument and the radiator-filler tube, COPPERBlVETANDWASHER LENSTH OF BRASS OHAIN Radiator Cap Locked. In such a way that the cap can be unscrewed for filling the radiator, but cannot be dropped or carried away. A brass clip is cut to the form shown and screwed underneath the nut that holds the thermometer to the radia­ tor cap. One end of the chain is fas­ tened to this clip, and the other Is riveted to the neck of the radiator. While it is possible to cut the chain with a pair of wire-cutting pliers, the thief, finding the cap secured, will more than likely seek easier booty.— Popular Mechanics Magazine. Balloons on Car Tracks Just Right for Skidding Drivers of cars with balloon tires should be particularly careful when turning In and out of car tracks. Many of the balloon tire sizes now being used are not immune to a rail skid. When balloons were first introduced it was the rule to demonstrate them with the larger sizes and with lower pressures than are advisable for eco­ nomical service. The larger sizes will not catch in car tracks, even if the lat­ ter are In rather bad condition. The same may be said of some of the smaller sizes when underinflated. The best policy is to drive one’s car in ac­ cordance with the sizes of the tires used and tlie pressures carried, rather than on a basis of past performances With other sizes underinflated. Bushings, for Bearings On most makes of cars the bush­ ings for bearings are made of anti­ friction metal. The advantage of using soft metals is that if the bear­ ing became too tight no injury would be done to the shaft around which the bushing was fitted, the bushing taking all the wear. Another reason is that If there were several high spots on the bushing surface, causing Increasing beat at those points, the bushing would not be so apt to seize, but would yield, producing a more even surface. BRITISH RACING CAR ALMOST RAN AWAY IlIiiIIiiIHItii The photograph shows a British .racer, built In secrecy, which almost ran away from Maj. H. O. Seagrave, when the feeding gear control parted witb the carburetor, while going about 154 miles per hour. He averted an accident by going at that pace for nearly a mile before he could stop it by cuttlne off the ignition. This photograph shows the racer, christened “Hush, Hush No I ’• ■ because it was built in such great secrecy, which Is expected to break tha' world’s speed records. (X X X X X > 00000< X )0000000000000 HOW TO KEEP WELL DR. FREDERICK R. GREEM Editor of "HEALTH” oooooooooooooooooooooooooo ((& 1926, Western Newapaper Union.) 4 GALLSTONES UTSIDH o f infectious diseases, U probably one of the commonest afflictions of the human body is gall­ stones. On account of civilized meth­ ods of living they are commoner than they were In primitive times. But that they are by no means a product of civilization is shown by the fact that they have repeatedly been found In Egyptian mummies as well as In the dried bodies of Peruvians, burled In dry sands thousands of years ago. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped sack which lies on the surface of the liver in a cleft between the lobes. It Is bound down to tlie liver by layere of peritoneum. Its pointed end is drawn out Into a long tube, the cystic duct, which joins another tube from the liver, the hepatic duct, the two uniting to form the common duct, which empties into the small intes­ tines just below the stomach. If for any reason any part of the tube becomes stopped up, If the gall­ bladder Itself becomes Inflamed, then the bladder becomes swollen and dis­ tended and can. be felt as a pear- shaped tender swelling just under the edge of the ribs on the right side. Why stones so commonly form In the gallbladder has been hotly dis­ cussed. The bile, in some cases, Is thick, almost tarlike and easily forms hard lumps if it has anything to form around. According to some authori­ ties, germs from the blood, getting into the bladder, grow there on ac­ count of the favorable conditions found there and masses of these germs form a center around which a gall­ stone grows In layers. These stones may be single or many. Sometimes at operation or au topsy, the gallbladder may feel like a boy’s sack of marbles. So long as they stay In the bladder they do little or any harm. But when one tries to pass out through the nar­ row duet, the tronble begins. The duct Is stretched by the rough, hard stone. This causes gallstone colic, perhaps the most painful of all hu­ man ills. It lasts nntil the stone passes out into the bowel or drops back Into the bladder. If the stone works down Into the common duct and dams off the liver, then the bile cannot escape but Is taken up by the blood and the patient has yellow jaundice or “janders” as the public call It. The only sure relief for either colic or jaundice Is to open and drain- the bladder and remove the stones. ACNE O NE of the bitterest sorrows that can afflict the boy or girl of tlie blgh-school age Is a poor complexion. Probably more mental anguish has been caused by pimples on the face than by any other cause. And, sad to say, pimples or acne, as dermatolo­ gists call It, is more common from fourteen to eighteen than at any other time In life. It reaches its peak at eighteen, gradually fades away In the !twenties and usually disappears by thirty. But by that time the girl Is married and the boy has business wor­ ries, so that a muddy complexion Is not the acute tragedy it Is at eighteen. In former days parents gave thelt children sulphur and molasses to “cool their blood,” the eruption on the skin being supposed to be due to “impuri­ ties” in the blood, for which sarsapa­ rilla was the sovereign remedy. But the real cause lies In the skin itself. There are in the skin several differ­ ent kinds of glands. The oil glands or sebaceous glands, as they are called, keep the skin soft and supple, by secreting oil, which is discharged on the skin through tiny oil ducts. Naturally, persons with a thick, oily skin or those wl|o eat large quantities of fat-producing food produce the largest quantities of oil. As long as these little oil ducts are kept open the oil flows out on the skin. This keeps the skin oily, as many a schoolgirl knows when she powders her nose to remove the shiny appearance. But if the oil Is thick, and so tends to choke up the oil ducts, or if soot, dirt or -powder unite to form a thick paste with the oil, tlfen the ducts become stopped up and “blackheads” form. The oil forming behind these plugs cause the skin to swell and turn red and little pimples to form. Taking medicine internally is of no use. What is needed is ex­ ternal treatment which will open up the clogged ducts. The best treatment Is the good old- fashioned one of soap and water— soap to dissolve the oil In the plugs closing the ducts, water to wash away {he oily dirt and to cleanse the skin. But the,skin of the face is not made of hard wood. You can’t scrub it like a floor. The skin must be cleansed but not Irritated. Regular frequent washing of the face with a soft big wash cloth and a pure, mlid soap and pure soft water, 'followed by floods of cold water to stimulate the skin, is the best treat­ ment. A pure skin cream may help In dry, harsh skins, but generally per­ sons with acne have too much oil In their skins already. Wash your face clean every night with plenty of warm water and your skin will soon takr care of ltsel£ A CHILD Bfigj LAWfiH ANO P[j| IF COHSTiPflxji Look, Mother!

C. Picking Up Rides. The practise, especially among t^e young people, of 'picking up rides along the. highways is dan­ gerous to both the seeker of the ride and driver of the car. When a stranger gets into an automobile he takes as much chance as does the motorists who admits him. If all,people were honest, and if all motorists were sober and careful drivers, there would still be risk taken. In some jurisdiction it is held that the driver is responsible .for any damage done to the person Whoiu he admits to the car though hfc does so from friendly and help­ ful motives.

ToThe Davie Record-I notice a few items in your paper about the nice porkers some of the Davie county farmers are killing this fall, so I thought I would write a little about two I killed Saturday, Dec. 3rd. They were just a little past 1 year old. The two that we butch­ ered weighed t ,310 lbs. I- will ask iow they compare with Davie county porkers. I sold one. from the pole for $75.35 and we have a lot full of the same kind. We fell that we can raise porkers in Indiana. We want to ask some of our Davie county friends how the above figures and pounds compare with theirs. People in this com­ munity are about done- husking oorn, and I will also send some pro­ duce prices along with my letter. Chickens 22c. a lb., eggs 65 c. doz- en, corn 45 c. a bushel, hogs on foot $11.50 to $12 75, milk per 100 lbs. $2.25. How does these prices compare with; yours. Mr. Editor, we are more than glad that we subscribed for The Record. It is lust like getting a letter from home I used to be one of your old friends 22 years ago. C. D. WHITE ..-ould were 110 Santa Claus! It Would he as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry no romance to make toler­ able this existence. We should have no employment, except in Sense and sight. The eternal light vrivh which childhaod fills-the world would be extinguished. “Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in faries! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas e.ve to catch Santa but even if-they did not see Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies danc­ ing on the,lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby's rat­ tle and see what makes the noise inside; but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man nor the united strength of the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beau­ ty and glory beyond. It is all ieal? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and a- biding. “No Santa Claus! Thank God; he-lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten, times ten thousands years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.” T H I N G S A R G H £ R 6 n i l v t M AN’S STOR FOR A MAN’S GIFT i-# i ■in ...........................

Thousands of dollars have been spent by Davie county people dur­ ing the past month in nearby towns and cities. Much of this.,money was spent for goods that could have been purchased- in Mocksville for less money.

Our read­ ers as well as the office force, need a week’s vacation. Tfaenewspaper business is unlike most other enter­ prises. For fifty-one weeks in the year the paper must come out on time regardless of sickness or death, heat waves, ^ero weather, sunshine or storm. It is a steady grind for fifty-one weeks with no summer, fall or spring vacations.. I The-Record has made many mis­ takes during 1926 and will make many more during 1927, but we are human like other folks, and do not figure on reaching a state of perfection. Onr friends are asked to overlook our shortcomings, and withhold their severe criticisms as much as possible. We have, during the twenty years as editor and owner of The Record done everything in. our power-for the upbuilding of our town and county. The Record has been a booster and not a knock­ er. Thousands of the better class of people in the- county have read our paper and stood by us since we have-been in the county, and it is needless to say tnat we appreciate theirloyalty more than cold type, can-tell.

To the people of Mocksyille .and Davie county. ' " Greeting:—On _ December 27, 1888 , Mrs. CashwelI and I, with two little children—Bertha, three years and Roy a month and a half old, landed in Mocksville. We had come to stay. Many days have passed since then, Many changes we have seen Yet have been upheld till now, Who could hold us up but Thou.” For eleven, of the thirty eight years, Mocksville was our home Not a" year has pussed, however, bat that I have been in the county, serving churches, assisting in meet­ ings, visiting friekds and the sick, burying the dead, marrying young people, yes, and sometimes some of the old people. Isn’t it funny that even old people want to get mar­ ried. Haven’t we had a good time? So much of plenty, peace, plea­ sure and prosperity. So little of sickness, sorrow, suffering and sadness. The lines have, indeed fallen onto us in pleasant places. Ours is and has been such a goodly heritage. I am glad, that in the providence of God, the path of duty leads through Davie county. People of Davie—I greet you, you have been good to me. “ Bless­ ed be the Lord God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise ye the Lord.” C. S.

Y T fe G lR L in th e M I R R O R S EIizaboth (Jordan STORY FROM THE START Laurie Devon, successful play­ w right, hut somewhat Inclined to wildness, attends the wedding of his sister, Barbara, to whom has been left the great Devon fortune. Laurie had been a gay young chap, but for the last year he has been-toeing the mark, through the efforts of Barbara. Laurie, who Is wealthy, refuses to settle down to work, announc­ing his Intention of resting and seeking adventure. CHAPTER II—Continued Laurie grinned, and the grin infuri­ ated Bangs. He whirled away from it. A footstool impeded his progress, and he kicked it out of tlie way with large abandon. It was his habit to rush about a room when he was talk­ ing excitedly. He rushed about now; and Laurie lit a cigarette and watched him, at first angrily, then with a grow­ ing tolerance born of memories of scenes in their plays which Bangs had thrashed out In much this same man­ ner. The world could never be wholly uninteresting while Bodney pranced about in it, cutting the air with ges­ tures like that "Here I am.” snapped Rodney, "ready with my play, the best plot Tve had yet. Ton won’t let me even men­ tion it to you. Here’s the new season. Here’s Epstein, sitting on our doormat with a check-book in each hand, wait­ ing to put on anything we give him. Tou know he’s lost a small fortune this fall. Ton know it’s up to us to give him a play that will pull him out of the hole he’s In. Here’s Haxon, the best director In town, marking time and holding off other managers fit the hope that you and I will get down to business. And here you are, the fellow we're all counting on—” He stopped for breath and adjectives. “Tea,” Laurie politely prompted him. "Here I am. What about it? What am I doing?” “Ton know d—d well what you’re doing. You’re loafing I" Bangs fired the word at him as if it were a shell from a Big Bertha. "You’re loafing till It makes us all sick .to look at you. We thought a week or two of it would be enough, when you realized the con­ ditions ; but It’s gone on for a month; and. Instead of getting tired, you’re getting more and more into the loafing habit. You abuse time till It shrieks In agony.”- “Good sentence,” applauded Laurie. "But don’t waste it on me. Put it into a play.” Bangs seemed not to hear him. He was standing by the room’s one Winr dow, now, staring unseeingly out of it, -Here I Am,? Snapped Rodney. his hands deep in his pockets, taking In the knowledge of the failure of bis appeal. Under the realization of this, he tossed a final taunt over his shoul­ der. “I can forgive the big blunders a man makes In his life,” he muttered; "but I haven’t much patience with a chap that lies around and shirks at a time like this I” Laurio removed the < half-smoked cigarette from his month, and' not find­ ing an ash tray within reach, carefully crushed out its burning end against the polished top of the dressing case. He had grown rather pale. "That will be about all, Bangs,” he said- quietly. “What- you and Epstein and Haxon don’t seem to remember is Jnst one thing. If you don’t like matters as they are, it’s mighty easy to change them.' It doesn't take half a minute to agree to dissolve a part­ nership.” "I know.” -HanSa returned to his chair, and, dropping limply into it, his WNU Service hands still In his pockets, stared de­ spondently at his outstretched legs. "That’s all It means to you,” he went on, morosely. “Our partnership is one In a thousand. It's based on friend­ ship as well as on financial Interest., If I do say it. It represents a combi­ nation of brains, ability, backing and prospects that comes only once In a lifetime, if it comes at all. Yet In one year you’re sick of it, and tired of work. You’re ready to throw it all over, and to throw over at the same time the men whose interests are bound up with yours. You're dawdling in cabarets and roadhouses and res­ taurants, when you might be doing Work—” Bangs’ voice capitalized the word—“real work,” he added fiercely, “work other fellows would give their souls to be able to do." He ended on a flat note, oddly unlike his usual buoyant tones, and sat still as if everything had been said. Laurie lit a fresh cigarette, drew In a mouthful of smoke, and exhaled it in a series of pretty rings. In his brief college experience he had de­ voted some time to acquiring this art. Admiringly watching the little rings pass through the big rings, he spoke with studied carelessness. “It was a pretty good scene, Bangs,” he said, “and It showed careful re­ hearsing. But It would be a lot more effective if you had a real situation to base it on. As it is, you're making a devil of a row about nothing. I worked like a horse all last year, and you know it. Now I’m resting, or loaf­ ing, if you prefer to call it that, and” —he bit off the words and fairly threw them at his friend—“It will save you and Epstein and Haxon a lot of men­ tal wear and tear if yon will mind your own business and let me alone.” Bangs raised his eyes and dropped them again. 'You are our business,” he somber­ ly reminded his partner. ‘Tve got so I can’t work without you,” he added, with a humility new to him. ‘You know that. And you . know I’ve got the plot. It’s Yeady-great Sebtt, it’s boiling In me I I'm crazy to get It out. And here Fve got to sit around watch­ ing you kill time, while you know and I know that you’d be a d—n sight hap­ pier if you were on the job. Good Lord, Laurie, work’s the biggest thing there is In life! Doesn’t it mean any­ thing at all to .you ?” “Not just now.” Laurie spoke with maddening nonchalance. “Then there’s something rotten In you.” Laurie winced, but made no answer. He hoped Bangs would go on talking and thus destroy the echo of his last words, with which the silent room seemed, filled. Bnt nothing came. Rodney'S opportunity had passed, and he was lost In depressed realization of his failure. Laurie strolled back to the mirror, his forgotten tie dan­ gling in his hand. “We’ll let it go at that,” he said then. “Think things over, and make up your mind what you want to do about the contract.” . “All right.”' Bangs replied In the same flat notes he had used a moment before, and without changing his position; but the two words gave Laurie a shock. He did not believe that either Rodney or Epstein would contemplate a dissolu­ tion of their existing partnership; but an hour ago’ he would not have be­ lieved that Rodney Bangs conld say to him the things he had said just now. He was beginning to realize that he had tried bis partners sorely In the month that had passed since his re­ turn to town; and all for what? He himself had brought out of the foolish experience nothing save a tired nerv- i system, a sense of boredom such he had not known for a year, and,' IiecIally when he looked at Bangs, an acute mental discomfort which in­ trospective persons would probably have diagnosed as the pangs of con­ science. Laurie did not take the trou­ ble to diagnose it. He merely resent­ ed it as a grievance added to the su­ preme grievance based on the fact that he had not yet even started on the high adventure he had promised himself. He was gloomily considering both grievances, and tying his tie with his usual care, when something in the mirror caught and held his attention. He looked at it, at first casually, then with growing interest In the glass, directly facing him, was a wide studio window. It was open, notwithstand­ ing the cold January weather, and a comfortable, middle-aged, plump worn-, an, evidently a superior type of care­ taker, was sitting on the sill, polishing an inner pane. The scene was as vivid as a mirage, and It was like the mi­ rage in that it was projected from some point which Itself remained un­ seen. Laurie turned to the one window the dressing-room afforded—a double French window, at his right, but a lit­ tle behind him, and reaching to the floor. Through this he could see across a court the opposite side of his own building, but no such window or com­ monplace vision as had just come to him. In his absorption In the phe­ nomenon he called to Bangs, who" rose slowly, and. coming to his side; re­ garded the scene without .much Inter­ est. “It’s a cross projection from a house diagonally opposite u?,” he said, after studying the picture a moment. ‘Tt must be that old red studio building on the southwest corner-of the square. If we had a room back of this and looking toward the west, we could see the ieal window." “As J t is,” said Laurie, “we’ve got a reserved seat for an Intimate study of any one who lives there. I won­ der who has that studio?” Bangs had no idea. He was grate­ ful to the little episode, however, for spreading over the yielding ground beneath his feet the solid strip on which he had crossed back to his chum. He threw an arm across Laurie’s shoulders and looked into his face, with something In his expression that reminded young Devon of a fa­ vorite collie he had loved and lost In boyhood. “AU right now?” the look asked, just as the dog’s look had asked It of the little chap of ten, when something had gone wrong. Rodney’s creed of life was held together by a few prim­ itive laws, the first of which was loy­ alty. Already he was reproaching himself for what he had said and done. Laurie carefully completed, the tying of his tie, and turned to him with his gayest smile. “Hurry up and finish dressing,” he cheerfully suggested, “and we'll go out to breakfast. Since you Insist on wait­ ing 'round for me like Mary’s little lamb, I suppose Tve got to feed you.” Rodney’s wide grin responded, for the first time In many days. He bustled about, completing bis toilet, and ten minutes later the two young men started out together with a light­ ness of spirit which each enjoyed and neither wholly understood. Both had a healthy horror of “sentimental stuff" and a gay, normal disregard of each other’s feelings In ordinary inter­ course. But In the past half-hour, for the first time In their association, they had come close to a serious break, and the soul of each had been chilled by a premonitory loneliness as definite as the touch of an icy finger. In the quick reaction they experienced now their spirits soared exultantly. They breakfasted In a fellowship such as they had not known since Barbara's marriage, the month before. If Bangs had indulged In any dream of a change of life In Laurie, how­ ever, following this reconciliation, the next few days destroyed the tender shoots of that hope. Laurie's manner retained Its pleasant camaraderie, but work and he met as strangers and passed each other by. The routine of his days remained what they had been during the past five weeks. He gadded about, apparently harmlessly, came home at shocking hours, and spent most of the bracing January days «X»X<-X»X<-X«X»X»X»X»X»X<'X<»X»X»X»X»X»X*X*X*X-;»X»X»X»X«X» Mercy Cut No Figure in Old-Time Justice The torturing of criminals on “the wheel” is a very ancient form of pun­ ishment In an “improved” form It was revived in Germany in the Four­ teenth century. The unfortunate vic­ tim was laid upon a very large cart wheel, his legs and arms extended and fastened to the spokes, and in that po­ sition, as the wheel was turned around, his limbs were broken by suc­ cessive blows with an iron bar. In France, where the .wheel was used only to punish criminals of the most atrocious sort the victim was first bound to a frame of wood In the form of a St. Andrew’s cross—that is, two bars of equal length laid crosswise like an X. Grooves were cut trans­ versely in these bars, above and below the knees and elbows, and the execu­ tioner struck the limbs of the victim eight blows so as to'break them In these places. Sometimes he finished his work by striking the criminal two or three blows on the chest or stom­ ach, which usually put an end to the sufferer’s life, and therefore were called blows of mercy. The punish­ ment of the wheel was abolished in France at the revolution.' In Germany it was occasionally inflicted early in the last century for the crimes of trea­ son and parricide. - Failures Become Critics Reviewers are usually people who would have been poets, historians, bi­ ographers, etc., if they could; they have tried their talents at one .or the other, and have failed; ti/erefore they turn critics.—Coleridge. . Famous Old English “Beat?’ The sobriquet “Beau Nash” was be­ stowed upon Richard Nash, a fashion­ able personage of the Eighteenth cen­ tury. He was bom in Wales in 1674, and studied law, but later became a gambler, for which he seemed to have a greater liking and aptitude and from which- he derived an ample revenue. In 1704 he transformed Bath from a vulgar and neglected watering place into a gay and fashionable resort. The city of Bath, in gratitude for his serv­ ices, placed his statue between those? of Newton and Pope. He lived to be eighty-seven, but his last years were spent In poverty, owing to the act of parliament that suppressed gambling. —Kansas City: Star. .. wrapped In * healthful'slumber that infuriated Bangs, , who wandered In and out of their apartment -like an unhappy ghost. On the rare occa­ sions when he and Rodney Innched or dined together, Laurie was entirely good-humored and when Epstein was with them seemed wholly impervious to any hints-thrown Out, none too subtly, by his producing partner. “Listen, Laurie,” said that disgusted individual, almost a month after the new year had been ushered In, “the new year’s here— That’s a good time for a young fella to get busy again on somethin’ vorth while. Ain’t I right?” Laurie suppressed a yawn and care­ fully struck off with his little finger the firm ash of an excellent cigarette. He was consuming thirty or forty cigarettes a day, and his nerves were beginning to show the.effect of this Indulgence. “I believe - it is,” he courteously agreed. “It has been earnestly rec­ ommended to the young as a good time to start something.” “Veil,” Epstein’s voice took on the guttural notes of his temperamental Fever headache or grippes Colda break in a day for the millions who - use HiUs.

He had caught the quick look of warning Bangs shot at the producer and it amused him. “Not yet,” he said. “Not till Fve had my adventure.” Epstein sniffed. “The greatest adventure in life,” he stated dogmatically, “Is to make a tot of money. I tell you vy. Because then you got all the other adventures you can handle, trying to hold on: to It I" Bangs, who was developing a new and hitherto unsuspected vein of tact, encouraged Epstein to enlarge on this congenial theme. He now fully real­ ized that Devon would go his own gait until he- wearied of it, and that no argument or persuasion could enter his armor-clad mind. The position of Bangs was a difficult one. for while he was accepting and assimilating this unpleasant fact, Epstein and Uaxon— impatient men by temperament and ■without much training In self-control— were getting wholly out of patience and therefore out of hand. Haxo% indeed, was for the time entirely out of hand, for he had finally started the rehearsals of a new play which, he grimly Informed Bangs, would make “The Man Above” look like a canceled postage-stamp. Bangs repeated the comment to his chum the next- morning, during the late dressing-hour which now gave them almost their only opportunity for a few words together. He bad hoped It would make an impression, and he IlBtened with pleasure to a sharp exclamation from Laurie, who chanced to be standing before the door mirror In the dressing-room, brushing his hair. The next instant Bangs realized that it was not hla news which had evoked the tribute of that exclamation. “Oome here I” called Laurie, urgent­ ly. "Here’s something new; and, by Jove, isn’t she a beauty I” Bangs Jnterrupted his toilet to lounge across the room. Looking over Laurie’s shoulder, his eyes found the cynosure that held the gaze of bis friend. The wide-open studio window was again reflected In the mirror, but with another occupant This was a girl, young and lovely. She appeared in the window like a half-length photograph In a fmme. Her body showed only from above the waist Her elbows were on the sill. Her chin rested In the hollows of her cupped hands. Her-wavy hair, parted on one sldeand drawn softly over the ears In the fashion of the season, was reddish-gold. Her eyes were brown, and very thoughtful. Down-dropped, they seemed to stare nt something on the-street below, but the girl’s express sion .was hot that of one who was looking at an object with interest In­ stead, she seemed lo;t In a deep and melancholy abstraction.. _'' r . Laurie, a hair-brush in each band, stared hard at the picture. "Isn’t she charming!” he cried again. Bangs’ reply revealed a' severely practical side of his nature. “She’ll haye a beastly cold In the head if she' doesn’t shut that win­ dow,” he grumpily suggested. But his interest, too, was aroused.. He stared at the girl in the mirror with an at­ tention almost equalto Laurie's.(UTS V StOD and SCRATCHES Stop the smarting and hasten tEI healing by prompt application of Who is this girl in the mirror?

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS President Asks an Income Tax Rebate—Fight on New Maine Senator. By EDWARD W. PICKARD CONGRESS convened for (he short session, received President Cool- idge’s message and budget statement, and got down to work on the appropria­ tion bills. The opening session of the senate was enlivened by an unusual Incident. Four newly elected senators, Stewart of Iowa, Hawes of Missouri. Robinson of Tndiana and Gould of Maine, marched down the center aisle to be sworn in when Senator WaIsh of Montana stopped the proceedings by offering a resolution calling for an Investigation of charges that Mr. Gould had presented officials of New Brunswick, Canada, with a gift of 5100,000 In a railroad deal eight years ago. The resolution provided that Mr. Gould should be permitted to take the oath of office, so that cere­ mony proceeded. Nest day the senate voted, 70 to 7, that the privileges and elections committee should Inquire in­ to the charge Mr. Gould merely asked that the investigation be speedy, asserting that it would vindicate him. He says the New Brunswick officials sought to hold him and his associates up in a railroad franchise grant and that he counseled resistance, but his associates came across. On Wednesday congress was offi­ cially informed of the death of Sena­ tor William B. McKinley of Illinois, and both houses adjourned In respect to his memory. Vice President Dawes and Speaker Longworth appointed committees to attend the funeral In Champaign. President Coolidge in his message made numerous recommendations for legislation, although it is admitted that there will be time to do little more than pass the necessary appropri­ ation bills. The President asked the house ways and means committee to Introduce a bill granting a reduction of Income taxes due in March and June, 1927, stating that the surplus of government revenue for the current fiscal year which could be so applied was about $383,000,000. He said he did not think any change in the spe­ cial taxes or any permanent reduc­ tion was practical at this time. The Democratic leaders have indicated that they will demand a permanent reduction. In the matter of farm relief legisla­ tion Mr. Coolldge reasserted his oppo­ sition to anything in the nature of price fixing by the government, but suggested that something might be done to solve the surplus problem by supplementing the operations of the co-operative marketing organizations. As for the cotton growers, he said they must reduce their acreage for the coming year by about one-third. Com belt leaders in congress answered this clause of the message with the an­ nouncement that the McNary-Haugen bill would be reintroduced at once. Mr. Coolidge recommended that the Philippines be transferred from mili­ tary to civil rule as soon as possible, but said the islands should not ie given complete independence until the natives are “politically fitted for self- government and economically inde­ pendent.” He added the assurance that the Dnlted States would always , bear, some responsibility for the de­ fense of the islands. Concerning prohibition the message called for reform of abuses In enforce­ ment and said congress should speed­ ily enact such supplementary legisla­ tion as the Treasury department might ask to Btrmigthen the Volstead act. Tbe first of the treasury' measures was introduced In the house Wednes­ day and It included the appropriation of $500,000 for -advances to be made by special disbursing agents,” which means the purchasing of evidence. Several members of the committee re­ fused to vote for this, and others said they would fight it on the .floor of the .house. ANOTHER angle of the prohibition matter was presented Wednes­ day when Die Chief Execnttve trans­ mitted the budget estimates of ex­ penditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1928. Here is what he said: “For the enforcement of prohibition nearly 530,000,000 is provided in the budget by direct and Indirect appro­ priations. The coast guard* has been enlarged and • strengthened to enable it to prosecute effectively its part of the campaign of enforcement, while the other enforcement agencies have been amply financed. “Whatever is necessary to put into effect the expressed*wili of the people as written into the eighteenth amend­ ment and the will of the congress as expressed in the Volstead act will be done. Whatever funds may be neces­ sary to vindicate the law and secure compliance with all . its provisions should be provided. The constitution­ al duties of the President and the con­ gress make any other course indefensi­ ble.” Naturally the wets didn’t like tills at all, and they were reinforced by the advocates of strong national defense when the budget figures for the army and navy were read. For those brandies it Is proposed to expend in the coming year more than 51,000,000 less than In the 1927 fiscal year. Though the coast guard rum fleet Is to be Increased, the navy will have to place some of its 309 ships In reserve and it is alleged the fleet is under­ manned and suffering deterioration for lack’ of fupds. The decline in the per­ sonnel of the army already had been called to public attention by army of- .ficials. The budget provides for $574,- 000,000 for national defense, and the President said this was “a very con­ siderable amount to spend for protec­ tion in time of peace.” Mr. Coolldge called attention to the fact that no provision is made in the estimates of the Navy department for commencing construction of the re­ maining three of the eight light cruisers which the act of December 18, 1924, authorizes to be undertaken prior to July I, 1927. He expressed his approval of tills omission. Against this “interference” the house naval af­ fairs committee promptly revolted. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur and his chief aids were called before the com­ mittee and told it that of the eight cruisers mentioned, which were sched­ uled for completion in 1927, only two bave been started and they cannot be completed before 1929. Chairman But­ ler then declared that so far as he and most of the majority members of the committee were concerned, no more navy proposals will be approved until assurances are received that, once authorized, the programs will be pushed to completion In accordance with the legislation. Under a special order the house passed the senate bill providing for in­ creases In the salaries of federal Judges in the Supreme, Circuit, Dis­ trict and other courts. T5 EVERTING to the agriculturists, ^ the American Farm Bureau Fed­ eration was In session in Chicago and apparently got the Middle West and the Soutii together on a proposed pro­ gram of farm relief. They adopted the ideas of.Frank O. Lowden and out­ lined a surplus control measure which they will ask congress to pass. Briefly, .it will do these things: Provide a federal farm board, ad­ ministering an adeqnate revolving fund, with whose help surpluses can actually be handled by co-operative agencies created by the farmers. Distribute the costs of managing Surpluses1 just as broadly as the re° sultant- benefits are distributed, that is, over each marketed unit of a par­ ticular commodity through the equali­ zation fee. The federation adopted a long list of resolutions on matters vital-to agri­ culture, and elected these new direc­ tors: Central section, Hugh Harper, Lancaster, -Wis.; eastern section, E. B. Cornwall, Middlebury, Vt.; south­ ern, Frank Demmick, Shuteston, La.; Western section, M. S. Winder, Salt Lake City. Re-elected officers were: W. H. Settle, Indianapolis; J. F. Por­ ter, ColnmbuslTenn., and C. S. Brown, Mesa, Ariz. ITALY’S recently signed treaty with Albania has stirred up a great fuss In the Balkans and in some European capitals there were.fears that It would lead to another war. The Serbs were especially angry, feeling that it was directed primarily -against them and Foreign Minister Ninchltch resigned, and was followed out by the entire Jugo-Slav cabinet. This was a sur­ prise to the Italians for they had considered Ninchitch their good friend. Officially, Mussolini’s government de­ clared the treaty contained no secret military clauses and could in no way be considered injurious to peace In the Balkans. It was, said the Italians, merely a pact of friendship and arbi­ tration between Italy and Albania, in­ suring ,peace, guaranteeing absolute sovereignty and territorial Integrityto Albania, and confirming and emphasiz­ ing the principles upheld by the League of Nations. PREMIER MUSSOLINI, by a decree law, has imposed a tax on all bachelors in Italy between the ages of twenty-five and sixty-five. Tills is another step in his campaign against birth control. The tax is progressive according to income, and the proceeds will be turned over to the National In­ stitute for the Protection of Mother­ hood and Childhood. Unmarried wom­ en are not subject to the tax. MOST eminent of those taken by death last week was Claude Mo­ net, the French painter. He was eighty-six years old and the last sur­ vivor of the great impressionist group of the SO’s which included Manet, Re- noiy, Pissaro and Sisley. ACTIVITIES of the administration in behalf of Adolfo Diaz, presi­ dent of Nicaragua, seem fated to prove decidedly injurious to the pres­ tige of the United States in Latin America. Juan B. Sacasa, who was the candidate" of the revolutionary liberals, has set up 'his government in Puerto Cabezas and has been for­ mally recognized as president by Mex­ ico. This lead is expected to be fol­ lowed by Salvador, Guatemala and Panama, while Costa Rica and Hon­ duras are awaiting developments. Guatemala sent an offer of mediation, but Dlaz considered this as favoring Mexican intervention. However, he advised Sacasa that he would give him safe conduct to the interior to discuss peace negotiations. Sacasa’s followers are confident that he will win eventually and must be recognized by the United States. Toward the end of the week it was reported that Sacasa and his cabinet were effectual­ ly penned up In Puerto Cabezas by American warships. WHEN the League of Nations council began its December ses­ sion in Geneva It was confronted by the demands of Germany that allied military control of that country be abolished and that the evacuation of the Rhineland take place speedily. Opposed to these demands was the de­ termination of the French that France and her allies on the east first be as­ sured against future aggression. Stresemann, Chamberlain and Briand had private conversations and reached an agreement on the military control question. The new accord provides that the interallied military control commission, with headquarters in Ber­ lin since the armistice, will leave Ger­ many and be dissolved by January 15 or 30. Supervision of Germany’s dis­ armament will he placed In charge of a league commission, as provided by the covenant. The three foreign ministers then tackled the other problem, and It was said they probably would agree on an early evacuation of the Coblenz and Mayence bridgeheads and the with­ drawal of all British and Belgian troops of "occupation. THE League of Nations virtually lost another member, for under pressure from Shia Ting, represent­ ing the Canton Kuomintang govern­ ment, the delegate from the nominal Peking government, Chao Hsin-chu, agreed to take no active part in the proceedings and to make no commit­ ments regarding China. Shia said the Kuomintang, which claims to be the only real government In China, does not recognize the league and would not join it after the civil war is ended unless the powers recognized its full independence 1 and sovereignty. He said further that China is ready to join Russia, Turkey, Persia and Af­ ghanistan In the Asiatic league which was really started by the recent meet­ ing of Tchitcherin of Russia and Rushdy Bey of Turkey in Odessa FTER a continuous fall of snow- for over forty hours, the small town of Bethel was covered with a pure white mantle on the day be­ fore Christmas. Over the hills the tinkling sound of slpigh bells was music upon the frosty air of the early winter morning as Judge John Wainwright looked out oi the chamber window of his farm­ house. As he peered out of the little panes of glass with their tiny drap­ eries of snow he saw Jasper Jones with his two-hitch plow breaking a way through the narrow Main street of the town, while an occasional salute of “Good momin’, Jasper I” came from neighbors as they shoveled paths from their gateposts. “Reckon we’ti have a real Christ­ mas—snow nearly two feet deep— came down pretty heavy!” remarked Jasper. The words "a real Christmas,” with the sound of-sleigh bells, rang all day long in the ears of Judge Walnwrlght, even after he had finished his supper in company with his wife and son jtoland. “Rolley” and his wife, Mar­ ion, lived with Judge and Mrs. Wain­ wright. Marion, being somewhat ill In her room, was unable to join In the evening meal. After supper Judge Wainwright climbed the handsomely carved old colonial staircase, and when he had reached the seat on the landing he sat for a moment on the red velvet cushion to glance down at the hall with the tall clock ticking merrily and the log fire snapping happily, its rosy glow painting the white walls and their decorations of greenery—such a picture I And the Christmas joy of the olden days tame to him. He had romped on these same stairs with a happy heart, with Iiis sister Lucy at his heels. Yes, Lucy—there was the one shadow on the-joys of Christmas Eve. Lucy had married against the wishes of her family, and as a result none of the family were on speaking Looked Out of the Dormer Window Upon the Night. terms with her. Lucy,- a widow, feeble, but graceful In her age of seventy-five years, lived In the little cottnge on the Wainwright estate, cut off with a very slight income by the will of her father, John Wainwright. Judge Wainwright went up to his study and looked out of the dormer window upon the night The sky was clear and a large star shone brightly above the distant hilt of pine trees and all the other stars seemed to twinkle happily‘about it. The loveli­ ness of the landscape charmed him, and, relaxing from any other thoughts, fie turned the light very low andlay upon a couch near the window. When a loud knock upon the door startled him he realized he had fallen asleep and the excited voice of Sarah, the colored maid, called to him that “Missus Marion done took very sick.” It was tlie midnight hour when Judge Wainwright again stood by his study window and glanced out again into the night. The big star was high and luminous and long beams seemed to stream from it as it hung aloft, over the little town of Bethel. A new joy- had come into the Judge’s heart, for a new-born babe had come into the home. And as he turned from the win­ dow he glanced at a pictured motto on the wall, placed there by his own mother. It read: “Blessed Are the Peacemakers, for They Shall Be Called, the Children of.God.” Speedily the bitterness toward poor Lucy which had been in his heart for so many years had departed and the tears came to Jiis eyes. He determined then to make the grandest peace upon the Christmas day. He would call upon Lucy himself, ask for her forgiveness and announce the glad tidings of a son —a most glorious gift bestowed by God in the old Wainwright homestead,. It was a day of real Christmas rejoic­ ing, unon wliich the spirit of the man who said “Peace upon earth" rested and the little town of Bethel had its share in the advent of 0 new citizen— John Wainwright, III."

Lesson for December 23 REVIEW REVIEW —Moses to SamueL GOLDEN TEXT—Surely His salva­tion is nigh them that fear Him, that glory may dwell In our land. PRIMARY TOPIC—Favorite Stories of the Quarter. JUNIOR TOPIC—Stories of Israel’s Leaders. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP­ IC—G reat Men and Women of the Quarter. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­ IC—G reat Teachings of the Quarter. Three good methods may be used for this review. I. Arsign to the members of the class a week ahead the task of pre­ paring a“description of the outstand­ ing events of each lesson. The length of such descriptions will depend upon the number of pupils in fhe class and time allowed for the lesson. II. Assign to the pupils the out­ standing personalities of the quarter the task of malting an analysis of these characters, pointing out the strong and weak points thereof. The principal persons appearing in the quarter’s lessons are Moses, Joshua, Caleb, Gideon, Ruth and Samuel. Two pupils may be assigned to report on the same character, the one on the strong points and tlie other on the weak points. HL- Ask the members of the class to bring a written report on each les­ son, giving the principal fact and the leading lesson thereof. The fol­ lowing suggestions are offered: October 3. Moses sought the help of Hobub in guiding Israel through the wilderness. Though Hobab was a shrewd child of the desert, the Lord God was a better guide than he. Like Moses, we should acknowledge the leadership of the Lord, even though it may mean confession of our own failure. October 10. Through unbelief spies were sent to Canaan. The majority report was brought by the ten spies. Joshua and Caleb recognized the diffi­ culties equally with the ten, but be­ cause they had faith in God, coun­ seled taking possession of the land. October 17. Because of an act of disobedience . Moses was debarred from entering the promised land. Though he had to suffer this loss, the Lord gave him a place in the very front rank of His prophets. October 24. Upon Moses’ retire­ ment and death, Joshua was appoint­ ed as a new leader ef Israel. Though God’s servants die, Hts work goes on because the Lord has always In readi ness capable leaders. October 31. Six awful woes are pointed out as coming upon those who indulge In wine. The only safe atti­ tude toward the intoxicating cup Is not to look at It, not to come into its way; total abstinence is enjoined upon all. November 7. Jericho, the key to the land of Canaan, fell prostiate through faith In God. Spiritual vic­ tories are won upon principles and by means which are utterly foolish In themselves. November 14. Because of Caleb’s sterling character ami his loyalty to God, he came into possession of the Inheritance which God had chosen for him. November 21. In Joshua’s farewell address he brought to the attention of Israel God’s providential dealing with them and appealed to them to renew their covenant with his God. Tbe people entered into a formal cov­ enant at Shechem. In order to clinch this obligation Joshua wrote down their agreement in a book, and as a further help set up a largo stone as a witness. November 28. Gideon’s army was reduced to 300! AU who were cow­ ardly were permitted to withdraw. Others unfit were likewise permitted to-wltbdraw. A small company trust­ ing God can win the victory over a mighty hosL December 5. Ruth chose to be identified with the people of the Lord. Because of this choice she came into possession of the blessings of the true God and her came has become im­ mortal. December 12. Because God gave to Hannah a son In answer to her prayer, she gave him up' to service in the house of God. December 19. As Samuel In bis old age was retiring from the place oi judgeship in Israel, he challenged the people as to the integrity of his con­ duct among them. Everyone in public life should be ambitious to leave an untarnished record at the close of hie career.

C. Be, N. C ‘-'In Ij|| f i D P e m y p z c l l e r rHEKE wos the usual grinding of iron rails and a burr and pres­ sure on the ears, as a long train, inbound from Boston, entered the tun­ nel and made its way to the great term inal at Thirty-third street. As is always the case immediately before or lifter Cliristmas, the cars were crowd­ ed with persons going to their homes or coming from some Mg holiday cele­ bration and, as Is also the case at such times, everyone was in good hu- Dior. A3 the door swung open and red- capped porters met the heavily loaded travelers, there was the rush of a great, sweeping crowd past Jack Del- jier, as he stood a moment waiting to get his direction. He looked up. It ras but a moment he had paused. He jjiust go with the crowd—must follow them. Soon he had traversed the long platform, ascended a flight of stairs to another train level, and found him- \ Eeif seated again in a great steel coach. Passengers were coming on rapidly. Mea, women and children were In the crowd. There were the well-do-do (or apparently so) as well as the poor­ ly clad. But in spite of class, or con­ dition, or age, the holiday spirit was still present with the crowd. But for that spirit, of course, there might have been friction and bickering and dissension among the crowd. A man with a sense of humor and something of a tinge of Irreverence once remarked that God could under­ stand men. He was sure of that Cnt he doubted that He could under­ stand a whole car full of them. It was a motley crowd, it Is true. One wondered, naturally, whence they came and whither they were going. At last, the cstr was about full. It was but one minute to starting time. The sound of the testing of air brakes was heard. Conductors, brakemen and porters stood ready when the signal was given, to come aboard, close the Vestibule doors and take their places. Just as the words “all aboard” were heard along the line, a young woman entered the car. She had raced for the train and was out of breath. She was not flustered or perturbed, how­ ever. She stood in the aisle when the train started and looked toward the rear. Jack wondered where she would gravitate. Every seat in the car, save his, as far as he could see, had its quota of two. She had passed this. ' Jack instinctively said to himself: “Wish she’d come here. I’d much rather sit with a nice looking girl next me than have some crude foreigner, reeking with the smell of onions, as a seatmate for the next three or four hours.” Itis intentions were good. He was merely being honest with himself. Suddenly the girl turned. A pair of, quick, bright brown eyes detected the vacant seat, and the girl moved to­ ward It. Jack's eyes were as quick as hers. In a first glance he surveyed the girl from head to foot. As she tented herself calmly beside him, he could have made an inventory of most o( her wardrobe and belongings. He -didn’t miss the skating boots and skates, and the fine hockey, stick she had with her.

I’ll warrant.” The train sped on. Conversation lagged, and both dozed. Cinders rat­ tled down upon the car roof with the patter of a brisk April shower. Suddenly the girl turned toward Jack with a startled .expression upon her face and the query: “Is it rain­ ing?” Jack peered through the dirty pane He could not.determine. “I believe not,” he replied. The train sped on. Conversation became easier between the two. They felt as if-they could be friends, if they were not already. The. girl spoke more freely and fluently than the man. But then—It’s a habit women have. When there’s anything at all to talk about they will relate it In an interesting way—when there isn’t they can talk about that, , too. They have the genius! Anyway, "she rattled along, her eyes lighting up with Interest. She had had a good time. Jack knew by the incidents she related and the ray of pleasure In her voice as she gpoke. “I was expected home In Philadel­ phia,” she said, “on the train leaving New York at six o’clock. Father and Brother were to meet me. Perhaps they’re still waiting I” she exclaimed. I hope not” “She told of the good time she and a large crowd of friends had enjoyed on the snow-clad hills above. Newburg, of coasting parties, and skating, and of dances that followed. She ex­ plained how, missing an earlier train, she had run oyer to Brooklyn to visit She Gave Another Look Toward Jack an* aunt and uncle, and how, because of this, she had missed still another train. Now she was troubled. Could Fa­ ther and Brother be’waiting yet—all these long hours—at the station for her? Her bosom heaved with a sigh, “Would they scold her?” she won­ dered. Of course, they must be an­ noyed, but would they understand? She feared they might not. She be­ came restless. As the train neared the station she became more so. When-the train slowed, preparatory to making its stop, she smiled at her traveling companion, remarked some­ thing about the monotony of a tire­ some journey being broken by her meeting him, picked up her neat bun­ dle of sporting paraphernalia, in­ cluding her new hockey stick, and passed out As she stood on the platform wait­ ing for an elderly couple to precede her, she gave another , look back to­ wards jack; their eyes met in a sort of understanding, and she passed out to the dimly lighted station platform. “There,” he mused, “goes a fine girl, and one I Would like to know." Tliey had not exchanged names or told any­ thing intimate about themselves. Pro­ priety had prevented that, and Jack feft sure—they both did, in fact—that they would never again meet. It is a'small world. Often In its rev­ olutions the “spot” falls on the same actors,.. One scarcely dare think, let alone say: “I will never see him or her again.” As soon say when you cast "your dice: “It will never fall with a six up.” It will. You cannot say where, but you know that it will fall that wayl some time again. Jack didn’t know this then, but months afterward, as guest at a house party in the Poconos, he looked into a face that seemed very familiar. Si­ multaneously there was a sign of rec­ ognition and an expression of' glad­ ness. We will not carry the story further. The reader knows what , happens un­ der such circumstances, when youth meets youth with a complete under­ standing. There may be tiny differ­ ences In expression, but the chief inci­ dents In the chapters are similar. It was the outgrowth of a Christ­ mas journey, but it brought to Jack the beginning of one of his happiest New Year’s.f(c), D iet Western Newspaper Union.)

' aiwAntlw CHIC TRANSPARENT BLACK FROCK; COAT SUGGESTS BLOUSE EFFECT V/r ORE and more the mode asserts b ■* the smartness of black. For coats, the very latest is black suede trimmed in black wolf pr lynx. The black velvet toque strikingly draped answers the call of the millinery mode. For dressy wear, in spite of the flare for gay colors, the sentiment for the all-black frock is very pronounced. What the ail-black party or formal afternoon frock lacks-In color it makes up for in dainty grace of diaphanous draperies and alluring transparencies. A black georgette frock like the one In tks picture, inset with black lace and with a deep lace cape collar is tion of the all-black mode. The fringe is arranged in tiers on the skirt por­ tion and appears in clever appoint­ ments on the sleeves with little or none on the bodice. A decided blouse for the evening wrap, but merely the suggestion of a blouse for the practical daytime top­ coat—this is the season’s decision of the mode. The problem has been how to introduce the blouse into the coat of cloth without interfering with the straightline silhouette—for women of fashion are loathe to forsake slen­ derizing lines. In more ways than one this coveted effect has been achieved, f \ . I : » '•\' t ■ \ A - r- # ' • ' ! I ' ' I n * !!T?.. tm -n X e *4 ■ „4 * > L, ^ . H i> # Efsf ....

Worn over a flesh-colored satin slip it is ideal for the informal party or for afternoon tea. Posed over a black silk slip it becomes a costume of quiet elegance. Tlie charm of the transpar­ ent black dress is that it affords so many delightful effects with the inter­ changing of various colorful costume slips. The latest entree among black dinner gowns is that all of lace with long tight-fitting sleeves,- for sleeves to the wrist are fashion’s latest whim for the sheer evening dress. The skirt at the same time introducing a blous. styling. By positioning a subtle full­ ness at the back above the skirt por­ tion or perhaps placing it under the arm as the model shows in tills pic­ ture, the almost impossible has been accomplished. There is another difficulty which has confronted the designer 'from time, to time, that is to adopt the very deep armhole without destroying the straight up and down lines of the coat, for in spite of the obstacles to be overcome, the final ultimatum from' fashion headquarters is that both the blouse and the deep armhole must have their place in the season’s modes. i X - W S A Model of Dark Green Suede Cloth. is bouffant with an intricately con­ trived girdle.Black tulle evening gowns also come in for fashion’s favor. The full skirts art a mass of fluttering tiers and the hemlines are always scalloped or pointed or gracefully irregular. Recently arriving imports accented yokes of exquisite white or metal lace, with hiAck as an outstanding number on the present style program. The - fringe-trimmed . black chiffon frock is also an interesting interpreta- And they liuie I Most successfully, too, for proof of which let the coat In tills piciute again bear witness. It is an elegant model made of dark green suede cloth, with collaf" of natural gray fox. Referring to this collar, it is of ex­ ceptionally high-grade fur, .appealing to a discriminating taste which pre­ fers a restrained use of the best rather than a lavish display of quantity sans quality. Many of the season’s better coats are notably of worthwhile cloth, collared and perhaps cuffed with fur of a most superior sort. Out of the confusion of styles launched at’ the beginning of every season there is always some one which stands out prominently—becomes a pronounced vogue. Such is the blach or richly colorful coat of either suede or deep pile weave, which is trimmed with light fluffy fur-“-the kind which flatters In its becomingness. In select­ ing the midwinter cloth coat one will be according to the dictates of the mode by selecting either a deep wine, or dark green cloth trimmed witif creamy .colored badger or gray fox 01 wolf. , JDLIA BOTTOMLEY. 1925. Western Newsneper ’-'nlon.l PalmIndmtry Chief Sierra Leone Asset The principal industry in Sierra Leone is the palm oil indusrty. Up to the present time It has been purely a domestic industry. The fruits are collected from the wild palms and are taken to the villages, where the oil is prepared by boiling the fruits to re­ move the oil from the fleshy pericarp which surrounds the nuts. The nuts are then laid out to dry In the vil­ lages, and when dry they are cracked one by one to obtain the kernels, which are exported. The palm belts form the banking Institutions of the native population. When they are in need of money -to buy clothing or do­ mestic utensils or to pay their hut tax, they go. to the palm belts to col­ lect the fruit in order to obtain ker­ nels, which they take to the trading stores to convert into cash. Palm ker­ nels form the backbone of the trade of Sierra Leone. This country requires large quantities of palm oil for edible purposes and for its soap-making in­ dustries.

The field was muddy beyond the least trace of solidness and after a few downs the gridders were dripping wet.' Before long the fresh­ man commented to his neighbor: “Those fellows are sure muddy, aren’t they?’! He received no answer, and so in a minute he ventured again: “Those guys certainly get muddy, don’t they?' Again the neighbor was silent, and for a third time the freshman spoke. “I say,” he blurted, “why don’t the scrub team'get to work?” Answering bursts of laugliter si­ lenced the confused frosh.
