Griscom.—Chaff and Tractor Dust. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Speech. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new natiou, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposi­ tion that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that na­ tion or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that the na­ tion might live. -It is altogether fitting and.proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot conse crate, we cannot hallow this ground; the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have colscrat- ed it far above our poor power to add or detract. The, world ' will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never for­ get what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicat­ ed here to the, unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government .of t he~people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth. Anonymous Writers. Anonymous writers group them­ selves into classes, two of which are conspicuous. One hiding behind the cloak of namelessness assails his fellows. This kind, sometimes scurrously bent, is always appall­ ingly frank in his remarks. The other sensitive as an individual to publicity but .bursting for expres­ sion, usually in regard to matters of public interest, writes without revealing his or her identity. Women, especially belong to the latter class. Annonymous letters are usually very interesting; but they seldom if ever get into print, notwithstand­ ing the most of them are harmless, so far as the intent and purpose oj the writer is concerned. As has often been said, persons desiriug publication of their com­ munications should sign their names somewhere on the manu­ script. Publishers respect request of contributors who ask that their names be withheld when their at- ticles are published. They may sign themselves “Contributors,’’ • •Subscribers’’ or what not, but un­ less they identify themselves to the publishers or editors, their contri­ butions will go to the waste basket. —Johnson Ciiy. Chronicle. He Was a Good Lawyer The jury.had just acquitted the defendant of houee stealing be­ cause of the powerful plea of his lawyer. “Honor bright now; Bill,’’ said the lawyer as the two left the court house “ you Ilid steal' that that horse, didn’t jjou?” “ Well, now look here. I’ll be honest with you., I always did think I stole that horse until I beard you make that speech to the jury. Now I’ll be doggoned if I ain’t got my doubts about it ’’ Horhssby gets $40,000 a year to play ball with the New York Giants. That’s what the average sixteen year old. would consider Heaven . ,. County Sinking Fund. Sixteen years ago this coming spring Iredell county voted $400,- 000 of bonds for good roads, the county’s first bonded indebtedness of consequence. Iredell led the procession in the State voting road bonds; the people-were enthusiastic for the bond issue. It was our first progressive step of consequence, the best thing the county ever did for itself. In that road bond cam­ paign the people were solemnly as­ sured that a sinking fand would be set aside to retire the bonds as they fell due. The purpose to do that was sincere, but it hasn’t been done. There is on band to retire that $400,000 of bonds, after near 16 years, just $11,597 .0 7. „ According to the auditoi’s statement the coun­ ty should have on hand to retire road indebtedness a sinking -of: $163,958 32 . and to retire other in­ debtedness a sinking fund of $6 4 ,- 833.28. Against that,total of $228,- 791.60 the county should have -set aside to pay debts, there is a beg-; garly $11,597.0 7. The county is allthe time press-; ed for money for various and sun­ dry purposes and that which should have been set aside to pay off debts been spent for something else. Our credit is good and the paper can be renewed. But that means interest charges are gtSTng on and on, and presently enough interest will have been paid out to pay the principal. This is mentioned for publjc iufor--. mation. The people should know, in considering county' expenditure, that nothing o f. consequence has set aside so far to reduce county' indebtedness. That is good busi­ ness to main a'sinking fund to pay something on account from time to time must be admitted without argument, nad it is not too late to begin ' There will always be de­ mands, but it is essential that some­ thing be saved to apply on bonded indebtedness. Wnen the debt falls due, if we haven’t got the money to meet it—and we usually don’t have unless we have saved some­ thing—the paper must be renewed and interest charges go on. This-being thrift week it is es pecially oppropos that the matter of thrift—saving—be considered in county and municipal governments. —Statesville Daily. Bland Is A Piker Be­ side This Father. Kinston, Jan. 27 . — “Rube” Bland, and his negro competitors in Wilson and Alamance counties, may make their claims and produce their statistics and talk about the color line in multiplication, but if the voice of Alan Adamson could be heard across the vast spaces se­ parating North Carolina from the realms of the whispering departed, they’d shut up and ‘tend their crops. For, compared with the late Alan they are all a lot of pikers. The lately famous Reuban Bland, of Martin county, may be the chaim • pion white farther of this genera­ tion, but back in ante bellum times fathers were fathers, and Mr. Adamson ran up a record that Bland can’t touch. - Of course, Mr. Bland has some years left to him, whereas Mr. Adamson has long been out of the competition, but the law of averages is ’dead against the Martin farmer. ; 1 M Traditiou says Adamson was the father of 53 children. He held family reunions daily in a' fatni house on Bear' creek. The story that has just come to light here is rather shy of details, but it seems that the majority of the Adaitison brood were boys. . They thrived in the period before civil war. The louder a man talks the less you think of .what he says. An Editor Becomes Banker. Cleveland Star. Life continues to show that there are axceptions to all rules -and set beliefs. In the newspaper world— ith.as long been said that an editor w,ho says what he thinks and cfbesn’t mind thinking different from the common run has very lit­ tle-chance to get along. Just as long as that saving has been in ex­ istence we have been inclined to Consider it foolish. “The “up an but” editor who upholds the be­ liefs he considers right despite tem­ porary citicism and opinion is to be -admired and will be by tne major­ ity of real citizens. : AU of which, in the nature of a bouquet to our own profession, ,leads up to the announcement that IRufus R.

One gentleman 011 the car jumped to his feet and exclaimed, “HI be one of the three to give the lady a seat!” And, then, there was a lady of generous proportions whowas stroll­ ing—or perhaps one should say waddling—through the park. She noticed a man who seemed to be following her. She quickened her pace but still the gentleman kect close behind her. The lady could stand it no longer, so she found a. policeman and explaiued the situa­ tion to him. The officer then accosted the man: “ What do you mean by such conduct? Why were you following this lady?” “I didn’t mean any harm,” de­ clared the culprit. “ I was just walkin’ along bebidd the lady be cause she was the only shady spot in the whole park.” When a banker begins to play the stock exchange, it is high time for depositors to lose their own money.

Holland) What a theme for a sermon: “Grocery Bills.” Yesterday I talk­ ed with a grocer. He told to what Bonfire Out of Mail Or­ der Catalogues* Retail merchants of Goldsboro have recently inauguarated a plan which seems likely to free them to a great extent from the competi- church he belonged, and said, It tion of mail order houses, which, does not do me much good to go to church, for I see so many people driving to church in fine cars who owe me for th«ir groceries ” He told me that business failures are higher among groceries than in any other line of business for the simple reason that too many people let the grocer wait. through the flashy color pages of their catalogues distributed pro­ miscuously have captured, in the past, many, dollars from the city to which 'they rightfully belonged. Through the co operation of the theatre with the merchants, free tickets were offered for all catalo- Men pav cash for gasoline, bar-' gues delivered to the managent of gain for other luxuries on the in-, a movie house.

We ought to play fair with our grocer. Hemight pray better if we paid better. Why do we neglect the the com­ mon every day courtesies? Is it be­ cause they are so. near at hand? I wonder. In our homes we allow the unpaid bills of love and affection to go unnoticed aB we do our grocery bills. If strangers were to be as good to. us as our own wives we men would fall all over ourselves in expressing our appreciation. Words would be too weak for a man to thank some other woman for preparing Ior him 1.000 meals a year. If a strange man would face a momentary danger for a woman’s ry all her life. Yet a husband will go out in a not too friendly a world, fight 300 days in a twelve-month, in order to provide shelter and the material means of-happiness for his family. Sometimes his debt is un­ paid. Nineteen Hundred and Twenty- seven is here. Let’s begin the New Year by cashing our commonest and most important debts. Many of us pay our debt of thanksgiving to Almighty God in the same slipshod fashion. The very nearness of God’s bless ing seem .to make us near sighted as to the wonders of His bounty. If sunshine and moonlight, rosy dawns, and golden sunsets were rarely a- bout us, we would grow wild about them. If the; Bible could be seen but.twice in a life time how1 eargly would we crowd about to gaze and gaze upon the center table is so near that we are likely overlook it. . I want to begin the New Year with such a prayer as this, “For the daily blessings of God, for the friends who trust us, and those who believe in me and help me. O Lord make me actively thankful.” progronr is beiDg prepared for the occasion of the bonfire in the near future when hundreds of catalogues already collected will furnish fuel for the flames.

Richelieu XBANT and patriot, conspirator I. and foe to conspiracies, priest and ian of blood, soldier and cardinal, rent statesman and greater oppressor, onerous patron of literature and per- itiuo Ily ft literary failure. These, In iicf, are the chief characteristics of rniiind Jean du Plessis, cardinal and ukc de Richelieu, the man who held U France in the hollow of his hand ;(,r a quarter century, and who did core tlmn his share towards changing ie destiny and history of the world. Henry IV had quieted the quarrels hstween Catholics and Huguenots, had lUDt up the nation that had been so Ievcrely battered by long civil war, nd Iiad paved the way for modern ,rogrcss. But in the height of his mrecr he had been murdered. His in- nut son, Louis XIU1 succeeded him, nd, (luring the lad’s minority the neen mother, Marie de Medici, and lie latter’s Italian friends were In rnctienl control. As a result, the jre.it nobles waxed unduly powerful, rogant and rebellious of royal com- innd; abuses of many sorts crept into Sie state; the glorious realm built up Iy Henry lV threatened to weaken IiBtl fall prey to foreign influences. When Louis X m grew to manhood |here seemed scant chance for better- lfient. He was weak, dissolute, lazy, Lpid, OTtli little thought or'care for Hg country’s best Interests. It was it this critical moment that Richelieu tapeared on the scene. Kiehelieu had been educated for the irmy, but on his elder brother’s death. 1606, had become bishop of Lucon, t the age of .twenty-one. But the liurcli, except as its offices furthered iia ambitions, held no attractions for he boy bishop. Far away, in Paris, •littered the gay court, and that court Iecaine his goal. Thither he went as flerlcnl deputy for the states general, i 1614, and there he stayed. He won Se Interest of the queen mother, and iy her influence was made secretary f state for war and foreign affairs. Iarely had he begun his political limb when, owing to court politics, he ras disgraced and banished from farls. But In 1620 he returned, and U years later became cardinal, from thence on he was the foremost low er in the state. He set to work at once tearing to iieces France’s flimsy political fabric mil remodeling it on a new basis. By seeution, banishment and imprison- ient he cut down the privileges and jOTlng strength of the great nobles. Ie demolished their mighty fortresses Liul curtailed their feudal rights. The lower thus snatched from them was ttlded to the crown. Next he assailed ihe Huguenots, besieging the city of Iodiclle, their stronghold and rallying ilace. England sent provisions to the iesiegetl, but Richelieu cut off the sup- ily, forcing a surrender. By thus adding to the might of the tou'd and cutting away all forces that hreatened to rival or weaken it, Rich- Ileu was really strengthening him- lelf. For he, and not the puppet, ouis XIII, was actual ruler of France, aving disposed of foes at home, :iclielieu next moved to check the lower of the Hapsburgs In Austria □d Spain, aiding the German and wedish Protestants in the Thirty ears' war, with a cheerful disregard the fact that he had just tried to eek Protestantism in France. It also by his contrivance that Por- igal, In 1(540, separated from Spain. Meantime, Louis XIII feared and atetl Itichelieu and would gladly have d the earth of him had he been able govern France without the car- Iinnrs aid. But he could not get on ithout Richelieu, and it was pleas- nt, while leading an Idle, dissipated fe, to know another was making his Ingtlom the greatest in,all Europe. The nobles whose privileges the 'dinal had curtailed, the soldiery d gallants whose duels he had for- diien on pain of death, the court and Iio king, all detested Richelieu. The ueen mother, who had launched him his career, turned against him. He recked her political power at one 'low. The nobles again and again 'nspired to overthrow or assassinate im. He cut off the conspirators’ ieads. The clergy and parliament iurmured at his tyranny. He put ad- Iitional checks on them. Two noble- en, Cinq Mars and De Thou, plotted is downfall, and there can be little oubt King Louis was privy to their ot. Richelieu had the two executed, d the king dared not defend them. With iron hand, relentlessly, arro- 1Uly, yet ever wisely, this strange on swayed the destinies of France, nking her powerful at home and ter- lble abroad, crushing out feudalism.

Ordinal Richelieu, the man who was !■eater than the king.’ Winter Resorters Are Lightly Clad Vivid Colors Dominate; Gay Ensembles Conspicuous, Paris Writer Says. As the frosty days arrive the smart continental world turns with relief to the warmth and distractions of the iJlylera, observes a Paris fashion writer in the Louisville Courier-Jour- nal. Along the numerous promenades vivid colors dominate, gay ensembles and jaunty sports costumes rival one' another for the first place. Naturally enough the smart winter resorters are lightly clad, while the rest of the world suffers from cold and bulk. At Nice and Cannes the slim lines are carried out in filmy textures, whether It be in the realm of sportswear, af­ ternoon or evening frocks. Colors, while brilliant, are for the most part consistent with fabrics In that they are light and soft The sports type of clothing seen along the Riviera is ingenious and at­ tractive. Patou suggests an ensemble composed of a dark-red crepella coat lined with pink jersey to match the revers._and cuffs, and a frock or skirt with little plaits let in the center front. Another Patou offering Is In the form of a clear colored striped jersey jumper piped in clear colors in the same tones, accompanied by a plain skirt. There is a little cardigan frock by Drecoll in black sweater pink “chine” banded with pink “chine” and trimmed with a black- patent leather belt and a scarf to match the edging. Woolen Mixtures. The vogue for woolen, mixtures Is Indulged in by Chantal; who designs a jacket In reddish wool to wear over a skirt of beige or natural kasha, which has yellowish stripe bands over the box plaits. Lelong follows with’ several ensem­ bles consisting of darlc woolen coats, often navy blue, lined with foulard to match the accompanying frock. Martial et Armand offer a striking eports costume of white crepe de chine—the frock is made witli a close collar and lavishly embroidered in red, and Is worn with a white geor­ gette fichu and a red jacket Premet’s sleeveless velvet jacket, ■worn with the simple frock, Is her­ alded as among the popular themes of short coats and little frocks; there Is one In green ,crepella with a green coatee, one In banana crepella with paletot In beige velvet and another in Blue jersey with a blue velvet coat. Patou gives advance notes of a lit­ tle casaqua and “chemise” -in white ^embroidered In black and green. At luncheon one may wear Patou's black stiff satin frock' or peau de sole, as the material is generally called. One of Heim’s coats may be chosen, such as a' model which looks like a lrock In black “chine” with vertical black silk stitches over extremely fine plaits. The broad belt is inset and the. lining is in grege georgette. Chantal’s pour la pluie is a fasci­ nating coat in changeable green and rings, one below the hips and one. near the bottom, which look, at first glance, like lace. This is worn over a satin foundation. ■ . There is a specific costume for every occasion on the Riviera, and milady’s wardrobe IS a dazzling variety of gay frocks and coats. Every detail Is In perfect harmony, from her hats, which are In bright colors, to her slippers, the majority, of which are either of novelty reptile or colored to match the ensemble. It had always been our impression that when finally the mqde recovered from its temporary aberration; It would be the genus male of the haute couture who would be found to have first poured oil on the turbulent modal waters. Not that any impeachment of the gentle couturiers was intended— it was rather our belief that the mas­ culine eye was a little more sensitive to the decline of . feminine charm that had been brought about by the mod- Gold and Black Satin Successfully Combined In Evening Wrap. rose georgette, built exactly like a raincoat, worn with a white blouse and plaited skirt of the coat fabric. Classic Dinner Frocks. Dinner frocks in silk.lace are clas­ sics. or one may choose a simple frock In pale cliifljon trimmed with delicate lace, such as green biscuit lace or Nicole Groult’s -green georgette, frock with gold scallops and embroidery. Chez LpWifc is CInintal’s name for a black silk velvet dinner gown with fitted velvet girdle caught with' a big rhinestone buckle at the front to ac­ centuate the very full skirt and blous­ ing bodice. The slender rounded yoke is in net with worked bands of the velvet overlaid. A young girl may wear Chantal’s MIa in bright pink tulle In bouffant lines with two separate rows of shir- Gown of Pastel, Blue; Coat Also of Blue; Wide Skunk Collar. ernistic orgy. Tou may remember the formerly current sentiment that one day the puissant male would rise indignantly and demand that these encroachments on his domain must forthwith cease and that woman be womanlike again. That long expected uprising has never taken place—either because the masculine of the species has be­ come extraordinarily docile, or be­ cause his influence on feminine fash­ ions has always been greatly exag­ gerated. In the early and hectic days of the period from which we are just emerging, one of the moot questions of the moment was whether milady dressed primarily to attract her own or the opposite sex. The overwhelm­ ing consensus of opinion favored the opposite -sex, and tearfully protesting Grundys of immediate post-war vin­ tage would always call upon man to arrest the decadent surgings of femi­ nine fashions. Reaction Is Setting In. Spring openings and fall openings came and went and each succeeding season saw 'he new order more firmly entrenched, th e obvious sacrifice of charm In the modem styles was heed­ ed by neither couturier nor cou- turiere—by neither beau nor belle— Jeanne Lanvin, Paul Poiret and oth­ ers battled strongly to maintain the graceful tradition of the old regime— now and then a prominent member of society would at'tempt to stem the tides by wearing a gown which Incor­ porated something of Victorian ele­ gance. But these were the merest drops of water in an ocean of man­ nish modernism—the sweeping modal tides were not even momentarily dis­ turbed by such occasional dissenters. Lately the momentum of these tides has perceptibly lessened—in fact at this moment they are completely arrested, and an inevitable and happy reaction is.setting in. This secession from what has been, called the new order has not been accomplished by masculine opinion or masculine de­ signer—neither is it the'result of any sudden7 awakening of the feminine style conscience. If any of these causes had inaugurated this new feel­ ing In fashions you would be justified in considering the changed order as merely. transitory and subject to re­ lapse momentarily into accustomed channels. 'Cause for Decline.. Tlie actual cause for the decline of those themes 'Whicli are considered modernistic Is, as Nicole Groult sage­ ly points, out, because their force Is spent. It is scarcely possible to con­ ceive Of a feminine coiffure which is any straighter or shorter than the current bob—the presenjt conforming hipline has been emphasized to an ex­ aggerated degree and the skirt will only become new again when it drops lower. It Is merely a question of. fashion cycles—when once a cycle is started-It . is bound to continue until its span, is aver. Protestations, cru­ sades, indignation—all of this is so much baying ait the moon; each mode will continue until its cycle is finished, and the normal life of a fashion cycle, varies between five and ten years. The new cycle .will be distinctly feminine, of course, nor will It make such a fetish of youth as has been done these- recent years. And In so far as that Is, a guide, it would be advisable immediately to adapt your wkrdrobe accordingly—dropping your skirt hem a little, paying less atten­ tion to the snug hipline, and letting your locks grow a little Iongei and a little wavier.- Later you will do more, But for the moment these' faint bn< significant changes will suffice. TipsforLarge : Alfalfa Yields Big Increase Obtained by University of Illinois LastYear. Alfalfa grown on the Davenport plots of the college of agriculture, University of Illinois, has been made to produce what Is considered a big hay yield through careful attention to 6ix points, according to F. W. Gault, of 'the agronomy department Last year, for instance, the hay yield was increased from 1.8 tons an acre up to 4.5 tons an acre of high quality alfal­ fa hay. This increase is a large one and offers considerable in the way of more economical production, he said. Eye on Six Points. Similar results no doubt could be obtained on farms In. certain other sec­ tions by keeping an eye on the six points, Gault said. In the first place, the soil must be sweet. The land which grows alfalfa successfully must have naturally a large supply, of lime or else enough limestone must be applied to sweeten the soil. The land which produced the 4.5 tons was heavily limed. In the second place, alfalfa does best on fertile land. Manure, sweet clover plowed under, and phosphate greatly aid the growth of alfalfa. The land which produced the 4.5 tons had manure, lime and phosphate applied to it Both rock phosphate and bone phosphate were used in comparison. They were about equally successful. Sweet clover residues were also used In comparison with manure. The land for successful alfalfa growing must be well drained. 'The land In the above test was thorough­ ly tiled. Good Seedbed Essential. A good seedbed is essential In get­ ting a start at alfalfa growing. The land should be thoroughly worked down In order to destroy weeds and to furnish a fine, smooth seedbed for the germination of the alfalfa seed. Good seed is essential. Northern- grown seed, such as South Dakota No. 12, has proven to be the best. The northern strains are winter hardy and less susceptible to disease. The rate of seeding may vary from 12 to 15 pounds of seed an acre. Good thorough inoculation is neces­ sary as the sixth requirement Prop­ er inoculation may be had by using soil which Is known to carry alfalfa or sweet clover inoculation or good reliable commercial cultures may be used. After an alfalfa stand is secured, considerable ,caution must be exer­ cised In order to keep it producing to the best advantage. It is not best to cut alfalfa during Its first year’s growth. When cut for hay, the cut­ tings should be made when about one- tenth of the alfalfa is in bloom. The laist cutting in the fall should not be made too late. There should be time after the last cutting to allow a growth of six to eight -inches to de­ velop. 'This growth allows plant food to be translocated to the roots and lessens the danger of winter killing and insures a vigorous growth .the following spring. Liberal Use of Potato Seed a Good Investment The importance of using a liberal quantity of seed potatoes is not gen­ erally recognized by commercial po­ tato growers. The recent accomplish­ ment of a firm of California potato growers in producing 1,038.3 bushels, of potatoes on a measured acre and an average yield of 1,001 on nine acres would not have been possible if only the usual quantity of seed had been planted. These growers consider the liberal use of seed a good ipvestment. In the production of their phenomenal yield seed potatoes were planted at the rate of 40 bushels per acre or more than bwice the quantity used by our most progressive potato growers. Experimental results indicate there Is a close correlation between the quantity of seed used and the yield per acre. Planting large-size sets in­ sures a-better germination and a larg­ er set of tubers, therefore It is a desirable practice provided the re­ sultant plants have an abundant sup­ ply of plant food and moisture.. Largej size sets mean more stems and tubers per set, consequently more nourish­ ment is needed to'develop these tubers to market size. Unitefl States Department of Agri­ culture Bulletin 1248-D discusses size of potato sets and^also compares the relative value of . whole and cut seed. It should prove valuable to potato growers Interested In the production of maximum yields. Copies may be obtained, as long as the supply lasts, by writing the department at Wash­ ington, D. 0. wm Give breeding- poultry liberal amounts of green feed.

When It arrived Sam was In It Before it stopped he had rec­ ognized the waiting pair through the open Ironwork of the door. To Laurie, the elevator and Sam’s jaw seemed to drop In unison. The next Instant the black boy had resumed his habitual expression of in­ difference to all human interests. Dead-eyed, he stared past the two young things. Dead-eared, he Ignored their moving lips. But there was fel­ lowship In the jocund youth of all three. In an Instant when Laurie stepped back Into the ball as the car shot upward, the eyes of the negro and white man flashed a question and an answer: In Sam's: “You done took her out an’ fed her?” In Laurie’s: “You bet your boots I did I” CHAPTER VI Laurie Solves a Problem Laurie walked across the square to his own rooms. A sudden gloom had fallen upon him. He saw himself sit­ ting In his study, gazing remotely at his shoes, until It was time to dress for the evening and his formal call on Doris. The prospect was not attractive. He hoped Bangs would be at home. If so, perhaps he, could goad him Into one of the rages In which Bangs was so picturesque; but he was not sure of even this mild diversion. Bodney had been wonderfully sweet-tempered the past three days, though preoccu­ pied, as if In the early stages of, cre­ ative art. LaurIe half suspected that he had begun work on his play. The suspicion aroused conflicting emo­ tions of relief and half-jealous regret. Why couldn’t the fellow wait till they could go at It together? He ignored the fact that already the fellow bad waited six weeks. Bangs was not at home. The square, flat-topped.mahogany desk at which the two young men worked together blinked up at Laurie with the un- dimmed luster of a Sne piece of fur­ niture on which the polisher alone had labored that morning; Without taking the trouble to remove his hat and coat, Laurie dropped into a chair and tried to think things out But the process of thinking eluded him, or, rather, his mind shied at It aa a skit­ tish horse might shy If confrontedon a dark road with shapes vaguely fa­ miliar yet mysterious. Frankly, he couldn’t make head or tall of this mess Doris seemed to be In. His memory reminded him that such “messes” existed. He had heard and read of all sorts of plot3 and counter-plots, In which all types of hu­ mans figured. His Imagination under­ scored the memory.’ . But someway, Doris—he loved to repeat the name even to himself—someway Doris was not the type that figured In such plots. Also, there were other things hard to understand. She had let herself starve for four days, though she wore around her neck a chain that she ad­ mitted represented a month’s support And this fellow, Herbert Bansome Shaw—where the devil did he come In? A fellow with a name like that and with snaky eyes like his was capa­ ble of anything. And yet— Young Devon had the intolerance of American youth for the things out­ side his personal experience. The sort ot thing Doris was hinting at didn’t happen here; that was all there was to it What was happening seemed pretty dear. The girl was, or fancied herself, In the power of an un­ scrupulous scamp who was using that power for some purpose of his own. If that Wjis It—and this thing, Laurie handsomely, admitted, really did hap­ pen sometimes—it ought to he fairly easy for. an athletic chap of twecty- four to put an end to It He recalled the look In Shaw’s projecting eyes, the snakelike forward thrust of his sleek head; and an Intense desire seized him to get his hands on the fellow's throat'and choke him till his eyes stuck out twice as far as they did flow. \I t that were duty, then duty would be a delight Having reached this edifying point Jn his reflections, he rose. Why de­ lay? Perhaps he could find the chap somewhere. Perhaps the waiter at the restaurant where they had lunched knew where he lived. But,,.- no, of course not It was not the kind' of restaurant his sort patronized. Shaw had simply followed Mm and Doris there; that was all there was to It He, Laurie, would have to wait for another • encounter. . Meantime he might run around to the-club and box for an hour. He had been getting a bit out of condition this month. A boat with McDonald, the dub trainer, would do him good. Or, by Jove, he’d go and see Louise OrdwayI He had promised his new brother- in-law, Bob Warren, to keep an eye on Bob’s sister while Warren and Bar­ bara were In Japan, and Laurie had kept the promise with religious fidel­ ity and very real pleasure. He Im­ mensely liked and'admired Mrs. Ord- way, who seemed, strangely, to be al­ ways at home of late. He had formed the habit of running In several times a week. Louise not only -talked, but, as Laurie expressed it,, “she said things.” He had spent with her many of the afternoons and evenings Bangs checked up to the cabarets. He glanced at his watch. For an hour he had been impersonating a gentleman engaged In profound medi­ tation, with the sole result that he had decided to go to see Louise. It. was quite possible he could enlist her interest in Doris. Now, that was an inspiration I Perhaps Mrs. Ordway would understand Doris. Every wom­ an, he ^vaguely believed, understood all othOT women. He smoothed his hair, straightened his tie, and hurried off. He found Mrs. Ordway reclining on a chaise longue before an open fire, In the boudoir In which his sister Barbara had spent so many hours ot the past year, playing the Invalid to sleep. She wore a superb Mandarin coat of soft and ravishing tints, and her love for rich colors was reflected In the au­ tumnal tones of her room and even In the vari-coiored flames of her drift­ wood fire. To' Louise these colors were as definite as mellow trumpet- tones. She had responded to them all her life. She was responding to them still, now that she lay dying among them. Something In their superb ar­ rogance called for an answering note from her own arrogant soul. She greeted her brother’s young brother-in-law with the almost dis­ dainful smile she now turned on everything, but which was softened a' little for him. Ignorant .of the mal­ ady that was eating her life away, as a He Found Mrs. Ordway Reclining on a Chaiso Longue Before an Open Fire. Indeed all her friends were ignorant of It, save Barbara and her doctors, Laurie delighted In the picture she made. He showed his delight as he dropped Into a chair by her side. They fell at once Into the casual ban­ ter that characterized their inter­ course. “I wonder why I ever leave here?” he mused aloud, as the clock struck six. He had been studying with a slight shock, the changes that had taken place In the few days since he had seen her. For the first time the suspicion crossed his' mind that she might be seriously 111. Throughout their talk he had observed things, trifles, perhaps, but significant which, if they had occurred before, had .es­ caped him. Susanne, Mrs. Ordway’s maid, though modestly In the background, was rarely out of sight; and a white- capped nurse, till now an occasional and illusive vision In the halls, blew In and out ot the sickroom like a breeze, bringing liquids In glasses, which the patient obediently swallowed. Laurie, his attention once caught took It all In. But his face gave no hint of his new knowledge,, and the eyes of Louise still met his with the chal­ lenge they turned on every one these days—a challenge that definitely for­ bade either understanding or sym­ pathy. “The real problem is why you ever come.” Sie spoke lightly, but looked at him with genuine affection. Laurie was one of her favorites, her prime favorite, Indeed, next to Bob and Bar­ bara. J Ie smiled at her with tender significance. "Ton know why I come.” “I do,” she agreed, "perfectly. I know; you’re quite capable of flirting with me, too, If I’d let you, you; ab­ surd boy. Dearie”—for a moment or two she was almost serious—“why don’t yon fall In love?” “And this from you?’ “Don’t be foolish. Tou know I like your ties,” she Interpolated kindly. “But, really, isn’t there some one?” Laurie turned his profile to her, pulled a lock of hair over his brow, clasped his hands between hta knees and posed esthetlcally. “Do you know,” he sighed, “I be­ gin to think that, just possibly, per­ haps, there’s a slight chance—that there Is I” “Be serious. ■ Tell me about her." “Well, she’s a girl.” He produced this confidence with ponderous sol­ emnity. “She lives across the square from me,” -he added. “Things brighten,” commented Lou­ ise, drily. “Go on.” “She’s mysterious. I don’t know, who she Is, or anything about her.' But I know that she’s In trouble.” “Of course she Isl I have never known a mysterious maiden that wasn’t ” commented the woman of the world. "What’s her particular va­ riety of trouble?” Laurie reflected. “That’s hard to say,” Jie brought out at last. “But It appears to be mixed up with an offensive person In a crumpled blue suit who answers to the name of Herbert Bansome Shaw. Have you ever heard of him?” Louise wrinkled her fastidious nose. “Never, I’m happy to say. But he doesn’t sound attractive. However, tell me all about them. There seems a good chance that they may get you Into trouble.” “That’s what she said.” “It’s the one' gleam of Intelligence I see In the situation,” commented his candid friend. “Is she pretty?” “As .lovely In her way as you are. Think you could help her any?" wheedled Laurie. “I doubt It. I’m too selfish ..to be bothered with gtrlB who are In trou­ ble. PU tell you who can help her— Sonya Orleneff.” “Of coursel” Laurie beamed at her. “Wonder why I didn’t think of that” . “Probably because It was so obvious. Sonya Is in town, as It happens, stop­ ping at' the Warwick. She has brought the Infant Samuel to New Tork to have his adenoids cut out Samuel made 'a ,devastating visit here this morning. He’s getting as fat as a little pig, and when he Walks he puffs like a worn-out automobile go­ ing up aj steep grade. He came up my stairs on *low,’ and Pm sure-they heard him on the avenue. I almost offered him a glass of gasolene. But he.is a lamb,” she added reflectively. Oddly enough, Samuel, late of New York’s tenements, was another of her favorites. Laurie 'was following his own thoughts. Sonya was In town! Then, however complicated his problem, It was already as good as solved. “My dinner will be up soon,” sug­ gested Loalse. “Are you dining with me?” He glanced at his watch, reproach­ fully shook his head at It and rose. "Three hours of me are all you can have this time. But I’ll probably drop around about dawn tomorrow.” "Nice boy I” . Her hot hand caught his and held It “Laurie, if—If—I should send for you suddenly some­ time—you’d come and—stand by?” All the gaiety was wiped from his face.' His brilliant black eyes, oddly softened, looked Into her haughty blue ones with sudden understanding. “You bet I will I Any time, any­ thing! You’ll remember that? Send for me as If I were Bob. Perhaps you’ve forgotten It,” he' added, moi4 lightly, “but I happen 'to be your younger brother.” , For a moment her face twisted. The mask ot her arrogance fell from It ■ Fate is about to turn a trick,' but Laurie is too practical and hard-headed to worry over "mysteries.1' (TO BE CONTINUED.) Cajun Justices Not Ruled by Blackstone The old cajun justices of southwest­ ern Louisiana were Important person­ ages. The trials, which were’ held at the justices’ homes, were made all-day affairs, the neighbors driving In from miles around. Evidence was taken in­ terminably, although th^v verdict was usually based upon the justice’s point of view rather than upon any mere point ot law. For example, I know of a planter who brought suit against one of his tenants for the recovery of a calf. His .ownership being ■ proved, _ .he was awarded possession of the animal. Next he was ordered to pay the costs of the court. ■ ~ ' “But” objected the planter, “I have won my case. The loser should.jpay.” "True,”' agreed the justice; “But then, m’sleu, you have the money, whereas the other has not” 7 However, It was In domestic mat­ ters that these “prairie judges” really shone. One of them declared proudly Qiat he could marry and . divorce -•-v quicker than any other man In the state. x “It Is quite simple,” said he. "Gob­ ble wishes to tie up with some girl. That Is all right He gives me $5 and I write down his marriage In my book. “After aI while he don’t like It? He wants to be free? That is'all right again.

DrinkWaterIf Kidneys Bother Take a Tablespoonful of Salts' If Back Pains or Bladder Is . Irritated Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says a noted au­ thority, who tells us that too much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys In their efforts to expel it from the blood. They be­ come sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times .during the night. To help neutralize these irritating acids; to help,cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body’s urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here. Take a tablespoon­ ful In a glass of water before break- „ fast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate .sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts .is inexpensive; cannot injure and makes a delightful efferves­ cent lithia-water drink.

PREVENT THEM IVtTH JLsk Ify u rD o c to r NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Smith of Illinois Is Barred From the Senate—More Money for Army. By EDWARD W. PICKARD FRANK L. SMITH, senator-elect and senator-designate from Illinois, is not to be permitted to take a seat In the senate, at least until the commit­ tee on privileges and elections has passed on his qualifications. By a vote of 48 to 33 the senate on Thurs­ day withheld The oath , of office from hfm. Twenty-nine Republicans and four Democrats voted In favor of seat­ ing Smith, and 15 Republicans and 32 Democrats against him. Mr. Smith ap­ peared in the senate chamber Wednes­ day and submitted his credentials in the form of an appointment by Gov­ ernor Small. Senator Deneen of Ull- npls at once moved that Smith be robra in . pending reference of the charges against him to the privileges and elections committee. Senator Reed of Mfcsouri moved that the oath be withheld temporarily, contending that Smith’s disqualification already had been established by the investi­ gation of the. Illinois primary slush fund scandal conducted by the special committee of which Reed is chairman. General debate on the matter was thus opened, and for hours the sena­ tors discussed the problem, some hold­ ing .that th e. senate had no power over Smith until he became a mem­ ber, and others demanding that he be refused the oath of ‘office. Constitu­ tional points were argued and prece­ dents brought forward; and while nat­ urally no one defended Smith’s accept­ ance of campaign funds from Sam Insull, public utilities magnate, the number of those who „ defended his right to be sworn in was rather sur­ prising. Next day the debate was resumed and a vote taken, with the result noted above. The committee’s Inquiry may not be completed for sev­ eral weeks, possibly not before March 4, so there is little chance for Smith to get in this session. The vote seemed to make it certain he will be barred also by the new senate. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE’S economy program for the army was knocked galley-west by the house, which ap­ proved of appropriations totaling $286,- 612,674 for the strictly military activi­ ties of the War department. This makes available $6,477,000 more than was recommended by the budget bu­ reau. One provision maintains the en­ listed personnel strength of the army at 118,750. Other sections increase the army ration allowance from'33.74 cents a day per man to approximately 40 cents a day by, adding $2,688,539 to the budget’s estimates, provide for the purchase of 1,500 more horses and 725 more mules . than ,the budget would have allowed, provide $942,530 more for National Guard activities, $446,- 878 more for the organized reserves, and $382,410 more for the operation of citizens’ military training camps than the budget recommended. “Big navy” advocates In the senate' appropriations committee carried on the fight for construction of three light cruisers, that was just’ barely lost In the house, and the committee amended the house navy supply bill by including that feature, lncteasing the total voted by the lower chamber by $5,267,854. This was highly pleasing to the strong national defense advocates, but word came promptly from the White House that the President would veto Uie bill if It went to him carrying the provision for building additional cruis­ ers this year. He still feels that this would be a step toward precipitating another naval armament race and ■ would be a violation of the spirit of the Washington arms treaty, A vote of 50 to 84, six short of the necessary two-thirds, the sen­ ate rejected the; Lausanne treaty with: Turkey, for the ratification of which a long and earnest campaign had been carried on . and which had been de­ bated for many hours In executive ses­ sion.' The treaty was sponsored by the administration and supported by I I Senator Borah, chairman of the foreign relations committee. Senators Swan­ son and King led the opposition, con­ tending that the pact gives up historic guarantees of justice for Americans In Turkey without securing adequate safeguards In their place, that it in effect acquiesces in the Turkish re­ fusal to recognize American naturali- .zation laws In so far as they affect Turks who return to their native land; that it fails adequately to protect the charitable and philanthropic; enter­ prises of Americans in Turkey, and that it abandons Armenia, notwith­ standing pledges that its independence would be secured. Nearly all other nations have made similar treaties with Turkey, and there have been warnings of retaliatory ac­ tion against American interests in that country if the treaty were not ratified. DECLARING that governmental as­ sistance is necessary In dealing with the agricultural problem, the house committee on agriculture re­ ported favorably the Haugen farm re­ lief bill. Speaking for. the comqgttee, Chairman Haugen said: “The big problems of American agriculture to­ day are beyond the power of individ­ ual farmers or of their relatively small organizations to solve. These prob­ lems arise because the prices of farm products are uncertain and unprofit­ able due (I) to seasonal variations in yield and (2 ) to competition with the produets of European, and Asiatic peasant labor and of new lands with, low production costs. “The best judgment is that the rem­ edy will be found (I) In carrying products over from fat years to lean years and. equating a price based on supply and demand over a period of years rather than for one year, and (2) In managing the surplus so as to make the tariff on agricultural products ef­ fective when necessary to maintain stable markets. “To do these things requires a reser­ voir. of money and credit after the manner of the capital stock of the federal reserve banks.” Re v e r s in g the finding of an Ohio Federal District court, the Su­ preme court of the United States In a unanimous opinion affirmed the right of the senate to compel the appearance of witnesses before its committees, to force the production of books and records, and to punish for contempt those witnesses who refuse to testify. ,The'opinion was in the case of Mal S. Daugherty, brother of the former attorney general, and he was remand­ ed to the custody of the senate's ser­ geant at arms. Members of the senate interpreted the finding as . ample grounds for the punishment of Sam­ uel Insull, utilities magnate; State’s Attorney Robert E. Crowe, and Ed­ ward H. Wright, colored member of the Illinois state commerce commis­ sion,all of Chicago, for their refusal to testify'during the investigation of the recent Illinois senatorial primary. W HATEVER may be the outcome of his other troubles, President' Calles of'Mexico has succeeded In one of his aims. He has conquered the hitherto. unconquerable.Yaqui Indians of Sonora. 'Their leaders, including Chief Luis Matus and eight governors of pueblos, presented to General Man- ” zo, commander of the federal troops, a document offering to surrender un­ conditionally, to give up their arms and to support the government In its fight against its enemies. This offer was accepted by President Calles and Minister of War Amaro, The Yaquis, who were short of. money, food and ammunition' said they had been de­ ceived by the De la Huerta party and by agents in the United States and . induced to rebel.’ The , war against them lasted six months and the gov­ ernment built a great military, road 300 miles long that L completely sur­ rounded .the Indians, in the Bacatete mountain region. ' Catholic rebels In the state of Jalisco, sustained a severe defeat by* the fed­ eral troops under General Feyera at t Atotonilco and lost that town. It was asserted In Mexico - City that- these rebels were lead by Bishop Orozco y Jimlnez of Guadalajara, but this is doubted by the close friends o f that prelate. In the state of . Zacatecas the rebels were reported as making a strong attack oh Nochistan.: This matter of ■ the “ Catholic rebel­ lion” 'caused a lively, debate . In the United States senate when Heflin of Alabama made an attack on the Knights of Columbus, asserting they were trying to involve the United States in war with Mexico because of that country’s treatment of the Cath­ olic church. His charges were strongly assailed by Walsh of Massachusetts, Ransdelt of Louisiana and Ashurst of Arizona, all Democrats ,and all Cath­ olics ; by Bruce of Maryland and Reed of Missouri, who also are Democrats. The senate also took cognizance of the dispute over the Mexican oil and land laws. Senator Robinson of Ar­ kansas offered a resolution declaring it the sense of the senate' that the dis­ pute should be settled by arbitration, and Secretary of State Kellogg promptly issued a statement declaring that he. welcomed Robinson’s sugges­ tion and had already been consider­ ing the possibility of applying the prin­ ciple of arbitration - to the question. The Mexican government accepted ar­ bitration “In. principle:” Alberto J. Pani, Mexican minister of finance and the close friend of Wall street leaders, resigned his portfolio last week after a long struggle against the more radical men In the Calles government. It was understood he would be appointed ambassador to Paris. D ISPATCHES from Nicaragua say Dr. Juan B. Sacasa, leader of the liberal rebels of Nicaragua, has re­ jected an offer from President Diaz for a peace conference. Reports from Puerto Cabezas, the liberal headquar­ ters, ‘ are that the revolutionists are planning new attacks against Presi­ dent Diaz’ forces along the Escondido river. Possibly to head off this move­ ment, Admiral L’atimer landed more American marines under the command of CapL John W. Thoinasson, the au­ thor of “Fix Bayonets.” Sacasa said his troops had defeated the conserva­ tives at San Pedro. In an interview he termed ridiculous and absurd the statements that he has bolshevistic tendencies. ANTI-FOREIGN sentiment in China is increasing to an alarming ex­ tent and the foreigners are being re­ moved from the danger zones as rap­ idly as possible. The week- started with a serious riot in Foochow where foreign women were beaten and dragged through the streets and sev­ eral ministers were roughly treated. All the foreign schools, churches and hospitals were plundered, and a lot of Chinese orphan girls were abducted. The British government is frankly ap­ prehensive and is hurrying large rein­ forcements to Shanghai. Assurances have been given that France will co­ operate in the defense of the foreign concessions there and elsewhere. The French concession In Shanghai houses more than p. thousand Americans. Prepiaratlons are being made to with­ stand a native strike and boycott like that at Hankow. The northern troops under Marshal Sun still control Shang-' hai and its environs but probably can­ not stand against the attack which the Cantonese are planning to make imme­ diately. : So far thp American naval forces over there have only been called on to rescued endangered Americans. F' EDERAL JUDGE WILKERSON In Chicago approved the sale of the Chicago, Milwaukee & SL Paul rail-. Way and control of Ihp company passed from federal receivership and Into , the hands of the National City company of New York and Kuhn, Loeb Co. The court also approved the re­ organization plans but these must have the . consent of the- Interstate Com­ merce commission. ' •-. Coincident with Judge Wilkerson’s decree, announcement was made by Ralph Bud<L president of the Great Northern railway, that plans are be­ ing concluded for a Closer alliance among the Great Northern, the Bur­ lington, and the Northern' Pacific roads, so-called Hill lines,:: dominated by the Morgan financial Interests. A LMOST before It was in print, the prediction that Doctor Curtius would fail in forming'a German cab­ inet was fulfilled. He gave up the at­ tempt and President .von 'Hindenburg. again called on Doctor Marx to under­ take the job. He accepted; despite the open-opposition of the Nationalists'un­ der the leadership of Count Westarp' ;who have renewed, their fight against .the: republic. On Thursday Marx told the president that his‘efforts had beer fruitless. (By REV. P. B. FITZWATBR. D D^ Deail of Day and Bvenlnff Schools* Moody Bible * j*®!*y927.°^WestcrD^NewBPapeT Union.)

Stewardship In money is only a small part of our responsi­ bility. This parable like that of the ten virgins is associated .with the sec­ ond coming of Christ In both in­ stances the unpreparedness for His coming on the part of the -people is exhibited. In that of the ten virgins their unreadiness consisted In their failure of inward life—absence of the Holy GhosL In this of the talents it consisted In their failure to properly use the gifts which had been en­ trusted to them. The first was fail­ ure to watch; the second was failure to work. By talents is meant what­ ever gifts and powers one possesses as gifts from God, whether of nature or grace, such as strength', reason, en­ ergy, knowledge. Influence, time, money, ability to speak, sing, etc. 1. The Distribution of the Talents (vv. 14, 15). L It was a sovereign acL He called his own servants and distrib­ uted to them his own money. As the One who created us and absolutely owns us, He has assigned us our places and given us our several pow­ ders, intending that we put them to the best possible use. 2. It was an intelligent acL “Ac­ cording to his several ability.” The God who made us knew our ability to use gifts, therefore has made the dis­ tribution upon that basis. 8. It was a purposeful act. The talents were given to be'traded with. They were not given to be used for one’s own gain and profit, but as stock In trade for the enrichment and glory of the Master. • II. The Employment of the Talenta (w . 16-18). L AU the servants recognized that the talents were1 not their own—that they were responsible to the Lord for the use made of them: 2. Two servants used their talents. The five-talented man put his to use and gained five more. The two-tal­ ented man put his to use and gained two -more. This shows that God’s gifts can be increased. The exercise of any gift increases IL The faithful use of what we have In the place we are will prepare us for greater useful­ ness .and honor. 3, The one hid his talenL The fact that one possesses but one talent should not discourage him, but should make him strive harder. God does not reward according to what we possess, but according to our faithfulness. The crime Of the one talented man was not that he had but one talenL hut that he hid the talent which the Lord gave him. ill. TheAccountingfortheTaIents (vv. 19-30). L Its certainty. There is a day ,coming when we ali must give an ac­ count of our stewardship. 2. The time. . This will be at the coming of the Lord. If we have done well, we shall then have praise. If we have been unfaithful, we shall then be cast out from the presence of the Lord. 3. The_ Judgments announced. (1) Reward of the faithful (a) Praise—“Well done.” We ail like to be praised. From childhood on through life commendation is pleas­ ing. (b) Promotion—“Be thou ruler over many, things.” Promotion Is. de- ' slrable to all. (c) Entrance upon the joy of the Lord. The five talented indn and the two talented man re­ ceived the same praise and the same promotion. ” (2) Punishment of the faithless.

One'of the saddest occurrences that has happened in this section in some, time occcurred near Hol­ man’s X Roads Thursday after­ noon about five o’clock, when the residence of W. D. Booe, wks de­ stroyed by fire together- with bis little four-Aonths old sou, who was in bed when the fire occurred. Mr. Booe was away from home at woik, while his wifs was at the barn milking. A three-year-old son was in the house, but made his escape. The house and all of the contents were destroyed. -Mr. Booe carried no insurance. The death of their little son is the saddest feature of the fire, and the loss of their home and everything they had is also sad. It is not know whether the house caught from a defective flue or an incubator. Mr. Booe is left in de­ stitute circumstances and if any of our readers wish to contribute to this bereaved family they can send- check or'money to the Record of­ fice which will be acknowledged and turned over to the family.

G. Hastings, wide­ ly-.recognized agricultural authority and President of the Georgia Associ­ ation, a statewide development organ­ isation with the avowed purpose, of breaking up the slavery to cotton that exists so largely In Georgia and other cotton states. ’ ..JJXt looks as if our cotton farmers enjoy having the very life 'bumped’ oiit ot them ever so often the way they come back and invite ‘bumping’ every period1 of high priced cotton. It’s a mystery the way they keep coming back tor more punishment In the face of'repeated ‘bumps.’” Our, farm folks, our country. bank­ ers,. supply merchants, etc., must all get it through their heads that' the rules of the cotton growing game are changing. One-third to one-half bale per acre is a money loser on any price that is in sight. - Low yields per acre always. means’- high cost per pound. There is one answer, and one an­ swer'only, to-.the cotton-growing prob- lem, and that is less acres in cot­ ton and more cotton per acre. As the yield per acre goes up, the cost of making it per pound automatically comes down. We can’c have much control over selling price, but we can keep production costs down; .’ Less ., acres In cotton means more acres available for food and grain crops,' cows, hogs and chickens. Cost of making cotton is largely a food.and grain cost, food tor the family and food for the working live stock. Com, oats,-hay and forage for the mules, horses, cows, hogs ^and chickens: meat, meal, fresh and banned vegeta­ bles and fruits for the family table are made at half the cost or less of what is paid for same to merchants or dealers. In almost every cotton growing community there are one or more farmers “sitting; easy” right now. The secret of their easy posture is that they ; own their'cotton instead of owe it for food or grain or borrowed money. They are not pinched. They have corn or other grain in the crib, hay. or forage a-plenty In stack or barn, meat either In smokehouse. or on hoof, milk and butter from the cows and plenty of chickens for reg­ ular use, as well as when the preacher comes around. Most of if not all the year round there are fresh vegetables from the garden and home-canned goods from their own shelves Instead of the merchant’s. 1 . The safe way, the only way to make you “sit easy” in times like this is to ‘‘live*'at home-and board at the same place.’* The Baby’s Gold Continual “ do*1ng* with iuwinfal n.eoioKv upse s d .liri/te lii.le Htuiituchv.

Tip For Cotton Mill Men , Here’s encouragement fop the textile manufacturers. ^ The News ciiues by way of the Chapel Hill Weekly that cotton stockings are now fashionable female wearMn New York city. The-Weekly says a Chapel Hill woman who went to New York receutly came home wearing cotton stockings. , She told her friends that “ among the smartly dressed people in the big city'cottou stockings are becoming exceedlv fashionable being regard- as somdwhat exclusive.” AU all the ,world knows— 01 all that part of it has given heed to the troubles of the cotton manufactur­ ing, industry--ft has been alleged that the fashion of the women Ieav , ing off cotton wear has much to do with, the depression of trade. Appeals -have been made to South­ ern women to come to the rescue of the home industry by donning cotton wear as an act .of patriotism. Bat we are all slaves, to fa;hion more or less, only' the women be­ ing, a little more so; and far the women haven't answered the ap­ peal to wear cotton goods and more of.them, to any noticialle extent. But if that should became the style in New Yoik, the work is done. The Chapel Hill women wouldn’t have worn cotton hose to New York. But when she saw the fash­ ionable people . in the metropolis' "a -hurry until the session is.well-ad- wearing them as soinething exclu­ sive,-she fell in line at once. vTbe Chapel Hill editor who records this soinewhat momentous information, suggests a method to keep it going, He says.- ? I am moved to suggest that the textile men take warning from their experience of the last few years and establish a style-stimu­ lating orauizatiori. They ought to have a well financed centra! bureau in New York, . whose business it would be to "conduct propagauda for fashions that ,would require the liberal use of cotton goods. .Of course the thing would have to be named (and womaned) with good mixers who would ingratiate them­ selves with society leaders and modistes. Seems a good tip for the cotton manufacturers. It’s ' a waste of time to say that our Southern wbtnen should wear cottou without waiting for a suggestion from Nev/ York. They don’t seem capable of setting styles, or at least they won’t try, They take the pattern from the style centers.—Statesv.lle Daily A Great Country. With all its faults, this is pro­ bably the best governed country in the world, and has been so for one hundred, and fifty years. But this does not mean that it will continue; to be so unless our people realize thatq/government is composed of its people; and it is good or ^aci just in proportion t^ its keeping its individual’life good or . bad. We rejefct our old landmarks, if we mil - t tkes bigness for greatness? If we break down—or allow to be brok­ en down—the safeguards that; have held us- together as a people— whether it shall in -the name of- science, progress or what not—our follows will be called upon to pay dearly for our follies . The great Roman governmet brake down— and was covered with rust, and moth, sileuce and dusty sleep by destroying—or allowing to be de- stoyed—the individuality of its citi­ zenship and if we follow the s.ame path we will inevitably reach the same destination.—Grteneville Star I ., —- N The Record has moved in the March building near x the court house. > Legislative Time. A South Carolina legislator;'is complaining that the Palmetto Gen­ eral Assembly- lias contracted the habit of adjourning from Friday until Tuesday,' which means- the- loss of much time and .a consider; able buch of money as well. . The South Carolina lawmaker says toe- employes of his legislature cost the State $800 a day; that’the body, is in recess and that each two day week-eiid adjournment means that $1,600 of the State’s good- money is said about the pay of the solons, but is is presumed that theirs rubs on too. Jt is possible,’, however, that if the fewer legislative work days mean fewer laws the South Carolinians will be the gaineTS, Not­ withstanding the apparent weekly loss of the $1,600. - ’ : North Carolina legislators are practicing the week-end-vacation to some extent, but nobody has com­ plained of the loss as yet. 'THey have a Session on Saturday that is a mailer of form only, and they try to do a little work on Monday night to make up for time lost' 011 Mondav . But if our legislators can’t compile e the work in 60 days the loss is theirs. They will have to work without the per diem. It takes the aver­ age legislative body quite a spell to get well under way—or at least the North Carolina solons don’t get in vanced. It takes time for committee hearings and the most important measures are not pressed early; -in the session. They want time .to think-abd’ut them—iLtljey,d6'tlBuk Always seems to iis as if thev are not disposed to work until they have to. They disadvantage' of the rush is the' half baked, legisla­ tion. But the habit of a lawmik ing body are as 'fixed as the courts. They follow precedent.—Statesville Daily. _ - Kick ’Em Out The great, city of New. York has seven million—or more—people. A few, comparatively accumulate for- tunesr-a few more, comparatively, have a competency, and then 'there are great numbers who have to tdil day in and day out for a bare exis tence. and there are’ thousands of them who hardly, have that, but who live in’the squalor of the dirfest pov­ erty with only charity prospects, and a pauper’s grave ahead. And this is true of alfgreat cit’es. If you, are snugly houseed on a farm—even though.it ig.a very small one—don’t allow some self-seeking politician to persuade you into'believing that you are haying theMiardesc time in the world. And that somebody is "do­ ing you,” But think of the squalor, the poverty, the suffering for.bread, that mav be found id any \of our cit­ ies—and more easily found than you might think—and then walk out into God’s free sunshine,, drink in ""the beauties that are "free to you on ev­ ery hand—many of which are un known to the city dwellers—go out into you^garden. or orchard, .and gather in such delecacies as the - city dweiler never even dreams of, sit down at the. table and with thd* en­ tire family, enjoy them and thank the Lord that He has given you the great privilege of being a farmer; and kick the first- little two-by-four politician off^ the premises, -who comes along with his direfnj tale a- Ijout the poor down-tropden farmer, hud be happy.—Greenville Star. ; Sothe people think-that itdbesn’t rfiake any^ffekence bow- high tax­ es are so they are laid; on in - the name of “progress. In other words they scourage IhFtaxpayers because they - love them. so. The trouble ajiout this sort ..of “ pro­ gress” is that the people who > have mbney to invest are not looking for the places that have the highest tax rate, '. ' The only -fellow who can ^afford to drink bootleg \hquor is one who has seen all there is to see any how HOLE IN POCKET Tllj^e TO QUIT “BLOWING IN” /■yOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY ’ ;for bought food. ' / Ga.—(Special.)— 'There is k,‘|reat big hole In the South’s farm piiokeV that lets out our farm money, as.-fast as it comes in,” said H. G. -ilaatings, recognized farm authority, ana?President of the Georgia Associ­ ation, a state-wide development or­ ganization that has for its major ob­ ject-the betterment of farm condi­ tions, "So far as we know, no other farm section or country in the world has ever been able to stand such-an enor­ mous and steady drain of its money life-blood''for'food and grain a-s has the ( South,- without complete farm bankruptcy and collapse for the last fifty; or sixty years. ‘Our farm pockets have had just as big- holes at the bottom as they-have had at the top, so to speak. As fast as , dur money for cotton, or other cash crop, went In at ,the top of the .pocket, just so fast did it-slip through that hole at the bottom for breed and .meat and grain. ; A lot of our good folks are looking to Washington for government help, which probably won’t come. No use to look that far away. The. source of most of ,our trouble Js right at home. It’s the empty corn crib and oat bin, the empty-hog pen and smoke-house, the lack of hay and forage In barn or stack, milking tin cans of condensed milk instead of a good cow; few eggs, few,chickens, and eating New jersey, Michigan or California-grown vegeta­ bles and fruits via the tin can route instead of from the home orchard and gardens. Some food items we necessarily must:.tuy, coffee,-salt, sugar, etc., but Lherel Is absolutely no sense in the .t.i'iy V e'do 6h■this^food questlJri. It’s :so foolish and unhecessary, this “pa­ per bag farming,” as someone called it.' Some of our farm-folks are more guilty than others on this particular brand of poverty-producing foolish­ ness, but every one of us is guilty In. greater or less degree. Diversified farm operations, at least to the full extent of home needs from home acres, is the first step away from present bad farm conditions to per­ manent farm prosperity. Reverse the present way of taking the wagon or truck or automobile to town empty and bringing it back full. Town is the place for you to sell food items instead of .the place to buy iriost of them. Grain, meat, hay and forage from home acres, fTesh vegetables and fruit from your garden and orchard or In cans on closef shelves pay no long line of wholesale and retail ,profits and railroad freight ' rates.

C. Paris Dons Sport Garb at Resorts jumper Suit Still Favorite Mode; Wool Costume^ Must Be All White. There are no decided innovations among the new sport clothes shown In the latest collections, writes a Paris fashion correspondent In the New Tork Times. The jumper suit Is EtlIl the favored mode, particularly that version of It designed by Jean patou. The lower part of the blouse of this kasha suit is bordered In a se­ ries of two-inch stripes of contrasting color, a beige suit having, for example, stripes of bols de rose, faded blue and dull yellow. Over this suit is worn a top-coat of tweed or other woolen ma­ terial. For tennis Patou advocates the cos­ tume he designed for Mile. Lenglen, hos-plalted white crepe de chine skirt with a sleeveless white jumper blouse, and, for the necessary touch of bright color, an orange sweater and match­ ing bandeau for the hair. Worth, who has been very slow to adopt the jumper suit at all, prefer­ ring the sport dress made In one piece, has compomised on a suit In which the jumper is really a sleeveless jacket with tie ends at the front belt- ilne. In one suit of this type the skirt of plisse In navy serge was attached to a straight long-sleeved waist of red and beige figured foulard. Over this came the Jumper Jacket with open front, tied at the waistline with a bow lined In the red and beige foulard and a huge boutonniere of the same mate­ rial. This year the costume chosen by the Parlslenne for the winter season In -he Alps differs most obviously from that selected by her American sister in Its lack of Indian decorative Inspi­ ration. The athletic American Snow IIaiden is gay In colors and designs adapted from the garments of frontier days, hut this winter more than ever the French woman must be delicately feminine In her attire even when about to tumble head-first off a bob­ sled Into a snowbank. When she chooses a wool costume, she likes It to be all white, a fleecy jumper of brushed angora bordered possibly with a band of pale yellow. Knickers of the same material fit tightly over the calf of the leg under the heavy white wool golf hose, bordered also In yel­ low. Her enveloping scarf Is of white brushed wool, as are her heavy gloves and stocking cap, presenting a eamour flage against the snow as effective as the coat of the polar bear. For the seeker after unusual color combinations Chantal offers a strik­ ing Jumper suit with blouse of natu­ ral color kasha over a skirt of dull- green kasha, box-plaited In front and n curious puffed belt composed of two- inch-thlck rolls. Another clever design, this time In beige and brown, comes from Jane Eegny. The skirt of this suit is 'ot brown kasba and is plaited at either side, while the blouse is of beige kasha, the cleverness lying In an in­ verted V of brown that, beginning at the bottom of the blouse In front In line with the side plaits of the skirt, continues up the front of the jumper. Shorter Coats Now Bid for Milady's Attention Inoculation of , Legumes Helps Increases Palatability and the Percentage of Pro­ tein in Plants. Smart Jersey Frocfc of Contrasting Materials Much Interest is shown In shorter coats for spring. Youthful, and bear­ ing the cachet of advance style, are models of velvet or velveteen, either hip-length or below, these purposed for late winter .wear with plaided and plaited skirts. From Paris comes this handsome model In the picture. The creator of this stunning mldseason wrap trims bright blue velvet with chinchilla, disposing the fur In a very original bordering which suggests.the now-so-styllsh tuxedo revere at the front. Attractive Fringes Are Smart to Trim Apparel There is no smarter trimming for winter than fringe, which appears at all times of the day and In a wide di- vertisement of form. There are HUane fringes, attractive In black, white and gray on a white frock; there are cord fringes In brilliant hues whleh range from red to rose and from violet to mauve; there are rubber fringes, un­ usual, although they have already at­ tained a limited popularity In Paris. And fn response to the glittering de­ mands of the mode du soir there are crystal bead fringes held In place by rows of strass which elevate them sUghtly. The present fad for chains' has ex­ tended even to fringes, a very origi­ nal gown of lustrous black velvet with Inserts of gold lame having a fringe of.gold chains hung across the bateau neckline, extending down over the slightly bloused bodice to he confined under the draped belt of gold lame, whence it escapes to form a jingling overskirt. Crocheted borders of silk threads are struggling to usurp the .place of short-haired, light-colored furs as trimmings on sport coats and gowns destined for the Riviera. When properly done, inoculation of legumes Is highly profitable In about 95 out Cf 100 cases, it Is reported by W. R. Carrbll, assistant In soll blology at the college of agriculture, Univer­ sity of Illinois. This practice of in­ oculating''either the seed or the soil with proper root nodule bacteria at the time of planting may markedly Improve the quality of leguminous crops largely by increasing both the palatability and the percentage of protein in the plants,, he said.'. Increased Protein. Content. “In 25 of 29 comparisons with can­ ning peas, Inoculation brought as high as 10 per cent increase in the protein content On a highly fertile acid soil, inoculation produced an increase of 1,339 pounds of shelled peas .an acre, or a return, at three cents a pound, of $40 an acre. Inoculation Increased the yield of vines 7,857 pounds an acre. “The protein content of the vines also was increased 35 per cent. This extra amount of nitrogenous material made them much more valuable for either hay or manure. Similar com­ parisons with inoculated and uninocu­ lated soybeans showed increases of 240 to 1,108 pounds dry weight an acre and increases of 7 to 16 per cent in protein content In favor of the in­ oculated beans. Favors AU Legumes. "inoculation has shown marked favorable influences on practically every species of cultivated legumes. Tests with the alfaifas, the clovers, and the vetches have all shown enough Improvement in quality of the crop to' warrant the conscientious practice of legume inoculation. “The effectiveness of inoculation, however, depends somewhat upon: (I) the amount of available nitrogen In -file soil, (2) the reaction of the soil, (3) the number of nodule bac­ teria already present In the soil, and (4) the number of viable nodule bac­ teria added with the seed.” Wheat Scab Causes Big Loss to American Farmer Wheat scab claims more than five million bushels of wheat a year in the United States. It is a fungus that at­ tacks the wheat heads about the time they bloom. For a long time the disease was a mystery. No one knew where it came from or how it started- Farm­ ers . and plant pathologists who watched the.disease noticed that the attack was most severe on wheat that followed com. Experiments that fol­ lowed these observations showed that Uie fungus grew on both corn mid wheat On corn it causes root, stalk, and ear rot; on wheat it causes the scab. It has been found that the fungus lives through the winter on old corn­ stalks. These overwintering spores attack the wheat It is a robber that lives In Jhe cornfield but steals wheat.

Belts Are New Having been neglected for so long, I belts, girdles and sashes have ken on a new significance and are atured on all frocks. Astrakhan One Smart Novelty of the Season The most successful- color combina­ tion among these neW coats is that of any of the wine shades in velvet or kasha used with gray astrakhan, . No matter how the fur may be ap- pUed this combination always re­ sults In an effective garment, Astra­ khan Is one of the smartest novelties of the new season, anyway—so smart, In fact, that even an imitation of It looks well, as Jenny has been at some pains to prove. She has used an imitation black astrakhan as patcB- Work binding on a straight coat of cobalt blue' velvet, the astrakhan binding extending nearly five inches into the body of the coat In claw points; This border binds the fronts of the coat, the hem and even out­ lines the collar. The lining is also of the Imitation black astrakhan, black, linings being Uie last word In the ultra-smart . Flat flounces form chic trimming on these new coats, without destroying their slender lines. When Redfem uses them he flares the coat Velveteen Is Steadily Gaining in Prestige Velveteen'has been steadily gaining In prestige. Rs vogue began last summer when at the French resorts many of the smartest women wore little Jackets of bright-colored velvet­ een over sheer silk frocks. - This season one finds velveteen at the head of the list of Important and smart fabrics. R is employed by the best known houses for coats of a distinctly formal aspect, aqd is par­ ticularly attractive In deep tones of red and green thRt are so much. In evidence in the new fashions. Simple rather tailored frocks for street wear are In many cases de­ veloped In velveteen, and in a recent showing of clothes for school and col-. lege girls’ frocks of this type were conspicuously displayed. The jumper frock with a narrow belt,and collar and cuffs of silk gains new. Interest If It Is In one of the new end flat terlng colors. InoculateAlfalfaSeed With Soil or Culture Alfalfa seed can be inoculated with the proper kind of soil or with com­ mercial culture, with but Uttle differ­ ence In results when the soil contains an abundance of the proper bacteria and the commercial culture is good and fresh. Perhaps, when the culture is fresh, a good inoculation of the seed-is more UkeIy to occur, than with the soil as usually used. The soil can be made into a creamy consistency and added to the seed while stirring weU for aU seed to get some of it. Scattering inoculated soil over the field wUl usually secure good results, but as a rule inoculating thi seed gives as good inoculation and is much easier done. SalisFjnefor Aching Kidneys When Back Hurts Flush Your Kidneys as You Clean Your Rowels Uost folks forget that the kidneys, .like the bowels, sometimes get slug­ gish and clogged and need a flushing oceasJonaUy, else we have backache and duU misery In the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid Uver, acid stomach,, sleepless­ ness and all sorts of bladder disorders.

Virtues of Water The gypsy beUeves firmly in the curative qualities of water. When a child is bom it Is immediately im­ mersed ip running water and it is given water to drink before it is put in its mother’s care, if a gypsy be­ comes Al, he is given water—cold water, hot water, water all the time, water to cure the headache, water to cure rheumatism and all old-age com­ plaints. Water is used also to cure the iUs of horses, cattle- and sheep. Even their Incantations for happiness, their love potions and hate potions are all water. Water is their religion, their witchcraft The gypsies move1 from place to place seeking better and better water. They use no drugs; not even herbs, dried or boiled. Next to water, their other remedy Is fat— lard, grease or butter. They apply that to wounds after washing them. —Hygela Magazine. DATE PUDDING cup sugar, I level tsp. Calumetegg.

His wealthy sis- ter Bartaaral w h o has helped him to succeed, has just been mar­ ried and is' going to J?pan, leav­ ing Laurie on his own. BpBtoin M d Bangs, his theatrical part­ ners, have promised Barbara to keep an eye on Laurie. They soold him for his lasiness of late, and he retorts that he seeks ad­ venture. Pro m his window In K S w Tork he sees the reflection of a beautiful girl in a mirror In the house opposite. F r o m the elevator boy In the glrVs house LatfHe learns the girl's name is Mayo. Again In the mirror's re­ flection he sees her with a re­ volver* and fears she means to commit suicide. H e rushes into her apartment, and, winning her Confidence,- induces her to lunch vrtth him, though she warns him of danger. At lunch she ; admits there is a mystery in her life. She says also thol her funds are almost exhausted, but refuses flatly Laurie's offer of financial help. As a stranger enters the restaurant, the girl mutters "He has found me." Upon learning that the m a n has no claim on her* Laurie warns the stranger not to molest the girl, whose name, Laurie learns, is Doris. To !Louise Ordway, his invalid sister-in-law, Laurie ad­ mits his Interest in Doris. CHAPTER VI—Continued 9 “Bob didn’t know," she said. “M he bad felt the least suspicion he Wotddnt have gone so far, or for so long. I thought I had three or fonr months—” Lanrle bent and kissed her cheek. T m coming In every day,” he said, and abruptly left the room. In the lower hall he stopped to take In the full real realization of what he had discovered. Louise, superb, ar­ rogant, beautiful Louise, was really HI, desperately 111. A feeling of re­ morse mingled with his sense of shock. He had believed her a sort of nervous hypochondriac. He had so resented her excessive demands on Barbara' that It was only since he had seen much of her In. this last month that he had been able whole­ heartedly to like and admire her. . As he stood silent, he hecome con­ scious of another presence—an au­ gust, impressive one, familiar In the past but veiled now, as it were, In a midst of human emotion. It was Jep- son, the butler. He coughed humbly. “Hexcuse me, sir,” he faltered. "But Mrs. Hordway h’ain’t quite so well lately, sir. ’Ave you hobserved thatr Laurie nodded. "I noticed It today,” he admitted. “She’s losln’ strength very fast, sir. Hall of us ’as seen It Cook says she don’t eat nothing. And Susanne and the nurse says It’s ’ard work to get 'er from- the bed to ’er chair—” Laurie checked these revelations. “Has the doctor been here today?” “Yesslr, two of ’em ’ave been ’ere. Doctor Speyef comes hevery day. This morning *e brought Doctor Bames again. Hit’s very hupsetting, Sir, with ’er brother away and hall.” The man WUs genuinely anxious. Laurie tried to reassure him. “She may be better -In a day or two,” he said, more buoyantly than he felt.- “But I’ll come In every day. And here’s my telephone number. If anything goes wrong, call me up Im­ mediately. Leave a message If Tm not there.” “Tesslr. Thank you, sir.” Jepson was pathetically grateful and relieved He had the English servant's charac­ teristic need of sanction and author­ ity. When Laurie reached his rooms, he called Sonya on the telephone. Like Jepson1 he was feeling rather over­ whelmed by his responsibilities. It Was a relief to hear Sonya’s deep, colorful voice. •THdh’t know you were here tin just now,” he told her. T m coming to see you In the morning. I want to talk to you about a lot of things." “Including Mrs. Ordway?". suggest­ ed Sonya. “Yes. You saw her today. You no­ ticed—" “Of course. Samuel Is to be op­ erated on tomorrow, n i send hfm back to Devon House with his mother In a few days, as soon as, he can safe­ ly truvel, and I shall stay right here.” “That’s .splendid of you I” “It’s what Barbara and Mr.. Warren would wish. And Mrs. Ordway, too, I think, though she would never sug­ gest it ” T m sure It Is.” • Laurie hung up the receiver with a nervous hand. To a youth of twen­ ty-four It is a somewhat overpower­ ing experience to discover that destiny is especially busy over the affairs of two women for whom he has assumed a definite responsibility. As he turned.from the Instrument Its bell again compelled his attention. He took up the receiver, and the voice of a girl came to his ear. A week or two ago he had rather liked that voice and its owner, a gay, Irresponsible, good-hearted little creature who pranced In the front row of an up­ town pony ballet How he listened to It with keen distaste. “Hello, Laurie,” It twittered. 4Ts that you?

A rather unusual degree of firmness was necessary, for Miss Billie was not used to having her Invitations refused. She accepted the phenomenon with acute unwillingness and very llnger- ingly. Bangs was not at home, to divert his chum’s mind with his robust con­ versation. As he dressed for his call on Doris, the sharp contrasts of IMe struck Laurie with the peculiar force with which they hit the young and the Inexperienced. But were they really contrasts? On the one side were Louise, dying, and Doris, seemingly eager to die. On the other were Blllle and her friends— foolish little butterflies, enjoying their brief hour In the secret garden of life, At Eight o’clock Laurie Found Dorle Sitting Under the 8 hade of a Read­ ing Lamp In Her Studio. eternally chattering about, “good times,” playing they were happy, per­ haps even thinking they were happy, but infinitely more tragic figures than Louise and Doris. Yet a week ago he had thought they amused him I Pondering on these and other large problems, he absently removed the bloom from three fresh white ties. CHAPTER VII Griggs Gets an Order. At eight o'clock Laurie found Doris sitting under the shade of a reading- lamp In her studio, deep In the pages of a sophisticated French novel and radiating an almost oppressive atmos­ phere of well-being. Subconsciously, he resented this. His mood was keyed to tragedy. But he returned her half-serious, half- mocking smile with one as enigmatic, shook bands with grave formality, and surveyed with mild Interest a modest heap of bank-notes of small denominations that lay on the table, catching the room’s high lights. . Fol­ lowing his glance, Deris nodded com­ placently. “I left them there for yon to see,” she remarked. “Did the kind gentleman under the three balls give you all that?” “He did. Count it" Laurie frowned. “Don’t be so arrogant about your wealth. It’s fleeting. Any copy-book will tell you so.” She opened a small drawer In the table, swept the bills Into It and casually closed It ' Laurie stared. “Are you going to leave It there? Just like thatr She looked patient “Why not?” “I begin to understand why you are sometimes financially cramped.” He took the bills, smoothed them out flat, rolled back the rug to the edge, of the table, laid the money un­ der It end carefully replaced the rug “That’s the place to put It” he ob­ served, with satisfaction, “No one connected with a studio ever lifts a rug. Bangs and I used to throw our money under the furniture, and pick It up as we needed It; but others sometimes reached It first This way Is better. How lovely you look!” he added. As he spoke he comfortably seated himself on the other side of the reading-lamp, and moved the lamp to a point where It would not ob­ struct his view of her. She did look lovely. She had put on an evening gown, very simply made, but rich In the Oriental color­ ing she loved. She was like Louise In that Laurie's thoughts swung to the tatter’s sick-room, and his brilliant young face grew somber. The girl lounging In the big chair observed the sudden change In his expression. She pushed a box of cigarettes toward him. “Smoke If you like,” she said, In­ differently. “All my friends do.” He caught the phrase. Then she had friends! ; “Including Herbert Bansome Shaw ?” he asked, as he lit a match. “Don’t Include him among my friends I But—he was here this aft­ ernoon.” “He was I” In his rising Interest Laurie nearly let the match go out "What did he want?” “To warn me to have nothing to do with you.” “I like his Infernal cheek I” Laurie Ut the cigarette and puffed at It savagely. Then, rising he drew his chair forward and sat down fac­ ing her. “See here,” he said quietly, “you’d better tell me the whole story. I can't help you much If Tm kept In the dark. But if you’ll let me Into things —And before I forget It,” he Inter­ rupted himself to Interject, “I want to bring a friend of mine to call on you. She will be a tower of strength. She’s a Hussion, and one of the best women I know.” Sbe listened with a slight smile. "What’s her name?” 44Mlss Orleneff, Sonya Orleneff, a great pal of my sister’s and an all­ round good sort I*d like to bring her In tomorrow afternoon. Will five be convenient?" "No.” She spoke now with the curt­ ness of the morning. 44In no circum­ stances,” she added, decisively. 44B u t-why?” (He was dazed. If ever a knight errant worked under greater difficul­ ties than these, Laurie-told himself, he’d like to know the poor chap’s name. 4T have no wish to meet Mlss Or­ leneff.” 44But she’s an Ideal person for you to know, experienced, sympathetic, and understanding. She did a lot for my sister last year. I must tell you all about, that sometime. She could do more for you—” "Mr. Devon I” The finality of her tone brought him up short “We must understand each other.” “I should like nothing better.” He, too, was suddenly formal. 4ThIs morning you projected your­ self Into my life.” 44Llterally," he cordially agreed. 44I am grateful to you for what you did and what you wish to do. Bnt I will not meet any more strangers. I will not m eet'MIbs Orleneff, or any one else. Is that dear?” 44Oh1 perfectly I’.’ Laurie sighed. 44Of course you’re a crowned head,” he mused -aloud. “I had forgotten. Would you like my head dh a .charger, or anything like that?” She studied him thoughtfully. “Almost from the first," she said, “and except for an occasional minute or two, you have refused to be seri­ ous. That Interests me. Why Is It? Aren’t you willing to realise that there are real troubles In the world, terrible troubles, that the bravest go down under?” “Of course.” He was serious now. He had begun to realise that fully. “It’s my unfortunate manner, I sup­ pose," he defended himself.

Her wedding veil, for Instance, Is a relic of the canopy that used to be held over the. bride to seclude her from profane gaze. The ancient Bomans attached great Importance to the custom of veiling the bride. Its primary object was to protect her against the evil eye, a superstition cur­ rent among many tribes and nations. With some people the veiling was re­ quired because the bride’s own glance was considered to be dangerous. Mis­ fortune would surely befall any per­ son or animal the bride looked at be­ fore she had seen her husband on her arrival at his house. From the early Romans is handed down the custom, not lnfrequenriy ob­ served by an American bride of to­ day,' of being married In a previously nrnrn tnsrrlan velL Great luck Is SUP- jf the /former wearer had'-been happy In the married state.—Eileen Bourne, In Liberty Magazine. Troth Man’s Idea of pledging himself to marriage, according to some sources, comes down to us from the Roman ages. “Treouth,” which was what the Romans called the pledging of oneself, Is still ours In the shape of the Eng­ lish’word “troth.”,, In the Roman era great ceremony was attached to the act, but these traditional rites have been simplified gradually until today about the only thing remaining Is the giving of the ring, this having persisted through the centuries. As originally practiced, the ritual lnduded troth rings for both maid and man and. this double ring custonl' Is still preserved by some Eu­ ropean peoples.

It’s hard to form the hab­ it, all of a sudden.” “You will have to take me seri­ ously.” Ho made a large gesture of accept­ ance. “All right,” he promised. 44That brings us back to where we were. Tell me the truth. If there’s any­ thing In It that really menaces you, you’ll find me serious enough.” Before answering, she rose and opened the studio door, on which, be observed with approval, a strong new lock and an Inside bolt had already been placed. He saw her peer up and down the hall. Then Bhe closed and bolted the door, and returned to her chair. The precaution brought before him a mental vision of Herbert Ban- some Shaw prowling about the dim corridor. He spoke Incredulously. “Are you really afraid of that chap?" “I have good reason to be,” she said quietly. She sat down In her chair again, rested her elbows on the table and her chin In her hands, in the pose already so familiar to him, and added quietly, “He Is the source of all my present trouble.” She stopped and turned her head to ' listen. “Do you hear anything moving In the hall?” she asked, almost In a whip* per. “No. Shall I Iookr She shook her head. "Don’t unbolt the door.” “You’re nervous. Tm sure there’s nothing there. Please go on,” he urged. “Our little friend Bertie—” Seeing her expression, he stopped short "Forgive me,” he said, hum­ bly. “But the plain truth Is, It’s aw­ fully hard for me to take that fellow seriously. Oh, I know he’s venomous,” he conceded, “but I can’t help feeling that' he hasn’t as much power over you as you think he has.” He realized that she was listening, but not to him. “There Is some one outside that door I” she whispered. Laurie leaped to the door a3 noise­ lessly as a cat, unbolted It, and flung- it open. The hall was empty, He bad an Instantaneous Impression that something as silent as a moving shad­ ow had vanished around the staircase at the far end, but when he reached the spot he saw nothing save the de­ scending Iron spirals of successive stairways. He returned to his com­ panion, smiling reassuringly. 4Tfs our nerves,” he said. 4Tn a few minutes more I shall be worry­ ing about Bertie, myself.” 4Bolt the door again,” she directed. He obeyed. She went on as If there bad been no interruption to their talk. "It Isn’t what he Is,” she admitted. “He himself Is nothing, as you say. It’s what is back of him that—that frightens met Why don’t you smoke?” . she Interrupted herself to ask. Laurie automatically selected and, lit another cigarette. “I know what’s going to be back of Bertie pretty soon,” he darkly pre­ dicted. 44Whoever he Is, and whatever he Is doing, he has a big jolt coming to him, and It’s coming fast” He laid down the cigarette and turned to her with his most charming expression, a wonderfully sweet smile, half shy, wholly boyish. Before this look, any one who loved Laurence Devon was helpless. “Come,” he said gently, "tell me the whole story. You know Ifs not curiosity that makes me ask. But how can I help you when I’m working In the dark?” As she hesitated, his brilliant eyes, so softened now, continued to hold hers. \ 44And I want to help you,” he added. 4T want that privilege more than I want anything else In the world.” For a long moment she sat still, as If considering his words, her eyes on her hands, folded In her lap. The strange, deep flush he had noticed once before again stained her face. At last she straightened up with a quick movement, throwing back her shoalders as If to take on again some burden they had almost cast off. T am sorry to seem so mysteri­ ous,” she said, “and so unresponsive. I will tell you this much, and It Is more than I ought to say. Bi the situation we are In I am In his power, horribly so. He can crush me at any time he chooses.” “Then why doesn’t he?” The gentleness of her caller’s voice softened the brusqueness of his words. “Because—” She stopped again. For the first time she had become embarrassed and self-conscious. She made her climax In a rush: “Lately he Insists that he has fallen In love with me I” Laurie uttered an ejaculation.. It was not a pretty one, ,but it nicely ,fitted the emergency. 44He has hoped that to save myself, and others, I will marry him, the con­ temptible, crawling snake I” The listener was Impressed by her comparison. Certainly there was something ophidian about Shaw. He Mwiaoif had noticed IL “Then, for the time being, you’rq really safe?” he suggested. 4TIo. His patience is exhausted: He is beginning to realize that T i rather die.” L aurie gets th e . Idea th a t th e police ought to be notified, h ut D oris w arns him th a t would spoil everything.

As he prepares bis seed-bed for planting, the wise home gardener bears in mind that nothing is more important in making every foot of the garuen yield its best fiau tbe JudMous use of manure and fertilizer, classed as “cool” manures, and al­ though the plant food is not as readily available as in horse manure, it will give very good results. Poultry and sheep manure are dubbed “hot” ’ma­ nures, and should 'be applied very cautiously, especially on the root or fruit crops. When fresh manure is used, it should be flowed under to a depth of six-to eight inches and entirely cov­ ered with earth. On the other hand, if the manure is well-rotted, only half of it should be plowed under, and the other half broadcast and raked into the surface. Commercial Fertilizers. If you want the best all-around fer­ tilizer, get what is generally known a's either the 4-8-4 or the 3-8-3. The term “4-8-4” simply means that the fertilizer contains 4 per cent ammonia, 8 per cent of phosphoric acid and 4 per cent of potash. In all fertil­ izers, nitrogen is the first, phosphoric acid the second and potash the third number. One pound to every 25 square feet of garden surface is the average ap­ plication OS commercial fertilizer. Half of this should be broadcast and raked into the surface .ground and the other half applied under the row, or hill, as the case may be. Either nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia is used to give a larger leaf growth on those vegetables which pro­ duce edible leaves, such as lettuce, en­ dive and parsley; Small applications of about one teaspoonful scattered around each plant of tomatoes, cab­ bage, eggplants, etc., or side-dressed celery, will give a better growth In stalk and better colored leaves. Where Lime Comes In. Lime should never be used In di­ rect contact with the manure, because it has a tendency to liberate the nitro­ gen faster than plants can use it. Practically all garden soils need lime, however, and would be benefited by about ten pounds for each 100 square feet Any finely pulverized lime is satisfactory for this. The right time to apply it is after the manure has been plowed under. Broadcast and rake it into the surface soil. Rats Carried From Town in Different Shipments Many of the rats prevalent in agri­ cultural and poultry-raising sections are carried from towns to farms in shipments of dairy and poultry feed, the biological"! survey of the United States Department of Agriculture has learned from, surveys in these regions. This emphasizes the nation-wide need for concerted effort between the rural and urban people, as a basis for the efficient control of rats.

Green Feeds Essential for Health of Poultry During the last cold spells of the season many cases of leg weakness In hens that have been laying heavily are reported. These are usually traceable to the fact that the owner has run out of green food. Such foods contain what is technically known as vitamines. When they are exhausted from the bird’s body she begins to suffer. If green feed is given the bird will soon recover. Cab­ bage, sprouted grains or even steamed alfalfa leaves are beneficial.—0. C.

Keeping Silage Prpin Freezing Is Easy First Thing to Do Ia to Keep Silo Tight. Many farmers who have trouble with silage freezing blame the trouble on the type of silo, but careful observers believe that there is no noticeable dif­ ference among silos as to freezing and that the trouble is due largely to the way the silo and silage are managed. How can freezing be prevented? First of all, the silo must be kept tight, so that the air above the silage will act as a sort of insulation. The silo roof must be tight, the windows kept closed, the silo doors put back In place as the silage is fed down, only one or two doors being left open at the top of the silage, and these open­ ings must be kept closed with heavy blankets' or rugs or sacks of straw which can be pulled into place when leaving the silo. A cover over the bot­ tom of the chute wHl also help. Then the silage must be handled properly. It should be kept higher In the center and should be broken loose from the wall down two or - three inches at the close^of each feeding period. Two or three heavy rugs or blankets spread over the silage, espe­ cially around the walls, will help a great deal in preventing freezing from one period to the next. Any small amount of frozen silage pulled loose from the wall should be put at the center of the sjlo and covered with a rag or carpet or tarpaulin,' and the natural heat from the silage will usu­ ally thaw it out before the next feed­ ing period. It should be remembered that the large body of silage has quite a lot of heat and that freezing from th'e walls is not very deep or very se­ vere so long as this heat is kept from escaping upward. Artificial Light and Heat Good for Fowls Artificial heat is the latest modern addition to poultry management that may prove successful. Authorities say practical poultrymen have kept up egg production during cold snaps.by tak­ ing the chill off the air and preventing the drinking water from freezing. Without lights the hens can only put in about half the time they have In the summer to consume feed. Ar­ tificial lighting methods have broken the long periods of idleness from darkness to daylight. Given more working hours, the hen has responded with a larger egg production for the year. Tbe increase is obtained during the winter season when eggs are least plentiful. .' An all-nfash method of feeding poul­ try has been reported favorably. The dry feeds are all crushed or ground and mixed in proper proportions and fed in a hopper to which the hens have access. Well Grown Pullets Are Best for Eggs in Winter Winter egg production is largely obtained from the pullets that are well grown, properly fed and carrying a surplus of flesh. Old hens that have produced .eggs for one laying year normally rest during the winter and start laying In February and March, advises D. C. Henderson, extension poultry specialist at South Dakota state college. Mr. Henderson advises keeping a flock consisting ’of two-thirds pullets and one-third hens. The pullets should be forced for winter egg production through liberal mash feeding. The old hens should be allowed to rest during the winter an<! kept for the produc­ tion of. hatching eggs next spring. Dormant Spray for Cherries Sour cherries will not often require a dormant spray, but if needed the spray recommended for peaches may be used. The sprays are applied as follows, using lime-sulphur 1% to 50 or bordeaux 3-4-50 plus one pound of arsenate of lead : Make the first spray just before the cherry trees bloom, the second when the shucks are drop- ing from the young fniit, and a third spray following the second in about two weeks. To control, cherry leaf spot, about two additional- sprays should be applied after harvest The interval between them should be abont three weeks. . New Japanese Pest Indications of an entirely new American pest In New Xork and New Jersey have been received by the United States Cepartment of Agricul­ ture; The species is a scarab or beetle of Japanese origin, and Is the third scarab that has been intro­ duced from Japan. It is suggested that ,entomologists be on the lookout for It Unlike the other two species which have been introduced, it Is not of striking appearance. It is a small, bijown scarab which superficially re­ sembles a number of the species of the genus Serica. Select Vigorous Males In selecting males to be retained as breeders, vigor should be one oi the primary considerations. The'vigor of ,the male, as well as the female, will be reflected! in the; hatchablllty of: the eggs and the livahllity of the chicks. Although early maturity should be sought for In the heavier breeds, it should not .be emphasized to the detriment of. size. Males which mature exceptionally early, may b( undersized individuals and not de sirable for breeding. “See What I Did for 30 cts!”' Ton needn’t be rich to always wear the latest colors.

It Is the foundation stone upon which all other Institutions are built In the measare that the home Is kept pure and strong will the church, so­ ciety and the nation be pure and strong.. II. The Makers of the Home. The foundation upon which Oie home is built is marriage, and the makers of the home are the man and the woman united In holy wedlock. III. The Obliaations of the Members of the Home. 1. The husband (Eph. 5:25-32). (1) The husband is to love hla wife (v. 25). Observe— a. The measure of this love is the love of Christ for His church. Christ loved the church so that He gave Himself for it. His was a self-empty­ ing love. The obligation enjoined then on the husband is to manifest that self-emptying love toward his wife. b. The purpose- of this love (vv. 26, 27). The purpose of the husband’s self­ emptying love is the perfection of his wife's character. c. The 'ground of this love . (w . 28-30). After all, the ground of the hus­ band’s love for his wife is his own self. He that loveth his wife Ioveth himself. (2) The husband is to be joined unto his wife (v. 31). When the time comes for a man to establish a home, he leaves his father and mother and Is joined to' his wife. This results In the creation of the new unity of society. 2. The wife (Eph. 5:22-24). She is to be subject to her own hus­ band. This is not an arbitrary mat­ ter, but .it is according to the divine arrangement..It is t<> be “as unto the Lord.” It is important to inquire as to what kind of subjection is enjoined. In order to understand this, we must grasp the figure which'the apostle in­ troduces of Christ and the church. Christ’s lovtng the church is without ulterior motive, as true love “seeketh not its own.” Since Christ gave Him­ self for the church, He thus lifted the church into union ,with Himself and became to It Lord in the power of His love. The church responds to this love by lovingly recognizing the Lord­ ship of Christ. Just as the church graciously comes under the guidance and direction of Jesus Christ does the wife respond to the love of her hus­ band. Headship of the man is the divine order. Headship never sug­ gests “boss-shlp” nor governorship. Observe with reference to this sub­ jection— "(a) The motive (v. 22).. “As unto the Lord.” (bj The ground (v. 23). “The hus­ band is the head of the wife.’’ (c) The extent of (v. 24). “In everything.” 3. The children (6:1-3). The divine purpose In the-union of the male and the female In the bonds of holy wedlock is the propagation of the race. When God pronounced His benediction upon the first pair He said, “Be fruitful and multiply.” (1) Obedience to parents (v.v I). The ground of this obedience is the faet that the parents stand in the place of God to the child. (2) Honor the parents (v. 2). Obedience to parents Is limited to the period of immaturity. When the children take their place In the estab­ lishment of new units In society they are no longer under, obligation to obey their parents. Two gracious promises are attached to this commandment that it may be well with thee and that thou mayest. live long on the •earth. 4. The parents (v. 4). - * . Doubtless the ■ word “fathersr was intended to be inclusive of the “moth­ ers.” (1) Provoke not your children to wrath. • This doubtless means' that in the ex­ ercise of parental ,authority there should be avoidance of irritation. • (2) To bring them np in the nur­ ture and admonition -of the Lord. Nurture doubtless means to educate and admonition means discipline.

When Souls Are Saved There never was a spirlt-iilled church but that there were souls saved for. the kingdom.—J. E. Suter.

J. Barton of • Kahsas City, superintendent of Baptist work In Missouri for the past thrde years, and one of the most prominent men In' the denomination, has accepted, the position of general director of S e Baptist Co-operative Program, and will move to Nashville, Tenn., to assume his new duties at once. Southern Baptists are seeking to raise *9,000,000 for the . Cooperative Program during this convention year and Dr. BartoS will seek to enlist the aid of every agency and church of the Southern BapUst Convention In the accomplishment of this. task. Has Served ^Denomination To his new position- Dr. Barton brings a wide denominational and public, experience. He has held promi­ nent pastorates In the South and has Berved as associate secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, field secre­ tary of the Home Mission Board, general- secretary of the Arkansas State Mission Board, and secretary of the To-,-— Bapttst Education Com­ mission prior to taking up his work in Missouri. He has also long been prominent In the cause of temper­ ance. For sixteen years he has been r Child9S HeaSiim Maintained By WholesomJeDiet Modem educators are leaning more each year to the old Greek Idea of rearing^ the citizens of ;the future. Tfiey are working on the !principle of “a sound mind In a sound ,body.” Good health Is built primarily on the foundation of right food, p ie sort of food the child has determines to a large extent, the fitpess of the^ man or woman. < Children have to be tatight to like the foods that are good for them much In the same way that .they have to be taught arithmetic and history. Boys and girls axe not bom with any par­ ticular desire for cereals or for bread;. It’s up to their parents ,to see that they Ieam the rudijnents of a bal­ anced diet and the reason for such a diet Firmness and patience are often necessary InHhe teaching, but the Job must be done. Many mothers unconsciously put their children under health handicaps by allowing them to use; their own discretion in the mattef of eating candy, fruit, nuts and coojkies.

Johnson doing they set a precedent In the matter of other foods and make the teaching of good nutrltloh harder. One or two articles ard not enough •to supply a child’s needsi for a meal. In order that there be nbrroal devel­ opment, there must be variety. Fresh eggs, whole cereals, fruits In season and leafy vegetables should occupy an important part [In the grow­ ing child’s dietary. Then, too, a cer­ tain amount of concentrated food is necessary for children, because rapid growth whets their appetites to, a razor edge, so that they; crave more food than their systems-can well dis­ pose of. Evaporated milk, diluted with orange juice as a !drink, or In custards or other baked foods, is es­ pecially beneficial for ihe growing child for the reason that ‘It Is concen­ trated to double the richness of or­ dinary cow’s milk andj is entirely sterile as well. The can qf evaporated milk' solves the. problem [of obtaining perfectly pure milk, w waU **— DR. A. J. BARTON New General Director Baptist Co-op­ erative Program h member of the executive and legis­ lative committees of the Xnti-saloon League of America, and during his incumbency as superintendent of the Anti-saloon League of Texas he saw prohibition written into the' constitu­ tion of that state. Bringing the Baptist churches of the South Xa a higher standard In giving to He missionary, educational and benevolent program of the de­ nomination, known fis the Co-opera­ tive Program, will be the first and chief task to which the new general director will address himself. According to a recent survey of the record of the-Baptist churches of the South;: compiled from the letters of the Individual churches to their dis­ trict -associations for 1925, made by Drv E. P. Alldredge; statistical secre­ tary of Southern BaptlstB, 5,927 churches listed, aB co-operating with the . Southern Baptist Convention, gave nothing to missions'and benevo­ lences last year. Other -Interesting Information gleaned from this survey reveals., that 12,319 other churches, or. slightly more-than one-half of the total ’ number of churches, retained from 76 to 99 cents out of every dol­ lar coming into their treasuries foi purely local work; 1,665 churches ap­ plied Jrom 67 to 76 cents, and -1,565 churches from 61 to 66 cents out . of every, dollar contributed to their own -local work; whereas, only BOlI churces In all the South gave 50 cents or ihore out of- every dollar coming into their treasuries to - missions and benevo­ lences beyond the! borders of . their own communities. The Southern Baptist Convention has established an ideal of a fifty- fifty distribution In that it is recom­ mending to the churches that they endeavor to give half of all the money raised by them to the general work of the denomination, retaining the other half for their own local expenses. Inciuded In fhe plans of the Co-op­ erative Program is an every-member. canvass this fall In every Baptist church with a view to enlisting every member In making a subscrip­ tion to missions and benevolences. . ,Another effort Is that of enlisting at&l&st 500,000 Gouthern Bapttit s -as tlthers, or giving one-tenth of their Incomes to religious work through .their churches. In this conneotlon the.number of tithers which, each etate in the Southern Baptist7' Con­ vention . will undertake to enlist^ is given as follows: Alabama, 37,850; Arkansas. 21:250; District of Column bia, 2,000; Florida, 13,650; Geo/gla, - 55.950; Illinois, 8.700;'Kentucky, 42,- 950; Louisiana, 16,800; Maryland, I Sr 460; Mississippi, 30,000; Missouri. 31,- 400; New Mexico, 1,500; North Caro­ lina, 50.000; Oklahoma, 17,000;: South Carolina. 29,500; Tennessee, 87,600; .

Statistics sh o w that of 4,522 ba­ bies under one year of age!that died in 12 months, „4)88 died In the first 24 hours. : Eight hundred a n d seventy-six died in ..the first six days, exclu­ sive of the first 24- hours, and 1,798 died from the seventh'day to the sixth month.'Eight hundred and-sixty died In the last six months of the year. The survey indi­ cated that a surprisingly large num- „ber of. infants are artifieally fed, which condition, doctors agree, had a marked bearing on their, undernour­ ished conditions, Naturally; no one food may prove satisfactory In every case, although the survey showed that evaporated milk In many cases had proved an excellent substitute for mother’s' milk. This may be explained by reason of the fact that evaporated milk is simply pure, concentrated cow’s milk from which 60 per cent of the water has been'removed. It contains practically every clement necessary for gjood health and-is consequently an excellent builder of bone and tis­ sue. Although authorities on health rec­ ommend evaporated milk as a baby food, like other substitutes for thu natural supply, it should not be !con­ sidered as a food! complete in itselt Addition of orange or tomato juice, barley water or lime water is Impo^ tant in providing adequate diet for the infant. For babies, milk: of dependable pur­ ity is essential. Market milk will not keep for any length of time and is also liable to contamination, especially in hot weather, while ’ evaporated, milk, hermetically sealed In sterilized con­ tainers, remains as fresh and pure as on the day it was.: canned. . ,J.___ “ Mr. Bonemeal,” asked the pro­ fessor in the freshman class, ‘-whet three words are [ usfed, most amorg college students?” ' “I don’t know,” said the studt ent. “Correct”' replied the profes- ’ “A drive a day kel^s the-dctor away,” reads the window card: ad­ vertisement of a down, town auto- bile dealeT.

Editor Record—In ig2 1 the citi­ zens of Mocksville organized The Mocksville Building & Loan As­ sociation, I among others put in a good deal of work in getting up the stock, and was one of the Charter members; I asked for no office at the hands of the Associa­ tion. although many favored me for its Secretary and Treasurer; my brother B O. Morris was elected, and I think he has made an effi­ cient secretary. Mr. E. L. Gaith­ er was elected its first Attorney, and held the position until January 1923 when he declined to longer serve, and I was elected his succes­ sor. I have held the position until the last meeting— never asked for the place, and was surprised to find out after the meeting of the board of Directors tnat prior to the meet-, ing of the stockholders, one of the officious directors had gone around among-the members and made an attack on me professionally, just because he could not control and dictate to me what kind of opinion I should render as the attorney of the Association on a certain loan which I regarded as unsafe. I un derstand he told certain members that Ed Morris had to be kicked out; I don’t pretend to be perfect, and I make no pretentions of know­ ing all the law, but the Supreme Court of North Carolina has j-end: ered an opinion which sustains my position, regardless of the great legal knowledge of; this particular director. ‘ I have been a resident ot Mocksville nearly thirty years. I have contributed my mite towards the upbuilding of the county and town and I have influenced every man I could to invest his -money in our Association and I believe the Mocksville Building & Loan As­ sociation has done more than any other one thing to build up the t<fwn;but it is very patent that certain selfiish people are (as they have all along)trying to control and use everything and every one in town for their own selfish purposes. The Mocksville John D’s, John Jacobs and Cornelious V’s., want the earth and the fullness thereof; some of the religionists and politicos want to dominate the whole town, and unless a halt is called, the fu­ ture of our town is doomed. I ad­ mire a brave and. courageous man, but the mid-night ' assassin who cowardly stabs you in the dark, is a contemptible and loathsome crea­ ture, and deserves the contempt of all right thinking people. I have but little of this world’s goods, but there is not enough money in the town and county to force me to swerve from my duty as I see it, and I am not in the habit of run­ ning, “ that I might live to fight a- nother dky.” Samson, was the strongest man, he pulled down the pillow of the. Temple and destroyed the Phiilistines—-but he lost his own life in the destruction of- his ene-i mies. Were it not for the SNOOP­ ERS, TOADIES, ‘JACKSNAP- PERS, BUSHWACKERS AND PEEZERRINKTUMS in Mocks­ ville/ the town InigHt hope to be something. In conclusion, if ■ the Board o f. Directors had informed themselves of the requirements of the Constitution and by-laws of the Association, prior to the last : meeting, they would not h a v e violated them or ignored them in their haste and hurry to kick out Ed. But I presume some folks;are so great a n d powerful in their own estimation, that, they can, do with impunity, that which ia.another is a great and unpardonable offense Certain Bther matters will be treat­ ed in a later article: at the present time I know of nothing that more fitingly describes Mocksville, than these lines from Patiiel Pefoe S- State a ie of Alarming Numbe|| oi Bank Failures in In 1926 a large number banks closed their doors cat big financial loss to the pe< North Carolina. The corpofatioti commissioner which has charge .'of the regulation of State banksij; seam absolutely impotent to cope!;, with the situation. ■ '-.ft There has been 31 business? days in North Carolina this year, an£f; already to date six State banks have closed their doors, an already tp date six State banks have closeji their doors, an average of a little more than one a week. If this ratio keeps up the end of tbe yeaj: 52 banks will have hit the ceiling' and goodness only knows how much money will aave been lost by* the citizens of North Carolina. \ During the past five weeks State bank at Sanford, Bethel. Golds­ boro, Swan Quarter, Washington and Creswell have closed their! doors. In some it is stated that the “depositors will be paid in full’’ but all of them say that just as soon as the bank closes. Last year when the Merchant Bank aud Trust company, of this city, closed its doors, Clarence La­ tham, at that time chief bank ex­ aminer, gave out a statement that 1 the depositors would be paid in full” and if any of them have ever got one cent we are at the first of it Latham afterward, it was found had been borrowing money from banks he had examined and giymg them a clean ^ bill of. health, tsind; was1 allowed to. resign. Why he was not prosecuted some one will have to atk the corporation com­ missioner. The general . assembly now In session would do well if they would Call a conference of the leading bankers of the State and devise some ways and means by which the alarming frequency of these bank failures was slopped. It is no use ;to ask Lee, Pell and Maxwell, the members of the corporation com­ missioner. They are absolutely important when it comes to bank- regolation and supervision and do not seem to be able to tell where they are or what their duties are in this respect. Banking plays an. i lnpprtant part in the businss of -any community and we could not get along with­ out these financial facilities but at the same time there shoulp be some safeguard thrown around these in-- institutions that would prevent them from going to tbe wall and thus squanding the hard earning of the citizens of North Carolina. We need a thorough revision and strengthening of. our banking laws and we "trust that the legislature will not adj urn until something is done for the relief of tbe people a- Iong this line.—Union Republican. f Vogler Service Sixty- Nine Years Old. poem: ‘ I am out of humanity’s reach; I'must finish my journey alone: Never bear the sweet music of speech, I start at the sound of my own.

Three Generations Serve Commun­ ity Continuously ForMore Than Three Score Years. 'Just sixty-nine years ago, there wias founded in Winston-Salem an institution which since the day of its inception, has every minute taeeu subject to call. Throngh the entire sixty-nine years, its doors have never been closed—its tele­ phone has never gone unanswered, day or night Early in 1858, the late A. C. Vogler opened on South Main St., a sm%ll undertaking shop and from that day to this three generations of the Vogler family have served this community, developed step by step, an institution which is today recognized throughout the entire South as one of the most outstand­ ing organizations in its own, or any other line of endeavor. A review of the growth and de­ velopment of this organization niakes an interesting study of what might be termed the “ Unwritten IawofAmerican Industries,” and brings out very forcibly that old adafce, “If the leader truly leads, he remains the leader.’’ - W P r -- © A. C. VOGLER Founder of Vogler Service. During the sixty-nine years of uti-interupted cbmmunity service, this institution has seen scores - of industries from whichv they pur­ chased furnishings, come into the field, hold their places for awhile: and gradually pass out, and it has also seen a limited number, which by, the service given, won and held tbe confidence of their clientele. In some instances, the present owners, \$ill and Gene Vogler.'are dealing with the same firms who more than a half a century ago, sold furnishings to their grand­ father. During tbe Civil War days, Ibe grandfather purchased from these firms perhaps one or two ar­ ticles of merchandise, and the son. tbe late Frank H. Vogler, increas­ ed the orders as his service expand­ ed, the grandsons today are buying from these same firms in car-load lots. Where the grandfather bought aivery small amount of supplies, the grandsons are today in some instances, placing contracts with the; same firms for. a whole year’s supply of certain merchandise: and furnishings. Where road conditions and equip­ ment of his time, limited the ser­ vices of the grandfathei to tbe vil­ lage and a'small community, and tile services of tbe father to the City and County, the third genera­ tion of ;Voglers, are serviag today tiqt only their own City and com­ munity, but in some: instances are rendering their services to cities aid communities 175 miles distant ' The Statesville Daily and The Charlotte Observer have recently moved into their new and modern hotaes.

One of the city fathers tells The Record man that the reason the meters read more than usual in Jaunary was the fact that as a usual thing the meters were read between the i^fh and 2 ist of the month, but that last month the manager did not read the meters until the 25th or ::6tb, which would naturally cause Ihe amount for lights and water to be higher. The Record is trying io give the board fair deal and this information is gladly printed free of charge. ALL PULL TOGETHER. This town will never grow and make much progress until all of the business men and citizens generally get together and work in harmony with each other. Whenastranger comes to town give him a hearty welcome and let him know that you are glad to see him. Don’t try to run him out of town by raising rents, talking bard times and knocking Ijhe town. There is no doubt but that we have the best town in North Carolina, and some mighty good people. Ot course we have a few knockers—all towns have them— Ihit we-are fortunate iu having but fe’w of this class. It takes co-opera­ tion to .make the wheels go around The Record stands ready and. wilU ahg at 'all times to do.everything in its power to help Mocksville and Davie county grow bigger and bet ter. When we moved to Mocksville and bought The Record there wasn’t a mile of improved road iu the county; the court house andcouh,- ty home buildings were a disgrace to the county. The Recordeditor went out and worked night' atid dav to put over a'bond, issue for roads'and bridges; he worked hard for a bond* issue to build a new court house, jail and county home, and did everything possible for bet­ ter schools in everv part of the ■county. The town and county have made rapid progress along al] lines in the past 20 years. We have . fine school buildings a. good road system, modern county home and jail; and several fine cattle farms ih the county. The Record got the farmers of Davie interested in IgJteri Jiattle ,by carrying farmers f0 n ^ rio u s Sections of the county oa’-seiyeral occasions to visit the fine cattlefarms in Catawba. Wehave always stood for everything that would improve the county and we are glad that every progressive measure that we worked for has ^,been realized. There is much work to do yet, and we are ready and will ting to put oir shoulder to the wheel and help secure greater things for the people of Davie than those that . ^ve been secured in. the past. May Increase Pensions. Raleigh, Feb. 10.—Maj. W. C. Hfeath1 of "Sweet Union;” again Thade a telling; speech to a commit­ tee of the legislature, when he ad­ dressed the joint pension committee tonight, and won out in a.,- fight to have the old soldiers and old’ wid­ ows of the boys of ’65 given their larger share of. the ,moneys to be appropriated by the present general assembly, as incorporated -in the proposed subcommittee bill brought in for consideration by thefull com­ mittee. Major Heath did not make an impassioned .speech but his words went to the hearts of: 'every member of the committee, v. It re­ sulted in the members getting to­ gether and adopting section by sec­ tion, the re drafted measure. The bill would give soldiers per­ manently crippled,, jflind and ' inca- patiated $420 a yfear; and- to i all other soldiers $365 per annum. To a I widows of class A would go the sum of $300 each, while to those of class B would go $ioolper annum. The measure also sets forth that the widows of class B ’ would also get pro-rated among tbem-: what moneys were not !used: to‘ support the old soldiers. Lgst year 25 per cent died before the year was over. Baxter Durham, jsfate auditor, fig; u red a decrease of, so per cent was rather conservative; to..say the least. He felt that over $100,000 would be available for; addition to the widows of class Aj. those who married prior.to 1868, while, class B includes thgse who married since then and prior to Ji880 and;- those already on the. pension rolls., The bill takes care"’of'/ all ex-soldiers. Under the provisions of the com­ mittee’s bill all. negro servants who actively served inf the war (and there are only ' Ioy of them - alive) would get $200 each. The bill also will allow those, not of kin to pensioners, to receive checks when apptoVed by the state board and certified;to by the . clerk cf the court. !/Thjs was written ; in­ to the bill,sous to .take'-’care1,of cases where relatives had died out.

The Indiana law holds him for assault with a deadly weapon and attempt to rob, which merits a ten to twenty-year sentence, and thp Federal Government wants him for violation of fche national automobile theft act, Mr..

A drug­ gist shot him four inches below the heart on January 19th, but Wood survived, as his vital organs were not touched. On January 10 he held up a rail­ road brakeman in Indiana snd se­ cured his watch, a small amount of money and the brakeman’s clothes. On February 8 , he was identified through finger prints supplied by North Carolina authorities. The Terre Haute. Ind., chief of police made the investigation and Wood is being held under the chief’s person­ al charge. On January 7, Wood stole a Ford coupe in Roanoke, Va. Mr. Pou has been trying to bring Wood back here, while Indiana and Federal authorities are pressing for him.- - Raleigh, Feb. 13—State PrisonSu- perintendent George Pou tomorrow will take first steps toward the re­ turn of Otto Wood.

LESSON TEXT—Matt. 6:13-1$; Acts 2:42-47. GOLDEN TEXT—YVe are laborers together with God.—I Cor. 3:9. PRIMARY TOPIC—Praising God In Church. JUNIOR TOPIC — Serving In the Church. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- IC---The Meaning of Church Member­ship. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­IC—Living and Working Together In the Church. There is an utter lack of connec­ tion between the subject chosen by the lesson committee and the pas­ sages of Scripture selected. The first exhibits the responsibilities of the subjects of the Messiah’s kingdom, and the second pictures the graces which were upon the members of the primitive church. Definite recogni­ tion should be given this in our in­ terpretation of the passages. I. The Responsibilities of the Sub­ jects of Messiah's Kingdom—(M att 5:13-16). The whole mass of mankind Is shown in the Scriptures to be cor­ rupt—the whole world-in moral and spiritual darkness. It is the high privilege and solemn responsibility of the subjects of the kingdom to exert a saving and uplifting influence on the world In which they live. They are to live such lives as to purify and enlighten. This can only be done in the measure that they personally know Jesus Christ, the King, and strive to make known His glory and power to others. 1. “Te are the salt of the earth” (v. 13). The properties of salt are: (1) Penetrating. This means that the disciples must not separate them­ selves from the world, but thrust themselves into its activities. Salt must be brought into contact with the substance to be affected by it. (2) Purifying. The influence of the disciples of Christ is to uplift and purify. (3) Preserving. Salt has the tend­ ency to arrest decay. The influence of believers tends to save the world from perishing in its own vices. 2. “Te are the light of the world” (v. 14). Light illuminates and warms. In order to perform its mission, light inust not be hidden. The city built on a hill was not intended to be hid. This world is dark and cold. Many are the pitfalls and snares set by the devil. Believers in Christ should so live that the unwary ones be kept from falling into them. II. Characteristics of the Primitive Church (Acts 2 :42-47). The behavior of the members of the early church was as marvelous as their gifts of speaking with tongues and performing mighty miracles. It was the result of the Holy Spirit In their hearts 1. They sought instruction from those who knew the Lord (v. 42). This is always so. The unfailing mark of the spirit-filled believer is eagerness to receive instruction from those who have been taught by the Lord. 2. They abode in fellowship with one another (v. 42). Spirit-filled believers have an affec­ tion for their kind. 3. They observed the memorial sac­ rament of Christ’s death (v. 42). Those who have entered into fel­ lowship with Christ wiU faithfully ob­ serve this memorial. 4. They continued in prayer (v. 42).A sure mark of the spirit-filled be­ liever is a life of prayer. 5. They were together (v. 44). This unity was the result of their having been baptized into the one body of which Christ is head (I Cor, 12:13). ^ ' 6. They had a community of goods (w . 44, 45). They sold their possessions and dis­ tributed them to all men as they had need. This proves that they were un­ der the power of the supernatural. It is not a natural thing for Onei to aban­ don his title to earthly possessions. '7. They were filled with gladness and singleness of heart (v. 46). Those who are. really bom from above are filled with great Joy and will devote themselves to the doing of good to others.8. Praising God and having favor with all the people (v. 47). Such unselfishness gained the at­ tention of the people and induced them to yield themselves to God ond such as were being saved were added unto them. Fullness of the Spirit God cannot give fullness of th« Spirit to him who does not haye such fullness of trust as to yield his life to Him—Echoes. .

Hundreds of "these diminutive machines are to be seen scurrying around the streets of Paris and Berlin. The one shown above is of the Berlin variety and although considerable dignity is lost when one attempts to enter the machine, they can be quite snug and,comfy when one is seated in the small interior. PUT BEST TIRES ON REARWHEELS Spare Shoe A lso Should H ave Its Turn Off Duty, Says Expert. A question that is asked very often by ^motorists has to do with the plac­ ing of tires to receive the greatest mileage and service from them. There Is some little difference of opinion among tire users as to whether the two best tires should be placed’ on the front wheels or on the rear. One group claims that the best tires should be placed on the front, to eliminate or minimize the danger of losing control of the car In case of a blowout while traveling at a high rate of speed. Danger Negligible. Experience, gained by driving mil­ lions of tire miles under observation by tire men, proves that the danger from this source is negligible and' is in every case the fault of the driver In losing his head. Efficient operation of a car requires good traction, and for this reason the best tires should be on the rear wheels. The tires that are more worn should be on the front wheels. In the case of a new or practically new spare tire, this should be used In the following manner: At the end of several thousand miles of driving ex­ amine the rear tires and select the one that shows the most wear arid remove it, replacing it with the spare. Re­ peat this operation. Placing New Tires. On new cars where usually there are five new tires, they may remain in the original positions until several thousand miles have elapsed, then the front tires should be put on the rear wheels and vice versa. The fifth new tire should have its regular turn on the car. M otor Spring Facts for M ore Com fort in R iding Discussing automobile springs and their value for comfort In driving, in the Journal of the Society of Automo­ tive Engineers, F. G. Mock, research engineer, calls attention to an er­ roneous belief which must.be discarded in the interest of better riding condi­ tions. “This is the impression that interleaf friction can be a satisfac­ tory means of taking up spring action. More than 60 pounds of friction per spring in cars weighing from 2,500 to 8,500 pounds will result In noticeably stiffer riding,” says Mr. Mock. “The greatest improvement in riding com­ fort that can be made with reasonable expense on the average privately owned car today is to grease the springs well, put on spring covers and automatic lubricators to maintain this condition and then fit shock absorbers which resist spring recoil, but do not make the springs stiffer on the bumps.” A m ericap M otorists A re Shown Favor in Europe Information as to how American travelers can arrange to take their cars with them into the various coun­ tries of Europe and adjacent Mediter­ ranean areas without being"subject to tedious customs formalities is detailed in a Department of Commerce publi­ cation. Generally speaking, the bulletin ex­ plains, automobiles may be taken for a limited time into most of these coun­ tries for touring purposes free of duty by making a cash deposit (to be re­ funded later) or by giving bbnd (to be canceled later) for the amount of import duties, or by using the trlp- tique privilege. • M otor Enam el Im proves A ppearance o f O ld Car When overhauling the motor try scraping all the oily dirt off the out­ side surfaces, tfioroughly clean with gasoline and after drying paint It with motor enamel. This enamel can be obtained in either aluminum or black and will decidedly imprOve the appearance of ari old motor, says the American Automobile Digest Then, if the valve covers and all places 'that ordinarily leak oil are kept ^ghtIy fastened on. dust will not collect so easily, and the usually neglected dirty job of making many small adjust­ ments will be a pleasure. Ten Tim ely Safety Tips for M otorists Ten timely anti-accident sug­ gestions are contained in a bul­ letin issued ■ by the National Safety council, which credits Charles A. Harnett, New York state, commissioner of motor vehicles, with the following: 0 I. Look out for children. You can never tell what they’ll do, and you’re always In wrong if you hit one. . 2. Don’t pass a standing trol­ ley car. Some day the jury may call it manslaughter. . 3. Don’t speed around corners for it’s a straight route to the hospital. 4. Drive on the right side of the road; it’s the only safe side. 5. The fact that you had the right of way won’t bring any­ body back to life—least of all yourself. Usfe discretion. 6. Do not stop short without' giving warning. The other fel­ low is no mind reader. 7. Do not back up without looking to the rear. 8. Do not park or pass on curve or hill. There’s plenty of straight road. 9. Slow down when approach­ ing a crossroad: It is nearly as dangerou# as a railroad crossing. . 10. Be courteous to other drivers and traffic officers. Cour­ tesy prevents accidents. Transm ission Bands A re Q uite Easy to A ssem ble Transmission bands with a detach­ able ear can be more readily assem­ bled with some kind of tool which will pull and guide the bands around the trarismission drums. Such a tool can be made gs shown in the draw­ ing. A piece of steel phonograph spring, about three feet long, was an­ nealed, drilled and slotted at one end with a file,' so that it could be at­ tached to the projecting studs on the Handy Tool Made From Spring Steel Is Helpful In inserting Transmis­ sion Bands. band.. One end was bent back* and riveted. The opposite end was fitted with a file handle, which was done by sawing the handle lengthwise and riveting the spring to it. In use, the threading tool is inserted from the left side of the transmission, is pushed around the drum, and the transmis­ sion band is hooked into the elongated slots and pulled down through the transmission. The tool should be made so that the natural curve of the spring1 will conform to the drum.— Popular Mechanics Magazine.

The police get hiiri.* I* • One desirable form of disarmament would be to take his motor away from the reckless driver. * * * It takes organization to get your rights. Forty pedestrians in a, close bunch can stop any darned flivver.. * * * Speed maniacs represent a danger to life and property which no peace conference can hope to eliminate. * . * • A windshield cleaner is an appro­ priate .Christmas gift for a motorist, suggests the National, Safety Council. •; ‘ • ■ «■' Motorists shouldn’t tow children on sleds* which may be struck by auto­ mobiles approaching from the rear, warns the National Safety Council. R EADING between the lines, it takes a mpther or sister to divine the needs o£ a girl just budding into woman* hood: “My sister was not very strong and had been taking all sorts of pills and sniff for constipation. She was fourteen and of course embarrassed with pimples. SoI bought her a large bottle of Syrup Pepsin. She has had . no constipation since, her com­ plexion is good and she is much stronger, healthier and happier. Now I always recommend Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin.”' (Name and address will be sent on request.) Has Brought Up Entire Families Syrup Pepsin is a mainstay fromInfancy to full growth.

Au Englishman, who was far off his course and confused about his next directions, asked an Irishman, cutting peat in the wilds of Connemara, how to get to Letterfrack. The Irishman labored over the directions, so intri­ cate and roundabout were the roads, until, having done his best, lie added this: “If It was meself that was go­ ing to Letterfrack, faith I wouldn’t start from here!”—New Outlook. Clean Kidneys By Drinmng Lots of Water Take Salts to Flush Kidneys If Bladder Bothers or Back Hurts Eating too much rich food may pro­ duce kidney trouble In some form, says a well-known authority, because the acids created excite the kidneys. Then they become overworked, get sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery In the kidney !,region, rheu­ matic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irri­ tation. The moment your back hurts or kid­ neys aren’t acting, right, or ,if , bladder bothers yofi,* begin drinking’lots of‘ good water and also get ajbout four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful In a glass of 1Water 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, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activ­ ity: also to neutralize the acids In the system so that they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder disorders^ c Jad Salts can not injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent IithIa- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to heflp keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus often avoiding serious kid­ ney disorders.

Slowly but surely he was learning self-control. Martin, the elevator operator, and Griggs, the night hall man, were ,already bidding him good evening and regarding him with friendly and interested eyes. To see him suddenly fall upon and beat a shabby stranger would surprise and pain them, besides unpleasantly stir­ ring up the neighborhood. A better opportunity would present Itself, or could be made. In the meantime, however, he must convey to Herbert- Ransome Shaw some idea of the otter contempt In which he held him. Taking Griggs confidentially by the arm, Laurie pointed out the skulking shadow. “See that?” he asked In ringing tones. Griggs was a Goliath In proportions and deliberate in his movements. He took his time to discover the object young Devon indicated. In the shad­ ow the object stirred restlessly.' “Yesslr,” Griggs then said, uncer­ tainly. “It's—it’s a man, sir.” “Is it?” asked Laurie with interest, and still in loud, clear tones. “I’m afraid you're mistaken. But whatever it is, step on it!” He entered the elevator after this crisp instruction, and was wafted up to his rooms.- The hall man moved hesitatingly down the building's three As He Walked Down the Outer Steps ' of the Studio Building and Emerged on the Sidewalk a Figure Detached Itself From the Shadows. steps to the sidewalk. One. never knew exactly what young Devon was getting at. Still, if he really wanted Griggs to step on anything—” Griggs stopped. A slight sensation of disappointment swept over him. He was a conscientious man who de­ sired to do his duty. But there was absolutely nothing for him to step on, except the snow-covered and other­ wise Inoffensive pavement. CHAPTER VIII Samuel Plays a 'New .Game The next morning Laurie awoke ftom troubled dreams with a vaguu feeling that life was getting a Bise out of him, a feeling that the absent morn­ ing greeting of Rodney Bangs did not help to dissipate. Without realizing it, young Devon had rather sunned himself in the adulation of his chum. When this adulation was removed, he missed it; and for the present, at least, there was.no question that adulation was lacking. Not that Bangs failed in any of the outward forms of friendship, but his manner had changed. He was increasingly preoccupied. When Lau­ rie spoke, Bangs had the effect of coming to him from a.long distance, and^even of having one foot extended, as it were, for the return journey. The two young men breakfasted to­ gether, for the first time in several days; and over their coffee and ciga­ rettes Laurie confided to his friend his new anxiety about Mrs. Ordway. Bangs at once became human. In­ deed, he showed a degree of solicitude that surprised his friend. It was sud­ denly clear that Rodney was vastly Interested in Louise. He had even ventured to call on her, though Laurie did not yet know this; for the first call was made, as it happened, on the afternoon of the day when the two young men had Indulged.in their first sertous quarrel. , ^ Bangs, usrfally the most modest and self-conscious of youths, had abruptly lost his shyness untler the urge of a need to talk about his chum to some one who would understand. And Louise had understood, quite surpris­ ingly. Recalling the long talk he and she had had, the help she had given him, the plans they had made, Rod­ ney grew very serious. “It’s lucky Sonya ’s In ,town, ne said, when this further fact had been revealed. “Let1* go over to the hotel and see'her I’ght after breakfast. Perhaps we ought to cable to War­ ren. Sonya will know.” He spoke with such studied care­ lessness that Laurie flashed a sudden ' look at him. Under it Bangs flushed to the roots of his burnished pompa­ dour. “Well, well,” murmured Laurie, “this Is interesting! Odd I didn’t no­ tice it before.” Whatever “it” was, he gave his whole attention to It now. Leaning forward, he ostentatiously studied Bangs, with an expression at once in­ dulgent and amazed. “A flush on his cheek,' too,” he mused aloud. “Shut up!” Bangs clenched his teeth, while the flush deepened. “Easily irritated; respiration slight­ ly Irregular, all the familiar symp­ toms.” “For God’s sake, Laurie, don’t be an ass!” begged Bangs. “All tie familiar symptoms—of a heavy cold,” murmured Laurie, sym­ pathetically. “A hot bath and a dose of quinine might help at this stage. But If it geta worse—” Laurie reflect­ ed, anxiously shaking his head—“If it gets wors.e Tll send for Sonya,” he finished brightly. He rose, dodged the roll Rodney hurled at him, and strolled out of the room, opening the door again to add an afterthought .that suddenly oc­ curred to him. “Don’t risk your life by going to the hotel, old man,” he added, kindly. “Take your quinine, and I will call on Sonya.” “She’ll tell us whether or not to cable for Warren,” repeated Bangs, with great dignity. But Sonya, when she came into her hotel sitting-room an hour later, did not immediately solve this problem. For the moment her mind was wholly on the Infant Samuel, who was to have his adenoids cut out that morn­ ing, and who had been encouraged to look forward to the experience as a new delight While they' were ex­ pressing fitting interest, Samuel him­ self entered the room, alone, but with all the effect of a juvenile procession. By the left leg he dragged his most cherished possession, a battered and dim-featured rag doll. ,Hospitably greeting the two young , men, he sol­ emnly presented the doll to Bangs. “What's this?” asked Rodney,-with a friendly impulse to adapt his con­ versation to the young. “Hullen,” affirmed Samuel, “Hullen, R. J.” _ “What does that mean?” Bangs appealed to Sonya. “It’s the doll’s name. He gave it to her himself. ‘Hullen,’ I suppose, means Helen, and Mr. Warren’s ini­ tials, you know, are R. J. Evidently Samuel liked the sound of them.” Samuel retrieved Hullen R. J. “Hullen R. 1J. go hos’tl wiv Sam­ my,” he further announced. / “She will,” corroborated Sonya. “He never stirs without her, and she sleeps in his bed every night” , Laurie turned a shocked gaze on' Samuel, and Sonya laughed, then gulped. “I’m horribly nervous this morning,” she admitted. ‘1 wish it were over. Xou see, a certain cherub isn’t going to like matters at all after they really begin at, the hos’tl. And- his mother will be more of a burden than a help.” Bangs had an inspiration. “Suppose I go with you,” he sug­ gested. “Then if you need a strong man to hold the cherub—” “Two strong men,” corrected Lau­ rie. “Do you imagine that I’m going to desert Samuel in his hour of need?. Besides, Tve got to keep an eye on Bangs,” he added sweetly, and was rewarded by a glare from that over­ wrought young man. "Noticed anything odd about Bangs lately?” Laurie asked Sonya. She turned on Rodney the- dark gaze of h'er serene eyes. “Why, no” “You will,” Laurie predicted, with a mournful shake of the head. “Watch him closely, and call on me If there are. alarmiqg symptoms that you don’t understand!” Bangs rushed into confused speech. “He thinks I’ve got a cold,” he gulped. “His nonsense, of course. Nothing in the world the matter with me. Er—how soon ’do we start?” Laurie, helpless with laughter, rolled the ecstatic Samuel on thfe floor. Samuel’s voice took on an added note of Jubilation. Sonya, his mother, Hul­ len' R. J., “Lawwle” . and ■ “Misser Bangs” all going with him to the hos’tl —It was almost too much pleasure! Samuel became slightly intoxicated. .“He wants to sing,” remarked Lau­ rie, with masculine understanding of a fellow heart.' “All right, old man,” he encouraged. “How about that beau- tiSnl hymn I taught you at Bab’s wed­ ding?” With considerable help Samuel re­ called the ditty : Hey, hey, ve gangsall here, Whalahaloo we care,Whalahaloo we care,Now—wow—wow—WOW—WOW! “Laurie!” Sonya spoke with sudden austerity. “It’s a relief from his mental istrain,” Laurie explained. “Any doc­ tor will tell you that.” In the hos’tl, however, things as­ sumed a different aspect. Still flrmly holding Hullen R. J. by the leg, and keeping a steadfast eye on the sur­ geon, Samuel took In his Immediate surroundings with a dawning sus­ picion In his soul. Having two men throw lights on his face and look down his throat had lost its novelty, though Sonya bad assured him that wonderful views were to be seen there which he alone could reveal. Also, the men seemed hurried, and didn’t want to look at Hullen R. J.’s throat, though Samuel warmly recommended this variety in the entertainment. In short, the situation had become sinister. The smiles around him were dreadful-looking things, all except Lailrle’s. With an appalling howl .Samuel detached himself from the surgeon’s grasp and fled to Laurie, who picked him up and held him flrm­ ly and comfortably In his lap until a lady In white came with something nice for Samuel to smell. The next thing Samuel knew was- that he was In bed in a strange room. He gulped and discovered that his throat was sore. He sat up, distend­ ed his mouth for a yell, and then very slowly closed it. , From every, corner of the room faTj miliar figures were hastening to his side. The lady In white, Sonya, and his mother all reached him at, the same moment. On the pillow beside him .Hullen R. J. awaited the honor of his attention-like a perfect lady. No howls from her, as Sonya imme­ diately pointed out As she thus soothed, Sonya was kissing him.—The lady In white was offering him some­ thing pleasant to drink. His mother was patting his back. For, ,a long instant Samuel took in the gratifying fact of these activities. Then he assorted his features, grabbed Huilqi R. J.,. exchanged his yell for a large smile, and permitted himself to be waited on. Deep In his mascu­ line consciousness he had realized that his world was normal again. Bangs and Laurie walked up Fifth avenue together, stopping at a flo­ rist’s to purchase the man’s entire- supply of ' roses for Mrs. Ordway. Bangs also discovered some masses of poinsettla and chrysanthemums that, as he said, “looked like her.” Laden with these spoils, they took a taxicab to the Ordway house, where they found Jepson exuding an atmosphere of reassurance. Tessir, Mrs. Hordway seemed bet­ ter. She ’ad a more restful night, han’ Susanne said was quite bright this morning. Hof course she’d see Mr. Devon, hand prob’bly - Mr. Bangs, halso. Jepson would harik at once.

The traveling agent of a liver pill concern in the East struck this town to contract for an advertisement in the Torchlight remarks the editor of the Snagtown (Ark^ Torchlight Find­ ing that he was an old newspaper man and that he purposed remaining two or three days to take in the town, we set out to post him on some of the idioms and customs. He thought he knew it all, however, and that’s the reason he Is in bedroom No. 48 in the hotel with a bullet in his groin. It seems that he dropped into the White Eagle still and took a hand in a game of poker. The game ,is rather eccentric In this town. Sometimes two pairs beat four of a kind, and some­ times not It is a good deal according to who Is playing and how much there is up. It seems that our friend got a royal flush and was called by three jacks. He at once jumped to the con­ clusion that he had won the jackpot but he was sadly mistaken. Tom Ephriam Smith was in the game, and' it Wis 811 occasion when a pair of 3 Ixeli if held by Tom, would beat four aces. While raking in the pot the liver pill man was stopped by a bul­ let even if he gets well he will have a limp In his left leg.

"No, boss,” was the reply. “I have never had the money till now to buy glasses to read.” And it took the optician quite a lit­ tle while to convince him that glasses alone would not have the desired ef­ fect.—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

The word comes directly from the Greek “anthrax,” which means coal. Anthracite means “hard coal.” To say “anthracite coal” is tautologi­ cal.

Mead Ss Company.) Louis XIV ««T AM the state!” A The man who said this tlirew a tremendous accent on the “I.” It wag a way he had. He went on the theory that he and his personal long­ ings, ambitions and glories were the only things on earth to be considered. Yet this conceited little man in the big wig was the greatest sovereign of his day. For he was the “Grand Mon­ arch,” Louis XIV, king of France. Richelieu, the cardinal and prime minister, who had done so much fol France, and incidentally for himself, was dead. And Louis XIII had died soon after his minister, leaving tjie throne to his five-year-old son, Louis XIV. Cardinal Mazarin had succeed­ ed Richelieu as prime minister, and managed to embroil France in foreign wars and domestic revolts. He was a miser and forced the boy king to sleep In dirty, tattered sheets and to prac­ tice other humiliating petty econo­ mies. Fouquet, the minister of finance, took advantage of the un­ settled state of the court to rob the royal exchequer. Other abuses flour­ ished unhindered. Hence, when Mazarin died, in 1661, the twenty-three-year-old Louis de­ cided he had had enough of ministers. When asked to whom various matters of state were henceforth to be re­ ferred, he replied: “To me!” Hence­ forth he reigned as an absolute dicta­ tor. France was wrecked by war, dis­ content and hard times. The treasury was In bad condition. The young monarch found his position no sine­ cure. He set to work at once to build up the'country, without and within. r At once the Golden age or France be­ gan to dawn. By 1678, Louis was everywhere acknowledged to be the most powerful sovereign of Europe. Hts army was the largest on earth. Industry, literature, architecture, and art flourished in his’ realms as. never before. The French court’s magnifi­ cence was the envy of all nations. Among the famous men who added lustre to Louis’ reign and left immor­ tal names to posterity were the poet* dramatists Moliere, Racine and Corr neille; the painters, Claude Lorraine and Lebrun; the architect,' Mansard, and the preacher, Bossuet. France’s armies won everywhere brilliant vic­ tories and France’s fame and that of its king were world-wide. ’ Louis’ personal character was oddly out of keeping with all this greatness. A man of notoriously bad. morals, he was also Intolerably vain, arrogant and self-centered. The man who plana only for his own glory can win no permanent success. And so It proved with the grand monarch. He outlived his greatness. As the years went on the men of genius who had contribut­ ed so largely to his success began to die off. None of equal mentality re­ placed them. The beautiful and wicked women who in turn had swayed the court were now only old and wicked. The grand monarch him­ self was feeling and showing the marks of age and of the life he had led. Nor were his country’s affairs In less decadent condition. By an unjust and idiotic act of his own Louis has­ tened the downfall of the supremacy he had achieved. f Mme. de Maintenon, a woman of In. tensely religious tendencies but of nar- row, limited intellect, attracted the old king’s fancy. He secretly married her. Thereafter her influence over him was boundless. At her wish the gay court grew sombre and stupid. The king de­ voted to piety the houj-s that had for-* merly been given to pleasrure. Then, at his wife’s urgent plea, he revoked the edict of Nantes. This edict, estab­ lished by Henry IV, granted religious freedom and many other privileges to the Huguenots (Protestants) through­ out France. Its revocation threw the country Into panic. ' By thousands the Huguenots emigrated to Holland, Eng­ land and America. France suffered incalculable injury from the wholesale departure of these ill-treated people. Holland, Germany and Spain formed an alliance against France, and Louis learned most keenly that his power was on the wane. Then came the crushing blow of his whole life, in the famous war of the Spanish succession. The king of Spain, dying, bequeathed his throne to the duke of Anjou, Louis’ grandson.’ This, a crowning result of Louis’ diplomacy, threatened to unite the kingdoms of ,France and Spain. But the Archduke Charles disputed Anjou’s claim; and Germany, Holland and England, espousing the archduke’s cause, combined against Louis. In battle after battle the allies defeated the grand monarch’s armies, until, by 1718, France was beaten and humili­ ated and glad to sue for peace Here Louis’ old-time genius flared up for the moment; for only his statecraft and, policy saved, his country from dis­ memberment at this critical moment On September I, 1719, In his seven­ ty-seventh year, Louis XXV died. His greatness had died long before him.' He lived .to see his country humbled and disgraced through his follies; to see the plain people overburdened and oppressed by taxes to pay for his ex­ travagances; to witness the death of his son and' grandson, and to know .that the era of panic and semi-anarchy which ‘was at hand was' due to bis own mistakes and sins. Surely, a toler­ ably severe lesson in the folly of liv­ ing wholly for one’s self and for per sonal glory. ' Feed Beef for Spring Market Plan Is Favored Because of Low Price of Cottonseed Meal and Hulls. Because of the low price of cotton­ seed meal and hulls this winter, win­ ter feeding of beef cattle for the spring market might be a good venture for farmers who are favorably located for the work. Favorable Fattening Dates. “The most favorable dates for fat­ tening beef cattle are between Novem­ ber I and March I,” says Prot R. S. Curtis, animal husbandman at the North Carolina State college. "Cattle do better in the winter months and there is not so much danger in feed­ ing the meal. Those who wish to be­ gin this work should do so at once, otherwise the finishing period may ex­ tend over into the warm months. Con­ ditions then are less favorable for feeding cottonseed meal, farmers are busy In spring and the manure must be hauled out at an unfavorable time.” Professor Curtis states that when one starts to feed beef cattle with the meal, each animal should be given one pound daily and the amount be gradu­ ally increased so that a /full ration be given at the end of 30 days. A safe rule to follow for the full ration is one pound of meal to each 100 pounds live weight of animal, using 2% to 3 /pounds of hulls for each pound of cottonseed meal used. Where farm roughages are available the hulls should be decreased. It requires from 90 to 120 days to put a decent finish on beef cattle. Rations should be given them twice daily and water and salt kept before them at all times. Gain of Beef Animal. A beef animal, should gain from 160 to 200 pounds during a feeding period of 120 days and under average condi­ tions there should be a margin of two cents per pound between the buying and selling price. Most feeders figure that if they can break even and have the manure clear with 80' to 85 per cent of the fertilizing constituents of the meal in It, they have done a good piece of work. The finished animals are usually marketed during the early spring. Calf Feeds Necessary to Make-Rapid Growth If a calf eight weeks old is to make rapid growth it will be necessary to f&d it some milk with grain and hay. If it is impossible to feed it milk it will make a fairy good growth on the following mixture: Shelled corn, 30 pounds’; oats, -80 pounds; wheat bran 30 pounds! and linseed meal, 30 pounds. Mix and let the calf have all it will clean up without waste. The oats and com may also be ground, if desired. The calf should have all the bright clover hay it will eat and also all the water it will drink. Alfalfa hay can be fed Instead of the clover hay, but it is not so good for young calves as is clover hay, since it is much richer In protein, .which In some cases, does not agree with the '’calf. The calf should have a clean box stall and have plenty of sunlight Feed Adult Geese for Eggs Along in February Adult geese should be fed for eggs about February I, or so that the gos­ lings will be hatched by the time there is good grass pasture. In feeding for eggs give a mash of equal parts by weight .of com meal, bran, and mid­ dlings or low-grade flour with 10 per cent of beef scrap, in the morning, and a feed of corn at night A con­ stant supply of drinking water should be provided. If geese need grain when not laying, the beef scrap should be left out and the corn meal increased in this ration*to three parts. Cull Out Poor Sows It will not pay to carry sows through the winter if they are not sat­ isfactory pig raisers. Sows that for any reason are not raising good litters should be fattened and sent to mar­ ket. Old sows that are past the age of greatest usefulness should be re­ placed In the breeding herd by good gilts. Blindness, bad udders and slug­ gish disposition are frequently found with old sows. A sluggish, lazy sow is more apt to injure or kill her pigs. IK One way to. save labor is to put it on the best land. I • * * To keep the loafer bens from eating up the profits why not eat up the loafer hens? * * * The term unit as applied to fertilizers means I per cent or 20 pounds In a ton. « • • A-farm inventory is the first step In keeping farm accounts.

'■?' L ittle P o ta to e s G o o d f o r P la n tin g Avoid Tubers That Are Badly Sprouted. Plant the small ones and _save ex­ pense, is the advice of F. A*. Krantz of the division of horticulture, Univer­ sity of Minnesota, to potato growers who are beginning to think in terms of seed for next spring. Mr. Krantz says that whole small potatoes are even better to plant than seed pieces from large tubers, pro­ vided they come from vigorous; healthy plants. If planted when weather conditions are unfavorable (here is less likelihood of the whole small potato rotting In the ground than there is of the seed pieces cut from large potatoes. "Growers who have kept up seed plots will be perfectly safe In planting their small, unmarketable stock,” says Mr. Krantz. “The small seed potato should be firm in substance, with the first sprouts just beginning to appear, and should be of a minimum weight of two ounces. Badly sprouted small po­ tatoes should not be planted. In a time of high prices like the present growers can make a saving by using their smallest tubers, if properly grown, for this year’s seed. But do not increase the acreage.” Fencing Aids Different Fields on Stock Farms Any farmer who raises stock knows that fencing and subdividing his pas­ ture so he can rotate the pasture gives 25 per cent more feed value to his stock because it eliminates the big percentage of feed that is trampled down. This soon pays for the price of the fence. There is another gain, however, real­ ized by the farmer who keeps books. The farmer who has all his fields fenced off not o%Iy pastures, but corn, oats and wlieaO"lands is able to turn his stock in these fields during the fall and winter. The stock not only bene­ fits from the food value of the rough­ age but Is at the same time scattering fertilizer on the fields. One farmer who kept track of his expenses closely said that the saving of labor cost in distributing fertilizer, as well as the smaller amount of com­ mercial fertilizer that he had to buy, more than paid for his fence without- counting the other benefits. This farmer said: “Every farmer pays for a fence whether or not he has it, the only difference being that the farmer who has good fences gets a big return off his investment.” I • Imported Varieties of Clover Not Recommended Tests of clover seed on experimental, plots at Ontario Parish, In Knox coun­ ty, Blinois, showed severe winter kill­ ing among all imported varieties of clover. Of the Chilean, Rumanian, Hungarian and English clovers more than 75 per cent were dead. The French seed, which is supposed to be falrfy hardy In Illinois had less than a 10 per cent stand, and of the Italian there was hardly a plant remaining. The most successful stands were from seed from Ohio, Michigan, Canada and Idaho, in the order named. ■Upder present national regulations all of these foreign clovers are stained red so that the purchaser may recog­ nize them immediately and be warned that they are not satisfactory for planting In this,country.• Tender and Palatable Meat Is Most Desirable H a farmer will fatten his heifers and kill and dress them properly he will have very tender and palatable meat A quick finish is desirablet.be- cause it is economical, but beef that Is fattened slowly may be very good too. Care should be taken not to excite the animal before killing, as this ad­ versely affects the quality of the meat. The carcass should hang for at least a week of ten. days before using, In order to get the best flavor. Some people think that the best flavored beef is from mature beasts, but meat from yearling^ properly fat­ tened, killed, dressed, ripened and properly cooked is very good. Satisfactory Ration A simple mixture comprised of 40 parts com and cob meal, 35 parts ground oats and approximately 25 parts of oil meal makes a very satis­ factory ration where the cows have good legume roughage. If the cows are getting silage-many people prefer to feed cotton seed meal instead of the linseed meal, as the silage and legume hay are both somewhat laxative and therefore the laxative qualities of the linseed meal are not so badly needed. Whichever combination is used, how­ ever, will be found an ideal feed for ■dairy cattle.: When Sheep Eat Wool Did you ever find that your sheep eat wool? Not very long ago a farmer found that a number of his sheep died. So he examined' one of them and found wool In its digestive organs. The sheep ate wool because the ra- tions fed were lacking In certain ele­ m ents. A mixture, made as follqjps, solved tile problem: Mix 10 pounds of common salt, 2% pounds of steamed bone meal, 1% pounds of air-slaked lime and % pound of Iron sulphate Keep this mixture before the sheep In ’boxes, ■...... pooooooooooooooooooooooooo ^ R i c h e s M o c k W o m a n ; l o n e l y , K i l l s S e l f Waterbury, Conn.—Lulu Mor- den, who came East alone ten years ago with a determination to succeed in the business world, and who accomplished her de­ sire to the extent of^some half- million dollars, is dead, by her own hand because in her eager­ ness for financial Independence she neglected to make any friends. *Loneliness developed Into des­ pair, and so the president and treasurer of the Morden Manu­ facturing company, doing a business of $150,000 a year, turned on the gas in one of the 16 rooms of her large home here.■Miss Morden started her busi­ ness of making loose-leaf books and stationery appliances with almost nothing, and when she died the business was employ­ ing 300 men, and she had ac­ cumulated a fortune of about $500,000. ^OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO t t D E V I L ” L E T T E R S T R A C E D B Y L A W Defective Letter in Machine Reveals W riter. Danville, Va.—A local committee of investigation has established the au­ thorship of nine anonymous letters signed “The Devil,” which were sent through the mails to the nine Danville ministers who recently voted against extending an invitation to Evangelist M. F. Ham to come to Danville. The development is likely to add to discontent between laymen and the organized ministry in Danville and is upsetting the movement started by older churchmen who are trying to relegate to the background an issue In which they see .,danger to the church generally. The anonymous letters, typewritten, express to the ministers the keen ap­ preciation of “his saturine majesty for promoting his kingdom on earth,” and contain unflattering references to the ministers’ character and religion. A professional man who was sus­ pected denied that he wrote the let­ ters, but one of the investigators se­ cured entry to his office, took a speci­ men of work from his typewriter, and found that one of the letters had the same flaw as that appearing in all of the anonymous letters. The professional man was shown “the proof.” He excused himself by saying that he had not “written” the letters but had dictated them. He said that he was laboring under high religious strain at the time. His name has not been made public.

One experience is sufficient, Doctor Geerllngs said, after an argument with a 220-pound bear. On a deer hunting trip in the upper peninsula the physi­ cian became lost in a swamp with darkness coming on. He picked out a hollow log and decided to enlarge the opening and spend the night Suddenly hearing a noise, he turned and saw a black bear approaching. The doctor realized then that he was disturbing the home of the bear. The hunter fired and toppled the bear, which jumped and ran. Meantime, Doctor GeerlingfS brother, who was searching for him, arrived. By the light of a lantern the two tracked the bear. They came on the wounded bear, which showed fight but was killed by a second shot. The doctor brought bis bear home with him along with a deer.

During the past week three more state banks closed thier doors, thanks to the excellent (?) super- vision of the state corporation com­ mission which also is supervise and regulate the Bank of Hyde, at Swan Quarter, closed up Tuesday but no statement of its assets and liabilities has been given out. . Wednesday the Saving Bank and Trust company, of Washington, N. C., gave up the ghost, officials an pouncing that the bank had re­ sources of $360,000 liabilities of $270,000 and deposits of $200,000.. Inability to collect loans and steady withdrawals by depositors is given as the cause of the closing. " The past week, the Peoples Bank at CreswelI, Washington county, closed up but no fingers have been secured as to how the Gnaucial af­ fairs of the bank are. Including three named about this makes six state banks that have closed their doors this year, an average of one a week, the other three being Bauking Loan and Trust couipaup, Sanford; Farmers and Merchants Bank, Bethel, Pitt county, and Peoples Bank and Trust company, Goldsboro.—Ex.

Curious things are going on in the management of the State pris(- * on and the working of the pardon mill,: presided over by HoyleSwink unknown Lexington lawyer, who is acting pardon commissioner. The Mount Airy News says that for three or four weeks, Ai W. George of Flkin, Surry county, has been spending the time with his family at Elkin. George is sup posed to be serving a five-year term in the State banking laws in con­ nection with the closing of the l Farmers and' Merchants Bank, at ElkiuT several years ago and has served but two years of his term but he has made several trips back 'home-during that period. It is known that he spent Christmas in Elkin with his family There has been printed no re*: ported in the State press as to any' clemency extended to George and people who lost money in the bank are wondering how it comes' about that he is walking about a free man. Why keep the matter a secret? Rich Chatham, one of the rub­ ber stamp directors of the State * prison, lives at ElkimamJ might: be able to throw Some light on why George’ has been-given his freedom without the forinality of a; pafdoa or parole from Sink’s office;—Union Republican. • .

E. McLaughlin, of States­ ville, a past master of the art of humorist story telling tells the Landmark of an incident of how young man—a patient of his—was led to give up boozee habit. It was a custon of the young man in question to get drunk— dead drunk—at regular intervals, and.after each spree the doctor had to be called in to counteract the dis­ astrous after-effects. This.business of having to be called to help in the “sobering” business got rather monotonous and the patient’s phy­ sician gave the young man warning that the next time he got on a spree and wanted a doctor he could get some one else. In due time the doctor was called again and this tiihe he refused to go. Members of. the family, however, uniting in an earnest entreaty, brought the physician promptly to the bedside of -the patient who was going through with the aftermath of his accustomed indulgence of appetite. The good-natured doctor, while attending the young man threw out a few technical words describing the condition he found the patient in, and his remarks brought on suspense and bewilderment in the family and in the neighborhood. Every rumors as to what was the fellow was greatly magnified every time it was repeated in the neigh­ borhood gossip. The suspense, anxiety and consternation gradual­ ly increased until.a neighbor of the young Hiah1Yneeting the doctor in the road one day stopped him with these words: “Doc, they are telling all kinds of tales about what you said was the matter with John—I want you to tell me the truth—I want to know what is really wrong with him.” “Well,” said the doctor, with solemn expression, after shifting his glasses a little in order to add to the dignity and solominity of the occasion, “since you have asked me for the truth, I will tell you John is suffering from philopro­ genitive contortions with spasmod­ ic action of the endometrium, which may cause a physiological vacuity,” “May God!” his anxious inquir­ er exclaimed, with an expression, of deep dispair on. his face, ‘ ‘he can’t get well—he’s as good as dead right now, if all that is the matter with him!” But the young man recoved— notwithstanding the unheard of ailment—stopped drinking, and is now holding a position as police­ man in one of the'important cities of PpiedmontNorth Carolina. Holiness Preacher Gets \ Road Sentence. A sentance of 18 months on the roads was imposed on Rev. A. B. Tucker, a Holiness minister, in Moore county Superior court. He was charged with the larceny of a deed and forgery. Tucher was convicted of' having stoled a deed from the home of his host, E. D: Jordan, of the Pine- hurst community, and substituted his naihe in the place of Mr. Jor­ dan, to whom the instrument was made W- S. Jordan, of Randolph county, was the conveyor and the deed called for a tract of land about 35 i-2 acres, in Sandhills township. It is valued at about $1,000. The alleged offense was commit­ ted in December 1925. wheD Tuck­ er was a guest at the Jordon home. Thd was in a box, or a drawer, a- Ibng with some other valuables be- lingiug to Mrs. Jordan,, lit has Hever been recorded, and when the Moore county 1 clerk of the court, jt was accepted without question, PreachersWayjSSwit Rev. Charles B. Way, of this city is receiving national attention by reason of winning his suit for , $328 unpaid salary from the MethbSist Protestant church of Shelby. ‘ One of the the big newspaper feature services is carrying a picture of-.the local minister find a brier account of his suif, which was recently up held by the Supreme Court. .7 H The High Point Enterprise Jast Thursday contained an editorial re­ view of the case, in which Mr. Way recently secured a judgment in' a local court that in effect is said ‘to amount to a lien on the chuch build­ ing of the congregation at Shelby. He might be forced to sell the church at auction and bid it in’ himself in order to collect his judg­ ment, says the High Ppint paper, but that editor declares that the minister is right in forcing the is sue. Too long, it says, cougrega tions have had the habit of forcing out preachers with part of the a- agreed salary unpaid and until now’ the victim has had no recbuse. In many of these cases the total salary is small and the non-payment of a' portion of it is a serious matter, even more so than wouldrbe a larger amount of a really living salary. The supreme court in passing on this case recently held that churcn trustees are mere guardians of the property of congregation and are not liable to be sued for. the debt of the church as a whole, but congre­ gations can be sued for unpaid,-sal­ ary and a judgment so secured . is valid again'st -'FafiY- • property: 'the church may own - Xr- There have been indications late­ ly that the matter will be settled up so that the minister will get his back pay and the congregation will escape having its church sold at auction. ; , The material consideration in this suit is comparatively small but the legal principle is important and far reaching.—Lexington Dispatch. Red Peppwr For The Hugger. The police depast me tit of Potts- ville, Pa,, has consented to the use of re pepper by young women: of Monhantongo street and Howard avenue, in the aristocratic residen­ tial section of the city, A young man described as tall, good looking with black hair and wearing a light gray overcoat, has been having much furi-for several nights hug­ ging and kissing girls and matrons Many mafried have been em­ braced by the hugger, who is said to posses a daintily curled moust- ache.

Friend Stroud:—Have just read what you bad to ;say concerning the old Davie Times ip last weeks Re­ cord. . I was in Mocksyllle at the time the Davie Times was discon­ tinued, so will tell you how it came about. Mr. T. R. Walsh was the last owner of the Times, he haying purchased it from A. M. McGlam- ery. Mr. Walsh failed with the paper and sold the outfit to Sells and associates'of Cooleemee. '.Mr. Walsh and myself moved the out­ fit to Cooleemee and there we ‘.‘set up” and pridted the first issue of the Cooleemee Banner that was ever printed in that town. Abput the time the Davie Times went: out of business, W- K. Clement asso­ ciated with others purchased a; printing outfit and started the Mocksville Courier. The Courier' was successful, for awhile but final­ ly went on the rocks and was sold by the sheriff. >:J. Hamptqn Rich purchased this outfit and moved it to Winston-Salem. After this a- nother paper was started in Mocks- ville by Mr. Misenbeimer. R. SvMERONEY, Asheville, N.' C. New Bakery toOpen. Messrs Stanley Watts and Paul Kopenh aver, tell us that they hope to be able to open their new bakery in the build.ng adjoining the Prin­ cess Theatre, within a week or ten days: They promise to give the town a first-class bakery and fur­ nish bread, cakes, pasteries, etc., that will be as good as can be found anywhere in this section. We want the people of Davie county to patronize these gentlemau for the town and county can well support a good bakery.

Sanford Sons Co., was entered1 and. robbed sometime last Tuesday night by un­ known parties. An entrance was made through the rear door, after the, burglars had tried to break the front /door lock and failed. A- mong the articles missing was seven pairs of shoes, two ladies coats, one man’s overcoat, a quality of woolen dress goods aud a traveling bag. Mr. Brown, of Granite Quarry, brought a bloodhound to the scene of the robbery Wednesday morn­ ing, but after trailing for a short distance down Wilkesboro street and across a field, the trail was.lost. There is no clue as to the guilty party or parties. What Mocksville needs right now is a night Watch4 man to patrol the square from a bout 10 p. Uf1., until about 6 a. m. There are two many burglaries being committed in this section. A number of stores have beep brokpu into here within the past year. Some think the work is being done by professionals, while others think that it is done "by amateurs who live in this section. U44 x j J11111111111111111111111111111111 ...............

Remove Mystery Element. “Successful driving—that is,,: driving Ihat is free from accidents of every variety, even the most minor—depends upon each driver removing the ele­ ment of mystery from hia every in­ tention.

Through the medium of the effectively printed word, the On­ tario department of highways has un­ dertaken to “sell” the traffic police­ man as a friend of the motorist. Wisely, it seems, the minister of highways points out In an advertise­ ment that the traffic patrol “is not to inconvenience the motorist and not for the purpose of collecting fines. Its aim is to protect life and limb, and the JfAlic investment In the roads. Its work makes for the safety of yourself and your family.” Having addressed the motorist on the purpose of the traffic patrol, the highway official calls upon. the car owner to co-operate with the officers. On this point the ad reads: “Do not fall into the temptation of speeding because the road ahead Is clear. Remember that excessive speed is one of the greatest agents of de­ struction of some roads.” Excessive Cooling If the engine is subject to exces­ sive cooling—as many new power plants are—efficiency is impossible since an engine runs best when just below the boiling point. Excessive cooling can be minimized through us­ ing a smaller hose connection inside the regular connection. This restricts water passage and slows down cir­ culation. Never use emery cloth or sandpaper to clean the distributor points.

The only way this can be called a way of making the world Christian is by leading the individuals to a per­ sonal knowledge and experience of Jesus Christ and entering therefore into the power of the new life. Hav­ ing shown in chapters 3 and 4 of this epistle that the believer is free from the law as a means of justification, Paul makes practical application of this doctrine. The divine way of mak­ ing the community Christian is to se­ cure- the regeneration of the individual. The way to destroy the work of the devil is through the sonship of be­ lievers. I. Christian Freedom (vv. 13-15). 1. It Is not an occasion to the “flesh” (v. 13). Liberty is not license. The notion that when one is free from the law, that he is free from constraint, is wickedly erroneous. License oi the flesh means not merely the indulgence of the flesh In actual material sins, but In the expression of a self-cen­ tered life in biting and devouring one another (v. 15). 2. By-love serving one another (v. 13). Freedom from the Mosaic law means slavery to the law of love. The emergIng from bondage through Christ Is the passing into a sphere of life in which all the powers should act under the dominion of the true mo­ tive, love—Morgan: Love thus be­ comes the fulfillment of the law. II. Walking in the Spirit (w. 16-18). This discloses the secret of how a life of service to another can be lived. The governing principle In the life of a believer,is the Holy Spirit. Walk­ ing, in the Spirit results In: 1. Loving service to others. 2. Victory over the flesh (w . 16,17). By the flesh is meant the corrupt nature of man expressing itself in the realm of sense and self. The renewed man is two men between which is go­ ing on a mortal conflict. The Chris­ tian must choose between good and evil. When he chooses the evil, the Holy Spirit opposes, and when 'he chooses the good the flesh opposes. Notwithstanding this deadly conflict, victory is sure. III. The Works of the Flesh (w. 13-21). By works of the flesh is meant the operation of the carnal nature: The one who chooses to live according to the Impulse and desires of his nat­ ural heart will be practicing the fol­ lowing sins: 1. Sensuality (v. .19). 2. Irrellgion (v. 20). Thesei acts take place in the realm of the spirit and are: (1) Idolatry, which means the wor­ shiping of idols. (2) Witchcraft or sorcery. This means all dealing with the occult S. SIns of temper (w . 20, 21). ,, These take place In the sphere of the mind and are: (I) Hatred.' (2) Variance, which means strife and contention. (3) Emulations, jealousy. (4) Wrath, bursts of passion. (5) Seditions, fac­ tions in the state. (6) Heresies, fac­ tions in the church. (7) Envyings. (8) Murders. 4. Sins of excess (v. 21). (1) Drunkenness. This means in­ dulgence in intoxicating liquors. (2 ) Kevelings, acts of dissipation under the influence of intoxicants. Those who practice such sins shall be excluded from the kingdom of God. IV. The Fruit of the Spirit (w. 32-24). This Indicates action In the realm of life. The product of the Holy Spirit indwelling the believer. (L) Love to God and man. (2) Joy, glad-heartedness because of what God has done. (3) Peace with God and fellowman: (4) Long-suffering, taking Insult and injury without mur­ muring. (5) Gentleness, kindness to others. (6) Goodness, doing good to others. (7) Faith, believes God and commits all to Him. (8) Meekness, submission to God. (9) Temperance, self-control In all things. Against such there is no law.

If Kidneys Ad: Take Salts Says Backache Often .Means You . Have Not Been Drinking , Enough Water When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it may mean that you have been eat­ ing foods which create acids, says a well-known authority. An excess • of such acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug­ gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, remov­ ing all the body’s urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzyt spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weath­ er is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. . Either consult a good, reliable phy­ sician at once or get from your phar­ macist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act flne. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help dean and. Stimr nlate sluggish kidneys, also to neu­ tralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in­ jure and makes a delightful, efferves­ cent lithia-whter drink. Drink lots of soft water. • ILiterary Preparation “I’m going to speak over the radio tonight.” “Are you writing anything for the occasion?” J11Yes.

B. Caldwell, of Mon- ticello, 111., a practicing physician for 47 years, knew, that constipation was the ciirse of advancing age, he ditf not believe that a “purge” or “physic” every little while was necessary. 1 To him, it seemed cruel that so many constipated old people had to be kept constantly "stirred up” and haif sick by taking cathartic pills, tab­ lets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. — In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to “regulate” the bowels of old folks. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin not ofily causes a gentle, easy bowel movement but each dose helps to strengthen the bowel muscles, shortly t establishing natural “regularity.” It never gripes, sickens, or upsets the system.

Bangs had unexpected taste In color and arrangement, as Epstein’s stage-cUrector8 had discovered In the past Laurle watched him with po­ lite Interest. “Making a picture of yourself, aren’t you?” he asked. “Going into the sick-room with your little hands full of flowers?” But even as he scoffed he was unwrapping his own flowers. Bangs was right The act of handing a pasteboard box to a sick friend lacked esthetic value. . Jepson returned with a cordial mes­ sage. Mrs. Ordway would be charmed to see both young men, but she re­ ceived only one visitor at a time. Would Mr. Bangs come up now? And perhaps Mr. Devon would drop In again during the afternoon or eve­ ning. Bodney grasped his floral offerings and mounted the stairs two steps at a time, He was '"excited 'and his brown eyes showed i t It was most awfully good of Mrs. Ordway to let him come up in this informal way. Standing by the chaise longue where she lay, be told her so, his auburn head shining among the flowers he carried, like a particularly large chrysanthemum. Then, selecting some empty vases, he. sat down on the floor beside her and began to arrange his flowers, while she watched him, at' first with surprise, then with growing admiration. Bodney had no social airs and graces, no parlor tricks. If he had been formally sitting on a chair, hold­ ing hlB hat, he would have been a self-conscious and unhappy young m an.' As it was, with hands and eyes busy, and wholly at his ease, he talked his exuberant best. “How about Laurie’s romance?” Louise asked at once. Bangs told her about the vision In the mirror. As he did so, luncheon was served, and he was casually in­ vited to share It. Susanne, moving Shuttle-like between the table In the sick-room and the dumb-waiter In the upper hall, presently confided to a young footman a surprising piece of news, which he In turn confided to the incredulous Jepson. Young Mr. Bangs, who was lunching with Mrs. Ordway, must be as amusing as young Mr. De­ von himself. He had actually made the mistress laugh both times he came. She was laughing now, as Susanne11 had not heard her laugh for weeks. To be sure, this was one of her good days. But It wasn’t easy to amuse Mrs. Ordway at any time. Jepson summed up the situation In 'n oracular utterance: “Henny one that’s a friend of Mr. Devon’s his hall right.” When Bodney was leaving Jepson’s mistress expressed the Aame thought to her guest In a different way. “Come often,” she said. “You have given me a new interest. I don’t think you can quite realise what that means to me.” When Sonya arrived at five that aft­ ernoon. she found Jepson still exuding reassurance. With two doctors with­ in call, a nurse In the house, and Mr.' Devon and Miss Orleneff to telephone to at a moment’s notice, “nothing much conld ’appen.” So reasoned Jepson. He beamed approvingly on Sonya, informed her that Mr. Devon was In the sick-room now, and waved her through the hall with an effect of benediction. She found Laurie just leaving, and they had a moment’s chat on the up­ per landing. Mrs. Ordway, he told her, was rather restless this after­ noon, but she seemed better than she had -been yesterday. . However, he didn’t iike her looks at all, and he fancied the nurse was .disturbed. Sup­ pose Sonya sounded Louise about cabling for Warren? Surely Warren would want to know, Laurie thought. For the moment Laurie’s striking good looks were slightly dimmed. He Was hollow-eyed, almost haggard, things were coming just a bit too fast for him. . The habit of carrying the burden of others had been taken on too suddenly. Under the strain of it, his untrained mental muscles ached. It waB the irony of fate that'Sonya, looking at him with the clear brown eyes that were so much softer than Bang£’, and so much less beautiful than Doris’, should misinterpret his appearance,. his • emotion, and his re­ action from the high spirits of the morning. He was again going the pace, she decided; and, mingled with her pity for him, rose-tbe scorn of a strong soul teat was the absolute master of the body In which It dwelt His newly- nroused perception car­ ried some hint of this scorn to the boy, covered though it was by the 1S W . WNU Servlca friendliness of Sonya’s manner. The knowledge added to his wretchedness. He had a childish .desire' to explain, but he conquered it and hurried away. Some day, if not now, Sonya would understand. What, he himself did not understand was the long stride he had taken in the moment when he felt and resent­ ed her unspoken criticism. Hereto­ fore his attitude had been one of ex­ pressed and sincere indifference to the opinions others held of him. He wanted them to like him, but he didn’t care a hang whether or not they ap­ proved of him. Now, suddenly, he wanted Sonya’s respect as well as her liking. The discovery added to his mental confusion. If Sonya, when she entered the sick­ room, was shocked by the change In the appearance of her new friend, she showed no sign of It Sitting down beside the. chaise longue, she entered briskly upon a description of the recent experiences of Samuel. When she left the hospital the house surgeon was obediently endeavoring to look down the throat of Hullen R. J., and every nurse on Samuel’s floor was scuttering In and out of his room. Nevertheless the Infant, though gra­ ciously accepting these attentions, had demanded and received Sonya’s personal assurance that the particu­ lar game of the morning was not to be repeated. There was an unpleas­ ant element In that game which grown-ups might not notice but which hq, Samuel, had caught on to. Louise laughed and expressed a hope that Samuel would now be able to breathe without disturbing his neighbors. Sonya came to the real purpose of her visit. “He and his mother are going back to Devon house Saturday,” she said, “but I’ve got to stay in New York for a. few months, on account of my liter­ ary gaiumphings. I wondered If you— if it would be convenient for you—to put me up. I hate hotels and—” Louise lay silent for a moment. Then she reached out.and took Sonya’s hand. “Yes, you unskillful prevaricator,” she said. “You may come—and see me through.” Sonya held the hand tightly in her own. “There’s one thing more,” she went on, hesitatingly. "Laurie and Mr. Bangs and I wondered if perhaps you wouldn’t feel more comfortable If Mr. Warren came home. You know he himself would want to—” Louise closed her eyes. “Yes,” she said, “Bob would want to, If he knew." She was silent for so long that Sonya began to think she was not to have the answer to her question. Perhaps Mrs. Ordway was. leaving the decision to her. But to leave to others decisions that concerned herself was not Louise Ordway’s habit. Instead, she- was fighting a battle In which the lifelong devotion of a supremely self-centered nature was struggling with a new­ born unselfishness. Though new-born it was strong, as the invalid’s next words showed. "If I were calling him back from anything but his honeymoon,” she said at last, ‘Td do it. But he’s utterly happy. His letters Show that, in every line. I want him to stay so, as long as he can. I want his honeymoon to be long drawn out and perfect” Her manner changed. - “I have an idea that perhaps, after all, PU be here when he gets back,” she added more lightly. "Life still has its interests. But If I happen not to be here, tell .him. why I didn’t cable.” “I will tell him,” Sonya promised. ' Neither of them referred to the sub­ ject again. CHAPTER-IX An Invitation That evening Laurie walked across the square to Doris’ studio with a de­ cision in his stride which definitely expressed his mental attitude. He bad come to the conclusion that something must be done. What this something would be was still hazy In bis mind, but the first step at least seemed dear. Doris must move. - He was so convinced of the urgency of this step that he brought up the subject almost before the greetings of guest and hostess were over. Tossing his hat and coat on a convenient chair,' he stood facing Doris, his hands in his pockets, his black eyes somber. “We’ve got to get out of this, you know,” he abruptly announced. Her eyes, which had brightened at his entrance, grew as somber as his own. Without replying, she turned, walked across the room to the win­ dow, and stopd looking down Into the street. “Is he there?” she asked at last, and without moving her head. "Shaw? Great Scott, no! At least I didn’t see him. -I suppose he takes a few hours off now and then, during the twenty-four; doesn’t he?” “Oh, yes, he comes and goes, some­ times secretly. Sometimes openly. I did not see him at all today until late m : "If I Moved, How Long Do You Think It Would Take Him to Find Me?” this afternoon. Then he took up his post across the street just opposite this window, and stood there for al­ most an hour.” Laurie ground his teeth. “What does he expect to gain by that performance?” “Several things, I suppose. For one, he wants to get on my nerves; and he does,” she added somberly, and still without turning. Laurie made a yague tour around the room and brought up by her side. “You know,” he confessed, “I haven't really taken this thing In yet Even now, this minute, it doesn’t seem pos­ sible to me that Shaw could do you any real harm.” She nodded. '5 know. Why should it? Even to me it is like a nightmare and I keep hoping to wake up. There are hours, even days, when I con­ vince myself that it isn't real.” She stopped. “It must be very hard for any one else to understand,” she end­ ed, when he did not speak. “Nevertheless,” admitted Laurie, "I can't forget it I can’t think of any­ thing else.” “ In fo rm a tio n ” T ir e d o f O ld M a n ’s S ta le J o k e The new sales clerk who was “learn­ ing all about the store” had been placed by her section manager next to an information booth with instructions to “stay there and hear the questions customers ask.” They ranged all the way from the sensible to the insane." The prize, query came from a little elderly gentleman with a white beard. “What floor’s the basement on, eh?” The new sales clerk stared. He didn’t seem to \be kidding;, anyhow, one could never tell, and it was best to abide' by the rule: The customer is •always right even if occasionally Too Much Seroice ."An elderly gentleman was having lunch in our'grill,” said the hotel man­ ager, "and, as was. cuBtomary when his w ater. glass showed evidence of use, a passing waiter or bus boy re­ filled it After the fifth or sixth re­ filling the diner let out a roar.. ‘Stop!’ he cried. ‘I’ve been trying to,get that water glass to the proper level ever since I came to this table. My doctor ordered me to. take a pill In a third of a glass of water. Now I feel like an overloaded water-wagon and I still have the pill to take.’ "—Boston Tran­ script ' ' -j crazy. So she said, “Over there,” pointing to the stairs. The little man walked away mutter­ ing, "What floor’s the basement on, ha, ha.” Then the information clerk, who had ignored all this, turned and said: “Didya see I didn’t notice him? He comes around every month or so and asks.that pet joke of his. Asked me the first time I was here; he al­ ways picks a new girl to spring it on.” —New York Sun. Wrestling Bouts in Japan Every year the Japanese wrestling championship Is decided at the Koku- gikwan In Tokyo, says the Pathfinder Magazine. Here the ,wrestlers frorn the east and west of Japan struggle for supremacy. The championship bouts,- which are always picturesque, sometimes last for ten days or more. The matches begin early In the morn­ ing and last until , late at night. Each V^estler has a stage name, like our actors, In -fact, they are the heroes of the Japanese flappers, some of them being as popular as matinee Idols in this country. , The wrestlers all use the “catch-as- catch-can” method. Each match con­ tinues until one man is thrown. The man who-wins the championship be­ comes a popular national hero. . She took this as^naturally as she nad taken bis first remark. "It's going to be very hard for you. I was wrong to draw you Into it I am realizing that more and - mere, every minute.” s ' “You couldn’t help yourself,” he cheerfully reminded her. “Now that I am In It, as I’ve warned you before^ I Intend to run things, It seems to me that the obvious course for yon is to move. After you’re safely hidden somewhere, I think I can teach Her­ bert Bansome Shaw a lesson that won’t react on you.” . She shook her .head. “If I moved, how long do you Uiink it would take, him to find me?” “Weeks, perhaps months.” Again she shook her head. ' “I moved here a few days ago. He appeared exactly , forty-eight hours later. If I moved from here it would only mean going through the game of hare and hounds again.” . "But—” he began. She interrupted him. 1 'Tve reached the point where I can’t endure that any more.” For the first time her voice broke. "Can’t you im­ agine what that sort of thing would be? To get up in the morning and wonder if this is the day Tll see him under my window? To go to bed at night and ask myself if he is Inrirtng In the shadows below, or across the street, or perhaps outside my very door? To know that Booner of later he will be there, that his coming is as inevitable as death Itself—” She broke off. “I sometimes think I’d rather see a boa-constrictor crawling into my room than see Shaw down on the sidewalk,” she ended. "And yet—I know you can understand this—there’s, a queer kind of ’relief in the knowledge that at last, and finally, he has got me.” She whirled to face Laurie and threw out her hands. There was noth­ ing theatrical in the gesture, merely an effort of entire finality. “We have come to the end" of things," she flnistfed. “Since you would not have them end my way, they must end his way. Whatever happens, I 'shall not run and hide any more.” For a moment silence hung like a substance between them. Then the, visitor resolutely shook off the ef­ fect of her words. “I promise you I will get to the bottom of this,” he quietly told her. “In the meantime, will you try to for­ get it, for a little while? You know you said you could do that, occa­ sionally.” He was clearing the table as he spoke. Now he proceeded to unpack a basket he had sent over an hour before by Griggs, and which, he ob­ served, had not been opened, Drop­ ping back into her big' chair, she watched him with an odd look. If be had seen this look It would have sore- Iy puzzled him, for it held not only Interest but -an element of apprehen­ sion, even of fear. “In the past two days,” she said, after an interval, “you have sent me five baskets of flood, four baskets Of fruit, six boxes of candy, and three boxes of flowers. What do you sup­ pose becomes of them all?” “I know what becomes of the flow­ ers.” He cast an appreciative glance around the transformed room. “And I hope,” he mildly added, "that you eat the food.” She broke Into her rare laugh, soft, deep-throated, and contagious. Un­ der it his spirits rose dlzzylngly. “You are feeding half the people In this building,” she said, “not to men­ tion Sam and his home circle. Sam has absorbed roast chicken, cold par­ tridge, quail, and sweetbreads till he is getting critical. He asked me this morning if'I. shouldn’t like bam and eggs for a change!” Laurie felt slightly aggrieved. “Do you mean-to say that you’re not eating any of the stuff yourself?” he demanded. “Oh, I eat three meals a day. But I don’t keep boarders, you know; Soi I give the rest to Sam to distribute. He feeds several dozen art. students, I infer, and staggers home every night under the burden of what’s left” “There won’t be anything left this night” She had risen now and was helping to set the little table. Laurie looked at her with shining eyes. 'One of her rapid changes of mood had taken place, and she was entering into the spirit of the impromptu supper as cheerfully as if it were a new game and she a child. She had become a wholly different personality from the tragic-eyed girl who less than ten min­ utes ago had somberly announced that she was making her last stand In life. Again, as often before, Laurie felt overwhelmed iby the rush of con­ flicting emotions she aroused.- “Shall we have this big bowl of roses 'In the center, or the four little bowls at the corners?” she asked ab­ sorbed^ As she spoke, she studied the flow­ ers with her head on one side. Fot the moment, it was clear, the question she had asked was the most vital In the world. “The little ones,” decided the guest •The big one might shut off some' at you from my devouring eyes.1’ He was mixing ingredients In a chafing-dish as. he spoke, and he wore the trying air of smug complacency that invarlablj accompanies that simple process. “No," he objected, as she tried te help him, “L will do the brain-work. Your part is to be feminine and rust briskly back and forth, offering me things I don’t want. And at the last moment,” he added gloomily, “you may tell, me that there isn’t a . lemon In the place-” He looked about with the hopelessness of a great artist fafe Itig the failure of his. chef d'oeuvw T forgot the lemons.” . ., (TO BB CONTUIUBS4 Women, Here a re Facts!

Charles XII A EOTJGH LOOKING boy of fifteen came to the throne of Sweden In 1697, under the title of Charles XII, and started In at once on a cross be­ tween the simple and the strenuous life. He gave no sign that he was going to make a name for himself, for he hated the stupid business of state and spent most, of his time In hunting and athletics. Nor was there anything very kingly In his looks. His habitual dress was an old blue coat with cop­ per buttons, buffalo. skin gloves and huge boots that came above the knees. In those days of bard drinking and high living his way of life made him a marked man. He drank no wine, ate only coarse bread, and slept on the bare ground covered by a cloak. Patkul, the wily Lithuanian diplo­ mat, thought the boy king a fool and hit on a plan whereby other countries might take advantage of Charles’ care­ lessness of state affairs. He formed a triple alliance—Russia, Poland and Denmark—against Sweden. Denmark opened operations by invading Swedish territory. Then, for the first time, the world realized what character of king this unkempt, sport-loving boy was destined to be. For Charles, with a fierceness and vigor no one had dreamed he pos­ sessed, drove out the Danes and turned on the two other members of the alliance. He put away forever the pleasant outdoor home life he loved and turned to the wilder sport of hunt­ ing men. Russia, following Denmark’s lead, had advanced on Narva and the country around the Gulf of Finland. Poland’s army had besieged Riga. Charles, with barely 20,000 men, marched against the 80,000 Russians encamped under ,the walls of Narva. Then followed one of the strangest and briefest battles in the annals of warfare. Charles, disdaining all known military tactics, “rushed” the enemy’s camp, charging headlong into a force four times the size of his own. In less than fifteen minutes he had stormed it. Of the 80,000 soldiers, 30,000 were, killed and the rest cap­ tured or scattered. Without pausing, Charles hurried his little army across the Dwina, attacked the Saxon army intrenched there and utterly routed It Then he turned his attention to the Poles. By 1703 all Poland was help­ less before the twenty-one-year-old Swedish youth, and three years later he dictated peace terus to his three enemies. He had these once-powerful/ foes wholly at his mercy, yet he treated them magnanimously. Having completely broken up the alliance against Swedes and saved his country, Charles might have been ex­ pected to go back with a clear con­ science to his old, easy-going mode of life. But his fighting blood was up. The lust of conquest had fired hl3 brain and his former pleasures no longer appealed to him. He planned to crush Russia, and In 1707, with an army 37,000 strong, he marched on Moscow. But instead of going thither direct and striking one decisive blow, as was his custom, he listened to the advice of his ally, the Cossack chief Mazeppa, that he march first through the Ukraine in the hope of inciting Qie Cossacks to join him. The Uk­ raine expedition, was a failure. In 1709 Charles attacked' the rich city of Pultowa and was about to capture It when Czar Peter I of Russia bore down upon him with 70,000 men. Charles turned eagerly to meet this new foe. But In a preliminary skirmish he received a dangerous wound In the thigh. So, In the battle Itself (July 8, 1709), he had to issue his commands from a litter. His troops, deprived of his inspiring presence, and . weakened by starvation and fatigue, fell , back before the superior Russian force. His hopes baffled and his army beaten, Charles seemed to have lost all he had hitherto gained. But he wasted no time in despair. To check the Russia invasion, he ,promptly In­ cited Turkey to war with Russia. The latter country’s diplomats, however, persuaded the Turks that Charles had designs against Turkey, and an armed body of men was sent to arrest "him. Charles was still at Vamltza, In TurUsh territory, and had a guard of less than 300 Swedes. Tet with this puny force he defied all Turkey. He defended his house against a whole army of Turks and fought off the be- Blegers until they burned the house over his headl He was captured, fight­ ing, but escaped In disguise and made his way to lie fortress of Strelsund. There a mighty array of Russians, Danes, Saxons and Prussians assailed him on December 28, 1715, and by sheer weight of numbers defeated him. No longer able to win by force he now, for the first time, turned to statecraft He formed a stupendous plan’to win, what might In time have amounted to a world empire. His idea; In brief, was to form ap alli­ ance with Russia, attack and conquer Nonway, from Norway to cross to Scotland, Invade Great Britain and de­ throne King Oeorge I. -The scheme al­ most succeeded. The alliance was made with Russia, Norway was- In­ vaded and partly conquered. But, on November 30, 1718, whDe besieging Fredriksh ail, Charles’ head was crushed by a- cannon ball. Charles XH was but thirty-six when be died, and with his death Sweden sank from the high power to which his genius and mad courage had raised bier. ■ Leading States .; in Cooperation Increase Seen in Every Sec­ tion of Country With Few Exceptions.

These states were Minnesota, Iowa, Califor­ nia, Wisconsin, Illinois, North Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, New Tork and Michigan. Increase In Associations. In the ten-year period the ten states had an average of 63 per cent of the number of active associations In the country. Their association member­ ship averaged 49 per ceDt of the na­ tional total. About 70 per cent of the co-operative business done by farmers in the decade was done by associations in these states. This ap­ pears the more remarkable In view of the great Increase that took place from 1915 to 1925 in co-operative ac­ tivity in the South. Eight South Cen­ tral states, where comparatively little co-operative marketing was done In 1915, Increased their association mem­ bership more than 700 per cent in the ten-year period. In the ten years ending with 1925 sgricultural co-operation increased 'in every section of the country except in a few remote corners, says the United States Departjnent of Agriculture, which has assembled the foregoing Information/ In nine groups of states co-operative association membership more than doubled, the greatest gain being recorded in the South Central states and the least In the Pacific Coast states: Approximately 81 per cent of the country’s co-operative membership at the close of 1925 was In the West North Central states, 21 per cent was In the Bast North Cen­ tral states, 11 per cent in the East South Central states, and 10 per cent in the South Atlahtic states. Business Increased. - Volume of busness, as measured In dollars, Increased even more than membership. Business handled co-op- eratively for farmers In 1925 In the West South Central states, the East South Central states, the South Atlan­ tic states and the New England states, was more than 1,000 per cent greater than In 1915. For the East North Central states, the recorded business gain was 520 per cent, and for the Rocky mountain states 246 per cent Grain marketing associations were the most important commodity group in 191S and still held that rank In 1925, although their relative domi­ nance was less. Their volume of business increased 159 per cent In ten years. Associations marketing dairy products handled 500 per cent more Business at the end of the ten years than at the beginning. There was an Increase for the ten-year period of more than 1,000 per cent in the num­ ber of active live stock shipping as­ sociations. Although there were fewer cotton and fewer tobacco co-operative asso­ ciations'in 1925 than in 1915, the mem­ bership and business of these organi­ zations increased enormously. Each of the two groups had a gain in mem­ bership of more than 1,500 per cent Business handled by cotton co-opera­ tives Increased 9,887 per cent In the ten-year period, and that of ' tobacco marketing associations increased near­ ly 1,800 per cent United States Leading Road-Building Nation •Highway engineers. In foreign na­ tions are eager and conscientious stu­ dents of the current engineering liter­ ature that Is published In the United States, it was stated by Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the bureau of public roads. - According to Mr. MacDonald, for­ eign engineers generally regard wbat Is published in this country as final authority. This is probably due to some extent he says, to the fact that the United States, as the leading road-building nation In the world, does extensive - research work into highway engineering problems. Lamb Is Easily Killed A young lamb Is very easily billed. Exposure to cold, especially cold rains,' is nearly sure to prove fatal. Another frequent cause of loss is the failure of the lamb to get milk. The lamb may be too weak to stand and suck; there may be wool on the udder or belly that prevents sucking; or some­ times the mother does not want to own her lamb. All of these difficulties may be easily overcome if someone gives Just a little more attention , to the flock. ' • Ducks Easy to Raise Ducks are not more difficult to raise than chickens. Expensive buildings and. equipment are unnecessary. They do just as well In the cheaply con­ structed, low buildings, the main fea­ ture being that they have a comfort­ able place In .which to stay during cold and stormy weather. .Plenty of dry Utter should be' p ro v id e d .No roosts are required and no nests. The eggs are dropped anywhere on the litter, and generally Jnst before day­ light ' , Proper Hitch Will Save Tractor Power Much of Trouble Is Due to Incorrect Attachment. Many farmers experience serioua difficulty when they begin the opera­ tion of tractor plow outfits. Perhaps 75 per cent of this trouble may be laid to incorrect hitching of the plow to the tractor. If the plow does not run straight, level, and cut at uniform depths and widths, an entire season’s plowing may be ruined and the ma­ chinery' itself quickly worn out The plow should be adjusted to have proper “suction,” and ‘land.” The weight due to cutting, lifting and pulverizing the soil must be equally distributed on all the wheels In order that undue wear will not come on any part, and to give the wheel which op­ erates the power lift sufficient trac­ tion to cause positive action In re­ moving the plow bottoms from the ground. The hitch should be made so that the center line of the pull of the tractor coincides with the center line of draft of the plow. The center line of draft of a 14-inch plow comes about 2 inches from the land side of the bottom. On a 2-bottom plow It comes about 19 inches from the edge of the furrow wall. Jt the plow can­ not be hitched so that these lines co­ incide, the plow should be favored. This means that the hitch should be made half-way between the two lines or else nearer to the center line of draft of the plow than to the center line of pull of the tractor. A high hitch is bad because it tends to lift the plow out of the ground and take the weight off the wheels. This slows up the lift and -thereby causes poor plowing. A hitch which is too low causes the plow to run “on Its nose," and creates unnecessary wear on the share, increasing- draft and do­ ing poor work. Proper hitching con­ siderably reduces the power necessary for plowing. Time to Plan for Next Winter’s E g g Supply Culling the flock, early hatching and proper feeding and care will put pul­ lets in the best condition for laying in October, November and December, months of rising prices for eggs, says Cora Cooke, poultry specialist with the agricultural extension division of the University of Minnesota. In De­ cember, 1921, she says, eggs were worth 40 to 50 cents a dozen. In Jan­ uary they had dropped to 25 and 30 cents, with the feed cost about the same. • Urging Immediate planning for next year’s egg production, Miss Cooke advocates hatching of all heavy breeds by April 15 and light breeds by May 15. Culling through the fall and winter will help to raise the flock average and lower the feed bill. “The person who secures eggs In October, November and December makes the profit” she says. Protection for Bees in Winter V ery Important On many farms where a few stands of bees are kept to furnish a home supply of honey, considerable losses -are experienced during the winter months on account of failure to under­ stand the habits of this Insect Whfen going by a hive of bees In the winter time we often note the Incessant hum­ ming and buzzing of the bees. The colder It Is the faster they hum. They do this in order to keep up the tem­ perature sufficiently to keep them alive. The harder they have to work the more likely they are to exhaust their vitality and be unable to gather honey the following summer. Wind­ break^ around the hives, together with other protection In the way of making the hive close and free from all drafts, will pay back returns. -Recommend That Mash Be Handy at All Times In addition to the scratch grain and the green feed, it is recommended that a mash be kept before the birds at all times. The following ones are economical and effective: (I) 200 pounds of ground oats, 100 pounds of ground corn and 60 pounds of a pack- meat and bone; (2) 100 pounds of ground corn, 100 pounds ground oats, 100; pounds bran, 100 pounds of mid­ dlings and 80 pounds of the meat and- bone feed; (3) 100 pounds of ground com, 200 pounds of ground oats, 100 pounds of middlings. 100 pounds of gluten feed and 100 pounds of the pieat and bone prodnct Substantial and- convenient • farm buildings save feed and labor. • • • Egg' white is a good remedy for sUgbt burns - or scalds. It excludes the air and gives instant relief. The foUr horsemen of better farm­ ing are soil' building, balanced crop­ ping, quality production and orderly marketing.*: * * Working with the head Indoors' In bad weather will make working with the hands outdoors In good weather more profitable.

Budapest, Hungary.-r-In a sumptu­ ous apartment in a hotel here, Count Joseph Daun, Hungary's richest noble­ man, heard that a court had decided a lawsuit involving $30,000,000 in his favor. ' Within an hour in ,his room a shot rang out. Employees of * the hotel found the count with a- bullet wound in his chest He had shot himself. Count Daun’s wife was Emma Er- dody, whose blond, pearl-like loveli­ ness was the toast of Hungary. His two uncles, Count Nicholas and Count John, died and left him their com­ bined fortunes, equivalent to $30,- 000,000. Count Daun had to sue to obtain possession of the estates. A long struggle ensued. During five years the case passed from one court to an­ other. The count’s time was so taken up that he seldom saw his wife. When Count Daun learned that the fortune was finally in his possession his first thoughts turned to his wife. She must be the first to know, he told himself. - He telephoned her the news, but she interrupted him coldly. "I am not interested In your mil­ lions,” said the wife. “You can have your victory. Tou may have won your case, but you have lost me. I don’t wish to see you again.”' The count fell into an hour of black despair, at the end of which he turned his pistol on himself. When his wife learned of her husband’s deed she hur­ ried to him. She wept- and forgave him. S t e a l O n l y N i g h t g o w n s T h e n B u r n B u i l d i n g s McAlester,' Okla.—Citizens llving in the 'vicinity, of AIderson, Okla., are terror-stricken and using the old war­ time method of standing guard over their property at night as the result of a number of .mysterious fires which have taken a toll of six or seven houses and barns during the last five months. Before the burning of the buildings, the homes of the owners have been entered some time prior to firej but only one time was anything taken except nightgowns. From the home of George Smith the arsonist took two nightgowns and a shotgun. Two days later Smith lost his barn and live stock by fire. The bam of John Jones was burned to the ground. The day before the fire his home was entered and a night­ gown stolen. The gown was found later cut to shreds in a field near the house: On the night of December 16 Morris Hillyer was guarding his barn armed with a shotgun. He lay down for a few minutes’ rest, and almost immedi­ ately his barn was afire all over.

Lone, of Statesville, held i meetintr in Charlotte the past week, and Sunday night in the closing ser­ vice he proceeding to flay thing9 right and left. yThere is 110 hope for America,” said Mr Long “until mothers have the moral courage to tell their child­ ren they must be home by 11 o’clock at night ” He also assailed parents for per­ mitting their childred to take auto­ mobile rides at night unchaperoned. “I have long ceased to be sanguine about the salvation of children while their elders are unconverted. Civic clubs were characterized as ‘‘clubs of the devil.” “Run your civic clubs,” he said, 4 until you run them to hell where they belong. You never discuss missionaries or anything like that in your civic cluos. You rant on the subject of materials wealth and commeece until it has gone far that moral spiritual values are the last things to be thought of in North Carolina.’ .Posters Confiscated Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 15.—The familiar bathing beauty who sits smiling out of public posters with a bottle of a popular brand of soft drink is in bad in Atlanta. .The police says her pose is sug­ gestive, and they confiscated dozens of the placards in a series of raids on the drug stores and restaurants under a general order from Chief James L Beavers. Thechiefsaidhe found no Ob- Showpd that when meals were"ready jection to other well known bath-' Mrs. Arnold would call her husband dent. R. W. Carver, superintendent,^ the Hickory public schools, has given notice that tag days and. ad- vertisiug schemes will not be coun­ tenanced by the schools of that city while he is the head. He states that the Hickory school are for the purpose of disseminating academic knowledge and not for .tbe promul­ gation of schemes and. advertising stunts. The habit that, becomes preva­ lent over the country for the school children to sell magazines, candy, run department stores for a day, and a numberless list of other things utilizing their spare time or'taking them from their studies, does not find favor with the Hickory sup­ erintendent. Some time ago Mr. Carver stop­ ped tag days which were in vogue to raise money for athletic purposes and some similar cause. ''It we can't support our athletics without these devices” Mr. Carver said. we will let them drop.”—Union Republican. y Aged Conple Divorced.
